View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a CentOS based liveCD that mounts a NFS share and executes one script there. The NFS never mounts altough while logged I can mount it with the very same command that I use in the KS.
In the %post I have :
%post --log=/tmp/post.log --erroronfail
mkdir /mnt/nfs
mount -o nolock 10.23.1.1:/csc/RemoteHome /mnt/nfs
I added the --log in order to debug, but nothing is written in /tmp/post.log. I tried redirection on the mount command with >> /tmp/debug.log but this is not written. Maybe during the post sequence /tmp is RO ? Anyway, I tried with ifup lo, service portmap start in the %post, but doesnt change (I even have a service : command not found in the live cd creator output).

1- Is reviewing hardware that you have posted in the HCL considered 'bad form'?
2- Is it good, bad or indifferent to put up hardware that is not currently avaible? I've got several older computers, and I'm more than happy to put them up. I'd assume that its encouraged to do so, but seeing how I was going to ask the other question I thought there is no harm in asking.
I issue the command 'dd if=/dev/hdc|head -c 4294607004|m5sum'. But the checksum I get is not the correct one. Its not the checksum of the first 4294607004 bytes in /dev/hdc. And the message dd outputs is
8387904 records in
8387904 records out
Then I find 8387904 * 512 (512 because 4294607004 / 8387904 = 512.0000186) = 4294606848, which falls short of 4294607004 by a few bytes. But 8387905 * 512 > 4294607004. So I issue 'dd if=/dev/hdc ibs=512 count=8387905|head -c 4294607004|md5sum'. the message is still the same:
8387904 records in
8387904 records out
FC12 with recent updates The bugzilla I reported is fixed in selinux 3.6.32-66 and I have 3.6.32-56. I refreshed the repositories and looked for 66 and it is not listed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI usually install or upgrade using Ctrl + alt + F1 console in init3 mode.Despite this and while using # zypper re && zypper up i notice that often times upgrade is stopped when checksums are changed. Last day 250 packages could not be upgraded because of maybe 5 packages with changed checksums. Sometimes clearing zypper cache with zypper cc does the trick but not all the time it works, I had to force install manually to be able to upgrade. Is it possible that upgrade is not impeded by such changes ? If not is it at least possible to have a list of changed checksum packages to be able to remove them or install them manually more easily ?

View 0 Replies View RelatedFor the second time in a week, I have set up an unmanaged CentOS 5.5 Storm Server at StormOnDemand, only to discover a ton of unauthorized changes to binaries (updated file checksums and sizes) on the server shortly thereafter.The time stamps do NOT change.If the time stamps did change, I would be hunting down ahat was doing some auto-updates. But the time stamps are not changing.This leads me to believe that either these servers are suffering from:1. A virus or hacker is compromising the box.2. system corruption.3. Something else? To eliminate the possibility of number 1, I toasted the first server and started over with a new server and enabled their firewall from the start to only allow access for two IPs via SSH... my IP and my biz partner's.
Then, one of the first things we installed was a system we created that maintains a snapshot of most directories on the system so that it can be used to watch the live directories for changes. At 4:07am (server time) this morning, we received notice from this system that a massive number of files had changed in these directories. Again, no file time stamps changed.So, my question is this... is there any legitimate reason in a fairly standard CentOS 5.5 install that would cause so many files to change?

In my CentOS Bible, written by Timothy and Christopher it refers to a one button that you can install CentOS with one button from the LiveCD, or from CentOS running from the CD and install to the hard drive? I pressed everything and nada, as most everything does not function it seems. What am I missing that may go along with preparing these Dell 2650's?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the CentOS-5.6-i386-LiveCD.iso and burn it on a CD, as usual. When booting, it does the automatic boot but then crashes, with "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 354800 (and more)". I am having the same problem with making a boot-able USB. I am not exactly sure what is wrong, I see two folders on the cd LiveOS and isolinux. I'm not sure if it is suppose to be like this, if the burning process when ok. I'm trying to set up a desktop on a pc (with AMD Sempron processor). This is very strange, I ruled out that it couldn't have been my computer (because my Fedora boot disk booted fine), my cd (because it is new and an entirely different brand), or the .iso (because I tested it in VirtualBox, which it booted perfectly).

