Hello

See the man page https://linux.die.net/man/1/virt-install

In location you must pass only the ISO file, you are passing parameters 
that virt-install uses as file name as it warns you:


'/var/lib/libvirt/isos/ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso,kernel=casper/vmlinuz,initrd=casper/initrd'

That's the file is trying to open, and obviously, don't exists.

As Mauricio said you must be in the same network that the DSL modem:

Some considerations:

I assume this is an Ethernet one and not USB one, right?

Which IP are you trying to access?

What is the computer IP and netmask?

Did you tried to connect the MODEM directly to computer and set the IP
to DHCP? Then look the IP you got and the gateway ( ip address show |
grep -i "inet\ " **OR** ifconfig |grep -i "inet\ " ) and the default
gateway ( ip route show | grep -i default )

The "usual" would be you try to access the MODEM in your gateway
address, but may be other.

The maker and model of MODEM would be great

Good luck

Best!

Try adding the options:

_netdev: The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access 
(used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems 
until the network has been enabled on the system).


delay_connect: delay connection to server

So, change your fstab entry:

_netdev,delay_connect,nonempty,allow_other  0    2

This device has 1 FXO and 1 FXS port, you can connect 1 POTS and 1
Analog phone to it, they are "converted" to SIP and then you can manage
that from Asterisk. The same that an analog card but instead connect to

I'm trying to move this function to a Centos-based system without

My research found a driver (at www.linuxant.com), but it required that 
I recompile the driver.  I got absolutely lost trying to follow the 
directions which seemed to be steering me towards a custom Kernel.


So, my question to the group wisdom is:

- Is there any hope in trying to find a suitable driver for this 
device without building a custom kernel?  And if a custom "module" is 
needed, I might need help compiling it.


- Is there a inexpensive modem that Centos 7 supports with the needed

Hello

You can install an Asterisk with a "mini-gateway" like

Doing a 'ls -l' on the original file shows a '+' on the end of the file

I've had a quick Google and found that the '+' indicates a ACL has been

utilization is at about 77% (from NVIDIA server settings).


I have tried disabling the hardware acceleration (options->view) and 
OpenCL (options) but the problem and the high usage for Xorg and GPU 
persisted.


I have seen the the same bug (probably) was present in Fedora 23 
(libreoffice version 5.0.5.2-1.fc23.x86_64 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1308700)


Does anyone had the same problem and if yes what was the fix?
Does RedHat 7.3 has the same problem?
I have searched the bugzilla database and found only the Fedora bug.

Re: [CentOS] users unable to log into kde after 6.8 update

centos = 6.8 current

a new problem has developed after 1st updating of 6.8.

regular user is not able to open kde desktop, can open
gnome desktop.

root user can open either kde or gnome desktop.

as a user, when i try to open kde, after entering password,
screen goes to a solid blue, then shows a quick full screen

changes back to login prompt.

logged in as root, i created a second user, still have same
results as above.

searching thru 2+ years of local archives revealed nothing,
nor does web searching.

any advise, recommendation, suggestion appreciated.

Hello

If it works for root and not for users, it seems a permissions problem

I'd try:

chown -R username.username /home/username

Hope it helps

Hello

Never seen this but i'd try

yum repolist all

Lists the enabled repos?

Did you tried

yum clean all

Before the upgrade?

I think this happens in RHEL if you have no active suscription, but not

Completely agree on behind the times.  It says we have 261 available.
But wouldn't the security update procedure I put below still grab
security updates?  I may update our procedures to do full updates
rather than just security but it's not working as expected so crossing

Hello,

We are running CentOS 5.5 on a server that is not reporting any
security updates:
[root@server01 ~]# yum -y --security check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: bay.uchicago.edu
 * extras: bay.uchicago.edu
 * updates: mirror.nyi.net
Limiting package lists to security relevant ones
No packages needed, for security, 261 available

However, Nexpose, our vulnerability scanner detected otherwise. Upon
digging deeper, I noticed that we are on a kernel version that has a
known issue fixed in a later version:

[root@server01 ~]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.18-194.el5

Re: [CentOS] Missing Dependency

[Terry Hickey]

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I asked a simple question. If I did
not give enough or gave the the wrong information, a simple message to that
end would have been good. I don't have a bunch of letters behind my name. I
am almost entirely self taught. I started with Linux in 1995 on an old
slackware server a very knowledgeable man built for me and was my remote
lifeline for the first couple of years. Since then I have built and ran
probably 15 Internet servers ranging from old slackware stuff to Redhat. I
just retired my last Redhat 9 server a while ago. I currently have in
service Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS and a Cacti Monitoring server that I can't
remember the flavor of Linux they built it on. When I get a problem I don't
know what to do, I Google or go to one of my many bookmarked sites. Or, I
ask someone if all else fails.

So, I was designing a Web Site and one of the scripts didn't work. Looking
at the error logs and googling the error led me to determine my PHP needed
an upgrade and even listed a painless way to do it. However, it didn't work
because of a missing dependency. I had not found the answer about to how to
fix the dependency problem and, I had joined this list about a week ago. I
have been very impressed with the quality of most of the posts so I thought
I would ask here.

