I find this phrasing extremely difficult to understand. My understanding of this is: (...) and copy into this directory, under the name .config, one of two files: * Either the appropriate type of configuration file, taken from ./configs/: o For CentOS-5: base, xen, or PAE (if architecture is 32-bit) o For CentOS-4: base, smp, xenU, hugemem if architecture is 32-bit, largesmp if 64-bit. * Or, the currently running kernel's configuration file, taken from /boot/config-`uname -r` I have deployed this understanding unto my Spanish version: (...) y copie en este directorio, con el nombre .config, uno de dos archivos: * O bien el tipo apropiado de archivo de configuración del directorio ./configs/: o Para CentOS-5: base, xen, o PAE (si la arquitectura es de 32 bits). o Para CentOS-4: base, smp, xenU, hugemem si la arquitectura es de 32 bits, largesmp si es de 64 bits. * O bien el archivo de configuración del núcleo actualmente en ejecución, tomado de /boot/config/`uname -r`. Is my version technically OK? (English and/or Spanish). If so, I suggest clarifying the said paragraph. Hi Eduardo, My ability to use the Spanish language is considerably poorer than your use of English language -- the latter, for which I complement you. :-) Reviewing your comments, yes, I agree that the original English version is unwieldy and convoluted. I remember, when writing that section, musing to myself as to whether the added detail clouded the overall picture. Although no one else has mentioned it, I agree with your assessment that it requires some corrective work. Yes, your Spanish translation, reads fine and is a correct interpretation of the facts. I have now made a note to make a clarification, along the lines of your suggestion. Thank you for your input.

Re: [CentOS-es] AYUDA URGENTE-LINUX Y DOS
Tengo una situación algo similar a lo que indica, en nuestro caso la solución que hemos utilizado es la siguiente: - Habilitar en el W2K3 el servicio Terminal Server. Provisionalmente brinda acceso ilimitado durante n días (no recuerdo si 60 o 180) al servicio, luego de lo cual debera adquirir Licencias CAL (por usuario o por Servidor) - En el W2K3 Instalar la aplicaciòn SeamlessRDP (de Cendio) para hacer que las sesiones ejecuten directamente la aplicación DOS - En las pc con GNU/Linux instalar las aplicaciones rdesktop y TSClient. Con TSclient puede crear los enlaces simbolicos o Accesos Directos a la aplicación y con ayuda de SeamlessRDP Esto lo que va hacer es levantar en los clientes GNU/Linux una sesión desde el Servidor W2k3 con la aplicación en DOS y ejecutarla sin problemas ya que en realidad estara consumiendo recursos y herramientas del Servidor. Debe tener presente por tanto la cantidad de memoria disponible del Servidor y cuantos clientes van a acceder, asi como lo que mencione anteriormente acerca de las Licencias CAL Saludos ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es

Re: [CentOS] Forgetting network settings
So you're saying that your default gateway is an IP address that's part of a *different* network/subnet? I don't know how this network has been designed, but typically I would expect that your default gateway would be something like 188.72.255.1 rather than 217.20.117.1 that you've mentioned earlier.

Re: [CentOS] Forgetting network settings
Thanks rohan but our gateway on 24 ip block so i need to do it on way that i send , unortunately this wont work becuase that is a global ip adress and they can not set a gateway for each 255 block for ex. i have 5 more ip 2 of them is on 78.159.xx.xx block so i need to set default gw to 217.20.117.1 2010/3/29 Rohan Gilchrist ro...@gilchrist.me So you're saying that your default gateway is an IP address that's part of a *different* network/subnet? I don't know how this network has been designed, but typically I would expect that your default gateway would be something like 188.72.255.1 rather than 217.20.117.1 that you've mentioned earlier.

[CentOS] the T-bird update
Ok, new updates over the weekend. Just tested it on one server, with the result that I think there's a bug with the thunderbird package. As in, Updating : thunderbird 10/28 Could not parse file '/usr/share/applications/redhat-userpasswd.desktop': desktop entry does not have group 'Desktop Entry' So, someone's got their cases wrong, or they forgot to put an ignore case flag on.

