Re: [CentOS] How to add to EPEL wishlist?
by Radu-Cristian FOTESCU 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

> Wrong list? The subject line was a question. EPEL stands for... you know what. And CentOS is a rebuild of... you know what. Therefore, I suspect that CentOS users would/should/could be interested in adding EPEL as an extra repository. You know, there is more than Karan[bir] and DAG on Earth... But yes, it might be a wrong list, for different reasons than you thought of. R-C __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Vsftpd problem
by Tony Molloy 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Hi all, I have a filesystem which I need to make available through ftp ( vsftpd ). I have this as separate filesystem as it needs to be available through apache and NFS also. It's our local mirror. I've set up vsftpd and put a test directory in /var/ftp/pub and it works. However I can't seem to get it to see the separate /mirrors filesystem. I've tried using symlinks as below in /var/ftp/pub. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 26 10:53 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 22 12:11 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25 Jun 22 12:21 .message drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 26 10:53 mirrors -> /mirrors I this case the TEST directory works but the mirrors directory does not. ftp> cd mirrors 550 Failed to change directory. I've also tried using mount --bind to remount the the /mirrors filesystem as /var/ftp/pub/mirrors. When I do this I can see the contents of /var/ftp/pub/mirrors drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jun 23 07:54 mirrors ls -al /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/ drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jun 23 07:54 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 26 11:04 .. drwxr-xr-x 9 1000 1000 4096 May 18 00:19 centos drwxr-xr-x 6 ftp 803 4096 Mar 15 13:11 config-linux drwxr-xr-x 4 apache apache 4096 Sep 21 2006 custom-repos However when I try to ftp to it I can't see the mirrors directory -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 25 Jun 22 12:21 .message drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST Finally I've tried mounting it directly under /var/ftp/pub/mirrors -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25 Jun 22 12:21 .message drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jun 23 07:54 mirrors But when I ftp into the box again I can't see the mirrors directory ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,220,1,157,168,142) 150 Here comes the directory listing. drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 Jun 22 15:25 TEST 226 Directory send OK. Is this a permissions problem or does vsftpd not allow separate filesystems to be seen. Regards, Tony

snmpd log messages
by Paul R. Ganci 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

I updated to CentOS 4.5 yesterday and now I am finding the snmpd daemon is logging reams and reams of these messages: May 20 10:40:03 mx01 snmpd[2572]: Connection from - 127.0.0.1 May 20 10:40:03 mx01 snmpd[2572]: transport socket = 12 Is there a way to turn off this useless logging? I am getting these every 5 minutes (every time MRTG updates my MailScanner statistics). So far what I tried was to take off the -a switch when starting snmpd. That didn't help. This snmpd behavior is new from CentOS 4.4. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com)

Firefox and Thunderbird 2.0, Centos 5, and rpms
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

I am making some progress on my Centos 5 notebook build. So I am looking at Firefox and Thunderbird 2.0. Should I install them? Or is Redhat correct that there is nothing improved here and wait for 3.0? (well I have not even had a chance to look at Thunderbird 2.0, that is new)? I have the install steps we covered here back on 2/2/07; but are there rpms? I did not find anything over at ATrpms. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

empty /var/log/messages
by beast 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

I have one centos 4.0 server which /var/log/messages was always empty (0 bytes). I wonder what has been blocking the syslog to write the log. Other (syslog) log files are fine, only messages. /etc/syslog.conf: # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;spampd.none -/var/log/messages .thanks

one application receive all key commands
by Jerry Geis 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Is there a way in centos 4 or 5 to have one application receive all keyboard events - no matter what is running. Some applications bind keys etc... and I need to get those keys no matter what and not have the application see them at all. Is there a way to do that? Jerry

logwatch reports not benig emailed
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hello, I have a couple of CentOS 5 servers, and third running in a FC6 domU. I've configured postfix on those servers to not deliver any email to the local system, but to instead relay mail to an internal mail server. I also set up /etc/aliases to send all mail to root to me, ksandhu. I can send mail on the command line, and I get it at my email address, delivered to the internal mail server: great! But, every night when logwatch runs, the damned reports never make it to my mailbox. What's worse is that I can manually run logwatch (logwatch --mailto root), and I get the report in my mailbox! All CentOS 5 servers are exhibiting the same behaviour. I've setup postfix like I always have. CentOS 4 servers with the same config are sending their logwatch reports properly. I've tried explicitly setting the path to sendmail in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf: mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" but, it hasn't helped. Does anyone have any ideas? I must be missing something obvious. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 12:14:54 up 16 days, 3:01, 3 users, load average: 0.99, 0.38, 0.23