I am not really interested if the version of PHP came bundled with 4.8 or
not. It seems it didn't. I probably upgraded it to fix another error I was
getting. I thought I had given all the relative information with my first
question. Sorry for bothering you.

Hello Jose,

from the picture you provided the situation looks pretty simple.

- you have enabled IP forwarding on router, I recommend you to put it 
into /etc/sysctl.conf for persistence.


- you have configured firewall rules on router to allow forwarding 
traffic from left to right subnet. You can also try to set up ACCEPT 
policy just for testing.



- the default gateway for left subnet is 192.168.1.1 (you mentioned 
router for Internet access). Correct me if I'm wrong.


- the default gateway for right subnet I assume is 192.168.236.74. You 
don't have to do anything with routing here. Every host in right subnet 
knows where to send replies.



- the problem seems to be missing routing information in left subnet. 
Hosts don't know anything about the right subnet and thus send requests 
to the default gateway 192.168.1.1.


- modifying routing table on every host in left subnet can be solution 
in case, if there is only a few hosts which need to access right subnet


- if you need to have fully accessible subnets, put the static route to 
default gateway 192.168.1.1 to redirect requests to proper gateway. If 
it is Linux gateway, try something like this


[r...@default-gw]# ip route add 192.168.236.0/24 via 192.168.236.74

 This doesn't make much sense without a route.  Can you try a traceroute to 
 the
 fedora box address from the 192.168.236.80 box to see how/why it gets 
 there?

Hope it helps (all addresses are 192.168. Trimmed to compact the schema):

Router 1 is a PFSense and its IP is 192.168.1.1
Router 2 is "something" (it is managed by other person, and i think is 
somekind of win server) and IP is 192.168.236.21

Hello Again,

I forgot:
I made a mistake in my original post, the ping is to a diferent CentOS box in 
the 236. network (192.168.236.80) and it replies and i can access it from the 
Fedora machine in the 1. net.

Why the other CentOS box (in the 236. net) works (reply, can be accessed) 
without adding any route?

The Fedora box (1. network):

  inet addr:192.168.1.3  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Thank you Les,

Yes, i can ping/access those 'other' services from the CentOS box with 2 NICs.

I understand that i need, for example in a networked printer in 236. network a 
'return' route. I definitely have no access to configure network on every 
machine in the 236 network (only a few), nor the router...

This can't be solved any other way?

[CentOS] Routing issue between 2 LANs

[Jose Maria Terry Jimenez]

Hello All

First, sorry by my poor english, hope you understand me :-)

I have a problem, i don't understand or don't know how to solve

I need to interconnect 2 networks with different numbers. One is 
192.168.236.0/24 the other 192.168.1.0/24. Mainly i need to access services in 
the 236. from the 1. one.

I have a CentOS 5.5 machine with 2 nics each one configured to work in one of 
the nets. The CentOS also uses a router for Internet access that is 192.168.1.1.

192.168.1.0/24 >-192.168.1.100--[CentOS Machine]--192.168.236.74 < 
192.168.236.0/24

So, i enable forwarding in the CentOS box 

echo '1' > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

And in one machine of the 1. network (this is Fedora14) I add the route:

route add -net 192.168.236.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.100 dev eth0

Since this moment i can ping or access (ssh/http) another CentOS machine in the 
236 network
ping 192.168.236.74
PING 192.168.236.74 (192.168.236.74) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.236.74: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.281 ms

But can't access or ping other machines (NOT Linux ones), ie, printers, Win 
servers, etc...

Also tried adding: 
route add 192.168.1.100 eth0

before the route add -net, but no efect.

This fails even if i flush IPTables.

In the CentOS box that replies, i did nothing, it 'just' works.

Can anyone tell what is happening / help me with this?
Something to do missing in the CentOS router that joins the networks?

Exactly, without excluding those who have a shell of nologin the last
uid on my machine is nfsnobody(65534), I don't believe that a UID can be
greater than that.

You appear to have missed a step or configured the auth bits
incorrectly. The NX user is the user who authenticates via ssh, and
you authenticate via nx to the proper session. Go through the steps in
the wiki again carefully and double check the logs to see who you're
attempting to authenticate as. I'd bet you're trying to auth as your
user instead of as the nx user and since the wiki states that only the
nx user is authorized (via the AllowUsers nx statement) auth is
failing for that reason.

If your partitions are LVM then you could just migrate them from drive
to the other, exceptions of course would be /boot, non LVM swap.

You would then also have to install grub on the new disk.

I put a line in my dhcpd.conf file something like the following;

host rhel5ppc2.olysteel.com {fixed-address 192.168.0.53; hardware
ethernet ca:10:e0:00:40:03; next-server 192.168.1.137; filename
"ppc64.img"; update-static-leases on;}

You have to know the mac of the PXE client nic.  Maybe you shouldn't
have a pool in your config file either or a different pool of maybe 1
address for the nic you want to PXE boot.

