frozen-bubble for el6-64??
by Fred Smith 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

anybody know of a frozen-bubble package for el6 x86_64? I've been reduced to trying to build from source, and it ain't going very well. :( Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------

I have posted it months ago here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Redhat-Enterprise-6/td-p/1210… Actually, I also posted to the c6 fora back then and suggested to document it more precisely in the wiki. That posting was immediately closed without further ado. Someone even followed me to the skype fora, only to state that I'm just talking bullshit and that http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype has all you need to know. And of course yes: Skype-4.1 is running nicely here on x86_64 for all these months. And it doesn't require anything special -- and certainly not breaking your installation with some weird Qt-4.7.

Though I need the i686 version, but given the x86_64, I found the i686 one.

802.11 Access Point software
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Mar '13

Is there a way (software) to turn a Centos server into an AP? The server will have DHCP and RADVD, so no ARP proxying needed. This is for a small lab setup. yumex is not helping me search for an answer.

CentOS 5 sshd does not log IP address of reverse mapping failure
by Tilman Schmidt 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

I'm running a mix of CentOS 5 and 6 servers reachable by ssh from the Internet. Of course I allow only public key authentication and no root login. In addition I'm running fail2ban to block obnoxious brute force attack sources. On CentOS 6 this is working pretty well, but on CentOS 5 there's one class of attacks fail2ban fails to ban. (No pun intended.) This isn't fail2ban's fault, but openssh's. When the source IP address of a failed attempt fails the reverse mapping check, CentOS 6 (openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6_3.x86_64) logs: Mar 3 04:06:34 posthamster sshd[1718]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hn.ly.kd.adsl [61.163.113.72] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! from which fail2ban can pick up and block IP address 61.163.113.72 just fine. CentOS 5 (openssh-server-4.3p2-82.el5) OTOH logs: Mar 3 04:44:48 gimli sshd[12870]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hn.ly.kd.adsl failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! without the IP address. The name is of no use because sshd just confirmed that it doesn't really correspond to the attacker's IP address. Any ideas how to remedy that situation?

lost connection during yum update
by Frank Cox 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

During today's big Centos 6 update I lost my connection to a machine during the "yum update" and when I logged back in and ran yum update again it told me to run yum-complete-transaction. When I ran yum-complete-transaction I got screen after screen of "x is a duplicate with x" where x consists of a huge list of packages. "package-cleanup --dupes" gives me a huge list of packages. I think that my next step here should be "package-cleanup --cleandupes" but when I do that it tells me that it will remove 800-plus mb of files. I suppose it's the the same list that I get with "package-cleanup --dupes". Do I want to do this or will that nuke the operating system? If not, what should I be doing? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

Wireless cannot ping gateway after 6.3 CR updates
by b.j. mcclure 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

I'm having a wireless connection issue with an HP laptop and a Zotac media server after the 6.4 package updates from CR repository. Nothing changed with wireless config as far as I can tell. Both have been working fine with previous releases of 6.x. Oddly, if a cat 5 cable is connected for a few seconds and then disconnected the wireless works fine and survives a 'service network restart' but does not survive a reboot. A laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 continues to connect normally. The boxes in question appear to connect to the router/accesspoint, are assigned correct static IPs, but cannot ping any box on the intranet including the router. No other boxes on the intranet can ping the hp or zotac, Once a network cable is inserted and removed all is well with that box. The zotac box uses the ath9k wireless driver, the HP uses b43. Same result using DHCP instead of static IP. Output of iwconfig appears normal on both errant boxes and does not change from non-working to working state. Google has not been much help. FWIW, here is output of iwconfig and ifconfig. ~]$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:2E:BC:74:14 inet6 addr: fe80::201:2eff:febc:7414/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1249 (1.2 KiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:89 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:89 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:8807 (8.6 KiB) TX bytes:8807 (8.6 KiB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:F0:6D:8C:FE:CF inet addr:192.168.1.208 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::76f0:6dff:fe8c:fecf/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:732 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:79 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:107489 (104.9 KiB) TX bytes:9217 (9.0 KiB) [LSF@nra ~]$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"toadnet" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:24:93:38:89:80 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-28 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:29 Missed beacon:0 Any thoughts appreciated.

I had to stop using the fglrx video driver from ELRepo, which isn't supported with CentOS 6.4.

Re: [CentOS] Apache setup problems
by Bruce Whealton 09 Mar '13

Hello, Yes, I have installed php with yum. I used php* and just recently was told that there is nothing to install, it is all up to date. I did a yum search php first, and tried to install a bunch of php modules, all of which are already installed. I had done that a while back. I think I might have done that from the Centos desktop and now I'm working mainly from ssh. By not working, I mean that the index.php file does not get processed as php - yes, I checked that the file was renamed .php and that there is no .html file that could be run instead of the php file. So, I added to a test file named index.php, and in the body I have a simple <?php phpinfo(); ?> In the tutorials I found online, there is mention of the php configuration can be in the httpd.conf file or it can be called from that file. I have this line in the httpd.conf Include conf.d/*.conf Will that work? I am calling that from the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf so it seems like a relative path would be ../conf.d/*.conf, unless this is relative to this: ServerRoot "/etc/httpd" So, inside /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf I have # # PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it # easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. # <IfModule prefork.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so </IfModule> <IfModule worker.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5-zts.so </IfModule> # # Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension. # AddHandler php5-script .php AddType text/html .php # # Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory # indexes. # DirectoryIndex index.php # # Uncomment the following line to allow PHP to pretty-print .phps # files as PHP source code: # AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps That should be enough at least get the phpinfo(); command to run. At some point, I got a message about there not being a php.ini file anywhere. Also, none of the other various php modules are being called anywhere. Still, I'm perplexed that I cannot get anything to run in terms of php. I could try a simple echo command to test something even simpler. Thanks, It's great that there is such active response on this list... fast response times when seeking help. :-) Bruce _______________________________________________________ Bruce Whealton - Web Design/Development/Programming Future Wave Web Development: http://futurewaveonline.com Developing for the Desktop as well as for Mobile Devices - Smartphones/Tablets Call 919-636-5809 _______________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Reindl Harald [mailto:h.reindl@thelounge.net] Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2013 2:17 PM To: CentOS mailing list Cc: Bruce Whealton Subject: Re: [CentOS] Apache setup problems Am 09.03.2013 20:02, schrieb Bruce Whealton: > The problem was with the SELinux.
