Kickstart and CentOS 6 episode 2...
by John Doe 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hey, I solved my "The installation source given by device ['sdb2'] could not be found". Apparently ignoredisk is so strong it not only ignores the disks to be partitioned but also the disks holding the installation source... Now I ran into: In interactive step cleardiskssel, can't continue In anaconda.log I saw: step installtype does not exist step confirminstall does not exist step complete does not exist (14 times) Then it seem to do the step setuptime correctly. And then it goes into stepcleardiskssel and fails. Found an old bug about it, but not much info... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=565873 My kickstart: cmdline skipx install harddrive --partition=sdb2 --dir=/centos keyboard fr-pc lang en_US timezone Europe/Paris reboot logging --level=info #ignoredisk --only-use=sda part /boot --onpart sda1 --noformat part / --onpart sda2 --noformat part swap --onpart sda3 --noformat part /usr --onpart sda5 --noformat part /var --onpart sda6 --noformat part /home --onpart sda7 --noformat bootloader --driveorder=sda,sdb --location=mbr ... Thx, JD

kvm module and boot order
by Jerry Geis 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

I use kvm-amd a lot to do test installs. I am using it with qemu-kvm-0.14 the lastest. I think your supposed to be able to give your command line and add the parameter " -boot dc" so it initially boots with the cdrom (d) and then after reboot will boot do the HD or c. This never works for me. It always boots CDROM. Is anyone using this argument. Is there something special to do in order to get the first boot on CDrom then the next boot going to HD? Thanks, Jerry

How to test for '.' in a script
by James B. Byrne 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

I am trying to check for a single period '.' in a shell variable. $ I=. $ echo $I . $ if [[ "$I" -eq '.' ]]; then echo true; fi -bash: [[: .: syntax error: operand expected (error token is ".") All other variants of this construct, with and without escape characters, single and double quote combinations, that I can think of all give exactly the same error. How does one check to see for this in a bash script? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Re: [CentOS] centos6 not using /etc/gdm/custom.conf
by Jamieson, Stephen CTR Navair, 5.4.4.4 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

If anyone really needs to do this, there is a patch in the gdm srpm called plymoth.patch that changes the parameters. It's located on line 225. If you change that to what you need and recompile it, it should work. Not that I recommend this... Regards, Stephen Jamieson -----Original Message----- From: Jamieson, Stephen CTR Navair, 5.4.4.4 Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2011 2:17 PM To: 'centos(a)centos.org' Subject: centos6 not using /etc/gdm/custom.conf In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far as I can tell. It appears to run with -nr -verbose -auth -nolisten tcp by default. Is there any way to modify this? Regards, Stephen Jamieson

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-6.0 LiveDVD i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:01:02 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.0 LiveDVD i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4E3098AE.4050904(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.0 LiveDVD for i386 and x86_64 architectures. Detailed Release Notes are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveDVD6.0 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Overview The CentOS-6.0 LiveDVD is meant to be a Linux environment suited to be run directly from either DVD media or USB storage devices. It does not need any persistent storage on a machine, which also makes it a suitable recovery environment. The LiveDVDs are setup to run as full desktop environments and include most of the applications used in this role. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : CentOS-6.0-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso: e604450174c646a6590156e3c6c29f3eca0d6b2a8d0f9745a4ea11dff35f0abc CentOS-6.0-i386-LiveDVD.iso: cb76a6bcd14c7397d756c5a5fdfede4bd004a7a6f1cef8f35977ba310a4b14aa The CentOS-6.0 LiveDVD is released to all external mirrors and available for download now. List of mirrors is available at these urls : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ Due to the size of these DVDs, torrents have also been released and are being seeded at this time. The torrents are available at the same url as the iso files. Once you download the images, its important to verify contents using the sha256sum utility, against the published sums here. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Notes You can now install the Live environment to your hard disk (which wasn?t possible with the 5.x Live medias). Please note that you need more that 512Mb of ram to be able to use that ?install to hard drive? feature (If you have less than 512Mb of ram, you can install to disk but in text-mode, meaning that instead of clicking on the desktop icon, you have to launch a gnome-terminal and launch the ?liveinst? command from within the terminal) There is no upstream Live media product. The Live media produced within the CentOS Project is based on and around the livemedia tools from the Fedora Project. These LiveDVD only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.0 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution. We appreciate all forms of feedback about these LiveDVD, including specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future releases. The best place to provide this feedback is via the centos-devel mailing list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) and feature requests via the issue tracker ( http://bugs.centos.org/ ). Special thanks to Fabian Arrotin for taking up the LiveCD and LiveDVD efforts, and to everyone on the QA team who worked through the issues and helped build, test and release these images. And to Patrice Guay for his work in setting up the Live Media effort within the CentOS Project. -- Karanbir Singh The CentOS Project irc: z00dax, #centos(a)irc.freenode.net ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 77, Issue 8 **********************************************
