CentOS 5.1 install via PXE Failure
by James Gray 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi All, This has to be something simple....but it's really busting my chops. We have a PXE boot server that is used for initial installation of a number of operating systems and it works well. However the CentOS 5.1 x86_64 install is seriously broken. We've made the PXE boot images available from "centos/5/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/" in the tftp boot etc. We've rsynced our mirror with a local Tier 1 mirror (rsync://ftp.monash.edu.au::ftp/linux/CentOS/) Next we fire off the installation using the following in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default: label 4 kernel centos5/x86_64/vmlinuz append initrd=centos5/x86_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=7000 ks=http://<insternal_install_server>/CentOS-5/dot/kickstart/ks.cfg.x86_64 ksdevice=eth0 language=en text The installer starts, loads the kickstart script (attached), successfully verifies the installation media, checks the dependencies for the packages to be installed, formats the hard drive(s), then attempts to download the package: sysklogd-1.4.1-39.2.x86_64.rpm At this point the installation will not continue because that package is not part of the installation! I've verified our internal mirror with 3 other Tier 1 rsync hosts and all agree, our images are up-to-date and the CORRECT sysklogd package is actually: sysklogd-1.4.1-40.el5.x86_64.rpm (Note the build is 40.el5, NOT 39.2). I've tried creating a symbolic link from sysklogd-1.4.1-40.el5.x86_64.rpm -> sysklogd-1.4.1-39.2.x86_64.rpm, and sourcing a real package for sysklogd-1.4.1-39.2.x86_64.rpm. These last two attempts have still resulted in the installer claiming the RPM is corrupt, not available etc. This is killing us :( The odd thing is the James -- There will be big changes for you but you will be happy.

FOSDEM Presentations
by Filipe Brandenburger 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi! I was looking at the pictures and devroom of FOSDEM 2008 in www.centos.org. I was really interested in the presentations related to CentOS. Would you mind making them available somewhere on the site? I think that would be great documentation for some of the topics. In particular, I wonder what are Karanbir's opinions on "Hosting custom applications on CentOS 5", I guess I already know what many of the items will be (package everything in RPMs and manage them with yum), but I'm really curious about the other tips he would have to give. Thanks a lot! Filipe

Package request: OpenJDK 1.6 packages
by Heiko Adams 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hello, currently the c5-testing repository contains packages for OpenJDK 1.7. The 1.7 branch is the development branch for the upcomming OpenJDK Version 7. OpenJDK is scheduled somewhere in 2009 and for this reason IMHO far away from being stable I'd like to request packages for the currently stable 1.6 branch of OpenJDK. AFAIK the Fedora project has already replaced OpenJDK 1.7 by OpenJDK 1.6 in rawhide for the same reason. -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com>

Graphical frontend for gphoto2? (Handling photo cameras in XFCE)
by Niki Kovacs 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.1 with the latest XFCE-4.4 desktop. I try to stick as much as possible to the UNIX tools philosophy, one app per task. For viewing images, I installed GQView. But right now, I wonder what I could probably use for handling photo imports from digital cameras. GThumb tends to be very unmodular, e. g. drawing in many GNOME dependencies, and besides that, I already have an image browser, so I don't need another one. Under Slackware, I've been using GTKam, a simple GTK frontend to gphoto2, which did the job just fine. But I'm surprised to find it nowhere, not in RPMForge, not in FreshRPMs. All I can find on the web is a few stale .spec files on some obscure SVN repos. Well, I can always try to grab one of these, and see if I can manage to build an RPM from the "latest" version: 0.1.14, dating from december 2006. Which makes me wonder whether this piece of software is perfect or abandoned... Before launching into building GTKam on my own, I'd like to ask: what graphical frontends for digital cameras can you use *besides* GThumb and Digikam (that is: if you're using neither GNOME nor KDE)? Is there some obscure GIMP plugin that I might have overseen? Cheers, Niki

I recently bought an edge modem and I need help on how to install it on CentOS 5. I tried working my way round it by installing windows as a virtual machine and then installing the modem but it kept on telling me that the USB device has malfunctioned. When I install on Windows XP based computer (no VM) it works fine. Any help out there?
