6.1 Update request
by Digimer 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Hi devs, If/when someone has a few minutes, could someone post an update on 6.1 on http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/blog ?. I suspect the devs have been busy with the just-released 5.7 version. :) -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer(a)alteeve.com Freenode handle: digimer Papers and Projects: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org "At what point did we forget that the Space Shuttle was, essentially, a program that strapped human beings to an explosion and tried to stab through the sky with fire and math?"

On http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR the link to a copy of 64 bit CR repo is not working. The link is: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/cr/x86_64/RPMS/centos-release-cr-5-6.el… and the error message is (obtained from trying two distinctly different IPs on two distinctively different ISP networks): "Not Found "The requested "URL /centos/5.6/cr/x86_64/RPMS/centos-release-cr-5-6.el5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm was not found on this server.

proverbial floodgates thrown wide open for centos-announce list
by Jon Detert 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Starting maybe ~ 12 hours ago, the proverbial floodgates were thrown open on emails sent to the CentOS-announce mailing list for CentOS 5.x, all on account of individual package releases. RedHat have not done the same. What's up? Are these mistakenly released re-announcements of (previously released) package updates? Or, did the mailman server have a burp or hiccup? Or, have the CentOS dev team been waiting for high tide before opening the flood gates? If so, why?, and how about sending the mother-load of announcements as 1 email instead of 1/package, which would: a) match the reality of the updates being released as a batch, and b) keep my inbox from being flooded. Yes, i could switch my mailman subscription to 'digest' mode, and probably will. Still, I'm wondering why they were batch-released? Regards, Jon

Centos6: how to debug suspend?
by Theo Band 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

I have a desktop installation with Centos 6. A lot works fine, but suspend to ram or disk does not work from the KDE menu. If I choose suspend to RAM, the screen goes dark (black-light on) but nothing further happens. I can give my password to remove the screenlock and continue. But the machine stays on. Obviously the suspend has failed. If I use pm-suspend (as root) all works fine. I've looked in /var/log/messages but there is no hint there. The question is thus, how can I debug this? Could it be a permission issue? Do I need to add myself to a specific group? Thanks, Theo

Bad update man-1.6d-2.el5.i386?
by Leonard den Ottolander 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hi, I noticed the man update for my CentOS-5 kept popping up a couple of times, so instead of using yum-updatesd from the desktop I tried doing a yum update by hand. The update fails, even after removing the package from the cache: Error unpacking rpm package man-1.6d-2.el5.i386 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/locale/bg/man: cpio: rename Failed: man.i386 0:1.6d-2.el5 Is this a metadata issue with my cache or is that update bad? Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research

Safely Remove Disk on LVM
by Muhammad Panji 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Dear All, I plan to replace an error disk that is part of an LV. from LVM how-to it could be done with using pvmove to move all PE from old disk to new disk.But the howto also said that pvmove is slow. Anyone has experience using pvmove on 2TB disk? Is it possible to make all PE on the old disk empty so I don't have to do pvmove (assuming that I can make a free space >= 2TB). Thank you in advance Regards, -- ----- Muhammad Panji
