yum checksum for updates fails
by Strimpakos Giorgos 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hello, this is my first time sending to this list. I tried to found the most appropriate place to ask my question, and the most matching list was this. I hope not to be off-topic. Today, I tried to make a yum update to my centos machines, and I got an error for the updates channel. The error was: Metadata file does not match checksum Is there an issue on this?

Form Feed on RAW printer
by Juan De Mola 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hi all. On CentOS 4 I was able to set a text only printer and send raw data and form feed on the end. Now on CentOS 5/6 I only have the option to set it RAW or text only but not the previous mix. How I can get it to work the same way? In most cases we use 5.x. Thanks -- Juan Pablo De Mola Rodríguez

VNC
by Larry Martell 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

I'm trying to set up a VNC server using the instructions at http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/linux-101-easy-vnc-s… . I am up to step 6: Step 6: Edit iptables In order for the VNC connections to get through, you must allow them with iptables. To do this, open up the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables and add the line: -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -m multiport --dports 5901:5903,6001:6003 -j ACCEPT Save the file and restart iptables with the command: service iptables restart When I issue the restart command I get: iptables: Applying firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 1 failed [FAILED] Note that I did not have an iptables file before but there is an iptables-config file. Can someone help me complete this configuration. Thanks! -larry

SSH login from user with empty password
by Michael Schultz 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hello list, on a CentOS 6.4 machine I'm creating accounts with empty passwords. Each user's public key is located in <user's home>/.ssh/authorized_keys. When trying to ssh into that machine, following error message is displayed: Permission denied (publickey). In /etc/ssh/sshd_config I've set: PasswordAuthentication no UsePAM no If I set a password for the users, the public key auth works without any problems. Could anyone tell me what I'm missing here? Thanks Michael

CentOS 6.4: sound not working
by Jeff Layton 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Good morning, I've got a new system with a fresh 6.4 installation. I didn't check if the sound worked at first but I know it doesn't now. :) The system board is an ASRock Extreme6. The Specs say it has a Realtek ALC1150 audio chipset and 7.1 channels. I'm running KDE and an Nvidia X driver (I need the video performance of this driver - sorry about that). The System Tools for Audio Output list 4 devices: HDA Intel (HDA Generic) Default PulseAudio HDA NVidia (HDMI 0) The speakers are connected via the typical audio jack and when I test "HDA Intel (HDA General)" it says that the default device did not work and it is using the PulseAudio device. I tested all 4 devices and nothing ever played. I've also made sure I have the audio jack plugged into the right port on the board :) I Googled a bit and one site suggested reinstalling the alsa kernel module, which I did. No change - still no sound. Any suggestions? Thanks! Jeff

Sound Volume Setting At Login
by Mark LaPierre 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hey all, When I log on my sound level is set at about 35%. I have to use the sound preferences to turn the sound level up every time I log in. Other users on this same system do not have this issue. When they log in their volume is set at 100%. This leads me to believe that there must be something in my local settings that is turning down my sound volume settings. Does anyone have a clue were the config file might be that is causing this to happen to me and not to others? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

display full-screen color graphic without X
by ken 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Need to test a monitor attached to a running server, so I'm looking for an application/utility to display a large color graphic. This must be possible to do without X because a splash screen comes up when this system boots. The best graphic to display obviously would be some kind of fullscreen test pattern. Anyone know where to get that? tia, ken

Can anyone give me a clue? > > thanks! So, I don't know what the heck happened, but I have what looks like a solution: a number of important files in /dev somehow had their permissions changed. I had to do the following: chmod a+rw /dev/null chmod a+rw /dev/urandom chmod a+rw /dev/zero chmod a+rw /dev/full chmod a+rw /dev/random After which X started and the complaints about /dev/null went away. As I worked thru fixing first /dev/null, each step got me a bit further, with more complaints about inaccessable /dev/ entries, so I just kept fixing them until the complaints went away. I also compared permissions in /dev against my Fedora 19 netbook, which is how I knew what permissions to use for the rest, as well as being where I found correct permissions, as well as /dev/zero and /dev/full being wrong. I have NO CLUE what hosed the permissions, and I can't be sure that there may not be some other items also wrong (that I can't see because they don't appear on the F19 system). Can anyone suggest an accurate way to have the system fix all the permissions in /dev? some arcane options on rpm, perhaps? thanks!
