Before I added that line to the /etc/fstab file in my daughters box, I did a "yum update autofs". No joy. Then, I added that line to the /etc/fstab file. No joy. Possibly, if I do some more research, I can figure out what to change your suggested line to. However, in my box, there is nothing like that in the /etc/fstab file and automount works perfectly. I would like to know what is putting this line into the /etc/mtab file in my box, when I have the CentOS DVD in the drive: /dev/hdc /media/CentOS_5.0_Final iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=503 0 0 Whatever is causing that line to be added to /etc/mtab apparently makes the automount work properly.

When I try to do this, I get these error messages on the command line: (system-config-network:3061): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Failed to open file '/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/network.xpm': No such file or directory (system-config-network:3061): libglade-WARNING **: could not convert string to type `GdkPixbuf' for property `logo' I don't know how to add the right adapter because it won't allow me to select the right one or add a new one of the form Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG. Also, it seems to have configured eth1 as an ethernet device whereas I want it to be a wireless device. So I'm absolutely baffled and don't know where to go from here - I may just have to stick with Windows XP for my wireless connection.

PHP 4 on Centos 5
by Juan Nin 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi! I want to install PHP 4 via RPM on a CentOS 5 server. I downloaded the CentOS 4.5 , installed all needed dependency packages, but I'm having troubles while building the RPM: I was having compile errors with the Apache APR module, I had to make a symlink form apr-config to apr-1-config, since the package expected to find apr-config which didn't exist, and had to pass via CFLAGS the result of "apr-config --cppflags --includes --cflags" Now I reach a stage, where some test are made, I to check fo some PHP bugs and it fails there... I removed the first bug giving probelsm to see what happened, and failed with another one, which it's really strange, bugs like the #23951 which was solved in June 2003... I don;t understand why is this happening.. :( Has anyone been able to compile a PHP 4 RPM on CentOS 5 or are there any available SRPMs out there already prepared for this? I've compiled PHP 4.4.7 from source downloaded form php.net with no problems, but I would like to install it via RPM, preferably by using the CentOS PHP 4 RPM. If there isn't, I will compile directly form source and not use RPM, but would prefer to do it via RPM if possible Thanks in advance, Juan PS: please, don't reply telling me to use PHP 5, I NEED to use PHP 4 on this case, will migrate to PHP 5 ASAP, but still can not do it yet :)

Follow on: On this page: <https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/release-notes/…> I saw this: > Release Notes Updates > > This section contains information that was not included in the > distribution version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Release Notes > > * CDs and DVDs do not automatically mount when you are logged in > as root. As such, you will need to run the following command > to mount a CD or DVD to /media: > > mount /dev/cdrom /media The problem is not only when logged in as root. I did that (su - and then: mount /dev/cdrom /media) and I was able to install the Package I wanted. My question remains, what configuration file do I need to change, to get automount to work correctly on that box? (The same DVD was used to install CentOS 5.0 on my box and my daughters box). I use GNOME on both boxes. Works perfectly on my box. TIA, Lanny

Updating system
by Dago Pacheco 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi... I'm about to update my centos 4 x64 as is said in the centos-announces list, but i have a question. The link included in the mail direct me to a redhat web page where the update is explained and remarks that all previously released updates must be applied in order to set the current update. My question is, do i have to set some parameter when aptemting to update my system by "up2date" command or does it do automatically?

Re: [CentOS] Re: Postfix smtp freezing
by Jason Ross 13 Aug '07

Rick, The reason i used top was because I noticed that mailscanner and smtpd were always on the list UNLESS the issue was occurring. I will try ps + grep next time as well. As for the ips they resolve quickly however they are all listed in /etc/hosts as we do not have an internal DNS. -jr replies-lists-a1z2-centos(a)listmail.innovate.net wrote: > using "top" to look for processes probably isn't the best approach as > (by default) you'll only see the more resource intensive applications. > you'll probably get a better picture of things related to a specific > application using "ps" (and grep). > > when you connect to an MTA (e.g., postfix/sendmail) it will try to do > an reverse map lookup on the ipnumber of the inbound connection. if you > don't have in-addr.apra entries for your ipnumbers, or if the machine > running your MTA is having trouble getting to the dns server for the > ipnumber range, then you'll get the type of delays you seem to be > seeing. ultimately the dns will time out (the number of dns servers you > have listed in your mail server's /etc/resolv.conf will effect this - > more is not better). > > you can get a sense of whether this is the issue by doing lookups (on > the mail server) of the ipnumber(s) for connecting machines that are > encountering the delay. depending on your configuration, your server > may cache a result, so the first may be slow with subsequent ones > being fast (until you hit the TTL on the record). > > [by the way, when sending to a mailing list please try to suppress your > confidentiality notice as it's meaningless in this context, and takes > up a lot of lines.] > > - Rick > >

Cannot Boot XServer
by Robert Jackson 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I am currently using Virtual PC 2007 to install/configure CentOS 4.5. I've got the O/S installed ok. However since running a yum update, I can no longer successfully complete an init 5 boot. Virtual PC gives an internal error 13 message. If I boot to init 3, I can reconfigure the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and run 'startx' manually without any problems. If I then shutdown the Virtual PC and restart, it will not boot to init 5. Anyone seen this before and can offer any assistance?

Automount configuration problem
by Lanny Marcus 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I have a simple automount configuration problem. I've done two similar, clean, Custom installations of CentOS 5.0, on two similar, but not identical boxes. On my box, automount is working perfectly. On my daughter's box, it's not working. If I put the FC6 DVD into the drive in my box, I can see the contents of the DVD, without any problem. If I cat /etc/mtab in my box, I see this line: /dev/hdc /media/FC_6\040i386\040DVD iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=503 0 0 In System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media, in both boxes, for Storage tab, the 3 top boxes have check marks. Mounted on /media. On my daughters box, nothing in /media. It's /dev/hdc. Question: What configuration file do I need to change, in her box? TIA! Lanny

Re: [CentOS] Can't get ipw2200 to work in CentOS 5 on Dell laptop
by andy.allen＠virgin.net 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Thanks again Phil for all your help, It's now on the hardware tab OK and says ipw2200 eth1 ethernet configured! However, what I just don't understand (and sorry if I'm being dumb!) is why the "new" adapter just doesn't show up in the list of adapters on the devices tab as Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG or some such. So the problem is when I try to set up eth1 with all the necessary wireless info (WEP key etc), I can't do it because I can't select the right adapter! I'm sure I'm nearly there, but this last "small step for man" is proving to be a bit of "a giant leap...."!

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but you do need to reboot after adding the line to /etc/modprobe.conf. Memory is hazy as I have not done this for quite a while, but I believe you also need to add the adapter in system-config-network with "New" on the "Devices" tab. It does have to show up on the "Hardware" tab for this to work. Assuming you get that far, it is good to create separate profiles to use when you move from wired to wireless. These can be selected at boot time by adding "netprofile="MyProfileName" (in my case MyProfileName can be "Wired", "WiFi", or a few other location-dependent values) to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf - otherwise defaults to the last used profile. Can either manually edit at boot time (requires you to remember the legal profile names) or maintain separate grub stanzas for different profiles.

lm_sensors on CentOS 4.5
by Martin Minka 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

hello, I have problem to install lm_sensors on CentOS 4.5 (Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp). I am getting error message "FATAL: Module bmcsensors not found." after I enter "modprobe bmcsensors". I got advice to install http://bmcsensors-26.sourceforge.net/ into my kernel, but I don't know how to do it. Does somebody has experience how to get lm-sensors working on CentOS 4.5 ? Sincerely, Martin
