Build fails on new kernel source
by MHR 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

On my x86_64, I pulled down the source for the 2.6.18-92.1.13 kernel and followed the wiki faithfully, but it will not build. I'm getting errors in the Buslogic driver: In file included from drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:56: drivers/scsi/BusLogic.h:241: error: redeclaration of enumerator 'false' include/linux/stddef.h:16: error: previous definition of 'false' was here drivers/scsi/BusLogic.h:243: error: redeclaration of enumerator 'true' include/linux/stddef.h:18: error: previous definition of 'true' was here drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c: In function 'BusLogic_InitializeProbeInfoListISA': drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:584: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:586: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:588: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:590: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:592: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:594: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c: In function 'BusLogic_InitializeMultiMasterProbeInfo': drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:800: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:810: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:812: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:814: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:816: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:818: warning: 'check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:134) drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c: In function 'BusLogic_init': drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:2301: warning: ignoring return value of 'scsi_add_host', declared with attribute warn_unused_result make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/BusLogic.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... It seems like a simple enough error to correct, but it seems kind of odd that it would occur in the first place - redefinitions of "true" and "false"? Is anyone else seeing this? Thanks. mhr

Request info on managing MySQL
by Joe Klemmer 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Good day/night/whatever fellow techies, I've come to a small problem managing mysql on CentOS 4.7 box[1]. When I have done things on mysql on my desktop systems it was always just for personal use so I would be lazy and put everything under the "test" db so I didn't have to deal with all that security. But I find that I need to put some db's on the "production" box and could use a little assistance. I can manage with the bulk of the work but since mysql is all pre-configured on RH based systems I don't know where to find the root password or any other tidbits needed to get started. Access to the grant and other admin db's and tables is all I believe I need. Looking through the docs on centos.org didn't reveal anything to me (or I just missed it). So the end result of this message is simply can someone point me to the howto use mysql on CentOS/RHEL info. I just need to be able to start adding db's and such. Once there I'm good to go. Thank you in advance, Joe [1] I know, I should upgrade but, as I mentioned, I'm a real lazy guy. -- Using Linux since 11/1991 | http://www.linux.org Linux user #29402 | http://counter.li.org/ CentOS Linux | http://www.centos.org

SIze of reformatted USB drive
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

I just reformatted an 8Gb USB drive as ext3. While as FAT32, it was reported as having well over 7Gb free (did not note the exact capacity). I reformatted with mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 Now it is reported (oh, this is with properties in Nautilus) as having 6.8Gb capacity (free space actually). Does this makes sense that ext3 has less available space than fat32?

Implementing LVS changes made in Piranha GUI
by David Dyer-Bennet 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Every time I touch something, pieces fall off! It's a good thing this stuff isn't in production yet (for me I mean). So I had an LVS, configured with Piranha, directing http test transactions across two servers. I used Piranha to add another realserver. It appeared in the lvs.cf file, but didn't appear in the ipvsadm output. So I stopped and restarted Pulse. And now *none* of the servers appear in the ipvsadm output. Pulse says it started clean, and nothing in the syslog. The gratuitous arp gets made, and the correct IPs are assigned to the correct interfaces. [ddb@prcapp02 ~]$ sudo ipvsadm IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP prcvmod01.pinerivercapital.l wlc That's the write service name (the ".l" at the end is ".local" truncated). WLC is the right scheduling mode. But no remote addresses are listed.

fix firefox?
by Paul Bijnens 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

I once had firefox x86_64 installed (because it was the default). But that one has problems with plugins (flash, java), which are much easily solved by using the i386 version. So I unstalled firefox, and installed it again using: yum install firefox.i386 This worked, and even the plugins worked fine afterwards. I did have some problems when uninstalling, because yum insisted on a whole load of dependencies going up to uninstalling the package 'firstboot' (wow!). However I can't remember the exact details anymore. I do not remember having to force anything; just reinstall a little bit more than I was expecting to. I do remember that after the erase/install, no particular problems were left and I used firefox since then without any problems. Today came the update for firefox 3.0.2. So I did "yum update". The depencies included xulrunner and devhelp. However, yum complained about a conflict between xulrunner 1.9.0.1 being incompatible. So I erased xulrunner first (yum erase xulrunner). And then installed firefox again: yum install firefox.i386 it pulls in xulrunner as well, but two different versions for two different architectures (???): ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: firefox i386 3.0.2-3.el5.centos updates 11 M Installing for dependencies: xulrunner x86_64 1.9.0.2-5.el5 updates 10 M xulrunner i386 1.9.0.1-1.el5_2 updates 10 M and afterwards firefox complains: $ firefox Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.2 and 1.9.0.2.

Install via VNC
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

This sounds very interesting: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VncHeadlessInstall It would get me around my limitations on the screen on the OQO. And the instructions read rather well. Only thing I don't know how to do is have vncviewer in 'listen' mode.
