Centos 6.5 problems with UEFI PXE and GRUB
by Roman, John D. 16 May '14

16 May '14

Greetings, Im having issues booting UEFI PXE Centos 6.5 using Grub. Ive followed the configuration specifications in the documentation and yet my install always seems to hang past the grub menu at [Linux, EFI ...] Ive added ksdevice=bootif and APPENDIP 2 to ensure the proper nic is selected however this does not prevent the hang. Im not making it to the repo as evidenced in apache logs either. _____________________________________________________________ This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.

Set static IP
by Joseph Hesse 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hello, I want my CentOS 6.5 computer to have a static IP. Currently I get the IP I want because I have my router assign it on the basis of mac address. I placed the following file as: /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/eth0 DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:1F:D0:9E:AE:67 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=192.168.0.99 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 NM_CONTROLLED=no I also disabled Network Manager with chkconfig. It didn't work. When I rebooted I had no IP address for eth0. Should I leave all the other scripts in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts unchanged? Suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Joe

Virtualising legacy CentOS 4.x servers
by Simon Banton 16 May '14

16 May '14

Dear all, I look after a number of CentOS 4.x servers running legacy applications that depend on ancient versions of various things (such as MySQL 3.x) and which can't be upgraded without non-trivial development effort. I've been considering virtualising them and as a test have been trialling with a company that uses Parallels Cloud Server 6. However, I've run into a roadblock in that the Parallels Tools installer in PCS6 require a version of glibc higher than that which is available in CentOS 4.x (v2.5 required versus v2.3.4 installed). Without the guest OS tools installed it's impossible to migrate a VM from node to node or back it up without shutting the VM down first, which is less than useful. So I have two questions: 1) Does anyone know if there is a version of the PCS6 Tools built against glibc 2.3.4 available anywhere? 2) Is there an alternative virtualisation environment I should be looking at which fully supports CentOS 4.x as a guest OS? And if so, does anyone have recommendations for a hosting supplier that offers that environment (ideally UK based). Many thanks Simon

Fwd: For the CentOS list: rkhunter and NFS
by Les Mikesell 15 May '14

15 May '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <m.roth(a)5-cent.us> Date: Thu, May 15, 2014 at 3:40 PM Subject: For the CentOS list: rkhunter and NFS To: lesmikesell(a)gmail.com Hi, Les, Could you forward this to the CentOS list? That damn nixspam is blocking my hosting provider's mailhost *again*; it was on and off yesterday, and today it won't even let me remove it, and that was after I emailed my hosting provider yesterday.... Having an issue with rkhunter; now, my user's running debian, but I should think this would be configurable on any distro: rkhunter's started complaining about a missing file... which is in his home directory, which is NFS mounted. What it says is that two files don't exist, but are in its d/b. I'm on his system, he's logged on now, and they're there. Now, I'm not sure it *should* be scanning nfs-mounted directories. Certainly I, among others, log out at night (this runs in the middle of the night), and it doesn't complain on any other systems. One last thing: he's one of my most-knowledgeable users, and when he updates the system, he assures me he always runs rkhunter --propupd, so we're both confused. Any ideas? mark PS And if the CentOS *MUST* use nixspam, which I am *very* strongly of the opinion that we can find something better, is there no way to whitelist regular posters? Certainly, when we created a Big Eight newsgroup, back in '93? '94? we allowed for that....

vi : unable to copy text to other file
by Johan Vermeulen 15 May '14

15 May '14

Hello All, I'm trying to use vi commands instead of using the mouse. I open Gnome-Terminal I open a file : vi /home/jvermeulen/.ssh/id_dsa.pub I select the key with " V " ( visual line ) I type " y " to yank the selected line. I can now use :e otherfile.txt and paste the text in otherfile.txt This is the only way I succeed in copying text to another file in Gnome-Terminal of xterm. But how can I copy text to a file on a remote machine? Many thanks. -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen(a)cawdekempen.be Powered by Linux.

Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: Failed to contact configuration server
by Wade Hampton 15 May '14

15 May '14

I just updated and rebooted a VM host server which runs CentOS 6.5/x86_64. After rebooting, I can't start the virtual-manager due to the error: Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ [^] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-Q6...: Connection refused). I have tried: service messagebus restart service libvirtd restart If I manually start dbus, it works and I can run my VMs: dbus-launch --exit-with-session virt-manager Any ideas on how to fix this? -- Wade Hampton
