xterm

Hi list Im in the process of switching from a RedHat EL 4 to CentOS 5, and run into some problems Im trying to open a X session to my Centos box, and got an error message stating that /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm is not found. Surprisingly, /usr/X11R6/bin is almost empty, as compared to my RedHat box., and I am 100% sure I have selected X during the installation Linking /bin/xterm to /usr/X11/bin/xterm allows me to start a session Question: is this the right thing to do on CentOS, or is this just a workaround?

Unable to access mirrors
by Ron Dyck 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Just did a fresh install of CentOS 5 x86_64 on a vmware virtual box. Have done this successfully in the past but now run into problems with yum and perl CPAN. The error I get: http://centos.arcticnetwork.ca/5.0/os/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> Trying other mirror. continues until it runs out of mirrors. I'm able to access everything, ie: ping google.com lynx google.com is fine. I've tried halting iptables (I'm behind router) all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. ron -- ================= Ron Dyck pulpfree1(a)gmail.com www.webbtech.net =================

Hi All I was wondering if anyone has installed CentOS 4.x on the following configuration? Our specs for the server are ASUS P5VD2-VM Motherboard, Intel Core2Duo processor, 2 x 250GB Seagate SATA HDD with 2GB RAM. I am currently trying to install SME Server 7.1 on this configuration. The SME forum has recommended I post here as well to see if anybody can help. The message I am getting is: Running anaconda, the SME Server system Installer - Please Wait.... Traceback (most recent call list): -- File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1130, in ? instClass.setInstallData(id) -- File "/tmp/product/installclasses/smeinstallclass.py", line 297, in setInstallData -- self.setDefaultPartitioning( id.partitions, doClear=0) -- File "/tmp/product/installclasses/smeinstallclass.py", line 262, in setDefaultPartitioning -- dispatch.skipStep("partition", skip=0) NameError: global name 'dispatch' is not defined install exited abnormally sending termination signals ... Done sending kill signals ... Done disabling swap ... Done unmounting file system /mnt/runtime disabling /deve/loop0 /proc/bus/usb /proc /dev/pts /sys /tmp/ramfs /mnt/source system ready for reboot ...... I have tried the SME 7.2 testing version, running SATA HDD's as SATA1, switching off all RAID options, updating BIOS and now I'm out of ideas, if anyone can help in any way this would be much appreciated. Thanks Iain

Hi Everyone, I am in a fix with an installation for a client where I need PHP version 4.3.10 or above (4.3.x, but not PHP 5). The application we are trying to run will not run on PHP 5. CentOS 4.5 provides PHP 4.3.9, is there a quick an easy way to have PHP 4.3.10 available on either CentOS 4.5 or CentOS 5 Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

Simple shared authentication method
by Lorenzo 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hi all, I'm setting up an old server to became the core server of our local lug and I'm on trouble choosing an easy yet powerful method for authentication. I think it would be nice to have a single method for authenticating local accounts, email, joomla and so on, and to be able to add another server and use the same method in the future. I am looking now at openldap but I start thinking it's too complex for the task of single sign on... or at least I am missing an easy graphical tool to setup just users and passwords (ldapbrowser and directory_assistant aren't working, and I don't have too much time to spend on learning command-line tools). Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy Single Sign On server? Tia Lorenzo Quatrini p.s. Of course all the above under CentOS 5 ;)

building cobbler on centos
by Karl R Balsmeier 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Is it difficult to build cobbler on Centos or should I just go with Fedora on this one? Basically, if you have experience succeeeding at this, can you drop me a link to a Howto or describe the issues? I am only writing this because I tried, and ran into quite a few dependency issues with upstream/downstream packages, and would rather concentrate on just getting a nice working Cobbler (and Puppet too for that matter). Not looking for responses for the sake or responses per se, -i'm happy to do what's needed, but not seeing any repos for it either so.... -krb

Program that opens documents with their associated program
by bgschaid_lists＠ice-sf.at 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

This may be a TOTALLY trivial question (and maybe inappropriate for this list), but I don't know where else to ask it: On my Mac I've got this wonderful command line utility that opens documents with the program that is associated to them in the Finder (the graphical file manager) like they were clicked in the file-manager. For instance: if I type open testdocument.doc it opens the file with Word or OpenOffice (whatever is associated with the document type .doc). This is quite convenient (don't have to leave the shell to open a document) My question: Is there a similar command on CentOS (or more specifially GNOME, because obviously it has to take the associations from some kind of GUI-filemanager)? I was looking around, but this is the kind of question where googling doesn't turn up anything useful unless you know the name of the command. Thanks

Hi, I got a few centos 5 boxes installed for tests and find the following confusing messages from dmesg command: Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole Memory: 4043392k/5242880k available (2397k kernel code, 150460k reserved, 1222k data, 196k init) The machine has only 4GB memory chips installed only, so where comes the number 5242880k for memory?
