Kernel 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6 boot fail
by Kwan Lowe 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Hello All: I installed 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 today and had some boot issues. After rebooting, the system locked immediately after the Asus motherboard logo. I thought at first that it was a hardware issue because it didn't appear that grub even loaded. I wasn't even able to get into the BIOS to change the boot order so it appeared that it was a hardware issue. I reset the MB BIOS and rebooted, which allowed me to get into the BIOS. Everything looked normal. I then tried to boot and the same issue. I repeated the BIOS clear and this time got to grub and let it load the latest kernel (2.6.32-358.14.1.el6). It hung again. I repeated the BIOS clear, go to the grub screen, selected the previous kernel and everything was fine. Once I got to the OS, I removed the "rhgb quiet" from grub.conf from the newest kernel. Rebooted. Hung again immediately after loading. The weird thing is that I couldn't just power down and get back to grub; I had to clear the BIOS again before I could even load grub to select the previous kernel. Anyone else experiencing issues with the latest kernel? Any idea why it seems to even corrupt the BIOS?

I use an appliance from Smartvue - the Smartvue S9. They have a very small version - the S9i - now that has 128GB of SSD for ~$700 that will handle 10 cameras. http://smartvue.com/products/index.html I have been running the S9 version for a little over a year with only a few issues. It's been very reliable and easy to use. It actually runs Fedora under the hood! Shawn

howto avoid Samba
by Johan Vermeulen 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Dear All, I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server. So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba server with ldap connection. Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also because I can't get it to work on Centos. ) I saw a post on the mailinglist some time ago about Windows and Nfs, but find that Nfs is supported on Win7 Ultimate but not on Professional edition. I apologise if another way was mentioned in this post and I missed it. I googled and tried Omni-Nfs, but could not get a connection working. I installed TightVnc on Windows and that connects ok to the Centos server, but shared clipboard does not work. Can anyone point met to a useful solution to enable file sharing to Win7 Pro without Samba? Many thanks. greetings, J. -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen Opensource Software is the future.

Firewire on Centos-6 ???
by Fred Smith 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Hi all! I'm trying to use my first-ever firewire device, and just OOB I'm not getting very far, so advice would be appreciated. When I plug in the device I see some entries in /var/log/messages: Jul 27 14:50:30 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Jul 27 14:50:31 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 0003f300118123f9, S100 lsmod says this: # lsmod | grep fire firewire_ohci 24695 0 firewire_core 50151 1 firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1717 2 udf,firewire_core I have these 1394-related packages installed: # yum list installed | grep 1394 libavc1394.x86_64 0.5.3-9.1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64/6.3 libdc1394.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libdc1394-docs.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libdc1394-tools.x86_64 2.1.2-3.4.el6 @base libraw1394.x86_64 2.0.4-1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64/6.3 lspci says this: 03:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) the only mention of 1394 that I see in /etc/modprobe.d is this (grep output): dist.conf:install eth1394 /bin/true which, to the limited extent of my understanding shouldn't be a problem. I'm trying to use Kino. when I start it up and click the "capture" tab on the right I get a warning in the bar at the bottom of the Kino window that reads: WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw/1394! which makes sense since there ins't a /dev/raw/1394. however, according to this: # find /dev -name \*firewire\* -print /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw1 /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw0 there are two firewire device nodes. Should Kino be using one of those device nodes instead of /dev/raw/1394? Or if not, does anyone have further advice (preferably helpful advice) ?? thanks!

Django 1.5 Upgrade
by Larry Martell 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Anyone here using django on centos. On my Mac, running python 2.7, I upgraded from 1.4 to 1.5 by doing this: rm -rf /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django Followed by python setup.py install in the dir I untar-ed Django-1.5.1 to. This all worked fine. On a Centos system running python 2.6 I did: rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django followed by the setup.py install. My django app is working, and appears to be running 1.5, however anytime I use manage.py (for collectstatic or syncdb or test, for example) I get these messages: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py:465: DeprecationWarning: The 'execute_manager' function is deprecated, you likely need to update your 'manage.py'; please see the Django 1.4 release notes (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4/). DeprecationWarning) /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py:409: DeprecationWarning: The 'setup_environ' function is deprecated, you likely need to update your 'manage.py'; please see the Django 1.4 release notes (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4/). DeprecationWarning) So it seems I still have some 1.4 stuff around. I don't get this on my Mac. How can I get rid of these messages?
