When the grub menu appears, press a key to interrupt the countdown timer. Then press e to edit the default boot kernel settings. Follow instructions on the screen as they appear, but the aim is to edit the boot command and remove the rhgb setting on the boot command. This will disable the GUI boot and you'll see a text based boot sequence. At one point, you'll see where the damage is. Using this same technique, you can edit the boot command and add single to the command so the machine will boot into single user mode. You can then correct your error and hopefully the machine will then boot normally. If your server is badly damaged, you may need to boot into rescue mode using the CentOS install CD/DVD.

We have kernel support for IPv6 in Centos, but not stateful firewall support. That requires at least the 2.6.20 kernel, which means Fedora Core 6 or some other Linux distro.

[CentOS] Low-memory Centos5?
Good morning, I've inherited an old laptop from my wife that I'd like to use when I travel (it's fairly small with a 12 screen). The bad part is that it is maxed out on memory with 384MB. Has anyone played with using Centos5 on systems with little memory? Ideally, I don't need too much - Firefox, Openoffice, a little Perl/Python/C here and there. I was thinking about using either XFCE or Icewm as the window manager. I'd also like it to work with the existing wireless card (Dlink DWL-G650). Any thoughts or recommendations? TIA!

Re: [CentOS] Low-memory Centos5?
IMO, CentOS is not a good choice for old hardware with small amounts of ram, esp since the apps you want to use (Fx2 and OoO) are notorious for being profligate with ram. If no-one here can point you to a Redhat-based distro with modest requirements, you could check out Zenwalk, which uses XFCE. It is a slackware-based distro and is famous for including only one app for each task and running like the blazes on old hardware. It is not a cutdown semi-useable distro like DSl and puppy. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you don't have to have a Red Hat based distro for this installation,
perhaps look at DSL.
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
You can do an installation to hard drive and it takes very little
resources. It's Debian based, not my preference, but perfect for these
types of situations.
It's supposed to run on memory as low as 128Mb and still be fast.
As far as your wireless, from what I read you have to use the
ndiswrapper to get cards to work under it, configuring it with
wlanconfig. I've never done it.
Anyways, hope this helps. Not that I like suggesting non CentOS
products, but it's a suggestion.
Regards,
Max

Firefox 1.5 works fine. Watch yourself with OpenOffice, don't have too much running. One trick I do with Centos servers running with only 256Mb, is run VNCserver and then from my notebook access with Gnome.

Jeffrey B. Layton scribbled on Thursday, May 29, 2008 1:31 PM: I use CentOS 5.1 with 256M RAM (incl X, Gnome, Firefox etc and the proprietary Nvidia 3D gfx drivers. Yes I know it's overkill, but it's so much nicer and easier to move around stuff using a file manager instead of doing it on the CLI) in a web server scenario (single family site with lots of pics). Works very well and I haven't had any problems, except for that yum maxes out the CPU (Amd Duron/750) occasionally. This is a stationary computer, and an old one at that. Portables however have a history of being slower generally (especially older ones), so you might want to inform us on what other hw you have in yours. XFCE is nice, fast and slick. Good choice. You might want to shut down most daemons you don't have a need for. I've been running CentOS 5 on a P3/500 with 256M as well (It's a Best Okechobee). Works fine, but some hardware might need some tweaking. I run X, Gnome, Firefox and OpenOffice et all on this one. CentOS even found my obscure noname USB-to-Ethernet adapter too!

