update for 5.3
by Jerry Geis 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hey its been over a week for updated 5.3 status... http://twitter.com/centos :) Not being silly, just got a couple motherboards sitting here collecting dust as 5.2 wont install on them. Hoping 5.3 will. with all the updated NIC drivers. By the way, KB, when I got married I had the understanding that I at least got a new computer every year! Got to set things straight from the beginning! Seriously, have a great wedding. Jerry

Yum update conflicts perl-Math-BigInt
by Dan Carl 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

I followed the Wiki instructions for setting up *yum-priorities*. I added the rpmforge repo I installed clamd without a problem. Now when I go to update I get conflicts with perl-Math-BigInt. Is the only solution to uninstall the base version and then install the rpmforge version? According the the wiki "Packages from repositories with a lower priority will never be used to upgrade packages that were installed from a repository with a higher priority." If this true why the conflicts? please advise Thanks Dan

Re: [CentOS] Emergency rescue help needed
by Brent L. Bates 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Personally, I find this UPS exploding paranoia rather ridiculous. One person has one UPS burst into flames and everyone is yelling the sky is falling. We have no idea what conditions the UPS had been subjected to and to then jump to the conclusion that all UPS's are bombs waiting to explode is just insane. We've been using UPS's for years and years and the worst we've had are batteries that got swollen to the point we had to use a crowbar to get them out of the UPS. We then replaced the battery and had years more use out of the UPS. We've purchased used UPS's at government auctions, replaced the batteries, and had years of service out of them. All our UPS's are APC. We have and have used a wide range of sizes, from 250VA to 3000VA, Backup's to SmartUp's. I've used/tried other brands, but haven't been as satisfied with them. APC isn't perfect, they've made some stupid mistakes, but I've been more satisfied with them than the others we've tried. Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.) Phone:(757) 865-1400, x204 ViGYAN, Inc.

Security update missing - kernel-2.6.18-128.el5
by Milan Keršláger 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Please, do not delay this "Important" multiple security update. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0225.html for more info. This update is "5.3" kernel but has been released as security update too. RHN pushed this kernel one day ahead of rest of 5.3 packages (on my servers). RH maintains API and ABI (!) compatibility so there is no problem to use this kernel AFAIK. So please, do not delay it anymore, this contains multiple security vulnerabilities fixed since 2009-01-20. Thank you for your effort (a lot). M.K. -- Milan Keršláger http://www.pslib.cz/ke/ http://www.nti.tul.cz/wiki/Milan.Kerslager

Didn't pay off in the long run, > which I pointed out to my boss... ;-) Actually, I have one box attached to a BackUPS that is about 15 years old, and has never had a replacement battery. It holds the box through power variations, and can supply power for a couple of minutes - enough to allow a shutdown, since that box is never running unattended. I got it when we upgraded the company one - it was our (the company's) first, attached to the file-server, so replaced at a reasonable age. Anne

card reader issue
by Frank Cox 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I have never done anything with a card reader before so I have no idea what I'm doing here. I have a laptop with a card reader in it and when I put the card in I see this in /var/log/messages: Feb 5 13:28:58 localhost pcscd: winscard.c:304:SCardConnect() Reader E-Gate 0 0 Not Found This comes up many times in the log. I suspect that this means that I'm missing some package that I should have installed, but what is it? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com

udev by-id symlinks randomly missing for tape drives on centos5
by Pasi Kärkkäinen 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hello! I'm having problems with udev /dev/tape/by-id/ symlinks.. it seems symlinks to tape drives are sometimes (randomly) missing after reboot. Server in question has IBM TS3200 tape library connected with 2 drives in it.. so /proc/scsi/scsi shows 3 devices: 2 tape drives, and 1 medium changer (tape library). So I should have 3 symlinks in /dev/tape/by-id/ directory.. 2 symlinks to tape drives, and 1 symlink to mediumchanger/tapelibrary. Running 'udevtrigger' _sometimes_ creates the missing links, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes if all the symlinks are there to begin with, and you run 'udevtrigger', some of the tape drive symlinks might get removed too.. The symlink for the mediumchanger seems to be there always though.. Has anyone seen this behaviour? How to fix it? Whenever I run 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' I can see all of the devices listed there. IBM 'itdt' tape drive / tapelibrary diagnostic tool works OK too, and always shows all the devices. I don't have any errors in the dmesg/syslog, and the devices work OK if I use /dev/nst* (tape drives) or /dev/sg* (mediumchanger/tapelibrary) devicenames to access them. I'd like to be able to use /dev/tape/by-id/<foo> symlinks to make sure correct devices are accesssed. The server in question is running CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (with latest updates installed). Any thoughts? -- Pasi

Unable to find PD KSH version. Unable to locate all utilities with system path. The server is CENTOS 5.1 with almost all software installed. Can anone tell me: 1. where is PD? 2.
