Everyone is back at work and starting to use computers on our smallest network which has Internet access through a rather old Linksys router.? Two systems were left on and screen-locked over the extra long weekend.? There does not appear to have been any Internet access interruption in our absence. A Firefox browser on one system was left pointing to a commonly used web site:

My thanks to all that responded to my posting about our virtual machine CentOS 6 system start-up issue.? I found the alternative boot options to be the most helpful.? Interrupting the boot-up process with Alt-d or Escape allowed me to see what appears to be a quite normal string of start, install and mount activity. However, this process ends with the system hanging at the point below: Starting

One of our STEM interns recently observed that there are inexpensive clocks that sync via radio to standard time services.? This begged a question about why every computer would not have a radio module to receive time.? Our senior staff did not have a good answer or if time from such a radio module would be supported by the operating system. When I was a student, such questions would have earned

I installed CentOS 7 from the DVD iso file: CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso Yum update was used (with no update issues) to install and update many packages. The installer is significantly different from CentOS 6 where one can basicallychoose to "install everything" if one has the patience to check all productsand all software options within those categories.? During the CentOS 7

Recent power management discussions plugged into one of our current frustrations, namely the interaction of the screen lock and power-save features on Intel/CentOS 6 platforms. We certainly would not have guessed that locking the screen would inhibit going into the power-save mode, but it sure seems to do exactly that on some of our test platforms. If one leaves the desktop idle for the timeout

We have been fortunate to hang onto one of our summer interns for part time work on weekends during the current school year. One of the intern's jobs is to load documents and data which are then processed.? The documents are .txt, .docx, and .pdf files. The data files are raw sensor outputs usually captured using ADCs mostly with eight bit precision.? All files are loaded or moved from one

There has been a bit of grumbling recently about HP printer capability in one of our smallest prototyping Labs.? We have a single GigE switch connecting a Windows 7 machine and a Dell/CentOS-6 machine.? The CentOS machine also has connectivity via another network.? Currently, only the Windows 7 machine has been setup for printing on our HP OfficeJet 8615. Our Samba effort on the CentOS system has

We have several CentOS 6 systems that are used in various configurations of test equipment.? One of the primary functions of these systems is the connectivity to serial ports of some operational systems that have serial port control requirements.? Lack of interface bus slots led us to the use of USB connected serial ports on these CentOS 6 systems. We first used these USB connected serial ports

We have a very old Dell desk top machine that has been running CentOS 6 for the past five years.? It received a new, 1 TB disk and additional memory before the OS installation.? It has been the primary Linux machine in our smallest and most remote field office.? It has been updated at least once a week and has all current dates installed. Boot-up this morning lasted about six times as long as

We have recently been asked to evaluate some computing machinery for a new project. This particular end user has very limited experience with the stated security requirements in a lights-out environment. Their primary work (as well as mine) in the past has been with very small, simple networks of desktop machines and a few servers with extremely limited access.? For the most part, their admins

Warren, one slight correction on an other wise nicely written bit of info: The time transmitted from WWV is not Mountain Time. Even though the WWV transmitter farm is located in the Mountain time zone, the signals are transmitted as "Coordinated Universal time", UTC, or 'Zulu' time. Here, you can listen to a recording made at the transmitter site for the 5Mhz signal:

We have been following the email list discussion regarding recent problems with yum and the upgrade to the most current CentOS 7. We have also tried some of the remedies suggested or recommended. None of these measures has yielded success, and it is not totally clear whether or not our most recent yum issues have the same root cause as those experienced by others. Fortunately, our yum execution

I'm having a hard time trying to get a gluster volume up and running. I have setup other gluster volumes on other systems without much problems but this one is killing me. The gluster vol was created with the command: gluster volume create mariadb_gluster_volume laeft-dccdb01p:/export/mariadb/brick I had to lower frame-timeout since the system would become unresponsive until the frame failed

Many thanks to those that responded to my original posting with information about Network UPS Tools and commercial UPS products. In our planning a path forward to implement UPS-based power fail protection, we have come across what appears to be an issue with the state of the CentOS 6 machines being UPS protected.? Most of these machines are desktop/deskside machines that are likely to be idle

Small private networks are a necessary part of our business. We also run some small networks with Internet connectivity through firewall routers.? The smallest of these networks has only a printer and a mix of five CentOS and Windows 7 machines. We use a commercial protection product on the W7 system. This product has worked well guarding against unwanted software on the system for about three

Hi, I have been doing some diskIO bench-marking of dom0 and domU (HVM). I ran into an issue where domU performed better than dom0. So I ran few experiments to check if it is just diskIO performance. I have an archlinux (kernel 3.5.0) + xen 4.2.2) installed on a Intel Core i7 Q720 machine. I have also installed archlinux (kernel 3.5.0) in domU running on this machine. The domU runs with 8 vcpus.

Hi, I have a scenario where a doctor can have one or more specialties. For each doctor, one and only one of her specialties can be designated as primary. So I have tables called doctors, specialties, and doctors_specialties, the last of which has a boolean is_primary column. The doctor model class specifies that: has_and_belongs_to_many :specialties I want to enforce, at the lowest possible

Hi all, I'm having a problem restructuring my data the way I'd like it. I have data that look like this: Candidate.ID Specialty Office Score 110002 C London 47 110002 C East 48 110003 RM West 45 110003 RM
