One suggestion -- when I deployed the ks-minimalC6.cfg, there were still some -firmware packages that got installed and were not removed by the kickstart process. I noticed that you explicitly remove various firmware packages by name with the '-' notation. Another approach would be to remove them all programmatically in a %post section, like this: %post rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep -i \\-firmware | grep -v kernel-firmware) And by the way, the above can rewritten in a shorter form: rpm -e $( rpm -qa \*firmware | grep -v kernel) rpm -qa will enumerate all packages but in fact you want only the firmware ones. So you run an useless grep to filter them when in fact rpm can do that for you in the first place. ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Re: [CentOS-virt] Suggestions to improve this minimal kickstart config for CentOS 6?
As of ks file size: who cares ? You create it once and use it as many times as needed. An extra dozen or hundreds of bytes / couple of lines are not significant in this context That wasn't my point :-) I guess I could have said simpler rather than smaller to make my point clearer. The less stuff that has to be manually specified in the file, the less work needed from a maintenance point of view. Also, it's simpler from a conceptual standpoint to see what's happening. Ah, I am sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes, you are absolutely correct: the smaller the number of directives in the file, the simpler to maintain. ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

Since the machines will be running pretty much only iptables, conntrackd and keepalived there is not going to be a lot of disk activity going on and the plan is to do all the logging on a remote machine which should reduce the write activity on the sticks to almost zero during normal operation. I've already created a fairly minimal kickstart for such an installation but I'm wondering if there are any opinions out there on whether this is a feasible approach or if there are any gotchas I'm not aware of.

Re: [CentOS] centos6 not using /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Those options are no longer supported in GDM. I think that they were removed with GDM 2.24 (at the latest, probably 2.22) and C6 is running GDM 2.30. That is unfortunate... I suppose I will just have to ignore this issue then. in /etc/gdm/custom.conf to override the -nolisten tcp but I have no idea about -br -audit 4 -s 15. Thanks for your help.

Re: [CentOS] centos6 not using /etc/gdm/custom.conf
In later Fedora releases, GDM has become less and less functional: configurability has been removed, more so as releases occur. From my (known to be flaky) memory, that includes the ability to turn off the silly list that exposes usernames right on the login screen, the ability to assign your own wallpaper to the login screen, among other things. Using gdm is getting harder and harder but you can try: gconftool-2 --direct \ --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \ --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true There are many features available via gconftool-2 or gconf-editor only.

[CentOS] CentOS 6.0 chkconfig strange behavior
Hi, I'm noticing some strangeness with chkconfig on CentOS 6.0 and was looking for a bit of advice. It appears that chkconfig is re sequencing or re ordering the start priority of various services when turning on a service using chkconfig. Example is the network service. Under normal circumstances network is set to start at S10. However when I add something like snmpd and invoke chkconfig snmpd on it will change network to S81. Which fouls up some of my other services that look for config files on NFS shares. Testing this issue with the snmpd service I removed $network from Required-Start which did nothing. The only solution I've found is to remove the entire BEGIN INIT INFO to END INIT INFO section. Once that is removed it no longer changes the network startup priority when enabling the snmpd service. Seems to me that you'd want network started before snmpd. So why chkconfig wants to re arrange it to start after snmpd which defaults to S50 is beyond me. So why would it do that? Did I miss some documentation or something? :-) Thanks in advance for any assistance! --Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thanks for the assist guys! Hold onto your hat Jerry... Upstart has already been replace by systemd in Fedora 15 and most other major distros are planning to use it too. RHEL 7 will most likely switch to systemd if it stays in Fedora. If it does everything planned you may even see it in a 6.x point release. This after only about a year in distribution.

Re: [CentOS] nouveau driver one centos 6
Hi, Jerry Try appending 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to the kernel line in grub.conf (and keep the blackist in modules.conf) - install CentOS and reboot as usual - preempt booting at the grub menu and append 'rdblacklist=nouveau 3' to the kernel line to disable nouveau and start up in init 3 - install the Nvidia binary driver. Optionally, do a yum upgrade, reboot back to init 3 and build the driver on the latest kernel - edit grub.conf and remove the '3' and reboot again Nouveau will now stop loading and use your nvidia driver cheers, - cal On 21/07/11 13:08, Jerry Geis wrote: I wish to not load the or even install the nouveau driver by default.

However, provisioning ext4 file systems with the anaconda installer is not supported, and ext4 file systems need to be provisioned manually after the installation.

It sounds like some dependencies are missing. In particular, do your other services depend on $network, either directly or transitively? You might also want to experiment with 'chkconfig XX reset'. Devin Hey Devin, I'm feeling a little silly now and I swear I checked for this but you hit the nail on the head. Turns out I had pushed a service that was dependent on network further down the list so whenever I enabled snmpd in chkconfig it would re order network below the other dependent service.
