I have CentOS 5.5 (Final Release) installed on my netbook. I am trying to configure vmware on this machine. When I run vmware-config.pl it goes smooth until it tries to build vmmon module. It gives me following error when it tries to build vmmon module:
Code:
Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config10/vmmon-only'
I have tried installing Vmware-Server 1.0.10 on Fedora Core 12. After installing all packages it fails on building the vmmon module. In the internet i found many patches and vmware-any-any-updates...but nothing worked. My Kernel Vresion is 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE...
I am thinking about alternatives for VirtualBox (which i like, but the Oracle-story is making me think). After this thread: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=56314 I downloaded the vmware-player (manual, not with the download-manager ) and installed it.

I'm trying to build the kernel module for dvbhdhomerun. The problem is the linux kernel headers provided by Debian do not have the dvb header files. Trying to set up my own kernel source tree to use is not working out so well.
I'm following the instructions in the Debian section here: [URL] ....
My first try compiled, but the modules ender up under /lib/modules/3.2.51/extra instead of /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/extra. Why?
I tried to start over, but noticed this while running apt-get source linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64:
Code: Select allReading package lists... Done Building dependency tree    Reading state information... Done Picking 'linux' as source package instead of 'linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64' NOTICE: 'linux' packaging is maintained in the 'Svn' version control system at: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux/
[Code] ....
The failure to verify the signature has me concerned, but beyond that, what do I do about the different version number when compiling and installing the kernel modules?
I'm trying to set up a netbook I purchased that has a lot of more recent hardware, and so I'm having to compile some kernel modules on my own. I've installed Debian on this particular system, and so the version of gcc that was used to compile the kernel is older than the one currently in the repos. Now, I've installed the version I need, but can't remember how to specify building the modules in question with said version.
I've done this in the past, and recall temporarily changing some variable to use the different version, but it's been a while and I just can't remember. Is there an easier way to do this on the fly for any compilation? Or is changing a variable necessary? If there is no way to explicitly specify gcc version used prior to a compilation, could someone remind me of the variable I need to change to use x.x.x version?
I upgraded my kernel in my Debian Lenny to version 2.6.32-bpo.4-amd64 to fix a problem with a software and ALSA-related issues. The thing is that now, when I boot, eth1 is not enabled and I have to "load" (I guess) the driver each time. To do this, I go to the folder where all the files for the drivers are and I run:
modprobe lib80211 and then insmod wl.ko
That I got from the readme file. That gets the wireless working perfectly again, but when I reboot the wireless is dead again and I have to run the commands above again. I imagine that what I should do is to build the driver again, for my new kernel. However, according to the readme file, before I need to install linux-headers-generic and build-essential. With build-essential, it says it's already the newest version, and with the linux-headers, I don't know which one should I install for my kernel! I thought it would be the linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-amd64, but when I tried that, this is what happened:
debian:/home/hernan/Programas/hybrid_wl# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-amd64 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
[code]....
So the warning says something about the MODULE_LICENSE being missing... how to build the driver again to make it load each time I boot?
I am running Lenny and using VirtualBox OSE 1.6.6. In order to try squeeze I installed it in a VM. I tried to install Guest Additions also, but i get this error:
VirtualBox 1.6.6 Guest Additions installation Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel module... Building the shared folder support kernel module... Unable to build the kernel module.
I checked what /var/log/vboxadd-install.log had to say:

