Re: [CentOS] Is Biarch with 6.x now dead?

unable to initialize epel6 chroot in centos 5.7
by Jason Wee 29 Dec '11

29 Dec '11

Greetings, I have a centos 5.7 (2.6.18-274.12.1.el5) server with mock (mock-1.0.25-1.el5) installed. When initialize epel-6 chroot in centos 5.7 it failed, below are the snippet of error in the terminal output, ... ... rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) is needed by mingetty-1.08-5.el6.x86_64 rpmlib(FileDigests) is needed by popt-1.13-7.el6.i686 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) is needed by popt-1.13-7.el6.i686 rpmlib(FileDigests) is needed by findutils-4.4.2-6.el6.x86_64 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) is needed by findutils-4.4.2-6.el6.x86_64 (1, [u'Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20…' ]) DEBUG: kill orphans [jason@example ~] $ I've tried clean and reinitialize the chroot but it failed. Google for this issue and mailing list only result in failed to build rpm in C5 from C6 (which is opposite of this). Has anyone successfully initialize or build srpm in C5 mock for C6 or is there a fix for this? Thank you. /Jason

NIS passwd and paswd.byname map encryption
by Boris Epstein 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hello listmates. It appears that in order to authenticate a Mac OS X Lion client via NIS the passwords in passwd and passwd.byname maps need to be MD5 encrypted. How do I see what encryption has been used in my maps? How do I change it? Thanks. Boris.

There will no longer be a separate e-mail for each ARCH within a major version, but only one combined e-mail for each major version. This will result in 1/2 the announce list traffic as there used to be a separate i386 and x86_64 for each major version ... or in today's case, there would be 6 e-mails and not 3. If you did not receive any of the 3 announce list e-mails today and you want to to get them, please check that you have the applicable "Topics" checked in your profile on the CentOS Announce list here: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce (the last option on the page is "unsubscribe or edit options" ... enter the e-mail address that you have subscribed to the list, login with your password and pick the "Topics" you are interested in. Most of the time, people do not go back and add new Major Versions ... like CentOS 6 ... and so they are not getting e-mails for the new releases) Also, be advised that a "Digested" version of all the announcements goes to the main CentOS list daily, so if you are a member of that list and if a daily digest of all announcements is good enough, then you do not even need to subscribe to the CentOS Announce List separately to be informed of updates. -- Johnny Hughes CentOS Project { http://www.centos.org/ } irc: hughesjr, #centos(a)irc.freenode.net

Is Biarch with 6.x now dead?
by Michael Lampe 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

I'm experimenting with 6.2 now. Things seem to be really great so far! Distribution closure is one of my favourite pets. So I tried to install everything. I found only one problem, but that's another (minor) thing. But I found almost nothing under /usr/lib. So, Biarch is really dead? Funny! A couple of years back, I finally opted for CentOS instead of Debian just because of Biarch ... I'm getting real old ... -Michael

Hyper V integration question
by Dvorkin, Asya 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Hello everyone, I have Hyper V integration working properly, but needed to do an update to 2.6.18-274.12.1.el5-x86_64. Since then, it no longer works. As discovered previously, one needs to rebuild Hyper V Integration tools due to the kernel panic. http://www.sudonym.com/398/kernel-panic-after-yum-update-centos-with-hyper-… Done. But I'm getting an error message: "Your system DOES NOT support the timesource driver" when running make. adjtimex is installed - adjtimex-1.20-2.1. Any ideas? I've successfully followed the same steps in the past, but right now they are just not working. Thank you! Asya

Plymouth "Failed to read image"
by 夜神　岩男 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

I'm trying to learn more about Plymouth, but am having trouble finding sufficient documentation on it. After a rebuild of Plymouth with a few theme changes, I am getting an error message on boot "Failed to read image" and then it gives me the grub screen to boot one of the three kernels installed. Boot works fine and I actually see the proper splash once I select a kernel. Changing themes works, etc. The single problem is that weird message about image read failure. So my question: Since Plymouth actually is working fine after the 5 second delay, just what image is it that can't be read? Is this a message about, say, the "background image" for the menu (the screen background *is* black, actually) or the "ramfs boot image" which apparently works just fine after a moment? Perhaps the error message is just confusing me. If it is just the background image, then what is not valid about the splash.xpm.gz now? I've reduced it to 14 indexed colors, 640x480 resolution (which I thought were the criteria?).

VMware tools not installing init.d script
by Brian McKerr 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Has anyone else seen this on Centos 6.x x64? Running vSphere 5.0 and I install tools from the VMware tar.gz file with ' vmware-install-tools.pl -d' it seems to do all the usual/right things. Once completed there is no 'vmware-tools' listed in 'chkconfig --list'. A reboot of the box leaves vmware tools not running. I have tried completely uninstalling tools and re-installing, not difference. Cheers.

gnome keyring
by Jerry Geis 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

I am having an issue I have not ran into before... I set my box to "auto" login by changing the file: more /etc/gdm/custom.conf # GDM configuration storage [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=silentm TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=silentm TimedLoginDelay=0 [security] [xdmcp] [greeter] [chooser] [debug] It does auto login - however then when I try to VNC into the box I get the message about the "gnome remote desktop enter password for default keyring to unlock". I do have a VNC password set. I did some searching but the things I found did not make a difference. Any thoughts? Jerry
