I tried to load CentOS on another system last night. I used the same cd I used on my previous system and now when I run the test it fails and wont load the os. I tried to burn another set and same results. I there a know good mirror I can try and re-download the ISO again to see what going on. I loaded xp just to see if it was my drive and xp and and livecd fo CentOS works fine. So I dont think its a cd issue. I used the same drive to burn all the cd too. I tried the gui and the text version.
On the text version I get some error about mounting the cd and tty2 or something like that. This happens after I enter in all my disk/networking info and it is trying to do the load. The gui version when it starts up seems OK then it says starting x server and then I get a blank screen with a big X cursor but never get the screen to enter in info. No I have not tried the cd on another system yet as I don't have one that I can risk wiping out. But if I have to I will get an old drive and put it in my laptop and see if it boots.
I am running Linux from a DVD, not installed. I am not good with installing software, but since the DVD cannot be corrupted, I am content to operate this way. Lately, I have been having problems that previously did not occur. When I try to click on the checkbox to get rid of emails, it doesn't register in most cases, or when it does, I am clicking multiple times so it registers twice, meaning it is unchecked again. Even more frustrating is some issues that are affecting my ability to update my business. I am trying to modify spreadsheets (text not calculations).
Whenever I try to click & drag to select something to change, it keeps jumping around to select only some of what I want, something else or some combination of the 2. When I try to copy and paste several fields from 1 column to another, everything from the several fields in the source column ends up together in the last field in the target column. I am also trying to download some images from a website. There is a single column of links to the images. I have to click on the link to get to the image in order to copy it, then back out to continue looking for more links to do the same.
My computer keeps jumping back 2 steps, then forward 2 steps, and sometimes I lose my place in that list. I could deal with it if it were a small number of links, but this is a list of probably close to 20,000 links. Again, i am operating off of a live DVD so this should not be corruptible, but this has just started happening, and has been an issue the last several sessions.
using the update maneger to update on ubuntu new linux images available 2.6.31-17 generic and after the download is complete both images exist in the grub menu should i remove them ? or just remove them from the boot menu ? and if so how could i do each.
would someone explain to me (or point me to an explanation) the list of cd/dvd images available for download. I downloaded Lenny on one cd long ago installed it and everything was ok. Now I notice there are about 5 or 6 dvd's and over 30 cd's for download. I notice that there is one cd for 6.0 i386 KDE version that I presume is the same as I used long ago.
I'm doing this wget script called wget-images, which should download images from a website. It looks like this now:
wget -e robots=off -r -l1 --no-parent -A.jpg
The thing is, in the terminal when i put ./wget-images www.randomwebsite.com, it says
wget: missing URL
I know it works if I put url in the text file and then run it, but how can I make it work without adding any urls into the text file? I want to put link in the command line and make it understand that I want pictures of that certain link that I just wrote as a parameter.
There are lots of CD/DVD on the site debian, eg:alpha , amd64, arm..... now i want to install a version on the vmware, which version i should download.
I am having some issues with downloading images to my website from my suppliers!
I have a text file (extracted from product their product lists) which has all of the image URLs!
I have tried to use php using the below script which was started via a cron job, however exec is blocked and my hoster has told me to use curl..... Is there something that can be written in or with curl to do the same thing?
How do you instruct wget to recursively crawl a website and only download certain types of images? I tried using this to crawl a site and only download Jpeg images:
However, even though page1.html contains hundreds of links to subpages, which themselves have direct links to images, wget reports things like "Removing subpage13.html since it should be rejected", and never downloads any images, since none are directly linked to from the starting page.I'm assuming this is because my --accept is being used to both direct the crawl and filter content to download, whereas I want it used only to direct the download of content. How can I make wget crawl all links, but only download files with certain extensions like *.jpeg?
EDIT: Also, some pages are dynamic, and are generated via a CGI script (e.g. img.cgi?fo9s0f989wefw90e). Even if I add cgi to my accept list (e.g. --accept=jpg,jpeg,html,cgi) these still always get rejected. Is there a way around this?
I know there are similar topics about this that have been posted, but the information I need I cannot find. Im in a situation where I have two new HP DL360 G6 servers, both have a HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller. Since the raid controller is so new CentOS 5.3/5.4 and RHEL 5.3/5.4 do not have support built into the installer.I do have a driver for the raid controller which I have used and successfully installed CentOS 5.3 on one of the systems.The reason I need to customize an ISO is because I need the raid controller driver as part of the installation disc. As these systems are servers and are going to be deployed remotely I will not have physical access to these systems if they need to be rebuilt. I also have to build machines remotely as well using iLO (having a floppy image or usb image of the drivers does not work through iLO).
The installation rpm's can be as is, I do not need to make any changes there. I just need to make sure that the raid controller driver is loaded into memory from the media rather than another media source, before the installer kicks in.
I recently migrated to a newer server running centos5 and cpanel
I have imagemagick installed
I installed freetype as well
Most images display fine on web pages for accounts on the server, however, .gif images do not display.All I get is an image placeholder.
.png are fine .jpg are fine
I have not tested all the possible varieties of images, but .gif I know is not displaying.I am sure its some kind of RPM I am missing or a configuration problem.
What is the difference between the boot.iso and netinstall.iso images? I've looked at the wiki and done some Googling, but haven't found a good answer yet. I know it is probably going to be something obvious, but in the context of installing a Xen fully virtualised guest there doesn't seem to be much difference. After booting both ask for the location of the install tree and proceed happily.
