Re: [CentOS] Off topic list for centos please?
On 08/25/2011 12:30 PM, Kenneth Porter wrote: an offtopic list would need to come with a lot more moderation here then. Are the -devel and -docs lists moderated? I didnt imply holding postings back for moderation - but more along the lines of creating an identity for the list, and asking people to shift conversations to better suite the audience on there. And in those ways the -devel and -docs list are much more focused than the generic list here. A reason I suggest -tech is that it's usually fairly clear when a question isn't technical but either social or political (eg. advocacy). OTOH, I don't think the technical traffic is high enough to warrant separate software and hardware lists (as would be the case with the generic Linux newsgroups). A large part of the value of this list comes from the varied and diverse membership. However, the main focus is still about CentOS itself. I try and keep up, but often fall behind reading this list - but it does look like a lot more people would rather see the hostility and arrogance on this list go away, rather than split the membership up into smaller groups. An example worth looking at and considering is the centos-virt list. Quite a few people here are members there as well, and yet continue to post to this list about their virt specific issues. The other issue that we have, which many other lists dont - is that the membership churn is quite high. And without exception, we fail quite comprehensively as a group to capitalise on that. What should be an amazing opportunity for us to bring in, nurture and hold onto content and tech specific talent - is repeatedly driven away, marginalised and put down. Yes we have the people using this list repeatedly without contributing back, yes we have people on the list here who will, even after being pointed out, fail to adhere to list etiquette and we have people on there who will still stick in and try to help others through the noise. And yes we do have people who will rant on and on about things with dubious relevance, while they will still turn around and make very good relevant points some times. But guess what, we have all kinds of people on this list - even the occasional spammer. One thing we definitely have in abundance is opinion on how this list should be run, whats OT and whats not and how people should go about starting to get help with issues they come up against. Since not everyone here would have a wiki.centos.org account, I've started a typewith.me page at http://typewith.me/B3hEsCAx97 ; how about everyone come together and thrash out a list policy, with guidelines and helpful content that might even become holding content at wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp and wiki.centos.org/EngageCommunity Thoughts about this, put it here on the list.

[CentOS] Update to CentOS 6.0 without CD/DVD reader
I've had a disaster on my home network server; the partition table on the disk containing / has become corrupted, and testdisk has not enabled me to recover the table. If anyone can help with this I should be grateful. However, that is not what I am writing about. I've installed a substitute box - and HP MicroServer - which by a miracle has CentOS-5.6 installed on it. Now I'm wondering what is the best way to install CentOS-6, given that there is no CD/DVD driver on this machine. I have access to the internet, so I can download the CD/DVD . I know I could install through a USB stick; I'm just wondering if there is a more direct route. I should look this up, but I'm rather weary after installing dovecot, httpd, etc, and thought I'd take a short cut by asking you gurus. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS 6.0
Hello, Can anyone pls tell me if a ThinkServer TS130 with a E3-1225 Xeon processor is compatible with CentOS 6.0? I would like to upgrade from 5.6 but my hardware will not allow me to do so. I do not wish to buy something that is incompatible as I already have that now. The TS130 is replacing the TS200v which is RHEL 6.x certified. The TS130 has an Intel mobo and uses the C206 chipset. I do not know the model number for the mobo itself. I have spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with Lenovo and talked with 'Peggy' seven different times before being disconnected.

And in those ways the -devel and -docs list are much more focused than the generic list here. I think the missing piece is something like an EL-admin list. That is, one where people could discuss things that are common issues on distributions based on RHEL and with access to the same set of 3rd party package repositories. That's not exactly Centos-specific, but Centos users are probably the largest single collection with the most experience, so the questions come up here - and sometimes it isn't obvious at the start whether the problem relates to the distribution packaging or an application. The usual advice here for application-related issues is to go to the application's own list, but there the first and sometimes only response you will get is to 'upgrade to current' before discussing any problems.And that is seldom the right advice for EL-type distro users. Plus, there are often several different applications that can be used for any purpose and choosing the right one based on others' experiences should be the first step. In any case, whether it should be managed by the Centos group or not, users need a list where those questions aren't met with hostility and the most likely response is a pointer to an appropriate packaged application version (since most common problems have already been solved somewhere). I start with the view that the policy restrictions that make 3rd party package repositories necessary and not referenced in the base distro _are_ a Centos problem, even if inherited from upstream, so discussing the workarounds here should be on topic, even if not Centos-specific. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6.0
It looks like the TS130 is a scaled down version of the TS430. The RedHat hardware certification catalog shows the TS430 as certified for 5.6 and 6, so it looks promising. It looks like HP also has certified hardware on RHEL with the C206 chipset. Caveat Emptor of course. I have no direct or conclusive information on the TS130.

