directory permissions
by Carlos Santana 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi, I have changed directory ownership permissions recursively such that it is owned by username:groupname , where groupname is not the default group, i.e., username. However, when a user creates a new file the default permissions are again username:username. How can I give ownership permissions on a particular directory so that any files created in that directory will always have specifc username:groupname permissions? Also is there any option that would allow only owner to delete files, even though group has rwx permissions? Thanks, CS.

by Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hello We are organizing a trip to Brussels for Fosdem in February starting from London. FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Development European Meeting) is a European event centered around Free and Open Source software development. It is aimed at developers and all interested in the Free and Open Source news in the world. Its goals are to enable developers to meet and to promote the awareness and use of free and open source software. It is said to be the biggest gathering of Open Source interested people in Europe and the speaker list is quite impressive. We will be leaving London on Friday (5. Feb) evening and returning on Sunday (7. Feb). One of our goals is it to keep the total cost for the weekend under 200 Pounds, which is quite cheep for a weekend in Brussels. People who are interested can look at the wiki [1] or drop me a mail. Everyone is welcome.

KVM management tools.....
by Tom Bishop 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Looking at what my best options for managing KVM via a gui. Running Centos 5.4 and have several machines and want to migrate off of vmware server 2.x. So far it appears that the management tools haven't quite cought up to Vmware but are gaining and closing. I have been looking at convirt, and others. I like what I see in Ovirt but I'm not sure it is available for centos 5.4, or is it? Is there anyone running ovirt in centos? Also, what are folks using for their management tools for KVM, Thanks.....

Strange problem updating machine
by Marcelo M. Garcia 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi Today I updated one machine with CentOS-5.4 (2.6.18-164.6.1.el5) x86_64 (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5450 @ 3.00GHz) to "2.6.18-164.10.1.el5", but in some places, like /boot[1] and in the menu /boot/grub/menu.lst[2], appeared as 2.6.18-164.1.10 - the "1" and the "10" swapped. Did anybody else had similar problems? The update worked fine in i686 workstation and x86_64 xen kernels. Thanks Marcelo [1] config-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 initrd-2.6.18-128.10.1.el5.img vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 System.map-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 [2] title CentOS (2.6.18-128.1.10.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.img

Vmware server 2.0.2 and Centos 5.4
by Tom Bishop 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

I know of the issue using vmware server 2.0.2 and centos 5.4, but is their any reason not to use the .rpm install of for centos? I have always used the .tar file but this time used the rpm and it appeared to install and not crash. I went ahead and did the glib correction but I was wondering if using the rpm was not the rght thing to do, Thanks.

digikam and mp3 sound on RHEL
by Kevin Kempter 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi All; after years of running free Linux distros I've finally come to a place where I must have solid stability for my work laptop so I've purchased RHEL Workstation. I like it well enough - however I'd like to install digikam and get my system to play mp3's. I'm thinking I could get both of these from a centos repository. What do you'all think? If so, could someone point me to the correct repo(s) and the packages I'd need for playing mp3's? Thanks in advance

VMWare server 2
by attila.mathe＠orange-ftgroup.com 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi All, I have installed VMWare 2.0.2-203138_x64 on a CentOS 5.4 x64. Everything appears to work fine. I can create the virtual machine but when I power it on the whole vmware web access is unreachable on default port 8222/8333. [root@Panda]# uname -a Linux Panda 2.6.18-164.10.1.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jan 7 19:54:26 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Does anybody know if there is a compatibility problem with the new kernel 2.6.180164.10.1 ? [root@Panda vmware-server-distrib]# /usr/bin/vmware @@PRODUCT_NAME@@ is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so have you found a fix?
