  Redhat Enterprise / CentOS additional programs
Posted by: zepcom - 2006-05-19, 11:26 AM - Forum: Redhat - Replies (5)


Hi everyone,

 

Hope this is not a repeat... but I have not seen too many posts about CentOS, which currently is my linux of choice.

 

I wanted to post to explain how to add additional "yum repositories" so that you can get additional software installed that would not necessarily be included with your OS. This is especially important for RHES or CentOS since they take the minimalist approach with many things, as only the core functionality programs and applications are built in.

 

I use CentOS which is the "Community Enterprise OS" that is basically the latest version of Redhat Enterprise linux, but you don't have to buy it. They rebrand to take out all the redhat stuff, but it's just as compatible as RHEL and usually a little closer to cutting-edge than redhat (iirc, RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 maint release 2 just went to the 2.6 kernel! Talk about behind the times!!)

 

My problem was that I was used to how my previous OS of choice (back then it was Mandrake 9.1, which I can credit with increasing my knowledge and interest in linux over the years) but when I moved up to a more-current OS like CentOS, some of the applications that I grew to love and use every day were just plainly not present. This almost caused me to go back to mid-evil times and revert to Mdk91, but I was determined to find out another way.

 

In comes YUM. Yum is a revolutionary tool that simplifies the age-old problem with RPM-based redhat-derived distros. Back in the old day, if you wanted to install an RPM, lets say xmms, you would find it online or on the distro cd's, then run something like "rpm -Uvh xmms-version.rpm" ... but rpm was so stupid, it then would snap back at you and complain that you didn't realize that you also needed to install certain other required multimedia programs that xmms depends on. Well my friends, yum solves this issue. Yum is similar to apt-get, and freebsd's "ports" collection in that it figures out what dependancies are required, and also installs them automatically after asking you first. It greatly simplifies the process of getting more software onto your machine if your distro doesn't have it "out of the box".

 

Anyways... I searched around the net and found the "dag" repository of third party apps.

** Keep in mind, if you install these apps on an enterprise-grade server, you will potentially open up the possibility to make this machine less secure. This is why Redhat/Cent does not include these apps, so be careful! **

 

Here's the steps I followed:

1. Import the GPG authenticity key into your machine's local repository. This will ensure that if anyone tampered with the packages after they were posted on the third-party website, that would mean that the checksum (gpg key) would fail, thus forcing the rpm to NOT INSTALL on your machine and saving you from potential problems!.



Code:
sudo rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt




2. Add the following to /etc/yum.conf, at the bottom where it says "# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE "



Code:
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

[dag]
# be sure to import RPM GPG key first!
#  sudo rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
name=Dag RPM Repository for CentOS
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1




3. Run "sudo yum update" to get the latest repository database onto your machine.

 

Now is the easy part. You can search for apps that you want to selectively install! For example, I love the x-windows system monitor called "gkrellm". Here's a screenshot of what you can do with gkrellm: [Image: gkrellm.png]

 

Pretty cool, eh?

 

Ok then... all you do is the following:

 

1. Search for a partial text match of your app that you want to install:



Code:
# yum search gkrellm |more
Searching Packages:
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files


gkrellm-daemon.i386                      2.2.4-0.2.el4.rf       dag
Matched from:
gkrellm-daemon
This contains only the gkrellm daemon, which you can install on its own on
machines you intend to monitor with gkrellm from a different location.
http://www.gkrellm.net/

gkrellm-wireless.i386                    2.2.4-0.2.el4.rf       dag
Matched from:
gkrellm-wireless
http://www.gkrellm.net/

gkrellm.i386                             2.2.4-0.2.el4.rf       dag
Matched from:
gkrellm
GKrellM charts SMP CPU, load, Disk, and all active net interfaces
automatically. An on/off button and online timer for the PPP interface
is provided. Monitors for memory and swap usage, file system, internet
connections, APM laptop battery, mbox style mailboxes, and cpu temps.
Also includes an uptime monitor, a hostname label, and a clock/calendar.
http://www.gkrellm.net/

Then to install, just run this:

 



Code:
sudo yum install gkrellm

from here, verify it looks okay... sometimes packages have dependancies that yum would figure out that you would need to also download (automatic) and they would also appear in the above list.

