Stupid Question I know...
by Scott Heisler 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

I'm wanting my Centos 4.0 box to boot up into TEXT mode, like all of my other Linux servers do. Unfortunately, it only boots into graphics mode and there's some issue with the keyboard (it controls the mouse, very poorly). I can SSH into the box so I can re-config it.. But just don't know where to look in this new version. I tried GRUB.CONF and even the SYSTEM_CONFIG programs.. No luck. Thanks. Scott

yum update dependency problem CentOS 3
by Sean Franklin 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

On the most recent errata, I am getting a dependency conflict: [root@lists etc]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3 - Base Server: CentOS-3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies .conflict between gtk2 and librsvg2 [root@lists etc]# I looked in the yum.log, but only found successes in there. I tried updating each one individually, and librsvg2 reports as being current. So, I am at a loss as to how/where to go from here. Any hint or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks. Sean.

PHP RPM with t1lib?
by Mike Kercher 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

I have a clean install of CentOS 4 running on a box which will be an image generator. One of the requirements is t1lib support compiled into PHP. I don't want to go away from a fully RPM based system, so I don't want to compile PHP from source. Does anyone have an RPM with t1lib compiled in or is there a way to build my own RPM with the t1lib support compiled in? TIA! Mike

mkbootdisk! [SOLVED]
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

First, I thanks you all for your answers. Step by step what I did. 1. Install from CD1 CentOS mkisofs-2.01.1-5.i386.rpm 2. create the file /tmp/2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.iso 3. run mkbootdisk --device /tmp/2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.iso --iso 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL 4. Burn this ISO image to a CD. That's it!! regards, israel

Milestone

Well I now have a 4.0 server at a solid checkpoint. Before I start the chore of setting up SAMBA and LDAP. Part of the delay was I did not copy all of the needed DNS files, and I have to reerad the BIND book. So I want to be able to get to this point again easily. I did not note down what options I had selected during install. Is there some way in the install log to figure that out? Is there some way to do an image backup? I only have a Win2000 server available for the backup, no NFS on another system. Appreciate any and all help. Barrs Law of Recursive futility If you're smart enough to use one of these.... .....you can probably manage without one!

Collins, Most of my servers are connected remotely, I migrated from WhiteBox to CentOS linux, I had in every (remote) server a bootdisk (floppy), so in case of a raid crash, some people there booted the server from the bootdisk and then I reconstructed the Raid remotely... I know if I boot from CD rescue mode I can get the same result, but, people in thouse places are not especialized in linux boxes. That is because I want to boot from a floopy, now I also know it's imposible, but, Can I make a CD boot?, I just want something to boot my remote server, get running all services and later I reconstruct the RAID... understand me now? sorry my poor english! regards, israel