OpenCA for Centos
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

OpenCA has rpm for FC4: https://www.openca.org/projects/openca/downloads.shtml Will that work for Centos 5? Gee I should just spin up a box, try it and see if it crashes and burns....... Given the interest in OpenCA in edu and k-12, it would be nice to see this readily available. Of course I am biased, as I lurk on the various edu PKI forum.

How much space is left on whatever partition /var is mounted on? Your comment about SA causing the huge log reminded me of the time I filled /var due to spewage from a bad configuration.

Need to do some careful moving...
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

When I built this new Centos 5 drive, I copied over much of my old data using cp, and did not use the -preserve option. Ouch. I need those file create dates so that documents and such sort properly, historically. I recovered much of my stuff from a tar built back in mid-May (but I missed that the tar backup ended abnormally, as I was tar-ing to a USB attached drive formatted FAT32, and at 4Gb, it stopped). Now I want to copy all of my newer files into this recovered directory. The -u option of cp and mv will do the wrong thing, of course. I want to only copy files that are NOT present in the recovered directory. I will of course still be stuck with a lot of files with a Jun 18 date that were created between the backup date and Jun 18, but at least I will be better off.... Perhaps I do a mv -f from the recovered to the misdated directory? Being careful to protect those few files that HAVE really been modified since the backup? Oh, I am talking about 30k files here.....

CentOS 5 & USB Kickstart?

Is anybody else having problems with CentOS 5 not loading the usb drivers for kickstart installations? I'm passing "linux ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg," but I get a message saying it can't find the ks.cfg file and I should enter another path. I use the exact same boot options with CentOS 4 without any problems.

TinyCA2 on rpmforge EL4 but not EL5
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

I want to install TinyCA2 on my Centos5 setup. I had a real learning experience the last time around (last year, July) and in the end, I got the repo down from Dag's site and was cool. Now I am on Centos 5 and no TinyCA2. Can I just download the EL4 rpm from: http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repoview/tinyca2-0-0.7.5-2… and do a yum localinstall ? Or do I have to wait for it to appear as an EL5 rpm?

Battery status indicator in CentOS 4.4
by Andrew Allen 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

I've got CentOS 4.4 installed on 3 machines - two laptops and a PC. Only one, a HP Omnibook 900, shows the graphical battery status indicator (in the bottom right of the screen), but the other laptop (a new Dell Inspiron 1501) doesn't show it. Furthermore, the command /usr/bin/apm gets the response 'no apm support in kernel' - I've tried yum-updating the kernel and installing apm but to no avail. Any suggestions please as it's obviously very useful/necessary to have a battery indicator! Andy

Troubles with CentOS5 and 3ware RAID controller
by Luc de Louw 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Folks, Since approx. a half year I have run two servers with CentOS4, all was running very stable. Then I upgraded to CentOS5 (fresh install). The servers are running quite unstable since the upgrade. The system is freezing after short uptime. I suspect the driver for the 3ware controller, because I got such error messages: 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Character ioctl (0x1f) timed out, resetting card. 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Character ioctl (0x1f) timed out, resetting card. 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Character ioctl (0x1f) timed out, resetting card.

vncviewer package wit hcentos 5
by Jerry Geis 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

I have xkeybindings running just fine on centos 5. I have vncviewer running in full screen mode showing another PC. When vncviewer is running is running it seems to override my xkeybindings. Is there a way to tell vncviewer to not bind to any keys?? The only keys I am binding is on the Keypad 3,4,6, 9 and Enter. Nothing that vncviewer uses anyway. How can I still have my xkeybindings active with vncviewer running? Thanks, Jerry

