Jose,

I'm assuming your statement "The link is not OK" is due to the fact that my site uses a self-signed cert? If this is the case, I'd question why you log into _your_ ClearOS box either, since the webconfig interface also uses a self-signed cert.

Tony,

Thanks for checking the link.

Hi Bob,

Your site seems to keep going down. Is it possible to post the scripts and repo file here?

Every time I go to whataboutbob it displays "This webpage is not available"

Thanks

Hi James - strange as I just went back and browsed around the site for over 10 minutes without a hitch...
If it is Bob's site maybe it thinks you are an intruder

For the next approx 36 hours only you can get the copies I downloaded from Bob's site from:-
Code:


wget http://danda.poweredbyclear.com:/ClearOS-CentOS-Base.5.7.repo
wget http://danda.poweredbyclear.com:/ClearOS_to_CentOS_v0.3.sh


Bob - hope you are OK with this...

Re:Running Gnome on a ClearOS system 1 Year, 8 Months ago  
No problem Tony. I've been having my server crash lately, and I'm not sure why at this point....

Here's the script and repo file contents for reference:

Script:

Code:


#!/bin/sh

# This script was written to work on a FRESH install of ClearOS 5.2 Enterprise,
# with all available packages selected during the install process.

# Things to do on your system BEFORE you run this script:
#
# 1) Disable any additional repos you may have enabled,
# on a fresh ClearOS install you should have only the 
# following in your /etc/yum.repos.d/:
#
# base.repo
#
# 2) Update your system against this repo:
#
# yum -y update
#
# 3) Reboot if needed

# ToDo:
#
# 1) Figure out why when you startx you get a dialog box that states:
# "The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources.  It cannot continue."
#
# 2) Clean this script up. There's very little optimization and error checking.

# Make sure you are root when you run our script
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
   echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2
   exit 1
fi

It may be due to overheating. If you haven't cleaned the heat sink and fans, give that a try. I usually do that at the start of Summer here in Texas.

Thanks Bob and Tony.

I hopefully will get a chance to to access this in the next few hours as I have decided to give XenServer a go (what a headache)
