Workplaces / Desktop on panel
by hce 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi, I've just installed CentOS 5.2, but could not find a workplaces (which I can switch between them) icon in the panel. I am running in GNOME (it was desktops in KDE). I've looked at References and Administration, but could not find the workplaces to add to the panel. Where can I find it and how can I add it to the panel? Thank you. Jim

Kernel panic from install CD
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I have a bunch of DecTOPs. Use the AMD Geode chip. Yesterday I upgraded one of them, and got the dreaded Kernel panic. Something about powernowk8. I could boot up with the old kernel, though. I know I have to put in a bug report on this, will do shortly, but first wanted to try a fresh install on another DecTOP. At the prompt, I specified: linux askmethod After it loaded the kernel, it died with the same Kernel panic. This is bad. Very bad. If they fix the kernel (when, please?), I will need to make a new install CD (how?). Yes, I can put the drive in another system, do the install, move the drive, then run system-config-display, but I was hoping that 5.2 fixed the install problems i was having on these DecTOPs with 5.1....

Centos 5.2 Install - lvcreate failed for ...
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

!st install of 5.2; system requires custom partitioning (Scalix mail server). Boot and Swap are hard partitions, rest of drive is LVM. In LVM, three ext3 partitions: /, /home, /var/opt/scalix lvcreate failed for the last (named Scalix_02). It was the last of the three partitions and used up the remainder of the LVM space. Now 'The Installer will now exit..." And all there is is a Reboot button. Any idea on what the real error is, how to find out more, what to try next? It did take me a bit to walk through the packet selection. Next I will try to build a more normal system :)

5.2 upgrade mostly good (so far)
by fred smith 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi Guys! Thanks to the whole Centos team for all their hard work. You have no IDEA how much I appreciate it! I ran "yum upgrade" last night, rebooted this morning and encountered a couple of small problems: 1. "shutdown -h now" goes all the way down but does not power down the box like it always has before. Same when shutting down via the GUI shutdown dialog. I can offer up machine details should anyone want them. 2. Trying to recompile the official Cisco VPN client after the reboot and it fails with this info: # make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.1.el5/build SUBDIRS=/home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-92.1.1.el5-i686' CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/linuxcniapi.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/frag.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/IPSecDrvOS_linux.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/interceptor.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/linuxkernelapi.o LD [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/cisco_ipsec.o Building modules, stage 2.

I've built this same version for several previous Centos kernels, so this appears to be a new phenomenon. Clues would be appreciated.

updating to 5.2 from local repo
by Kai Schaetzl 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

This is my first major version update after using a local repo. It seems that before I can "yum update" I have to fetch the complete new 5.2 base? Is this correct? When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors although all the updates are synced. When I change to using the original repo file it wants to download many many more and shows a lot of files that are in base and not in updates.

CentOS 5.2 - GFS and glock_purge tunable
by James Thompson 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

The documentation for 5.2 indicates the glock_purge tunable parameter is present for GFS in its example output from `gfs_tool gettune`. However, I just upgraded a 5.1 system to 5.2 and everything looks good except for the mysterious absence of the glock_purge parameter. Any ideas as to why this tunable which I was looking forward to getting is missing? - James Thompson