I know that ImageMagick's convert program can be used as follows to convert a collection of images -- say, in PNG format -- to a PDF file:
convert *png output.pdf
The problem with this is that each image is then stretched to fit on one page, whereas I would like to keep the original dimensions of the images and put as many as possible on one page in the PDF file before moving on to another page.
I am just spent half an hour hunting for a thing that should be totally available already:USB install images of Ubuntu, knoppix and all the others.And, the only good way are so far complicated tutorials where you extract the stuff from an CD image. Why??Hasn't everybody notices that CDs/DVDs are vanishing big time? That more and more systems don't have the readers anymore? Instead of following a 10 point instruction list, it would be nice to just be able to download a Ubuntu 8.10 or whatever USB image and be able to beam that DIRECTLY to a USB stick with a dd command.
Or am a missing something here? Does this exist?It should by no means be mariginal, considering how important USB stick in specific and flash memory in general have become.
i want to resolve the above error. I'm using systemimager to autoinstall system images on pc's connected in lan. while doing this i got the error No DHCPOFFERS received. Also at the time of booting my pc it shows the message No dhcp and/or proxyDHCP offers recieved. But i've started the dhcpd deamon on my pc. Also the systemimager rsync deamon is running. The two pc's are also connected in lan properly.
Still while autoinstalling the image on client it fails showing the error message... No DHCPOFFERS recieved. what do i do in order to make my autoinstall work properly? How do i come to know whether the dhcp server is running or not? What will be the exact problem in autoinstalling?
I am looking for the CentOS LAMP system (all in one) that can fit onto a CD or a DVD. When I check the download section there are 6 files of 700MBs or so. How come there are CentOS versions of Asterisk (for example Trixbox) that has LAMP and CentOS 5 and yet fits on one CD?
Is that a stripped down version? if so, can you please guide me to a simple CentOS version on this site so that I can download it and build LAMP on it?

and I'd like to download some recent packages for him so they're ready to go if needed. However, I don't want to install any packages yet, since I'm concerned I might really hose up the system.Is there a way to download but not install with RPM? I only found the -i and -u options on the EZ guides ("RPM for Complete Morons!!!") I was reading. Download only seems to be a more esoteric option.I saw a reference to a yum plug-in for this, but I'd really like to avoid installing anything new, or altering the behavior of system tools. In a pinch download with FTP might work.
I originally tried using a torrent download to try and get a DVD ISO image. When I tried to copy the image to a DVD, my software said something about the file not being supported and the file vanished from the download location.
So now I have tried looking for just an ISO file instead of a torrent file and when I try to download it my browser just hangs, I get the "Save" or "Open" option and choose "Save", nothing happens. The option window blanks out.
So how do I download a DVD ISO image for CentOS 5?
I have three CentOS machines which want updating from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 sometime in the next week or two.I've always just done su -c 'yum update' on each machine, and let it slowly download and update a zillion pkgs. And every time I do that, I tell myself that *next* time, I'll figure out a better way.
I'd like to be a little more efficient this time, and have the 2nd & 3rd machines re-use some of the packages that the first machine downloaded. Two are workstations, and the third, a headless non-X11 fileserver, so they have different (but overlapping) sets of packages that they'll need. But the in-common packages comprise a lot of downloading that I would rather do only once. There's some way to set up a local yum repo on my server, mirror *everything* onto it, and update all machines from it. But that looks trickier, and way overkill for my purpose. Or I could just download ISOs, and work from there, but two machines don't have optical drives to boot from, and the ISOs contain tons of stuff that none of these systems need, so the download savings would be cancelled out.
A little reading of forums/manpages/etc, and I think I want to make use of yum localupdate (which I've never tried before), and do something along the lines of: 1.) Update the first workstation. It'll download all pkgs it needs overnight, and then update itself: [wkstn]$ su -c 'yum update'
2.) Make sure everything is working correctly.
3.) Grab every *.rpm from wkstn's /var/cache/yum and all its subdirs, and copy these to a temp dir on the server's raid: [wkstn]$ cp -a /var/cache/yum /server/raida/wkstn_yum_cache
4.) Update any server packages that the wkstn already downloaded.[server]$ su -c 'yum localupdate /raida/wkstn_yum_cache/'
5.) Update any server packages that the wkstn did NOT download: [server]$ su -c 'yum update'
6.) Deal with anything that broke on the server. The raid drivers, for example, always seem to need rebuilding, after kernel updates.
7.) Update the other workstation.
Question #0: Will this do what I want? I've never tried yum localupdate before, and the yum manpage doesn't elaborate much. Am I really barking up the wrong tree? Is there some much better way of doing this, for updating just 2 to 4 machines.
I am away for two weeks in a Internet free zone - unless I can get it back on - I would like to download the wiki, if possible to browse and try new things. I can update my comp, but will need to take it to a friends to connect.
I have problem with kernel of centos 5.3 kernel has been updated incompletely so I need to update kernel manualy does anyone has centos with kernel 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5xen or knows that where I can download an centos iso with 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5xen kernel?
I have got this to work before, now will not resolve dependencies and says something about not finding the mirrors. Are the repositories offline for some reason as this might explain the problem. Here is the error..Cannot download headers failure: repodata/filelists.sqlite.bz2 from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
