kernel-debuginfo
by Tair Sabirgaliev 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi! I'm trying systemtap on CentOS 6.2 kernel-2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64. My problem is that I can't find kernel-debuginfo... corresponding to my kernel version. The systemtap docs suggest rebuilding the kernel from sources, but it looks like I will have to install my own kernel, which is not acceptable on the production machine. Where can I find the debuginfo for the latest CentOS kernel? Thanks! -- Tair Sabirgaliev "BEE Software" Ltd.

kmod-nvidia?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

I just went to install kmod-nvidia on a 64-bit CentOS 6.2 system... and enabling elrepo, yum can't find it. There's a page for it, but that was last updated last year, and there are also references to packages for older Nvidia cards, but not the current. What do I not know? mark

CentOS 6.3 on ASUS G73S does not work external video
by Rob Kampen 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi List, just wondering which driver I need to be looking at / for that deals with the laptop's external video connector. Background - went to deliver a presentation last week and found that there was no way to get any video output to the external D-15 connector (hooked up to a video projector). Eventually I re-booted to windoze 7 and all worked just fine - major embarrassment after telling everyone how great Linux was. The laptop has a nvidia GTX 460M card and I use the el-repo kmod-nvidia-295.59-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 and nvidia-x11-drv-295.59-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 I do have compiz-0.8.2-24.el6.x86_64 and compiz-gnome-0.8.2-24.el6.x86_64 running but as these should not be dealing directly with the hardware am not thinking they should matter. Not sure where to start trouble shooting - I tried lots of different screen resolutions via the System > Preferences > Display but no joy getting any signal out to the external connector. This laptop does have an hdmi socket but I was not using that, I thought the good old fashioned D-15 video plug should "just work" (tm). The function key <Fn> <F8> did toggle the laptop screen off and on and varied the resolution of the laptop display but never any output on the external connector. I booted the laptop with the display not connected and then tried connecting it - no joy. Then rebooted with it connected and tried power on and off two times but never any signal on the external connector simply booting into w7 and it immediately worked Any ideas of what magic foo I need to get this working would be appreciated. TIA Rob

centos 4.9 + ip6tables
by Paul A 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi I have an old server running centos 4.9 and recently I added ipv6 connectivity to it, however I wanted to use iptables to restrict access like im doing over ipv4. I tried using yum to install ip6tables but that's not available on the repo. I'm trying to figure out what my options are, how do you guys recommend I go about installing ip6tables. I guess I could upgrade the server from 4.9 to 5.x but I heard this could cause issues with things already installed and I have never done an upgrade like this. This is a server running chroot bind compiled manually. My other option is to use an ACL on the router the server connects to but I really wanted to get ip6tables on there. Paul

SELinux : please explain ...
by Philippe Naudin 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello, This is somehow off-topic, since the problem appears on a modified CentOS-6.2 (turned into a xen-4.1 host) : I get SELinux errors, and I'm not able to understand them. From audit2why : type=AVC msg=audit(1343724164.898:298772): avc: denied { mac_admin } for pid=12399 comm="restore" capability=33 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability2 ... and from audit2allow : #============= unconfined_t ============== allow unconfined_t self:capability2 mac_admin; I don't know what triggers these records in /var/log/audit (everything seems to work). Running retorecon -rv / doesn't produce any error. Can someone tell me what is the mac_admin functionnality, and if it is safe to allow it ? If I understand correctly what I have found by googling around, it is not advised. Thanks, -- Philippe Naudin

Enabling SELinux on 5.8 32bit
by Keith Roberts 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

If I change SELinux from disabled to enabled (or permissive first) will it take long to rebuild the SEL labels on about 250GB file system?

I use tar and ttcp for an initial transfer: On the receiving end: ttcp -l5120 -r | tar xf - On the transmitter: tar cf - . | ttcp -l5120 -t name-of-receiver Note: The files are transmitted without encryption. I easily get 110 Mbytes/sec. on a gigabit connection. If you need encryption, and your transfer is CPU limited, you should investigate which cipher to use. In my case arcfour128 is the fastest, so I use: rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -c arcfour128' ... after the initial transfer with ttcp.

The other question: What should I set on the cisco switch for the Port-channel options? As far as I understand for performance and redundancy I will use LACP and balance-alb. The switches are 6500 VSS so they should act as "one physical device" as required by LACP. thanks for any suggestion and comments .

If you had a DB9 serial port I'd say you'll really want a null modem cable to interface with the device (but it doesn't) - hopefully you know or have the cable necessary to talk to it via the RJ-45 console. You may consider using CentOS 5 for the reason below. Does your appliance's CPU support PAE? Starting with CentOS 6, the i686 kernels have PAE enabled. If you need one without PAE you'll have to compile it yourself. Not a huge deal, but certainly not as simple. Your best bet in any instance (CentOS 5 or 6) is to build the OS on another piece of hardware or a VM and copy it over to your CF card. There are a few items you'll want to do to reduce writes to your CF card and tune it for the embedded hardware [0]. Hope this helps!