[CentOS] AR 9.3+ vs. savable fill-in PDFs on CentOS
I've tried reporting this to Adobe, but they are remarkably deaf to such an enormous market of free software users. At least as of AR 9.3, including the latest 9.3.1, I have been unable to view or work with the savable fill-in PDFs that I've pulled off the web in the last couple of months. I have no trouble at all with them in my Windows virtual machine, but the Linux version starts up, displays the window/frame outline, then crashes and dies silently. Since Adobe doesn't provide any useful channel of communications for support to users of its free products, even though they are essentially ubiquitous and somewhat essential (for things like this), apparently their recent breakthrough in the area of supporting Linux systems does not include actually supporting Linux systems users. So, since I have made that enormous leap of logic, I wonder, is anyone else experiencing this problem? Yes, I know all about evince - use it most of the time, but it does not handle the fill-in PDFs or the ones where you can save the filled-in values. Any other options?

[CentOS] Image viewer refuses to print TIF graphics
I'm not sure if it's just the TIFs or if that related at all, since I have had some luck in printing these before, but recently the image viewer (eog - the Eye of GNOME, v 2.16.0.1) has responded to a print command on certain TIFs with nothing. Nothing shows up in the spool queue for the printer, and, although the printer (a Brother 2140 laser printer) heats up, it doesn't print anything at all. Now, this is better than it printing hundreds of pages with indecipherable gobbledygook on them, but I'd really prefer the image itself. Any ideas on what it might be? My standard solution is to use either tiff2pdf or Adobe Photoshop Elements (in my virtual WIndows box) to convert them to PDFs, which then print just fine, but that's a real annoyance - tiff2pdf routinely generates enormous PDF files, and it takes a while to bring the XP VM out of hibernation, log in, open APE and run the conversion.

[CentOS] VMWare vs. KVM - recommendations?
Okay, I'm being noisy today. I have VMWare Server 1.0.8 installed on my CentOS desktop, and it runs my XP and CentOS guests just fine, though I don't use them much. I'm considering moving to either VMWare Server 2.0 or switching to KVM instead, mainly because VMWS 1 is now obsolete and also because its limitations on video configurations is really annoying - I have a 22 1680x1050 LCD monitor, hoping to upgrade sometime in the not-too-distant future to a 23 or 24 display with full HD (1920x1080), but VMWS 1 does not support any wide-screen configurations at all. I tend to use on-screen real estate to maximum benefit, and the 1152x864 maximum useful size I have now is just too small for me, so I'm thinking maybe it's time to upgrade to something newer/better. I've seen some of the horror stories about problems with VMWare 2.0, which is not at all encouraging, and I've taken a look at the Red Hat Virtualization guides (the 5.4 one that's online in html only) and also a PDF version for 5.2 that I found somewhere, and it _looks_ complicated. (One of the main benefits of VMWare Server that I really liked was that it is fairly easy to use and relatively low maintenance, if it works, and 1.0.8 works just fine, except for the screen issue.) OTOH, the built-in nature of KVM is really appealing, and if it works as well as other features of CentOS/RH/Linux, it would be nice to be able to avoid the separate upgrade and re-build-the-drivers-vmware-config.pl annoyance every time a new kernel comes along. I'm a big fan of well-integrated software, especially in this area (virtualization). One question I had that overrides most other considerations is how to transfer my existing XP VM over to whichever new underlying system I choose - is that even possible, or do I have to go through all the reinstallation pain yet another time? If I have to go that route, I'll probably opt for kvm and take that plunge so I can do it once and never again (ok, that was not supposed to be funny... :-). Recommendations? Thanks, as always.

