Red Hat réagit à la crise économique
by Niki Kovacs 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

L'entreprise Red Hat réagit à la crise... en supprimant une énorme fête d'entreprise. Au lieu de cela, ils ont décidé de donner l'argent à l'équivalent américain des Restos du Coeur, soit quelque 800.000 repas: http://www.newsobserver.com/business/story/1314667.html J'ai toujours eu un faible pour Red Hat, mais là, je les apprécie carrément. Comme quoi l'esprit de partage ne s'arrête pas au code source. Nico

how to disable slow repository mirror?
by Tony Schreiner 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Using the yum-fastestmirror plugin on CentOS 5. The mirror that gets selected seems to be always the same one, and the particular one for my EPEL channel is slow as sin (often 30 kB/sec or less). Ctrl-C moves to the next one which is satisfactory, but it's a pain to have to do that every time. Is there a way to prevent a particular mirror from being selected? I can remove the entry from /var/cache/yum/epel/mirrorlist.txt, but it will come back at some point with a refresh. Also, since the mirror is slow, why does it keep getting chosen, for all my machines? Cheers, Tony Schreiner Boston College

Mirroring Hard Drive
by Matt 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have a 500GB Sata drive about 15% used I would like to make an exact copy of too another Sata 500GB drive as a spare. That way if something happens to the one in service I can plug in the spare quickly and restore one of the weekly backups without reinstalling the entire OS and all the little tweaks of setup on this mail/web server. How do I do this? That is make an exact bootable copy of a linux drive. Its running Centos 4.6 if that matters. Matt

Missing grub functionality on CentOS 5
by Kai Schaetzl 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub? I tried with savedefault and it does not create a /boot/grub/default as it should. So I have to assume that fallback isn't there either. The CentOS 5 grub is the same as the CentOS 4 grub and I would assume that it's the latest "legacy" grub, so it should include all that. Anyone knows why it doesn't? Anyone knows if it includes savedefault and fallback functionality? If so, how to make use of it? I downloaded the source and built (but not installed) it, that includes a grub-set-default file. I created a default file with it, but it's still not getting used by savedefault. So I must assume the functionality is not built in the CentOS grub.

Strange error on login: $HOME/.dmrc?
by Niki Kovacs 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi, Since this morning, when I login, GDM gives me an error message on login (it's in french, so I try to translate roughly): $HOME/.dmrc has been ignored, but it is responsible for saving sessions. It should not be writable for other users, and permissions should be 644. Now I had a look at this ~/.dmrc, and permissions were rw-------. So I did a chmod 644 on it (rw-r--r--) and logged back out... but the problem still persists. I'm puzzled. Any suggestions? Cheers, Niki

08 Dec '08

Hi team , We are runnig a system on CentOS 4.5 where we use a testing ERP system. Users have to login to it with telnet. When it reches about 60 telnet users, the remaing users will NOT be able to login. Hardware is , HP Pentium 4 Server with 4 Gb RAM . Pls Note we used the same system on a lower Machine with Redhat EL 3 until yesterday. But , it worked fine. @ that time, more than 100 users logined with telnet. Now, only it gves such error even when we have better Hardware and Software. Any ideas? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

CentOS 5 Xen Dom0 Kernel doesn't see CDROM
by Devraj Mukherjee 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi all, I have successfully got Xen virtualisation configured with CentOS 4 (64bit). However now that I am using the Xen Kernel my Dom0 doesn't seem to see the DVDROM device. Is this intentional in the kernel? Is there anything (apart from compiling my own kernel) that will enable the Dom0 to see the DVD-ROM device?

Prelink woes: libs not found that are (apparently) present.

I ran ldconfig with a -p and looked at the output. Sub-directories mentioned in the above config files were seen and some of the "standard" /lib and /usr/lib sub-directories. However, none of the directories from the "ls -dl" above (/usr/lib/esc-1.0.0/xulrunner/, /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/, /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.18) appeared in there. With the age of these things, I would have expected them to show. Do I need to add files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d for these? Were they supposed to be in there already? The questions are prompted by investigation of google results, related to my T'bird/FF problem, that yielded some statements that some needed libraries were not found and adding entries to /etc/ld.so.conf would fix it - but those were old posts, not RH or CentOS centric and generally I considered them unreliable for now. But once I saw ldd show not found, I reconsidered. TIA -- Bill
