VMWare hiccup on CentOS 5, 2.6.18-8.1.8
by Mark Hull-Richter 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

For reasons which escape me, my VMWare Server, which was working perfectly a week ago when I shut down my machine for vacation, no loner comes up with the formerly working Windows XP system - it just stays in the small window where it normally boots and does nothing. The vmware serverd log shows nothing particularly interesting, and I have reconfigured the vmware twice to try and fix this (which interestingly enough could not find the vmware modules for my os either time). I am running CentOS 5.0 with all the latest updates through this morning, plus a 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel with NTFS file system support compiled in as a module, and vmware server shows this: $ vmware -v /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) VMware Server 1.0.3 build-44356 (Not sure what that note about libpng12 means....) Here is the server log's tail: Jul 30 17:57:48: app| SP: Retrieved username: mhr Jul 30 17:57:54: app| Adding to list of running vms: /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:54: app| Attempting to launch vmx : /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:55: app| New connection on socket server-vmxvmdb from host localhost (ip address: local) , user: mhr Jul 30 17:57:55: app| Connection from : /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:55: app| Setting up autoDetect info.

Any suggestions or clues? This is the first glitch I've had with vmware server on CentOS 5. Thanks. mhr

Is there not a separate SMP kernel for multi-processor systems in CentOS-5? I don't see one in the repository.

Partnership with CentOS for commercial support
by 김정규 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Hello, My name is Jeongkyu Kim and I am working for Korea Linux Center, mid-size Korean company specialized in developing Linux server & desktop distributions from 2002. Our main focus of sales is public sector such as government agencies and public schools. Recently, we made a decision that further development of our server distribution will be based on CentOS. We believe that it would satisfy our customers with the more reliable solution. At the same time, we expect it would ease our development effort. As we prepare our new distribution, it was determined that partnership with CentOS is very crucial for our business. Our customers usually don't have technical person inside their organizations so that they want to be ensured by better chance of technical support. To make progress, I hope that someone in this list let me know who is the best person I can discuss with the way to make partnership and commitment we need to make. Best regards, Jeongkyu

Re: [CentOS] Ham Radio s/w and CentOS? {including Echolink}

I think there may be a Linux distribution for ham radio, but my memory is very weak on that. Search on distro watch and maybe check out the ARRL web site and google and yahoo. There is (or was) something for PSK31, I think it was called KPSK or something, that I looked into several years ago. Maybe it's on the KDE web site. I believe there is a Linux kernel option, to enable stuff for packet or something. I wish I could be of much more help on this but I'm inactive now. 73, Lanny HK5MDT

Reg:Checking HDD Badblocks on kickstart CentOS installation
by Balaji 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Hi All, Is there a way to check the harddisk health before CentOS installation.? One way I used to do was by using --badblocks check in ks.cfg file while using RH 7.2. This is not working (atleast not with the same syntax as in RH 7.2) in CentOS. Is there an alternate (correct) syntax or is there a new (better) way to check harddisk health before CentOS installation? Please help me and it is very urgent requirement for me --Regards S.Balaji

by Indunil Jayasooriya 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Hi All, I am running CentOS5 . Yum pkg was installed by deault fresh installation. pls see below for installed yum pkgs. [root@mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep yum yum-updatesd-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 yum-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 later, I installed below pkg for protection. yum-protectbase-1.0.4-2.el5.centos Now, everything works. But, in this vershion of yum, It has no crontab running. It has a file called /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf instaed. in this yum-updatesd.conf file, by default, below 3 lines were set to no # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no I changed it to yes. Pls see below for my yum-updatesd.conf file. [root@mailgw ~]# cat /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 3600 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = dbus # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = yes # automatically download updates do_download = yes # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = yes Then, I noticed it runs all the time. Is it proper? or is there any other way to run yum. Pls note that I need to download and install all the upfdates automaticallyas I have installed yum-protectbase. Help needed. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya
