[CentOS-docs] dual boot tips
Hi, Could a wiki page about tips and trix fro dual booting be of interest ? I can think of one part that is file systems and filesystem drivers, like ntfs driver for Linux and ext2/3 drivers for Windows. And another part is how to sync favorites, emails and such independently of OS (Im unshure if this is possible, but I know that Mozilla had something going a while back). /MatsK ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

[CentOS-virt] Xen with multiple virtual network interfaces with one bond
Hello all, I have been running xen for a while now with two interfaces: dummy0 for host only communication, and eth0 for the outside network. my script looks like this: (/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge-more) -- #! /bin/sh dir=$(dirname $0) $dir/network-bridge $@ vifnum=0 netdev=dummy0 bridge=xenbr0 $dir/network-bridge $@ vifnum=1 netdev=eth0 bridge=xenbr1 -- now i have a newer setup where eth0 and eth1 are bonded. If i change eth0 in the above script to bond0 it messes up the bond completely and stops working. I have use /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge-bonding, and that works, but then I can only have one virtual network for my domU I have tried this: -- #! /bin/sh dir=$(dirname $0) $dir/network-bridge $@ vifnum=0 netdev=dummy0 bridge=xenbr0 $dir/network-bridge-bonding $@ vifnum=1 netdev=bond0 bridge=xenbr1 -- but that also does not work. It also messes up my bond. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Coert ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

[CentOS-es] Problema Instalar UPS MGE Ellipse
Buenas a...@s... Llevo una par de meses con esto del Linux y poco a poco voy resolviendo los problemas a base de leer y probar. Estoy montando un servidor con 5 PC... todo bajo CentOS. 2 PC con el Linux Virtual Server y Piranha (piranha-gui) 2 PC con Apache (httpd) y un quinto equipo que es un NAS de la marca Qnap... para la base de datos. De momento poco a poco he ido resolviendo todos los problemas, pero hay uno que lo he dejado apartado a un lado para ver si más adelante lo soluciono. Se trata de la instalación de una UPS MGEops modelo Ellipse ASR 1000, conectada por USB. He instalado el software que suministra MGE. El equipo se me apaga correctamente en el momento que lo he configurado (a un porcentaje de la batería) , etc... El problema es que después de apagarse el equipo... NO SE APAGA LA UPS. La he probado bajo Windows XP y se apaga correctamente... por lo que la UPS está OK. Creo que el problema está en configurar las cuentas de usuario y los grupos... especialmente lo relacionado con el software, (que ahora no me acuerdo cómo se llama), que hace de pasarela entre el software de MGE y el sistema operativo (un módulo de control de UPS que no recuerdo ahora el nombre). Creo que el problema está en que algo falla en los permisos cuando se intenta dar la orden a la UPS de que se apague así misma después de un tiempo de haber iniciado el shutdown del PC. Si me pongo con ello, seguro que lo soluciono, pero me puede llevar varios días o un par de semanas y perdería mucho tiempo. Si alguien me puede orientar se lo agradezco de antemano. Ya he leído todo (lo poco ) que he encontrado por internet sobre la instalación de dicha UPS en CentOS y en Linux en general (apenas hay un par de manuales por ahí colgados), pero aparte de que tienen algunos pequeños fallos de sintaxis (los manuales), no explican muy algo que aún se escapa (para torpes como yo, claro) Espero noticias.

[CentOS] CentOS 4.7 hanging after logout
I'm running CentOS 4.7. I'm having the following problem: On logging out from a GNOME session (Actions - Log Out - Log Out), the computer simply hangs. The Caps Lock and Scroll lock keys on the keyboard are flashing. I can ping it from another computer, but services like VNC and Webmin won't work anymore. What should I do to troubleshoot the issue? Which log files should I check? It only started acting like this yesterday. The last thing I can remember doing that could've caused this is when I ran a yum upgrade and updated some packages at the same time. Mind you, I don't log out a lot though. I usually start it up, leave it on for a long time, shut down (sometimes), or start it up after recovering from a power interruption (sometimes). Thanks, gillbates Get your preferred Email name!

