Update Issue

I seem to be able to get all of the 5.x update except for the kernel. Each attempt results in this... (1/1): kernel-2.6.18-128. 100% |=========================| 15 MB 00:16 http://centos.mirror.nac.net/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el…: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download Trying other mirror. http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.e…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://mirror.newnanutilities.org/pub/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/pub/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-128.…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://mirror.stanford.edu/yum/pub/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror.

I've tried at different times from different machines and it seems that all other files are being downloaded just fine. Thanks Centos team! John Hinton

by rock 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, With the 5.3 CDS I started an install got through to 98% of CD 3 but I was called away. Came back this morning and the box was on, but had frozen.. Every time I reboot, cold boot, I come up with black screen.. Vers 0.97 <grub> Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. TAB etc.. Is there a way I can get to CD 4 and continue the install, or am I back to the top again?? Thanks rock

Can't install domUs in 5.3 dom0
by Tomasz Nowak 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hello. I can't install 5.3 domUs in 5.3 dom0 with the very same /etc/xen/domU.cfg and remote domU.ks that I've used in Centos 5.1. The only I've changed is Centos version (including new 5.3 xen kernel and initrd images). Results are that anaconda can't assing networki configuration to network interface (probably because of not seeing it) and such error messages in xend.log: [2009-04-04 12:45:42 xend 2999] DEBUG (blkif:27) exception looking up device number for xvda: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/xvda' Is there any way to fix this or shell I roll back to 5.1? -- Tomek

5.3 upgrade - fuse and ipw3945 unistall
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Fortunately I was starring at the screen during an upgrade and 'caught' the following set of messages. It is hard to remember what I installed fuse for, I think for webdav. My system has a ipw3945 pci card, wireless is working. Here are the messages: Uninstalling: fuse 2.7.4-1.nodist.rf (2.6.18-92.1.17.el5) (i686) -------- Uninstall Beginning -------- Module: fuse Version: 2.7.4-1.nodist.rf Kernel: 2.6.18-92.1.17.el5 (i686) ------------------------------------- Status: Before uninstall, this module version was ACTIVE on this kernel.

Centos Forum is down??
by rock 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hi, I have joined the Centos forum a few days ago and still do not have my activation email. My user name and email address is in there but I cannot do anything until I activate. I have left a message with the webmaster and I have requested a lost password, but get nothing. I have checked all my email filters, spam boxes etc., and yet nothing. I am getting up to 100 emails a day at that address. Any ideas how I can get this up? Many thanks. oz :-)

Shadow passwords NOT md5'ed ?
by Frédérique Da Luene 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hello, I have a very weird problem on a CentOS 5.2 system. A few months ago, encrypted passwords in the shadow file were MD5'ed - allowing for long passwords, rather than only 8 characters max. Today, passwords are 3DES'ed only. No way to find how the system reverted to DES-encrypting. But what's more bothersome is we cannot get the system to go the MD5 way again, despite all our best efforts. Authconfig says this : pam_unix is always enabled shadow passwords are enabled password hashing algorithm is md5 So... where to look ? Tia, -- FdL

X session lockup (CentOS 4.7)
by Bart Schaefer 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

I just had a very odd incident with my session locking up, so I thought I'd describe it to see if it rings any bells with anyone. Background: I shut down my machine last night for Earth Hour, so the last thing I did before logging out was exit Firefox3, telling it to save my open tab state. When I turned the system back on and started FF3 again, it installed new versions of three plugins (I believe NoScript and Elasticfox but I don't recall the third) and then restored the session as expected. Not related to FF, but I also started up the "filelight" filesystem visualization app, which I don't normally have running, and it was still up on a different desktop while all the following was happening. This morning I opened a new FF3 window to browse CNN. I opened tabs on five or six stories from the front page and then went to read through them, closing each tab as I finished each story. (There were six other tabs open in the first FF window, so no more than 12-14 tabs in two windows total.) After closing the second such tab FF began responding very slowly, even to simply scrolling the window, and eventually stopped responding entirely (wouldn't even redraw when I dragged windows around). I popped up an xterm and ran "strace" on FF to see if I could find the problem, and lo and behold as long as strace was running FF recovered and responded fine, but when I stopped tracing it froze again. Unfortunately I lost the trace output because of what happened next, but I do recall that it was accessing /etc/localtime repeatedly and very frequently. I left strace running and went back to FF, hoping to see the tail of the trace at the moment FF locked up again. However, the next time FF appeared to be frozen I found that not just FF but the entire Gnome session was stuck. I was able to move the mouse and to Alt-F2 into a text console window, but nothing else responded. I went back and forth a few times between the text console and the X console attempting to diagnose (including killing the strace and sending a CONT signal to FF, because "ps" said FF was in stopped ("T") state), but after a few passes at that even Alt-F2 stopped working. Fortunately I have another computer here, so I ssh'd in and ran "killall -1 firefox-bin". This woke things up to the point that one of the pending Alt-F2 keystrokes was seen and the text console came up, but although I could then switch consoles again, nothing else in the X session was responding. I finally HUP'd gnome-session (which stopped everything else; I checked "ps" to make sure nothing that had been associated with that session was still running) and I have now logged in again and everything seems fine. FF restarted and restored the session from the time I killed it, and an strace of it now doesn't show any accesses to /etc/localtime at all. I find this all especially strange because the whole system had been restarted less than 12 hours before.

Update
by jarmo 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

I found reason, why update wont go. I have installed much newer glibc, than what comes with 5.3. I needed that, because of couple radioamateur progs. Now have to think, how do I downgrade glibc. If I try remove, there's over 600 pagages, which have to remove and that's not good. Hmm... Jarmo
