General :: Port The Current Fedora4 System To The CentOS5 On A New Harddisk?
Feb 19, 2010
I am trying to port the current Fedora4 system to the CentOS5 on a new harddisk. Actually, the Fedora4 system is constantly being hacked due to my lazy update. So i prefer a fresh install of CentOS5. I am not clear what files need copy and what does not need for ease and for avoiding possible backdoors. Kinda a big problem,

I install Vmware in winxp sp3, then install centos 5.5-i386 release 2 in Vmware. I want to type some command like yum install ..., but where to open system command? I searched the menu applications places system on the top of the desktop, but I am not sure which one is.
I will receive a new Dell without any operating systems. I will need to install CentOS-5.5 on this machine. How can install it? What files do I need to download?
My computer will have no OS installed. Which is the easiest way to install, using CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso or CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso? What are the basic procedures?
I am using virtualbox to run windows xp.is there a way to access the harddisk occupied by linux and copy the information to the virtual memory in windows xp
I have been working with dualboot XP and ubuntu on my laptop and screwed the system completely. No matter what I do I get the message "Operating system not found".I also have been trying with, super grub disk, without success. My question: Can I solve the problem with a new or a blank Harddisk?
I installed Linux on a laptop once.. i'd like to do a dual boot but i've never done it before. Is there anything special i need to do? i don't want it to write over my current operating system.
how can I clone my installed ubuntu to a new harddisk? with 32bit ubuntu I have used:tar cvpzf -> create a tar file on my external nas system. after that I have done a restore tar xvpfz - worked with 32 bit.
Alternative I have mounted both disks and via another linux partition I have used: cp -rvbdR /source/* /target
both methodes worked with ubuntu 32 bit. With 64 bit ubuntu I can NOT get it to work. error message after booting the clone: /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthoriy ..
I can see that /source/var/lib/gdm has different rights as /target - will be part of the problem. This did not happen with the 32 bit ubuntu - but why ?
On a pc running Fedora4 with cups-1.1.23-15.4 , I have printers setup that can accept lp submitted jobs from other pcs, including windows pc on the LAN and a UNIX machine that is not on the lan.

I used checkinstall in fedora4 to make a rpm packed.The rpm pack is ok.When I used:
rpm -i xxxx.rpm to install the pack is ok. But when I used: rpm -e xxx to uninstall the pack didn't report error.But not uninstall. In my make file that checkinstall used is like this: install: FORCE
The default output audio port Ubuntu doesn't work on my system. It should be "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier", instead of "Analog Output/Amplifier". I can easily change that in sound preferences, just by choosing the right port in the "Output" tab. The problem is this would only apply to a single account, and I would like to change it system-wide, so it applies to all accounts on the system (I have more than 100 users...).
Update: I can achieve the same effect as I would by changing it in sound preferences using the following command: pacmd 'set-sink-port' 'alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.5.analog-stereo analog-output-mono;output-amplifier-on' Unfortunately that's still not system-wide,

I just bought a western digital of 3 TB. Unfortunately Gparted gives error. Gparted can create a about 2TB+1TB, but when it is the whole disk, it does not work. I tried JFS and EXT4.
I created 3 Volume Groups as you see up: VGRHEL, VGCENT, VGFEDORA; under every VG, i created 2 logical volumes ,just like below: VGRHEL=LVRHEL00(swap) + LVRHEL01(MountPoint: /) Below VG try to partition them the same as VGRHEL too. VGCENT=LVCEN00(swap) + LVCEN01(MountPoint: /) VGFEDORA=LVFEDORA00(swap) + LVFEDORA01(MountPoint: /)
I successed installed RHEL5.5 on VGRHEL, but when i try to use the same way to install CentOS 5.5, i got below error infromation: "Bootable Partitions cannot be on a logical volume" I don't why this happened, VGRHEL has logical volume too, but why i can install RHEL on it successfully.

I am going to allow myself a few cheeky ones next weekend. So I though it would be nice to have a clock on my desktop reminding me of how long to go. Is there a countdown clock I can add to my Gnome desktop? I am using Centos5 & F14.
I would like to ask today how to open up specific ports in Linux firewall (iptables). Recently I have changed the SSH port in server from 22 to 30022 by typing
Code:
# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Code:
Port 30022 "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" 111L, 3027C
And then for the iptables configuration file:
Code:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
[code]....
How to configure the iptables properly so that my Windows PC can access the Linux with port 30022?