With java, you should be able to use the stock openjdk and tomcat5 packages (finally!) and be all set so it is a matter of dropping war files in the right place.

That might be sort-of a plus for python if you can live with whatever version yum needs and pay attention to what is going to break when it does version changes. That is the truth. I wish the enterprise distros would unbundle the LAMP stack from the core OS, it just moves too fast to include in a long-term support program. They should make it a separately maintained but compatible add-on feature set (make a separate repo of it), maybe with a stable and current version branch. I have always felt the distros include way too much in the core OS which could be better off in an extras or even contrib repo. Things like openoffice, firefox and the like don't need to be in the OS distribution, but available to install the latest stable version from the add-ons repo. Doesn't mean you can't include these on the media, sure, just as a separate repo on the media. It would be making, supporting and updating the core OS a magnitude less complex and would put the burden of making sure the LAMP or add- on packages are compatible with the core OS onto their respective maintainers or groups, but with proper notification and testing cycles it could be managed successfully. I also think there should be a single version of an OS that stays more current over time, not the bleeding edge but the stable edge. Instead of backporting kernel features, make small point jumps along the way, say from 2.6.18 to 2.6.20 when the latest is 2.6.26 and when the latest is 2.6.30 move to 2.6.24 and so on.

You need to do this. Yes, you need to restart/reboot it. then run these commands. (assumes your hostname is mail.example.com) if any of these do not jibe, more to do until you get it right. shell prompt uname -n mail.example.com shell prompt hostname -s mail shell prompt hostname -d example.com shell prompt hostname -f mail.example.com shell prompt hostname mail.example.com Lastly, you need to redo your certifercates for your computer since they (your openssh and maybe some others) are set up for the previous domain. In actual practice you may seldom see any issues with this, but the error messages will appear for some users trying to access different things Also, if you have stuff like logwatch or other system things going to a local mail make sure spamassassin or procmail rules are updated to deal with the change in localhost.localdomain so they are not junked. Always make sure the normal things you are used to are still happening or being received after you change the hostnamemany things can be affected, slightly or more, when doing it.

Re: [CentOS] Cyrus IMAP and ipurge
i too have a similar query i too need to delet messages older than 3 days . in my /etc/cyru.conf i have a entry like this delprune cmd=cyr_expire -E 3 at=0400 would this mean that the messages in( /var/spool/imap/a/users/abp/* ) older than 3 days get deleted ? It doesn't seem to (which you could ascertain if you see any messages older than 3 days in your mailbox). I have this option enabled too, so it must only expire messages (or folders) marked for expiry. But it clearly doesn't use the Expire option for mailboxes, because that sets an age separately.

Re: [CentOS] applying kernel patch
I am a newbie and do not know as much in detail abt packages. However, I noticed something strange while installing gcc.

Later, when I installed gcc the 'kernel-headers' packages was marked to be updated to 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 for dependency issues.

It doesn't seem to (which you could ascertain if you see any messages older than 3 days in your mailbox). I have this option enabled too, so it must only expire messages (or folders) marked for expiry. But it clearly doesn't use the Expire option for mailboxes, because that sets an age separately. So I'm still unsure how the pieces in this puzzle are designed to fit together. i was finally able to purge my old mail using ipurge ... su cyrus -c (/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ipurge -f -d 7 user.netserv ) i was trying to do it the wron way before !! . i written a script and added tp my cron to run every 3 times in a week ,!!

[CentOS] suggestions for installing CentOS 5 via USB?
I'm having problems installing CentOS via a USB drive.
First, I tried using Unetbootin, but with no avail. The 8MB netinstall
doesn't work, and the big DVD image doesn't work either.
http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
Then I tried this
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-centos-5-live-install-via-windows/
with a CentOS DVD file, and that did not work (just hangs). I tried to
use the live cd, but then found out that I cannot install the OS with
the live cd (like you can with Ubuntu).
I don't have easy access to Linux or spare computers, so I used my
Windows laptop to dd to the USB.
