Ultrabook for CentOS?
by Nux! 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hello, I need to buy an ultrabook. Any recommendations for something that would work out of the box more or less? I do not want a Chromebook (or anything ARM) or one of these new "touch" laptops, in fact I'm after a nice matte screen. Budget is modest-ish (£500/$800) so dont go crazy. :) Thanks! -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

nss_ldap loop sleeping after ...
by aurfalien 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi, I rebooted a old Centos 5 box and now its stuck in an ever increasing timeout loop; nss_ldap: reconnecting tl LDAP server (sleeping # seconds).... This happens before network services starts. Any one know how I can break out of this? I tried booting in single user mode from the grub menu but no dice, the thing keeps nss_ldap looping. Thanks in advance, - aurf

LSB Certification
by Mark LaPierre 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hey All, Could someone provide a URL to a page that states what LSB level RHEL/CentOS 6.4 is certified to. I'm looking to download a driver: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-WorkForce_1100 They offer a driver for LSB 3.1 or LSB 3.2. I'm hoping that one of those applies to CentOS 6.4. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

Question on list of packages on centos 7
by Jerry Geis 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Is there a way to get a list of packages AND version of that package in centos/redhat 7? Perhaps from one a beta of 7 or something? I searched for "list of packages in redhat 7" and I can get a list but the list did not have any version information just the package name and description. Not off topic just "future" topic. Thanks, everyone have a great Thanksgiving! jerry

complicated svn, apache, krb5 and selinux problem
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

CentOS 6.4. We've got a subversion repo on a server. Currently, it's set to use krb5. Trouble is, the krb5.conf is set up to use pcscd authentication (using PIV cards). Whether anything else on the server needs it, it appears that when people issue certain svn commands (I haven't nailed down which), the thing tries to look at the pcscd.pid... and selinux complains that this is naughty. (We're in permissive mode.) I don't know deeply enough if anything else really needs to do this on the server, but I'd like to fix it so that doing svn stuff does *not* invoke that call. It *appears* if I comment out the pkinit_identities, we don't get the error (for obvious reasons). Ideally, I'd like to find some way to configure subversion - maybe in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf - so that it doesn't try that, but we *do* want it to do password krb5 authentication. Does this make sense? If so, is it do-able? mark, back at googling

Thanks for the CR packages!
by Paul Heinlein 27 Nov '13

Thank you, developers, for the continuous release packages. It's nice to get a head start on testing 6.5 for wider release. So far -- one VM, one dev server -- so good! -- Paul Heinlein heinlein(a)madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W

Where Did The Disk Go???
by Gene Poole 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'm running CentOS 5.9 x86_64 on a machine I built myself that has 6 SATA II hard drives (4 - 1 TB drives; 2 - 1.5 TB drives) all in several RAID-1 arrays. These arrays were created when I did the original installation with CentOS 5.1 and each created partition (both standard and LVM) were built raid 1. Due to some things happening around the house that required most of my attention, I saw some alerts concerning drive /dev/sdb but I didn't have time to address it and since I am running raid 1... One of the tings that happened was my home took a lightening strike and we were down for 4 days. When we got our electricity back and I brought the machine back up I noticed that there were only 5 drives listed and I wasn't getting any more alerts. What was /dev/sdb was no longer listed with any command (fdisk; cat /proc/mdstat; mdadm --list). I do have a spare drive and my questions are: Anyone know how I can find the serial number of the bad drive? Once replaced, what is the best way to get the partitions recreated? Thanks, Gene Poole

CLI speed tester for CentOS?
by Timothy Murphy 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'd like to run a CLI broadband speed tester on my CentOS server. I downloaded "tespeed" from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/>. This ran fine under Fedora-19, but failed under CentOS with the message "# reject large message", although from a quick look at the source it did not seem to be using a large test-file. Does anyone know of an alternative CLI speed-tester for CentOS? Or how to get this one to work under CentOS? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Most efficient way to create a CentOS 3 test VM
by Warren Young 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'm about to create a new CentOS 3 VM for testing, since we still have a bunch of deployed machines running that OS. (Don't yell at me about using old OSes. These machines won't get "un-deployed" until they fall over dead of natural causes. Until the last one dies, we need test and build VMs around to service them.) I have the CentOS 3.9 *.iso files plus a local cache of RPMs against 3.9 that is probably incomplete relative to the vault[*]. It seems wasteful to install the last published version of the OS, then scp over my local update RPMs, freshen from those, *then* check with the vault for yet more updates. What I'm hoping for is some way to get a "CentOS 3.10", being 3.9 with the vault updates directory contents merged in. Is there a straightforward way to do that, or is schlepping around folders full of RPMs actually the best way to go? [*] http://vault.centos.org/3.9/updates/i386/RPMS/
