Questions about kernel updates
by Robert 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

The latest CentOS 5 kernel, 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 broke my box and I had to drop back to 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 before I could play DVDs with either Xine or mplayer. ( xine-0.99.5-1.el5.rf & mplayer-1.0-0.36.rc1try2.el5.rf ). This is no big deal to me -- as long as I can make certain that the older kernel doesn't go away. If I understand the installonly plugin correctly, an entry of tokeep=4 in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf will cause yum to leave the working kernel in place through 2 more upgrades. Aside from setting tokeep to an insanely large value, is there any way to insure that yum will concern itself only with installing updates, allowing me to deal with tossing the old stuff? Also, is my understanding of the "tokeep" value in installonlyn.conf correct? Thanks! --

clonezilla
by Les Mikesell 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

The clonezilla live project is a really nice way to do image-copies of machines: http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/clonezilla-live/ but it's based on a Debian live OS which has some unfamiliar quirks. Has anyone built something like this on a Centos base? For anyone who hasn't seen it, it can do whole disk or partition copies of windows and most Linux filesystems and it knows enough to only copy the used parts of the disk. Among other tricks, it can also build a bootable iso image containing itself and one or more images that you can load directly from the cd/dvd. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

tftp-server
by Radek Bursztynowski 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Hello, I have just installed Centos 5 and I have some problem with tftp-server. I use the same configuration like with Centos 4.4. With Centos 4.4 everything works properly. With Centos 5 DHCP server sends IP address to the client and client is booting. I can see: TFTP prefix: /lts/2.6.20.9-ltsp-1/ Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-29-62-e2-ed Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A8001D (several trials of loading and at the end I receive: # boot: When I switch dhcp and tftp servers to Centos 4.4 (using the same config files) everything comes back to the order. What can I do with Centos 5 to fix this problem? Best regards Radek Bursztynowski

Help with GTK and putty
by Scott Ehrlich 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

I'm trying to install the latest version of putty GUI ssh client on my C5 box, but get the error: ./configure: line 2353: syntax error near unexpected token '1.2.0,' ./configure: "AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, all_targets="all-cli all-gtk", all_targets="all-cli)' What am I missing? I thought I had GTK fully installed. Maybe I don't? I tried a yum install *gtk* and *GTK* and got through that fine. What else? Thanks. Scott

Re: anyone using DBMail?

If I do end up using it, most likely I'll use ver 2.2.5 (available in > the EPEL repo) with CentOS 5, probably with a MySQL backend (but I'm not > sure yet, SQLite might be another option). 1-2 years ago I migrated away from Maildir files to DBMail using MySQL. My goals was primarily stability. With replicated database servers and separating the frontend from the backend, I gained reliability and flexibility. This wasn't for user accounts (Exchange handled those), but for dedicated addresses related to products. Another server process typically POP'd the messages. Generally it worked great. There's a bit of setup and testing involved, but overall I was quite happy with it. There's a web admin interface that works pretty well also.
