anyone else having flash trouble?
by fred smith 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

On my centos 5.7 system, using Firefox 10.1, suddenly flash videos have stopped working, like, today. they worked yesterday. Now all I get is an error message that the flash plugin has crashed, reload page and try again. strangely, my centos-6 machine using the same firefox and the same flash plugin works fine.

LDAP encryption, not sure.
by Fajar Priyanto 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi all, I'm setting up a local LDAP server with a pass-through authentication to another LDAP. I'm not clear about the encryption. Say the case is like this. CompB is set to have LDAP authentication. A ---> SSH ---> CompB ---> Local LDAP:389 ---> SASLAUTHD --> Global LDAP: 636 1. Password on the SSH session would be encrypted, isn't it? 2. How about when it goes to the local LDAP:389, would it be encrypted? Thank you. Fajar.

question on unused directories in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64
by Craig Thompson 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I was working on archiving an old virtual server today and was reminded of how much space is wasted by some of the default installations on CentOS. I think this was a 5.x box. Anyway, in /usr/lib/64 (and probably /usr/lib on non-64 systems), there were a lot of directories which have no bearing on a basic server. I saw firefox, openoffice and many, many other directories -- replete with enough files to seriously affect backup space over time. Does anyone have an available script or list of commands for removing most or all of these "generally unused" directories, packages or whatever they are? I found something a while back for shutting off unused services, but this seems to be a gaping hole in available archives. Thanks. CT

OT: Anyone out there using Openfreezer?
by Alan McKay 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

If so, could I ask you a few questions? I am in contact with their tech support as well but I think someone here could be more helpful if they are using it. My questions are technically OT for this list since it pertains to moving from RHEL 5.7 to Ubuntu 11.11 Though it is really about Python / Apache config. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Centos 5.7--desktop icons are now a blank sheet of paper with the .desktop filename and they don't work
by fred smith 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Just rebooted my box (switched keyboards, and since it's a PS/2 keyboard, it needs to be done at poweroff) and when it came back up, (almost) all the desktop icons I've created (as distinct from the ones that came with the system) now don't display correctly. Instead of the graphic assigned to each, it's just a picture of a blank sheet of paper with the corner folded over, and the icon text is the name of the .desktop file that defines the particular item. worse, when I click one, they don't work... I get a popup window containing this text (when attempting to fire up a local rebuild of Audacity, or the appropriate name when attempting to use one of the other ones): The filename "Audacity (local build).desktop" indicates that this file is of type "desktop document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "desktop configuration file". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "desktop configuration file", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file. I don't really know what settings could have changed, but the ownership and permissions look reasonable to me: the files in my ~/Desktop folder look like this: $ ls -l total 88 -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 305 Jul 9 16:15 Audacity (local build).desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 859 May 22 16:24 bar-008d741c23.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 376 Nov 11 09:16 Firefox-4.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 311 Nov 10 14:00 fred's desktop on cibf-fred1pc.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 442 May 27 19:53 gegl-00efc0b78f.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 fredex fredex 981 Oct 30 2009 greasy-00f830171b.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 288 Jun 25 2010 Osmos.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 369 Jul 10 23:14 Pysol-FC.desktop -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 378 Feb 22 2011 quadra.desktop drwxrwxr-x 2 fredex fredex 4096 Jan 27 2011 radio stations -rw-rw-r-- 1 fredex fredex 359 May 24 21:14 razorsql.desktop and the Desktop folder's permissions are: $ ls -ld Desktop drwxr-xr-x 3 fredex fredex 4096 Oct 25 15:03 Desktop note that the Desktop folder contains a subdirectory named "radio stations", and that its representation on the desktop looks correct. but when I click on it to open up that folder, all its contents are also broken in the same way.

corrupted /etc/mtab
by Dvorkin, Asya 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hello everyone, It seems like we have a corrupted /etc/mtab file and I just wanted to check that my plan of action is correct. df -k returns: df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory ls -la mtab: ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? mtab messages full of errors: EXT3-fs error (device cciss/c0d2p1): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 847444 in dir #846977 I would like to fsck / partition, but, obviously, can't do it on a live system. The plan is to touch /forcefsck and to force fsck during reboot. Please let me know if you see a problem with my plan or have any other suggestions. Thank you, Asya

bug in repo affecting perl
by Blake Hudson 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I seem to running into the following bug when attempting to perform a yum update: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5322 I have been skipping perl to move on. However, I am unable to update perl to the latest i386 release due to what appears to be a mistake in the centOS repo. The CentOS mirrors have the following: http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.i38… http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.x… http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/updates/i386/RPMS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_7.6.… http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_7.… *http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.i386.rpm* ??? When I run a "yum list perl" or "yum update perl.i386" all I see is 5.8.8-32.el5_6.3 in the extras repo. It seems like this file shouldn't even exist. If I disable the repo my yum finds nothing for the i386 release of perl, even though the RPM is present in the updates directory. Could a maintainer of the repository please put some emphasis on this 2 month old bug? Thanks, --Blake
