Need a little card file database app
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I have gobs of notes of tips I have learned here and elsewhere. many of them are in text files, some are in Freemind. I was thinking I need some sort of card file system that can be searched on a couple of keywords like: Centos TightVNC fonts And what it takes to setup the sym links to get TightVNC running in Centos.... So anyone wish to share their favorite tidbit recording tool?

GRUB Timeout problem
by Mark Snyder 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I recently installed CentOS 5.1 on a DL71 ASI notebook. After my yum update the timeout parameter in /boot/grub/grub.conf file has no effect. It sits at the grub screen forever unless I press the enter key to select a kernel, at which point it will boot. Any help or suggestions to fix this would be much appreciated CentOS release 5.2 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 on an i686 # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.18.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.img title CentOS (2.6.18-53.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img ~ ~ "grub.conf" 21L, 725C Mark Snyder JMK Computerized TDIS 703 S Glover Ave. Urbana, IL 61802 (217)384-8891

Stop the FUD Xen is not deprecated
by Vandaman 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Do people have wet underwear for nothing over XEN? See http://www.redhat.com/promo/qumranet/ <snip> Q: Will Red Hat continue to support and contribute to Xen? A: Yes. Red Hat will support Xen until at least 2014 (seven years after the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). We are committed to insulating our customers from changes in the infrastructure components and this is why we created an open virtualization management standard (the Libvirt API). This standard is provided in Red Hat products and has been adopted by a number of other vendors (Sun, Novell, Ubuntu, etc.). It allows customers and ISVs to build virtualization management applications, processes and configurations based on a stable API, independent of the underlying virtualization technology. Red Hat continues to be an active member of the Xen development community and is currently working on further integration work between the Xen hypervisor and the Linux kernel. </snip> As far as CentOS is concerned saying Xen is deprecated is jumping the gun. CentOS ships with Xen and as long as upstream supports it, CentOS by extension supports it. Regards, Vandaman.

Is anyone using Review Board on CentOS 5?
by Alfred von Campe 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I'm trying to install Review Board (http://review-board.org) with python-setup tools and "sudo easy_install ReviewBoard", but this fails as follows: easy_install ReviewBoard Searching for ReviewBoard Best match: ReviewBoard 0.9.dev-20081202 Processing ReviewBoard-0.9.dev_20081202-py2.4.egg ReviewBoard 0.9.dev-20081202 is already the active version in easy- install.pth Installing rb-site script to /usr/bin Using /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ReviewBoard-0.9.dev_20081202- py2.4.egg Processing dependencies for ReviewBoard Searching for PIL Reading http://www.review-board.org/downloads/mirror/ Reading http://www.review-board.org/downloads/nightlies/ Best match: PIL 1.1.6 Downloading http://www.review-board.org/downloads/mirror/ PIL-1.1.6.tar.gz Processing PIL-1.1.6.tar.gz Running PIL-1.1.6/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install- t4JHIx/PIL-1.1.6/egg-dist-tmp-t3asKn The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c7) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first. (Currently using setuptools 0.6c5 (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages)) error: Setup script exited with 2 Unfortunately, the python-setuptools for CentOS 5 is version 0.6c5-2. I already have python-imaging-1.1.5-5 installed, but the configuration is trying to install PIL 1.1.6. I've never used easy_install/python-setuptools before (I'd never heard of it until I read the installation instructions for Review Board), so I don't know if it's possible to modify the configuration files to use PIL 1.1.5. Or if there is another/better way to install Review Board. So before I re-invent the wheel, has anyone else successfully installed Review Board on CentOS 5 and is willing to share their experience? Thanks, Alfred

Is this possible? Can somone steer > me into a direction where I can get more info on this? I've done some similar types of setups: 1) The first setup included two physical machines running separate Xen VMs with the critical data on a DRBD store: Setup was quite easy using docs for DRBD and HA on the HowtoForge site. No difference in using the Xen environment except that I used a second NIC instead of a serial cable. Works great for a webserver. I was also running the CentOS directory server with this setup until I got replication working. 2) Second setup was to place the heartbeat on the physical machines. On failure, it would autostart the Xen VM. It worked, but was a PITA to get right. The reason to do this was to only use resources when the machine failed, rather than allocating the 1G constantly. I'm currently trying to get live VM migration running under Xen.

Help on deleting partitions
by Mário Gamito 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hi, I have this dual boot Vista-CentOS. I have one NTFS for Vista, and three for CentOS. I boot to both OS through grub. Unfortunately, I'm going to need the CentOS space for Vista :( :( :( So my question is: if I remove the CentOS partitions *from within Vista* with its tool for it, will I be able to still boot Vista ? Is grub going to disappear ? If so, will Vista replace it for its own boot manager, thus allowing to boot it ? Or what ? I've googled about it, but couldn't find a definitive answer and I can't afford losing my Vista data. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário

Bonding and network cards
by David Hrbáč 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hi, I have been playing this weekend with bonding on PCI netcards and found that all of netcards I have, but old 3com, do not support MII. So bonding is not going to happen with them. Do you have some pci netcards supporting MII successfully running on bonging? Thanks, David Hrbáč
