Spamassassin for Centos 6.3
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

In http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd there is a recommendation to NOT use the version that comes with Centos 6.3, but to get the more current version from RPMForge. Is this the 'correct' thing to do on a Centos-based mail server?

Anybody running cadence on CentOS 6 ?
by Roberto Nunnari 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi all. So.. as the problem with the video driver and CentOS 5 seems to be hard to solve, I'll try to migrate to CentOS 6. I'd like to ask if anybody is successfully running cadence and plugins on CentOS 6 and if it is running as well as it was on CentOS 5.. If any, what problems may I see running cadence on CentOS 6 ? Thank you very much! Robi

Fencing a Dell T110 II
by Steve Campbell 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

I think I know the answer to this question based on all of the research I've done, but figured I'd ask anyway. I needed a couple of servers for an HA cluster, and our "order" guy here ordered me a couple of Dell PowerEdge T110 II. I'd planned on using IPMI to fence these things with, but later found out that this model is only one of two PE servers Dell sells that has a stripped down BMC on it, and allows only local access. It's my fault for not looking closer at the specs, but I figured a PowerEdge server would have the stuff I needed. So now I'm looking for a way to fence these without purchasing more equipment. I thought maybe IF-MIB, but I can't discover enough about that to determine whether that'll work for me. I find it strange that using Conga (luci) from a third administration server I can reboot these two Dell nodes, and wonder why that works, how it's done, and why that wouldn't work as a fence method. Any one dealt with this particular Dell PE and fencing in any form other than using something like an APC fence? Thanks for any suggests. I've pretty much wore Google out, and I'm now in that round-robin mode of results where everything leads back to the same pages on different servers. steve campbell

default journal mode of ext3
by Yungwei Chen 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi, I found some articles (like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75152) on the Internet saying that the default journal mode is writeback. Is that correct? And is the journal mode of the following device writeback too? Thanks. [root@localhost tmp]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 Default mount options: user_xattr acl

OpenSSL 1.0.1c for CentOS 6.3
by Bry8 Star 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi, another user on different mailing list pointed out openssl 1.0.1c from fedora 18 will work on centos 6.3, and also warned on replacing core components, and i also know as well, various other component starts to fail/stop working, like openssh, etc, if not properly pre-configured after a upgrade. Can anyone point out to a detail helpful & working article ? which will help on replacing CentOS 6.3 older 1.0.0-25 openssl with the latest+stable openssl 1.0.1c ? initially i was able to compile/load them on a different/2nd directory, and manually/directly use them. but would be very helpful if default openssl could be upgraded. Thanks in advance, -- Bright Star.

gdisk dependancy problem
by Meyer, Bruce 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I followed the instructions here for enabling EHEL: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/06/enable-epel-repository/ And tried to do a yum gdisk install on a new CentOS 6.2 fully updated install. yum install gdisk Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.flhsi.com * epel: www.gtlib.gatech.edu * extras: mirror.us.leaseweb.net * rpmforge: mirror.us.leaseweb.net * updates: mirrors.finalasp.com Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package gdisk.x86_64 0:0.8.4-1.el5 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libicuuc.so.36()(64bit) for package: gdisk-0.8.4-1.el5.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libicuio.so.36()(64bit) for package: gdisk-0.8.4-1.el5.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: gdisk-0.8.4-1.el5.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libicuio.so.36()(64bit) Error: Package: gdisk-0.8.4-1.el5.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libicuuc.so.36()(64bit) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest If I read this correctly, the problem is my CentOS install has the wrong version: locate libicuuc.so /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.42 /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.42.1 Is there either an update version of gdisk that works with this version, or what do I need to do to get gdisk to work correctly with CentOS 6.2 if anyone knows. Thank you. -= Bruce D. Meyer

intel video driver
by Roberto Nunnari 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi all. I just installed centOS 5 on a new pc and everything works very well, apart the video driver that is not recognized by X and so I get no graphics hardware acceleration (glxgears is very unresponsive). lspci reports: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) while Xorg.0.log reads: (--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel Corporation unknown chipset (0x0102) rev 9, Mem @ 0xe0c00000/22, 0xd0000000/28, I/O @ 0x3000/6 I've been searching for an rpm for adding the right driver with no success. Could anybody try to help me out, please? Thank you. Robi

sysctl -p at startup?
by Emmett Culley 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I understand that the contents of /etc/sysctl.conf should be read and executed at system startup. However that never happens and I have to run sysctl -p after every reboot to get the settings I want. This is happening on every CentOS machine and VM I have. I can see in the startup scripts that "sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf >/dev/null 2>&1" is run at start up by the "apply_sysctl" function, yet the settings are never correct unless I run sysctl -p on the command line. Anybody know why that would be? I am running the latest updates on CentOS 6.3 Emmett

nm-applet in gdm still possible?
by Darod Zyree 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Greetings, Does anyone know if it is still possible to make use of the NetworkManager applet during a log on session? The reason why would be to have roaming users setup/manage (w)lan/vpn connections before logging in. Several searches hinted on either copying or linking /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop to /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow but that has not worked thus far. Centos 6.3 NetworkManager Version : 0.8.1 GDM Version : 2.30.4 -- Regards, Darod Zyree
