Now i want to create a resue disk for my Centos5.5i think mondoArchive tool is best for this job.i installed mondo by usingyum install mondoand it is intalled successfullybut i cant see it inApplication>sytem toolshow can i run it in a GUI mode.
View 7 RepliesI install CentOS 5.5 from DVD, set root password and log in as root. Then I install Mondo Rescue backup solution, make a backup and restore from it. After that, the system boots just like before, but I cannot log in. When I enter the right password, a couple of lines of text flicks briefly on a screen, too fast to read and the it returns to the initial password prompt. When I enter wrong password, it says "Login incorrect".What am I doing wrong?
I am sending a message to mondo-devel mailing list, but I suspect the root of the problem lies in CentOS, or something that I do wrong with it?I have installed both i386 and x86_64 versions of CentOS 5.5 from DVD's, the problem is the same.I'm running this on a separate machine that I have just for experiments with CentOS and virtualization. I install CentOS with defaults except I uncheck "Desktop - Gnome" and check "Virtualization". I can reinstall if needed.
I created a CD image of my CentOS installation using mondo. When I booted from this CD and, in the restore process, selected an option to test the integrity of the image, it got to a certain point and said: Failure to execute /init. Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.The instructions say the kernel may need to be recompiled with certain options.Does anyone know if the CentOS kernel needs to be recompiled for use with mondo? If so, with exactly what options?I'm using CentOS 5.5. dmesg: Linux version 2.6.18-194.el5 (mockbuild@builder10.centos.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat4.1.2-48)) #1 SMP Fri Apr 2 14:58:14 EDT 2010.
Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what command I used to test the integrity of the mondo image, and http:[url]....the source of the instructions, is currently down.
i can't use imondo restore anymore, due to upgtading to jessie, did aynone get to make it work with jessie. I love to use mondo restore because i can get hots backpus, and i can do partial restore so i can restore my full system preserving home foldest, other way i have to move my home folder, very much waste of time. I cant get installed it but it doesnt open up, it says mondo, mindi bad installed or something like that.

I came across the recommendation in [URL] "to adapt your /etc/apt/preferences file to avoid updates of mondo with apt-get with indeed older versions" because of problems using Mondo with 8.04. I have been unable to find the file /etc/apt/preferences in my system using file search or the Synaptic Manager. When I tried to create a file with this name the Synaptic Manager got up set.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter I spent some time discovering The BIG BANG of Universe and The Meaning of Life :
I managed somehow to create a script to make some backup of files on server and TAR it and then FTP the archive to another location FTP server and then emails result.
It also measures time needed to complete it and deletes archive older than XX days (set in find -mtime +20) and makes incremental backup every weekday and FULL on Sundays (which suits me bcoz no heavy load).
Files for TAR to include and exclude are in txt files listed each line separate name:
file: including.txt:
I have an executable program to install, but no package, installer, etc. Where do I put it so I can launch it from anywhere? Even in the folder I unzipped it to I cannot run it. I get "command not found". I read somewhere to use ./ in front of it, but then I get "permission denied error"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on a Centos v5.2 platform that does not have Yum installed. I am trying to install it via this method:
$ wget [URL
$ tar -zxvf yum-3.2.28.tar.gz
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Sounds simple right? The "configure" script isn't included in the Yum archive.
Is there a startup option I can put in the /etc/init.d/mysqld script or an option in the /etc/my.cnf file to enable the Archive engine for MySQL or do I have to compile it from the source?

