[CentOS] Bridging wifi with Centos6/kvm
1.. Is it even possible? Every example I've seen has bridged eth* rather wlan*. 2.. If it helps here are my scripts: $ more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 ESSID="snip" MODE=Managed KEY_MGMT=WPA-PSK TYPE=Wireless BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no NAME=wlan0 UUID=2b508481-ec01-4311-8903-af7aaeb9879d ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0 $ more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 I've never done vm bridging in kvm so if there's something obvious I'm missing I'm not seeing it.

[CentOS] LCD blanks out overnight
I inherited an ancient Dell Latitude C840 and recently installed CentOS 5.2 on it. It worked fine for the most part, but when I left it overnight and came back the next morning, the screen blacked out and wouldn't come back unless I did a hard reset. Even though I turned off all the power management settings and left it set like a desktop, the next morning after that it still blacked out. I thought maybe it'd come back if I switched from X to a virtual text console, but that didn't do the trick. Has anyone seen this and what do I do to fix it? tia, - Joe _ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yeah I tried that too but no luck.

RE: [CentOS] LCD blanks out overnight
I know my laptop didn't crash because I'm able to put it into suspend mode. Thanks for the tip; I'll try it out. I also changed my BIOS and told it to disable power savings when plugged in. Maybe one of the two will help... > Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 06:57:44 -0700 > Subject: Re: [CentOS] LCD blanks out overnight > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: centos@centos.org > > Joe Tseng wrote: > > I inherited an ancient Dell Latitude C840 and recently installed CentOS 5.2 > > on it.

[CentOS] Installing libpng
I've been trying to install perl-Tk and I learned v804.028 uses libpng > 1.2.20; CentOS 5.2 still uses 1.2.10. Is there an RPM out there I can use that's > 1.2.20? I'm just afraid of compiling from source code and breaking all the apps that depend on what's on the system right now. - Joe ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Check your permissions on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the CentOS server, they should be 700 and 600, respectively.

[CentOS] Problem with svn/apache
I hope someone can help me with this b/c I'm stumped... I had set up an svn repository a while ago with an apache/webdav front end using the default centos packages. For some reason this morning it stopped working for me - it would give me a 403 error. I suppose the problem is with Apache and not svn. So far I've checked the following: I use a couple of files called svn_htpasswd_file (for userids/password hashes) and svn_auth_file (users, groups and permissions) - I verified the files were still apache:apache and were user-readable Just for grins I ran "chown -R apache:apache" on my repository home directory and all repositoriesI made a new user entry in the two files listed above with full admin rightsI restarted httpd and rebooted the serverI made sure the httpd processes were running using apache as userAnd I've run out of ideas.

[CentOS] [KVM] reporting VM state
I recently set up a CentOS 6.2 hypervisor and created a Win2k8 virtual machine. In order to save space and time backing up the VM, I want to minimize the amt of unused disk space in the VM. Does KVM have the built-in ability to view the amt of free space left in a VM? Or is this feature I have to create myself to have the hypervisor and VM aware of each other? - Joe If you type "Google" into Google, you can break the Internet. -- Jen Barber ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
