centos 5.5--gnome desktop--all icons disappeared.
by fred smith 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

gang, I feel dumb having to ask this... I've got a Centos 5.5 installation (it's not new, I've been using it for over a year on this machine) and all of a sudden just a few minutes ago everything on the gnome desktop disappeared. no icons, right-click doesn't bring up a context menu. the panels are still there, though, thank goodness. tried logging off and back on but that didn't help. I'm perusing the centos forums for clues, and thought I should ask all of you too in parallel. Suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance!

kickstart raid disk partitioning
by Roberto Nunnari 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hello. A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers using kickstart. The server has two 1TB sata disks with two software raid1 partitions as follows: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0] 933448704 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda2[2](F) 40957568 blocks [2/1] [_U] Now the drives are starting to be failing and next week I'll backup /homes, reinstall OS with kickstart, and finally restore /homes. There's a problem with how the kickstart process partitions the disks, though. As you may have noticed above, md0 is made up of sdb1 and sda2. Could anybody help me understand how to make the partitions on the two drives identical still using kickstart? Here's the relevant part from the kickstart file: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel bootloader --location=mbr part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 250 --asprimary --ondisk sda part swap --size 2048 --asprimary --ondisk sda part raid.01 --size 40000 --asprimary --ondisk sda part raid.03 --size 1 --grow --asprimary --ondisk sda part /boot2 --fstype ext3 --size 250 --asprimary --ondisk sdb part swap --size 2048 --asprimary --ondisk sdb part raid.02 --size 40000 --asprimary --ondisk sdb part raid.04 --size 1 --grow --asprimary --ondisk sdb raid / --level=1 --device=md0 --fstype ext3 raid.01 raid.02 raid /home --level=1 --device=md1 --fstype ext3 raid.03 raid.04 ..but here's the produced partitioning on the two drives: # parted /dev/sda print Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-953869.710 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 251.015 primary ext3 boot 2 251.016 40248.786 primary ext3 raid 3 40248.787 42296.132 primary linux-swap 4 42296.133 953867.219 primary ext3 raid # parted /dev/sdb print Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-953869.710 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 39997.771 primary ext3 boot, raid 2 39997.771 42045.117 primary linux-swap 3 42045.117 42296.132 primary ext3 4 42296.133 953867.219 primary ext3 raid I'm not asking because I'm picky, but just because, it would have made my life easier to fix bad blocks on disks by dd from good block on disk1 to bad block on disk2, and as next week I'll reinstall, I'd prefer to do it the right way. Some more bits about my environment: # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.8 (Final) # uname -rms Linux 2.6.9-89.0.18.ELsmp i686 Thank you and best regards. Robi

juniper netscreen (ssg5) and centos
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hi all, Lookin to do an IPSEC VPN between a Juniper SSG5 and Centos 5.5. Reading some docs that ref /etc/ipsec-tools.conf but they do not exist on my box being Centos 5.5. The package ipsec-tools is installed and I'm guessing /etc/racoon/ racoon.conf is what I am looking for. Anyways, some help would be very appreciated. - aurf

Hallo, yesterday from 3 to 11 pm UTC our Java application was down. As far as I know, the server java.sun.com was not available. Needs any java application direct access to sun? Can I stop this hell? Any idea? Best regards Helmut

Centos podcast on FLOSS weekly
by Les Mikesell 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

If you've ever wondered what Karanbir Singh looks like, check out this week's (142) video podcast at http://twit.tv/floss. I'm only partway through the audio version (will finish on the drive home) and haven't heard anything that would be surprising to people already using Centos yet but it's a great presentation and something to recommend to people who aren't familiar with the project. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

New to Centos
by Johan Scheepers 19 Nov '10

Good day, I would like to first test and then use centos 5.5. I downloaded centos 5.5 x86_64 live CD. Problem...screen resolution only 800x600. In fedora 14 it is 1024x768, same in debian squeeze and opensuse11.3. Could there be a way to increase the resolution? in either i386 or x86_64. Thanks Regards Johan

Hello, If you're interested in running Xen 4.0 hypervisor/dom0 on RHEL6, take a look at here: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/RHEL6Xen4Tutorial It explains steps needed to rebuild Xen 4.0.1 src.rpm from Fedora on RHEL6, and how to fetch dom0 capable 2.6.32.x kernel from upstream git repository. It also shows how to get libvirt/virt-manager working with Xen on RHEL6. Hopefully it helps :) -- Pasi