Wireless networking in CentOS 4.4
by Andrew Allen 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Trying to set up wireless networking with CentOS 4.4 on a (new Dell) laptop and have looked at http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2- ipw2200.shtml and http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php? topic_id=2532&forum=30 regarding use of ipw2200, which is included in the kernel. The problem is that it doesn't appear to be actually installed/loaded because the Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG driver doesn't appear in the drop- down list under Devices > New > Wireless Connection in system-config- network. Also /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw doesn't produce anything - so I'm pretty baffled! Any suggestions please? Andy

Getting JPilot working
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

I am trying to get JPilot working. I have configed gnome-pilot-applet, but it is not talking to the USB connected Treo650. My Treo has my name as the user, so from the applet, I see also a userid (my UID on this system it seems). I try to put that on the Treo and nothing happens. I have enabled the Backup Conduit. I am using /dev/pilot, which shows up when my Treo is connected via its USB syncing cable. In JPilot in settings, I specify /dev/pilot I go install user and install the same user as in the pilot-applet. I click on sync and press the sync button on the cable and I watch all the files get backed up to my /MyPilot directory (used from pilot-applet). But NOTHING shows up in J-Pilot. Everything is still there on the Treo.... Any thoughts? /var/log/messages shows the following in conjunction with a Sync: Jun 26 10:55:24 nc4010 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 11 Jun 26 10:55:24 nc4010 kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jun 26 10:55:24 nc4010 kernel: visor 1-2:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS convert er detected Jun 26 10:55:24 nc4010 kernel: usb 1-2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0 Jun 26 10:55:24 nc4010 kernel: usb 1-2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1 Jun 26 10:55:47 nc4010 kernel: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 11 Jun 26 10:55:47 nc4010 kernel: visor 1-2:1.0: device disconnected Sync runs nicely, the files on the Treo are backed up to the director specified in

2007 New Zealand Open Source Awards
by Johnny Hughes 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Anyone using CentOS to do open source things in New Zealand? If so ... nominate yourself here for the 2007 New Zealand Open Source Awards. The best I can tell ... New Zealanders are the organizations / people they want for nominees. The CentOS Project has no (to my knowledge) developers in New Zealand, but if some of the organizations there are using the product, maybe they can nominate themselves and CentOS for awards in some of the categories. http://www.nzosa.org.nz/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Centos 5.0 x86-64 install crashes with Realtek 8111B Ethrenet
by Richard Chapman 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

While installing Centos 5.0 x86-64 on a Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 motherboard which has Realtek 8111B Ethernet chip - Anaconda crashes. I select the option to use the Centos online repository for extra packages - I am asked to enter IP address etc. The drop box to select the Ethernet interface is blank. If I enter valid IP address and gateway - anaconda crashes and the system reboots from CD. I think that the NIC chip is not correctly detected by anaconda - and there must be a problem in the logic which allows anaconda to try to connect to the network without any available network adaptor. Incidentally - I also use a version of Linux called Trinity Rescue. The current version of trinity used kernel 2.6.19.2 - and this detects and runs the same Ethernet chip fine. Maybe the newer kernel fixes the problem - or maybe the problem is specific to x86-64 architecture. In Bug report 0001947 someone reports he fixed this problem with a new driver from realtek and/or redhat. I have downloaded this driver - but can anyone point me to instructions on how to compile and install it? I have built a Centos 5.0 without network support. Alternatively - does anyone know when we expect a Centos 5.1 release? Is there a beta I can get hold of before the release? Alternatively - can I download updates for the Centos 5 from a yum repository using a working cetos 4.4 installation - then use yum or rpm to install a new kernel or driver on the Centos 5.0 system? Can anyone suggest were I would find instructions on how to do this? Thanks Richard.

