copy/paste centos 6
by Jerry Geis 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

I had to update all these packages on CentOS 6 for a project. Everything works great on CentOS 6 - except - Copy/Paste between applications. Anyone - know which application below might control that function? Example I cannot have firefox running and copy and paste text into thunderbird. Both applications - actually all applications work - I just cant copy/paste. I'm thinking I did not correctly compile one of the applications below - or did not satisfy a dependency. I am just trying to narrow it down. Any one have insight into this?

slowness with new kernel+nouveau?
by Darod Zyree 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello, New kernel version 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 in combination with xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Version:0.0.16 is somehow painfully slow on my laptop. during start up it takes almost half a minute for gnome login to appear. After having logged in the following happens: - gnome top and bottom panels "slide/crawl" in to view one pixel line at a time. - starting the terminal takes much more time, 10-15, sometimes even up to 20 seconds. - Firefox also takes much longer to start. Removing xorg-x11-drv-nouveau seems to resolve this "slowness" but then my attached monitor does not work. Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix/troubleshoot? -- Regards, Darod Zyree

samba problem with kernel 2.6.32-279.*
by Mogens Kjaer 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello, We use Norton Ghost, running in a PXE booted DOS, to handle Windows XP images. The images are stored on a samba share on our CentOS 6 server. This has worked without any problems for years. After kernel 2.6.32-279* it has stopped working. The symptom is that if I boot in DOS, and do: net use x: \\myserver\ghostimages dir x: I get an infinite loop where the first file name is listed again and again. Going back to kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1 on the server fixes the problem. The problem exist with kernel-2.6.32-279, kernel-2.6.32-279.2.1, and kernel-2.6.32-279.5.1. Samba is version samba-3.5.10-125, the server is x86_64. Where should I look for a solution to that problem on the newer kernels? Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, mk(a)lemo.dk http://www.lemo.dk

Extract lines from text file
by Tony Molloy 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, I'm looking for a command to extract lines from a large text file, a password file. A typical user has a username made from a letter followed by their id-number. m9718508:pw:9301:840: Lynch :/home/pgstud/m9718508:/bin/bash So for instance if I need to extract lines where; the 1st field, the username begins with an m and the 4th field, the group contains exactly 850 cat passwdfile | grep ^m | grep 850 > output is close but fails if the value 850 appears outside the 4th field. In the above example which should be ignored 850 appears in the username and home directory and is therefore extracted. Any ideas. Thanks, Tony

IPv6 on Centos 6

We've been running ipv6 for a year or so now, but some of our newer instances (all on an ESX cluster) are not working. It looks like it's all of our Centos 6 instances. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction... tshark indicates that it's neighbor discovery that's failing: <centos666.peak.org> [26] # cat ../network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=centos666.peak.org GATEWAY=207.55.16.1 NETWORKING_IPV6=yes IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL=no IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2607:f678::1 <centos666.peak.org> [27] # cat ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0" NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONBOOT="yes" TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=207.55.16.66 PREFIX=22 GATEWAY=207.55.16.1 DNS1=69.59.192.71 DNS2=69.59.192.72 DOMAIN=peak.org DEFROUTE=yes IPV6INIT=yes NAME="System eth0" IPV6_AUTOCONF=no IPV6ADDR=2607:f678::16:66/64 IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes <centos666.peak.org> [28] # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:98:70:8B inet addr:207.55.16.66 Bcast:207.55.19.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:fe98:708b/64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: 2607:f678::16:66/64 Scope:Global UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1862 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:266 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:136703 (133.4 KiB) TX bytes:33944 (33.1 KiB) ipv6 is working locally: <centos666.peak.org> [29] # ping6 2607:f678::16:66 PING 2607:f678::16:66(2607:f678::16:66) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2607:f678::16:66: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms 64 bytes from 2607:f678::16:66: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms ^C --- 2607:f678::16:66 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1870ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.038/0.039/0.040/0.001 ms but not on the lan: <centos666.peak.org> [5] # ping6 2607:f678::1 PING 2607:f678::1(2607:f678::1) 56 data bytes >From 2607:f678::16:66 icmp_seq=2 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable >From 2607:f678::16:66 icmp_seq=3 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable >From 2607:f678::16:66 icmp_seq=4 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable >From 2607:f678::16:66 icmp_seq=6 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable >From 2607:f678::16:66 icmp_seq=7 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable >From 2607:f678::16:66 icmp_seq=8 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable ^C --- 2607:f678::1 ping statistics --- 8 packets transmitted, 0 received, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 7892ms tshark for that ping: <centos666.peak.org> [38] # tshark -n -i eth0 ip6 Running as user "root" and group "root".

Strange issue with system time being off
by Russell Jones 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi all, I am having an issue with some older CentOS 5.3 servers. Every time the server boots, it gives the error "Cannot access the hardware clock by any known method", and then promptly sets the time 5 hours behind the hardware clock, down to the second. After the system is up. "hwclock" works fine. hwclock --debug does not show any error at all. The hardware clock is configured in local time. /etc/sysconfig/clock is set to UTC=false and ZONE="America/Chicago". /etc/localtime is a copy of Chicago's zone file. /etc/adjtime is configured with "LOCAL" as the third row. I am at a loss as to what is causing this. Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

how best to rollback from a yum update?
by Jon Detert 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Suppose I want to upgrade a bunch of packages on a system, but in case the upgrade produces unexpected, undesired results, I want to be able to rollback the system to its original state. What is the best way to do that? Often, I won't have, or be able to find, packages for the current installed versions. I.e. If I haven't upgraded postgres for 2 years, it may be that I can no longer find a package for the version I am currently running. The 'rollback' feature of rpm and yum [1] looks promising, but I have a few concerns with it: a) why isn't the --rolback switch described in either the man page for rpm or the output from --help? This makes me think the --rollback switch is deprecated or otherwise unofficial. b) how can I trim/purge the 'repackaged' rpms that by default go in /var/spool/repackage [2]? I don't want to just leave them there forever, but if I trim/purge/delete them, how will the rpm database be updated to know that it can no longer rollback to the date that they were installed?
