[CentOS] Issue with HP Officejet 6500 on CentOS 5.5
I just picked one of these up to replace my 4315, which broke (I think the feeder roller gear broke from an overstuffed feeder), but it's giving me problems. I had no trouble configuring it to print, but it doesn't appear in lsusb and xsane can't find it, so I can't scan with it, which is the main reason I bought it in the first place. I've tried restarting the autofs service (automounter), rebooting, and switching the USB cables with my old HP Scanjet 3300C, but the 3300 shows up on either cable and the 6500 doesn't appear at all. I checked in Google and saw other issues with the 6500, but this wasn't one of them. Any suggestions? I suppose I could get a switch and hook it up via Ethernet, but that really isn't a good solution, and it doesn't explain the problem. Thanks.

It printed but would not scan. I got the HP Open Source drivers and installed them and was no problems after that. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html They have 4 listings for the OJ.

Well their instructions are off. Their rpm will not install because of
dependencies and file ownership conflict between rpms. To succeed at
installing their hplip rpm, I had to provide the --nodeps argument to
remove hpijs. Otherwise, uninstalling hpijs would remove some packages
required packages by hplip-3.10.6_rhel-5.0 and reinstalling the
requirements would bring back hpijs.
As for setting selinux to permissive, I didn't bother. I'm sticking to
enforcing. I'd rather fix selinux when I'll need a blocked feature than
disabling it. For the record, here's the avc:
avc: denied { write } for pid=23972 comm="hp" name=".index" dev=dm-4
ino=1245300 scontext=system_u:system_r:hplip_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:snmpd_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=file
It didn't prevent me from printing but I have not tried scanning.
Hope this helps,

NX authenticates as the nx user via ssh keys to get an encrypted connection to pass the real user credentials over. The commercial NX server always uses the same key as the client, but freenx (at least as packaged in epel or centos-testing) generates a unique key per install. So you have to get the contents from /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key into the client config for each target host. You can do this by copying the file with winscp and importing it with the NX client gui Click the 'configure', then the 'key' buttons to get to the right place. Or you can use putty, cat the file to get the text on the screen and copy/paste it into the dialog box, replacing what is there - keeping the ---begin and ---end lines. > I'd really like to see a CentOS - NX configuration guide but couldn't find > one. > Can someone just tell me how this should be configuredwhat changes do I > need to > make and to what config files?

Looks like you can get a lot of AVCs. My guess is it depends on how you
installed the printer. The avc above was from a printer installed with
hp-setup. But I get a lot more from an old printer entry that I updated
its make/model and URI.

[CentOS] GRUB woes: GRUB Hard Disk Error
Hello all, I am attempting to install CentOS 5.5 on a recently donated home server (was Windows). I've tried installing twice; first, separating /boot, swap, /, /var, /usr and /home into different partitions, the second time choosing default layout. Both times have resulted in "GRUB Hard Disk Error" upon boot. About the hard disk, it is a Seagate SATA drive. I do not have another drive to configure RAID. The BIOS is set to: Onboard PATA/SATA Adapters = Both SATA mode = IDE Onboard PATA/SATA Cofiguration = Enhanced Mode (???) Upon booting into rescue mode, the file systems mount successfully and I am able to read data from files. The current file structure is (default layout): /boot / swap grub.conf: #boot=/dev/sda1 default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-194.el5) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img title Other rootmoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 This is brand new from the installation. My questions are, what am I missing? Bad configuration? Should boot=/dev/sda1 really be commented out? Some pointers for manually installing and configuring grub would be great, as I am lacking experience in that area. Any idea as to what is going on would be great!

That was most helpful . . . but:
I followed your instructions to the letter and got this result after
the build, turning the 6500 on and having it plugged in:

I have selinux disabled.
I was able to plug the 6500 into my son's WinXP box and it worked
there, but I'd SO much rather use xsane than the scanner's control
panel - it's god-awfully slow, and windows takes almost as long as the
scan process itself to finish processing the PDF, and I don't get the
individua page images from multipage scans (like xsane provides).
I used the same USB cable for both host connections, and I've switched
connections on my host between the two open USB ports and neither one
works (although they work just fine for all my other
semi-permanently-attached USB devices, mainly my Brother laser printer
and the old HP Scanjet (and the HP Officejet that broke - it still
recognizes that when it's plugged in, but the scanner refuses to
work).
Any other ideas? What am I missing?

[CentOS] How to simulate minimal ISO install using stage2 image file?
Hello, I'm working on a project which automates creation of EC2 AMI images. To do this, you must use a running EC2 instance to mount an image file in a chroot jail. My problem is that I want to create an AMI that looks exactly like a minimal (nothing selected) install from the CentOS ISO image, but the "stage2" image [1] file is much more "minimal" than that. e.g., it doesn't have yum, groups, devices, networking, etc set up as you would if you had run the ISO minimal install on a real or virtual box. I can't mount the ISO directly in the chroot (as far as I know, but I could be wrong). My question is, how can I make the mounted stage2.img chroot jail look just like a minimal ISO install? I could manually create everything (which I have started), but this is a lot of work, and I'm likely to miss something that an ISO build would have (e.g. some group). Is there some other standard CentOS script I can run after mounting the stage2.img which will do everything the installer does? Can I run the installer manually with some kickstart script? Pointers to references and documentation are welcome...

Used a kickstart script to install the system, got slightly different results. Upon boot, I see: L 99 99 99 ... 99 and so on. This could be due to a correctly configured BIOS (set to AHCI).

[CentOS] Using Make in frequent cron job
Is there a way to get Make to be silent when it does nothing, but have its normal verbosity when something is made? I want to use Make in a frequent cron job (every 1/2 hour, perhaps 10 minutes) but I don't want to get a bunch of emails telling me nothing was done (which will be most of the time). I just want to know when it found something to do. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You can write a wrapper script and run it in a subshell to capture the output. Pretend echo is make: a=$(echo 'made something') # no output if echo $a | grep 'made something' > /dev/null; then echo $a fi HTH, -- Chad ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] How to simulate minimal ISO install using stage2 image file?

This seems like a common task - are there any good tutorials which show the exact process to create an basic CentOS image in a chroot via kickstart?
