[C6] Some typical apps missing?
by Marko Vojinovic 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hi everyone! :-) I just installed CentOS 6 on one of my desktop machines, and yum now tells me that some of my favorite apps are not present in any of the repositories I configured. To name a few: ktorrent, kile, krusader, pavucontrol, mplayerplug-in (or is it now gecko-mediaplayer), xine, xmms, and so on... All these apps were readily available for C5, and I used them happily. I am mostly surprised with the absence of *any* torrent client, bar the rtorrent (which doesn't have a man page and I have no idea how to use it). Also kile, krusader and pavucontrol are quite basic and common apps... The configured repositories are: base, updates, extras, rpmforge, elrepo, as reported by yum. What am I missing? I would also be grateful if anyone has a suggestion for a reasonable (and available) substitute for any of these apps. I usually prefer KDE4 apps, but will use anything that works. I found some (rtorrent, mozilla-vlc, gnome-volume-control), but I am not exactly thrilled with their quality, so I'm hoping someone has a better suggestion. Google didn't want to be my friend this time, all hits were related to C5... ;-) TIA, :-) Marko

BIND and a second server resolving itself
by Bob Hoffman 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

I am installing my second server in the datacenter but having problems getting to the net with it. I am going to use it as a KVMvirt host and do not want to run bind on its base OS. My thought was to just refer to it in the bind zones as an additional record (main.example.com is the working server now, main2.example.com is the new one). I cannot get the new one to reach out to the net, is there something I have to do on the new server to make it resolve correctly (I have listed my nameservers and hosts file and all that)? I think I have to allow my original server, the one hosting the nameservers, to allow the new server access to query, is that right? or do I just need to add the IN A record with the ip, main2.example.com. IN A xxx.x..x...x..? this is the first time I ever went with two servers and a bit confused as to proper resolution on the second server without having bind on it... any help appreciated. happy friday all

CentOS 6.x cr repo
by Janne TH. Nyman 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Team CentOS, Just writing to thank you a lot for the CentOS 6.1 packages made available on the 26th of September. I haven't gone through what updates exactly you guys released in the cr repository but I am well impressed with the improvements. Great timing as my RHEL self-support contract was due for renewal and I am so pleased with the refreshed packages, it now works on my ThinkPad X220, that I won't renew my RHEL subscription. Awesome work guys and thanks a million. :) CentOS Rocks. Ps. I found the CR repo information here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-September/018078.html Janne Nyman AKA JNixus E: jnyman(a)jbtec.org

Migrating CentOS 5 -> 6: where to put /etc/inittab respawn scripts?
by Alexander Farber 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hello, sorry, for 1 more question on CentOS 5 -> CentOS 6 migration. On my old CentOS 5.7 machine I have the following line: pref:3:respawn:/bin/su -c '/usr/local/pref/pref.pl >/tmp/pref-`date +%a`.txt 2>&1' afarber and this has served me well, I don't want to install anything else like daemontools etc. - to keep my web-server easily reinstallable (or movable to another hoster). But now I have migrated to CentOS 6.0, added that line and the "init q", but nothing happens - as indeed promised by the comments in the new /etc/inittab. Where should I move my line, which docs to read? The pref.pl is a poll()ing TCP-sockets daemon for a game Thank you Alex

I hadn't mention that I messed up the bridge setup. I didn't think that could lock up the host machine, but it did. Once I had the bridge fixed, the crashing stopped and network has been working on the guest. So it was my bad there. I thought that an incorrect network config would only affect networking, but it was causing a kernel panic.

CentOS 6 and Pyzor
by John Hinton 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Had anybody been successful in getting Pyzor to run on CentOS 6 64bit? I have it running fine on CentOS 6 32 bit, and I 'think' I did identical installs. But, from the command line I keep getting Oct 6 13:36:00.659 [16065] dbg: pyzor: network tests on, attempting Pyzor Oct 6 13:36:06.205 [16065] dbg: pyzor: pyzor is available: /usr/bin/pyzor Oct 6 13:36:06.206 [16065] dbg: pyzor: opening pipe: /usr/bin/pyzor check < /tmp/.spamassassin160655GZkVEtmp Oct 6 13:36:06.281 [16065] dbg: pyzor: [16168] finished: exit 1 Oct 6 13:36:06.282 [16065] dbg: pyzor: check failed: no response And, yes the firewall port is open and I can ping pyzor. Been Googling this for hours now.... lots of returns without any helpful info. And 'odd' that it is running fine on 32 bit. And of course, the 32 bit install is for internal use while the 64 bit system needs to go live to the public really fast! -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

Permission question
by Victor Padro 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hello, We own a CentOS Server which hosts a few domains using Cpanel, however each host or domain has its own user and its own folder under /home, we want a separate user(newuser1) to have read and write privileges in all home's subdirectories so we can do some tasks remotely using WinSCP, that user is already in the sudoers group and the root login is disabled in SSH for security, but I haven't been able to assign the correct privileges and rights to newuser1 using chmod -R owneruser:newuser1 /home/owneruserdir, everytime we login with newuser1 using WinSCP to /home and try to change directory to /home/owneruserdir we receive a permission denied message, so I don't know where else to look. Any pointers will be apreciated. Thanks. -- "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves"