Try adding acpi=force to the kernel boot parameters. This uses to work

Did you preserve your original /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file?
That would be a starting point.  After the machine is up, I have scripts

Hello

Well, the user can receive mail locally if another mails using his name 
in the host. ie if user_one does "mail user_two" then the user can write 
mail to "user_two" but i don't know how to prevent this. The users 
hasn't other kind of mailbox.

Do you mean this?

Remember i run from user's cron and i specify the shell, mailto, path... 
to be used there... I think it would work even if i set the shell to 
/bin/false to that user. Is this what you mean?

Best,
Jose Maria

You can workaround this by editing the credentials file and removing the 
tail LF with an hex editor as i posted early

Re: [CentOS] Problem mounting CIFS shares with credential file afterSAMBA update

[José María Terry Jiménez]

Hello

I've just solved this (because i remembered what happened last time)

The problem is that the credentials file must be being parsed 
incorrectly and any char after the password is passed as part of 
password (don't know if you understand me because my poor english).

What i did is editing the .credentials file with an hex editor and 
deleting everything after the last character in the password.

I've used ghex (yum install ghex) (ghex2 /path/to/.credentials)

You'll find anything before the last password character (in my case was 
0A (represented as a dot (.) ) in the ascii panel. Then goto the Ascii 
view (the right) and delete that dot, the (0A in hex becomes 0).

That worked for me and this is being mounted on reboot without problems.

Tell here if this worked for you.

Best

[CentOS] Problem mounting CIFS shares with credential file after SAMBA update

[José María Terry Jiménez]

Hello all,

This morning i updated my CentOS (5.4) and that included:

samba-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm
samba-client-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm
samba-common-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm
samba-swat-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm

I have several mounts if fstab using a .credentials file that worked 
until i rebooted with this updates.

I remember time ago was an issue with the format of credentials file 
(something about a LF at the end or something else)

I've checked the file, added spaces between "=", added a line at the 
end, between username and passwd... but it doesn't work, i always get an 
error like (when i do mount -a):
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

(this is repeated for every CIFS share mounted in fstab)

If i mount it "by hand" it works fine:
# mount -tcifs -ousername= //192.168.0.100/x /media/x
Password:

And then, if i do a mount -a then works! (until i reboot, of course)

# mount -a
#

Do anyone knows what is happening?

Best,
Jose Maria

Stay away from powerpath, use dm-multipath.  It will take some configuration,

It may also be of note that I've done this on two separate machines.  I
guess I'm a little puzzled by this.  It must be true that very few people
actually have to turn off kABI, or this would have come up before.  I know
that I can turn off ocfs in the .config and see if there is anything else
that does not build correctly.

No, I have not added any patches at all to the source.  I just modified the
.spec file and compiled with the --without kabichk option.  I also did not
have any trouble building the kernel as long as kabichk was enabled.

Did you get it to build with kabichk turned off?

I had gotten older packages to build as below, but 128.1.6 was giving
errors.  I can get the kernel to build with kabichk turned on with no real
problems.  Also here are the kernel packages I have installed (plus the
source of course.)

rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.18-92.el5
kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5

Yes, this one from my stderr capture:

[CentOS] Building a kernel without kabichk

[Terry Hull]

I¹m trying to build a 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel without kabichk.  I have
downloaded the sources, installed the compiler, etc and ran the following
command

rpmbuild  -bb --target=`uname -m`  --without kabichk --with baseonly
--without debug \
--without debuginfo kernel-2.6.spec.

I had modified the .SPEC file according to the WIKI page
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

I have NOT installed any patches that will break KABI, but I am wanting to
patch the kernel for SCST, and that will do it.  Currently, I¹m just trying
to get the beast to build.  I have been successful getting this to work on
older versions like 2.6.18-92.1.22, but I have not had success with
­128.1.6.  l. I have not worried about build errors at this point, because
I¹m hoping someone can say, ³Just do this, and all will be well.²

I am relatively new to CentOS / RedHat, but I do have a significant amount
of Linux experience building kernels.

I am now trying to see if I can get the kernel to build with kabi in place.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.

It would appear that wpa_supplicant has a new option (-u) to enable

Our issue isn't bandwidth.  Our issue is controlling which patches are

Hello,

I have been asked to come up with a strategy for centralized patch

   What is everyone else doing in this arena?

Anything that has the Zydas chip set just works so long as you've installed 
the firmware which I believe is available with v4x, 5x as an RPM

So what's the urgency?

Sounds like your system hasn't ever been up so it isn't down.

The archives for all the major distributions (RedHat, Fedora. CentOS, Ubuntu) 
have addressed your questions many times.  Not to mention that these 
distributions wikis and FAQs have address these issues as well

Your issues appear to be.

1) What images to download
2) How to burn these images to that they are bootable from windows
3) How to set the CMOS boot order so it boots from the CD or DVD media (once 
it's properly burned)

This is not an URGENT HELP issue this is a "I didn't research a thing and want 
to be led by the hand" issue.

Have you tried running system-config-display --reconfig?

The reconfig argument starts with a fresh config file and seems to detect the 
hardware better.

What's the best bet for getting vpnc on v5.1?

Compile from cource, DAG repo, other repo?

Compiled from source I can't seem to get a response from the target.
