by Georghy 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Hi everyone, I recently install VMware on a server using PAE kernel everything was great until I use vmware server everytime i'm connecting to the vmware server web interface after few seconds, the client loose server connection (server shows a loading page) I can't access to my VM till I log on the server run /etc/init.d/vmware restart I try to connect to the server again but connection still fails I try /etc/init.d/vmware stop /etc/init.d/vmware start then it respond me : Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor [FAIL] Virtual machine communication interface [ OK ] VM communication interface socket family: [FAIL] Virtual ethernet [FAIL] Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ OK ] I retry /etc/init.d/vmware start VMware Server 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. I try /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl but it doesn't work until I reboot I do reboot but connection fails again and I have to do the same thing above. what should I do to make thing working. /All help greatly/ appreciated -- Cordialement, / Greetings, Georghy FUSCO

San boot failure after upgrade to latest
by Kwan Lowe 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hello All: Had an issue after upgrading to the latest CentOS kernel from kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 to kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 on an IBM HS21 blade with SAN boot. Upgrade went fine, but after rebooting the system was unable to find /boot even though it was mounted. The reboot displayed an error with fsck.ext3 that /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 was not found, which was the /boot volume. I reverted to the old kernel and it booted fine. At first I tried rebuilding the initrd to include the multipath modules, but this had no effect. I ended up just re-labeling all the ext3 filesystems and the changing the /boot line in fstab from the /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 device to LABEL=/boot. This resolved the issue. Any idea why the latest kernel did not see the /boot volume when specified as /dev/mapper/mpath0p1?

Hello listmates, Has anyone got any experience running Remote-Anything ( http://remote-anything.com/ ) under Linux as a client (i.e., connecting from a Linux box t oa Windows box with a view of controlling the latter)? Is it even possible? If the answer to this last question is "yes" how does one do that? Thanks in advance. Boris.

by Vadkan Jozsef 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Two pc's: 1 - router 2 - logger Situation: someone tries to bruteforce into a server, and the logger get's a log about it [e.g.: ssh login failed]. What's the best method to ban that ip [what is bruteforcig a server] what was logged on the logger? I need to ban the ip on the router pc. How can i send the bad ip to the router, to ban it? Just run a cronjob, and e.g.: scp the list of ip's from the logger to the router, then ban the ip from the list on the router pc? Or is there any "offical" method for this? I'm just asking for docs/howtos.. :\ to get started.. Thank you!

Any news on the latest aide package? Current version of aide on CentOS 5 is aide-0.13.1-4.el5. This version of aide produces the following message on /var/log/messages "aide: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application" when executed. Upstream already has released aide-0.13.1-6.el5 last January. I only see this version on the CentOS5 testing repo http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS/ regards, Ceejay Get your preferred Email name!

Image viewer refuses to print TIF graphics
by MHR 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

I'm not sure if it's just the TIFs or if that related at all, since I have had some luck in printing these before, but recently the image viewer (eog - the Eye of GNOME, v 2.16.0.1) has responded to a print command on certain TIFs with nothing. Nothing shows up in the spool queue for the printer, and, although the printer (a Brother 2140 laser printer) heats up, it doesn't print anything at all. Now, this is better than it printing hundreds of pages with indecipherable gobbledygook on them, but I'd really prefer the image itself. Any ideas on what it might be? My "standard" solution is to use either tiff2pdf or Adobe Photoshop Elements (in my virtual WIndows box) to convert them to PDFs, which then print just fine, but that's a real annoyance - tiff2pdf routinely generates enormous PDF files, and it takes a while to bring the XP VM out of hibernation, log in, open APE and run the conversion. Other alternatives welcome.... mhr

VMWare vs. KVM - recommendations?
by MHR 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Okay, I'm being noisy today. I have VMWare Server 1.0.8 installed on my CentOS desktop, and it runs my XP and CentOS guests just fine, though I don't use them much. I'm considering moving to either VMWare Server 2.0 or switching to KVM instead, mainly because VMWS 1 is now obsolete and also because its limitations on video configurations is really annoying - I have a 22" 1680x1050 LCD monitor, hoping to upgrade sometime in the not-too-distant future to a 23 or 24" display with full HD (1920x1080), but VMWS 1 does not support any wide-screen configurations at all. I tend to use on-screen real estate to maximum benefit, and the 1152x864 maximum useful size I have now is just too small for me, so I'm thinking maybe it's time to upgrade to something newer/better. I've seen some of the horror stories about problems with VMWare 2.0, which is not at all encouraging, and I've taken a look at the Red Hat Virtualization guides (the 5.4 one that's online in html only) and also a PDF version for 5.2 that I found somewhere, and it _looks_ complicated. (One of the main benefits of VMWare Server that I really liked was that it is fairly easy to use and relatively low maintenance, if it works, and 1.0.8 works just fine, except for the screen issue.) OTOH, the built-in nature of KVM is really appealing, and if it works as well as other features of CentOS/RH/Linux, it would be nice to be able to avoid the separate upgrade and re-build-the-drivers-vmware-config.pl annoyance every time a new kernel comes along. I'm a big fan of well-integrated software, especially in this area (virtualization). One question I had that overrides most other considerations is how to transfer my existing XP VM over to whichever new underlying system I choose - is that even possible, or do I have to go through all the reinstallation pain yet another time? If I have to go that route, I'll probably opt for kvm and take that plunge so I can do it once and never again (ok, that was not supposed to be funny... :-). Recommendations? Thanks, as always.
