Right now, we just have motion running on the servers that have the USB cameras plugged in; after the recent grief we had with the last upgrade to CentOS, when I wound up moving one camera that just would not work - the top 10% of the screen was fine, and the rest green, and the other I had to change the resolution to 240x360 to get it to not do that, my manager asked me to look into appliances that we could manage from our servers. >> >> We've found Zmodo, and another one, but with *both* of them, though the DVR that comes with the set is running Linux, web control *REQURES* IE, and you can't log in directly using ssh or telnet. > If the camera is running on Windows, you can probably stream directly from the device using ffmpeg.

If nothing else, you can probe the camera to see what modes it supports, etc..., to make sure you're picking one that works, > Ok, I *must* not have made clear what I was asking for. Let me try one more time.... We want an appliance, such as <http://www.zmodo.com/4ch-h-264-full-d1-dvr-500gb-hdd-with-4-cmos-480tvl-ir-…>, that we can put on our network, and manage, and d/l videos for long-term storage, onto a server. We have exactly, um, two? boxes running Windows, and we normally do *nothing* with them. We've over 100 servers running Linux, and that's where we live. Currently, the USB cameras are connected to ->CENTOS SERVERS<-, no WinCrap at all. We use the standard package motion to record for surveillance. We're looking for an "appliance", like the link I give above, that we can manage the same way that we manage an HP printer, which does *NOT* require IE, and we can do with firefox, or probably even konqueror. At the very least, we want to use, say, wget, to d/l the videos. NOTHING RUNNING WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, if I can calm myself down, have I made it clear what it is we're looking for? If so, can anyone recommend a source for such an appliance? mark

Kernel 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6 boot fail
by Kwan Lowe 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Hello All: I installed 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 today and had some boot issues. After rebooting, the system locked immediately after the Asus motherboard logo. I thought at first that it was a hardware issue because it didn't appear that grub even loaded. I wasn't even able to get into the BIOS to change the boot order so it appeared that it was a hardware issue. I reset the MB BIOS and rebooted, which allowed me to get into the BIOS. Everything looked normal. I then tried to boot and the same issue. I repeated the BIOS clear and this time got to grub and let it load the latest kernel (2.6.32-358.14.1.el6). It hung again. I repeated the BIOS clear, go to the grub screen, selected the previous kernel and everything was fine. Once I got to the OS, I removed the "rhgb quiet" from grub.conf from the newest kernel. Rebooted. Hung again immediately after loading. The weird thing is that I couldn't just power down and get back to grub; I had to clear the BIOS again before I could even load grub to select the previous kernel. Anyone else experiencing issues with the latest kernel? Any idea why it seems to even corrupt the BIOS?

howto avoid Samba
by Johan Vermeulen 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Dear All, I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server. So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba server with ldap connection. Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also because I can't get it to work on Centos. ) I saw a post on the mailinglist some time ago about Windows and Nfs, but find that Nfs is supported on Win7 Ultimate but not on Professional edition. I apologise if another way was mentioned in this post and I missed it. I googled and tried Omni-Nfs, but could not get a connection working. I installed TightVnc on Windows and that connects ok to the Centos server, but shared clipboard does not work. Can anyone point met to a useful solution to enable file sharing to Win7 Pro without Samba? Many thanks. greetings, J. -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen Opensource Software is the future.

Firewire on Centos-6 ???
by Fred Smith 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Hi all! I'm trying to use my first-ever firewire device, and just OOB I'm not getting very far, so advice would be appreciated. When I plug in the device I see some entries in /var/log/messages: Jul 27 14:50:30 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Jul 27 14:50:31 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 0003f300118123f9, S100 lsmod says this: # lsmod | grep fire firewire_ohci 24695 0 firewire_core 50151 1 firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1717 2 udf,firewire_core I have these 1394-related packages installed: # yum list installed | grep 1394 libavc1394.x86_64 0.5.3-9.1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64/6.3 libdc1394.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libdc1394-docs.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libdc1394-tools.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libraw1394.x86_64 2.0.4-1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64/6.3 lspci says this: 03:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) the only mention of 1394 that I see in /etc/modprobe.d is this (grep output): dist.conf:install eth1394 /bin/true which, to the limited extent of my understanding shouldn't be a problem. I'm trying to use Kino. when I start it up and click the "capture" tab on the right I get a warning in the bar at the bottom of the Kino window that reads: WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw/1394! which makes sense since there ins't a /dev/raw/1394. however, according to this: # find /dev -name \*firewire\* -print /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw1 /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw0 there are two firewire device nodes. Should Kino be using one of those device nodes instead of /dev/raw/1394? Or if not, does anyone have further advice (preferably helpful advice) ?? thanks!

I can't seem to check off the centos media repo from within the add/remove application. Is there a way to do this? I tried to invoke gpk-application from root but it didn't work. Thanks-Patrick

Kernel 3.10 and CentOS 5
by Stephen Harris 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

I have a Centos 5 machine which I've just compiled the 3.10.4 kernel on (remembering to set CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED) because I needed new rtlwifi drivers for my rtl8192cu device. So far, so good. It seems to work. Except /proc/bus/usb doesn't exist anymore. USB_DEVICEFS has been removed. An older kernel (3.2.9) says Usbfs entries are files and not character devices; usbfs can't handle Access Control Lists (ACL) which are the default way to grant access to USB devices for untrusted users of a desktop system. The usbfs functionality is replaced by real device-nodes managed by udev. These nodes lived in /dev/bus/usb and are used by libusb. Has anyone got udev on C5 working with this new kernel so my USB devices show? (It's not causing me any real issues, other than "lsusb" nor working; just curious!) -- rgds Stephen

looking for a comprehensive list of centos-compatible yum repositories (for gnustep program)
by Dan Hitt 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

I installed CentOS 6.4 on a partition on my computer a few days ago, and i'm trying to equip it with the software i think i need. For example, i need, or i think i need, a couple of gnustep programs for uploading images from my digital camera (the programs being openapp and Camera.app). I imagine that these are old enough that they must surely exist in rpms somewhere. But i apparently don't know how to google around sufficiently well to locate a repository that contains them, or even that contains packages that i know exist as rpms. For example: i'm certain that an rpm exists for a package called gnustep-make, because its name popped up on http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=279655 But if i try 'sudo yum install gnustep-make' i get 'No package gnustep-make available.' So that clearly means that i don't have enough repositories configured for use. So, i'd be grateful for any pointers to a list of CentOS-compatible repositories that i can put in the yum configuration (/etc/yum.repos.d or elsewhere). (Maybe this is a FAQ, or an RTFM --- i'd appreciate any steering here!) dan

surveillance DVR
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 31 Jul '13

Does anyone know of a DVR that runs Linux that does NOT USE Active-X, and/or allows logging in directly? All I keep running into are crap that ->requires<- IE, and don't allow directly logging in. mark
