by carlopmart 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hi all, I need to setup a repo server to allocate updates for RHEL3, RHEL4, RHEL5 and CentOS5. Apart of mrrepo tool, I see that I can use reposync from yum-utils package and yum-rhn-plugin package to setup a mirror update server. But I can't to find yum-rhn-plugin under centos5 repo. Where is it?? Or I need to use package released from upstream vendor?? Thanks -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

IPtables Possibility
by Jun Salen 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hi, I just wonder if I can replace PIX firewall with machine having IPTable as my firewall. I want to control our firewall but due to the lack of knowledge in configuring PIX, i want to replace it with Linux or BSD. I do not have the time now to learn the complexity of PIX and yet I want to know what happening in my firewall and control it as much as possible. Do you think it is justifiable for me to replace it? Can you please provide me your inputs? Thank you very much. junji aisalen.wordpress.com Linux Registered User #253162 CentOS User Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

CentOS 5.1 Core 2 Duo Install freezes
by Ken Price 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Alrighty. I'm having a hell of a time and I need help. I'll try to give as much information as possible. ---------- HARDWARE ---------- MB: Supermicro PDSBM-LN2+ Intel 946GZ ICH7R + Intel® 82573 Memory: Crucial 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb modules matched to above MB. Processors: Intel Celeron 420 Conroe-L, 1.6GHz 512KB 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo E6320, 1.86Ghz 4Mb 64-bit Intel Pentium E2140 Allendale (Dual Core), 1.6GHz 1M 64-bit Hard Disks: Various Western Digital and Seagate SATA Drives ---------- ---------- BIOS (Rev 1.0 as well as Rev 1.0a) ---------- Disabled Native Mode Disabled Native Mode with ACPI Enabled SATA Native Mode ---------- KERNEL PARAMS (singularly and combination) ---------- acpi=off, pci=nommconf, pci=bios, nohz=off, noapic, nolapic, pci=routeirq, maxcpus=1 ---------- ATA_PIIX loads at startup, sometimes ACPI depending on my BIOS settings. Always after verifying dependencies, and typically during the disk format process, the installation freezes. I get a "kernel panic - not syncing" in text mode. Single disks, dual disks, LVM, no-LVM, software RAID, even when disks are on a Promise SATA300-TX4. The single-core Celeron processors work fine, but none of the dual core processors work. I'm using 5 sets of hardware, so bad hardware is unlikely. I'm stumped. Anyone out there with similar problems and/or workarounds? Any ideas? -Ken

resolv.conf question
by Thomas Dukes 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hello, I have a centos 4.6 system acting as a router for my local network. I obtain my eth0 IP address automatically via DHCP from my ISP, sc.rr.com. If I add 127.0.0.1 to resolv.conf, it won't save it. I tried adding this to my dhclient.conf lease { option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; } The above is the only entry in the file. Don't know it caused it but my system locked up 3 times since adding this. Deleted the file and its fine. Any help would be appreciated. --Eddie

Xvnc from tightvnc crashing
by Jonathan Berry 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi all, I am having issues with running tightvnc-server on a CentOS 5.1 x86_64 machine (currently up-to-date, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5). Occasionally, the Xvnc instance will just crash, taking with it everything that I was running. When it crashes, it seems to do so when I try to open some GUI program. So, for instance, I click on a shortcut to open a program, and poof, it crashes. But it does not crash every time. At times it is usable for a long time. I believe tightvnc is available from rpmforge. $ rpm -qa | grep tightvnc tightvnc-server-1.3.9-1.el5.rf tightvnc-1.3.9-1.el5.rf Is anyone else using tightvnc? Is anyone having any trouble with it? Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Here are the last few messages from the log file after one of these crashes: ** (nm-applet:26504): WARNING **: <WARNING> nma_dbus_init (): nma_dbus_init () could not acquire its service. dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection ":1.74" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" d ue to security policies in the configuration file' The application 'pam-panel-icon' lost its connection to the display :1.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application.

Disk partitions and LVM limits
by Peter Blajev 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi, I've got a DAS DELL MD1000 with a bunch of SATA drives in RAID 5 configuration with total space of 5.4TB. This box is attached to a CentOS5 system (kernel 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5). Any idea how to make this space usable? Is there a limit how big a partition can be? What is the work around? Is there a limit how big a file system ca be? I've tried to partition it but no matter how bug partition I create fdisk spits out these messages on the console: --- sdb: very big device. try to use READ CAPACITY(16). SCSI device sdb: 10248519680 512-byte hdwr sectors (5247242 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off --- I decided to not partition the drive and use LVM but the physical volume stopped at 2TB. So, right now I can't use LVM because of this 2TB limit and I'm not sure if I partition the drive how good these partitions are because of the the message from fdisk. Any help or idea is highly appreciated.

Kernel compiling troubles (ABI checking)
by ArcosCom Linux User 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi, I'm having a problem compiling the kernel as a normal user (don't know if not being root is the problem or not). What is ABI? I can compile with the flag --without kabichk, but I don't know if really is that the solution or not. The package build stops at this point: + echo '**** kABI checking is enabled in kernel SPEC file. ****' **** kABI checking is enabled in kernel SPEC file. **** + chmod 0755 /home/samueldg/rpmbuild/SOURCES/check-kabi + '[' -e /home/samueldg/rpmbuild/SOURCES/Module.kabi_i686 ']' + cp /home/samueldg/rpmbuild/SOURCES/Module.kabi_i686 /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.1.el5_ArcosCom-root/Module.kabi + /home/samueldg/rpmbuild/SOURCES/check-kabi -k /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.1.el5_ArcosCom-root/Module.kabi -s Module.symvers *** ERROR - ABI BREAKAGE WAS DETECTED *** The following symbols have been changed (this will cause an ABI breakage): inet_twsk_deschedule ipv6_get_saddr inet_csk_listen_start inet_hash_connect ... skb_append_datato_frags ip_nat_protocol_register __inet_lookup_listener + exit 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18627 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18627 (%build)

nautilus quit
by Frank Cox 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

I have a client who emailed me earlier and said that his desktop is blank. The toolbar is present but all of his desktop shortcuts are gone and he has a black desktop. I just ssh-ed into his machine and discovered that nautilus is not running for his username. So... how can I fix that? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
