Re: [CentOS] Making custom USB install media
by Matt 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Almost. I've read that, and I can get it to work. I guess I could phrase my question as "Given that the default image for 6.6 and 7.0 do this, how do I make custom media that does it to?" When I make custom media, it only works off an actual DVD. I need help making custom media that has that USB/EFI magic in it.

Making custom USB install media
by Matt 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hey List, I apologize for how broad this may be, but hopefully someone here can help me out. I need to make custom kickstart installers to be used in the field to install microservers (Intel NUCs, EFI boot) that don't have optical drives and may not have internet connections. I can make a custom ISO just fine using the pretty common steps, specifically following what's here: http://smorgasbork.com/component/content/article/35-linux/151-building-a-cu… My custom kickstart is on the disk, and along with all my packages, and everything works great on a VM as a CD image. The problem is I can't get this to install from USB. I can get it to boot from USB using the isohybrid tool, but the installer fails, can't find the squashfs image. I don't think this is the right way to do it. I know the CentOS 7 (and I believe 6.5) images have a "special" EFI partition that I believe is why USB works with the base image. The problem is I can't really find any information on how this works or how to recreate it. When I run fdisk -l on the image (as a loopback device) I see that the main image is on a partition marked as none, and then there's an EFI partition with start and end points actually inside the first partition? I'm afraid I don't really know what this is doing, or how to go about recreating. Can anyone explain this to me or point me at some documentation? Am I missing something obvious, like say the old Revisor tool that I should be using to make my life much easier? Any help would be much appreciated, -Matt

Scope of testing done by CentOS Development Team
by Somers-Harris, David | David | OPS 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hello, What types of tests does the CentOS Development Team do for software in its repositories? Where does it get its test catalog from? I want to create a testing process which is equal to if not more rigorous that the CentOS process for any third party software we use. For example, if I install the php-mysqlnd package from the Remi repository, I want to test it just as carefully as the php-mysql package has been tested before I get it from the CentOS repository. If somebody can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks! David

When will CentOS Publish Errata?
by Somers-Harris, David | David | OPS 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hello, Currently The CentOS project publishes errata on its CentOS Announce mailing list. In order to import this into a package management system (like Katello on The Foreman), one needs to parse the mailing list and convert it into XML before importing it. This is done to some extent on http://cefs.steve-meier.de/ but some more legwork needs to be done before The Foreman can understand the errata like it does natively for RHN. I have heard rumour that The CentOS project is planning to publish Errata in the same way that Red Hat does, but I haven't been able to find anything on the Internet about this. Does anybody know if The CentOS Project has indeed declared such intention, and when they plan to do this? Side Note: Interestingly enough, I've noticed that EPEL has started to add errata data to their repositories. Thanks, David

2460x1440 video card recommendation
by Frank Cox 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Can someone recommend a video card that's capable of driving a monitor at 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 and just works with Centos 7 without requiring any outside video drivers? I would prefer to stay with the built-in video drivers that are included with Centos 7 if possible; I don't play games and such, so I'm not looking for high performance 3D -- I just want a high resolution desktop. I'm currently looking at a BenQ GW2765HT which is 2560x1440, though I might end up with something else in the end. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

CentOS 6.6 64-bit won't install on a 3 TB disk
by Gilbert Sebenste 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue getting a C6.6 install to work on a 3 TB dual hard drive system, raid 0. I'm hoping that someone here can help. So, I install as normal, but then reboot, and it comes to a grub prompt. Going into the system via Linux rescue, I see that most of the files dealing with the kernel haven't been installed. I asked the maker of the server and he said that they have noticed this happen recently. A solution is to put the kernel files on a thumb drive, and then point the OS to look for them there. I have yet to try it, but is there a better way to deal with this issue that anyone else has done?

You will see the same effect on MicroSoft Domains with users using roaming profiles. They leave one host with FF open and go to another, log on and try, vainly, to start FF in the new session. I presume this has to do with preventing destructive overwrites of the user's profile but it is annoying. Not a Linux problem though. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

socks5 server software?
by Les Mikesell 12 Jan '15

What is the state of the art for socks5 server software? I need to replace a very old proxy system. 'Yum search' and google aren't turning up any clear winners unless '3proxy' is the thing you would run on CentOS7. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
