[CentOS] CentOS on ARM7 (eg Raspberry Pi)
I saw in the anouncement for the upcoming Boston, MA conference that there will be demos of CentOS on an ARM7 system. I am wondering: does this mean that there is somewhere out there a build of some version of CentOS that might run on a Raspberry Pi (which has an ARM7 processor)? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software-- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] OT: default password for HP printer
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=officejet+8620+manual I concur - I don't believe there is a password on the EWS. You should be able to print out the network settings from the LCD control panel, which will be 2 or 3 pages and includes info you need like MAC address[es], default and user-set passwords, IP address[es], et cetera. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

En el primer caso si un disco se cae (en RAD1) no deberías tener problemas, todo debe seguir funcionando, salvo que se caigan los dos discos o lo que se haya malogrado es tu controladora de RAID. En el segundo caso si un disco se cae pues apagas el servidor, desconectas el disco malo y vuelves a encender el equipo, debería levantar el otro disco sin problemas solo con un warning de que el raid está funcionando con un solo disco.

[CentOS] Recording piano and voice
The last time I wanted to record a voice announcement on my computer was a few years back, and as I recall I hooked up my Microsoft Lifechat headset and used Audacity to do the recording. Now I want to record a recitation, which consists of me playing my piano and talking over it. I have a Casio CDP-230 digital piano but I've never tried hooking it up to my computer and making a recording. It does have a USB midi port on it, but I've never used it. Has anyone else done something like this?

I have a Casio CDP-230 digital piano but I've never tried hooking it up to my computer and making a recording. It does have a USB midi port on it, but I've never used it. Has anyone else done something like this? I'm wondering what the easiest way to simultaneously record from a microphone and a digital piano would be. not having done it either, I nevertheless have a thought... Still use Audacity, just make a separate track for the voice, then you can mix it down to however many tracks you want. that way you can redo the voice if you mess up, or re-mix if you don't like the levels. that's hard to do if you record it all into the same (set of) track(s). I'd assume your piano also has an audio output, so you could plug it into a computer's line input and record from that. I'd further assume you'd prefer a real piano sound over midi. but I might be wrong there.

Re: [CentOS] Nagios, getting started
On 6/22/2015 6:04 AM, Rob Kampen wrote: What advantages does the RH/CentOS world have (if any?) over the ubuntu LTS world? I can't think of any compelling reason to run Nagios on RHEL/CentOS if the rest of your shop is Ubuntu. If everyone there is familiar with Ubuntu, it'll be easier for them to troubleshoot a problem if they don't have to learn a new package manager at the same time. If a vm is okay, what kind of RAM does it need? A VM is fine. I have Nagios monitoring 1,800 hosts and 17,000 services on a VM with 3 CPUs, 4GB of memory, and 20GB of storage. Whatever you do, set up MRTG graphing so you know how well Nagios is performing (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/mrtggraphs.html) on your monitoring host. If you have many hosts and services to monitor, look in to the large installation tweaks and other advice in the tuning guide (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/tuning.html). Also, Nagios causes constant disk activity temporarily storing and processing check results, so you can use a RAM disk to speed that up. I see epel has nagios 3.5.1 with a date of 2013 for CentOS7 along with plugins, is this the version folk use? - as the latest from nagios is 4.0.8 I still use 3.5.1. There was a compatibility break in 4.0 with Check_MK, an addition that's too valuable to lose. It's since been resolved, I think, but I haven't gotten around to upgrading yet. I will probably put it all together on a new CentOS 7 VM for maximum fun. I am under orders to use packages and not compile, a viewpoint I endorse. Are there other repos folk use? I use the distro package manager to manage Nagios' dependencies, but I compile Nagios myself for maximum control. It's really not that hard. What I would like to do next is get the best of both worlds and learn how to make my own Nagios RPM. What about front ends, visualization etc.? I use Check_MK. It can replace Nagios' own configuration files, but I only use that part for several Linux hosts. However, the LiveStatus pages is a Swiss Army knife compared to the stock Nagios pages (which are still available). And it's FAST. I don't use any Nagios-specific add-ons for Nagios' config files. However, since they are still just text files, I use a programmer's text editor (SciTE), version control (git), and rsync to move config files from the dev Nagios host to the production Nagios host to the DR Nagios host. Both Check_MK's LiveStatus pages and SciTE understand regex searches. Unfortunately, they use different syntaxes, but once you get the hang of them they're invaluable. Any comments about FAN? I don't know anything about FAN or any other Nagios configuration tools, but the moment you have to do something creative with your monitoring system will probably be the same moment you figure out it's not something automatic tools were programmed to cope with. Might as well get comfy with the config files from the start. -- -Chris ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] OT Advantage of running DNS server?
What is the advantage, if any, of running one's own DNS server? Surely the link between domain name and IP address must already have been established? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS at the 2015 Red Hat Summit
All, The CentOS Project will be at the 2015 Red Hat Summit in Boston, MA, USA (23 to 26 June 2015). Currently scheduled to be there from the CentOS Project team ... Karanbir Singh (Project Leader), Karsten Wade (Board Member, Red Hat Liaison, Docs Leader, CentOS GSoC Leader), Brian Stinson (CentPKG, Community Build System), and Johnny Hughes (Board Member, Release Manager). We will have a booth in the Community Central area of the summit and have some demos of CentOS on ARMv7 (32-bit), ARMv8 (64-bit), i686 (32-bit) devices as well as other presentations of Cloud and Docker images on CentOS. We will also have lots of SWAG to give away. See ya there!

Someone has to run it, there is no other way to 'establish' it. Like any service (such as web services, mail, cloud), the choice of whether to host it yourself or pay someone else to host it really boils down to what you use it for. If you only have a small handful of domain names that rarely update, don't bother. If you have a dynamic, complex infrastructure, it might make sense. -- Jonathan Billings billi...@negate.org ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] OT Advantage of running DNS server?
I suppose a lot of it depends on your needs. For us, we run internal DNS servers for all the VMs we have running; mostly for software development and monitoring. It makes sense for us to do so as we have mostly Macs (and my Linux workstation) that work better using DNS. Had we been a mostly Windows shop, we'd likely use NetBIOS internally with some Dynamic DNS for win clients. We also have external DNS servers for our cloud based servers, web servers primarily. We could have stuck with Network Solutions (our Domain Registrar) for DNS, but we have a LOT of domains across the globe and we prefer handling them ourselves. Management can be a bit of a headache at time, but it's worth it, IMHO.

Hi, about which scenario are you talking? You have an authoritative DNS server in mind, or a recursive DNS server, or a caching only nameserver? Different kind of setups for different purposes.
