install CentOS 6 from minimal, console only
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi all I would like to install CentOS on this: http://www.lannerinc.com/x86_Network_Appliances/FW-7520 - No VGA/DVI - Only a "console" port (the old 9600 baudrate one) - Boot on USB actived by default Would you know a tutorial helping on installing CentOS on this? I guess I have to - download the minimal iso, - 'dd'-copy it to a flash USB drive - setup some files to use the console instead of vga (which ones...?) My desktopo side, I already have minicom et al installed, just looking for. -- RMA.

4 GBit nic bonding new centos 6.3 system with cisco VSS switches - suggestions?
by Götz Reinicke 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, I install a new 4 Port GBit Server with centos 6.3 and I'd like to use nic bonding. Searching for a good how to pinted to this page: http://www.how2centos.com/centos-6-channel-bonding/ My question: Is this the current, good way to bond the 4 ports? The other question: What should I set on the cisco switch for the Port-channel options? As far as I understand for performance and redundancy I will use LACP and balance-alb. The switches are 6500 VSS so they should act as "one physical device" as required by LACP. thanks for any suggestion and comments .

Hi everyone, To be short, I try to compile the Distro kernel release 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64, but I always got an error telling "missing-syscalls".

Is gnome-devel-docs supposed to work with devhelp?
by Frank Cox 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

I just installed gnome-devel-docs with the objective of having a local copy of the gnome hig-book and now that I have it installed I don't know how to use it. I had assumed that it would show up in devhelp but it doesn't. What I have is a bunch of XML files in /usr/share/gnome/help/hig-book/C, and when I try to view one with firefox it tells me "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. " What am I supposed to use to read the hig-book files? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

SAS Hard Disk 15K rpm on CentOS 5.8

Hi, I get these below information. Please help me understand about "SMART Health Status: FAILURE PREDICTION THRESHOLD EXCEEDED: ascq=0x5 [asc=5d, ascq=5]" and what does that error mean. Does it mean that the SAS disk 0 is failing and has serious issues and needs to be replaced and also do i need to run health status test with different options/flags or switches. /usr/sbin/smartctl -d megaraid,0 -a /dev/sda smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST3300657SS Revision: ES65 User Capacity: 300,000,000,000 bytes [300 GB] Logical block size: 512 bytes Logical Unit id: 0x5000c500477d63bb Serial number: 6SJ46RZB Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS Local Time is: Fri Jul 27 06:50:49 2012 IST Device supports SMART and is Enabled Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported SMART Health Status: FAILURE PREDICTION THRESHOLD EXCEEDED: ascq=0x5 [asc=5d, ascq=5] Current Drive Temperature: 33 C Drive Trip Temperature: 68 C Elements in grown defect list: 2048 Vendor (Seagate) cache information Blocks sent to initiator = 2518358542 Blocks received from initiator = 3507177513 Blocks read from cache and sent to initiator = 19620730 Number of read and write commands whose size <= segment size = 35772014 Number of read and write commands whose size > segment size = 103 Vendor (Seagate/Hitachi) factory information number of hours powered up = 3903.10 number of minutes until next internal SMART test = 32 Error counter log: Errors Corrected by Total Correction Gigabytes Total ECC rereads/ errors algorithm processed uncorrected fast | delayed rewrites corrected invocations [10^9 bytes] errors read: 7599922 9416 0 7609338 7609338 360.930 0 write: 0 0 0 0 0 1851.172 0 verify: 96309427 1108629 0 97418056 97419201 62032.969 3455 Non-medium error count: 3 SMART Self-test log Num Test Status segment LifeTime LBA_first_err [SK ASC ASQ] Description number (hours) # 1 Background long Completed 32 1 - [- - -] # 2 Background short Completed 32 1 - [- - -] Long (extended) Self Test duration: 3200 seconds [53.3 minutes] [root@~]# /usr/sbin/smartctl -d megaraid,1 -a /dev/sda smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST3300657SS Revision: ES65 User Capacity: 300,000,000,000 bytes [300 GB] Logical block size: 512 bytes Logical Unit id: 0x5000c500477d49fb Serial number: 6SJ44JEH Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS Local Time is: Fri Jul 27 06:50:55 2012 IST Device supports SMART and is Enabled Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported SMART Health Status: OK Current Drive Temperature: 32 C Drive Trip Temperature: 68 C Elements in grown defect list: 0 Vendor (Seagate) cache information Blocks sent to initiator = 1288378070 Blocks received from initiator = 3519302272 Blocks read from cache and sent to initiator = 19977846 Number of read and write commands whose size <= segment size = 35969964 Number of read and write commands whose size > segment size = 102 Vendor (Seagate/Hitachi) factory information number of hours powered up = 3903.00 number of minutes until next internal SMART test = 32 Error counter log: Errors Corrected by Total Correction Gigabytes Total ECC rereads/ errors algorithm processed uncorrected fast | delayed rewrites corrected invocations [10^9 bytes] errors read: 16718097 0 0 16718097 16718097 352.119 0 write: 0 0 0 0 0 1810.643 0 verify: 197332427 0 0 197332427 197332427 5156.549 0 Non-medium error count: 0 SMART Self-test log Num Test Status segment LifeTime LBA_first_err [SK ASC ASQ] Description number (hours) # 1 Background long Completed 32 1 - [- - -] # 2 Background short Completed 32 1 - [- - -] Long (extended) Self Test duration: 3200 seconds [53.3 minutes] Regards Kaushal

su path hard coded?
by Stephen Harris 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Is there any way of changing the PATH that's set by 'su' to be specific to my needs? It looks like 'su' has the path's hard coded. % rpm -qf /bin/su coreutils-5.97-34.el5_8.1 % strings /bin/su | grep local.bin /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin I could kludge it with pam_env, I guess, but that may have more impact than just 'su' and I'd like to avoid side-effects. Thanks! -- rgds Stephen

problem with machine "freezing" for short periods
by Vanhorn, Mike 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

I have two HP dc7800 convertible minitowers that are exhibiting the following issue: every 5-10 minutes, they will "freeze" for about 30 seconds, and then pick right back up again. During the freeze, it seems that nothing at all happens on the system; the clock doesn't even advance (it just picks up again with the next second, and that 30-or-so seconds are lost). I've tried both CentOS 5.8 and 5.7, thinking it was a kernel incompatibility, but the problem happened with both versions. I have tried different hard drives, different memory, even swapped the entire machine, and the problem exists everywhere. I have tried adding "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line, as that was reported as being necessary back with 5.2 on these machines, but that made no difference (and shouldn't be necessary now, anyway, as I believe the issue has either been fixed or worked-around). I am stuck, and can't figure out where to even suspect the problem might actually be. There are no errors getting logged anywhere that I can find, probably because everything just "stops" temporarily, so there's nothing for the system to log. Does anyone have any idea where I could look to fix this? I think I am next going to go back to 5.2, where the pci=nommconf is necessary, because at least back that far it appears to have been working for other people. However, I really would like to have this running 5.8.

SELinux in CentOS 6
by Beartooth 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

It keeps butting in when I try to install map software from Garmin under Wine. I'm not nearly competent not willing to apply the remedy it suggests. How do I get to someplace where I can disable it, or at least set it to permissive?
