Akemi-san has suggested that I turn the following post into a wiki article. (The article would be a bit better organized, since if one bothers to follow the thread, you'll see that I found that one can use the pcf2vpnc in Dag's rpm without worrying about having a plain text password.) http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=18444&forum=38&post_id=67625 If

I've recently documented simple use of a VServer with CentOS host and guest. toracat@ said that it might be worthwhile putting on the wiki. The present article is located at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/vserver.html If it does get to the wiki, I would remove the fedora section and also add a notice at the beginning of the article with dire warnings about using a non-stock kernel.

Just a note for anyone doing a page on Acer laptops. I had put in my own page, and notice that someone had put in theirs as well, that though the module loads, sound doesn't work. It turns out that one can get sound working by downloading the latest alsa drivers. I've added a note to my page on the 4720z. The issue seems to be that CentOS uses an older version of alsa. (I also, of

The Aspire One is one of those netbooks that have become so popular recently. I've installed CentOS on the hard drive model, and have been considering doing a wiki article about it, and probably will unless there are strenuous objections. The objections might come from the fact that outside drivers are required for wireless, webcam, sound, and even wired ethernet. I have an article on my

I have a page where I document getting the increasingly popular AR5007EG Atheros wireless card working. (This is the card used in the Asus EEE PC). The current article covers several distributions, but would be modified to just cover CentOS. It does, however, involve getting third party software, as the rpmforge repos don't have the necessary drivers. (Apparently, it's a bit of a

I have a page I've done on the 4720z. It involves using 3rd party packages. The original page, which covers several distributions, is at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/acer4720z.html I would just use the laptop template, with a link to my page on it for the webcam, as in works with 3rd party software, see <link to my page> and wireless, works with 3rd party software, see

As anyone who has looked at it knows, the KVM article, which was primarily written by me, is way out of date and really only covers CentOS 5. (Someone has added a link to the main RH docs page.) The top section, covers CentOS 6 in one sentence. The other day, I was playing with it and came across this article, which I found very well done. (Though for twenty minutes, I couldn't get my bridge

So, probably some of you, at least, follow Fedora, perhaps in part to see what new desktop user oriented decision will make it into the next version of RHEL/CentOS. You may have noticed how if Fedora, by some odd scheme, deems your password unworthy, you have to click Done two times. So, the latest Ananconda takes this one step further. Passwords that the system considers weak will no longer

Greetings everyone. I have some CentOS 7 VMs running on the system for which I just made the inquiry about the kworker problem, and I was able to institute immediate change of hostname by updating the /etc/hostname file. I have network manager running on the host, as well, and it also has the name populated in this file. When I make the change in /etc/hostname, it takes immediate effect, and

This might show up twice, I think I sent it from a bad address previously. If so, please accept my apologies. In Fedora 22, one developer (and only one) decided that if the password chosen during installation wasn't of sufficient strength, the install wouldn't continue. A bug was filed, and there was also a great deal of aggravation about it on the Fedora testing list. So, it was

It was the mid/late-90s, but I seem to recall Bourne being the default shell, although sh/ksh/csh were all available with a typical install.
