Problem updating VM
by Chris Geldenhuis 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi, I am trying to bring one of my CentOS 5 VMs up to date. I have run: yum clean all yum update yum yum clean all yum update python* rpm* yum clean all without any problems or error messages. Now when I try to run yum update, I get the following: [root@tusker ~]# yum update There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named cElementTree Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:37) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq I then downloaded the python-clementtree package from dags site and tried to install it and get: [root@tusker ~]# rpm -i ./python-celementtree-1.0.5-1.2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm warning: ./python-celementtree-1.0.5-1.2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6 error: Failed dependencies: python-elementtree conflicts with python-celementtree-1.0.5-1.2.el5.rf.x86_64 yet when I query the package I get: [root@tusker ~]# rpm -q python-celementtree-1.0.5-1.2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm package python-celementtree-1.0.5-1.2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm is not installed and when I try to remove it I get: [root@tusker ~]# rpm -e ./python-celementtree-1.0.5-1.2.el5.rf.i386.rpm error: package ./python-celementtree-1.0.5-1.2.el5.rf.i386.rpm is not installed I have tried rebuilding the rpm database with no result. Any suggestions? TIA ChrisG

Chaps, Is cobbler overkill or is it simpler to set up a local repo and rsync it with a mirror? -- John Maclean 07739 171 531 MSc (DIC) Enterprise Linux Systems Engineer

replacement for start-stop-daemon on CentOS
by Timothy Kesten 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Hi Folks, I'd like to use "start-stop-daemon" on my centos-machine. I know , it's debian-like. But I can't find "startproc" on my machine nor in the repos. What is the CentOS-replacement for "start-stop-daemon"? Thx Timothy P.S. I found a start-stop-daemon.c script - but how to compile it? gcc start-stop-daemon.c ends in much errors.

NFS freeze when transmitting big files
by Niki Kovacs 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Hi, I have one old spare PC, a PIII with 128 MB RAM, that I use as a spare file server. I have a headless CentOS 5 install on it, and a 2 terabyte external USB harddisk. The machine is in my basement (because it's quite loud), and I'm using what's called "CPL" here (Courant Porteur), which is basically Ethernet over 220V power lines. It's much slower than normally cabled Ethernet, but it works OK. I setup an NFS server on this machine, with the big 2TB storage on the external disk. On the first floor, on my main PC, I setup a consistent mounting of the NFS shares in /etc/fstab, and it works. Now here's the problem. Some of the files are quite big, usually movie files that can make up to 4 GB. More often than not, when I cut/paste such a file from my local harddisk to the server, it's quite slow (understandably, due to the slow CPL connection), but then the operation freezes in the middle, the cursor is unresponsive, even [Ctrl+Alt+Backspace] doesn't work, and I have to do a hard reboot. Now I wonder what this phenomenon can be due to. Some strange bottleneck effect due to either lack of RAM to the server or the slow network or both? Any ideas? Niki

partition woes (mapper/isw_bdihgcgahe_Volume0p2)
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Hi, I found 2 identical drives lying around and put them into a system. When booting from a Centos 5.x installer, and when being presented with the formatting option (disk druid), it says I have 1 volume of; mamapper/isw_bdihgcgahe_Volume0p2 I can't seem to get rid of it. I have 2 physical disks but disk druid is seeing 1 volume thats the same size as one of the 2 identical drives. I've tried everything from yanking the 2nd drive, installing Centos with 1 drive, then installing the second drive and doing; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb ... to even installing diff OS's like Ubuntu and Windows which see 2 individual disks where I repartition/reformat the drives. Seems as though I can't truly re write a part of the master boot record or some other area. I'm pretty feeble with this crap so can any one help me get a clue on what to do? These drives may have been in some hard ware raided system of the past, am unsure and no one here knows. This is really driving me crazy!!!!! - aurf
