[CentOS-docs] Anaconda Slides Translations

Anaconda translation files are organized by CentOS versions. This way we could have different slides, with probably different texts (due specific version technical characteristics) for each CentOS major version/release. All Anaconda translation files[3] are in our subversion artwork repository, available for you to checkout.

Hi John,
Just curious here, from Sean's request info, this script would
run on the web server the user was connected to. How will this
curl command be able to pull the file from the user's system
up on to the server?
I know that curl can be used to send data to or from a server,
but it usually seems to be running on the user's system (eg the
browser side of the relationship). In this case wouldn't it be
running on the server?
I seem to be missing part of the flow here.
Curl is my favorite CLI web tool. If it can do this I want to
understand it. As I understand it, The user's machine would need
to be running an http (or ftp) service in order to fulfill this
curl request originating from the server. I keep rechecking the
curl man page and I'm still missing it.
I've probably overlooked something basic. :-)

Because a new good RAM, or because increased RAM quantity? ;-) Who knows? Unless previous memory was _very_ small, it's most likely due to new good ram. But the important thing, I think, is that the memtest showed bad ram (IIRC, you said that) and you replaced the memory. So, the cause of the anaconda failure was seemingly bad memory. If that cause and effect is true, the symptom was caused by the bad memory and that solved the problem. If someone has a problem with anaconda in the future, they will be reminded that install failures can be caused by memory problems, among other possibilities. IIRC, graphic install needs = 512MB and text installs need = 256MB. But neither of those issues would cause a memtest failure. Poorly seated DRAM can cause it, memory _does_ age and can go bad and bad spots that were undetected in the factory QC process can also suddenly appear. Other things, like weak/failing PS can also cause symptoms. Regards, Alain snip -- Bill ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Yum Issue.. Installing Older Package Version
Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I'm trying to install a package from a not-to-be-named repository (privately operated for some proprietary software). They currently have a package I need but offer multiple versions. However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm unable to do so. So, how would you specify version number for a package with two candidates but the same name? I'm at a loss... :-( Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

In the example; bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.1.P1.el5_2.i386.rpm bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2.i386.rpm I think you would specify yum install bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.1.P1 but a later update will upgrade it anyway. If there software doesn't work with the newer version, it shouldn't be in their repo, IMHO. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

[CentOS] LDAP Authentication to Lotus Domino?
Has anybody done any authentication to Lotus Domino using LDAP? I selected LDAP options in the authconfig-tui application, per the documentation here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-ldap-pam.html when I try to query the directory for user information though, I get no results using the ldapsearch command [r...@ldapclient ~]# ldapsearch -x uid=crichards # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base with scope subtree # filter: uid=crichards # requesting: ALL # # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 1 I'm not quite sure what I'm missing, as I can manually query the directory for, say, a uid, with the ldapsearch command with options specified and it returns the correct info from the directory.

Re: [CentOS] LDAP Authentication to Lotus Domino?
base I don't really know too much about LDAP, and I know less about Lotus Domino, so hopefully I'm not blowing in the wind, but shouldn't this have something in it? Like dc=yourcompany,dc=com? Maybe with an ou=people prepended to it so it knows to look in the right subtree? -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923www.knossos.net.nz signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] High softirq usage in Centos 5
Hi, I have a machine under heavy network traffic. Kernel is Centos kernel 2.6.18 SMP 32 bit. Ethernets are 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 05:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 06:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) 06:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) The mainboard is with Intel 5000 series chipset Asus board. When I use 2.6.9 kernel with the same location and traffic I have had no softirq usage. Also in 2.4 Centos 3 machine I have had no softirq usage. With the same location and traffic I have softirq usage %25: Cpu0 : 2.0%us, 2.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 71.3%id, 0.0%wa, 2.7%hi, 22.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu1 : 1.0%us, 1.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 79.7%id, 0.0%wa, 1.3%hi, 16.6%si, 0.0%st I have no extra parameters in grub.conf.

[CentOS] What does system-config-netboot do???
Having given up on getting system-config-netboot to work (reading the pointers I have received to the wiki, say it is broken), I have the simple question What is it suposed to do??? I have tried to look at the code, but its written in python and I cant follow the logic. Im sure I can easily do whatever is necessary at the command line If I just knew what it was trying to do with its cute user interface (and dont get me started on broken, cute, user interfaces...) -- Reg.Clemens r...@dwf.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] xCache install error ($PHP_AUTOCONF?)
Hey Kai, thanks for the response, I think I have found the problem; For some reason if I download the source for xCache or eAccelerator and unpack the tar ball then change to that directory and run phpize I still get the error: Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable is set correctly and then rerun this script. But someone has posted a source rpm online for download to compile into a binary rpm but when I do I get the error: [r...@server1882 /]# rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/php-xcache.spec error: Failed build dependencies: php is needed by php-xcache-5.2.5_1.2.1-jason.1.x86_64 php-devel is needed by php-xcache-5.2.5_1.2.1-jason.1.x86_64 It can't see that php and php-devel are installed but they are, and running beautifully? So I'm guessing that phpize is having the same problems in that it can't seem to understand that fact the autoconf, autoheader, libtool, m4, make etc they are all installed and working?
