CentOS 5 :: Create A CentOS Based LiveCD That Mounts A NFS Share And Executes One Script?

Aug 14, 2009

I'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).

Here is the remainder of the KS :
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
timezone US/Eastern

CentOS 5 :: Rsync To A Samba Share Ignores Force Create Mode?

Jan 12, 2011

Have an issue with my CentOS server. I have a fully updated Centos 5.5 server and I have samba set up to serve shares to a couple of groups in my home office. I have it set up to force user/group and force directory create mode 770 and force file mode of 770. This set up works perfectly well for normal connections to the server; no matter who connects, all files and directories are owned by the specified users/group and create modes I specify. The problem is when I try to rsync some files to the same shares. When I do this, rsync ignores the directory/file forced create mode. It will honor the user/group, however. As an example, if I create a directory on one machine connected to the samba share, I get the following:

drwxr-x--- 3 nobody users 0 2010-12-26 20:42 Misc Pics

CentOS 5 :: Creating A Simple Live CD That Executes A Shell Script?

Mar 9, 2010

I would like to a build a CD image (of CentOS 5, x86_64 that loads into memory and boots to the OS without installing anything to hard drives. Then I would like the system to execute a shell script automatically. The shell script will have commands that will control execution.

The goal of this exercise is basically to pre-configure a system (RAID config, BIOS update, etc) automatically using the shell script before installing the OS. I would like the ability to change the shell script as needed and probably repackage the ISO image. I would prefer not to deal with building a source tree to accomplish this. this is something one could do using mkisofs.

Ubuntu :: Daemon That Executes Commands Based On Input Device In Use?

Jan 28, 2011

I have a computer with a trackpad and a touchscreen. I want to run unclutter if I use the touchscreen, and kill it when I use the trackpad or a USB mouse.

The I'm pretty sure the touchscreen is /dev/input/mouse0, and the trackpad is /dev/input/mouse1

I have a general idea of how this should work, but no idea what tools and commands to use to implement it.

CentOS 5 Networking :: CIFS Mounts Hang When Pushing Data / Resolve This?

Apr 9, 2009

Ive seen this a hundred times while searching google but I can't seem to get any of the fixes suggested to work for me.

Here are the specs code...

I have other servers on the same network with the same software/hardware that never loses its mount to the windows share, and nightly backups are run through those mounts. So why does the mount on this machine fail when we do a push? The only conclusion that I can come to is there is some sort of time out on the windows server that causes this. The other servers that have this same type mount use their share every night, where as the share on this server gets used once or twice a week. Once the mount hangs I can not unmount it, I have to reboot the server. Once the server is rebooted the push works fine. But then the next week when a push is tried it hangs. What else can I check?

UPDATE: I've also tried NFS mounts and autofs mounts and they hang as well

I enabled logging by echo 1 > cifsFYI and this is what I see in var/log/message code...

Ive removed the actual file names for security concerns. Any one have ideas as to why this is happening? The only other thing I can think of to try is to swap out the NIC but it's at a remote location so I can't do that right now.

CentOS 5 :: Installing From An LiveCD?

Aug 12, 2010

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?

General :: How To Create Multiple Children Before Any Child Executes

Aug 27, 2010

Iv got an assignment to complete and I'm stuck at the basic level.

A part of the assigned problem is :

The main process will read the file, and will create N number of child processes (Where N is taken as input) as early as possible before all the children starts its execution. Before creation of each child, the main process should read the file to store all the required data in then corresponding data structure. Child processes should not read the file for getting their information.

As far as my knowledge about this , the child executes before the parent. How do I make the parent not pass the control to it's children before it finishes creating all the children?

General :: CentOS Not Booting From LiveCD?

Jun 21, 2011

I 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).

Files in LiveOS folder:
livecd-iso-to-disk
osmin.img
squashfs.img
TRANS.TBL

CentOS 5 :: Install The Cent From The LiveCD?

Jun 11, 2011

I'd like to download Cent 5.6, but I'm a bit confused on which ISO I need to download. I can't use any of the torrent files since my company FW won't allow it through. So, should I download the Live CD or ISO 1 through 8? Can I install the Cent from the LiveCD? If I decide to download ISO 1 through 8, how do I then combine them?

CentOS 5 :: Booting From LiveCD - No Install Icon?

Coming from Windows. First installed Fedora 11 but lost network and haven't been able to restore network connectivity. Attempted to re-install but during the boot process it complained about creating a soft link to /dev/root (not sure what this is about). So attempted to install CentOS by booting from the LiveCD. Much nicer interface but have no install icon and there doesn't appear to be installation guide. How I can install CentOS?

CentOS 5 :: Creating A Minimalistic LiveCD Image?

But when I try building the minimal image as a test, I get lots of errors, as seen in the attached build log. There are lots of things that don't seem to work. Is this project at a state where it's not currently usable? Or do I have a problem with my system configuration? I was running at root.

CentOS 5 :: Unable To Install From LiveCD - Release2.iso

Jul 8, 2010

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.

General :: Bash Scripting - Executes A Few Perl Scripts - Create A New Array And Take The Hostname

Apr 4, 2011

I'm writing a bash script that executes a few perl scripts. One of the perl scripts that I need to execute requires two arguments with it. The arguments are stored in a txt file, each line contains a hostname and its corresponding IP address separated by a ":" (colon), the txt file looks like this below:

[Code]...

I'm not sure if it's the best way to accomplish this but here it goes. In the bash file, let's call it getHosts.sh, I create an array and assign each line of the file to an element in that array. I then think I need to create a new array where I take the hostname (which is before the ":") separate it from its IP address and place the IP address on a new line just below the hostname (this way I can reference to it like $hostNames[$x] would be the hostname, and $hostNames[$x+1] would be its IP address). So the new array would now look like this below:

Programming :: Create A RS232 C Program That Executes A Series Of Commands Down The Line To A Robot?

Jan 5, 2011

I am trying to create a RS232 C program that executes a series of commands down the line to a robot. Everything seems to work fine, except any sequential write to the serial port. At first I thought it was the UART's buffer being filled too fast, but even with a 50 uS delay it still throws the error.

Here is my code:

Code:
#include <termios.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
