I've got a fresh install of RHEL5 with updates installed running on a PC104. If the machine starts up the screensaver, I can't ever get out of it. The mouse pointer comes back up on the screen, but the desktop doesn't appear or a box to enter a password. I try to reboot X and get an error that X can't be started and it drops me to a prompt. I reboot from the command line and then I get the filesystem error and have to wait 2 hours while it scans.

I have an RHEL 5 server joined to a windows domain. However I wanted to add variable lines to be executed each time a user logs in. However I succeeded to put them in /etc/bashrc file and it worked like a charm.
But its annoying that everytime the user logs in to the shell remotely it displays the whole variables that were declared. Is there a way how to add them once and not to display the output each time the user logs in?
I am trying to configure a system to boot Windows XP, CentOS 4 and RHEL5. I have one hard drive that contains both Windows XP and CentOS 4, and a separate drive that contains RHEL5. Until recently, I only had one SATA cable, so I could only connect one drive at a time. Under this configuration, everything works fine. When the RHEL5 drive is connected, I can boot into it. When the Windows/CentOS drive is connected, I can dual-boot into either OS. (GRUB was configured on this drive automatically when I installed CentOS into a new partition.)
Opening the box and moving the SATA cable is a lot of trouble, so I finally got a second SATA cable and enabled both SATA0 and SATA1 in the BIOS. I currently have the Windows/Centos drive as the primary, and I can still boot into both Windows/Centos. Now, I want to add RHEL5 to menu, but I can't find the file GRUB is using to present its menu at startup.
I have configured GRUB before on other systems, but I just know the very basics, such as where the grub.conf file should be. So, I spent a whole day reading advice online and asking friends who might have experience with these issues. Here are the steps I have taken so far:
I confirmed there is no /boot/grub directory, and /etc/grub.conf is a broken soft-link to /boot/grub/grub.conf. I did a find for grub.conf, which found nothing. I did a find for menu.lst, which found one item -- an example GRUB config file in /usr/share/doc/grub-0.95. I noticed that when CentOS boots, I see the GRUB commands printed to the screen, the first of which is:
root (hd0,2)
So, I did a grep -R "(hd0" * at the / directory, which also found only one item -- the example menu.lst file in /usr/share/doc/grub-0.95. I discovered that I can go to the command line grub from the grub menu and do:
cat (hd0,2)/grub/grub.conf
The cat command returns a printout of the grub configuration the system is obviously using. I didn't create this file, but the titles are identical to what I see in the GRUB menu, the default boot is Windows, and the timeout is very short. This must be the file. It looks like:
default=2
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.9-89.ELsmp)
[Code].....
I've also tried making the RHEL5 drive the primary drive. In that case, I can modify the existing /boot/grub/grub.conf file and see my changes at the GRUB boot menu. However, I can't get Windows to boot in this configuration. I've done a lot of google searching on the topic and added map commands to make Windows think it is on the primary drive. But, I'm still unsuccessful on this front as well. I think I'm closer to solving the problem with Windows/CentOS as the primary. However, if you think I will have more success with RHEL5 as the primary drive, I can provide more details as to my current grub.conf on that drive in a later post.
I have a running RHEL5 system, which has two physical disk drives, but is currently running on a single drive of the pair. The single drive the system is running on contains a root/boot partition and a swap partition. I would like to be able to add a mirror drive to this existing setup without having to disturb the running system (much). That is, I don't want to have to completely dump, reinstall (creating the mirror on the way up), and reload from backup media if I can avoid it. I have seen procedures that go as follows:
- the "extra drive" (the one not being used as the current root/boot device) is first brought under LVM control as a root object with one physical mirror attached.
- the data from the running root/boot drive is rsync-ed over to the LVM-controlled half-mirror, and boot records added.
- System rebooted on newly created half-mirror.
- Original root prepped to be second side of LVM mirrored root, and is added in.
Can one boot from an LVM disk directly? There seems to be some question on this that came up in other lists I had read online.
the whole system seems to have lost its smoothness .. it looks intermittent whenever I maximize or move a window .. playing videos look choppy .. moving the cube is heavy.