Not absolutely sure about this, but I think E3-series is very close to 2nd generation i3/i5/i7. A while ago I installed CentOS 6.0 to Acer 7550 laptop that uses integrated Intel HD Graphics of i5 CPU. All I got with 6.0 kernels was vesa 1024x768 resolution. I found out 6.1 shoud fix this. Since CentOS 6.1 wasn't out then, I installed kernel from Scientific Linux 6.1 (another RHEL clone) and theafter I got very nice graphics -and high-resolution console also in runlevel 3 to my CentOS 6 laptop. So, I would say 6.0 doesn't support Intel graphics of that CPU, but 6.1 should do it.

Forums = too slow = too much hard work for little gain Emails = instant = quick = easy I agree in principle, but remember that you are really interacting with your own tools, so if they are slow or inconvenient you can use a different tool. There are some email readers (Apple's, at least) that handle rss feeds pretty much the same as email. Google reader or other feed aggregators make it easy to read a bunch from different sources all in one place with whatever groupings you like - and always maintain the same 'unread' view across different client browsers or phone apps. So, if the forums provide a usable rss feed, reading them shouldn't be that bad, even though you have to follow the links to read longer messages and reply.

[CentOS] 6.0 Media problems
When I downloaded the iso for 6.0 install, K3b said the iso wouldn't fit on the blank DVD. So I downloaded and burned the LiveDVD. When I boot it, I get the blue splash screen (it says CentOS... Community Enterprise OS on the bottom, logo to the right), but nothing else comes up. Hitting various keys does nothing. Downloaded and burned the Netinstall CD. It gives an error message that it can't install because the machine's CPU doesn't have pae. So is it the end of CentOS/RH for this machine? (I can't believe that. One of the great things about Linux has always been that it'll run on old hardware.) Or are these fixable problems? Or are there workarounds? Or should I go for a different distribution? -- War is a failure of the imagination. --William Blake ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The fact that this machine is excluded from RH/CentOS doesn't bode well for Linux. The i686 is an i386 32 bit CPU and needs PAE to address more than 64 GB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P6_%28microarchitecture%29 states about the i686:- PAE and wider 36-bit address bus to support 64 GB of physical memory (the linear address space of a process was still limited to 4 GB). Well, since I've got two or three other machines I'm either upgrading or installing linux on, machines that are older than this one, I guess I'm done with RH/CentOS. Is your use of a particular Intel CPU really to blame and not necessarily Centos ? You could stay with Centos 5.x and upgrade to 5.7 when it becomes available. You do not have to upgrade to Centos 6. If the motherboard is fairly modern, and has the correct type of CPU socket, you may be able to replace the CPU for a PAE one. I'm waiting for Centos 6.1 before I try version 6. Do you think hardware restrictions will be lessened in 6.1? No. I think many initial teething problems will be solved and installation bugs, if any, will be reduced or eliminated. I'm letting the more daring and adventurous folk with lots of spare time discover the problems. When M$ introduced Windows 3, they had to create version 3.1 because of the problems. Even that had bugs so Windows 3.11 was introduced. The same with M$ DOS 6, the eventual stable version was 6.22. The same with Windows 98. That had to be followed by 98 version 2 (Second Edition) and then version 3 (Millennium Edition). Centos is a lot more reliable but there are usually some odd problems with a major upgrade. -- With best regards, Paul.
