Hi!


The SL-5 and SL-6 installer allows you to create a RAID, an LVM volume
group on the RAID and then partitions (logical volumes) in the volume

yeah i know ..


group. Logical volumes can be used for everything except /boot. I'd
advice you to do this unless you have really good reasons for not doing so.
well.. my first principle in doing something is keeping everything as 
simple it can ..  so the question is : why should i use lvm? i read so 
much about it and so far (many years passed) i didn't found a reason to 
use it...
so back to may subject : i found that is simpler to just make a raid1 
over all the device than use the lvm configuration.
which brings out the my question again : what is the status in mkinitrd 
of TUV OS 6?



I can walk you through the installation steps but I don't think this
will be necessary.

yeap .. done it already a couple of time to see how it goes ..

Thanks!
Adrian

SL60 install on "bios raid"

2011-04-07 Thread Artem Trunov 
Dear experts,

I configured in bios an onboard RAID1 provided by Intel ICH10R (aka
bios raid, aka SATA raid, aka fake raid etc), but now sure how to
proceed with installation.

When I run a kickstart file and it fails (I make it fail to explore
it's enviroment in a Alt-F2 console), I can see that my raid is
recognized as md device, i.e. /dev/md127. Naively, I'd just use
"md127" in "part" commends of my kickstart file. However during the
execution of kickstart file, md devices are simply not there. I can
not see them in %pre script, and using md127 in the part command also
fails with anaconda complaining  that such device doesn't exist.

So, what would be the right way to use kickstart install on such raid?

cheers
Artem.

Gnome panel missing after glibc update on 6th of April

2011-04-07 Thread Haendel Kristina 

Hello,

our automatic nightly yum update has loaded glibc 2.5-58.
Since this morning, some users on some machines sometimes (I can't say 
It more clear) have no gnome panel.

Some of them can start it with gnome-panel, some do not.
For me it seems like a memory fault, something like no free alloc or 
something. It never happend befor the glibc update.


Help!

Same here. We have SL 5.5. Not sure if it is a pattern,
but all machines I have seen having the problem are 32-bit,
the 64-bit ones seem Ok for now. I am including below the
contents of an .xsession-errors file.

Need help using gdm to pass additional options to Xorg on startup

2011-04-07 Thread Jeff McWilliams 
Hi,

I have a SL 6.0 box with an ATI FirePro card running the fglrx
drivers.  For various reasons,  I want to manually pass  "-dpi 96" to
the X server on startup.

My /etc/gdm/custom.conf file is as shown below.  However,when I look
at the output of "ps" for Xorg, it's not showing my parameters.  I've
done this on version 5 release, and it worked fine, so I can't
understand what I'm doing wrong.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Jeff

aspell dictionaries

2011-04-07 Thread Trutwin, Joshua 
Upstream seems to have removed aspell dictionaries (e.g. aspell-en) from el6 
(they were in el5) which I need for setting up webmin/virtualmin.

Is there a recommended way to install these other than going directly to the 
source site or downloading the el5 RPM?  I checked the dag repo and didn't seem 
them there for SL 6.

Thanks!

Josh

Looks like there's an aspell-en in epel.

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/repoview/aspell-en.html

That and aspell-sk are the only ones I see there, but maybe that'll help.

Upstream replaced aspell with hunspell and recommends that app writers 
port to it when transitioning to el6. [1]  Of course, as you already 
found, aspell is still available from EPEL.