I tried with 3 versions of the kernel 2.6.32-5-686,2.6.32-5-484,2.6.32-3-686 but I cannot get it to work using any of them. Also I tried to install version 2.6.30-2-686 but I couldn't since synaptic said that it Depends: linux-kbuild-2.6.30 but it is not installable.
I have a few mail servers, a mail log server and a web server running on Centos 5. Now I have a task: to avoid accidental crashes on the production servers while installing updates, my boss asked me to do clones (these clones will all be VMware virtual machines) of the servers (EXCLUDING the actual e-mails and log contents) and then to run those clones on VMWare Server. This way, first I will install and test updates on the clones and - if they will be running without crashes - I will apply the updates on the real production servers themselves.
I have already installed VMWare Server 2.0 I have a few questions: How do I build the virtual machines to exclude the actual mail files and mail logs? Can I use VMware Converter for this purpose, or do I have to use another program? How do I actually do this cloning? Is there a tutorial on how to do this?
I'm trying to build boost on a 64-bit CentOS 5.4 install. I have Python 2.6.4 built and installed at /opt/Python_2.6.4/, and I've appended the user-config.jam file with:
The standard system Python is 2.4.1 but the tools I'm using require 2.6, so I've built this version and installed it independently of the system version 2.4.1 to avoid any conflicts.
As I'm sure you've already imagined, I get the error:
LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)
I see that this is a long standing bug, but I have yet to find a fix. I've tried various CCFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, etc. to push for a 64-bit compile or a 32-bit compile (-m64 or -m32).
The offending file is pyport.h - is there a 64-bit friendly version that I don't know about?
I have been try for a while now to build this and I am not getting very far. I have download the usbip-0.1.7.tar.gz from sourceforge.net I then followed [URL] to get a full kernel source. then went to usbip-0.1.7/drivers/2.6.18 and issued the command
Code: make KSOURCE=~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686 but it failed with: Code: /home/scott/usbip-0.1.7/drivers/2.6.18/stub_rx.c:377: error: redefinition of 'usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk'
I've met several issues recently while building the MySQL server from CentOS 5 SRPM. The root problem are the expired SSL certificates used for built-in tests making all the tests fail. The problem is widely described on the net and I am in doubt now what to do: should I submit a patch or what?
I have some problem installing ASM Software (LANDesk) a BMC module on server ACER ALTOS G330MK2 with centos 5.3 totally updated. Could someone help me to understand wich is the problem ?

I have builded my kernel through wiki manual, BUT, the kernel-headers rpm-package has not been builded. Now i have only two packages: kernel and kernel-devel. Is that ok? (i think, that it is not ok, because when i build the same version of kernel on x86_64 platform, after rpmbuild command i have kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages) My CentOS version is 5.2; platform i686; kernel, kernel-headers, kernel-devel packages 2.6.18-92.el5.
I would like to enable XML-RPC module on my dedicated server with CentOs 2.2-3.2.el5 hosted on 1and1 server. How do I enable this module? What are the procedures?
When I first installed VMWare Workstation and Player everything ran great. I guess after a system restart things started to get buggy. When trying to load my virtual machine I get the following error:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.Failed to initialize monitor device. Unable to change virtual machine power state: Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to I have tried running as root, through terminal, and reinstalling. The window still shows up eventually.
Trying to install an XP Pro virtual machine as a guest in VMware Workstation 7.1.2, fails with the error: "Could not open /dev/vmmon. No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmmon' is loaded".Host OS is Debian-Lenny. Was able to specify the new virtual machine configuration, but VMware failed to create the new image (because of the error specified in previous paragraph).
Is the problem that Debian is not loading/executing a needed process? Should I be directing this problem to either Debian or VMware? I searched the VMware documentation, and it mentioned something about chkconfig (Redhat), or the rcconf/ksysv utilities to change SUSE configuration levels. I am unfamiliar with the syntax, don't know why this is necessary.

I have installed CENTOS 5.3 on my machine and am running the new version of Subversion which comes bundled with Apache. I noticed in the httpd.conf file there is no module for PHP which is a problem. How do I install the PHP module for APACHE in Centos 5.3?
I am having this problem everytime I execute the yum command: There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named cElementTree
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:12) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)]
if i wanted to just download and install a module, how does centos have it where i don't have download the source and recompile the whole kernel withthe module enabled? i read about install kernel-devel but nothing much more on using it. for instance, if i wanted to download ext4 module and have the kernel use it?