If your looking for something to act like vmware workstation, e.g. primarily for running a desktop OS on top of X11 then I would stick to vmware server 2. Or more ideally VMware workstation, it has a TON of desktop optimization thingies which may be useful if your running XP as a guest. I use vmware server 2 on a pair of debian systems(only use CentOS at work and there I only use ESX as my hypervisor), without any issues. The system I'm on now uses vmware server 2 to run another copy of debian to use as a VPN client to my company(the vpn software screws with the routing table).

One question I had that overrides most other considerations is how to transfer my existing XP VM over to whichever new underlying system I choose - is that even possible, or do I have to go through all the reinstallation pain yet another time? If I have to go that route, I'll probably opt for kvm and take that plunge so I can do it once and never again (ok, that was not supposed to be funny... :-). Recommendations? For simplicity and reliability I'd give virtualbox a try, especially if your talking limited # of machines and fancy displays. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] VMWare vs. KVM - recommendations?
MHR wrote: Okay, I'm being noisy today. I have VMWare Server 1.0.8 installed on my CentOS desktop, and it runs my XP and CentOS guests just fine, though I don't use them much. I'm considering moving to either VMWare Server 2.0 or switching to KVM instead, mainly because VMWS 1 is now obsolete and also because its limitations on video configurations is really annoying - I have a 22 1680x1050 LCD monitor, hoping to upgrade sometime in the not-too-distant future to a 23 or 24 display with full HD (1920x1080), but VMWS 1 does not support any wide-screen configurations at all. I tend to use on-screen real estate to maximum benefit, and the 1152x864 maximum useful size I have now is just too small for me, so I'm thinking maybe it's time to upgrade to something newer/better. If you don't use it often and mostly access it locally, consider VMware player instead of server. (You might need to install server to create new images). If you use VM guests a lot and have access to a windows box to run the control console, load ESXi on the hardware and run everything as guests. One question I had that overrides most other considerations is how to transfer my existing XP VM over to whichever new underlying system I choose - is that even possible, or do I have to go through all the reinstallation pain yet another time? The images are fairly portable. Just copy the directory containing the files. Or install something else to run them. ESXi is an exception because you don't have normal access to the filesystem - but the vCenter Converter is a free download and will convert about anything to anything else (I think you need windows for that too, but it could run under an existing VM if it can see the image files for the others). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] apcupsd, APC UPSs, and batteries, resolved
On 27 March 2010 04:47, m.r...@5-cent.us wrote: Well, here's the tale: we got a replacement kit for some APC SmartUPS 3000 - rackmount UPSs. The kit, costing about half of what APC is asking, is just the batteries, and you pull the tray out, open it up, and swap out the batteries. Except, I did this on one... and the replace battery light never went out. Not using apcupsd's apctest, not pushing the button. The five lights on the right that show power level went down to about one or two, and took an hour or two to come back up. apctest just said replace battery was the status. I put another set in. I swapped it with another UPS, and its lights went on, so it wasn't just that one. Also, these are just batteries, not chipped like an Epson inkjet print cartridge. I did the same on another a few weeks ago, and the same. Finally - I believe these had been replaced before - I went back online, and found the exact same ones. Got them in yesterday, replaced one that I'd replaced before, waited a couple hours, and pushed the test button. It thought about it, did the test, the power level only went down *one*... and the replace battery light went out. apcupsd also reports everything's wonderful. The ones that didn't do it were PowerSonic 1250 F2's. The ones that worked were BBHR5.8012. I *think* the difference is the HR. So, now I'll be going back to the original vendor, and asking for a replacement set - he doesn't seem to have BB, but if he can give me some other HR, I'll try that. The HR is high rate, which I assume means high rate of dis/charge. I'll let y'all know what happens, but at this time, my opinion is that if you see a replacement kit for RBC43's, make *SURE* that they're HR. It could be worse... Be very careful with third party kits, especially if the vendor is selling batteries not rated for high discharge rates or without any discharge rate information... Had one UPS that became ball shaped after having worked OK for 6 months with the replacements... Suffice it to say, the cost of a new UPS was more than the saving in buying cheaper batteries... d ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
