CentOS plus kernel-devel x86_64 with incomplete Module.symvers?
by Thomas Jacob 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hello list, While working on building a driver update module RPM for CentOS 6 x86_64 I noticed that that the Module.symvers file included in the non-debug kernel-devels for the latest CentOS-Plus x86_64 kernels seems to be much shorter than that for the debug version and also than both version for the i686 architecture $ awk '{print $4;}' /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.4.2.el6.i686/Module.symvers | sort | uniq -c 6124 EXPORT_SYMBOL 3706 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL $ awk '{print $4;}' /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.4.2.el6.i686.debug/Module.symvers | sort | uniq -c 6177 EXPORT_SYMBOL 3734 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL $ awk '{print $4;}' /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.4.2.el6.x86_64/Module.symvers | sort | uniq -c *2716 EXPORT_SYMBOL* *1957 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL* $ awk '{print $4;}' /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.4.2.el6.x86_64.debug/Module.symvers | sort | uniq -c 6147 EXPORT_SYMBOL 3916 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL This prevents the find find-requires.ksyms script (part of the %kernel_module_package utility set) from creating KABI dependencies properly on x86_64, for kernel module packages build according RHEL driver update program (i.e. kmod-* package), in the sense that they are build without any KABI-requires in the resulting kmod-RPM. The standard CentOS kernel-devel (presumably RHEL upstream?) however, contains similar numbers of symbols in Module.symvers also in the x86_64 architecture: $ awk '{print $4;}' /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.i686/Module.symvers | sort | uniq -c 6119 EXPORT_SYMBOL 3706 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL $ awk '{print $4;}' /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/Module.symvers | sort | uniq -c 6089 EXPORT_SYMBOL 3888 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL Could anyone confirm whether or not this is by design? Or should I report this as a bug? TIA & Regards, Thomas

freenx, ESXi5 and VM-Tools
by christoph.ascendos＠chello.at 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hello, just in case anybody runs into this: According to NX there seems to be a bug an VMTools 8.6.0 which are shiped with ESXi5. After installing/upgrading to 8.6.0 the NX-desktop may hang or not respond to user input. http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR11I00608 The workaround in this link works (at least in my environment). It also seems (again at least in my environment) that VMs after updating to 8.6.0 can have problems with the GNOME-Desktop (after logging in to the GNOME-Desktop the mouse pointer is in "please wait"-mode forever). It seems the remocal of the previous version of VMTools has some problems with restoring vmwlegacy_drv.so. So ln -s /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vmwlegacy_drv.so.old.0 /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vmwlegacy_drv.so solves the issue in this case. cheers Christoph

Promo Stuff request management

hi Guys, the last time we had some TShirts sponsored, I asked for who wanted it - and had to parse emails coming in, match sizes, check postage issues and email followups to people. It wasent easy, and took a fair bit of time. And in the end, I had to limit emails down to only those people who actually got Tshirts sent to them. For the 70 odd Tshirts I had, there were 500+ requests. We are going to be getting some more TShirts in the next few days - and this time they are split between two designs, and multiple colours and different sizes (ofcourse). It would be great if there was some s/w that could be installed on one of our machines that would allow us to add the tshirt quantities and sizes and colours in, and then let people essentially check-out. The shirts are sponsored, the postage + packaging isnt. So people would still need to come up with a bit of money ( it should be quite nominal ). I'm also talking to someone locally about sponsoring beer and coffee mugs and a few other things ( its essentially what they do - make glassware for large brands ). So this might be an ongoing thing. So, my questions : is there anyone who can help with the online admin side of things ? is there any recommended software that we can use ?[1] regards, - KB [1]: I did think of a github repo, and ask people to merge request and do it in that way, but that has no way for people to find out if their size / colour / style is available and also most people would not want their postal address and contact details in a public repo. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Dual Layer DVD iso for 6.3 / 5.8
by Karanbir Singh 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hi Guys, there were some great conversations and ideas that came from the Fosdem weekend, over the next few days I'll try and summarise as many as I can and get some conversations started around the ideas. One thing that came up a few times, and Andreas mentioned as well, was that it might be a good idea to produce a single DVD iso, suitable for use on large dual layer DVD's as they are now starting to become more popular. Its fairly easy to do, however I would not be all that keen on exporting that via the regular mirrors. Therefore expanding the idea a bit : - Should we consider doing CD isos as well as dual layer DVD ones ? - Should we consider only having these two media formats available via torrent ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

CentOS 6.2 New Kernel Issues
by Jonathan Vomacka 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

CentOS 6.2 Community / Developers, Are there any known issues with the latest Kernel on CentOS 6.2? I performed a yum update and the kernel downloaded. When the system rebooted I started having intermittent latency issues when trying to perform certain commands on the system such as top or ls -ltr, etc. I was having extreme latency getting to root. I am unsure if there is a hardware compat issue but I found my server in kernel PANIC mode the next day and was unable to login entirely. Has this been reported before?

Re: [CentOS-devel] CentOS 6.2 New Kernel Issues

Tetsuo, This resolves the issue. Booting using an earlier version of the kernel allows my system to be stable. So it seems like the new kernel is not working with my hardware? Is this a normal occurrence sometimes? Should I be collecting information to write it up as a bug report, or am I screwed with that version of the kernel? Thanks so much for your help btw Tetsuo.

AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) elrepo no driver (Maybe OT)
by Phil Savoie 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi All, This wireless device came with this hp pavilion g4 laptop and noticed that elrepo has no driver for this. I know enough how to compile and install modules but not how to build a kmod package. I got the drivers from here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k and used this snapshot compat-wireless-2012-01-19.tar.bz2 to build and load the module which works fine on this laptop. I was wondering if the folks at elrepo would consider building a kmod package for this? Phil

pulp as a private mirror resource
by Karanbir Singh 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

hi guys, I've been looking at using pulp ( pulpproject.org ) as a means to promote rpms into the evolving repos ( updates/ extras/ plus/ etc ) as opposed to static repos ( os/ ). So that people running large infra do not need to rely on the msync targets, leaving those available for public mirror use. This is very much a spike test to see if pulp is usable for such a role. The thinking is that there is a .centos.org hosted pulp master ( or a few ) and Content nodes in various geo distributed places, with every one wanting to run a private mirror just bringing up a content node, associating it with the repo's they care about and letting that content instance sync on schedule. removing the need to repo-manage completely. The pulp project guys have been very very receptive of constructive criticism and have even offered to take up some of the recommendations I had, as feature requests. So even if we do find there are massive holes that are not filled in a way by pulp today, there might be scope for them to find workarounds or even see if they can find suitable fix's I have asked on IRC and the main list for people who might be willing to help trial and evaluate this process, but havent been able to get much support. So asking here as well, anyone with a few machines willing to spend a few hours working out the issues that such a setup might have ? - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
