Help with 6.4 install on ASUS laptop
by Richard Reina 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hello all, Hoping someone can help me. I followed the instructions here: http://cedarboy.com/informational/install-centos-6-using-unetbootin-and-a-t… the exception that in step 8. (Now copy the same image into the root directory of the thumbdrive.) I could not find a directory labled /root/ so I copied the image to / the main directory where everything else is. Once the install began I picked that install media was on hard drive and picked /dev/sbd1. I then selected the harddrive an (ATA WDC) as the target drive. It seems to begin to write the filesystem and the stops and gives me this message: "unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: anaconda-base-201303050102.x86_64. Please verify it's path and try again. I have the an exthernet cable pluged in from router but I am pretty sure that the machine cannot access the internet. As when I tried to enter the repodata url manually it said that the eth0 was not configured and game me a "bug" error when I tried to do so. Can anyone help?

Multiple windows shell multiplexer...
by John Doe 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hi, I am currently using keyboardcast but I had to modify the sources to make it behave "properly" (light, auto-placed, auto-tiled windows, etc) and... I lost my modifications and do not want to recode it once more... :/ I wanted to use mssh (not the python one, the one from Bradley Smith) but I cannot find an rpm and cannot compile it on CentOS 5 due to a too old vte-devel library (compiles on CentOS 6 though)... Anyone knows a good *multiple windows* shell multiplexer...? Thx, JD

XFS inode64 NFS export on CentOS6
by Maarten van Ingen 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi, I am trying to get the most out of my 40TB xfs file system and I have noticed that the inode64 mount option gives me a roughly 30% performance increase (besides the other useful things). The problem is that I have to export the filesystem via NFS and I cannot seem to get this working with the current version of nfs-utils (1.2.3). The export option fsid=uuid cannot be used (the standard nfs-utils does accept this option). Also I am not exporting the root of the filesystem, but a couple of subdirs. If I mount the subdirs on the clients it seems to go alright. But when I do e.g. an 'ls' I get a 'Stale NFS handle' error. Updating nfs-utils seems not so trivial so I would like to skip this option :-) How can I export this filesystem with inode64 enabled and mount it on my clients? All clients are Centos6 64bits as is the server. Cheers, Maarten van Ingen

fail2ban with standard Apache log format?
by tony＠softins.co.uk 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

I want to use fail2ban on CentOS 6 to monitor Apache with the standard default logfile format ("combined"). Has anyone here succeeded in doing so? The format has the IP at the start of the line, followed by two dashes (if no authentication) and THEN the timestamp. What I've read on the fail2ban wiki seems to say that the timestamp must ALWAYS be at the start of the line, followed by other stuff. I'm amazed if it isn't configurable... I'm using fail2ban 0.8.8 from EPEL. Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony(a)softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony(a)mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org

Centos 6.4 hostname issues.
by Rafał Radecki 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi All. I currently have a problem with hostname and fqdn. I use: # cat /etc/redhat-release ; uname -r CentOS release 6.4 (Final) 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 # hostname srv1.devel.test.com # grep HOSTNAME /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=srv1.devel.test.com # cat /etc/hostname srv1 # cat /etc/domainname devel.test.com but # hostname --fqdn devel.test.com As I think it should give: srv1.devel.test.com. Have you got similar problem? Any hint how to solve it? Best regards, Rafal Radecki.

How to rebuild the Centos 6.4 iso images with the same contents as officially released iso images ?
by Martin Robrecht 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I have read many Centos webpages and mail archives but found only raw descriptions of the build process. My first aim is to rebuild CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso using the Centos repositories and preferably without recompiling the SRPMs, just to verify the build process. My final aim is to create a Centos LiveOS contain the packages in CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso plus some network configuration changes and some own executables preinstalled. --- Only background, not part of the question --- I tried to build a LiveOS on Centos6.4 x86_64 host using livecd-creator ( livecd-tools-13.4-2.el6.x86_64 ): LANG=C livecd-creator --config=centos-livecd-minimal.ks –fslabel=CentOS-minimal centos-livecd-minimal.ks ( adapted from https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/browser/trunk/CentOS5/centos-livecd… ) : lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us timezone US/Eastern auth --useshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing firewall --disabled repo --name=a-base --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.4/os/x86_64 repo --name=a-updates --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.4/updates/x86_64 #repo --name=a-extras --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.4/extras/x86_64 repo --name=a-live --baseurl=http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/x86_64/live %packages bash kernel syslinux passwd policycoreutils chkconfig authconfig rootfiles comps-extras xkeyboard-config %end The generated .iso File fails to boot on a real and on a VirtualBox machine with a problem in the initial ramdisk : dracut: Fatal: Don't know how to handle 'root=live:UUID=a68d794a-d777-4e4f-86ba-d2cc50d8fa1e' dracut: Refusing to continue Kernel panic – not syncing : Attempted to kill init
