I installed CentOS-7 on an HP MicroServer
from a KDELiveCD (on a USB stick),
and it ran OK for a couple of days;
but yesterday it wouldn't reboot -
the dots went round the circle indefinitely,
and when I clicked on Ctrl-Alt-Delete it said
"[OK] Reached target Initrd Default Target".
There didn't seem to be any way to reboot
except to press the power button.
I tried running the rescue kernel,
but that didn't help.
I tried installing the netinstall iso on a USB stick,
and choosing the repair option -
this ran ok, and I was able to run grub2-install,
but this failed to boot as before.
I'm wondering if there is anything else I could do
to resuscitate the system?
Fortunately, I kept the old 6.5 system in another partition,
which I am using now.

I tried dd-ing the ISO onto a USB stick, as suggested in
<http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7>,
but it didn't boot.
Did anyone have better luck with this?
In any case, I got it working by running livecd-iso-to-disk
on a Fedora-20 laptop.
I've found before that this is the best program around
for the purpose.
But I've 2 queries about this:
1. Why isn't this program available on CentOS?
2. I find it strange the using a USB stick
seems to be regarded as an out-of-the-ordinary idea.
Are people still burning CDs or DVDs? And if so why?
I would have thought the time had come
to make USB sticks the standard installation method?
Certainly it should be treated on a par with DVDs.
I have two HP MicroServers running under CentOS,
and these don't come with a DVD drive.
I assumed this was becoming more or less standard?

Awhile ago I've set up a backup of my C6 home server to a D-Link NAS and
it seems to be working.
But when I mount a share with the backups I can't see files or
directories not readable by others.
I'm not very knowledgeable in cifs and probably missing some obvious
options.
noserverino option suggested on ubuntu forums didn't help.
TIA

End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 113, Issue 6
***********************************************
Hi users of EL6 based distributions,
I'm pleased to announce a new alternative binary package repository
for EL6 x86_64. The aim is to provide a supplemental set of packages
which may contain software not included in your base system.
These packages are based on pkgsrc, a cross-platform package manager.
In this initial release there are 13,152 packages available. For now
I am specifically targetting EL6/x86_64 (the build host is CentOS 6.5)
to see what kind of interest in this. If there is reasonable interest
I can produce packages for other targets based on popularity.
To install, download and unpack the bootstrap kit:
$ curl -s http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Linux/bootstrap/bootstrap-2014Q2-el6-x86_… | sudo tar -zxpf - -C /
Packages are self-contained under the /usr/pkg prefix:
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/pkg/bin
$ MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/pkg/man
Included is the "pkgin" binary package manager, which has been
designed to operate similar to yum/apt-get:
# Fetch latest database
$ sudo pkgin update
# Search for a package
$ pkgin search tmux
# Install it
$ sudo pkgin install tmux
# See what is available
$ pkgin avail | less
Further details and similar binary package sets for SmartOS/illumos
and OSX can be found here:
http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/
Feedback is highly appreciated! Let me know if there is anything we
can do to improve these packages, or if they are unwelcome. You can
email me or @jperkin, or alternatively get involved in the pkgsrc
community - our aim is to provide cross-platform packages for over 20
different operating systems from the same source tree.
Thanks,

Ok, we can take both but needs to be in a specific order. So, we have
two ethernet interfaces, A and B. And both are defined in
/etc/systemd/network/ to use dhcp. How to guarantee that the crap
provided by dhcp to A (dns, gateway, ntp) is the default? To use an
example, /etc/resolv.conf should end up like
nameserver IP.for.A.DNS
nameserver IP.for.B.DNS
domain A.domain.com
Now, this must be done using only systemd stuff

Greetings! I tried installing CentOS v7 (1406) to an old spare
machine, and the video card apparently don't play well with X. It is
incorrectly saying that either monitor I connect is only able to
support 640x480, when one is 1024x768 and the other supports a higher
(but now forgotten) resolution. In no way do I expect a fix to be
added just to support my antique. :)
What I'd like to find, or have added to future CentOS installation
discs, is a way to force the GUI resolution. Alternately, if nothing
below 800x600 will show the GUI properly perhaps the installer should
just forcibly set that as the minimum, no matter what the hardware
claims to allow?
Details of the hardware and such follow, let me know if you need more.
=-=-=-=-=-=
Under the normal boot from the normal DVD, graphics-mode output is
discolored and squashed to the left of the display. In the "Basic
Graphics" troubleshooting mode the output is clear and proper, but
still just 640x480.
Server: Gateway E-9422R
Video card: Matrox Graphics MGA G200e, PCI 102b:0522
I captured the output of lspci, dmidecode, /tmp, and /var/log in both
Normal and Basic Graphics boot modes. The file is 1,692,776 bytes and
has the following SHA1 checksum:
f9cd800ced963e29d0bb3e4381596dc3b61a4c4c
