how do I download pictures from a dumb phone?
by Michael Hennebry 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

How do I download pictures from a dumb phone? I have a Samsung phone I bought at a Walmart. According the the front, it worships Verizon. Beyond that, I'm not at all sure what kind. If I use a real USB connector to connect it to my PC, CentOS sees it as a character special device. What, if anything, I can do with that device, I do not know. I've not found any settings related to USB. In case it helps, from menu->settings->phone info: S/W V. U365.GG01 H/W V.

Networking Question
by Alice Wonder 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello, I may have opportunity to obtain a Intel EXPI9404PTLBLK PRO/1000 PT Quad Port ethernet adapter at a significantly reduced price. What I would like to do with it, I want to make sure it is possible and sane before I buy it. -=- Device sits in CentOS box that connects directly to Internet via onboard network adapter. It pretty much only acts as a NAT router + dhcp server + unbound recursive DNS for the private networks. The four ethernet interfaces on the Intel adapter then : Private Network A: 192.168.10.0/24 Private Network B: 192.168.20.0/24 Private Network C: 192.168.30.0/24 Private Network D: 192.168.40.0/24 A will have a NAS. I can reach it from Internet (via port forwarding) and B and C (routing table) but from it, I can not connect to Internet or B, C, D. That network which likely will only have a few devices can not initiate connection to Internet or the other networks. B is my trusted home network. It can connect to Internet (NAT) and to A (port forwarding) but can not reach C or D C is untrusted home network. Things like my TV and Bluray player that need Internet access but that I don't want to have the ability to reach anything on B, but I do want them to be able to talk to NAS on A via port forwarding. I'm always paranoid about those devices on my network, I don't trust what they are doing. Call it tin foil but I don't trust them. Yet they don't work right without access to Internet (updates / netflix) D when used is network for guests (will have cheap wifi attached), it only talks to Internet via straight NAT and can not talk to private networks A, B, C -=- Is this sane ?

The only thing that RedHat has ever done with my bug reports is point me to the upstream projects to have it fixed/altered/added there. They will however, occasionally accept some nudges about updating software that the upstream project has already released. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

LDAP setup on Centos 7
by Gary Stainburn 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

I am trying to get LDAP working on my mail server for both user authentication and addressbook purposes. I have tried the tutorials on both http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_7&p=openldap&f=1 and http://albanianwizard.org/ubuntu-10-0-4-lucid-lynx-ldap-configuration-the-w… (The second one is for Ubuntu, but claimed to be a complete and working demo) However, when I try to last part of each of these tutorials I get the following. ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=ringways,dc=com -W -f /tmp/dit.ldif Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) Note: in the server-world one I tried using "dc=ringways,dc=com" as well as leaving it as "dc=server,dc=world" but it didn't seem to make any difference. After each attempt I reset everything using the following script. [root@ollie2 ~]# cat reset_ldap.sh #!/bin/bash -x systemctl stop slapd rpm -e openldap-servers openldap-clients cd /var/lib rm -Rf ldap cd /etc/openldap/ rm -Rf slapd.d/ yum -y install openldap-servers openldap-clients cp /usr/share/openldap-servers/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG systemctl start slapd slaptest -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d [root@ollie2 ~]# Do I need to do anything else, as it would appear that there is something I'm missing.

I am pleased to announce that the majority of the requested versions are now available. Users can now simple install Gluster on CentOS 6 and 7 with only these two commands: # yum install centos-release-gluster # yum install glusterfs-server The centos-release-gluster content comes from the centos-release-gluster37 package delivered via CentOS Extras repos. This contains all the metadata and dependancy information, needed to install Gluster 3.7. For people looking at running Gluster 3.6, we will soon also release a centos-release-gluster36 package. In order to get this version, substitute the step-1 mentioned above with : yum install centos-release-gluster36. A new announcement will be posted once this content has been tested and released. We have a quickstart guide specifically built around the packages we are releasing today, it makes for a good introduction to Gluster and will help get you started in just a few simple steps, this quick start is available at https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/gluster-Quickstart More details about the packages that the Gluster project provides in the Storage SIG is available in the documentation: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster The centos-release-gluster* repositories offer additional packages that enhance the usability of Gluster itself. Users can request additional tools and applications to be provided, just send us an email with your suggestions. The current list of packages that is (planned to become) available can be found here: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster/Ecosystem-pkgs Gluster is the first project that provides packages through the Storage SIG. Other projects are in the process to do so too. General information about the SIG can be read in the wiki: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage We welcome all feedback, comments and contributions. You can get in touch with the CentOS Storage SIG on the centos-devel mailing list ( https://lists.centos.org ) and with the Gluster developer and user communities at https://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo , we are also available on irc at #gluster on irc.freenode.net, and on twitter at @gluster . Cheers, Niels de Vos Storage SIG member & Gluster maintainer

Does anaconda serve any purpose after installation?
by Frank Cox 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Is there any reason or need to keep anaconda around after a system is up and running, or would "yum remove anaconda" be a good idea? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

C7: How to configure raid at install time
by Fred Smith 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi all! I'm still on C6. I'm using a RAID1 configuration (Linux software RAID) and I'd like to either use the same one, or possibly configure it on new drives (larger) when I upgrade to C7. (I'm really feeling the need to move off C6.) But it isn't at all obvious how one would do a new RAID1 setup in Anaconda, and I don't find any user reports or other info on this in the WIKI or forums (fora, properly, if I recall my high school Latin). Can anyone provide (or give pointers to) a good recipe for doing this? thanks! Fred -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know?

install rrdtools-devel / rrdtool-perl
by Leandro 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi guys , Im have some problems installing the following packages: rrdtool-devel rrdtool-perl Before we moved to centos/rhel7 it was a simple task, just doing: yum install rrdtool rrdtool-devel and rrdtool-perl was enough. Now, I only can install the rrdtool package but not rrdtool-devel and rrdtool-perl. I tryed adding some repos, but I think I added wrong ones. Also tryed downloading and installing packages with rpm -ivh but there is allwais a missing dependence. Can you help me ? Thanks.

OT: bareos, Windoze, beating head on wall
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Again, I'm posting here because when I tried their mailing list, I didn't get much response. I'm trying to do a restore, from my CentOS 6 box, to a WinDoze box. The restore command is *not* user-friendly if you just want to restore a few files. And it gets weird.... First, I have to mark my path first - I don't just see it with ls. Then, when I do an ls, in c:/Users/<username/Documents/, it shows *MATLAB *My Music *My Pictures *My Videos *Visual Studio 2005/ *Visual Studio 2008/ *desktop.ini *None* of which are there. All that's there are teo files, testfile.bak and testfile.txt. MATLAB is in some other user's directory.... Here's the fileset spec from bareos-dir.conf FileSet { Name = "citdcbhebronset" Include { Options { Signature = MD5 # calculate md5 checksum per file Ignore Case = yes } File = "c:/Users" } } Anyone have any clue as to what I'm doing wrong? Googling - a lot of it - gives me 90% the bareos docs, and very little else. mark
