CentOS 5 :: Downloading All Rpm Like Yum On Windows?
Jul 7, 2010
I had one but quite big problem. I have a machine with centos 5.5 which is connected to VLAN without any internet connection. Police of company dooesn`t allow me to connect this machin direct to the internet. So i can`t use yum to install any packages. So everything what I install on this machine is isntalled using RPM files and that is the problem. I want to install on this machine Apache + MySQL + few other application. Using yum it is realy easy i should just type yum install mysql but i cannot use it.
But i have access to computer with windows which is connected to this machine and can send files to it.
My Question is:
Is any kind of program which could work lik you but on windows. I want to download all needed files to install for example mysql5 in one moment. Yes i can seraching in the internet all needed rpm files but it takes much time. I want to use one program which will download me all rpm needed to install mysql or other program. Oh i just forgot say i am weak in english and i am newbie in linux.

I am struggling with downloading ubuntu 10.10 on to computer. I want to keep my windows 7 operational. I have downloaded ubuntu onto a CD. I have partitioned my C drive to install. Has 61GB space free. I expected a box to come up when installing that allowed me to install along side windows but none did. Only 2 options available, one to use whole disk space which I presumed would erase windows or 2, to do it manually (advanced) dreaded words for me!. What am I doing wrong? or what do I need to do. Also have just joined this site and have to say took me a while to work out how to post a message. Maybe some simple box to point new users to gat quick answers to their problems?

I am trying to download CentOS 5.4 from the following link[URL].. CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-DVD.iso 02-Oct-2009 12:35 3.7G I have downloaded it twice with chrome and the size I received twice is 1.99 GB (2,147,417,640 bytes)
Is this correct or I am doing something wrong. I am reluctant to try another mirror because I guess they all will point to the same file.

I just installed a dual boot XP/Debian 5.0.4 setup on my Dell 5100 laptop. I now have constant problems with "resolving host" when using Debian. The connection when using a browser or downloading is noticeably slower than when using Windows or my Ubuntu install on my desktop. Also, whenever using the Debian install on my laptop, both it and my desktop, which both connect through the same Linksys router, constantly show "resolving host" (Chrome browser) until it just timeouts. Rebooting the DSL modem sometimes fixes it for a while (although it's still slow even then), but it eventually happens again. Turn off the laptop/switch to the XP OS on it, and the problems disappear on both the laptop and desktop. Is this a known problem for Debian 5.0.4?

I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.5. I am trying to browse to the Windows machines on my network (Places > Network Servers > Windows Network), but I get a blank window. I am able to ping the Windows machines using their IP address, but not by their name. What do I need to do to be able to see the Windows machines and also to connect to shared folders on these machines? So far I have tried starting SMB (via System > Administration > Server Settings > Services). I have also tried changing my smb workgroup to "WORKGROUP" (the default was mygroup which did not match my Windows machines.

This will be a little long (having read Phil's 'how to ask questions' FAQ). I'm trying to get OpenVPN working between my CentOS server and some Windoze laptops running XP. There seems to be plenty of sample
config files available, but to date, none of them have worked for me. Pulling out my trusty Wireshark, I've found some clues,
BACKGROUND:
My local subnet (NAT'ed by my gateway router) is 192.168.52.x. My router has been configured with a conduit (port-forward) for port 1194 (the standard OpenVPN port), which points towards my CentOS server.The CentOS server is .52.112, and the supplicant is .52.110. I have tried the lient both inside and outside my local subnet, with no difference in events or outcomes.

i find this is an issue which might be tiresome for everyone except for those experts. Esp. for the computers which are dual booting(both windows xp and centos installed in the same computer), that when we are in CentOS we need to switch onto windows immediately. and vice versa. i see this is possible only by shutting down the centos/windows and then restarting onto the other OS.
Can anyone tell me the the solution to work simultaneously both xp and centos without the need of shutting down and restarting There maybe or may not be the solution...but i find the pleasure to know if there is for example, remote desktop connection in windows xp, is there any solution, we can work on windows via centos or vice versa ( in the same machine),

3 partitions (in order): Windows 7, CentOS and shared data partition.
I need to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (c:windowswinsxs seems to be something not easily remedied).
GParted didn't work in moving things around (bad sector) so I wiped out its partition (# 2 out of 3) and I was able to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (I can reinstall CentOS easily and not much work lost).
Except ... no more grub menu (unsurprising). This incantation does allow me to boot into Windows 7.
Is there any way of rebuilding the grub menu short of reinstalling CentOS (5.5)?

We are slowly migrating from a predominantly Windows house to a 50/50 Win/RHEL operation and even further in the future.Currently, we have a LOT of Windows folders that are created by custom applications which, upon creation of a new folder set, applies the corresponding ACL so that only the associated groups are able to access the folders. Now for the problem, we are migrating the applications to a RHEL55 environment and it is creating the folders on that system now but the groups are still residing in the Windows AD. Is there an "easy" (I know, a very relative term) to have the Windows groups given permission to the Linux shares without very much manual intervention?

I am wondering what is the fastest way for me to move files from a VPS running CentOS to my home PC? I do not have FTP or anything like that installed. Are there commands I can enter in putty, for example, that will simply download an entire directory on the VPS onto my home PC?

