[CentOS-docs] Wiki page request for HP Pavilion DV7-2250ED laptop

2010-01-23 Thread Bas Vermeulen
Hello,

I'd like to add a wiki page for the HP Pavillion DV7-2250ED laptop.
The proposed position would be 
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Pavilion-DV7-2250ed

I'd like to add the steps needed to install, and what's needed to get 
wireless working (and anything else that pops up after that).

Regards,

Bas Vermeulen

Hello:

I am using kvm on a CentOS 5.4 server.

I am trying to install the TunkeyLinux Core appliance 
found here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/core

I downloaded the ISO file from the web site.

Then, I used this command to intall it:
virt-install -n tkl-core -r 512 --vcpus=1 --check-cpu
--os-type=linux 
--os-variant=ubuntuhardy -v --accelerate 
-c /tmp/turnkey-core-2009.10-hardy-x86.iso 
-f /var/lib/libvirt/images/tkl-core.img -s 15 -b br0 --vnc
noautoconsole

When I connect to the VNC console, I get the Turnkey linux 
options screen.
I select Install to hard disk from there and it seems to 
start the install but crashes during the installer startup.


Runs fine on my centos 5.4 kvm, although I used the
virt-manager gui to install it. 

Interesting little distro - thanks for bringing it to my
attention...

Are you using bridged networking?  I think it has something
to do with that as well as not having a DHCP server in
my network.

I am glad you found it useful.  I think it is a great
project which adds tremendous value.

Thanks,

Actually, yes. I use a bridge to connect to the lan, where
guests obtain addresses thru DHCP, but I have no issues
assigning addresses by hand either. 

That host machine has at least two nics. One for the host,
and one shared/bridged for the guests.

If there's any config files you're interested in seeing, I
could post them.

Why consult the wiki?
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/MoveNative2DomU

You need a xenified kernel. I see you use the plus kernel. There might be 
no xenified plus kernel.
Anyway, what you have to do, if I remember right, is to mount the c4 
partition in your c5, chroot to it and then install that xenified kernel 
and a new initrd to it. Read the instructions about 4.5-only on the 
wiki, that should get you going.

[CentOS] Gmail problem

2010-01-23 Thread Majian
Hi,all :


There is gmail drive for windows
platformhttp://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#where the person can
access his gmail storage space as a drive.

Do we have something similar on Linux?
 Means is there any software that will allow the person to 'mount' the gmail
storage and say 'copy/paste' from his system to the gmail account?

Re: [CentOS] Gmail problem

I don't know if there is one, but I think the Gmail Drive app for
windows simply connects to your mail account and files you store on
there are actually attachments to drafts emails (its been a while so I
might be wrong). I'm sure from Linux you could script this without to
much difficulty?

I don't see how this relates to a Gmail Problem, as it seems as you're
simply asking if a similar application exists. 

 

Maybe you should use the prime application that came out of Google, and it
just happens to be called Google.

  the find ... -exec variation will invoke a new rm command for

beyond that, the effect should be the same.

[CentOS] any significant differences between centos and OEL?

2010-01-23 Thread Robert P. J. Day

  someone just pointed out to me that there is a distro called oracle
enterprise linux which is effectively a re-branded RHEL, so i'm
curious -- has anyone here used both centos and OEL and would there be
any differences that would be worth caring about?

  the only thing i can think of that might be worthwhile is that OEL
might change some of the default kernel parms thru /etc/sysctl.conf
that make that distro more appropriate for running large oracle
databases.  beyond that, i have no idea.

  thoughts?

  the find ... -exec variation will invoke a new rm command for
 every single file it finds, which will simply take more time to run.
 beyond that, the effect should be the same.
 
 
 Unless there are files or directories with spaces in them, in which case the 
 xargs variant can fail.

find on CentOS 5.4 supports

find path -exec {} +;

which avoids the negative effect of spawning new subprocesses when using
-exec {} \;

find on CentOS 4.8 does not support that.

 It is likely the original poster either did
 find * ...
 or find . -name *
 and the bash shell still expanded the arguments.  He was on the right track 
 using the find command, but it wasn't used right.

I'll have to give that a try sometime.  A person gets used to a subset of a

anyway i can get the mic detected inside the VM? or any utility for voice
chat with Gtalk users in centos ??

 curious -- has anyone here used both centos and OEL and would there be
 any differences that would be worth caring about?

  the only thing i can think of that might be worthwhile is that OEL
 might change some of the default kernel parms thru /etc/sysctl.conf
 that make that distro more appropriate for running large oracle
 databases.  beyond that, i have no idea.

  thoughts?


CentOS is essentially a doggedly faithful rebuild of RHEL. OEL adds
some tweaks, php-oracle, and various other mods they feel are
appropriate. Last I looked, it was available for free, but the updates
and support came with a price tag attached. This may have changed, and
I make no claims as to its stance.

There's also a moral implication. RH's staff has vocally supported
CentOS, and we contribute back to the RH community though bug
reporting, bug fixes, suggestions, patches, etc. We don't charge for
CentOS support, so we don't impact RH's business. Oracle on the other
hand DOES offer paid support, which impacts RH's business, and I don't
see any substantive attempts by oracle to give anything back to the
community at large.

Note, I have nothing against oracle nor do I work for RH, so this is
my own opinion, entirely speculative, and in rare cases incorrect.

