Correct xen domains path
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Hi all, Two questions 1. According to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU?highlight=%28xen%29 it would be /srv/xen or even /var/lib/xen/images. ¿What is the correct absolute path to put into the xen domains files? 2. Moreover, if you want the domU(s) boot together dom0, you should put the domains files (images) into /etc/xen/auto. ¿A simple symlink will be enough in this case? -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Migration help please - moving OS to a different LVM partition
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

I have set up a migration between two drives. fIrst I got Centos 5 working how I wanted on this drive, then set about copying it to another drive. The Centos files on both drives are in sub-partitions in an LVM partition on their respective drives. I first did a minimum install on the new drive and saved all those files to a separate directory. The LVM partititons and sub-partitions all have unique names. Well it has been a bit of a struggle to say it nicely. Seems the LVM names are buried all over the place. Of course I had to change /boot/grub/grub.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst, and /etc/fstab But more than that was the contents of /etc/lvm So for those I just restored what was created in the minimum install. Still I cannot get the new drive to boot. If I boot with the latest kernel (which I copied to the new drive), I get a message finding the new LVM partition, could not find the old LVM partition then: Mount: could no find filesystem /dev/root and a kernel panic. If I get the boot menu and select the kernel installed with the minimum install, it gets a little further. It still tries to find the old LVM partition, cannot find /lib/modules.dep in the /lib/modules directory for this kernel (forget the whole filename), and then: fsck.ext3 Unable to resolve 'label=/boot' and then get dropped into a maintenance mode with the file system mounted in readonly mode. So what Have I Missed? Or is this a lost cause and I should just do a full install on the new drive and proceed from there????

Wireless networking with CentOS 4.4 on Dell laptop
by Andrew Allen 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

I have a (new) Dell laptop with CentOS 4.4 installed and am trying to get wireless networking. The list of drivers doesn't include a specific one for this card - Dell wireless 1390 Mini PCI network card 802.11b/g (according to the manufacturer's blurb). Any ideas as to where I can find the appropriate driver please? Andy

Gnome Taskbar(s)
by fredex 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Question: All the newer Gnome distributions seem to configure themselves with two small "taskbars" (panels, I guess) one at the top and one at the bottom. I prefer the older scheme with one larger one (usually) at the bottom. When I install Centos5 in the near future I'm going to want to be able to restore the old-style panels. Anybody know what I need to change to make it work in the old way?

CUPS driver for Panasonic DP-2330 printer?
by James B. Byrne 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Can anyone point me to a possible source of a linux cups driver specifically for this machine or to a work-alike driver for a similar piece of equipment. Failing this, does anyone have any suggestions as to any open source software guys who might be willing to develop one for a fee? Regards, P.S. I have already googled, yahooed and sniveled on other venues in search of an answer. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

process show uid not user
by Frank M. Ramaekers 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

One of my user's processes shows up with the uid (numeric) rather than the user (alpha) on the ps command. The /etc/passwd file shows: theuser:x:500:501:The user:/home/theuser:/bin/bash But, 'ps -ef' shows the uid: 500 9041 8864 0 11:20 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -ef Allother active users show the user. Ideas?

how to change distro live?
by Farkas Levente 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

hi, we've got many mandrake 8,9 and 10 system remotely. we'd like to remotely replace these systems to centos 5. we've 4 disk in them. one is the system drive (no need for raid) and there is free space on the remaining 3 disk. so what we think about: - download the new system to the data disks - install grub (mandrake has lilo) to boot the old system and reboot - create the old system in the data disk - update grub to boot the old system from the data disk and reboot - repartition the system disk - transfer the new system to the system disk - update grub to boot form new system disk and reboot. this seems to easy but has many very dangerous steps and we has only remote ssh access to the system. if we loose the connections we can't access the system anymore and we've to travel a lot! another constrain that we should have to do this very fast ie. it'd be nice if the system wouldn't be down for a long time. - what would be the best method for this? - what are the dangerous step here? - what would be the best way and format to transfer the new system to the disk (we think about an iso file)? - does anybody do such thing and what is his experience? thank you for your help in advance. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
