<pony> Arrfab, maybe you can try for a pony later
<Adylas> Hello, How I can insert interactivity in my boot process ? (I need to mount a truecrypt volume)
<peerce> probably could do some hacky thing in rc.local
<peerce> /etc/rc.d/rc.local is run after most other startup stuff completes
<Adylas> peerce, I tried to just drop the line in that file .. It seem to freez to boot (nice bleu screen)
<joobie> Adylas, what was the line you dropped in?
<peerce> hmm, if your system is booting to a GUI X login, then you probably can't get any user input.
<Adylas> joobie, simple : /usr/bin/truecrypt /the/volume /the/mount/point
<Adylas> This command will ask for the passphrase
<peerce> frankly, I'd not mount a encrypted volume until you log in
<Adylas> (In that case , the volume IS the home folder ..)
<joobie> Adylas, I've never used truecrypt before.. Try to put in more debugging messages first to trouble shoot
<joobie> eg. `ls -la /usr/bin/truecrypt`
<peerce> disable X windows, too
<Adylas> Hehe .. the user use X ...
<peerce> maybe you can start X after loading the truecrypt thing
<Adylas> hmm yeah, will try that ..
<peerce> set the system to boot to init 3, then it will run your truecrypt thing on the text console, THEN do a `init 5` ? (not sure if that would work or not, worth a try?)
<joobie> why disable X peerce?
<Adylas> I will leave the init 5 but I will remove in inittab the respawn
<peerce> or, more complex, use a /etc/init.d script run from rc5.d prior to the launch of the X server
<Sakuya> I could need a littel help with libssl.so.0.9.8
<joobie> .. I can understand disabling Xorg for this setup process (to speed things up), but perm disabled, i don't know why?
<joobie> Sakuya, I could do with a Porsche
<Evolution> Sakuya: it's a file provided by an rpm
<Evolution> Sakuya: as before. if you want help you have to ASK and BE SPECIFIC
<joobie> hi Evolution
<Sakuya> Evolution: Uhm, the thing is, where to install it
<Sakuya> alright
<Evolution> Sakuya: as before, use yum
<Sakuya> Evolution: ./login-server_sql: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
<Sakuya> Evolution: good like that?
<Evolution> Sakuya: man yum, look at the provides documentation
<Evolution> search with yum for that file
<Evolution> yum documentation is available on your system, or at centos.org/docs/4/
<peerce> joobie; he's trying to run a startup script thats promtping for a password. that won't work after X has started, prior to a login.
<joobie> are you sure? My guess is it will hang at interactive login
<joobie> I haven't tried this before mind you..
<peerce> yeah, not sure either.
<Sakuya> Evolution: Isnt the file just missing, so that I can install it?
<Evolution> Sakuya: you have to install the package which contains the missing file
<Adylas> If I want to disable the boot splash , I can just remove the rhgb in grub.conf ?
<Adylas> hmm yes..
<Sakuya> Evolution: ok, I got a package with that, but its in *.tar.gz, just where to put the content in?
<Evolution> Sakuya: that is not at all the right way to install it and will screw your box over
<orc_orc> Sakuya: centos is a package based system mediated by RPM, and having an end user unterface of yum. being unaware of use of those tools implies that centos is not an operating system which fits your operating preference; we do NOT just copy files around
<orc_orc> not use raw tar.gz, as taht breaks the package manager
<Evolution> Sakuya: as I told you for the 4th time today, use yum
<joobie> Sakuya, type `rpm -q openssl`
<joobie> he should have that package installed.. it may be a configuration option he needs to set in whatever he's compiling
