After 4.6 update: CUPS (via Samba): "'/printers/printers' no good!"
by Steve Snyder 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

Since updating from 4.5 to 4.6 yesterday, I am getting a lot of CUPS errors. The error.log file is filling up with these messages: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! And the access.log seems to be being polled often too, even in the absence of any print jobs submitted. On my network the CUPS-handled printer is exported from Samba. Given that the Samba RPMs were among those upgraded, I have to wonder what printing-related changes might have occurred. The hal-cups-utils was also updated in the course of the upgrade. I also notice that CUP's ppds.dat and cupsd.conf files have modification timestamp from around the time I did the upgrade. Any advice as to how to fix whatever was broken in the course of doing the upgrade? Thanks.

nForce 630i Chipset, unable to get integrated nic working
by David Levinger 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hello everyone, I've also posted this onto the Network support forums but figured I'd shoot it to the mailing list as well. I recently purchased a ECS GF7100PVT-M motherboard and now I'm wishing I'd investigated driver support a little better before I did! I was able to get Centos 5.1 XEN Kernel installed but have been having a helluva time getting the on board NIC going. The MB is running a nForce 630i chipset and has the nic card listed as a Realtek 8111B. I've downloaded what I believe to be the latest Realtek drivers and if I do an lsmod I can see the r8168 module present. I've tried adding the line alias eth0 r8168 to my /etc/modprobe.conf file but it hasn't gotten me anywhere, I've also tried with Nvidia's forcedeth module to no avail. Does anyone have some ideas of what I could try next? Do I need a newer version of the forcedeth driver? Is this chipset not going to work with Centos 5.1? Is it a Xen related issue? lspci shows "Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 07dc (rev a2)" Any thoughts/pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, David

yum error "AttributeError: LOCATION_BASE" after 4.5 -> 4.6 upgrade
by Joe Klemmer 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hello all, I am having a problem running yum after doing the 4.6 upgrade. I did a live update through yum and no problems were encountered. However, now when I try to run yum (with any commands/options) I get this error right after loading/reading the repo's - eading repository metadata in from local files Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 102, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 489, in doCommands ypl = self.returnPkgLists() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 1085, in returnPkgLists ypl = self.doPackageLists(pkgnarrow=pkgnarrow) File "__init__.py", line 993, in doPackageLists File "packageSack.py", line 148, in searchNevra File "packageSack.py", line 236, in _computeAggregateListResult File "sqlitesack.py", line 514, in searchNevra File "sqlitesack.py", line 403, in db2class File "/var/tmp/python-sqlite-root//usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/sqlite/main.py", line 97, in __getattr__ AttributeError: LOCATION_BASE Running "yum clean all" seems to work but the error does not go away. I know less than nothing about python so that doesn't help. I also did a search through the list archives and on Google but couldn't come up with anything (OC, I may not have been asking the right questions). The server has a bad optical drive so I can't boot into the rescue CD (yet, I've got a replacement coming). Whenever it gets here I'll be updating to 5.1 but in the mean time there's some security fixes that have come down the pipe which I can't update to due to yum being petulant. If anyone can shed some light on this or point me in the right direction to get this fixed it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am using CentOS 5.1 x86 (upgraded from 5.0), and am still using XFCE 4.4.1 from 5.0 "extras" repository. Just saw in XFCE site that they released 4.4.2. Any chance to see it in 5.1 "extras" repository?

xen dependencies
by Joseph L. Casale 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

It appears that if I perform an install of CentOS 5.1 without changing *anything* in the options, then do a #yum groupinstall 'Virtualization' I can now get Xen to function in bridged mode (it has network connectivity). In lieu of this, can anyone shed some light on what dependency Xen has that is not installed when you do a completely bare install and execute a #yum install xen? I am hoping to finally end up with a minimum install of CentOS with Xen functioning without a gui or any additional services that won't be needed. Thanks! jlc

How to size an email server to handle 5 million emails per day
by Erick Perez 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

I have no idea as to how to size an email server. I was approached by a customer that wanted a single server with RAID 1 disks to handle about 5 million emails a day. In general terms, what parameters should I take into account to size the hardware specs when the average email is about 10kb, the smalles email is 2kb and the largest email is about 5meg (with attachment) thanks, -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez

[Semi-OT] Advice on large webmail setup
by Neil Thompson 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi all, As the resident Linux guru, I've just been tasked with costing a webmail setup for about 600 000 users. They each have 10MiB (small, I know) mailboxes. The current setup has about 40 million web page accesses per month. Has anyone here any experience with this kind of thing? If so, any pointers as to software and hardware used, and any other advice would be appreciated. TIA -- Cheers! (Relax...have a homebrew) Neil THEOREM: VI is perfect. PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6. The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are 1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3 = 6. So 6 is a perfect number. Therefore, VI is perfect. QED -- Arthur Tateishi
