[CentOS] Computer doesn't boot with new 6.4 kernel
Yesterday a upgraded a machine that I have from Centos 6.3 to 6.4, but it doesn't boot with the new kernel (2.6.32-358). Right after grub the screen shows a distorted image, a bit like war of the ants but static, and nothing more happens. With the old kernel (2.6.32-279) it boots fine. The motherboard is a Asus E45M1-M Pro. There's no separate graphics card, but I use the one on the motherboard, a AMD Radeon HD 6320. Should I file bug report or is there something else to try? /Markus ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi Markus could probably the legacy vga kernel parameter help you? or is the frame-buffer mode no longer used by up-to-date boot processes? vga = 791 : 1024x768@64K means: screen resolution 1024x768 pixels with 64K colors vga = 788 : 800x600@64K means: screen resolution 800x600 pixels with 64K colors suomi On 2013-03-28 08:55, Markus Lindholm wrote: > On 28 March 2013 08:42, Akemi Yagi wrote: >> On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 12:22 AM, Markus Lindholm >> wrote: >>> Yesterday a upgraded a machine that I have from Centos 6.3 to 6.4, but >>> it doesn't boot with the new kernel (2.6.32-358).

[CentOS] a-gnome-oyences
Most of my users are on kde, as am I (I really don't like gnome). I've got one on gnome, though, CentOS 6.4, and I have a problem: I have to start an agent running ->on login<-, so that the same one is in the environment of every term window he opens. In kde, no problem, I modify /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common so that code in there calls our (newer) ssh-agent instead of the stock one. (And, of course, it's killed on logout, and there's only one running, not one every time that never go away unless killed manually.) /etc/gdm/Xsession *says* that it sources that file, so it should be running when he logs in. I've just had him log out and log back in, , and no matter what, it just ain't running. So, gnome fans, how do I get that to work? Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf? Edit something else? gconftool-2 (ga)? mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I corrected that minimal install by starting over from a DVD with a full install and ticking the Gnome GUI. It did once after the long wait let me log in to Centos 6.4 with gnome and I could use it, instead of win 7 for browsing, email etc. What's your goal here - is it to have a working desktop environment? If so, and you have not done so yet, there's an option for desktop; I'd install that, though you can always choose that, then check "customize now", and add or subtract things.

Yes, I'd like a working desktop environment with FF and TB and other programs, Libre Office, Gimp etc Did the customize now on last time I re-installed. Now I'm still trying to get online. I had things set up on the desktop the last time it let me log in and I want to get back there in a reasonable time frame. Just like to use Centos as I can win 7 or Ubuntu or mint 14.

You're already making things more complicated than they should be. The ssh agent is supposed to be the parent process of your login session. That is, your login session should be: ssh-agent startkde or: ssh-agent gnome-session You get just one, and it closes when the session ends. You *can* set it up otherwise, but other configurations are less reliable and more complex. Don't make your life difficult. With GDM, you'd modify the session file in /usr/share/xsessions. You'd prefix the "Exec" line with "ssh-agent ", and be done. As those files would be over-written during updates, you'd actually probably make a copy, edit that to prefix the command in Exec=, and tell your users to use the session that you'd edited. No problem. I'm not sure which DM you're using, but if it's actually using xinitrc (and thereby, xinitrc-common), that's already the configuration that's used. The SSH_AGENT arg is set, and it's the parent process of Xclients, which runs your session. You shouldn't need to change anything at all, unless your newer ssh-agent is at a different path. So, in that case, the only thing you should need to change is to run gnome-session-properties, and uncheck "SSH Key Agent". ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] DNS forwarding vs recursion
I have 2 CentOS servers that are both authoritative DNS for several
domains and local resolvers.As configured, they are publicly visible
resolvers, which I've known for awhile is not a good thing.
whats the appropriate way of configuring the bind on CentOS 5.current to
not allow recursion on queries from the public side, but still allow
recursion locally? is it as simple as adding allow-recursion{} with
the appropriate private subnets and localhost to named.conf ?

That should have just been an 'rm /tmp/.X0-lock' (a file, not packages). Not sure how much damage has been done at this point. If you know the package names, try to 'yum install' them back again.

However... thinking about this, now that I've got a chance to catch my breath here at work... a couple of years ago, I think it was, I updated a fedora box here at work to 13? 14? and gnome was hosed, as in the gui would come up, but instead of a window with a login, all I had was about a pencil point width by about six inch high - the hight of the login box, and I never was able to get it to actually give me the login. I wound up having to pull out gnome, because I couldn't find a way to force a KDE login. Anyone know what the current replacement is for switchdesk? In the meantime, here's another thought: you could try to yum groupremove and groupinstall Desktop, which I think is gnome, to see if there's some configuration files that are mangled.

Just rm the file. Now, to reinstall what got yum removed, look at /var/log/yum.log, and it's the last bunch of stuff, nicely timestamped, so you won't accidentally go too far. Then, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and you'll be able to see, at the bottom, what it was trying to tell you.

If you edit /etc/intiitab and change: id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: the system will not start X or a GUI desktop at bootup and you would log in in character mode. After logging in, 'startx' will start up X and your desktop session.
