RE: [CentOS] Re: install issues
by Damien Solodow 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Are you trying to install the 64-bit or the 32-bit? While the install is running, some of the other virtual consoles display logs and error information. What do those show when the install rejects your disk? What result did you get trying from the HTTP install? -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of William Warren Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 11:37 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Re: install issues it's a bit more complex..i had to manually enter the mirror information..but that's exceedingly minor..<G.

Good idea, but I generally by OEM drives and they come packed in bubble wrap and foam peanuts. Besides, I was hoping for something a bit smaller than those boxes. -- Bowie

Protection for removable hard drive
by Bowie Bailey 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

My apologies if this is a bit off topic... I am going to start doing backups to removable hard drives and I will need to send these hard drives to an off-site storage facility. I am looking for some way to protect the drives after I pull them out of the system. I was hoping to find some kind of clamshell enclosure similar to what is used with external hard drives, but so far I haven't found anything. Do you guys know of anything like this? How do you protect your removable drives when they are not in the computer? -- Bowie

Could not connect to host box.domain.tld
by Anne Wilson 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

I have used fetchmail/procmail/postfix/dovecot/kmail for some time on my mail server, and have set this up on three or four machines in the past. I'm now setting up a new server and having problems. I've reached the thinking-in-circles stage, so need a prompt. The box in question is called borg2.lydgate.lan, and resides at 192.168.0.40. I can ping both borg2.lydgate.lan and 192.168.0.40, yet kmail tells me that it cannot connect to it, either by name or ip. /etc/hosts has correct lines for the box. It has to be something pretty basic, but I can't think what, unless it is either an selinux problem or ipv6 problem. I know that in FC6 I turned ipv6 off (I'd have to search to find how to do that again). Anne

Problems with yum not updating properly
by MHR 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Has anyone else seen this? I recently got the announcement about the xorg 1.5 update being available, so I ran yum update to get it. To my surprise, I found that yum did not see it at all. With some help from Karanbir (thanks again), we decided there might be something wrong with my repo path, so I checked it against the older one I had from 5.0 (which I saved, for some reason) and found that the new ones did not have protect or enable commands in them, so I added them to match my 5.0 ones. Yum suddenyl found the xorg 1.5 updates and installed them. But now, yum can't see the wireshark update, and although I probably don't need it since I don't use that (AFAIK), yum does not see that one, but suddenly it sees a kernel update (2.6.18-53.1.6). Anyone have a clue why this might be (or what I should post here to help clera it up)? Here is my CentOS-Base.repo: # CentOS-Base.repo # # This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS. # The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the # update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and # geographically close to the client.

vlc
by jarmo 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Anyone else got this, vlc do not start...? Here's the output.. VLC media player 0.8.6d Janus The program '.' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 280 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Jarmo Ah Looked around and seems to be xorg problem. This begun after last xorg update and nade my vlc unusable. Known bug in xorg, possible updates coming soon into centos5? Got bug info from suse's bugzilla... https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345131 Jarmo

Intel (brand) Penryn (8xxx) motherboard which works natively with CentOS 4/5?
by Drew Weaver 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Has anyone stumbled across an Intel brand motherboard which both works with the 8000 series of CPUs and with CentOS 4/5 out of the box? (by works I mean the NIC/Disk controllers without "fudgery") The DG31 board "kind of" works but unfortunately it has 2 DIMM slots, the realtek NIC isn't supported (don't know why, its just a standard realtek NIC, although it might be some new PCI-E one). Has anyone found the "Holy Grail" yet? Please let me know :) -Drew

During the bootup I see a message that the memory for crash kernel is not within permissible range. What does it mean, and what should be done about it? Anne

Breaking Windows XP user password?
by Scott Ehrlich 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Granted this is not a UNIX system, but in case there is a UNIX tool to accomplish the goal... I am looking for a bootable CD/DVD (or application to be placed on a CD/DVD to be made bootable) that can let me mount a Windows XP drive/partition (SP1 or SP2), and force-crack the admin password (even if admin account name has been changed, but I know what it has been changed to). The application cannot write to the hard drive - only mount it read-only, read the password file into ram, and show the cracked password. I know I can use the pnordahl utility to try and force-change the password, but I actually want to crack it. The utility should be free. This is a legal request. Thanks for leads. Scott
