Need yumex in centos 6.4 -
by Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

I've just installed centos 6.4 from a live spin I had but can't get it to install yumex or xfce for that matter. What is the secret? Or can it not be done ... Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/w2bod Box10 Fedora-20/64bit Linux/XFCE

smartctl: is my disc dying?
by Bob Hepple 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

I've got a 1Tb USB disc that appears to be dying - eg it took about 10 days (!) to run 'badblocks -nsv /dev/sdc' and it only did less than 2% in that time. Read access became _really_ slow. So there's definitely something amiss and I've got it offline. There's no drama about the content as I have other backups and I'm resigned to junking the thing, but I'm curious about the fact that smartctl doesn't seem to report any errors. I tried a short and a long test but nothing in there seems to be alarming - in fact it says PASSED!! - but the output is pretty opaque and maybe I've been foxed by ambiguity. Anyone care to comment on it? Here it is: [root@nina bhepple]# smartctl /dev/sdc -a smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [i686-linux-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.i686] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-12 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Green Device Model: WDC WD10EAVS-00M4B0 Serial Number: WD-WCAV5A574187 LU WWN Device Id: 5 0014ee 2aef3c352 Firmware Version: 01.00A01 User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes [1.00 TB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Mon Jan 27 17:43:33 2014 EST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Using ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card with Centos 6.5
by H 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

I have a ATI Radeon X1300 video card installed in a ThinkPad Advanced Docking Station where the laptop runs Centos 6.5. Upon Googling it seems that Centos 6.4 broke compatibility with the kmod-fglrx-legacy driver and that the only way around it is to downgrade X to an older version. However, the last note seems to be from before summer and I was hoping that there might have been some additional work done and it could now be used with Centos 6.5. I am not too keen on downgrading stuff since I am a relative newcomer to Linux... Does anyone have any information? Thanks.

nfs home dir, wlan/vpn, network manager
by Darod Zyree 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Is network manager available during Gnome login? Users (using laptops etc) need to authenticate and login having their home directory on NFS using autofs. However this is not possible when there is no valid network connection present; either using Wireless LAN or VPN

Booting problem after update, how to track order of starting services
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi. I have updated system/server that worked for a long time. It was upgrade from 6.4 to latest. After restart, system freezes after most/all of the daemons are booted. From interactive mode I found out that services starting are: ... ... atd jexec atieventsd libvirtd certmonger libvirt-guests local nxsensor nxserver webmin As soon as I allow webmin to pass, system freezes. BUT, if I stop after nxserver, and leave booting process at question weather to start webmin, and I login via SSH, I can start webmin. Question is how I find out what comes after webmin service. /var/log/messages is not written to, and I do not see anything in /var/log/boot.log System can operate normally if I leave it like that, I can even log-in via NX. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

Question on iptables
by Jerry Geis 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

I have a rule in iptables to drop certain packets from addresses, like: iptables --list | grep 37 DROP all -- 37.0.0.0/8 anywhere So I am wondering how this got through??? [Jan 27 02:36:52] NOTICE[9298][C-000005ce] chan_sip.c: Call from '' ( 37.8.28.217:10024) to extension '888888011972592871997' rejected because extension not found in context 'default' Shouldn't the firewall have dropped it? Thanks, Jerry

Re: [CentOS] UC smartctl: is my disc dying?
by Rushton Martin 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

I've seen similar cases where a USB drive appears to fail but the SMART reports success. The most recent was a 500 GB disk which had internally a Seagate Barracuda SATA drive. It appeared to work well until I sent it a largish (7GB) tarball. As well as SMART I ran a surface check and exercise, all passed. The tar kept failing. I can't test further, the disk has been broken up for destruction, but I wonder if the problem is the disk or the USB/SATA conversion board? If there is some sort of buffer in the interface that is filling, then the behaviour you describe makes sense. I have no proof or details, it's just a thought that occurred to me as I was breaking it up. >-----Original Message----- >From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On >Behalf Of Bob Hepple >Sent: 27 January 2014 08:11 >To: centos(a)centos.org >Subject: [CentOS] smartctl: is my disc dying? > >I've got a 1Tb USB disc that appears to be dying - eg it took about 10 days >(!) to run 'badblocks -nsv /dev/sdc' and it only did less than 2% in that time. >Read access became _really_ slow. > >So there's definitely something amiss and I've got it offline. > >There's no drama about the content as I have other backups and I'm resigned >to junking the thing, but I'm curious about the fact that smartctl doesn't seem >to report any errors.
