For some reason, when using this kickstart file the commands in the post section chroot is not executed. I used the ksvalidator to check the syntax and its correct.
Code:
# Kickstart file.

Is there an easy way to prevent the logging of commands run into syslog as post-shell expansion?
I.e log a command of "ls *.log" as just that, rather than "ls a.log b.log c.log d.log" It makes rather a mess of the log files.
Configuring a complex network in Ubuntu SERVER is a breeze. Doing so in Ubuntu DESKTOP has been a mess. The obvious culprit is the GUI based network manager. What I want to accomplish: DESKTOP boots up with active networking even before anyone logs in. This would be both wired and wireless. When someone logs in (user or administrator or root), the network manager is NOT started and thus can't mess up the networking.
Multiple IP addresses, including static and calculated, both IPv4 and IPv6. Also some static routes to multiple routers (maybe adding RIP or OSPF in the future). I already made script to do this smoothly in Ubuntu SERVER. Laptop users can still configure their computer for use at home by SOME means, even if command line or a script. It's OK to have to reboot to switch between office and home network.
I'd prefer to leave network manager installed, and just have it not run. But if uninstalling it is the best way to get it out of the way, let me know. So far this is all just Ubuntu, but Kubuntu or Xubuntu might also be preferred by future staff.
I am trying to access the cvs; I issue following commands :
After several minute later.....
ssh: connect to host cvs.tuxbox.org port 22: No route to host
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
I get above response. In past many occasion I access this cvs repository without any problem but now without any change in client (in my computer) the whole system kicking cvs command out altogether. I wonder what gone wrong suddenly? I manage to update the same repository using cvs update; never had any problem before in past.
Is any one came across such sudden change in cvs access.
What I have solved:
8 GB Pendrive
FAT32 (vfat) bootable
CentOS 1-7.iso's are in directory /CentOS
kickstart is called with:
installation is PERFECT!
but
I CAN'T GET THIS TO WORK and I can' find and detailed document's on this
Now that we got that out of the way, here's the problem and I hope someone can help me. Before posting, I read everything I could find here about partitioning in gparted (at least what I think applied to my situation). I'm pretty sure that this has an easy answer (or I hope it does).
I originally installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a USB stick to try and retrieve files from a failed NAS drive. That worked pretty well a very smart guy who posted instructions on how to do the hex editing necessary to realign and enter a reiserfs disk) so I decided I'd jump in and play with Ubuntu. I decided to port my USB install to an 80GB USB drive I had kicking around, but the install didn't actually take the whole disk the way I thought it would, it only took the 7.xGB from the USB drive.
I didn't notice (I know, dumb) and then I did the 11.04 upgrade to it. I'm trying to recapture the other 65GB of unused space via gparted, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to extend the original boot partition (I have no /home partition). i tried to format the unused space to ext4, but no matter what i do I can't expand that original partition (I can shrink it if that matters). Just to be clear, I booted from a live cd 10.10, and I'm running gparted on the unmounted USB drive. The boot partition should not be active.
My screen shots capability is not working correctly right now, but I'll post one if I can. I can only get a full screen shot, and this is on a 30" monitor.. I just want the active window the /dev/sdj1 partition is on the left (7.11GiB) witha boot flag, then the Ext/Swap at 377MiB each /dev/sdj2 and 5) and then another 68,85 GiB partition, currently formatted to Ext4 on the right labeled /dev/sdj3. No other partitions. I can extend the Ext/swap, but not the boot partition.
I'm running xen as installed from the CentOS Virtualization Suite and I'm having some problems. One of my VMs powers off immediately after an error during 'POST'. Is there a way to stop it from immediately powering off so I can see the error? And there's also at least one error message that appears for a split second after the vm craps out, before the gui console reports 'Guest not running'.

I understand I can (and will) put this package in the packages section, but isn't it bad that yum is still finishing up when the post installation is initialized? Has anyone else noticed this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a dual Xeon 5570 (Nehalem) server. It clocks down properly, but never, under any circumstances that I've found, clocks up past its TSC. Even when running basically nothing but cat /dev/zero > /dev/null, nothing gets clocked higher than the TSC. Below is the turbostat output, which clearly knows what the hardware is actually capable of, but it never actually achieves it. I'm running Lenny, with backported kernel 2.6.30-bpo.2-amd64. I tried the 2.6.32 backport and there wasn't any difference. know where I should look next? BIOS settings? Do I need to change some kernel option and recompile?
# ./turbostat
Nehalem multiplier 22, TSC frequency 2933 MHz
Nehalem 4 cores active: 24 mult, max turbo frequency = 3200 MHz
Nehalem 3 cores active: 24 mult, max turbo frequency = 3200 MHz
Nehalem 2 cores active: 25 mult, max turbo frequency = 3333 MHz
Nehalem 1 core active: 25 mult, max turbo frequency = 3333 MHz

I want to design a kickstart file that creates an unattended installation (I've passed that part). After it installs, I want it to automatically read the device's MAC address and change the hostname to match the MAC address with the separators removed. (For example if the MAC address is 01-02-03-04-05-06, the prompt after login should read "root@010203040506")
I know this is entered in the "%post" section of the kickstart file, and I know I'm supposed to use the "cut" and "sed" commands, but I have no idea what I'm doing or how to do it. script so I can copy/paste it into my kickstart file?
I am using apache2 with subversion and trying to get post commit script to run an svn update command. All svn commands seem to work fine manually
Everything used to work fine but then the server ip changed and I can no longer access it with the web name and have to use the ip directly

I just started setting up a linux box in the office...I have some experience with ssh commands but not setting up a linux system and stuff.The box is connected to our network but I have no clue how to make windows & osx talk with it. How can I go by doing that and also setting up an apache server to be able to connect through network. Right now I have apache/linux/mysql running it works when i go to localhost, but I would also like to let all the computers in office to access it. I would guess that will deal with virtual host which I know how to setup. I just need to setup an IP.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOur CentOS 5 server had a weird issue last Friday. We couldn't run any bash commands, such as ls, vi. It said that it could not find /bin/ls. The only commands we can run are internal commands, such as ps, cd. After we reboot the server, everything is back.
I don't know what's wrong with it. Does anyone give me a explanation?
I would like to find documentation on all the available terminal commands and syntax for CentOS 5.
I have googled and looked through the wiki and found nothing about the terminal to my ability.
As for what I am referencing by commands:
sudo: I get the su means super user
cd: change directory
rm: remove, I don't know how to remove folders.
General navigation and using the terminal to create files/directories/open file editor/etc..
For example, when I want to have an identical line to the above line, I must press "yy" and then P (or p). Could somebody give me the list of such commands.

the problem is it doens't find libtoolize. I've tried to search it with 'yum search" but with no luck.Where can I find this package? Or is it a command include in some other package? In that case how can I solve this problem? Next problem is autogen.sh. It says I don't have aclocal but automake in installed as a package.

I've had a server setup working perfectly for the last 2 years. Today we installed a newer version of postgresql and recompiled apache/php.
Postgresql will not start now.
"service postgresql start" = /var/lib/pgsql/data is missing. Use "service postgresql initdb" to initialize the cluster first. To initdb we need to be as user postgres.
"su - postgres" = "no file or directory"
In /etc/passwd = postgres:x:26:26:PostgreSQL Server:/var/lib/pgsql:/bin/bash
how i can login as postgres user and enter these commands?
