CentOS 6 kernel > 2.6.32-279 won't boot on ABIT AB9
by Tony Schreiner 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

I was trying to install CentOS 6.4 a workstation with an Abit AB9 motherboard on a machine that had been running 5.9 Installation completed, but upon boot, it hangs hard after acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version 0.5 ipmi message handler version 39.2 … then 3 attempts to locate an ipmi interface at different addresses ... Refined TSC clocksource calibration: 2175.999 MHz switching to clocksource TSC Googling a bit, finds a few references to similar issues on gentoo and at lkml. There was a suggestion to boot with clocksource=acpi_pm but for me that hangs at the same location (minus the switching clock source message) I have updated the motherboard BIOS to latest. I had used the the 6.3 net installer disk (and the 6.4 repo) which I noticed had kernel 2.6.32-279, so I retrieved that kernel from the vault and it works. The 279 and earlier kernels don't display any ipmi messages during boot (in dmesg) The system is not ipmi capable I don't believe, should I be looking there? Regards Tony Schreiner

CentOS Dojo at Madrid, Spain - Nov 8th 2013
by Karanbir Singh 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Our next Dojo is going to be taking place at Madrid on the 8th Nov 2013. Details on the venue and registration are on the wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Madrid2013 As has now become tradition, the Dojo will start at 9:30am and will run through to just after 5pm localtime. At which point some of us will decamp to a watering hole for drinks. On the day we have: Jaime Melis talking about KVM and Clouds built on KVM (with OpenNebula) Luis Fernando Muñoz Mejías is doing two talks, based on his experience at the Gent University. The first one is on and around yum used across large number of machines, their lessons learnt and challenges encountered. His second talk is about Quattor and Aquilon, tools that help with life cycle management - with some very interesting features like policy based config state. Lorenzo Martínez Rodríguez is going to be talking about begining steps on CentOS security and how one might secure a CentOS machine for some typical roles, and briefly touching on topics like audit, logs and forensics. Xavier Gonzalez is going to be showing off Viapps, a tool they have been working on to manage CentOS servers for typical services and tasks but treating the server as an appliance. And I will be doing a talk on the CentOS Project, the road ahead - the big things that we are working on and the plans for the next 6 to 8 months. We will also have an open space session, anyone is welcome to come up and talk about something they care about, or anything they have a problem with and are looking for advice - even if there are things that the CentOS project and CentOS Linux might be able to do better; or show off some tools or project they have been working on that is related to CentOS or runs on CentOS.

anyone running both GTK 2 and 3 ?
by Patrick 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

I really love Centos. I loaded Ubuntu last night on another drive and booted from that because I want to develop an application to run on a tablet and GTK 3 seems like a better route for a touch screen device. However I really hated Ubuntu and I was so happy to get back to Centos on my first drive. I want to use GTK 2.0 / Gnome 2 for my daily desktop. I would however like to develop using GTK 3 for the tablet application. I thought I would ask if anyone has loaded both GTK 2 and 3 on their Centos machine before I hose mine :) Any advice on how to do this? -Patrick

ddclient stops running
by Timothy Murphy 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

I find ddclient stops running after a time on a remote CentOS-6.4 server. Has anyone else found this? I think it has been happening for a couple of months. I notice because I get complaining messages in my logwatch. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

baby blue screen of permanent death
by Michael Hennebry 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

I clicked on a window to try to raise it and get a good look. Instead, my screen turned the baby blue mentioned in the subject and I could do nothing else. The mouse cursor was not even visible. It's possible an alternate terminal was available, but I didn't think of it at the time. Eventually I hit the reset button. My Daktech machine has a reset button separate from the power button. The blue went away, but it hung after the CentOS logo appeared. The watch mouse cursor appeared and stayed. I could move it with the mouse, but that was all I could do on that terminal. The possilbility that it might have some major file system checking to do caused me to wait for a few hours, but the nothing changed. It's my expectation that when the logo appears, any file system checking has already been done. Is that correct? What is the incantation to get a text view of the start up so that I can get a hint of what CentOS is waiting for? I manged to boot an old Fedora 14 install, but could not login because I had forgotten the passwords. I'm doing this from Knoppix. On another terminal, I can login to CentOS as root, but do not know what else to do. >From Koppix, I ran fsck on some file systems: root@Knoppix:~# fsck LABEL=sata400-3-slash fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) sata400-3-slash: clean, 364784/977280 files, 2005224/3907811 blocks root@Knoppix:~# fsck LABEL=sata400-5-var fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) sata400-5-var: clean, 5650/428240 files, 289518/1710914 blocks root@Knoppix:~# fsck LABEL=sata400-12-homes fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) sata400-12-homes: clean, 279637/5242880 files, 10138872/20971520 blocks root@Knoppix:~# They ran rather quickly.

How do I change passwords on an install, e.g. my F14, into which I cannot login? I can edit the files from either Knoppix or from a CentoS terminal. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily

Should I upgrade Samba 3.6 to Samba 4.1
by Joseph Hesse 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, I just installed Samba on my Centos 6.4 computer. Smbstatus says my version is 3.6.9-151.el6-4.1. My smb.conf file only has a [global] and [homes] section. My configuration works, as expected, from a Win7 Virtual Box computer and a Win8 Virtual Box computer. I can see the share from the Windows file explorer and can map the share to a network drive. The Samba server is not virtual. The problem is my wife's Win7 laptop which is running some sort of home edition of Win7. I did everything I could in control panel to enable file sharing but I still can't see the Samba share. I can ping the computer running Samba? I tried to launch "gpedit.msc" but this program was not there. Do you think it would work if I upgraded Samba to the latest version 4.1? Should I consider upgrading to Win7 professional? Thank you, Joe Hesse
