[CentOS] placing x11 libraries in an alternate location
we have close to 50 servers. I would like to have X11 libraries (and devel). Instead of installing them one by one on all servers, I would like to have them in a central NFS location and have my app pick them up like that. Is it possible to do this with yum/rpm ? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.-- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] where should we go to know how to build Diskless X server running in 6.2?
I too would suggest PXE booting the Live CD (I've done it with other distros) - which brings me to the following questions regarding CentOS. RHEL write up [9] - also you might look at the Fedora docs below. *** To anyone else who may know: *** I found [0] and [7], but I'm curious if there is _any other method_. Bits of Fedora discussion [1] [2] [3] Fedora Docs [8] - basically copy files from a running system Fedora dracut-network [4] Amahi netboot [5] Diskless (MythTV related, but applicable) [6] I've used an unmodified ISO by loading it into memory via memdisk and while that works ok it requires plenty of memory for the image. (But it does not require any alteration done to the squashfs image.) I've netbooted live Debian (and variants) off an NFS export (my reading shows HTTP and FTP are an option too). I didn't succeed pulling Fedora or CentOS images from NFS though. Just curious. (It would really rock if it was possible to load the squashfs over NFS or HTTP rather than TFTP.)

[CentOS] flash plugin
How do I get a flash plugin to work with firefox? I thought that I installed it correctly, but I have yet to see any flash videos through firefox. I keep being told that I need an additional plugin. When I folow directions, I'm told I already have it? At least once, I was told I needed to upgrade.

Re: [CentOS] flash plugin
iirc, Firefox will block flash from working when it knows the plugin is vulnerable. flashtester.org works today, but not last week and maybe even the week before. i have seen this behavior a few times after major security flaws are known to be exploited. i don't think i did anything to fix it except apply updates and reboot. Have you rerembered to make sure no firefox process or any flash process is running? $ rpm -qv firefox flash-plugin firefox-10.0.7-1.el6.centos.x86_64 flash-plugin-11.2.202.238-release.x86_64 FlashTester.org succeeds but javatester.org fails, so ... Tools --> AddOns --> Plugins --> "Check to see if your plugins are up to date" which brings one to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ "Missing Java? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version."

But the keyboard and mouse usage can be seen via lights blinking whei I enter something on the keyboard. And I can see what I entered when the display returns. I know the monitor, keyboard, and mouse are not the problem because I have 3 machines on a KVM using the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Could this be my video card going bad? I read another posting where it was suggested to add 'Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"' into the xorg.conf, but this machine doesn't have a xorg.conf file. Any information will be helpful.

It doesn't let you save them anymore. If you want that ability, you have to set it to startup with the previous session's tabs... in the same section of preferences where the home page is set, if I recall correctly. i.e. If that's actually part of what you were asking. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
