Give a specific symptom. This was brought to my attention because one program was killed by the kernel to free memory and another program failed because it was unable to allocate

Does anyone know of a cheap temperature sensor that will work with Linux? I don't need a fancy monitoring appliance, I just want a simple sensor that I can connect to one of my monitoring servers to let me know if the server room is getting hot. -- Bowie

My apologies if this is a bit off topic... I am going to start doing backups to removable hard drives and I will need to send these hard drives to an off-site storage facility. I am looking for some way to protect the drives after I pull them out of the system. I was hoping to find some kind of clamshell enclosure similar to what is used with external hard drives, but so far I haven't found

I have two drives in a software mirror. Other than setting the bios to boot from the second drive, is there any way to confirm that grub is installed properly on the second drive? -- Bowie

I have used the package-cleanup utility to remove old kernel packages, but I noticed that it only removes the 'kernel' and 'kernel-devel' packages. It does not touch 'kernel-smp', 'kernel-hugemem', etc. What is the recommended method of cleaning up these other kernel packages? Should I just 'yum remove' the ones I don't need? Some of my servers have a

What's the deal with all of the new dependencies for xulrunner-devel in the last update? I'm updating my servers and the update for xulrunner-devel is forcing me to install 43 new packages! Is this a packaging problem, or are all of those packages really needed? For the moment, I've been removing xulrunner-devel from my machines to avoid the problem. I figure since it is a

I updated my i386 systems without any problems, but when I tried to update one of my x86_64 systems, I got an error from yum. Transaction Check Error: file /usr/include/libdevmapper.h from install of device-mapper-1.02.02-3.0.RHEL4 conflicts with file from package device-mapper-1.01.04-1.0.RHEL4 So it can't install the newer package because it conflicts with the older package???

I have a server that frequently hangs while rebooting. I see no errors, but during the boot process it stops at this stage: Initializing hardware... storage network audio The cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. This server has no audio capabilities, so I am thinking that I just need to disable the audio stuff so it doesn't

I have a CentOS 7 server that I want to use as an audio source for our hold music. It does not have a GUI installed, so I am looking for a program with a command line interface that will let me play a folder full of mp3 files on a continuous loop. MOC seems to do what I want, but I can't find a build for CentOS 7. Is there another program that I can use for this? Thanks. -- Bowie
