how to config printing on C7 installed from live image
by Fred Smith 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi All! I've just done a test installation (on an external USB HD) to see how C7 works on my Acer Aspire netbook. Apparently the live install (I used this one: CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-livecd.iso) does not install CUPS. I've done "yum install cups" and got a ton of stuff installed, but it won't let me set up a printer in the printing applet in either Gnome or MATE (I prefer Mate). Adding a printer is greyed out, and I get told there is no server running. I thought I needed to start the printer service (cupsd???) but I can't find the system-config-services (or whatever it's named, if not that) app either. Also haven't found a systemd config for cups, either. I've tried adding /usr/sbin/cupsd to the system startup programs list, but that doesn't seem to help either. Obviously I'm overlooking something, and I'd appreciate a (helpful) slap upside the head, i.e., a gentl hint of where I've gone wrong. thanks a lot!

10 Gbps adapter recommendation
by Nux! 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi guys, I'm yet to use 10 Gbps with CentOS, hence my question. I'm looking for a cheap (doh) adapter that won't cause me problems with CentOS. Any recommendations? Cheers Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

gdm doesnt work.
by dE 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi! I just installed GDM on centos 7. I'm starting it by # gdm. However, all I see is a text cursor (as with the TTYs), nothing else. X works well. Logs have no errors. GDM logs are a copy of X logs.

Guidance: compile education
by Stan Cruise 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

This question may not belong in the Centos.org list, but I do want to compile against this distro. Please advise. The question: Can I be pointed at methods to learn to compile source against a distro. I have software development background (but too long ago to be specifically useful; however I have the concepts). Typically I can find some fairly decent step-by-steps for some apps, but it never works out. Which means I am missing the basics. I have been working with Centos and Fedora through many VM and metal installs, so that part is OK. I am getting tired of constantly trying to find the app I want in the distro, or an applicable rpm. It's time to compile. Stan

Re: [CentOS] ELRepo still active?

I just found out my mistake. There was a "last modified" entry for 2012, but this concerned only the FAQ page. Now I looked on another page, and it's october 2014.

I am planning on basing my main desktop and server configurations on CentOS 6.x and 7.x. I was only asking for CentOS 5.x, since here in South France, there are many people who have sometimes pathologically obsolete hardware. And I think CentOS 5.x is the best choice for legacy hardware that's more than 10 years old.

charset=utf-8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am pleased to announce general availability of the rolling builds for CentOS Linux. Todays release includes CentOS Linux 7 iso based install media and the generic cloud images. CentOS Linux rolling builds are point in time snapshot media rebuild from original release time, to include all updates pushed to mirror.centos.org's repositories. This includes all security, bugfix, enhancement and general updates for CentOS Linux. Machines installed from this media will have all these updates pre-included and will look no different when compared with machines installed with older media that have been yum updated to the same point in time. All rpm/yum repos remain on mirror.centos.org with no changes in either layout or content. We will aim to update and issue for release a new set of these files at the end of every month going forward. Each released filename includes a datestamp and a buildtag to indicate the content included. Files marked as 20141129_02 indicate that it includes all content released to mirror.centos.org upto ( and including ) the 29th of Nov 2014 and is the second build of that cycle. While all build's are made public at buildlogs.centos.org/, only those that pass our QA and testing cycles will be marked as released, to be included in buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/. We will also do interim builds as needed ( for development and testing purposes ) at different points in time, those builds will not be marked for general release, but will still be avilable publicly. Since there is a need to test these images, the release will always lag few days behind the datestamp ( and therefore content included ) in the release. My aim is to automate as much of this as possible going forward to reduce this time lag as much as possible, however we might not be able to remove it completely. With every cycle, we hope to increase the content made available in this rolling format. Immediate next steps include bringing the CentOS Linux 7 livemedia into the rolling releases followed by CentOS Linux 6 content from the next ( December 2014 ) cycle. Due to the way the installer works in CentOS-5, and its point in time we have no plans on including CentOS-5 in this cycle at this point. For the sake of uniformity and communication, the release media will be referenced by the month it reflects, not the month it was released in. Making this release the Nov 2014 Rolling release. Other content formats like containers and vendor specific images will aim to start with the same cycle as the main CentOS Linux media, but might move to a more frequent build and release cycle if needed. Special Interest Groups ( http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup ) wanting to do media and installer releases should also consider using the rolling timelines to sync with. Finally, I want to highlight that we will always consider doing a rolling release to address major security issues like the recent heartbleed, shellshock and poodle patches. - ----------- CentOS Linux distro installer media: File: CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-20141129_02.iso Sha256sum: 85a46c62b5bfc701678bef7854bb73af4ccfb840dfcbfb2f9b2189e08fe9438c File: CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-20141129_02.iso Sha256sum: f9fdd8b12c9529a1e3bf7628ebee964b2aeb9fd66540de7b369e0fde6f7a4236 File: CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-20141129_02.iso Sha256sum: e1338d13178f1c66c17386b7ced0b1459c677ff9a1cf095ac4db377234cc03fa Symlinks are provided that will always map to the latest released builds, as follows ( including their current mapping ) http://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD.iso - -> CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-20141129_02.iso http://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Everythin… - -> CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-20141129_02.iso http://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal.i… - -> CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-20141129_02.iso These symlinks will be updated to point at the latest tested and released media and make for a good target in automation that requires CentOS Linux media. - ---------- Cloud and Instance Images: The CentOS Linux 7 GenericCloud image is built to include cloud-init from the Extras/ repository.

CentOS 5 text mode installer: minimum requirements?
by Niki Kovacs 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hi, A company I do some teaching for has a load of legacy hardware, among which a Dell Poweredge 1300 server. Rough specs: Pentium-III 500 MHz processor, 110 MB RAM, 3 x 9 GB SCSI disks. This thing is a dinosaur, and horribly loud, but apparently it takes a meteor strike to wipe it. I like using it for training purposes, mainly to poke fun at the Windows Server trainer, who complained that 8 GB RAM was "a bit short" to run all his various services. :o) The last time I used it, I installed Slackware 14.1 successfully on it (init 3, no GUI, various services like Dnsmasq, NTP, Samba, Squid, a LAMP stack, etc.). I wonder if that thing would be able to boot CentOS 5.11 in text mode. I vaguely remember the text mode installer requires a minimum of 128 MB RAM, but I can't seem to find some conclusive information on the subject.
