Re: OpenStack Grizzly on CentOS-6.4

Florian La Roche — 2013-05-19T06:39:16

These kickstart files look very good. The 4 files each contain changes
not merged into the others, so you might want to diff/merge these a
little bit.

Too bad there are still no "official" CentOS images out there, also
Fedora working more towards Fedora-19 than RHEL6. :-)

I can't say for sure it'll do what you want, it should be tested
extensively to make sure it doesn't destroy your car, sleep with your
wife,steal your money, etc etc all the warnings I can give, but I'd
suggest perl.   this is something I cooked up on a conf call:


[zep< at >nemesis throwaway]$ cat centoslist
CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
CN=DATA.OU=XYY.OU=MEM.O=CO
CN=DATA.OU=XZZ.OU=OOP.O=CO
[zep< at >nemesis throwaway]$ cat cent-req
#!/usr/bin/perl

open(FH,"< $ARGV[0]") || die "can not open $ARGV[0]:";

while(<FH>){
  chomp $_;
  if($_=~/OU=/){
     $prepend=$_;
     < at >prepend=split(/.OU=/,$_);
     $mod=$prepend[1];
     $mod=~s/\..*//;
     $_=~s/^CN=/CN=${mod}_/;
  }
  print "$_\n";
}
[zep< at >nemesis throwaway]$ perl cent-req centoslist
CN=XYZ_DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
CN=XYY_DATA.OU=XYY.OU=MEM.O=CO
CN=XZZ_DATA.OU=XZZ.OU=OOP.O=CO

Larry,

Thanks for the answer. Still having trouble making it work. Been looking 
at sed for the last two hours. Let me give a specific example of a few 
lines I would want to change:

Let's say my original lines are:
CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
CN=DATA.OU=XYY.OU=MEM.O=CO
CN=DATA.OU=XZZ.OU=OOP.O=CO

I want them to look like:
CN=XYZ_DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
CN=XYY_DATA.OU=XYY.OU=MEM.O=CO
CN=XZZ_DATA.OU=XZZ.OU=OOP.O=CO

So I need to take the data after the FIRST OU and stick in front of DATA 
with an _ in between. The rest of the line then remains the same.

Hope it makes sense. Appreciate the help!

Thanks,
James

6.4 on old PC not connecting

Beartooth — 2013-05-18T20:46:10

 On an old server (Dell PowerEdge SC1420, now without RAID) 
    I have CentOS 6.4 installed, up, and running -- but it 
    keeps failing to connect for some reason ....
   
        NetworkManager applet 0.8.1 runs blue rings around in the 
   panel for a while, then reports itself disconnected. It also 
   offers a pseudo-choice, if I right-click, between Wired 
   Connection and eth0; in fact, the cable to the router is the only 
   connection the machine has or has ever had.
   
        I've tried such things as I could find to get a 
   connection, in vain. I've tried replacing the cable.
   
        If there's a good fix, I'd like to get my wife running CentOS, 
   because it's one obvious choice for her to have against such time 
   as I'm gone. (I don't at all claim to be the Oldest Subscriber, 
   but I am at an age such that I would be irrational not to plan for such 
   contingencies.)

OT: Script Help

James Pifer — 2013-05-18T19:15:36

Sorry for the off topic, but don't a better resource. I'm not great at 
scripting, but need a quick script to modify a file.

I have a long file that has lines like this:

some text
some text2
CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
some text3
some text4

And this repeats, but XYZ changes. "DATA" is always called data. (it's 
being renamed basically)

I need to change the middle line but leave the rest of the file as is 
like this:

some text
some text2
CN=XYZ_DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
some text3
some text4

Anyone know a quick way to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
James

I posted this to the Jitsi users mailing list on Thursday last and
have received no replies.  Does anyone here have any idea of what is
causing this and how to fix it?

One other bit of information.  When I first installed Jitsi it
initially worked for a non-privileged user as I ran it from the gnome
menu of my login account.  However, at some point it seemed get
'confused' and hung.  Since then I have been unable to get it to run
as a non-privileged user.  I have removed and reinstalled it.  I have
also rebooted the host.  Nothing changes its current behaviour.

Re: F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso

Arun Khan — 2013-05-18T12:42:50

In my post, I also mentioned that a plain dd of the ISO file onto an
USB pen drive works for the netinstall use case.

However, the dd method does not work for if you want  the install to
happen from the pen drive (w/o network connectivity).

The OP was having problems with the livecd-tools, the links quoted
earlier provide a manual method to do so.

Re: F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso

Scott Robbins — 2013-05-18T12:02:53

FWIW, I have found that recent Fedora installs, at least the net.iso, works
without problem, whether one uses livecd-tools or dd.  

I haven't reinstalled CentOS from USB in awhile, and don't remember which I
used.  I am sure that livecd-tools worked (again for the net.iso) and I'm
pretty sure that dd also worked.

Re: F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso

Arun Khan — 2013-05-18T08:26:06

Although it sounds like a F18 issue, the under lying issue (IMO) is
that it the dd of ISO image to a pen drive device does not work  with
the RHEL/CentOS installer.

Whereas with other Linux distros like the Debian / openSUSE / Ubuntu
it is possible to dd the ISO images on to a pen drive, boot from it
and complete the installation [1].

The OP is trying to use a tool which supposedly makes a
bootable/installable USB device.

Search keywords "centos create usb boot disk" throws up helpful links.
  The manual methods may the way to go to achieve the objective.

Re: Best configuration for encrypted software RAID 1?

Dave Johansen — 2013-05-18T01:48:34

That example is helpful for the RAID stuff, but it doesn't show an
example of encryption and so that's what my question is really about.
Should the raid line have the encryption like I have in my example? Or
should it be on each of the partitions? I'm just curious if there's a
pro/con to each of those options. My very basic/quick testing seemed
to indicate that doing it on the raid line was the better solution,
but I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this?

Thanks,
Dave

Re: F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso

Mark LaPierre — 2013-05-17T21:39:23

This sounds like something you should post to the Fedora Users list. 
The problem probably lies with the F18 application, not with the CentOS 
ISO image.

Re: Best configuration for encrypted software RAID 1?

SilverTip257 — 2013-05-17T16:42:46


That looks right.  Maybe somebody else will have a tip.

The key to your puzzle is --encrypted and you've got that.

I don't have a kickstart config that has both software raid and luks
encryption, so that's a scenario I have not tested.  Sounds like a perfect
lab to spin up a VM on a Friday! :)

Re: device in use after a reboot

Michael Schumacher — 2013-05-17T15:48:49

Hi,


I think this is not so uncommon. In my experience this has to do with
the initialization of PCIe controller cards. I assume you are using a
RAID controller, right? I saw that with Areca RAID-controllers in the
past as well with LSI-controller these days.

I am using UUID for that purpose. Not really convenient, but safe. You
probably don't have to change that as soon as it is running, so the
strange UUID designators are no big issue.