I have a server which is located in the basement. The server exports a few directories which I mount on my desktop using NFS. From time to time, the connection gets lost. The server is also not always on. I can't change that part, so I worked out a script which notifies me when it's going down, and when it's back up again. It also mounts everything back.However.. As soon as I loose the connection, my desktop seems to be gone. KDE doesn't work, but I can use a few applications like Konsole, google-chrome, firefox, stuff like that. But the plasma-desktop around it hangs.
As soon as the connection gets back again, everything works. I have this issue only when my desktop is running while I loose the connection to the server. If it's down when I start my desktopworks properly. Unless the server comes alive, the nfs directories are mounted and the connection is lost again.I'm not really sure if this is a networking case, it could also be KDE related, but I figured this was the most reasonable place to put my topic in.My hardware:

We've recently created 3 new RHEL5 servers and added them to the existing workgroup which all our other 7 RHEL4 servers run on. (All servers have been added into DNS). We seem to be having a few issues pinging 3 of the RHEL5 servers.
Below is an example of our ping tests:
WinsSrv1: Can ping all but RHELSrv1
WinsSrv2: Can ping all REHL Servers
WinsSrv3: Can ping all but RHELSrv2
WinsSrv4: Can ping all but RHELSrv2 & RHELSrv4
WinsSrv5: Can ping all RHEL Servers
There is no real pattern as to what server we can ping. We can ping all RHEL4 servers with no issues. All REHL5 servers can ping themselves with no issues.
in order to select multiple items, shift key was hold for several seconds[sure > 8sec] and there after system is not taking any input from keyboard. however only the mouse works. i searched a lot and found some remedies like hold right and/or left shift keys for 8 sec and it will revert back. press shift key 5 times and hold ins key for 8 sec etc,. but i tried all these and none of it seems to be working. i even hold some alphabet key for 8 seconds to see if it takes input, but none of them seems to be working
i connected this keyboard to other machine and it works fine. this keyboard is USB dell keyboard. i tried logging in init level 3 and even with this i can not input anything from keyboard. i did reboot several times and unable to even login as it does not take any keyboard input. the only way i can access this system is to remote login from other system and work on command prompt!!is there a fix to it? accidentally if something is changed in which file it is saved? can i edit that file and restore to normal? am not sure if all these does not work i may have to reformat!! but this is the last thing i want to do

Can anybody explain how I can set a hostname alias in RHEL5. We are testing RHEL to replace our Solaris LDAP servers, one of the things we need is to be able to set a hostname alias on the public interface.In solaris we can just update the /etc/hosts file to something like
ipaddress hostname alias1 alias2
Things looks alittle different in RHEL, the host file only contains
127.0.0.1 hostname.fqdn localhost.localdomain localhost
I read about the sysconfig/network files but can only see about changing the hostname there and nothing about setting a different alias.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535 Laptop. It has an SiS 191 Gigabit Ethernet card, and an Atheros 5007EG wireless card. To begin with, the connection configuration was so bad I could only access Gmail and everything else was too slow to even work. I then came across a solution in a bugs page whereby I changed MTU to 1492 and the connection now actually works. Everytime a browser or apt-get makes a fresh connection request, it starts transferring data real quick 150-300 KB/s but then tails off exponentially, and within a few seconds is only bumping along at less than 1 KB/s. The fact that the initial rate is nice and then drops off is evidence to me that somehow the bandwidth is getting lost/wasted/miscomputed by the Ubuntu system.

I've been struggling trying to get a Lenovo T410 to display video on both it's internal LCD and an external display at the same time, and I need to get it working by Monday or I'm toast. know this will work with other distros, but we are contractually bound to use RHEL5.If we use the laptop on it's own there is no problem, however once we set it in the docking station, the external display shows no video, unless it is rebooted. Then it will only display video on the external and not the laptops own display.
Our engineers are constantly going to meetings and need to be able to undock the laptop and have the display appear without having to reboot. Then conversely, return to their desks and have the video on the external display without rebooting.I suspect that the problem is that RHEL5 is only up to release X11R7.1 of X.Org, which is still using version 1.1 of RandR and from what I can surmise, 1.1 of RandR does not recognize multiple video outputs.I was hoping that someone more knowledgeablthan I can confirm this and if I'm right do I need to manually build the latest release of X.Org to get this to work
