How to install the devsys after the fact
by Peter Lauda 22 May '07

22 May '07

I'm running with CentOS 4.3 and the system was setup originaly with no development system and no kernel sources. I'm trying to get the headers and libraries installed and it is giving me fits. I've followed the suggestions on several threads and tried to yum install gcc, kernel-headers, kernel-devel but I seem to not be able to get /usr/include or use/include/sys packages... don't know what they're called even. Has anyone succesfully installed these things after the OS and can you please point me at some howtos or docs on how it's done? Any help gratefuly appreciated. Cheers! --p

tcl font size issue on centso 4.4 x86_64
by Jerry Geis 22 May '07

22 May '07

I have a simply script that I cannot get a font size bigger than 40. Changing the font_size value to 80 does not make the font any bigger just the background. How do I get a bigger font than 40? I run this script as "wish -f file.tcl" What am I doing wrong to not get bigger fonts? THanks, Jerry --------------------------------------------- set font_size 40 set show_window_title 0 set disable_window_decorations 1 set screen_width [winfo screenwidth . ] set screen_height [winfo screenheight . ] set window_x 0 set window_y 0 set my_message "This is my message..." wm geometry . ${screen_width}x${font_size}+${window_x}+${window_y} wm overrideredirect . $disable_window_decorations font create ourFont -family helvetica -size $font_size set c [canvas .c -height $font_size -width $screen_width -background black -highlightthickness 0 ] pack $c $c create text 10 4 -text $my_message -font ourFont -anchor nw -fill red ~ ~

"core" package groups
by Niki Kovacs 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi, One nice thing I have with Debian is the possibility to have a really stripped-down install of things. Let's take an example. I want a cholesterol-free install of GNOME, I 'apt-get install gnome-core' which gives me the bare working minimum of GNOME as a starting point, and then I install what I really need. The same thing applies for KDE, with 'apt-get install kde-core'. Having such a thing would be great on CentOS. Currently, 'yum groupinstall <group>' tends to install many things. What do you think?

Installing to other than "/" label
by Kenneth Porter 22 May '07

22 May '07

I have a system with Fedora installed on the partition with label "/". Can I install CentOS on a new empty partition (/dev/cciss/c0d3p1), or do I need to remove the "/" label on the Fedora partition and change Fedora's fstab to mount by physical partition? I'd like to keep Fedora as a fall-back OS until I have CentOS completely up and working. My Fedora fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

64 Bit?
by drew einhorn 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi, I have access to remote VMware ESX server. Don't really know what the underlying hardware is. Looked at a few dmesg results. As always there is a bunch of stuff I understand and a bunch more that I don't understand. I'd really like to know if it's a 64 Bit CPU, before I create my next VM. But, I can't tell from the dmesgs I've looked at. -- Drew Einhorn

pygrub cannot find kernel
by Fong Vang 22 May '07

22 May '07

I just installed a CentOs 5 domU system on a CentOS 5 dom0 system following the instructions detailed here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU. The installation went through successfully. After installation, however, pygrub can't find a kernel. This is the xen cfg file I'm using: bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub" name = "testsrv" memory = "2048" disk = [ 'tap:aio:/root/testsrv.img,xvda,w', ] vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0', ] vcpus=2 on_reboot = 'destroy' on_crash = 'destroy' this is the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 499, in ? curses.wrapper(run_main) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds) File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 455, in run_main sel = g.run() File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 358, in run self.run_main(timeout) File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 381, in run_main draw() File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 366, in draw self.draw_main_windows() File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 159, in draw_main_windows curses.use_default_colors() _curses.error: use_default_colors() returned ERR No handlers could be found for logger "xend" Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!

Printers?
by Ashley M. Kirchner 22 May '07

22 May '07

Where can I find a list of supported USB printers for Centos5? We're looking to add a printer to our system that can print out a full 8.5x11 sheet that has a peel off label on it. So I need something supported, and I need to figure out what to use to spit this stuff out. The data is coming in as a PDF file... -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
