similar to: Centos 7 Xen Release!

So first of all, if you've used the CBS before, please note the name change -- it's no longer virt6-testing, but virt6-xen-44-testing. Easiest way to install: rpm -ivh http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-xen-44-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-xen-7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm This will set up yum repositories for both the eventual release repositories (enabled by default), and the

Yes I usually work headless, but I have been setting it up from new, so need to see what is going on. Regards Francis From: "Scot P.

Greetings: I'm planning to set up a test Centos 6.0 box (has CDROM, but no DVD) with these partions: / 10GB ( no separate mount for /usr ) /tmp 1GB /var 10GB /boot 500MB The centos mirrors I have seen do not provide the full distro on CD (this box has no DVD). I'm used to having about 6 CD isos to work with. The livecd install to hard

Folks I'm about to set up a non-root user on a Centos=7 server that I control for a friend. It is in his home, so access is local. He's a refugee from the latest Windows 10 Upgrade. I'd like a suggestion as to which of the several possible graphical desktops to suggest to him and set up for him as his default. My aim is: - Allow him to try out Linux as an end-user - Let him

Yes, that's because the CBS is is not meant to be for production use, but only for building and testing. This is for two reasons: 1. The CBS itself is not mirrored, nor provisioned for

All, I've had a heck of a time getting Fedora 16 to run as a guest VM under CentOS 5.7 host as a paravirtualized Xen guest. I believe the issue has something to do with Fedora 16 using grub2... When I attempt to start the VM (via xm create), I get this error: Using config file "/etc/xen/fedora-workstation". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pygrub",

Hello, In days past, all I had to do was create /etc/xen/auto and put a symlink in there to the config file for each VM I wanted to have started automatically. Since updating to 4.6, this doesn't work.? Period. I'm having a hard time finding what needs to change in order to get VMs to auto start on reboot of a server.? Can someone please point me to documentation that I have missed

Dear All I am using Centos 7 with Xen 4.6 on a Dell Poweredge T430 When the machine boots, after the 'Scrubbing Free RAM' message, I get a screen filled with little white squares until the login prompt, so I cannot see what is happening as the machine boots. Also there is nothing on the screen when I reboot. My /etc/default/grub is GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release

My vote is still for KDE It's got a similar feel to Windows before it went pear shaped at Win8. It's fairly easy to use. He should be able to do most stuff as a user.

hi, I just noticed that yum install xen does not pull in the xen kernel on c7, is this by design ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

I learned from Anne that if I boot to level 5, after I enter the username, can select Gnome or KDE. I note that the default is always Gnome. How can I make the default KDE? How can I get KDE with startx after booting to level 3? Thanks, Mike.

Hi, when I try to install Centos 5.8 on a Dell r410 then I don't get a "Virtualization" option during the package selection of the installer. Centos 5.7 does show that option fine. Is this a known issue? Regards, Dennis

Is there anything offered in Centos that might convert an XML file to a plain text file? My hopes are that it is flexible enough to make the following type of line: <title>Guide</title> into something like: title: Guide along with all the other fields. It'd be nice if it could handle multiple lines inside a single tag line as well. thanks steve campbell

Sorry to be so slow in responding. I've done what you suggested. I created /etc/sysconfig/desktop and entered "$DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM". I rebooted but there was no change. GDM is still being used. Any other suggestions? mw ======================== Just create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and put in it: DESKTOP=KDM I believe it's DESKTOP - you can dbl check /etc/X11/prefdm

Well, I started the install, got pxeboot to get to the kickstart file, formatted the drive... and then it failed, telling me "unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree." A quick google gives me the first hit from a year ago, bug 4372 <http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4372>, which says there's a metadata

<rant> Dear gnome developers - could you *possibly* be more anti-Unix? I mean, thanks *so* much for trying to turn Linux into Windows or Macs.... </rant> So, now that I've gotten that out, the KDE display manager, on the login screen, easily lets you choose window managers. Gnome utterly refuses to consider such an idea. I've just yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma

I've been thinking about ways to proceed if I need to set up 5 machines with basically identical software but somewhat variable hardware. A simple approach would be to just set up my golden system and clone the disk, but the hardware differences would probably cause problems. One approach that appeals to me is to install minimal centos on the first system, add a few rpms after installation,

Hello all - (Please forgive me if I sent this msg twice, first one didn't seem to go through) I searched through the archives and did not see anything about this (along with google), but if I missed something please don't hesitate to send me some links. Basically I have hit a problem that I cannot figure out at this point and seemed to have ran out of ideas via Google or the
