View 4 RepliesI need to convert OS X apps to OTF or TTF. Something usable in both Linux and Windows.
Is there any way to do this via the command line, or any app for this?
Is there a way to get the matching Linux kernel headers automatic on a regular kernel update via the Ubuntu packed manager? Every time I get a new kernel I must do an aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`

The adjustments made look out of date as I get lots of errors of paths not being found.
Does any one have a working and up to date centos revisor.conf and a revisor-c5-i386.conf ?Does anyone use revisor on a regular basis to respin centos 5?

I have a server I'd like to convert from CentOS to Ubuntu 10.04. The only issue is that I don't have physical access to the machine or access to any part of the boot process. Using only ssh, how would I install 10.04 on this machine?

Also On Friday 6-24-11 I added a device line to the /etc/fstab so that my CD/DVD device would load up at boat time. I would not think this to be causing the problem.Please advise me on how to get back my regular GUI interface for this Desktop.
After doing a regular software update on a 5.5 box (and rebooting), I now have problems starting xen (version "xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.3.x86_64").
Running "/etc/init.d/xend start" yields no output, and checking the script, I see that the script halts if "/proc/xen" doesn't exist.
Checking the filesystem, I find that the "/proc/xen" entry is indeed gone. Restarting the CentOS box does not help.
Should I reinstall Xen? If so, should I remove any portions of Xen before I do?
Update:
When I run /usr/sbin/xend I get:
I decided to take the plunge and change the existing static ip configuration for my home network to a dynamic (DHCP) configuration. The DHCP server in this new network config is my gt701-wg actiontec DSL modem.

I forgot the root passwd for linux (via the "single" mode) and, according to all confirms, did so successfully! I then try to log on to Centos as root, and I can't....it says "incorrect passwd"! So then I log on as another, regular, but not root, user, with that passwd, and boot up into Centos. if I try to "su" to root, with the new root passwd, again it says its incorrect. there is no "system admin" passwd set. I checked!. I need root access within Centos!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI had a server with CentOS 5.5 and Asterisk fail today most likely due to the power failure. I guess the stupid electrician turned the power ON and OFF multiple times while changing the burned out fuse without unplugging the PBX. It was set in CMOS to power back on when there is power outage so my two HDDs which were set in RAID-1 now shot.
Trying to start the system and it goes through some check and fixes and then tells me to do Ctrl+D or enter password and run fsck. I have tried both methods and I don't think they yeild anything.
Ctrl+D reboots and same store again with the system fixing and asking me to Ctrl+D again. Putting the password and doing "fsck -y" gives many errors and it fixes it and then it just keeps looping. I am afraid this is making it worst than better. So, after few loops I did few more restarts and just give up. Took out the HDDs and installed new ones and install CentOS+Asterisk so business runs as usual on Monday.
However, I am kind f*ked if I don't get the files out of these HDDs. This is my first time using fsck and also encountering this type of a problem. What is the normal procedure when fixing inodes misplaced in a case like this? and what should I do to at least be able to grab my files?
I have already connected one of the drives to Windows and used Disk Internals (which maps Linux drives) but I see only folders with no contents except for /tmp/ which has contents. While the HDDs were in the system I could actually browse files and they were fine. I am really keen to get the drives fixed but I am also afraid that bad usage of fsck might replace lots of files and burn it all.
after update to kernel-2.6.18-164.el5 one of the 2 NIC's of my machine are only found at 1 of 4 reboots. Using the old one kernel-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 all is fine. This are the to NIC's:
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 0c)
And the Intel one, makes the problems with the new kernel.
I compiled my kernel, compiled scsi support into kernel, used the new kernel and initrd, the boot failed.Then ,i unzip my initrd, found that sd_mod.ko can't be insert, i added it manual, and reboot OK.so, why! in the kernel configure , the sd_mod.ko is set to <M> , but why it can't be found in initrd?

I was just about to reboot the system when I realized that it runs VMWare Server Instance that will most likely fail to restart after kernel upgrade (I had a hard time fixing it after previous kernel update). Now I want to keep 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 after reboot.I see that new kernel is scheduled for booting:

I'm running CentOS 5.3 and would like to know what the "best" or "proper" method is to build a custom kernel using the generic kernel sources from kernel.org. Most of the references I've found talk about modifying the current CentOS kernel using the RPM way. I really want to have the latest kernel due to some important security issues that haven't been addressed in the current CentOS 5.3 kernel.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe first server I installed installed fine. The second server, installed with the same config, went to "kernel panic not syncing no init found try passing init= option in kernel" error. I tried reinstalling but it keeps going to that error after install reboot. The storage is ISCSI connected via Intel Server Adapter, which allows it to boot from ISCSI. Not sure if that's the cause for the problem, but the first server is connected to the same ISCSI and installed just fine.
Is there a way that I can make sure ISCSI module installs during installation? Although I think it is installed since it's able to copy the files and setup /dev/sda. I just wana make sure that it installs during setup.
I built a home server (NAS/WWW/SSH/media server etc) and chose CentOS 5 as the OS (stability, easy of configuration).I was just about to start tuning the power consumption when I realised that the kernel CentOS uses is so "old" that it does not support the latest reduced power consumption enhancements that Linux has achieved in big strides in the recent past (we are probably still talking 6-12+ months ago e.g. tickless kernel)..
So my questions; 1) I know CentOS was maybe not meant for home servers (certainly its not its primary purpose), but if it is, any ideas of what kind of power consumption it takes (I know its relative) and if there are particular power consumptions that are worthwhile?
2) Do you recommend me compiling my own 2.6.21+ kernel from kernel.org or am I just likely to have compatibility issues (I really did not want to do that) or when is CentOS 5.4 supposed to have a newer 2.6.21+ version kernel?
Was it wrong of me in principle to choose CentOS for a home server when I am power conscious? (I don't have a low-power VIA processor either but a P4 so I am really just hoping to make do with software changes).
I am an old days RH release user(from 6.x) and just switching back from Debian/Ubuntu to CentOS on some servers, but I can not understand the kernel update strategy currently enabled in CentOS.There are two boxes, with almost identical installation, but recently there was an auto update of kernel on one box. This auto update also seems to issue an auto reboot on the machine, which is unacceptable on server machines.

Is this something I can download and install from somewhere, or must I download the sources and build it?

View 6 Replies View Relatedafter updating freshly installed CentOS 5.2 to 5.3, the new - updated kernel remains invisible to GRUB (at least in GRUB boot menu). I've tried reinstalling, adding the entry manually (although one entry for the new kernel already exists, and is default boot target), altering the old kernel entry to refer to the new kernel and initrd (since it is the only entry visible), and nothing worked. Also, the new boot entry added manually didn't show up on the boot menu either. After trying to edit the entry for the old kernel and initrd and boot it i got the following message:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. I've searched and found:
13 : Invalid or unsupported executable format
This error is returned if the kernel image being loaded is not recognized as Multiboot or one of the supported native formats (Linux zImage or bzImage, FreeBSD, or NetBSD). The hardware I installed CentOS on is Dell Optiplex 755 with RAID 1 configured - using onboard controller (if this can be of any relevance).
Does this mean kmod-xfs is no longer needed in centos 5.4 x64?
