Set Up Chrony With Local Time Source In The Server

On my partner's duel boot computer (Windows 7 & Linux Mint 17.1) after an update and grub upgrade the time the choices menu stays on screen is only a few seconds.

How do I extend that time from a few seconds to about 15 seconds that will give her enough time to choose her OS of choice?

Thanks,

I am novice at linux...I installed VMware work station and then install centos 6.4. Now I followed this tutorial to configure DHCP Server on my OS http://tecadmin.net/configuring-dhcp...centos-redhat/
but when start dhcp I see this : Starting dhcpd:[FAILED]
This is my /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

option domain-name "center.local";
option domain-name-servers master.center.local;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-search "center.local";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.100;
option time-offset -18000; # Eastern Standard Time
range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.120;
}

host station1 {
option host-name "centos-1.center.local";
hardware ethernet 00:11:1A:2B:3C:AB;
fixed-address 192.168.1.101;
}

so what is wrong?Any suggestion?
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English grammar

I have two clients : exa02db01 & exa02db02

While querying for NTP server from exa02db01, we see that it is syncing to LOCAL time on the node. However, on exa02db02 it points to the NTP server on the network.

Code:

[root@exa02db01 ~]# ntpq -pn
    remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*127.127.1.0     .LOCL.          10 l    7   64  377    0.000    0.000   0.001
192.168.1.82    .INIT.          16 u    -   16    0    0.000    0.000   0.000

Node-2:
---------------------
[root@exa02db02 ~]# ntpq -pn
    remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

Both the clients have exact same configuration but why its is failing on db01.

[root@exa02db01 ~]# service ntpd stop

Starting the vncserver by executing vncserver :1 works as expected but what actually starts? I issued these commands but nothing I see identifies with the vncserver. I believe the server is tigervnc.
service --status-all
systemctl -a
systemctl list-unit-files
chkconfig -A
Also, how can this command: "vncserver :1", be issued at startup or turn the service on at startup?
I have tried this but the command does not execute.

Hi,

I installed ghostscript via yum package manager. Later I wanted a newer version of ghostscript and compiled it from source. "make install" placed the gs executable file under /usr/local/bin/gs. This works if I run the command with absolute path, but if try to run gs, the shell will output

"-bash: /usr/bin/gs: No such file or directory"

if I echo the path variable it will display

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

If i run whereis it will give me the correct path
gs: /usr/local/bin/gs

How do I make it work so that typing "gs" will run the executable file from the /usr/local/bin/gs?

(I am using Centos 6)

Thanks.

hello

i know that TraNS no need to install. but it needs to be configured for using ns-2.

the error is appeared

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I've got my new system up and running. It's a nice fresh change after running Linux Mint for the past 4 years. Now comes the time of setting things up the way I like them.

As part of my setup, I have a all of my DVD's backed up onto my computer so that I can use a media server in the house. I run XBMC at my TV's with a central samba server (my computer) holding the movies.

In LM, all I had to do was right-click the directory "sharing" and select SMB share and type in the name. Everything else was done for me. This doesn't seem that simple.

Here's what I've done:
1. Menu > Administration > Samba
2. Entered in all the directories to share, under the BASIC tab I've selected visibile, writeable. Under the ACCESS tab I've selected a user (see below).
3. I've created a system user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.
4. I've created a samba user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.

Still not working. So, I went into the shell where I manually started the smb service:
# systemctl start smb.service

So, I went back to Menu > Administration > Samba > Preferences:
Set workgroup to WORKGROUP (but it automatically changes it to lower case after I exit).

Drop to terminal and restart service with systemctl.

I go over to my XMBC installation and try to connect to the source and it finds the SMB share. I click on it and after about 30 seconds a window pops up asking for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc and after about 30 seconds it just cycles through. XMBC doesn't offer any messages, so I went downstairs to my Windows machine and tried to connect to a network drive. I enter in \\IP\share-name and after a few seconds it asks for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc but then it fails with "bad username or password".

I'm not sure what I need to do to get this working.

Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
http://pastebin.com/m9ExpPJF

System Korora 21 (just installed/updated)
kernel: 3.18.9-200.fc21.x86_64

I'm trying to send all root's mails to an external e-mailaddress, but for some reason I can't get it to work.

I've edited /etc/aliases with the following rule:

root: <myexternal@email.address>

and run newaliasses after, which would run without any errors.

I can run: echo "Testing" | mail -s "Server Testing" <myexternal@email.address>
just fine without any issue and it's being delivered correctly to my external address.

But when I run: echo "Testing" | mail -s "Server Testing" root

I (first) get a "Deferred: 451 Temporary local problem - please try again later" error and when I then run: "Sendmail -OTimeout.hoststatus=0m -q -v" to flush the mailqueue it says everything is ok, but I then get a message saying I have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root and I don't get the mail on my external e-mailaddress.

I have no clue where to look next, hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

Just for completeness: I use mageia release 4 (x86_x64).

hi

Mplayer is my main video player and I always use the command line with mplayer to play the videos.

From the terminal it shows the stats about the video as it is playing. At the bottom it shows the elapsed time in seconds. Is there a way to see elapsed frames instead of seconds?

If mplayer can't do it, I'm open to other players if they do it. Thanks
