mouse scroll-wheel side-click configuration?
by fred smith 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Still googling, no joy so far (though I'm not giving up yet). Can anyone point me to a resource that may help me figure out how to make the side-clicks of the scroll wheel on a logitech mouse do something useful? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

hard disk install failure
by Timothy Murphy 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Has anybody successfully installed CentOS- I tried (several times) installing CentOS-5.6 from a hard disk, and each time it failed after installing all the rpms, with the warning "The installation has tried to mount image #2, but cannot find it on the hard drive." When I pressed the Debug button one time after the failure, it seemed to say that it was looking for the file in /dev/sdb7//ext2/ (/dev/sdb7 being the site of the DVD ISO). But I'm not sure what "image #2" is? Or where it should be put? Incidentally, I started by copying isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img to the the directory CentOS-5.6 in the /boot parition of a working linux (Fedora) system, and adding the stanza ---------------------------- title CentOS-5.6 root (hd0,1) kernel /CentOS-5.6/vmlinuz repo=hd:/dev/sdb5:/ initrd /CentOS-5.6/initrd.img ---------------------------- The repo option was ignored, and I was asked if I wanted to install by FTP, from Hard Disk, etc. In the end I installed by http from my web-server, after mount -o loop CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso /var/www/html/ on the server . This worked faultlessly, and seems to be by far the easiest way to install CentOS or Fedora if a local web-server is available. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

text-mode system and /media
by Kenneth Porter 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

I'm running a headless server, so no GUI, just ssh logins. I don't seem to have the mechanism that automounts USB drives to a subdirectory of /media, and from googling around I think that's a feature of a GUI-based system. What implements it? Right now I manually create a mountpoint in /mnt and then manually mount by label from /dev/disk/by-label after plugging the drive in. It would be convenient if the drive automounted when plugged in.

Grep: show me this line and the next N lines?
by Dotan Cohen 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Can grep show the matching lines and the next N lines after a match? For instance, I have a config file wit hthe following text: [Tag h1] foreground=#2e5a03 underline=double indent=0 weight=PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD scale=2.25 I would ideally grep on "[Tag h1]" and have grep display the match and the next 5 lines so that I see all the content of the h1 section. Can this be done? Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com

Problem changing server on a LAN
by Timothy Murphy 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

I'm having great difficulty trying to change server on my home LAN. At present 192.168.2.2 is my server, running CentOS-5.6 and connecting to an ADSL modem. I want to change server to another CentOS machine, 192.168.2.5 . The problem is that I cannot get the computers on the system to forget the old server, even when it is completely disconnected, and the new server is connected to the modem. It seems extraordinarily difficult to get rid of the link to the old server. Even when all the machines are re-booted they still want to give 192.168.2.2 as their default gateway. Is this a problem often met in this kind of situation? I'm wondering if it would be simpler to give the old address to the new server? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
