by Fawzy Ibrhim 06 Nov '11

Yes; it was an issue with Linux kernel 2.6.18-274.*.el5.centos.plus ; so I switched back to Linux kernel 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5.centos.plus and it's working now.

I did look at alfresco but, like moodle, it has way more going on then I need.

[YUM] - Issue on package removal order on CentOS 5
by Olivier BONHOMME 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hello, I post here because I have an embarassing issue considering the yum version provided with CentOS 5. I am trying to package an application for CentOS. So I wrote my own specfile which is composed of declaration of various packages (main application and plugins for this applications). In that the configuration, the plugins RPM depends on the main application RPM because. Moreover, in all %postun blocks I execute a script which is provided my the main app RPM. My issue is that when I try to remove the packages with the yum remove command, the main app RPM is erased before the plugin RPM and in that case the postun scriptlets for the plugin fails because my script is not available anymore. As I read on the RPM and YUM doc, I used in the SPEC file the following instructions : Requires(post): mainapp >= %{version} Requires(postun): mainapp >= %{version} But even with this declaration, yum removes the RPM in bad order : Erasing : mainapp 1/2 Erasing : mainapp-plugin 2/2 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.48257: line 1: /usr/sbin/mainapp-setup: No such file or directory As a note, I say that I use a unique specfile for all my application. So is there a bug with yum or do I something wrong ? For now, I use an ugly workaround which tests the availability of the script in the postun block but I don't like it. Thanks in advance for your answers. Regards, Olivier BONHOMME

Thanks for all of your thoughts. I will look into gollem. The clients at school are windows 7. At home the clients might be any number of OS's. Eventually we might be using some sort of tablet devise probably Android based. Have any of you used Gollem? On Nov 5, 2011 8:16 PM, "Barry Brimer" <lists(a)brimer.org> wrote:

Centos Firewall - router with virtual IP
by Fajar Priyanto 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hi all, I haven't found anything in Google about this. I'm creating a firewall router with Centos with few virtual IP using iptables. May I ask for your experience? Is there any pitfall or bad side of using virtual IP for this purpose? I'm using few virtual IP to accommodate few subnets that go through this firewall/router. Thank you. Fajar.

Odd ethernet interface
by Mufit Eribol 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Hello, I have a CentOS 6 VM on a CentOS 6 host. This VM has two ethernet interfaces, eth0 and eth1. It was working nice. All of a sudden eth1 stopped working as expected. Kernel started to give the message below: kernel: udev: renamed network interface eth2 to eth2-eth1 There is no any eth2 or eth2-eth1 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. I really don't know where it is coming from. config -a: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:E0:5A:C5 inet addr:10.0.0.32 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:8293 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6440 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:831687 (812.1 KiB) TX bytes:6358220 (6.0 MiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:B5:B6:D1 inet addr:192.168.2.2 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:934 (934.0 b) TX bytes:462 (462.0 b) eth2-eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:B5:B6:D1 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3642 (3.5 KiB) TX bytes:3642 (3.5 KiB) And below is /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules: # net device () (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="52:54:00:e0:5a:c5", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" # net device () SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="52:54:00:b5:b6:d1", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" Here is the relevant excerpt from the xml on the host: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:e0:5a:c5'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:b5:b6:d1'/> <source bridge='br1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </interface> I really don't understand what is really going on.

CentOS 6 updating policy
by David McGiven 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

I am migrating from debian to RHEL (CentOS) and I am wondering how the CentOS 6 updating system works. Suppose I install CentOS 6.1 now. Suppose in 8 months CentOS 6.2 is released. Now I issue a yum update, so my system will be updated to CentOS 6.2, or I will have an updated 6.1 ? What if I have been issuing yum update very day just to be sure there are no packages with urgent security bugs ? I am having a very updated 6.1 or an almost 6.2 ? Or are they the same thing ? I think that during this time I should be using Continous Release repository, right ? Also, which is the policy regarding new versions of software, kernel and libs ? The bugfixes will be backported or there will be major differences between, let’s say, 6.1 and 6.4 ? I couldn’t find all of these question properly answered in the FAQs Thanks in advance. Regards, David
