But they probably won't do entirely what you need by themselves, IIUC what you want to do there. I suspect that after you get the library in it's final resting place, you'll want to add the target directory into /etc/ld.so.conf. If you don't reboot immediately and want to use it, you'll want to run ldconfig. This based on my interpretation that you want to pull this lib to an out-of-the-way place so it doesn't get trounced/removed when you pull major upgrades? HTH and that I wasn't addrssing a problem that doesn't exist.

yum can't find xen package?
by Kent Watsen 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

I just installed CentOS 4.1 for the first time - I did a "minimal install"... Now I'm trying to install Xen - according to several online resources I should just be able to run `yum install xen`, but yum never finds the package - though tcpdump shows http traffic going to lists.centos.org: [root@centos ~]# yum install xen Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files update : ################################################## 178/178 base : ################################################## 1406/1406 extras : ################################################## 33/33 Parsing package install arguments No Match for argument: xen Nothing to do [root@centos ~]# yum search xen Searching Packages: Setting up Repos update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files update : ################################################## 178/178 base : ################################################## 1406/1406 extras : ################################################## 33/33 No Matches found Has the xen package been removed from the yum servers?

Error running startx as non-root user
by Todd Reed 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

I've been looking online for resources that may help me, but I haven't found anything that worked. I'm trying to run x as a non-root user. Any suggestions? I get the messages: Fatal server error: PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. Here is what I've tried: 1) chmod 777 /dev/console 2) /etc/pam.d/xserver looks like: auth sufficient pam_rootok.so auth required pam_console.so account required pam_permit.so auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so auth required /lib/security/pam_permit.so account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so

Converting from RHEL to CentOS questions.
by Shaun T. Erickson 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

I have servers that are running: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 5) and Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola) [which I think RH renamed as Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 2.1]. The servers are running fine. Is it possible (and if so, how) to convert these to the equivalent releases of CentOS, without doing a complete upgrade (I want to mess with the systems as little as possible)? I work at a small company and we simply can't afford to pay for the renewal costs to be able to keep them updated from Red Hat. -- -ste
