Sources for extras??
by Beartooth 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

With invaluable help here, I've just gotten 6.0 onto a PC. I went through the listings in PackageKit, removing things I know I'll never use; ran yum update; installed Opera; went to the epel, rpmfusion, and one whose name slips my mind (It's a new name.); enabled them all; and tried to get a lot of my regular apps : [....] Setting up Install Process No package dillo available. No package epiphany available. No package galeon available. No package midori available. No package privoxy available. No package seamonkey available. Error: Nothing to do [root@localhost ~]# Does this mean I have to go chugging all over the web, digging out one (hopefully not quite obsolete) rpm after another? Is there no easier way?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

How to preserve iptables when running the GUI tool ?
by Timothy Madden 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Hello I have set up NAT with iptables for an openvpn connection, so that the VPN server could give VPN clients access to the entire sub-net of the server. The probelm is if I start system-config-securitylevel to say disable the firewall, and then again to enable it, my iptable rules are gone ! I did run `service iptables save` before. Is there something I can do to prevent this ? Is there a gui interface to enable NAT over a VPN connection that cooperates with system-config-network ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

Booting C 6.0 from C 5.7
by Always Learning 06 Dec '11

I installed C 6.0 in an empty partition. It functioned. Despite using the usually successful methods of booting into another operating system from C 5.7, I can't get into C 6.0 Tried:- title C6-0 (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64) rootnoverify (hd0,6) chainloader +1 and root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=67c62872-0c69-451c-8412-3c218c0d2cb0 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=uk initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img My default works:- title CentOS 5.7 #6 (2.6.18-274.7.1.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=d6sys ramdisk_size=600000 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5.img and so does Ubuntu title Ubuntu 11.04 (chain) (2.6.38-8) rootnoverify (hd0,4) chainloader +1 but Centos 6.0 fails.

LPR to windows lpd question
by Tharun Kumar Allu 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi All, I am trying to print from a CentOS 5.3 server to a windows LPD service. After enabling the LPD service on Windows and creating a LPR port to a particular printer when I execute the following command on CentOS server I do not come out. lpr -H winprint:515 -P printer1 file.txt The above command does not exit. Do I need to configure anything on the server to be able to use lpr as a client ? Ultimately I want to use the above command to print to various printers based on different parameters. On a different note when I execute the same command on Fedora 14 I get Unknown as the error. Thanks Tharun

External HDD query
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Greetings, I have a USB external 2TB HDD with one NTFS partition which is to be used for backup up from about 5-8 workstations (all Win*) all are shut down when the office is closed I am playing around with Amanda server on Centos 5.7. (It is over 3 years since I last implemented Amanda for about 50 workstations mostly Fedora and couple of XP boxes -- it sang and danced quite nicely.) Now the issue I have is: 1. I want the External HDD to appear at another mountpoint than the /media/<HDDLabel> persistantly on the centos box.. 2. How do I ensure that amanda starts and completes its backup say between 0800hrs and 1900hrs. (/ducks -- I _know_ it is amanda related, I am crosing my fingers here) 3. Is Amanda really a good choice or an overkill in this scenario, given that this is a small s/w development shop where linux expertise is *not* available? 4. Is there an alternate simpler automatic network backup? (Bacula too seems overkill) 5. Amanda is in its 3.x avatar ("The most recent stable release is version 3.3.0"). Whereas Centos 5.x yum install yeilded (I dont know from where) amanda-server-2.5.0p2-8.el5 which -- as is usually expected -- a bit dated 6. The Windows client is 3.1.3. Will the ancient server and shining new client play nicely? 7. Is there a howto using rsync/rdiff given that Windows Scheduler is not exactly like our trusty, mature cron. The centos wiki on this matter is, well, a tad old. Surely the Centos server, which I introduced, in this shop is going to stay and will not go away. Of course RDIFF and other things are valid provided I have another Centos box. Any answers appreciated. TIA -- Regards, Rajagopal

Strangely slow disk
by Timothy Murphy 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

I have a 1.5TB Western Digital hard disk (WD15EADS-00R6B0) on my CentOS-5.7 server, which has become incredibly slow for some operations, eg rsync, BackupPC archive, e2fsck, although it seems to work fine for ordinary file operations, and "smartctl -a /dev/sdb" does not report any errors. For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition on this disk took over 24 hours to complete, as it did on another partition. I wonder if anyone can offer an explanation, or suggest a remedy? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

Centos 6x86_64: no hypervisor options were found for this connection
by Jason Pyeron 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

After following http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/ (because I found out that vmware server 2 does not work on centos 6) I go to the point where I tried to create a new VM in the virt-manager. At that point I get "no hypervisor options were found for this connection" in the manager but no entries in the logs in /var/log Googling tells me to check to make sure that the service is running, and it is. Where to check next? --Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

Abrt: kernel crash on boot -- but the system runs fine
by fred smith 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

using a fully up to date 6.0 (and the CR repo) on my eeepc 901, every time the system boots and log in,, almost immediately (sometimes a few seconds later) get a popup from abrt complaining of a crash in the kernel package. yet the system continues to run fine, as far as I can tell. Package: kernel Latest Crash: Sun 04 Dec 2011 04:08:15 PM Command: not_applicable Reason: WARNING: at /builddir/build/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32-131.17.1.el6/linux-2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.i686/arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h:993 read_measured_perf_ctrs+0x67/0x80 [acpi_cpufreq]() (Not tainted) Comment: None Bug Reports: My (somewhat vague) memory is that this started happening some time ago after a kernel update, and did not happen prior to that.