Suits me - I have a different question (and it's probably up somewhere I don't have time to look at the moment - I'll check when I get to work, but by then I'll have forgotten this question again). Does 5.2 have an updated release of GDE with it? Every so often, among other things, when I exit Evolution, it crashes, but Bug Buddy says it can't report the bug because my GDE is too old. 5.0 came with GDE 2.16.0. Gnome development is up to 2.23.1 (or later - I lost track). RHEL-5 will probably be 2.16 til its end of life. This is generally true .. the minor kde or gnome version (that is the 5 in kde-3.5.4 or the 16 in gnome-2.16.0) has never changed in a the same RHEL version in the past ... HOWEVER, I have heard that RHEL-6 is a ways off and that RHEL 5.3 will continue to have major changes, even more pronounced than those in 5.2, so we will need to wait and see :D Well one can hope... Personally I would love to see KDE 3.5.9 pulled in as it is a lot more stable and robust then KDE 3.5.4. KDE 4.0 is still way too immature even for RHEL 6, the interface still needs a lot of working out, polishing and the icons need to look more, well less like a child's software system. I still prefer to use KDE 3.5 and 3.5.9 is definitely the way to go there. -Ross Well hopefully the testing of KDE 4 in Fedora 9 will answer the issue of whether it is ready or not for RHEL6. Also, as RHEL6 is still a way off, and KDE 4 is developing fast, things _may_ have changed by the time it is released. But I do agree, atm I'd personally rather see KDE 3.5 included. The other factor to consider is the long term support issues related to maintaining KDE 3.5 in RHEL6 given that I _think_ qt3 is already unsupported. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] nfsnobody 65534 vs 4294967294
Hi, I just had a couple of questions about nfsnobody. We run a very large NFS infrastructure based off of a NetApp, and we're been discussing whether or not it is necessary to have 64 bit nfsnobody as 4294967294. I understand the reasoning behind this (2^32 - 2 gives you a max UID), but we're having issues since we run multiple architectures. The UID doesn't play nice across Solairs, Centos, 32 vs 64bit, etc. Are there any obvious security risks or problems with using nfsnobody as 65534 (2^16 - 2) on 64bit, or even just assigning it a random value, 300 for example? I can't see any particular reason for having such a high number other than to keep it above any possible real UID space. Also, the NetApp automatically generates quota tables based off of the highest UID, so obviously this is a *major* problem if suddenly we have billions of users as far as the NetApp is concerned. Ultimately, we'd like to just assign it a low value in the range with our other system account, but we are not sure of the potential risks with NFS etc. Any comments would be appreciated.

Ever since I upgraded all my systems to CentOS 5.1 I have been getting reports from users about all their windows disappearing. A little digging revealed that they meant all gnome-terminal windows. Since there is only one gnome-terminal process by default for all your open terminal windows and tabs, a crash of that process means losing all your terminal windows. These crashes often (but not always) occur over night when the system is otherwise idle.

So far it's looking pretty good. Question: if I do this, will I be able to move back to the stock-1.5-version without problems. In other words: is the stuff like bookmarks, history etc that is written to disk backward-compatible? Last time I did something like this was with the beta 5 release. In that case I removed the box version and installed globally. Going that direction, the per-user config files seemed to hold as normal. Once I discovered that the needed Java app wouldn't work, I uninstalled the beta, reinstalled box-stock. Again, no config issues.

Re: [CentOS] Centosplus vmware kernels....???
Thanks Tru and Johnny, one more question. Can I just use the centos5-testing repo, ie, yum enablerepoxxx install kernel-vm? I ask because I tried and while it worked it loaded an older kernel. Should I just go to tru's directory and install the RPM directly? Also, ok more than one question, are the open-vm-tools in the same repo or only found in Johnny's testing directory. Thanks again...

Akemi So if I understand this correctly, one should not be using a stock kernel when running inside a vm, but should use the kernel-vm kernel? It depends on the host hardware and OS - many combinations have trouble servicing the 1000hz guest clock which has to be simulated in software. Also, some host systems have variable speed CPUs controlled by power managment which throws off the guests: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_UScmd=displayKCexternalId=1591 -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] GFS
Mag Gam wrote: Hello: I am planning to implement GFS for my university as a summer project. I have 10 servers each with SAN disks attached. I will be reading and writing many files for professor's research projects. Each file can be anywhere from 1k to 120GB (fluid dynamic research images). The 10 servers will be using NIC bonding (1GB/network). So, would GFS be ideal for this? I have been reading a lot about it and it seems like a perfect solution. Any thoughts? TIA Perfect? No, but usable. We've got a cluster of 4 systems attached to a fibre-channel-based SAN running CentOS 4 and the Cluster Suite components with multiple instances of the Oracle database. It actually works pretty well and fails over nicely in the case of exceptions. It is moderately complex to set up, but the information needed REALLY IS in the docs... you just have to REALLY read them! We haven't tried CentOS 5 and the new cluster components as Oracle only supports the version of the database we're running on Red Hat EL4. Given that, the combination looks a bit more finished than the versions in EL4. Another alternative that we are examining is using OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster File System 2) and iSCSI for the shared storage with Heartbeat for service management. This combination looks to be a bit lighter than the Cluster Suite and GFS, but I'm hoping to confirm or disprove that impression this summer in my copious free time.
