CentOS-3, is this what I need?
by Prashant Saxena 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi, I am new to linux and so far I have only used ubuntu. I have developed a python application which I would like package and distribute. The problem with packaging tools such as pyinstaller and cx_freeze is that you have to compile the bootloader first. Now If I compile the loader on karmic 9.10, the binary would suffer from compatibility issue. In other words I won't be able to execute the app on a lower version such as ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS. The solution is to use as much as old libc as you can to compile the bootloader. It seems CentOS-3 is based on glibc 2.3, which is pretty old and if I compile and do other stuff of on CentOS-3, it'll do the job and hopefully covers almost all the end user base that I am expecting will use the app. It may possible that I might face some issues with my requirements mentioned below but I have no practical idea about them. As I mentioned before that I am new to linux and I always prefer to use VirtualBox, when ever I try any new distribution. In short these are my requirements and I would like to know whether CentOS-3 is the right choice for me or not? 1. Use VirtualBox. XP Host & CentOS-3 guest. 2. python 2.6.4 3. wxPython 2.8.10.1 from wxWidgets repository 4. libcairo 1.8.8 5. pycairo 1.8.6 6. couple of other python modules. Are these packages available or if not can be downloaded from other repositories? I am also concerned about my requirements that whether they themselves will suffer from binary dependency issue or not because I of using CentOS-3. Some one also suggested that you should also compile your requirements(python, wxpython etc.) along with the bootloader and this would make your package and underlying libraries backward compatible and lesser chance of any failure.

Amazon S3FS Automounter of sorts
by Matt Keating 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi, I¹ve just started using Amazon S3 for storage and have used s3fs to mount the buckets on the file system. 1. I was wondering if anyone has a better method even though this meets my current needs. 2. if there is an automounter that could be tweaked to work with s3fs. The entries in my fstab are rather different to the normal disk based ones, s3fs#BUCKETNAME /mnt/s3/BUCKETNAME fuse allow_other,default_acl=public-read,noauto 0 0 ,so I wasn¹t sure if it is possible. My reasoning to want an automounter is I¹m not sure on the amount of extra calls made to the S3, so would prefer it not be connected if its not needed.

how to debug pxe boot problems
by Rudi Ahlers 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi all, I'm trying to get a pxeboot server up and running, according to the instructions on the WIKI (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup & http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup/Menus) Here's my /tftpboot/pxepxelinux.cfg/default : default menu.c32 prompt 1 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT local MENU TITLE PXE Menu label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL ^Dos bootdisk kernel memdisk append initrd=images/622c.img LABEL CentOS 5 x86_64 MENU LABEL ^CentOS 5 x86_64 kernel images/centos/5/x86_64/vmlinuz append initrd=images/centos/5/x86_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=100000 ksdevice=eth0 ip=dhcp url --url http://192.168.2.250/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64 label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 noapic acpi=of Then, here's the layout for the CentOS 5 image: [root@intranet /]# ll /tftpboot/images/centos/5/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Apr 13 07:20 x86_64 -> /home/www/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64/ As you can see, I linked the folder to a Linux image on the hard drive. Apache then advertises that folder on the LAN as follows: http://192.168.2.250/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64 and I can browse the folders via Firefox. Yet when I bootup a PC in PXE mode, it doesn't actually load the CentOS image. I can see the PXE Menu and choose between "Dos Bootdisk", "CentOS 5 x86_64" and "linux" (which I setup as a test). When I load "Dos Bootdisk", I get an error: Loading memdisk.... Could not find ramdisk image:images/622c.img boot : So, it's reading the configuration, but not loading the CentOS boot image. /var/log/messages doesn't give my any errors on this (yes I know how to read /var/log/messages) Does anyone know how to get pxeboot to output debug messages to syslog? OR,what am I doing wrong? The tutorials I got on the net are rather vague on this. And please don't tell me to use Cobbler, I already tried that but no one one this lists supports it. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

How to log separate files or directories for centralizing SysLog server ?
by James Corteciano 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi All, I have three server. server0 is centralized logging server, server1 and server2 are remote client servers. How can I properly configure the syslog in server0 to log the two servers in different separated files/directories. Example, server1 will be logged at /var/log/syslog/server1.log of server0 and /var/log/syslog/server2.log for server2 as well. Is there need of little tweaking for syslog.conf ? Thanks. James

Installing a .ko file?
by Slack-Moehrle 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi All, I am trying to add a 3Ware 9500S-8 RAID controller to a CentOS 5.4 box. I have the drivers from 3Ware and they seem to be a .ko file (which I presume is like a .kext on OSX) How do I install these? Searched turn up people talking about Kernel panics with .ko's but I dont see anything that points to to installing one so I can use the card. Best, -Jason
