Monitor Wireless Networks
by Joseph Hesse 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hi, I am having interference with my neighbouring wireless networks. Is there a linux tool that enables me to monitor the ESSID, channel, power output and other information for neighbouring wireless networks? I am especially interested in the channel so I can choose a different one. Thank you, Joe

Problem with wireless router
by Joseph Hesse 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hello, I am using wireless N on a DLink-655 wireless router. It is the "A" hardware version with the latest firmware. I am using a channel that no one in my vicinity is using, according to iwlist. I checked the Statistics from the router web interface and they are shown below for a period of less than an hour. It looks like the errors are excessive, especially the "RX Packets Dropped" Is this par for the course and TCP takes care of it or am I having hardware problems with my router? Thank you, Joe Wireless Statistics Sent :138143 TX Packets Dropped :41 Received :99485 RX Packets Dropped :50911 Errors :27

Old harware (intel 82845G card) stopped working after update (centos 6)
by Alain.Cochard＠unistra.fr 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hello. I apology in advance if I am not reporting things correctly, but my knowledge about these things is very limited. I have five Transtec computers, approximately born in July 2005; they have an intel 82845G video card. The last 'yum update' was on January 30, 2014. I did not reboot the machines at that time. I cannot be sure about the date of the 'yum update' preceding that one, but I think is was on September 7, 2013. Last Friday (February 14, 2014), 4 of those 5 computers stopped working properly after some action on them. The problem is: black screen with only the arrow of the mouse (mouse is working correctly :-). Apart from that, the computers are OK: one can use Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc. For sure, one of the action which led to the problem was a reboot. I cannot be 100% sure about the action, which was simply a change of screen: the machine was OK; then I changed the screen; it did not work any more; then I rebooted. But my experience is that, sometimes, even under normal condition, it does not work right away, or perhaps not at all, after changing the screen. The 5th computer, on which nothing has been done, is still working just fine. NB: for sure, there has been at least one reboot on at least one of the 5 machines between September (or whatever date at which the previous 'yum update' has been performed) and January, and the problem did not show up. For what it's worth, the following 2 packages are installed: xorg-x11-drv-intel-devel-2.21.12-2.el6.i686 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.21.12-2.el6.i686 Also, here is the output of 'lspci | grep 82845': 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) Based on the data, my best guess is that the problem I have is due to some recent change in the centos packages. Perhaps it was supposed to be so? (I.e., no longer supporting old hardware?). If so, at any rate, I'll be grateful if someone can suggest a workaround, or perhaps a hint towards that goal.

Dug myself into a hole
by Styma, Robert E (Robert) 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I just build a CentOS 6 machine to replace my old machine which broke to where I could not fix it. In attempting to get the applications running which had worked on the old machine, I did updates from several repos such as rpmforge, atrpms, livna, epel, etc. Some of the attempts ended going down blind alleys. Now I have a mix of rpm's from various sites that I do not need, but they are listed as dependencies of other rpm's. The rpmforge rpm's are marked with "rf". Is there a process to check which of these rpm's are also in the base libraries and force them back in? I really do not want to go back to square 1 and reload the system from scratch. Bob S

Software collections only work with CentOS-6.4 and CentOS-6.5 .. earlier versions of CentOS-6 may not work with some SCL packages. Information about SCLs can be found here: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Software_Collect… Sections of the upstream documentation that discuss RHN for delivery or reporting bugs to the upstream bugzilla are not applicable to CentOS (that is Section 2.1, Section 2.8 and all of Chapter 3 of the Revision 1.0-17.400 of the linked Release Notes). To get Software Collections for CentOS, you need to do: yum install centos-release-SCL After installation of the release file, to get specific SCL packages the linked upstream release notes can be used (ie, yum install php54 mariadb55). All bugs for the CentOS Software Collections should be made via http://bugs.centos.org/

CLAMAV problem: Error message "outdated version" although "yum list installed" reports correct version
by Jobst Schmalenbach 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi. I posted this on the clamav list as well, as I do not know whether this is a rpm issue or clamav issue. Strange problem indeed: [root /tmp] #>yum list installed "clamav*" Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Installed Packages clamav.x86_64 0.98-2.el5.rf installed clamav-db.x86_64 0.98-2.el5.rf installed clamav-milter.x86_64 0.98-2.el5.rf installed [root /tmp] #> [root /tmp] #>su clamav -c /usr/bin/freshclam ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb 20 12:37:52 2014 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED! WARNING: Local version: 0.98 Recommended version: 0.98.1 DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq I have checked the following: - all configuration files point to the same database directory - there is only one binary for each of the clamav things on the system - freshclam updates with no problems - clamconf report correct databases but also: Software settings ----------------- Version: 0.98 Any ideas? It has been complaining about this one for some time.

Language support annoyance
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I've got a user that wants Japanese language support in firefox... our *stock* CentOS firefox, 24.3. I've yum installed i18, and i10, and no joy. Looked at firefox addons, and there's one, 27.0. Won't install, "not compatible". Neither is either 24.0, or 25.0. Anyone have a link to a compatible version? mark