Just answer Yes if you're ready to install...

Similarly, if you also wanted to install the gkrellm-wireless from the list above, you could run yum again to install that program and it would download and install that 'extension' to gkrellm for you as well.

 

I personally used YUM with the method above to install some of my favorite apps to my CentOS distro, which include but are not limited to... gkrellm, vim-X11, pine (call me oldskool), xmms, xmms-skins, snort, lbreakout2, and a few others I can't remember right now. The best part is that if you use the "yum search *searchstring*" command, you can see the available packages that yum knows how to get and download all automatically for you!

 

The best part about yum, is lets say that gkrellm is great and all, but some hacker finds a bug and exploits it and you feel vulnerable. Well, just a simple "yum update" after you had installed a while back these additional programs, and any new releases (for example, the bugfix release of gkrellm could be gkrellm-2.2.4-0.3 from the above example) will automatically get upgraded and patched, with no recompiling or any dirty work on your end. That's what I love best. I run yum update once a month usually to keep all my software up-to-date.

 

Hope this tutorial was useful to some of you. My goal on here is to both share my knowledge to others, as well as learn a few tips-and-tricks along the way as well!!

  grub/lilo high-res text mode trick
Posted by: zepcom - 2006-05-18, 06:02 PM - Forum: Grub and Lilo - Replies (2)


Hi,

 

Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but I thought I'd post this here in case it is.

 

I do a lot of terminal line editing from the console of my workstation. Sometimes using text mode is faster and easier, instead of using the mouse to open up new terminal windows and position them easily.

 

If you don't know how to get to the text console on your Linux PC, hold down CTRL-ALT and hit one of the F1-F6 keys. These are virtual terminals that you can log in with your credentials and view or edit files, "quick and dirty" if you will.

 

I often find myself logging into the F1 terminal and running "top" to monitor my system's performance, then switching to the F2 terminal and starting a large file copy or something, then toggling back to the first one to monitor the increased load, etc.

 

the problem that I used to have was that in the standard low-resolution text mode that comes out of the box, if you are viewing or editing a large file, there is some needless scrolling; in other words, you can't see as much as if you were in the GUI and had maximized the terminal session window to see more text.

 

If you have a fairly modern video card, you can take advantage of a Vesa-VGA text high-res mode that is much better on the eyes than the 43x50 scrunched mode that sometimes comes up with high-res mode. This mode is actually a vga-complient mode, which equates to 1024x768 on your text console. Not all video cards support this, worst case senerio is that you just reboot and change the boot string back to what it was before and you'll be all set.

 

I'm using CentOS (a red-hat derivitive) but this should be portable to other linuxes as well. I think that SUSE linux 9 and 10 actually have this high-res text mode out of the box.

 

The solution: append to your grub.conf or lilo.conf file the string "vga=791" (without the quotes, of course).

 

If you have grub, it might look like the following:



Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS-4 i386 (2.6.9-34.ELsmp)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ vga=791
    initrd /initrd-2.6.9-34.ELsmp.img
title CentOS-4 i386-up (2.6.9-34.EL)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.EL ro root=LABEL=/
    initrd /initrd-2.6.9-34.EL.img




 

Notice above my entry for "CentOS-4 i386" ... the line starting with "kernel" is the line that you append the vga=791 entry to.

 

Lilo configuration would be similar; you just find your kernel that you use, and edit the "append=" line, as follows:



Code:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=menu
vga=791
default="linux-enterpris"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
    label="linux"
    root=/dev/sda1
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img
    append="devfs=mount acpi=off vga=791"
    read-only




 

Again, in the above example, for my kernel named "linux", I've appended to the line that starts with append=.

 

With grub, save the file and then reboot your machine to try it. With lilo, one more step involved... run "lilo" as root or "sudo lilo" as yourself if you've set it up to update the lilo boot loader. Then reboot your machine and try it.

