How to update MySQL with CentOS 6 in most unintrusive way - in regard to perl and PHP packages
by Alexander Farber 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Dear fellow CentOS users, for my few hobby projects (web games + forums) I have been using CentOS 5 (then 6) with Drupal and PostgreSQL plus few custom PHP and Perl scripts written by mysef. Since PostgreSQL version delivered with CentOS package has been a bit dated, I always used the PGDG packages: # rpm -qa | grep -i pgdg pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch postgresql93-9.3.5-1PGDG.rhel6.i686 postgresql93-libs-9.3.5-1PGDG.rhel6.i686 postgresql93-server-9.3.5-1PGDG.rhel6.i686 As a web developer this has been a very pleasant experience, since (by some great magic) all the other CentOS packages (like php-pgsql and perl-DBD-Pg) just worked with the PGDG packages. Now I have decided to switch to WordPress for my new projects and am (sadly) forced to switch the database too: I have to use MySQL or MariaDB with CentOS 6.5. So my question is: if anybody can recommend a similarly comfortable package repository for MySQL/MariaDB - which wouldn't mess up any other CentOS packages and which would update itself (with "yum update"). And please do not suggest something like Fedora or EPEL repositories, because other than for MySQL/MariaDB I would like not to add any additional packages to have my server as "stable" as possible. Thank you for any hints Alex

[OT] Leveno HDD caddies
by James B. Byrne 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

This is very off topic but, I have no idea where else to ask. We obtained some used Leveno CTO7483 desktop units for experimentation. I had intended to install CentOS-7 on one of them. As they arrived with a vendor upgraded Windows 7ProSP1 install without media I decided to pull the disk drive and install onto a spare drive that I installed. Those of you with any experience with this model computer or its family can tell where this is going. Basically, the disk drive module for these things is disposable. The HDD is enclosed in a removable caddy but is welded to it. You can only replace the HDD with a pre-mounted HDD in yet another caddy, which item is available only from Leveno. My question is: Does anyone here know of a source for an after-market caddy that fits these machines ad which allows one to install a standard low profile 3.5 inch SATA HDD? My google-fu has failed in my attempts, but that may becuse I have no idea how to phrase a search for this situation. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Re: [CentOS] UC reset CentOS-7 lost root password
by Rushton Martin 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

A live DVD or memory stick version of any recent Linux distro will allow you to boot. You can then mount the original disk as, say, /mnt. Go to /mnt/etc and edit the root password to be null or cut-and-paste a known password in. Reboot and set it. >Hie > >I lost my CentOS 7 root password, so I tried booting the OS in single user mode >but it prompts me for the root password when the system boots, > >Any ideas? > >Regards > >Bonnie This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.

What's the point of 'service mysqld reload'?
by Martin Božič 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, I've been looking at /etc/init.d/mysql init script and saw that 'reload' spits out just 'exit 3' and doesn't actually do anything else. I'm talking here about stock MySQL on CentOS 6.5. What's the reason to do this? It seems quite misleading! Regards, Martin

don't use centos 7 as a developer workstation
by Farkas Levente 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hi, May be it's not clear to everyone.. so this's just a quick notice to everyone. Don't use CentOS 7 as a developer workstation since currently there is not included any developer IDE. As eclipse was pulled out from the main distro and put into Red Hat Developer Toolset (which is imho a good idea not to use a 7 years old IDE). But Red Hat Developer Toolset is still not supported on rhel7 this means currently you have to install eclipse and all other packages from RHDT. Anyway RH said it will be supported... Regards. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Multi-Seat using Thin Clients
by Aaron Siegel 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hello I have been wanting to set up a multi-seat system built around my linux desktop. Several years ago I set up a multi-seat system using X11. It difficult to setup and cause many different system errors. My new desktop supports VT-d but the VGA passthru is still too experimental for me at this point. I have looked at the USB display link but sounds like there is a performance issue with Linux driver. I would prefer a Ethernet based thin client. I want to setup one or two thin clients that will connect to my Centos desktop for my home. Does anyone have any suggestion. At this point I will be satisfied with Linux terminals maybe windows in the future but I think there are some licensing issues. I have been prefer KVM for vitalization over xen. Thank you Aaron