Exe file size is chaning during runtime
by balajisundar＠midascomm.com 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Dear All, We have observed the exe file size getting changed during run time of the system in CentOS. We are using CentOS 4.4 release. We have taken "strings" of the original "exe" and changed "exe". Then we compared the strings output of the two. The difference is given below. We are not sure why this is happening. Can some one throw light on this. diff oldExeStrings newExeStrings 1a2,8 > MzFX# > PzFr > MzF` > MzFm > MzF% > MzFXi > MzF 163a171,182 > libssl.so.4 > libcrypto.so.4 > libkrb5.so.3 > libcom_err.so.2 > libcrypt.so.1 > libresolv.so.2 > libnsl.so.1 > libpthread.so.0 > /lib/ld-linux.so.2 > libgssapi_krb5.so.2 > libk5crypto.so.3 > libz.so.1 --Regards S.Balaji

ipmi regression in 4.5?
by Gavin Carr 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

I've been monitoring CPU temperature on a few Dell SC1435s running CentOS4 via OpenIPMI and 'ipmitool sdr'. It's been working very nicely, but the upgrade to 4.5 not so long ago seems to have broken something: # ipmitool sdr type Temperature Temp | 01h | ns | 3.1 | Disabled Planar Temp | 04h | ok | 7.1 | 30 degrees C Temp Interface | 53h | ns | 7.1 | Disabled The disabled sensors above used to work fine, and there have been no config changes or bios upgrades or anything. All machines affected post 4.5. Any suggestions? Cheers, Gavin

How can I set NIC duplex before installation?
by John Horne 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Hello, I have installed CentOS 5 onto a server this afternoon using NFS. The NFS 'server' has a 100Mb/full-duplex interface, the server I installed CentOS on to has 4 x 100Mb interfaces. However, the installation was painfully slow to start with, and by using ctrl-alt-f2/f4/f5 I could see that contact with the NFS server was intermitently failing. Soon after some of the packages had installed the 'ethtool' command was then available, and I could see that the (installation) server NIC had been set to 100Mb but at half-duplex. This was causing numerous collisions and errors on the NIC interface. As soon as I reset the NIC to full-duplex (via ctrl-alt-f2 and using ethtool), then the installation speeded up and seemed to cause no more errors. My question is, how can I tell anaconda to set the NIC interface options such as speed and duplex? I have another server to install which has 2 x gigabit NICs and 2 x 100MB NIC's. My concern is that anaconda will again use wrong NIC parameters, and the installation will again be very slow. Surely it is possible to set the NIC options?

The Subject: line says it all. I haven't been able to find a KDiff3 RPM (http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net) that will install on CentOS 4, and I am also having problems building it from source (the application that is, not the RPM). I have some users who really want to use KDiff3, so any help/hints are appreciated. Thanks, Alfred

iptables rule (MAC filtering)
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi all, I've a CentOS box which as two NIC; this box is also a router for LAN subnet: ------------------------------------ | eth0 (external) 172.0.0.1 | | eth1 (internal) 192.168.1.1 | ------------------------------------ | LAN clients (192.168.1.2+) I want to allow http acces only for two LAN boxes; an only http access, which means that others protocols as smtp, pop3, imap and so on will be permited. The rest of LAN boxes will be redirected to a local http service (192.168.1.1:80) I think the best way is creating a iptables rules based on MAC address. So, the rules I've made are: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -m mac --mac-source ! xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1:80 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 -m mac --mac-source ! xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1:80 Please, note the exclamation symbol, which means a logical negation. But it seems doesn't work correctly: all the LAN clients can suffer the web. ¿?¿?¿

Nautilus displays open document files of OpenOffice.org2 as ZIP files
by Boris Folgmann 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi, the openoffice.org2 RPMs for CentOS 4.5 work very well, but there seems to be some integration missing. OO2 saves all files in the new Open Document Format, e.g. .ods, which is displayed by nautilus as a simple ZIP file (which isn't that wrong). But this means that you can't open the files directly by using a double click. /usr/bin/file seems to have the same problem, it doesn't know that data type exactly, too. file reports it as "Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract" Does anybody know if it's planned to improve the integration, so that it works like for the old OpenOffice.org? cu, boris

Static linking against glibc
by Anand Buddhdev 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

