For some reason, a USB flash drive created with unetbootin and
containing CentOS-5.4-i386-netinstall.iso didn't boot on my Acer Aspire
One.  I got a boot: prompt and no matter what I typed I kept getting
"Can't find linux" "can't find centos" "cant find... whatever I typed

So I gave up.

I purchased an external DVD drive, which will in all likelihood come in
handy for some other stuff anyway.

CentOS-5.4-i386-netinstall.iso burned onto a CD booted fine with the
external DVD drive and I installed Centos 5.4 on my Acer Aspire One late
this afternoon.

Looks like you ran out of/low on highmem or lowmem pages?

check /proc/meminfo

HighTotal: 2227668 kB
HighFree:   362404 kB
LowTotal:   888620 kB
LowFree:  8932 kB

http://www.redhat.com/advice/tips/meminfo.html

Also Dell 2650 doesn't support 32GB of ram, only 12GB, so re-check
what hardware your running(run dmidecode). It sounds like your
using a 32-bit OS, if so(uname -m), then upgrade your system (hardware
too if needed) to a 64-bit OS. Nobody should run 32GB of ram on a
32-bit system that is just stupid crazy.

I don't even think Oracle supports 32-bit anymore.

If I remember correctly, EXTERN.h file is often something that
may be package dependent containing something like:

#undef EXT
#undef INIT
#define EXT extern
#define INIT(x)

Perl distributions generally have an EXTERN.h and perl.h file
that is used during the perl build process.

Not sure, but on the first upgrade to 5.4, one of our people found a bug
in the globbing in tcsh (which is what csh will be running), and it did
quirky things. My manager went to report it, and it had already been
listed in bugzilla. On a newer upgrade, it *seems* to have been fixed. I
can find the bug number, if you want.

So your choices are yum downgrade tcsh, or try upgrading to the latest tcsh.

I have some batch JOBs migrate from CEBTOS 5.3 to CENTOS 5.4 server.  Those 
batch files start on "#!/bin/csh -v".  Those batch files run good under CENTOS 
5.3. on CENTOS 5.4 batch jobs still run good but end of batch priocess it will

Does anyone know why?

[CentOS] Mic not working with skype

2009-12-03 Thread Andrew
I've just installed a beta version of skype in CentOS 5.3 and everything
seems fine - the mic is working OK as I can hear it through the speakers
(feedback). Problem is I can't get the mic to actually work with skype
(eg with skype call testing service) - it may be that one of the many
settings is incorrect - has anybody else had this problem and got any
suggestions please?

Double check your /etc/krb5.keytab. On the server it must have the 
nfs/server.exemple.net key and on the client it must have 
nfs/client.exemple.net.


In idmapd.conf, leave it as the default:
[General]

Verbosity = 0
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = localdomain

[Mapping]

Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody

[Translation]
Method = nsswitch

Believe me, I've tried to understand[1] why Domain must be "localdomain" 
but I've no been lucky.

Re: [CentOS] Small proxy appliance hardware

2009-12-03 Thread Chuck Munro

Regarding a small proxy appliance, my thanks to those who responded
either on this list or by direct email.

We are going to get one of the little Acer AspireRevo 3610 boxes and
give it a try.  It's small, quiet, runs cool, and has more than enough
resources to handle our CentOS proxy application.  It's a shame that we
have to trash the Windows-7 install (a waste of money) but that's life.

The only unanswered question is with regard to an external USB wired
network adapter, so we'll have to go by the data on the various
manufacturers' web sites about Linux support.  Has anyone tried the
Belkin USB2/Gbit, the D-Link DUB-E100 or the Linksys USB300M  devices?
Which adapter chips to they use (in other words, which driver)?

Thanks -- I'll try it out tonight at home.  However, I note that trying 
it on my Centos machine yields:

$ yum provides '*/EXTERN.h'
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Error: Caching enabled but no local cache of 
//var/cache/yum/addons/filelists.xml.gz from addons

So I'm trying

  yum makecache

and then

yum provides "*/EXTERN.h"

(works!)

OK, I'm just really new at Centos-DS, but it looks to me like it will
simplify this task for you.  I just finally got it set up, and
authentication working for Linux SSH login, as well as Apache.  This
is all really easy stuff, now that I know how to do it.  Even if it
did take me a week or more to figure out how to get here :-)

But in browsing around inn the Centos-DS admin tool, it seems to have
a whole whack of NT Domain stuff built in.   And I see HOWTOs out
there for Samba.
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation#Howtos

You should join the 389-ds mailing list.
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users

I have not yet jumped into any of the NT stuff, but I'll be going there soon.

cheers,

In your case, you should look at samba with the LDAP backend. This will allow 
all data to be in LDAP for the non-Windows boxes, and the Windows clients 
would treat it as an NT4 styled domain.

The yum repo doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.

I use the latest static version on CentOS 5.4 x86_64 and it works fine.
I just untar it in /opt, ln -s to /opt/skype and create a launcher on
my Desktop.

The command:
yum provides "*/$filename"

Double check your /etc/krb5.keytab. On the server it must have the 
nfs/server.exemple.net key and on the client it must have 
nfs/client.exemple.net.


In idmapd.conf, leave it as the default:
[General]

Verbosity = 0
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = localdomain

[Mapping]

Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody

[Translation]
Method = nsswitch

Believe me, I've tried to understand[1] why Domain must be "localdomain" 
but I've no been lucky.

Miguel

I made the requested changes and when I start the nfs services (/etc/init.d/nfs 
start) I get the same error messages. I made sure that I have used kinit 
nfs/nfs.example.net -k -t /etc/krb5.keytab and verified that the principle was 
loaded by using klist. I have disabled SELINUX & iptables to make sure that 
neither are interfering with this. Thanks again for the help!

I didn't know there was a Skype repo for CentOS. Some time ago Skype had 
RPMS for CentOS, but they seem to have been abandoned. As for the Fedora 
packages, well, Fedora is not CentOS. I do use Fedora packages from time 
to time, but then, I always take the SRPM and rebuild it on CentOS. 
Which isn't exactly feasible with a closed source app :o|

You're right, it is $4, but what do you want, I was still half asleep, and

And yeah, pipes are Good. I try to explain to folks why I call *Nix "fun",
