copying data to CF card
by Jerry Geis 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi all, under centos 5 x86_64 - I was able to run fdisk to partition a CF card, make the filesystem, copy data to the filesystem, run grub from an x86_64 system to make the CF card bootable with grub. That all worked fine. Now since switching to centos 6 x86_64 I run the exact same script to program the CF card and when I insert that CF card into the end device I get a Grub error 2. I thought maybe a bad CF card... I tried 4 more times with 4 different CF cards. Same result Grub error 2. I then thought to try going back to centos 5 and try it with one of the 4 CF cards that did not work. It works under centos 5. What might be happening here???? I can use fdisk after the script and see the partitions, I can mount the partition all files are there, Running grub gives no errors. Just at boot I get "error 2". Thanks, Jerry

Re: [CentOS] [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-5.7 i386 and x86_64
by James A. Peltier 14 Sep '11

Any reason why 5 is not a symlink to 5.7 whereas 4 is a symlink to 4.8? Looks like the same applies to 6!?! ----- Original Message ----- | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- | Hash: SHA1 | | We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.7 | for | i386 and x86_64 Architectures. | | CentOS-5.7 is based on the upstream release EL 5.7 and includes | packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream | repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end | users to work with. | | This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release | Notes for CentOS-5.7 can be found on-line at : | http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.7 and everyone is | encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are | the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ | | +++++++++++++++++++++++ | Upgrading from CentOS-5.6 ( or CentOS-5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5): | | If you are already running CentOS-5.6 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all | you need to do is update your machine via yum by running : | | 'yum update' | | Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so | you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check | you are indeed on CentOS-5.7, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that | should return: 'centos-release-5-7.el5.centos.1' | | If you are running CentOS-5.6 and have the CR repo enabled, a simple | 'yum update' will still move your machine to 5.7. But since the CR | repo | already contained all the 5.7 updates, there will only be a handful of | rpms that need to be installed for the 5.6 to 5.7 upgrade. If you are | not running the CR repo, we highly encourage everyone to install and | run | this repository on their machines. More details on the CR repo can be | found online at | http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR | | +++++++++++++++++++++++ | Downloading CentOS-5.7 for new installs: | | When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only | does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high | bandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest | means | to download the distro. There are currently over a hundred people | seeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via | these torrents. | | - -- Via BitTorrent : | CD: | http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/i386/CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torr… | http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.… | | DVD: | http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/i386/CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torre… | http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.t… | | md5sum's for these torrent files: | | 8e29e525f45c4a7b3a963cc01ec3459a CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torrent | 32c9e0826b50d6be44823523be403c7f CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent | 795d6c11b5ef8907653360af52b9f317 CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torrent | 04c563f2c838bf6b255fcc5fcc18cf66 CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent | | sha1sum's for these torrent files: | | 8a945ba89b03328480fde20eaa0b638ceb7f4509 | CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torrent | b1a18ba25e77543c4df9078dfafba990fbd58601 | CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent | d3c4ed0d14fe1873bbcee931224e5e8819f779dc | CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torrent | 302850dd4f9a8198b303f872c83a5a16ec1c40c2 | CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent | | | While torrent files will do their own content checks, and only the | right | torrent will register and download from torrent.centos.org - its very | important for your own security that an md5/sha1sum check is done on | the | .torrent file itself, and ensure that only the torrent.centos.org | tracker is being used.

Missing ipa-server package on centos6?
by Armin Herbert 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi, I can't seem to find the ipa-server package in centos 6; it is not available on my favourite mirrors, nor do the release notes mention its absence. Has it been overlooked when assembling the distribution? Thanks & best wishes Armin

No MySQL password in ps aux!
by Dotan Cohen 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I just noticed that some CentOS 4 or 5 machine that I don't admin but have root access to hides MySQL passwords from ps: Console 1: $ mysql -u root -pSECRET mysql > Console2: # ps aux root 32165 0.0 0.1 109408 2204 pts/1 Ss+ 11:19 0:00 mysql -u root -px xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx That is really nice, is it a MySQL feature or a CentOS feature? I have some other servers that I _do_ admin and I'd like to enable this. Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com

CentOS 6: "ip link" ignores wlan0
by Michael D. Berger 14 Sep '11

On my CentOS 6 laptop, in which the wireless hardware is known to be functional (because it works in the WinXP partition): # ip link shows lo and eth0, but nothing else. Why might this be? Thanks, Mike.

Vitualization and Partitioning
by Thomas Dukes 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hello, OK, getting ready to order a new machine and had some questions about 6.0. It will have a single 500GB HD. When I do the install, do I or should I setup a separate partition for guest OS's? From the redhat docs, it looks like the guest OS's reside at /var/lib/libvirt/images/. I may combine my windoze XP on the CentOS machine so would I need to create a partition and format that at installation? If I decide to wait and go with Windoze 7 can I still create the partition later? I would like a partition scheme that allows for easier upgrades or installs without losing data. Thanks, I'm more confused now that when I started reading about this stuf.. Eddie

I have installed the following 2 packages on Centos 5.6, and used GParted to successfully create an 8GB NTFS partition, on some unused HDD space. Installed Packages Name : ntfsprogs Arch : i386 Version : 1.13.1 Release : 6.el5 Size : 1.1 M Repo : installed Summary : NTFS filesystem libraries and utilities URL : http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ Name : ntfsprogs-gnomevfs Arch : i386 Version : 1.13.1 Release : 6.el5 Size : 20 k Repo : installed Summary : NTFS GNOME virtual filesystem module URL : http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ I'm running Xfce 4, and when I try to mount the NTFS file system, I get an error box with 'ntfs - unknown filetype' I've done a complete reboot of this box. Are there some packages I have missing?
