Anaconda exception: installation media already mounted
by Kenneth Porter 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

I'm trying to install CentOS5 i386 from DVD ISO to my new second SATA drive. I boot from a USB key and tell it to use the DVD image on sda5 (ext3, an FC5 boot partition), installing to a default partition setup on sdb. I tell it to install grub to sda (where my old FC5 grub install lives), with WinXP64 on sda1 as a non-default additional OS. Right after that I get an Anaconda exception that the installation media is already mounted. What now?

Only 1.2x when burning DVD
by Johnny Ljunggren 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello all I've got a Matshita dvd-ram uj-830sx that is performing very bad on my freshly installed CentOS 5. I'm using k3b and get a steady 1.2x which is way too slow. I think it is supposed to do ~8x and the discs are 16x. Any suggestions? (hdparm -c 1 -d 1 /dev/hdc turned on 32-bit IO but only helped slightly) Johnny Ljunggren

Which repositores?
by Johnny Ljunggren 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello all I'm new to RHEL/CentOS so I'm wondering what repositories people add/enable to get all the extras they want? Especially multimedia stuff. I tried to enable [contrib] but that didn't seem to be available (yet). I then added rpmforge and atrpms which seem to work. However I've read that atrpms may wreak havoc on my installation; is it best to keep it disabled? What about rpmforge? I found something called kbs-CentOS-Misc as well but it was not available. So, what repositories do you suggest for a workstation type of installation? Johnny Ljunggren

php-5 install issues on centos 4
by Karl Hanzel 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

OK, i've found php-5 RPMs in the centosplus dir on mirrors. Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the difference between php-5.1.6-1.2.1.centos.x86_64.rpm and php-5.1.6-3.el4s1.5.x86_64.rpm ? There's other such examples in the same dir. Anyway, i opted to try installing the "el4" variety, along with the comparable RPM for php-mysql, but --after satisfying other dependencies-- ran into this: libmysqlclient.so.15()(64bit) is needed by php-mysql-5.1.6-3.el4s1.5.x86_64 libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)(64bit) is needed by php-mysql-5.1.6-3.el4s1.5.x86_64 Which stumps me, because the libmysqlclient14-devel RPM would seem to be the latest-greatest available in that centosplus dir. Does one have to turn elsewhere for the libmysqlclient15-devel RPM that would presumably supply the right SO file? Thanks for any & all help. *----->

Bugs on CentOS 5.0 x86
by Ioannis Vranos 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Well, here is my list of bugs, in case they were not reported before, and in case these are not Upstream problems. Any suggestions about fixing them would be welcome. 1) Under GNOME (I have KDE installed too): I am logging in as a user, and have kget and korgac to at start up programs, under Sessions and often their icons show up on the left (sometimes one above the other), instead of showing up on the right, as they are supposed to. 2) /sbin/ programs are not in the path! (it may be not a bug, I am relatively new to GNU/Linux). 3) Possible CentOS bug, not Upstream. The driver for my modem (ftp://ftp.allieddata.com/Public/Product_Info/Analog_Modems/Tornado_562-SII/…) fails to install. The tar.gz and rpm both fail, and I will provide the output of the rpm installation: [root@localhost hsfmodem-7.18.00.02oem-1.i386.rpm.zip_FILES]# rpm -ivh hsfmodem-7.18.00.02oem-1.i386.rpm warning: hsfmodem-7.18.00.02oem-1.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5dfbf7dc Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:hsfmodem ########################################### [100%] Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.18.00.02oem If you need assistance or more information, please go to: http://www.linuxant.com/ When reporting a problem for the first time, please send us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag".

No sound from Adobe flash player 9.0.31 on CentOS 4.4 x86_64
by Mark Hull-Richter 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

I have the Adobe (Macromedia) flash player installed on my CentOS 4.4 x86_64 system, but when I try to play a flash movie in SeaMonkey (or Firefox - doesn't matter) I get no sound. I'm using the nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.4 to make it work at all, but there's no sound. All my other sound devices/players work just fine, even my Windows guest on VMWare Server. Any ideas/suggestions? Yes, I'm planning to upgrade to CentOS 5 RSN - I'm waiting to get an exchange on my (defective) new SG 400GB drive so I can back up the two partitions on my current boot drive where I'm going to install 5.0.

RealPlayer10 on CentOS5 / i386
by Tony 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hi, I've installed what I believe is the latest realplayer direct from www.real.com and I'm getting silence. Video works- but no audio. No error messages anywhere but just silence. The Adobe flash player plugin works in Firefox ok, so I'm guessing the error is within my realplayer settings. The file that I've downloaded is RealPlayer10GOLD.bin and help/about reports version 10.0.8.805 (gold). In tools/prefs/hardware I've tried disabling 16-bit sound, and disabling custom sampling rates - neither seemed to make any difference. Anyone else got it working? -- Cheers, Tony

Yum Mirror Errors
by Mark Weaver 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

While attempting to grab some packages from the repos I've been getting a lot of mirror errors. Anyone have any idea why? I've recently updated from CentOS 5 Beta2 to the final version and it went flawlessly. The first thing I did though was to update the centos-release packages per a previous post. I was under the impression this would take care of repo problems. Was I incorrect? Errors: Setting up repositories http://centosg.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centoso.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centosf.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centose.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centosj.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centosh.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centosi.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centosk.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://centosn.centos.org/centos/5/contrib/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror.

CentOS5, kernel update and 3ware driver
by Florin Andrei 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

I'm using CentOS5 64bit on a system with a 3ware 9650SE card. I installed the OS using the driver disk files provided by 3ware. It worked fine with the original CentOS5 kernel. After doing a "yum update", which also installed an updated kernel, the system didn't work after a reboot, using the new kernel. I rebooted the old kernel, moved the 3w-9xxx.ko file from /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates to /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.1.el5/updates then did this: mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5.img 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 The initrd image for the new kernel was rebuilt without apparent issues. I booted up the new kernel and now it seems to work fine. So here's my question: The system _appears_ to work fine with the updated kernel and the driver module from 3ware that was made for the original kernel. But this is a machine that is supposed to be very reliable, so I'm wondering, do I have to rebuild the driver for the new kernel, or can I just use the existing driver version without problems? The emphasis here is on reliability. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Dear friends: Is there a single source for the multimedia applications that are not included with Centos 5: RealPlayer, Mplayer, mplayerplug-in, Acrobat Reader, Java, libdvdcss, etc.? Would appreciate your help. Thank you so much. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin Sher sher07(a)mindspring.com
