gabber/jabber for centos 5.7?
by ken 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

I used to use jabber for chats. But I don't find it in centos 5.7 anymore. Is it still around? Or has something else taken its place? What do people using 5.7 use these days? Is there anything which handles MSN? tia.

Centos 6.2 Postfix - forward through SMTP smarthost with SMTP-AUTH
by Giles Coochey 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hi All, I have set up three servers in a development environment. Via CR they're updated to Centos 6.2 It appears that these servers have postfix installed on them by default, which unfortunately I'm not very well acquainted with. All I want is a quick and dirty way to enable these hosts to send email through my own SMTP host. My (sendmail) SMTP host uses SMTP AUTH on a non-standard port and my dev (virtual env) runs off my laptop, so a dynamic IP. Does anyone have a quick and dirty configuration for setting up postfix to forward all remote mail through my smarthost? I'm guessing that I can put the hostname, the port, and the username and password somewhere in the postfix configuration and it will just work... Many Thanks in Advance, Giles

Yet another denial - it's as though it's also blocking me based on the relationship of included text vs. new text. blah, blah, blah. Let's see if this is enough new text to get through.

So with the FAT32 partition as it was, I then deleted everything on the second partition, and copied both DVDs onto it... and it's installing even as we speak. I suppose I need to submit a revised "how to build a USB key" for CentOS 6. mark

Went to reboot with linux rescue to install grub... and the same program that mounts the iso for the install, will *not* do that for linux rescue, and it wants images/install.img in the directory.... mark "ah, consistancy"

centos6.2, parted and alignment
by John R Pierce 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

I have a large raid (lsi megaraid sas2 9261-8i card) and when I use parted to initialize it as the one big partition I want, it gives me a warning. # parted /dev/sda "mklabel gpt" Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sda will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue? Yes/No? yes # parted -a optimal /dev/sda "mkpart primary 128s -1s" Warning: You requested a partition from 65.5kB to 81.0TB. The closest location we can manage is 65.5kB to 81.0TB. Is this still acceptable to you? Yes/No? yes Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance. Ignore/Cancel? i Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. The sector size is 512b actual, the raid stripe size is 64kB, hence starting the partition on sector 128. I've tried various combinations of -a, nothing seems to help here. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast

vmware player CentOS 6 2-button 3-button touch pad with pointing device Lenovo ThinkPad
by Igor Furlan 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hi All, Question: What (how, where) I need to set (configure) to make 'middle' button on the touch pad acting as a '__paste__' button when I run LINUX (CentOS 6.2) as guest on MS Windows 7 Home premium ? Details: LENOVO T520 laptop touch pad with 3 buttons pointing device (red small mushroom) between GHB keys vmware host: MS Windows 7 Home Premium edition 64-bit vmware guest: CentoOS 6.2 64-bit vmware player version: 4.01 As you all know, on UNIX/LINUX the copy/paste function works slightly different than on MS Windows-ware. When one would like to copy&paste a text, he/she needs to do: A) press left button and move the cursor to highlight the text of interest, B) release left button and finally C) paste the contents of buffer(clipboard) with click on the middle button. Unfortunately, this function does not work on CentoOS 6 as a guest OS running on vmware player on WIN 7. In order for me to do the copy/paste, I need to A) highlight the text, B) click on right button and select 'copy' to move the highlighted text into the buffer(clipboard), C) move the cursor to the destination position, D) click the right button again and select the 'paste' function. In other words, 'copy&paste' on CentOS 6.2 works like 'copy&paste' on MS WINDOWS-ware. Is there a way to revert the 'copy&paste' functionality back to the traditional UNIX way of doing it, highlight the text with left mouse/touchpad button and paste it with the middle mouse/touchpad button. Any hint | solution | RTFM pointer | advice is more than welcome Thanks in advance Igor -- "You can't run an economy where the financial sector is making 40 percent of the profits." former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker 2009

Either the drive's bad, or I'm re-embodying a server that died, but left good drives.

If I shove it into another system, I'm *not* rebooting using it, just putting it into a spare bay; then I'll mount /dev/sd<whatever> /mnt. No problem. But this thread's gotten way OT: *does* anyone have any idea what the .img file is that the running o/s from install.img is looking for, after the partitioning, when it's ready to install? mark

SOCKS server other than ss5?
by Florin Andrei 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Anyone here using a SOCKS server? I'm using ss5 but there seems to be a strange disconnect issue with it and openvpn. While I'm trying to figure out whether ss5 is at fault, or openvpn, I'd like to try a different SOCKS server. Could you recommend one that works well on CentOS? Thanks. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
