Shutdown CentOS VM when closing VMWare Workstation
by Alexander Farber 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hello, I'm using CentOS 5.5 / 16bit as a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation and have installed the "VMWare Tools" by running vmware-install.pl and vmware-config-tools.pl but can't figure out how to make the VM shutdown, when I shutdown the Windows PC hosting it. Does anybody please have any hints or scripts? Do I need to use any VMWare modules if I just want to shutdown the VM? Surprisingly I haven't found any good starters on the web yet Thank you Alex PS: Here is what I have in /usr/local # ls /usr/local/bin/ vm-support vmware-toolbox vmware-user vmware-config-tools.pl vmware-toolbox-cmd vmware-user-wrapper vmware-hgfsclient vmware-uninstall-tools.pl vmware-xferlogs # ls /usr/local/sbin/ vmtoolsd vmware-checkvm vmware-rpctool vmware-tools-upgrader # ls /usr/local/lib/vmware-tools/modules/binary/bld-2.6.18-8.el5-i686PAE-RHEL5/objects/ pvscsi.o vmblock.o vmci.o vmhgfs.o vmmemctl.o vmsync.o vmxnet3.o vmxnet.o vsock.o ( <--- not sure if that's the relevant dir) # rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.11.1.el5 # /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep -i vmware vmware-tools 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off # sudo lsmod | grep vm vmblock 20512 3 vmmemctl 16956 0 vmci 38308 1 vsock vmxnet3 37764 0 vmxnet 24836 0

LARTC and CentOS question
by Coert Waagmeester 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hello all, Got myself the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic control book http://lartc.org/howto/ All the commands in the guide do not survive reboots. Could someone point me in the right direction, where I can find CentOS/Redhat specific documentation on the whole /etc/sysconfig/network* setup? Kind regards, Coert Waagmeester

Re: [CentOS] Interpreting logwatch
by John Doe 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

From: Timothy Murphy <gayleard(a)eircom.net> > Every few days I see in the logwatch on my Centos-5.5 web-server > what seems like a rather feeble break-in attempt. > Eg today I see I get proxy scans and phpmyadmin (and others) vulnerabilities scans everyday... They just get 404s in return... You can check the IPs in apache error_log In the beginning I was reporting them to their ISPs but, with the high numbers of daily scans, I just gave up... Either they are part of a botnet (so clueless users infected pcs), or they are abroad (Asia) and the ISP will just mostly ignore your email... Maybe just make sure your set apache ServerSignature to Off... One annoying "bug" about logwatch is that it does not cope with the lack of year in yum.log dates, so it will happily report packages installs from last years as if it just happened... JD

GPL question
by Kevin Kempter 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi All; I have a GPL question - sorry if it's way off topic. We're pushing on a system that collects a variety of data points and pulls them into a single report. One of the modules we use is a 3rd party tool that generates an html report which equates to one of the pages on the report that's then delivered to the customer. In this scenario is the code that generates all the other modules/pages of the report subject to the GPL as well? Thanks in advance

metafont on CentOS 5?
by Todd Denniston 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Can someone hit me with the appropriate clue-by-4? is there an available package for CentOS5 which provides the metafont command, or a replacement? What is the name and which repo? please. I have a font bundle I need to use (which is not provided in an RPM that I can find), but metafont does not seem to be available. tetex provides the /usr/share/texmf/metafont directory structure, but not a */bin/metafont... Thanks. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

Anyone Having Any Luck Downloaing the DVD ISO?
by Chuck 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I've been trying for 2 weeks to download the dvd iso torrent... Shows a ton of seeders, few leechers, but very poor performance.. (I'm correctly setup for torrents and get fast downloads normally) Only like 4% downloaded and crawling. I've tried the trackers from every one of the mirror sites. I can't use the net install because the systems I am installing are on a closed network. Anyone have any ideas where else to get this or any suggestions? Thx, R

Wrapper package / yum repository
by Gabriel Tabares 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, I am setting up a yum repository for our applications and I am having a bit of trouble. I copy the files to a webserver, run createrepo and then configure the servers to use it. One of the RPMs is a "release" package that includes exact versions of all the binary and configuration files as dependencies so we can do "packaged releases" and, if we want to revert to a previous version, we can force it by installing this package (and the yum-downgrade plugin). The issue I am having is that RPM/yum seems to be unable to correctly resolve the dependencies: If I do "yum install adm-release" I get errors about lots of missing dependencies. EG: [root@host01 yum.repos.d]# yum install adm-release Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package adm-release.noarch 0:1-1 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: adm-app-conf-18-2010.09.01 for package: adm-release --> Processing Dependency: ant-1.8.1-1 for package: adm-release --> Processing Dependency: jdk-1.6.0_20-2.0 for package: adm-release .... --> Finished Dependency Resolution adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: jdk-1.6.0_20-2.0 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: adm-app-conf-18-2010.09.01 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: ant-1.8.1-1 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) adm-release-1-1.noarch from myrepo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: geosweep-libquantis-0.1.0-1.1 is needed by package adm-release-1-1.noarch (myrepo) ....

I am quite baffled and would like to get this to work as soon as possible. Thanks Gabriel

memcached - epel vs. rpmforge?
by Les Mikesell 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Does anyone know how the epel and rpmforge packages for memcached differ? I installed the rpmforge version some time ago before epel had it and now it looks like there are some conflicts in dependencies. Should it be transparent to the clients to switch to the epel package? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Update to base release
by John Kennedy 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hello All, We have some machines running CentOS 4 Update 4 (4.4). We want to update these boxes to the stock CentOS 4 Update 8 (4.8). We have the 4.8 iso images. Is it possible to use up2date and have it use the 4.8 mounted iso images on a remote (install) server as the repository? The ISO's are accessible through http. These servers are remote with no CD/DVD option to upgrade that way. I have tried to Google this but can't seem to quite hit what I need. I found one that shows up2date-config GUI setup but I do not have X running on this server and do not want to screw up the config with the CLI version of it. We need to go to stock versions to match our production RHEL 4.8 machines. Thanks, John -- John Kennedy

by James Hogarth 07 Sep '10

Hi all, I have a Centos server exporting a filesystem via NFSv4 and from my Ubuntu desktop I can mount it specifying the nfs version as 4 fine and read/write data. >From another Centos system trying to mount this exported filesystem results in "mount.nfs4: Cannot allocate memory" every time. Been banging my head against the wall for a while now... Anyone have any ideas? James