I'm experimenting with CentOS DS and have a question.Is it possible to attach windows xp machines to a CentOS DS? If so, how?!I think I've skimmed most of the documentation out there. Did I miss something? Is this not what the DS was designed to do?

I had Windows XP Pro 32 bit and CentOS 5.4 installed on my Dell M6400 laptop and life was wonderful. Until I had to reinstall Windows. In the process, I reformated the C: partition of the drive where the Windows operating system was installed. I was careful NOT to reformat anything else. Now I cannot boot CentOS. The drive that has both the Windows and CentOS still shows the same partitions as were there before I reinstalled Windows, namely:
NTFS (C:) 171.82 GB
/boot 102 MB
(F:) 60.96 GB
is where my CentOS partition has all of my linux data and apps. I assume /boot should be the boot partition for CentOS I use Acronis OS Selector to show the partitions to boot. Now CentOS doesn't show as an option even if I go through the process of trying to detect a CentOS boot partition using OS Selector. I have researched this in the forums but have not found anything that was of help. There was a thread from someone who had trouble booting Ubuntu on a system with Windows Vista and CentOS but I did not see anything there that looked like it would help in my situation.

I have a small network with my Centos 5.6 box and a Win XP PC on it.I can access the files on the PC from the Centos box by bringing up the RUN window (ALT-F2 in Gnome) and typing smb://192.168.1.X/C (where X is the address of the PC), and I get a window with the C: drive from my PC. I can then drag/drop files between the Centos box and the PC. Here are my questions:
1) I want to script the file transfer, so how do I do this from the command line?
2) On the PC, I have 2 drives C, and E. They appear to be set up the same, but the E drive looks empty when I do this using the interactive method above.
I found this tutorial http:[url]..... but I can't get my PC "visible" in the smbtree.Really, I just want to write a script that does a backup on the Centos box and copies it to the E (External) Drive on the PC. (I'm a novice when it comes to administration)

I'm attempting to setup VNC in way that emulates our other OpenSUSE installs - where you can connect to servername:1 and be presented with a graphical login screen. From there, you login and have a full desktop session.
I followed some steps from this site (very easy): [URL] ... and it worked like a charm. I get the graphical login screen, I can login, I can open terminal, some apps, move windows around, no problem. But, here's the problem: SOME windows refuse to appear.
For example, if I try to open "Add/Remove Software", it first prompts me for the root password, but then all I get is a "busy" mouse cursor and an entry on the task bar at the bottom that says "Starting Add/Remove Software" for about 5 seconds and then it dies off. The same thing happens for "Software Updater" and for almost EVERY entry under the SYSTEM>ADMINISTRATION menu. Which, basically means I can't change any settings via the GUI, which is kind-of the point! =)
I can't find any logging that helps me diagnose this, the windows just never appear. The behavior is the same whether I login as a user or root from the login screen (but, obviously, the root user doesn't prompt me for the password prior to running the apps). I've tried lots of different tweaks on the configs mentioned in the link above, but nothing makes any difference.
Edit: Version is CentOS 5.4 x86_64 I performed a yum update + reboot, no changes.

I am trying to run X windows on CentOS with GNOME. When I first enter startx i get the message:
Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.
Then I removed the .X0-lock file ran startx again and I got this message:
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
Finally, I ran startx -- :1 and then it flashed a black screen with the X mouse cursor but a second later it just went right back to the desktop.

OK Here's how it was:
1 I have 2 SATA drives - The first (/dev/sda) is a Windows only drive The second (/dev/sdb) has a Linux Partition + Swap (sdb1 and sdb2) of 40GB and the rest is an ntfs partition(sdb3)
I used to have Ubuntu on the Linux partition that nicely detected Windows, installed the bootloader on sda and correctly set up the boot options, everything "Just worked"!
Since I'm studying for RHCT I decided to wipe Ubuntu for CentOS, Centos also nicely detected an "Other" operating system, but it decided to install the bootloader to sdb. After a few minutes of frustration I realised this had happened and changed the BIOS to boot sdb instead of sda. While GRUB now happily boots CentOS, When I select Windows it just hangs.
I tried grub-install /dev/sda and changing the BIOS to boot sda, all I got was GRUB GRUB GRUB printed on the screen and then nothing happens.
get both OSes to boot? I suspect that windows doesn't like it if the bootloader is on a different drive to it's own partition.
UPDATE
It's OK I tried again to grub-install /dev/sda and changed the /boot/grub/device.map file and reversed the hd0 and hd1 entries, i then edited the menu.lst file and did the same, it now boots both OSes ok. The only downside is the nice CentOS background is missing in Grub now :)

In my office i have a network of 172.16.31.0 and a squid proxy server running, all other systems have windows XP and one system has centos. On centos system i have three lan cards and i want to test some things on it. So i assigned another IP on it of range 192.168.7.0/24 and same range on another windows system. And all the systems connected through a same network switch.
Unable to ping between Centos and Windows system. If i ping from one centos to windows system with the series of 172.16.31.0 then it replies very well but same thing is not happening in other 192.168.7.0/24 IP series.
