Hi, I've been setting up a networked printer in a 100% Linux LAN, and there's only one small problem left: how do I localize the CUPS interface (e. g. the pages I see when opening http://localhost:631 in a browser)? My system is localized in french. LANG is fr_FR.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. And I checked Firefox: it's supposed to open web content in French. Curiously, I had

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a local FTP server in order to get it to work. # yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd Here's what I'd like to do : * no anonymous access * only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install') The machine I'm installing it on has a static IP ok

Hi, I've recently setup a new server for our public libraries. For the last two years, this has been my first "big" job, since it involves networking eleven small to medium size public libraries. There was a hiccup some time ago when the administration hiring me wanted to do it on their own, but it took them less than two weeks to get the server hacked and lose everything. So

Hi, I'm currently configuring Squid and Squidguard for filtering web access in a public computer room. So far, everything works fine. I know how to configure Firefox to use a proxy, but there's no way to protect that configuration, e. g. a more knowledgeable user might circumvent this configuration. Is there some way to configure an HTTP proxy system-wide? Cheers from the sunny

Hi, I've spent the best part of a sunny afternoon trying to get Skype to work on my CentOS 5 desktop. My soundcard seems configured OK. I can play sounds and hear them OK in my headset: $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav I can record speech from my microphone OK: $ arecord > ~/test.wav ... although I have to say that sound quality seems rather poor. It's quite fuzzy. Other

Hi, In my office I have a server running CentOS 5.5. I have Apache+PHP+MySQL running on that server, and I'm exporting /var/www/html, so I can mount it on my main desktop with NFS. Server : grossebertha Desktop : babasse [root at babasse:~] # mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

Hi, I recently discovered Markdown, and I'm currently using it to write some documentation for CentOS 7. https://github.com/kikinovak/formation-linux For the time being, I'm using my good old Vim editor for writing it. I turned off syntax highlighting, since this produces random results with Markdown. Pages are correctly displayed on Github, but in order to see them, I have to push

This is a real life-changer for me. I had to fiddle a couple hours with Node.js and tweaking Vim until Markdown was handled correctly, but now I have a really nice

Hi, I recently setup a CentOS 5 file server for a small LAN consisting of 15 Windows XP clients. The LAN is eventually expected to migrate to Linux, at least some of the client machines. The previous setup made by a local Windows-only computer firm was an unhealthy mix of static and dynamic IP addresses with conflicting adresses, etc. First thing I undertook was clean up this mess by setting

Hi, I'm running a DHCP server on my local network. I've noticed something that puzzles me. Leases are written to /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases, but only - so it seems to me - if the address is not fixed in any way in dhcpd.conf. Here's a few stanzas of my dhcpd.conf : host babasse { hardware ethernet 00:0d:61:ae:6b:8f; fixed-address 192.168.1.1; option

Hi, I just sanded down the remaining edges of my CentOS 7 post-install configuration script and published it on a Github repository, along with some detailed instructions. * https://github.com/kikinovak/centos-setup Feel free to use it (and/or adapt it to your needs).

Listers, I encountered a problem with samba (2.2.7a) when I was setting CUPS (1.1.14) up. I set it up through the web interface, setting the appropriate values in smb.conf: [global] <snip> printing = cups load printers = yes printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes

Hi, I'm currently setting up a local LAMP server to test various apps. Starting from the out-of-the-box configuration of Apache, I test it, and it's OK: http://localhost shows Apache's default page OK in Firefox. Now I edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and replace 'UserDir disabled' by 'UserDir public_html'. I restart Apache. Then, as a normal user (kikinovak): $

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5 on all my computers here (work + home) and I'm very satisfied with it. Some time ago I purchased a 300 GB external hard drive to store films, music, pictures and documents. Since there's no Windows machine around here (small South French village, town hall and public library use Linux :o)), I replaced the FAT filesystem on the disk by an ext2 filesystem.

Hi everybody, I'm back to CentOS after a long period during which I've been using mainly Slackware. I still use Slackware for teaching and for my local clients (on servers and desktops), but right now, I'm planning to update my own documentation about CentOS, which is still based on version 5.x. First things first. For the moment I have a sandbox server in my office with a

Hi, I'd like to use SSH without password so I can use it in scripts (for example in combination with rsync to do backups). I have Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook" and I'm trying out the various receipts, but the one for SSH without a password doesn't work. The book is slightly dated, and I wonder if SSH included in CentOS works differently. Any suggestions? Niki

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.3 on all my desktops, and I really like it. Now I'd like to build a few additional apps that aren't included in any third party repo. Some of them require GTK2 2.12 to build, so I'm considering a (careful) upgrade of this package. General question: 1) how "safe" is it to upgrade this package? To do so, I'd use an SRPM from Fedora. 2) What

Hi everyone, I just discovered something very weird on a vanilla CentOS 7 installation. If I create a link to /tmp as a normal user, it looks like I can't remove this link anymore. Here's what this looks like: $ mkdir test_link $ cd test_link/ $ ln -s /tmp/ link_to_tmp $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 kikinovak kikinovak 5 Sep 17 10:56 link_to_tmp -> /tmp/ $ rm link_to_tmp/

Hi, I'm usually booting all machines here with 'vga=788 quiet' options in menu.lst, so I see what services start, but it's not too verbose at the same time. One message that puzzles me is the very first one after GRUB starts init: "Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range." Anyone knows what that means? Niki