[CentOS] Git: help sought

2010-01-23 Thread Timothy Murphy
I have a project using Git on machine A.
I'm running a Centos server on machine B.
I'd like to publish the project on machine B
(mainly for my own use, so I can access it from various sites).

I've asked about this on a Git mailing list,
but haven't understood the replies.
In particular, a couple of people suggested gitolite,
but when I examined this I couldn't make out what it did.

As will be obvious I am a Git newbie,
having been reared on SVN.
But I thought some CentOS users might have met this problem
and come to a simple solution.

Unless Oracle has changed their policy in the last two years or so,
the release cycle for critical patches (e.g., security fixes) is
_very_ different.

Quarterly for Oracle, days for CentOS.  Again, observations are from a

You can install CentOS4 guest using virt-install or virt-manager.

The problem you have with your custom-made guest is that you're not using 
a Xen PV kernel.

iirc it's called kernel-xenU in EL 4.8.

 Hi
 
 Just curious. What is the difference between the command above and find 
 numble -exec rm -f {} \; ?

The command find mumble -exec rm -f {} \; collects ALL of the names
find numble as a single command line, which in your case is too
large for the shell to deal with.  The command find mumble -print |
xargs rm uses a pipeline.  find mumble -print, *prints* the names
it finds to stdout.  xargs reads stdin, line by line, and collects those
lines as words up to some reasonable string length (within the shell's
command line length limits) and passes this argument list to xargs's
arguments.  If necessary, xargs will call the command repeatedly with
suitable subsets of the complete list, keeping each subset below the
shell's command line string length limit.

The '-exec ...' option to find is fine for small sets of results.  The 
find ... -print | xargs ... will handle arbitrarily large result
sets.  xargs can also be used anyplace you happen to have a list of
names (one per line) that you need to pass as words to a command:

tar tzf foo.tar.gz| xargs -r ls -d

Will list those files that are in the tar file that are also on disk.
The '-r' option to xargs will prevent xargs from calling ls with no
arguments, if xargs happens not to get any input.


 
 Thanks
 
 mg.

 You need a xenified kernel. I see you use the plus kernel. There might be 
 no xenified plus kernel.
 Anyway, what you have to do, if I remember right, is to mount the c4 
 partition in your c5, chroot to it and then install that xenified kernel 
 and a new initrd to it. Read the instructions about 4.5-only on the 
 wiki, that should get you going.

Yes, this got me going.  There were some other (minor) issues, but I
figured them out as well.  Thanks!

The rationale given at an Oracle presentation was that it reduces their support
costs while at the same time giving their customers a more stable platform. 
Consider the possibility that RH releases an update that breaks an Oracle
installation.  Someone running Oracle on RH ends up with a broken system and
finger pointing between RH and Oracle as to who caused the problem.  Someone
running OEL never sees the problem.

Given that most folks running OEL as their Oracle DB platform will have that
system well protected, locked down and not exposed to either internal or
external users.  Thus, security flaws that only relate to exposed systems become
less of an issue.  On the other hand, it means that OEL is only appropriate for
running an Oracle database server; not a web server, e-mail server, etc.

Cheers,
Dave

 Hi,

 I am a fail2ban user and i am very interested to have an autosent mail to the 
 ip provider of the brute force ip address.
 Do you know if it is possible with fail2ban or if we have to rewrite action 
 in fail2ban ?.

Unfortunately i use APF/BFD, and i forward all root mails to other

Re: [CentOS] Gmail problem

2010-01-23 Thread Nikita Izyumtsev
 Hi,all :


 There is gmail drive for windows
 platformhttp://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#where the person can
 access his gmail storage space as a drive.

 Do we have something similar on Linux?
  Means is there any software that will allow the person to 'mount' the gmail
 storage and say 'copy/paste' from his system to the gmail account?


 Thanks ~

I used to work with fuse-gmailfs, but currently I have switched to dropbox.
There is two disadwantages with it: first, it's quite untrivial task
to get it working under Centos, and second, it doesn't work anymore :)

From official fuse-gmailfs site (richard.jones.name):
Gmail Filesystem no longer works with the latest Gmail interface, and
will not be maintained in the future.

BTW, according to google EULA, it's illegal to use gmail it that way.
Gmail team could even disable you account.

I would suggest you to take a look at dropbox, which provides 2-5Gb
online storage with full desktop integration on lin/win/mac. At the
moment it's quite tricky to install in under CentOS, because it uses
python 2.5 (CentOS has python 2.4), but it's achievable:
http://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/CnetOS-KDE-Install . Fancy GUI
isn't working at the moment.

I'm currently backporting it to CentOS, and I would like to include it
in rpmforge (it's distributable). I estimate it in about one week.

I hope it'll be useful ...

 What happens if you run:

 pygrub /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02

 I suspect you don't have the required stuff (kernel, initrd and
 menu.lst/grub.conf) in your domU's /boot dir.

 Just curious. What is the difference between the command above and find

 The command find mumble -exec rm -f {} \; collects ALL of the names
 find numble as a single command line, which in your case is too
 large for the shell to deal with.

Gosh, then I guess the manpage for 'find' must be totally wrong where it
says:

-exec command ;

   The specified command is run once for each matched file.

My host uses Xen to virtualise 32-bit and 64-bit kernels on the same
Dom0. So it's certainly possible.
