Connect-Disconnect DSL on commandline
by Timothy Kesten 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hi Folks, I'm using CentOS 4.3 on my Desktop-Computer. I've been switched from Suse: I'm using for Internet-Connection DSL (Germany). It will be started at boottime. But how can I connect/disconnet this connection without using a GUI during the Computer is runnig . Is there a command(-line-tool)? On Suse there was a program called "cinternet" that fits for this task. An other question: I've running a server in a small Network with Suse 9.0. I want to switch this server to CentOS because of stability and long support. Because CentOS is a "clone" of RHEL I've heared in december 2006 there will be a new version of RHEL. How long will it takes until CentOS is adapted to this new version? Is it recommendable to wait for new CentOS? I dont want setup the server two times in the next 12 month ;-) Thx Timothy

add'l info: x86_64 reproducible server PANIC with latest kernel
by Kay Diederichs 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

I forgot to mention that the problem has nothing to do with the kernel being tainted (due to VMware server). I installed VMware server after being faced with the crashes, to give the Java user a "sandbox" which s/he could crash without taking down the real server. Only then I discovered that VMware server has a memory limitation to 3600MB (I guess because it's not a 64bit application). I see exactly the same crash with a non-tainted kernel.

Yum Transaction Check Error: package freetype-2.1.9-1.2.2.el4.rf
by itayf＠nospammail.net 01 Aug '06

Hello list friends, I got the following error during yum update. How should I proceed to eliminate the probelm? (I thought perhaps to uninstall the .i386 package -- but there are some 15-20 other packages depending on it...) Repositories: dries, kbs-CentOS-Extras, update, rpmforge, base, addons, extras FWIW: the protectbase plugin was added on 2006-07-10. Thanks in advance, Itay <quote> [root@frodo ~]# yum update Loading "protectbase" plugin [snip] Updating: freetype i386 2.1.9-1.rhel4.4 update 757 k [snip] Transaction Check Error: package freetype-2.1.9-1.2.2.el4.rf (which is newer than freetype-2.1.9-1.rhel4.4) is already installed [root@frodo ~]# yum list freetype Loading "protectbase" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 86 packages excluded due to repository protections Installed Packages freetype.i386 2.1.9-1 installed freetype.x86_64 2.1.9-1.2.2.el4.rf installed Available Packages freetype.x86_64 2.1.9-1.rhel4.4 update freetype.i386 2.1.9-1.rhel4.4 update [root@frodo ~]# grep -i freetype /var/log/yum.log Jun 27 09:18:23 Updated: freetype.x86_64 2.1.9-1.2.2.el4.rf </quote>

Samba/ldap install script from k12osn perl problems
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

There has been some very good work by a few people over in k12osn for setting up a SAMBA PDC/BDC environment. Thing is their scripts are for Fedora core 3. There are instructions on how to get things to go step by step instead of use the Fedora-based script, so I gave it a try. Step 1 is to get apt running and everything current. I assumed yum would do instead. step 2 has: *Installing CPAN bundles * Now we need to make sure our perl modules are all there and up to date. We can do this easily by Running perl -MCPAN -e –shell Let it run. Answer “no” when it asks about Manual configuration. Once it stops you'll be at the cpan prompt....type install Bundle::CPAN this will install many perl modules for you. Answer “yes” to any dependency questions. When you get to the question about “libnet”....answer “no”. Once you are finished...hit “enter” to exit....it'll run for a few seconds more and then bring you back to the cpan prompt. For good measure let's type install Net::LDAP (it should be up to date) ======================================= Well I had many messages from the perl -MCPAN and install Bundle::CPAN and the install Net::LDAP just failed. Being how this is rather foreign to me, how do I figure out what really went wrong and how to get it right?

RHN Up2date Cruft: can I dump it?
by William L. Maltby 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Got part 1 - xx of back up working, so figured it's a good time to look for stuff to jettison... casually of course. Like paperwork, documentation, ... it's low on the priority list with GB so cheap these days. Anyway, 42M in /var/spool/up2date. Headers and such. I use only yum after my first month or so of CentOS. Can I dump that and similar non- config stuff? Or does it have some potential use? TIA. Bill

Kernel 2.4 in centos 4.3
by azeredo＠qmc.ufsc.br 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, I´m using centos in 4 servers that work as gateway for intranets where i work. I built a particular kernel for my needs but this kernel is 2.4.31. So i neeed to boot this kernel in centos 4.3 and centos 4.2. Can anyone help with that? I know the problem is mainly in modutils because modules cannot be loaded when kernel is loaded. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Luís. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Finding perl-MIME-Base64
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

I am told by yum localinstall that I need this for TinyCA2. When I search for it, it seems like it SHOULD be part of basic perl package, but it is hard to argue with yum on dependencies.....