I'm building an RPM of a DNS server called NSD on CentOS 4.4. I'm going to be using it for some heavy-duty DNS traffic, so I want to minimise its dependencies on external libraries. I have therefore attempted to link it statically. The package does build, and even runs fine. However, during the build process, gcc emits warnings like these: nsd.o(.text+0xfba): In function `main': : warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking My understanding of this is because glibc uses dlopen to load other shared objects at runtime. I therefore need a Requires: line in the RPM which requires glibc-2.3.4-2.36, or whatever version I used to build nsd. Now, what I want to ask is: if the version of glibc is upgraded to say 2.3.4-2.48, what happens? What do the numbers after the version number mean (2.48) and what effect will that have on packages which are statically linked against glibc? Another question which has occured to me is this: NSD also uses other libraries, such as openssl. Is there any way to know if any of the openssl libraries use dlopen to load in other shared objects? If they do, then it introduces dependencies that I may not be aware of, and doing static linking wouldn't be as beneficial as I first thought it would be. Comments from experienced developers will be most appreciated. -- Anand Buddhdev

OT: vmware server not accepting root password?
by Gordon McLellan 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

Sorry for the OT question; I'm hoping someone else has a similar setup and ran into this same problem? For some reason, not sure what I changed, my vmware server is no longer accepting the root login for the management console or web mui interface. I'm certain the password is correct, and I've even reset root's password to make sure. VMware seems to be running ok, I can access my virtual machines just fine, as well as start and stop the vmware service. The host OS is centos 4.5 x86-64, nothing special, just a bare bones server install. Any ideas on resetting what vmware considers the root password, or re-syncing it somehow? Thanks- Gordon These are the only log entries I could find corresponding to my login attempts: [root@incognito log]# tail secure Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito xinetd[4086]: START: vmware-authd pid=7377 from=10.51.51.6 Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so) Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM [dlerror: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so) Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM [dlerror: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so: symbol pam_syslog, version LIBPAM_EXTENSION_1.0 not defined in file libpam.so.0 with link time reference] Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so) Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM [dlerror: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so: symbol pam_syslog, version LIBPAM_EXTENSION_1.0 not defined in file libpam.so.0 with link time reference] Jun 22 23:48:26 incognito vmware-authd[7377]: PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so

network raid file system/server
by Farkas Levente 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

hi, we've a few 10-20 server in a lan each has 4-8 hdd. we'd like to create one big file server on these server hard disks and we'd like to create it in a redundant way ie: - if one (or more) of the hdd or server fails the whole filesystem still usable and consistent. - any server in this farm can see the same storage/filesystem. it's someting a big network raid5-6... storage where we have about 40<partition added to the same network volume. and there is an fs over it which hide all internal network raid functionality. is there any such solution? i can't find any way to do this on our linux servers. thank you for your help in advance. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Bug in initscripts? Problem with ifup-routes and alias device
by "T. Eichstädt" 22 Jun '07

Hello List, I have one network card and added two IP-Adresses to it: eth1 192.168.1.1/24 eth1:1 10.1.2.3/24 a want to use static routes on device eth1:1 and added one in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1:1: GATEWAY0=10.1.2.4 ADDRESS0=10.2.2.0 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 What the network-script should execute in background is: ip route add 10.2.2.0/24 via 10.1.2.4 dev eth1 but it executes ip route add 10.2.2.0/24 via 10.1.2.4 dev eth1:1 BUT: "eth1:1" is in the "ip" command not working, "ip" throws an error ("Cannot find device eth1:1") and doesn't add the route. Did I miss something or is it a bug in the ifup-routes script ? ----------------- Output of ifconfig eth1:1 after "ifup eth1:1": eth1:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:0E:0E:68:8B inet addr:10.1.2.3 Bcast:10.1.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Base address:0xec00 Memory:dffe0000-e0000000 ---------------------- Best regards T.

CentOS 5 LiveCD - When?
by Mike McCarty 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

I asked before (about 2 weeks) about this, and was told it was in testing. I wonder when it will be available. My GF is considering leaving Debian due to it not recognizing her hardware very well, and I thought a CentOS 5 LiveCD might be a reasonable way for her to see whether CentOS might do a better job. If no LiveCD is forthcoming soon, then I'll burn a copy of the CentOS 4 LiveCD and let her try that. Thanks.

VGA boot options in XEN kernel
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hi all, I've got a new LCD 19" monitor. It's a good device, but I always work into a shell environment, so the fonts size is too big for comfortable activity. I've tried to increase the resolution adding the vga=VALUE parameter in kernel-xen line, but it seems not work. Some useful info: [root@horus ~]# uname -a Linux horus 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 18:01:24 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent
