Today's log - yum entries
by Ned Slider 11 May '08

11 May '08

Hi list, I have the following entries, below, in today's log file (for yesterday, 10th May). I don't run the automated yum-updated and didn't run a yum update yesterday, and no packages were installed. Obviously the entries are old. I was wondering if anyone could offer an explanation? Thanks, Ned --------------------- yum Begin ------------------------ Packages Installed: lzo.i386 1.08-4.2.el5.rf libmad.i386 0.15.1b-4.el5.rf lame.i386 3.97-1.el5.rf faac.i386 1.25-2.el5.rf mplayer.i386 1.0-0.34.rc1try2.el5.rf giflib.i386 4.1.3-7.1.el5.1 xvidcore.i386 1.1.2-1.el5.rf mplayerplug-in.i386 3.40-1.el5.rf openal.i386 0.0.8-2.el5.rf kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 xorg-x11-server-sdk.i386 1.1.1-48.13.0.1.el5 dkms.noarch 2.0.13-1.el5.rf lirc.i386 0.6.6-4.el5.rf libdvdnav.i386 0.1.10-3.el5.rf aalib.i386 1.4.0-5.el5.rf perl-libwww-perl.noarch 5.805-1.1.1 libmpcdec.i386 1.2.2-2.el5.rf x264.i386 0.0.0-0.3.20061214.el5.rf mplayer-fonts.noarch 1.1-3.0.rf libmp4v2.i386 1.5.0.1-3.el5.rf Packages Updated: libX11-devel.i386 1.0.3-8.0.1.el5 xorg-x11-apps.i386 7.1-4.0.1.el5 kernel-headers.i386 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 vim-enhanced.i386 2:7.0.109-3.el5.3 cups.i386 1:1.2.4-11.5.1.el5 firefox.i386 1.5.0.10-2.el5.centos freetype-devel.i386 2.2.1-17.el5 evolution.i386 2.8.0-33.0.1.el5 libX11.i386 1.0.3-8.0.1.el5 yelp.i386 2.16.0-14.0.1.el5 spamassassin.i386 3.1.8-2.el5 postgresql-libs.i386 8.1.9-1.el5 vim-minimal.i386 2:7.0.109-3.el5.3 vim-common.i386 2:7.0.109-3.el5.3 devhelp.i386 0.12-10.0.1.el5 cups-libs.i386 1:1.2.4-11.5.1.el5 freetype.i386 2.2.1-17.el5 ---------------------- yum End ------------------------- Last 25 packages installed/updated as reported by RPM: $ rpm -qa --last | head -n 25 kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5 Fri 09 May 2008 06:45:18 PM BST kernel-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5 Fri 09 May 2008 06:41:23 PM BST kernel-devel-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5 Fri 09 May 2008 06:40:49 PM BST flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-1.el5.rf Wed 07 May 2008 01:18:16 AM BST xine-lib-1.1.12-1.el5.rf Wed 07 May 2008 01:17:56 AM BST perl-BerkeleyDB-0.34-1.el5.rf Wed 07 May 2008 01:17:53 AM BST p7zip-plugins-4.57-1.el5.rf Fri 25 Apr 2008 12:57:38 AM BST p7zip-4.57-1.el5.rf Fri 25 Apr 2008 12:57:35 AM BST gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-5.el5_1.1 Thu 24 Apr 2008 05:03:23 AM BST amavisd-new-2.5.4-1.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:14:03 PM BST clamd-0.93-2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:14:01 PM BST clamav-0.93-2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:59 PM BST clamav-db-0.93-2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:58 PM BST ncompress-4.2.4-47 Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:57 PM BST perl-Archive-Zip-1.16-1.2.1 Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:56 PM BST nomarch-1.4-1.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:55 PM BST freeze-2.5.0-1.2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:55 PM BST lha-1.14i-19.2.2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:54 PM BST perl-Convert-TNEF-0.17-3.2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:53 PM BST perl-MIME-tools-5.420-2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:52 PM BST perl-Convert-UUlib-1.051-1.2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:51 PM BST perl-Convert-BinHex-1.119-2.2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:51 PM BST arc-5.21o-1.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:50 PM BST perl-MailTools-2.02-1.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:49 PM BST zoo-2.10-2.2.el5.rf Wed 23 Apr 2008 07:13:47 PM BST

Howto get yum/http download statistics?
by Patrick 11 May '08

11 May '08

Hi, How do you get yum/http download statistics of files (rpms) that live on a CentOS5.1 box with Apache? Is it just a matter of installing some weblog analyzer software or is some other magic needed? Thanks! Patrick

Windows key works some times I boot, doesn't work others
by Nick Fenwick 11 May '08

11 May '08

Hi all, I run CentOS5.1 with all updates, and like to use metacity's keybindings (gconf-editor->/apps/metacity/global_keybindings and keybinding_commands) to set shortcut keys for xterm, nautilus, and the like, so <Mod4>x runs xterm and <Mod4>e runs nautilus, rather how Windows-XP keyboard shortcuts work. I always log on as 'neek', the only user other than 'root' that I use for user shells on this laptop. I've used a default Gnome desktop since fresh install about 4 months ago. I find that sometimes when I boot, the keybindings take effect, and sometimes when I boot, they do not. I reckon one of two things might be happening: - on some boots, the gconf configuration that I have set up fails to be loaded - on some boots, my windows key mapping somehow gets screwed, so that pressing it does not send a Mod4 keystroke to whatever recognises them I don't think the former is happening, because I can run gconf-editor as 'neek' and see my keybinding configuration even when the keybindings are not working, such as this morning. I suspect the latter, because I can press Mod4-x and get an 'x' character in places where I'd expect it to not give me an 'x', for example in an xterm pressing the key combination just sends an 'x' to the console, whereas alt-x does not. When the windows key is working as expected, I don't see an 'x' echo'd to the console. How can I investigate why my Windows key is not triggering the expected keybinding commands? TIA Nick

OT: YUM, RPM and PGP keys

A short time ago a message on this list referred to an OSS project called ledgersmb. I am having a deal of difficulty getting this installed and as the web page at www.ledgersmb.org yields a "page not found" error and the ledger-smb-users mailing list seems very lightly used I wonder if someone here could help me out? I have ploughed through all of the perl dependencies for ledgersmb v-1.2.13, thanks to Dag's repositories, but I have run up against a roadblock on this: Installing: ledgersmb noarch 1.2.13-1 ledgersmb-1.2.13-1.noarch.rpm 9.2 M Installing for dependencies: dialog i386 1.0.20051107-1.2.2 base 162 k perl-Smart-Comments noarch 1.0.3-1.el5.rf dag 23 k tetex i386 3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 updates 13 M tetex-latex i386 3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 updates 5.4 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 5 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 28 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 8da0af10 Public key for ledgersmb-1.2.13-1.noarch.rpm is not installed However, I believe that I have imported this key, at least I did this: # curl http://ledgersmb.org/files/ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg > ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 1048 100 1048 0 0 7494 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 # rpm --import ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg and yet I keep getting the same key not installed error: My questions are several. 1. Can one force the package to install regardless of the missing key; and, if so, exactly how is that done? 2. Is the key that I have imported the correct one? 3. Is there a command to list what keys rpm has imported? Thanks, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Intel ICH9R Raid5 Recovery
by Ruslan Sivak 10 May '08

10 May '08

I had a raid5 on an onboard Intel ICH9R chip under windows. Windows crashed, as it often does, and the array became degraded. At some point during the rebuild, I was doing some hardware maintanence and unplugged one of the drives, and forgot to plug it back in. When I booted up, the array came back as failed. I turned off the PC, plugged the drive back in and powered it back on, but the array stayed as failed. Is there a way to recover the data? I heard dmraid supports ich9r raid volumes, but I keep getting an error saying unsupported map state 2. I found out that dmraid doesnt' support raid 5 (at least not on a ICH9R chip). I heard about this patch: http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/, but I'm not sure how to apply it to a linux live cd. Does anyone have any idea? Is there maybe a way to reset the metadata to make the intel controller boot the array anyway? Russ

Recover ICH9R raid5
by Ruslan Sivak 10 May '08

10 May '08

I have a raid5 on an onboard ICH9R FAKERAID. I was booting into windows and windows crashed as it sometimes does, which put my array into a degraded step. At some point before the array finished rebuilding I unplugged one of the drives and forgot to plug it back in. When I booted up the system, it told me that the array was now failed. I plugged the drive back in, but the array stays as failed and offers me no option to repair it. I heard that dmraid supports ICH9R raid. Is there any way to get the data off of there? When I try to use dmraid of a knoppix live cd it complaints about an unsupported map state 0x2. I heard there was a patch http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/, but I'm not sure how to apply that to a LiveCD. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can recover the data? Maybe I can just change the metadata and force it to boot the array? Russ

disk partitioning - I'm missing something simple, I think
by Ray Leventhal 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all, Excuse the question as I'm sure those more experienced will find it simple. I've a CentOS5.1 box with six physical drives, two of which are used for nightly rsync backups. Contents of /etc/mtab, /etc/fstab, df and a brief narrative follow: ====================================================== # cat ./fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home/adminusers /home/adminusers ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 ====================================================== # cat ./mtab /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /home/adminusers ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0 ====================================================== # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 131G 4.7G 120G 4% / /dev/sdc1 271G 147G 111G 58% /home /dev/sdd1 271G 3.9G 253G 2% /home/adminusers /dev/sda1 99M 20M 74M 22% /boot tmpfs 442M 0 442M 0% /dev/shm ====================================================== Each night, in addition to our tape backup paradigm, an rsync script is run which mounts /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/sysinfo and copies system data from sda1 there. /dev/sdb1 is a 146GB drive. The script then mounts /dev/sde1 on /mnt/userdata for a copy of /home and /home/adminusers. /dev/sde1 is a wholly underutilized 300G drive. I'd like to move the contents of /home/adminusers from /dev/sdd1 to /dev/sdc1 and use that underutilized drive elsewhere. What's the least invasive way of doing this given the hardware and partitioning on my system? Thanks in advance, -Ray
