about add/remove software
by beast 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

In the documentation, it says that add/remove software is use only to install from CD drive[1]. However this program refuse to run when no internet connection, why not just prompt for the installation media? assuming everybody has fast internet connection was too optimistic. 1. So what is the correct way to install/remove software after the installation (using GUI)? 2. In /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo the sample command was incorect, it should be --enablerepo=c5-media. But anyway, it still did not works here, centos cd was mounted under /media/CentOS_5.0_Final, after manually changed (is there any shortcut, ie using old good /dev/cdrom ?) : [root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media install tftp Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for tftp to pack into transaction set. media://1176235114.525559%235/CentOS/tftp-0.42-3.1.el5.centos.i386.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media> Trying other mirror. Error: failed to retrieve CentOS/tftp-0.42-3.1.el5.centos.i386.rpm from c5-media error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media> Also i feel that yum is to slow even when running from cache, ymmv. 3. What is the program/service responsible to automatically display media in desktop when mounted? Thanks! --beast [1] http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/sn-software-management-tools.html

Pam module for freeradius
by Devraj Mukherjee 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi everyone, Does the default installation of pam support authenticating against radius. Or do I need the module available from the freeradius site. If yes, then is the freeradius pam module available via rpm? Thanks -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

virtual hdd problems when CentOS is guest OS
by Rogelio Bastardo 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

I recently installed VMware on CentOS 4.4 (using the single server CD). I installed VMware fine, and then installed the VMware-mui tools that allow me to use a Windows box to console to the server. From my Windows box, I can create VMs on the fly just fine. Interestingly, I can create virtual Debian boxes ok, but I can't create virtual CentOS boxes. What might I be missing? As soon as I boot to the iso, it says something about not being able to find the drive. (I didn't have this problem with CentOS when Windows was my host OS, only when CentOS is the host OS)

VMWare hiccup on CentOS 5, 2.6.18-8.1.8
by Mark Hull-Richter 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

For reasons which escape me, my VMWare Server, which was working perfectly a week ago when I shut down my machine for vacation, no loner comes up with the formerly working Windows XP system - it just stays in the small window where it normally boots and does nothing. The vmware serverd log shows nothing particularly interesting, and I have reconfigured the vmware twice to try and fix this (which interestingly enough could not find the vmware modules for my os either time). I am running CentOS 5.0 with all the latest updates through this morning, plus a 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel with NTFS file system support compiled in as a module, and vmware server shows this: $ vmware -v /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) VMware Server 1.0.3 build-44356 (Not sure what that note about libpng12 means....) Here is the server log's tail: Jul 30 17:57:48: app| SP: Retrieved username: mhr Jul 30 17:57:54: app| Adding to list of running vms: /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:54: app| Attempting to launch vmx : /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:55: app| New connection on socket server-vmxvmdb from host localhost (ip address: local) , user: mhr Jul 30 17:57:55: app| Connection from : /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx Jul 30 17:57:55: app| Setting up autoDetect info.

Any suggestions or clues? This is the first glitch I've had with vmware server on CentOS 5. Thanks. mhr
