Is it possible to create CentOS 5.9 LiveCD on CentOS 6.4 system?

Libcurl.so.3: wherefore art thou?
by Gilbert Sebenste 25 May '13

25 May '13

I am utterly stumped. I need libcurl.so.3 for CentOS 6.4. I have Googled everything and I have been going all over the Internet looking for a solution. I give up; I need help. The error message I get when I try to run a program is: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have: Package libcurl-7.19.7-36.el6_4.i686 already installed and latest version Package python-pycurl-7.19.0-8.el6.i686 already installed and latest version Package curl-7.19.7-36.el6_4.i686 already installed and latest version Package libcurl-devel-7.19.7-36.el6_4.i686 already installed and latest version I also have git installed (yes, I know about the EPEL conflict giving me a 5.9 version) and I do have the CentOS 6 version installed)...no dice. Can anyone help me?

Failed to create /dev/loop0p* entries for partitions inside loopback devices
by Gelen James 24 May '13

24 May '13

centos 6 failed to create entries under /dev for newly created loopback devices. Any one know why? and how to fix/workaround it? The steps to duplicate is pretty simple dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/deleteme bs=1M count=100 losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/deleteme fdisk /dev/loop0 ## created partitions 1, 2, etc. fdisk -l /dev/loop0 ## confirmed that the partitions do exist mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop0p1 ## failed here, the error prompt says that the /dev/loop0p1 doesn't exist! ls /dev/loop0p* ## no entries Please shed a light here, I'm running centos 6.4 Thanks.

CentOS 6 and PHP
by Glenn Eychaner 24 May '13

24 May '13

Still upgrading CentOS 5 to CentOS 6, and have run into the next issue: When I install httpd and php, everything works great, and the default-test "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" works great. The problem is that I have a bunch of old HTML that seems to use "<?" alone (or worse, "<!--?"), which worked in CentOS 5 but fails in CentOS 6. I can change all the HTML, but is there an easier way? Summary of previous issues: system-config-network-cmd leaving behind "ifcfg" files in network-scripts that it shouldn't: I still don't have an answer for this one; I work around it by naming all the scripts "ifcfg-ethX_<profile>" and cleaning any that don't match <profile> after running system-config-network-cmd. I suspect it has to do with either the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistant-net.rules or the format of my ifcfg-ethX_* files, but haven't been able to resolve it. Probably will leave it as "workaround works". UUIDs and boot drives: Didn't solve this one either, but again didn't try very hard because the recovery from a failed attempt is a royal pain. I decided that the actual UUIDs weren't important enough to me to matter, since I seldom boot with more than one workstation's drive connected at a time. I will probably go back to labels, since I can change those (apparently) without rendering the system unbootable.

Changing disk UUID after cloning
by Glenn Eychaner 24 May '13

24 May '13

So, I have a CentOS 6 system, and I want to make several clones of it. I'm using Clonezilla to clone the drives; that's no problem. But the drive UUIDs are driving me up the wall. After cloning, the two drives have the same UUID, but I'd like each clone to have different UUIDs so there's no possibility of a conflict when I am running diagnostics with two drives installed, etc. But when I change the UUID of the /boot or / partition (even if I update /etc/fstab), the system won't boot; it GRUBs OK (after I use recovery mode to rerun grub-install), but never gets to the 'Welcome to CentOS " message. Do I need to "rebless" vmlinuz or initrd or initramfs in the /boot partition if I change the drive UUID? Or should I just ignore UUID and go back to using labels in /etc/fstab (which is what I did in CentOS 5)?

It does not need any persistent storage on a machine, which also makes it a suitable recovery environment. The Live media are setup to run as full desktop environments and include most of the applications used in this role. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : 4677bb7d14f907e55936f991286c5d391519ada92428f71e82dac91b16bf671b CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso 11822113016177b02bd80dbb35ae80f55db7b0590086b77bb661a4f7d40ee549 CentOS-6.4-i386-LiveCD.iso 1dee1e5f9df0278002b7da0279ed55afdf11abc5b889f4678ba43d70979e00f1 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso 29e91fbfc30cab11661c38d767a0b1694cf57b994440575aa41b2c86a115e3e0 CentOS-6.4-i386-LiveDVD.iso The CentOS-6.4 Live media 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: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveDVD.tor… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.torr… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/CentOS-6.4-i386-LiveDVD.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/CentOS-6.4-i386-LiveCD.torrent 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 LiveCD and LiveDVD only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6 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/ ).

That's probably the problem; I will make another attempt in the morning, if I decide that I care. I may simply decide that I don't care if I have duplicated UUIDs between workstations, if it becomes too much trouble to fix. :-) -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

CentOS source rpm repository setup
by Toralf Lund 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi. I thought I might set up my CentOS 6 system with a source rpm repository config, so that I'll be able to download srpm files via "yumdownloader --source" or similar. I'm thinking that in order to this, I have to add something like the following to the yum repos config: [base-source] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base (SRPMS) baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/SRPMS gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 #released updates [updates-source] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates (SRPMS) baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/SRPMS gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 The question is, what I specify as "baseurl"? The above does not actually work, as http://mirror.centos.org/ does not have SRPMS subdirectories, although I believe it did in the past for earlier versions. So, does anyone know of URLs I can use instead?