 

## o_O be careful o_O ## - if you modify anything else in the grub or lilo config files without knowing what you're doing, you could render your machine unable to boot. appending this line to your kernel boot parameters will not cause problems, but don't tell me I didn't warn you! Your flavor of Linux may be different... so be sure to create a boot disk before hand to ensure that this doesn't wack your system!!

 

CONCLUSION: After a reboot, if your video card supports it (sometimes an onboard video with only 1mb of ram would fail this mode, in which you would just have the same low-res mode that you had before trying this trick) you will be able to do the CTRL-ALT-F1 and see text in high-res. Go ahead and log-in, and edit a larger file and see how you can see more on the screen, but not be burdoned by the mouse in a GUI for a quick fix here and there. Good luck!! :)

  00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)
Posted by: KellyCraig - 2006-05-17, 12:23 AM - Forum: Audio and Video - Replies (6)


Ok.

So yes, there are a few threads out there about sound failures in Fedora Core 5 etc.

But I do not believe they are directly the same problem I am having here.

 

Upon "SoundCard Detection" it says it is playing a sound, but I do not hear it.

It seems to have all the right info on the card, but to what end if no sound comes out?

If I say No I did not hear a sound, I recieve the following error.

Quote:Automatic detection of the sound card did not work. Audio will not be available on the system.You can inspect /root/scsound.log and file a new bug

at [/url][url=http://bugzilla.redhat.com]http://bugzilla.redhat.com.

 

Please click OK to continue.
 

that particular file says the following.

(see Figure: scsound.log)

 

Now the funny thing is, I tried using alsamixer, but to no result.

All the channels are at about 50%+ and none of them Muted.

To extent, the following commands, also do nothing to help me.

 

Quote:[kcraig@shieko sbin]$ alsaunmute 0 -vCard 0 Driver snd_hda_intel Volume 75%...

Unmuting ...

Play. Switch master(0) to 1

Play. Volume master(0) to 23

Play. Switch master(1) to 1

Play. Volume master(1) to 23

Play. Volume pcm(0) to 191

Play. Volume pcm(1) to 191

Unmuting snd_hda_intel...

[kcraig@shieko sbin]$
and....

Quote:[kcraig@shieko sbin]$ ./alsactl power 0Power state for card #0 is D0
Which DO to my knowledge means online, no power state.

And I know this works under windows XP.

 

HOWEVER, using the alsactl power command, I noticed something.

The command alsactl power on should result in a power change, but instead, I get this.

Quote:[kcraig@shieko sbin]$ ./alsactl power on./alsactl: set_power:117: snd_ctl_set_power_state error: Protocol not available
 

*sigh.

Can anyone throw me a bone here?

I mean, I could swear that at one point while running Windows XP and throwing in KNOPPIX DVD, that the volume worked.

BUT, if I had the volume at say 10% on windows, then booted knoppix, it would stay at 10% no matter what, mute or not.

And I can swear, don't hold me to it, that I once had FC4 installed on this laptop when the sound didnt work, I then installed Windows, turned my sound to abotu 50% and then booted linux and it worked at 50% only.

 

Unfortunately, I cannot load windows back onto this laptop, as

a. no room

b. irreplaceable time and effort into customization.

 

Hopefully someone here understands me or had this porblem.

any Ideas?

I have gone to manual install but I can't find what I need o_O (running FC5).

 

Is there a quick yum cmd to install the necessary program / plugin? :)

  Printer Driver
Posted by: mizzy - 2006-05-15, 06:08 PM - Forum: Printers, Scanners and Other Hardware - Replies (2)


I'm not sure if this is possible, but its my last solution. I have a very old printer that I want to run on linux (FC5) if it is possible that is. This run's fine on XP, but unfortuneately, I just can't find any linux drivers for this.

 

I've read a bit about wine (don't still fully understand it, but getting there :) ) and it sort of runs xp inside linux right? Well if that's so, is it possible to run xp inside linix to run this printer?

 

If not, any possible solution around it?

 

Thanks :)

  Xevil

My original question was going to be, How do you get Xevil to work on Mac OS X? But after three hours of fustration, I stumbled onto the answer my self.

 

# chmod 775 ./Xevil

 

and that gives xevil the proper permissions then all you do is

 

# open xevil
