[CentOS] YumRepo Warning: not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - 5 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet
by Rudi Ahlers 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi all Does anyone know what causes this error? I have setup a local CentOS repository, with mrepo, and can succesfully use it for updates & installation of just about anything. Yet, this error comes up. Here's my /etc/yum.conf: # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d [base-local] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #mirrorlist= http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os baseurl=http://192.168.10.10/repo/centos5/$basearch/os gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 [updates-local] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates #mirrorlist= http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updat… baseurl=http://192.168.10.10/repo/centos5/$basearch/updates gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 [addons-local] name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons #mirrorlist= http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=addons baseurl=http://192.168.10.10/repo/centos5/$basearch/addons gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 [extras-local] name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons #mirrorlist= http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=addons baseurl=http://192.168.10.10/repo/centos5/$basearch/extras gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 And when I browse to http://192.168.10.10/repo/centos5 - it looks similar to the online CentOS repositories, but only with the x86 folder. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

specialix module
by Jerry Geis 26 Aug '08

I am wondering if it is possible to just grab the specialix.c file and compile that one module (not the entire kernel) and of course load that module and have it work. Is that possible? Jerry

Slow Xen on CentOS 5.2?
by Eduardo Grosclaude 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hello, Should Xen still work on CentOS 5.2 with 1GB RAM? On my Toshiba Satellite notebook Xen performed reasonably well as of CentOS 5.0. After I updated the system, Xen takes an unusable startup time. Every task at boot, since nash is fired, seems to take increasingly longer. I can't seem to find any references to this problem. Where should I look first? Thanks in advance -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

virt-install error: "virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400"
by Graeme West 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi there, I've been happily installing VMs in CentOS 5.2's Xen implementation using virt-manager. However, my latest attempt to use the install wizard in virt-manager failed when I got to the networking screen. The 'forward' button was unresponsive, and I was unable to proceed. I checked the virt-manager logs, and saw this appearing immediately after I tried to proceed: /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log: [Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] ERROR (virt-manager:132) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 294, in forward if(self.validate(notebook.get_current_page()) != True): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 974, in validate vm = self.connection.vmm.lookupByName(name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 646, in lookupByName if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainLookupByName() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400 None There was also a lot of this in the main system log (1-2 messages per second): [Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] DEBUG (connection:580) Couldn't fetch domain id 3; it probably went away So I tried to use virt-install on the shell instead, but got much the same error: [root@optimus swadmin]# virt-install --hvm --name=zurich.gcal.ac.uk --ram=2048 --file=/var/lib/xen/images/zurich.gcal.ac.uk.img --vnc --vcpus=2 --cdrom=/home/swadmin/software/OpenSolaris/sol-nv-b93-x86-dvd.iso --network=bridge:xenbr0 Starting install... virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400 Domain installation may not have been successful.

screen not sourcing .bashrc
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi everyone, I use the "screen" command from time to time and what i would still have to figure out how to do is for it to be able to source .bashrc and read my user-defined configuration (aliases for example). I have already added the "source /root/.bashrc" line on /root/.screenrc but it doesn't seem to be working. Would anyone know how this should work? Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

Re: [CentOS] RH's servers breached
by Scott Beardsley 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

> What's the point on this for us, CentOS users ? I'd like to know if CentOS has been affected by RH's compromise. Can someone please comment? AFAIK, CentOS builds from RHEL SRPMs right? So as Rui mentioned the script that RH provided is useless. They do give the version info of the compromised packages: # The signed tampered packages were: # # openssh-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.24 for i386, x86_64 architecture # openssh-3.9p1-9.el4 for i386, x86_64 architecture # openssh-4.3p2-26 for x86_64 architecture # openssh-4.3p2-26.el5 for x86_64 architecture Of course I have all of these on my local CentOS mirror right now. It would be nice to know if I'm serving compromised packages. RH doesn't mention whether the SRPMs were compromised. If they were I suspect CentOS is affected also. Thanks in advance, Scott

Re: Re: Problems with perl upgrading CentOS 5.1 to 5.2 [SOLVED?]
by ArcosCom Linux User 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Taking a view into perl packages (classes) needed by spamassassin (qmail-toaster package), I saw that there are a script that install the classes using CPAN. I discovered that CPAN installed packages goes into a diferent directory that distro ones. The workaround (solution) I found is rename this directory and install the needed packages manually from rpmforge repository. All appears to be working now. The steps have been: 1) Rename /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl. 2) Update perl packages. 3) Install the needed clases as packages (from rpmforge) instead from CPAN. 4) Reinstall packages broken because they install manually any propietary perl classes into the system (vmware-server for example).

Yum corrupting RPMs
by Tom Lanyon 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi list, Trying to upgrade someone's workstation here to 5.2 (was installed from a 5.0 DVD I think). The RPMs on our internal mirror are in-tact and pass a 'rpm -- checksig' test, yet when I run a 'yum upgrade' a large portion of them are corrupted and fail the GPG check. This seems to be isolated to yum, as downloading the RPM directly via FTP with wget or lftpget provides an RPM that *does* pass the GPG check. I have upgraded key packages to the latest version (eg. yum upgrade 'yum*') and tried again to no avail. Anyone seen this before? Thanks, Tom -- Tom Lanyon Systems Administrator NetSpot Pty Ltd