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 onto HP EliteBook 8540w notebook and would like to backup the entire disk using some popular backup tool.
I have searched in the internet and found the closest tool is PartImage. But the bad news is that it does not support ext4 fs!
i have a server which i have no physical access to, all i can do is boot in rescue mode from a live debian CD and i want to know of a way to install CentOS from iso image or maybe NFS? on that server using this debian live CD.
since it's live CD i can't mount the iso image and boot from it cos after reboot nothing will be preserved. so the case in breif is, i am booted form debian live cd and i want to install CentOS on the machine from that system using iso image
I am attempting to work with adding a new hard drive with a default logical volume setup. In order to complete the task, I am instructed to use a live CD to boot the system without mounting the drives using linux rescue. I am using CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso
I have reviewed the centos documentation. When the live CD boots, it starts a count down to an automatic boot. I attempt to invoke the boot options as directed by hitting the tab and adding the words
linux rescue
At the end of the line and hit return to begin the booting process.
Unfortunately, the linux rescue boot option is ignored and the system mounts the hard drive. Additionally, I have checked the boot option several times by hitting the tab a second time and the option is not displayed.
In researching the issue, I inevitably get very similar instructions like:
Quote:The first centos CD or DVD has a rescue mode, just type on the boot screen: linux rescue
I am trying to build a server based on an ASUS P5BV-C, which has dual-Marvell 80856 Gig-E ethernet controllers.If I boot into rescue mode, using CentOS 5.3, x86_64, disc 1, I can start eth0, and it configures via dhcp. No problems.
If I boot the same disk with 'linux askmethod' and select http as the install method, it tries to start eth0, then times out trying to get dhcp. Checking tty3 (or 4, i forget) indicates the eth0 link is up, but no communication. Manual configuration doesn't work either.
Booting to CentOS 5.5 works and I am able to login with all my devices mounted. When I boot from the install DVD and type "linux rescue" I eventually get the message, after attempting to have one of the screens mount my partitions in read/write mode:
"An error occurred trying to mount some or all of your system. Some of it may be mounted under /mnt/sysimage." But nothing appears mounted under /mnt/sysimage. Should I try mounting my CentOS 5.5 partitions manually at this point ?
I installed ubuntu on a second hard drive.Nowhere did the fracken ubuntu installer ask my permission to over-write my mbr but that's exactly what it did.I'm booted off the rescue CD trying to restore the mbr to how centos left it (I'll add ubuntu to grub manually) but I can't boot into rescue.linux rescue results in a kernel panic suggesting I need the noapic argument. Makes sense, I needed that to install and need that in grub.linux rescue noapic boots into the installer, not rescue.How do I boot into rescue mode with the noapic kernel argument?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been reading about rescue CD's but haven't found out whether I can make one using my currently running Centos(centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1 ).I tried to use a Centos cd we have here and it looks fine till it asks where the 'tree' structure is located, when I select cd it ejects it and asks the same question again. Do I need to build a rescue cd containing directory info of my specific system?This is related to wanting to fsck my file system.

I am trying to search a tool for testing multicast. Currently, 'yum search multicast' yields nothing. I saw mcsender and mctest in google but they seem not to be supported in CentOS. Do you know any tool that can test multicast?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOften after using the network tool, making changes, saving changes, closing the tool, and running a 'service network restart'; the tool will not open again unless I reboot. This is the case both via System --> Administration --> Network and system-config-network (from the command line). I am in runlevel 5, as an uprivileged user when this happens.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a tool to index the files on my PC to allow full text search. I use recoll on Ubuntu and it does a great job. As I described in a previous post there does not seem to be an rpm package available for recoll on CentOS and I have not been able to build from source.So I tried beagle. In a nutshell the old version of beagle available for CentOS 5.6 does not do a good job of indexing pdf files. The newest version, tried on Linux Mint, does not do much better. And the beagle web site seems to be gone so I am not sure if it is an active product.
I have done some searching and most of what I find appear to be tools for indexing a web server. That is a bit of an overkill for my needs. I simply want to be able to search old email archives, OpenOffice documents, text and pdf files stored and accessed locally on the PC?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running CentOS 5.6 on my servers (auto-updating to the latest patches). A couple of days ago, a number of updates were applied:

View 6 Replies View RelatedIf I open my 3.3MB .jpg file in Microsoft Paint and re-save it as .jpg it will right away loose it's size and go down to 1.5MB and still keep the good quality.
I have 100s of these picture files, so I can't set down and do it one by one in Paint.
I am wondering if there is any command in Centos 5.4 or tool that I can use to not only make these files size smaller but also to standardize their size to let's say 800 X 600. The latter is not really needed but it will be bonus if someone can guide me.
I am running a php photo gallery script and it takes way to long to load the picture hence the requirement to lower the size for all the files.
I know that there is "mogrify" and "convert" but I think they don't work without GIMP. I don't have GIMP installed and I do install it I think it goes on to install a lot of gnome libraries which I am afraid might break my server or overload it too much. My CentOS doens't have any GUI or gnome package to it and I want to keep it simple.
