When I first booted with the previous kernel I looked at /var/log/messages and didn't see anything useful. Today, I selected the previous kernel from the grub screen and looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. The date in the file was today, so that was from the current boot, not from the time it failed to give the login screen. I edited inittab to default to runlevel 3. I got the runlevel 3 login prompt, did startx, and the GUI came up. I restored the runlevel 5 default in inittab and rebooted letting the new kernel get selected by default. The login screen came up. It must have had something to do with the initialization of X on the first boot under 5.6. Your suggestions helped. Thanks. Stan Klein

audio recorder compatibility
by ken 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

I'm shopping for a small/tiny audio recorder, the kind for recording in a class, interviews, etc... not really music, just voice. Per usual, a lot of these write their audio files in some Windows format, e.g., WMA. As a confirmed Linux guy, I'd want to offload the audio files in some format that Linux can read/play natively. I've read a sketchy suggestion that there's a Linux app or utility to do a translation from WMA, <http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/127583>, but I always like to keep things as simple as possible and so would much prefer avoiding the hassle and possible failure of conversion apps and Windows-format crap generally. Secondly, connecting to my laptop... I've got a sound card, but it doesn't have LineIn, just mike and headphone jacks; neither of these is good for input, but... Many audio recorders these days connect with USB (which I've got), so that's the most likely connection path. Given these parameters, does anyone have good experiences with a really small audio recorder and offloading and then playing its sound files on Linux? Thanks much. -- Anything is easy if you know how to do it.

Monitoring power consumption
by Peter Peltonen 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi all, I would like to monitor the power consumption of my server. What I am looking for is: * a simple monitoring device that would measure the power consumption of 1 server * a way to get the consumption reading from that device to my centos server (via usb / wlan / whatever works) Any suggestions? Best, Peter

(no subject)

Hi all, I've got a bit of an issue with reinstalling a server. I can get the installer to boot off a memory stick made with unetbootin, but I can't seem to find the installation files on the stick. I have hda, sda and sdb but none are acceptable install media. How do I mount the USB stick while in the installer to install off it? DVD isn't an option because it's been removed for a tape drive. It's probably something simple I'm missing. Thanks

Last time yum update was done on that box, due to Hyper V issues, kernel crashed. I now know how to fix it, but back then we just went to a previous kernel version (modified grub.conf), which I believe now causes my current problems. This box's main responsibility has to do with afs, so installing afs related package is kind of important.. Thank you! Asya

Peter, The ones I used were from APC and are under the product line of Metered Rack PDU, u can find them on the apc website. Here are a few product numbers from that line(APC7800,801,802) they all have web, snmp (u can graph with MRTG, or whatever), Telnet access, etc.. they start at about 300USD from what I've seen.

I am also looking for a way to measure other devices than computers and I want to collect this information to the centos server. But I guess it doesn't matter what kind of device I connect to the PDU, it still can measure its power consumption and report it somehow? Can you recommend any cheap model? I was aware of these PDU's existing, but I haven't really considered them as they probably are quite expensive as they do also many other things (monitor the load of the server etc)...
