Memory vs. Display Card
by Rick 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

Since memory has become quite cheap lately I decided to move from 2 GB to 6. When I installed the memory every thing was fine until I went to run level 5. At that point the screen turned to garbage and the system froze. Is there a way to fix this so I can use the memory I bought? Do I need a new display card?

Lingering dhclient issue
by Alfred von Campe 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

I recently reconfigured some CentOS 4.3 systems that were using DHCP to use static IP addresses. At the same time, the systems were moved to a new VLAN. Here is the approximate sequence of events that took place: 1. ifdown eth0 2. edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with static IP address 3. wait for network folks to reconfigure switch 4. ifup eth0 I may have reversed steps 1 and 2 on some of the systems. The problem was that the dhclient process didn't go away, and kept renewing the old lease. Our DHCP server is configured to contact the DNS server and update the entry for each host it serves. So the DNS entries for these systems were pointing to the old address in the old VLAN. The eth0 interface itself just kept the static IP address for which it was configured. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. My question is, what could I have done to avoid this (other than killing the dhclient process)? Is there a better way to reconfigure an interface to use a static address? I am not interested in solutions that involve using a GUI (i.e., only command line solutions). Thanks, Alfred

In CentOS 4.1/2, what package contains this library: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3? I installed a couple of the compat- packages, but this library is still missing.

Don't forget to use torrents for your downloads!
by William L. Maltby 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

For those who may forget, usin torrents to download and share the new images will get you faster downloads (if enough folks participate) if you have a "fat" pipe and alleviate the load on the CentOS servers. I have a "chubby" pipe (~ 1.2MB/sec) and got the stuff really quickly earlier today. If your torrent has distributed hash table capability, I suggest that you also use that feature. Happy sharing! -- Bill

stock openjdk vs. epel
by Les Mikesell 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

If you have the epel repo installed and enabled during a yum update, you get java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.0.b12.el5.2 instead of the stock .b09 version. Is this intentional and desirable? I thought epel generally did not replace stock components with newer versions. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

problem installing CentOS 5.3
by Buz Davis 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

First, let me apologize to Akemi Yagi for my delay in answering his last query. After failing with 4.8 I realized that I had at least one and possibly two computers capable of handling 5.3 (one was newly purchased second-hand and had many unknowns about it. The other was well documented but its power was obscured by a thick layer of Windows XP). To answer Akemi's last questions, yes, I am sure that the disks were all 4.8. I checked with md5sum before burning the cds and am not sure how to check further than that. I never got past using the first (modified) disk that I downloaded from the url you gave me, because anaconda failed to find a file - having to do with GNOME, so the process aborted. Again I apologize for delaying my response, but I have been occupied again with 5.3, but on the newer computers. 5.3 installed easily and correctly on the first machine (celeron, 1.2Ghz, 512M ram, 80G disk). With the second machine I am getting consistent failure to load X, despite many attempts that appeared to be good installs. For the last attempt I had about 160G of disk available, over 800M of ran, and (as reported by the BIOS, a pentium 3 processor. Unfortunately a remaining big unknown for that system is the Mhz rating for the processor. When I got it, with a broken XP system on it, it was set at 550Mhz. The BIOS allows three choices: 366, 500, and 7xx (I don't remember the last value precisely, but the system wont boot at all, so it's moot). I have mainly messed with the 550 setting, but have occasionally tried at 360. It doesn't seem to make a difference. On that system the output of uname -a gives 2.6.18-128.3l5 for the kernel, and "i686 i686 i386" at the end. Free shows 905240 total and 231688 used. Console mouse services work. When I attempt to load X I get the hollow-x cursor, then the black screen with the nautilus window and then white bars at top and bottom, along with an arrow cursor. The white bars get populated with some icons and then comes the blue screen with the doily-like design, but at that point the system appears to be hung. The computer, home, and trash icons do not appear on the desktop, nor does a mouse-pointer, and wiggling the mouse does nothing. I have compared the /var/log/Xorg.0.log files from the two machines (one that works, one that doesn't), and they both end in the same place: <snip> (--) <default pointer>: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2" (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded <eof> I would appreciate any help in getting X to work on this second computer Thanks, Buz Davis

relatime in plus kernel
by Yuji Tsuchimoto 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Dear CentOS lovers, Is someone interested in the linux-2.6-smarter-relatime.patch for centosplus kernel? This patch solves disk I/O performance dramatically on servers, And recent distributions (fedora9 and later, etc.) and official kernel applies it. RHEL6 may include it, but RHEL5 is not. How about the linux-2.6-smarter-relatime.patch? Best Regards, Yuji

using CentOS as an iSCSI server?
by Rudi Ahlers 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Has anyone succesfully setup, and used CentOS as an iSCSI server? I'm trying to setup a server with 4x500GB HDD's, setup in RAID 10 to act as an iSCSI server for a virtualization project, but I can't find a decent howto on how to setup an iSCSI server using CentOS. I would like to setup something like Openfiler, but we also need todo some other stuff that OpenFiler doesn't support, so I would prefer to export some of the HDD space (about 500GB) as iSCSI LUN's -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
