by Heiko Adams 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hello, after installing the openjdk 1.6 packages from centos testing the webinterface of my hp jetdirect 300x printserver doesn't work anymore. The webpage is loaded but the applets don't start - no java console and no error messages are shown. Tested with Firefox 3 Beta 5 and Opera 9.5 Beta 2 Can anyone confirm this? -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com>

Package submission: thunar-thumbnailer
by Heiko Adams 11 May '08

11 May '08

Hello, I'd like to submit the thunar-thumbnailer-package to the centos repo. Description: Thunar uses external utilities - so called thumbnailers - to generate previews of certain files. Thunar ships with thumbnailers to generate previews of image and font files and can automatically use available GNOME thumbnailers if it was build with support for gconf. However, even then, there are several file types for which no thumbnailer exists. The thunar-thumbnailers project provides additional thumbnailers for Thunar, that also cover less common file formats. Download: http://download.ha-software.de/thunar-thumbnailers-0.3.2-1.src.rpm Regards -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com>

Backuppc 3.1.0
by Marco 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all, i was looking for a backup system for small mixed environment (linux and windows) to install on a centos 5.1 server and a tryed to use backuppc 3.1.0 from the testing repository, mainly becouse I have already succesfully used it in the past on a fedora server and because it perfectly matches my requirements. This is my expirience: Before starting I carefully read this useful documents: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2403 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1299 http://marc.info/?l=centos-devel&m=117145576710647&w=2 The first installation worked fine: I configured the repository in yum and I succesfully downloaded and installed backuppc and all the dependecies. I configured apache to run as backuppc user instead of apache and the server started working. The server on wich i'm running backuppc is a general purpose server and it's not dedicated to the backup job, so for me is a big issue running apache as the backuppc user. Studying the above mentioned documentation I solved the issue by this way: 1) I downloaded the SRPMS version of backuppc 2) I manually applied the modification suggested by ScratchMonkey to the spec file (the diff file proposed on the bug tracker didn't work out of the box becouse it refers to a previus version of backuppc, but I was easily able to manually apply the modification). 3) I recompiled the RPM and I succesfully installed it. 4) I configured apache to work in suexec mode (using the sample conf file published on the bug tracker). The server is now working fine and I havan't any performance issue on the web intrface (but i have very few clients). My suggestion is to use the suexec mode which I find very easy to implement and without collateral effect on other web application published from the same apache server. I hope this will help.

Hi! Can I use the newest anaconda (e.g. 11.4.0.78-1) in my customized CentOS5? Will it work fine with CentOS5's kernel rpms, paths of configuration files, names of related rpms(redhat-logo, etc), etc? Will there be any problems? Thanks! Ruomu

KVM-66 packages in testing
by Daniel de Kok 07 May '08

07 May '08

Hi all, We have just added KVM-66 packages to the CentOS 5 testing repository. This version of the Kernel Virtual Machine has numerous improvements over KVM-36, which is currently in CentOS-Extras. One of the notable new features is support for paravirtualized block and network devices through the virtio architecture[1]. Currently, only Linux kernel 2.6.25 provides paravirtualized block and NIC drivers. A paravirtualized NIC driver is available for Windows[2]. We'd like to hear from current KVM users whether this version has any regressions for their applications compared to KVM-36. Of course, we are interested in other bug reports as well! Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories The KVM module package is named 'kmod-kvm', and has a dependency on the userland KVM tool. So, the following command should do the trick, and pull in all required dependencies: yum --enablerepo=c5-testing install kmod-kvm Thanks, Daniel [1] http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Virtio?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=… [2] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599&package_id=267…

qemu 0.9.1
by Daniel de Kok 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hi all, qemu 0.9.1 packages are now provided through the CentOS 5 testing repository. qemu is mainly provided for the qemu-img tool, but in the future we may also add kqemu. We'd like to hear if qemu-img is working ok for everybody. We can focus on testing qemu itself once kqemu is packaged. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories The qemu package is named (surprise :)) 'qemu', and can be installed after adding the testing repository: yum --enablerepo=c5-testing install qemu Thanks, Daniel

Wrong directory in CentOS5-respin
by Ruomu Hu 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hi, I often need to install CentOS5 on servers, I do this a lot, so I think I need a respin dist (all updates included). I wrote a script to generate my CentOS5-respin. My CentOS5 tree is at /centos/5, it is rsynced with a Taiwan mirror daily. My generated CentOS5 tree is placed at /centos/5-respin. The generation of CentOS5-respin by my script runs fine, but the generated CentOS5-respin tree has a problem: During network installation using this CentOS5-respin tree, when it gets rpm installation, it always complains "The file system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm cannot be opened.". In the text console, the error message is "Failed to get http://myserver/centos/5-respin/os/x86_64/system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el…". Anaconda should look for rpms in /centos/5-respin/os/x86_64/CentOS, but it actually looks for rpms in /centos/5-respin/os/x86_64. Any ideas? It would be nice if anyone could point me to some useful docs. Thanks! Ruomu P.S. Here's my script: #!/bin/bash # # gen_respin_distro # # To use this script, the following rpms need to installed first: # anaconda # anaconda-help # anaconda-runtime # busybox-anaconda ? # bogl # booty # netpbm # netpbm-progs # mkisofs #TODO # 1. Should we use pkgorder? If yes, when? # 2. Do we need to run pkgorder before buildinstall? # 3. Do we need to run createrepo? Buildinstall seems to calls it. # 4. Why does it look for rpms in /centos/5-respin/os/x86_64? # Check tools rpmmerge=`dirname "$0"`/rpmmerge if [ ! -x "$rpmmerge" ]; then echo "$rpmmerge does not exist or is not executable." >&2 exit 1 fi createrepo="/usr/bin/createrepo" if [ ! -x "$createrepo" ]; then echo "$createrepo does not exist or is not executable." >&2 exit 1 fi buildinstall="/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall" if [ ! -x "$buildinstall" ]; then echo "$buildinstall does not exist or is not executable." >&2 exit 1 fi # Set variables and functions src="/centos/5" dest="/centos/5-respin" distro="CentOS" arch="x86_64" version="5" product="CentOS" release="Respin" prodpath="CentOS" eval_retval() { test $? -ne 0 && exit 1 } # Merge rpms echo -e "*** Merge rpms ***\n" $rpmmerge $src/os/$arch/$distro $src/updates/$arch/RPMS $dest/os/$arch/$distro eval_retval # Create repo data echo -e "\n*** Create repo data ***\n" #cp -al $src/os/$arch/repodata/comps.xml $dest/os/$arch/$distro #eval_retval $createrepo -q -g $src/os/$arch/repodata/comps.xml -c $dest/os/$arch/cache \ -o $dest/os/$arch $dest/os/$arch/$distro eval_retval #rm -f $dest/os/$arch/$distro/comps.xml #eval_retval # Run buildinstall export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/anaconda" echo -e "\n*** Buildinstall ***\n" sudo $buildinstall \ --pkgorder "$dest/os/$arch/pkgorder.txt" \ --version $version \ --product $product \ --release $release \ --prodpath $prodpath \ $dest/os/$arch eval_retval exit 0
