The moving of VNC port from 580n to 590n
by Robert Moskowitz 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

On my 'older' systems that include Centos 5.5 and Fedora 12, vncserver is running on ports 580n where n is defined by userid in the /etc/sysconfig/vncserver I just spent a bit of time getting it working on my new Centos 6.3 server and found it listening on ports 590n. When did the change occur? And guess I should test out where it is on Fedora 17...

weird issue with qemu-kvm network...
by skull 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello CentOS mailinglist I am running CentOS 6.3 with qemu-kvm and libvirt. I was experimenting with bridged VM networking. Usually the VMs run over the network device virbr0. So i created a new bridge with brctl and added my eth0 to that bridge. Not touching virbr0 or it's configuration at all. Then i edited the configuration xml from my VM with 'virsh edit vmname'. After that i decided to restart my server, basically just to 'reset' my network. I know, that's not necessary. But it's easier than risking connection loss and having to get physical access to the server ;) After the restart my virbr0 network device was gone! cat /var/log/dmesg | grep virbr0 returned nothing. cat /var/log/messages | grep virbr0 brought up nothing aswell. I tried to reinstall all relevant packages with yum reinstall qemu-kvm python-virtinst virt-top virt-viewer libvirt libvirt-client libvirt-python qemu-kvm-tools But with no success :( Does anyone have an idea how to recreate the default virbr0? Is it doable via virsh? I don't have a DE installed on this server, so no virtual-manager. I am willing to go that far if it's worth it though.

I have rearranged things to run the tests solely from CentOS-6 boxes and using MAILFROM has circumvented the problem. Bell Canada is still 'working on a solution'.

skype not starting anymore, prelink issue?
by wwp 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello there! I was running skype 4.1.0.20 on my 64-bit laptop for weeks (installed in /opt, from an official skype binary archive, plus few 32-bit stuff to get it working), when suddenly it stopped working, no way to start it: $ skype Fatal: QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice Aborted A quick search on the Internet brought some possible solution, basically configuring prelink to skip skype binary, uninstall skype, reinstall it. I was doubtful about uninstall/reinstall step since I didn't install it using a RPM but from a binary archive. Anyway I did it, restarted even the computer. No way to start skype. For now I'm stuck w/ an former staticQT 4.0.0.8 version of skype, which has no support for MSN accounts. Please note that I'm not using skype+msn because I want, but because I need to (@work). Did anybody ever solve this issue or has a clue about how to do it? Regards, -- wwp

Re: [CentOS] Multiple Virtual SSL sites with Apache httpd on CentOS 5

X forwarding
by skull 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

How does one use X forwarding properly? I got a server running CentOS 6.3 at runlevel 3 (no DE installed) I try to access virt-manager via x-forwarding from another CentOS 6.3 client in my network (runlevel 5 with default gnome) on The server i changed my sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes i installed xauth on both of the machines. Anything else there is to do? When i try to: ssh -X root@server virt-manager I still get the following error message: RuntimeError: could not open display Which is in fact a message i get with every graphical programm i try to run through that. So I guess it's an error in my ssh configuration. Any tips?

Dell unofficial community repository - what do you think?
by Rafał Radecki 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi all. I am currently gathering information about firmware update on Dell PowerEdge machines. I've found http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Firmware-tools_announcement and https://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ It is an unofficial, community supported repository. What are your experiences: should I perform firmware updates the traditional way by downloading *.bin packages from Dell and run them manually or should I use this repo? Is this repo "safe" and releases stable packages? Best regards, Rafal Radecki.

CentOS 6.3: libreport/abrt update problem
by Mogens Kjaer 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hello, In updates, there are new packages of abrt and libreport. But yum update gives me: Error: Package: abrt-2.0.8-6.el6.centos.2.x86_64 (updates) Requires: libreport >= 2.0.9-5.el6_3.2 Removing: libreport-2.0.9-5.el6.centos.x86_64 (@base) libreport = 2.0.9-5.el6.centos Updated By: libreport-2.0.9-5.el6.centos.2.x86_64 (updates) libreport = 2.0.9-5.el6.centos.2 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Is the new libreport incorrectly named libreport-2.0.9-5.el6.centos.2.x86_64 instead of: libreport-2.0.9-5.el6.2.x86_64 or is the dependency of abrt incorrect?
