RHEL / Mini-ITX
by Lee W 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hi Everyone, I'd be grateful if anyone can help with a couple of queries I have. Recently I downloaded Centos 3.3 and cannot get it to install I my system. The system I am using to install is a based on an original EPIA Mini-ITX m/board. At a certain point in installing it comes up with an error saying something like "system not supported". Can anyone advise if they have got Centos installed sucessfully on an ITX system? In truth I am not surprised that it doesn't work as I guess it is not what you would original have seen as being used for an Enterprise Server, but lack-of-space at home prevents me from having a full server. The other query I have relates to differences between RHEL and Centos. I originally downloaded Centos as a means of studying for the RHCE/T certification given that I cannot afford the cost of the commercial/supported version. Can anyone point me to a summary of what is missing from Centos compared to the Red Hat Enterprise release and therefore may potentially hamper my studies. The site briefly mentions that "Non-free packages, such as those encumbered by a non-redistributable copyright or trademark, are altered to avoid infringement". Thank you in advance for any advise offered. Regards Lee

Just installed fresh copy of 3.3 from isos. When I run "yum update" I am getting an error when trying to install updates: "Could not find GPG key necessary to validate....." I am sure I have missed a posting on this issue but have not been able to find it. How do I get & load correct GPG key? Thank you, Beth

software Raid1 on centos3
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

how is the stability of software raid1 on a system running centos3. i have 2 75gig hard drives that i would like to mirror if possible, that being the reliability is worth it...there will be lots of network traffic on the server. It will be used possibly as a file server, it will most definitely be used also as a mail server and webserver. i would be ok to me to not mirror the drives but this is for my place of employment and im looking to implement a linux server. im not new to linux, just the whole raid situtation. i would like to show my employer how well linux runs in a business environment. Thanks

Hello all, When I go to use up to date, it gets hung up on the "Process Dialog" Fetching http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.1/ addon/i386//headers/header.info It just stays there and doesn't move. This happens every time I go to try an update my system. Anyone else have this problem or is this a know bug? Thanks Dom _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [Centos] SX4000Lite RAID Drivers

Hi David, This is a new installation of Centos. APIC is disabled. Promise SX4000 RAID FastTrack is shown on the list of drivers CentOS but doesn't know what to do with it not it gives me an error nor displays like an available device. It would be a shame to switch to Microsoft SBS 2003 just to get this RAID card going.

Hi CentOS lovers, i have already sent this email to [www-devel] but still no answer. What i propose to the comunnity is the creation of a full featured forum. Mailing lists are fine, but one losses a lot of information, how-to's, advices, and so on. I currently am a network administrator / programmer /web programmer in europe and i point the lack of centralized site with information as something that is really needed. It is also an easy way to reach all the comunnity. I dont want to have the spotlight or become famous, but this is really needed. I can deply the forum (for instance, phpBB like) and host it in one of my web hosting companies. Just reply yes or no. Thks for the time of all. Best Regards Joao

Re: resolving urls

Dominic, If you have two or more nameservers (as is normal), you would have two or more lines in resolv.conf: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.1 nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.2 People usually have more than one nameserver because one might not be working at any moment.

That's yum, it will start downloading all the headers of the packages that are new (in your case about 1200) and scares the shit out of users by displaying all that :) I understand your reaction, the default behaviour should be less verbose. (apt is not better in a lot of those regards either) > What if I only want to access the java packages from > your repository, and everything else from a yum > mirror? Well, maybe downloading them manually would be te easiest in this case. You understand that I cannot make a repository for each package :) If you're concerned about the few core packages that are replaced, there is a Yum patch in TaoLinux that allows to protect the base system by not replace Red Hat core packages by third party ones. I'm only doing that for tools like lftp, rsync and a few others. (Tools that have been drastically improved since the RHEL3 release and most people want to use anyway). But of course that is more a personal liking and especially if you have paid for Red Hat support that may not be what you want. Still since it can be done automatically, I think this logic should go into Yum instead of the overhead you get from maintaining a second repository.

NeTraverse Win4Lin 5.0
by Dan 26 Sep '04

26 Sep '04

Anybody get win4lin 5.0 running on CentOs? I have a Ibm Thinkpad 600 running centos 3.3. I tried running the win4lin installer which downloaded a supported kernel and installed but when I went to reboot the laptop, the drivers for my wireless card were missing along with usb support. Then when the laptop went into run level 5 nothing happens. Then the x server throughs an error about a bad config. So I cancel it and it doesn't even go to the cl login. I have also tried to patch the source that I downloaded from yum and the wireless and usb work, but still having the problems with the x server. I am fairly familiar with linux but not to familiar with the x server stuff. I was just wondering if someone had successfully got it to work and if they can tell me what they did, or have somebody point me into the right direction of where to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan

Beau, > Subject: Re: [Centos] HOWTO? Upgrade Centos-2 to > Centos-3 John Newbin has been working on a migration center. It may have some useful information; get it here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/centos-2/migration.htm > Correct me if I am wrong, but centos 2 > is based off or redhat 7.2, so it may work. Check out the CentOS/RedHat family tree at the bottom of the migration center. BTW, I recently did a desktop install RedHat 9 to CentOS-3 migration as an experiment. There were come package incompatibilities that blocked the migration via YUM, so I did "yum remove" on each package that yum complained about. After removing a couple of rpm's, the migration went ahead. Afterward, I did "yum install" to put the packages back that I had removed. That seems to be a successful approach.

Hey, Has anyone installed a java applet on a CentOS-3? http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ASP/contribs/9/i386/j2re-java-plugin-1.4.2_02-… I need a java applet for some functionality accessing my SmoothWall firewall from a workstation on the internal network. Has anyone set YUM up to watch for updates? Thanks, Rick

Re: more about nVIDIA on Linux^h^h^h^h^h RedHat

Hey, I have two bits of info that suggest this is more of a RedHat problem than a Linux problem: 1) A high school friend had exactly this problem (screen when blank when booting up) on a computer running RedHat 9. (A different monitor had been used to install RedHat 9, and that monitor worked OK. Later, my high school friend got a different monitor, which went blank on boot up.) I solved the problem for my friend by swapping his nVIDIA card for a Voodoo Banshee. (And then I upgraded him to CentOS-3.) 2) I tried doing a Debian X desktop install on my test bench system with the nVIDIA TNT2 card plugged in. Debian's X install is more manual (less automatic) than under CentOS. I had to tell it which driver to use ("nv"), which I found by looking it up via Google. Debian could not get X to load -- after the screen flashed several times, Debian gave up and dumped me onto a text prompt with some messages on the screen. Maybe it is fair to say that it is a Linux problem, which RedHat 9 and its descendants do not handle well. Rick
