upgrading Centos-Xen when version 6 comes along
by Dave Stevens 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

I am curious what is the best way to upgrade my dom0 and domUs to V.6 (currently 5) when it releases. Any experience or docs on this? Dave -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Krishnamurti

Recycle Bin disappeared (GNOME, CentOS 5.5, 32 bit)
by Lanny Marcus 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Probably this is due to operator error, The Recycle Bin in GNOME disappeared, for this CentOS 5.5 (32 bit) Desktop PC. The box is fully updated. Is there a command I can use, or another procedure, to get the Recycle Bin in GNOME working again? The .trash folder is there. Incredibly rare that I use the KDE Desktop, but it is also installed on this box and the Trash folder (like the Recycle Bin on GNOME) is working perfectly, so this seems to be something I've done to GNOME.

Ipv6 addr with Vlan-Id - unable to ping neighbour
by Rohit Mediratta 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi All, If I have a vlan-Id on an interface with an ipv6 address, then I am unable to ping a real router. The problem is that the Neighbour Solicitation originated from the Centos machine is missing the Vlan-Id in the packet. Therefore a real router will drop such a packet. I have tried this with Centos 4.7 and with Centos 5.5 with the same result. If I originate the first Neighbour Solicitation from the Router (which contains the Vlan-Id), then Linux learns the Mac address correctly and bidirectional ping works. This is a workaround that I am using at the moment, but I would like to avoid doing this all the time (especially when there is a timeout of the neighbour information). This problem does not exist for Ipv4 (i.e. ARP packets originated from Centos contain the Vlan-Id as expected). Here is my topology.

MacBook Pro and CentOS-5
by James B. Byrne 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

After a long, and quite disheartening, series of hardware problems with my HP laptop I decided to try out a Mac (late 2009 Intel based 19.5 inch). In the months since January past I have discovered this to be no significant improvement and I have grown tired of the persistent wireless connectivity problems and am totally put off by the upgrade to OSX-10.6.4 which killed HD graphics using Open-Gl. Since July, trying to use HD on my Mac now blackens half the screen and then locks the system. I am contemplating wiping the system and installing CentOS-5.5 instead. Before my frustration leads me to run straight on into a wall, what can I expect to NOT work on the Macbook if I do this? I do need wireless, albeit I really cannot say that I have it now. I also dearly would like to get back HD graphics as well. Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

How to stop automount
by Dick Roth 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I just put a USB hard drive into service, but find that unless the drive is connected to my PC the machine won't boot and drops to a shell. Below is the line I added to fstab. I thought that the option "noauto" would prevent the machine from trying to mount the drive /dev/sdb /usbdrive ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 2 What am I doing wrong? Any advice is welcome. Dick -- Yes indeed...the Hokey Pokey *is* what its all about!

IDE port test card
by Keith Roberts 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I was looking for something to test the IDE ports on my mobo, and came across this item: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PC-Desktop-LPT-IDE-Printer-Port-Analyzer-Tester-Check… Has anybody on the list seen or used anything like this before? I was also wondering if the IDE port tests OK, could I test a HDD cable by plugging that into the port, then putting this tester at the end of the cable? Kind Regards, Keith Roberts -- In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not. This email was sent from my laptop with Centos 5.5

good shell script examples?
by Kill Script 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I am looking for a beginner guide to shell scripting simple tasks on CentOS (e.g. ssh'ing into a server / router / switch, checking for certain things, then exiting and going to the next IP). Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? (I'm relatively new to bash)

Snag installing CentOS in a VirtualBox VM
by Mark 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I spent most of the evening trying to boot a new install of CentOS in a VirtualBox VM. The VM recognizes the install DVD, runs it, asks for me to boot it and I type in <return> (or any number of other combinations, all of which fail in exactly the same way) and it continues to run up to the point shown in the attached screenshot. I've tried numerous different combinations of device alternatives, even turned off the virtual NIC, and no joy. I tried marking it as a Red Hat Linux and as Other Linux - same results. I know this isn't a VB forum, but I'm just wondering.... Thanks. Mark
