Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-6.3 i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:10:09 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.3 i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4FFB48B1.8060901(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.3 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.3 are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.3 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.3 is based on the upstream release EL 6.3 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. All updates released since upstream 6.3 release are also released to the CentOS-6.3 mirrors. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-6.0 / 6.1 or 6.2 Unless you have edited your yum configs, a 'yum update' should move your machine seamlessly from any previous CentOS-6.x release to CentOS-6.3 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.3 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Usually its also the fastest means to download the distro. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/i386/CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD1to2.t… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1t… You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. We have also made efforts to try and ensure that most install types and roles can be run from DVD-1 itself. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.3 ISOS: i386: 541f98e36a7034ab3b470ddf5e2232df3829983e CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD1.iso 44d9e8652af683b844138ea2ea03e6772c18a613 CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD2.iso c596411085110dbb67fb030e667ae054afb413c8 CentOS-6.3-i386-minimal.iso 51dcbf68ddc0fc2907ecbba055bf041dc8ae7ca9 CentOS-6.3-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: eaa52f3d1ccf2df3b03e064fb0fa6168be28a4d4 CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 29eee5946372ed29de509b9604d895b99d36a33f CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 09801301433c8dc1a93d732790f9a4d8ca7895e6 CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.iso c85069ee289d6eb279ba1c1ab0c259513302b8fd CentOS-6.3-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are released to vault.centos.org. +++++++++++++++++++++++ LiveCD and LiveDVD We will be releasing the LiveCD and LiveDVD images in the next few days for both i386 and x86_64. +++++++++++++++++++++++ CentOS on PowerPC Work is under-way to bring CentOS-6 to the powerpc platform and we hope to have a Beta CentOS-6.3 release by the end of August. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Contributing and joining the project: We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute . If you have questions or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not covered on that page, feel free to drop in on #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org). +++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to everyone who contributed towards making CentOS 6.3, specially the effort put in, as always, by the QA team. A special shout out to all the donors who have contributed hardware, network connectivity, hosting and resources over the years. The CentOS project now has a fairly well setup resource pool, purely thanks to the donors.

CentOS 5.8 crash/freeze running VMware
by Michael Eager 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hi -- I have a server running CentOS 5.8. It has a 6-core AMD processor, 16Gb memory, and a RAID 5 file system. It serves as both a file server and to run several VMware virtual machines. The guest machines run Windows 7 and various versions of Linux. The system is running the latest version of VMware Workstation. Until recently, I started VMs using the VMware Workstation GUI. The system has been very stable and seldom crashes. Recently, I set up an init script to start several VMs at boot time using the vmrun command. This appeared to work correctly, but the system has become unstable, freezing at various times. When the system freezes, there is no console response and it does not respond to a ping. There is nothing in syslog to indicate any error. The script started 8 VMs. I've cut back to now running 4 VMs and the system appears stable. Is there some relation between the number of cores and the number of VMs one can run? Is there something else which might cause the system to crash when running multiple VMs? Any suggestions to identify why the system crashed? -- Michael Eager eager(a)eagercon.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077

run fsck manually
by Jerry Geis 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Is there a way in centos to just go ahead and do this automatically? /dev/sdal: Unexpected Inconsistency; [FAILED] Run fsck Manually (ie. Without –a or –p options) ***An error occurred during the File system check ***Dropping you to a shell; system will reboot when you leave the shell Give root password for Maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) I have some remote stations - and if something goes wrong as it did, I just want the fsck to be ran automatically and auto reboot Can the behaviour be changed in a config file?

[Clustering] No OCFS2 Clusters with Pacemaker/Corosync?
by Errol Neal 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hello Fellow CentOS users. I was hoping to get some information on Pacemaker clusters using OCFS2 on CentOS 6.x. In my initial attempts to get this to work, I realized that Pacemaker is packaged much differently on CentOS than it is on Debian or SUSE. For example, /usr/sbin/dlm_controld.pcmk is missing and ocfs2-tools is nowhere to be found. Users could of course pull in packages from say Oracle Enterprise Linux, but I was curious as to why this is the case? Is OCFS2 not supported on CentOS? Thanks for the insight.

tcptrack
by John Hinton 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Does anybody have a working version of tcptrack running on Centos 6 x64? The rpmforge rpm installs and runs on the -t eth# command, but if you add a port to it, it bombs with a pcap compile error. It runs fine for me on Centos 5 x64, but seems to have what looks like an old bug reintroduced in 6. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

QT menu decorations missing on Centos 6
by Frank Cox 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

See this screenshot for an example of what I get when I run qtconfig-qt4 on Centos 6 and select a menu: http://www.melvilletheatre.com/screenshot-qt-example.png If the list is long, the menu extends from the top to the bottom of my physical screen, with a little arrow at the top and the bottom which, if I sit the mouse pointer on the arrow, makes the list scroll up and down. As you can see, the decorations (scroll bar, etc) are missing. I don't think it's a configuration issue, but rather an issue of a missing library, or missing functionality in a library. The program appears to be trying to use a qt function that doesn't exist on this computer so it's doing some kind of a fallback to a bare-bones menu list. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!
