mysqld breaks yum, help?
by Dac Chartrand 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Greetings. After doing: $ yum install mysql-server $ /etc/init.d/mysqld start Yum is broken. Example: $ yum list php Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * utterramblings: www.jasonlitka.com * base: mirror.nuvio.com Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) [..snip..] File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading.py", line 416, in start _start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap, ()) thread.error: can't start new thread I have the priorities plug-in setup. I did `yum update` before messing around with 3rd party repositories. The only modules I installed from the 3rd party sties are PHP related. More importantly, if I do `/etc/init.d/mysqld stop`, yum works fine. So it's only failing when mysqld is turned on. Can someone offer some insight here? Thank you for your time. $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) --- http://www.sux0r.org/

Proposed New Mailing List
by Vandaman 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Karanbir Singh wrote: > And yea, working on setting up a sort of list to handle > much of this semi OT traffic. More news on that around > Wed next week, dint ask about it now. Off course people are going to ask. In my opinion as long as a topic is marked OT, it is preferable to one not marked but one in which the OP has not even done basic research on his problem. One distro had a "brainflash" a number of years ago - create a list for expert users and one for newbies. It didn't take long for the newbies to realise that there was no one to help and so flooded the "expert list". This put off the "experts". On some mailing lists, long time users are put off by the flood of posts by newbies who don't even conform to the list guidelines. Some pay back by not replying to those in violation without as much as a hint. Would a new list really solve anything or would it close one door and open another? Regards, Vandaman.

Hy there, i have a centos (4.?) Box with nightly yum update enabled. Last night, it did an upgrade to 4.7 leading to several problem i.e. not respawning the dhcrelay, which is needed on this box.

Yumex-Error in loading repository data

On a CentOS 4 desktop Yumex gives the error message "Error in loading repository data" but yum works fine from the cli. Could something have been broken in yumex? Putting yumex in debug mode does not give me clues as to the error message. Thanks, Josh

JFS in CentOS
by Hal Martin 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Hello all, I'm relatively new to CentOS, but I've been using linux as my main operating system on both the desktop and server ends for the past 4 years. I currently have a PIII server with two 160GB IDE hard drives in it, in a virtual RAID 1 array. At the time of installation, the only FS choices for the largest partition, 120GB, were ext2 and ext3. I chose ext3, but now am wishing to reformat the partition as JFS to skip long file system check times. I've done Google searches regarding the topic, which lead me to added centos.plus to my repo list, and installed the only kernel I see as being available from CentOSPlus, and yet I still have no JFS modules loaded or anywhere in /lib/modules/. I installed JFSUtils from the CentOSPlus repo, but have no way to use the partition that has been created (by myself, using mkfs.jfs). Short of compiling a kernel with JFS support from the source package provided with CentOS, I don't know what to do. Has anyone else used JFS on CentOS 5.2 successfully? How did you do it? Thanks, Hal

This is why the RFC clearly states that you must answer certain email addresses; abuse@ being one! If you don't follow the RFC's than how can anyone expect your protocols or operations to be compliant with any standards? Now, someone decided, in their infinite wisdom, that if you send an auto-reply directing you to a web form, that this is compliant.. where as I read it as a cheat! That does not allow me to use the abuse@ address for the function it was intended and as stated earlier: I DO NOT HAVE TIME IN A DAY TO GO REPORTING SOME ADMINISTRATOR'S DEFICIENCY IN POLICING HIS/HER OWN USERS THROUGH A PROPRIETARY WEB FORM. Therefore, I have been given authority to block them, meeting my management's criteria. Make sure your rules meet the RFCs and your management's criteria and you will make your life a whole lot simpler.. Oh, and argue the RFC's with management, in case they do not understand! Cheers!