This might sound like a really daft question but how the hell do I install CentOS 5.5? I cant find any guide how to install the dam thing. I ve downloaded "CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso" & burnt this to a CD. I then booted my server form this CD. I see a very nice colourful screen which says "Automatic Boot in 10 seconds". After 10 seconds nothing happens. I then rebooted the server & this time I hit the enter key, I now see a menu with the following options:
Boot
Boot (text mode)
Network Instillation
Memory Test
Boot form local drive
If I try the "Boot" or "Boot (text mode)" options nothing happens. Selecting the Network Instillation appears to boot the install I then see a blue & red screen asking me to choose a language I picked English hit OK selected UK as the keyboard type hit OK Installation ethod...... Ive chose Local CDROM but the message says: The CentOS cd was not found in any of your CD drives.
after download CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2 i did not found install option ? how can i install it ??? on my laptop ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Linux for about 2 years now, mostly Ubuntu & derivatives, but I've also tried Fedora, Mandriva, and others. I wanted to give CentOS a try because I'm very interested in going for a Linux+ or similar certification, and so I'm looking to start learning how to configure & maintain Linux servers and so on. I have a friend who's a Linux sysadmin, and he recommended CentOS as a good learning tool.
Anyway, I've only got a wireless connection in my office at home (the actual cable modem is downstairs) so I intentionally chose a wireless adapter that would work with Linux -- it has a Realtek RLT8187 chip, for which there is support built into the kernel, or so I've read. It has worked out of the box in just about every distro I've tried, and indeed it worked OOTB when I tried out the CentOS 5.5 live CD.
However, when I actually installed the CentOS to my hard drive it no longer worked -- I have only a greyed out option for a wired connection (presumably since my motherboard has an ethernet adapter, but there is no connection). Why the wireless would work in the live session but not after install? Is there a firmware file or something I need to track down? I did look on this page, but it doesn't mention anything about RTL8187.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know that this question has been asked many times across many forums and last night, I finally figured out how to do it from Windows. I'll post the procedure for an existing Linux distro later. "Is it possible to run a LiveCD iso off of the hard drive?" Yes it is. Here's how:
1. Download the Fedora LiveCD from here.
2. An .iso file is basically like an archive; except that it's made for CDs. Extract the entire file into a vfat, ext3, or ext2 partition. I use WinRAR (for Windows) as my extractor. IMPORTANT: This method won't work if you extract the file into a NTFS partition.
3. Install UNetbootin and run it. Select "Fedora" as the distribution and "10 Net_Install" as the version. At the bottom of the dialogue screen, under type, select "Hard Drive" and next to that, select your partition (C:, D:, etc.).
4. Press OK. Unetbootin will install a basic GRUB bootloader. When it promts you to restart, press Cancel. You don't want to restart... yet...
5. Browse to your Windows partition (most likely C. You should see a folder called "unetin". Browse into that folder and you'll see a file called "menu". Open it with Notepad.
6. Paste this text at the bottom of the file:
title Fedora LiveCD
root (hdx,x) "NOTE: Replace hdx,x with your partition holding the extracted iso. Most likely, it'll be either (hd0,0), (hd0,1), or (hd0,2)"
[code]...
7. Restart and select "Unetbootin" when Windows shows your Bootloader. Wait 3 seconds and press Esc.
8. Select "Fedora LiveCD" and press enter. You should boot into the LiveCD. It might be slow, so be patient and it'll come up.
EDIT: COMMON MISTAKES AND ERRORS:
1. Grub Error 15: File not found: It's likely that you made a typo in the menu file or that you didn't set your /dev/xxx (hdx,x) parameters correctly. Try changing those around and it should work.
I have Ubuntu installed on my pc and it's just the way I like it setup. I want to make a LiveCD.
There was a tutorial (sorry can't remember URL) for remastersys but it was obviously obsolete as the lines to add to the repository were no longer live.
What is the absolute easiest way to create a LiveCD, hopefully something that is GUI based.
Other distro's have the ability to remaster (or make), a live cd of their install, is there an easy way to do this with Opensuse?
My thoughts are primarily with a fresh install complete with all updates, then make a live cd. In the event of a disaster a simple install from the live cd would get an updated version back again without the headache of installing updates, codecs etc...
Ubuntu has remastersys, PcLinuxOs can make Live cd's by a default app but i've not seen such things for Opensuse versions >= 11.1.
