Disabling the shutdown buttons in graphical login screen of CentOS 6.3
by Andrea*s Jackie Klaura 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi, I am not sure if I probably have overlooked some important clue, but I am stuck with a problem with the gdm-greeter in CentOS 6.3 here since three days without finding any suitable solution. The problem: * I have to somehow deactivate the "Suspend", "Restart" and "Shutdown" options in the login screen. * This has to be done in CLI mode, as I have to change this on many machines Tried out solutions: * As far as I could figure out gdm-simple-greeter would be the programm I'd have to tweak. But changing options in /etc/gdm/custom.conf does not change anything (as if this file would be ignored). * Another thing would be to set the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons option to true through gconftool-2. But this option also seems to be ignored. Several posts on the web point to this being a bug which is fixed in RHEL but not CentOS. * I also tried to limit access to all the poweroff, reboot and halt commands through pam.d so that only root would be allowed to shutdown. This did not work either. * I even tried to rename the /sbin/reboot command (and therefore deactivate all the different links pointing to it). Still clicking the buttons still lead to a shutdown (although at some point it got stuck, but the system was not reachable any more). Additional remarks: * I did also delete /etc/acpi/events/power.conf in order to disable the physical power button on the machine. At least that did work, but the problem still is that normal users can shutdown the machine through the gdm login screen. If anyone has any hints, I would be very glad. And sorry if I overlooked anything, but meanwhile I am getting a bit desperate. Looking through the web and different mailing lists and fora gave me the impression that there are still several people out there with this problem and no real solution is around. thanks, cheers, jackie -- Andrea*s Jackie Klaura University of Vienna Institute of Theoretical Chemistry Waehringerstr. 17 A-1090 Vienna, Austria tel: +43 (0)1 4277 52756

A workaround to dhclient problems
by Stephen Harris 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Summary: if you have C5 guests with dhclient "bad udp checksum" issues then this entry on the host will fix it: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill Detail: If anyone else is seeing this... Feb 11 19:22:11 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 11 19:22:56 mercury last message repeated 3 times Feb 11 19:23:12 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 11 19:23:12 mercury dhclient: 5 bad udp checksums in 5 packets Feb 11 19:23:20 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 11 19:23:51 mercury last message repeated 2 times Feb 11 19:24:09 mercury last message repeated 2 times Feb 11 19:24:09 mercury dhclient: 5 bad udp checksums in 5 packets The client eventually expires the lease and goes back to DISCOVER state and then gets an IP address. This only seems to happen with C5 (RH5?) guests on a KVM host. C6 guests don't have the problem. Googling also shows Debian with issues, and the problem may be in the ISC code base. The work-around is to add an iptables entry on the host: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill With this in place dhclient on C5 guests can happily renew their address Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 10.0.0.134 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: DHCPACK from 10.0.0.134 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: bound to 10.0.0.135 -- renewal in 16918 seconds.

centos 6 rpmbuild
by Larry Brigman 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

I have a spec file that is doing a binary rpm build. This spec file works on centos 5 but fails on centos 6 for file not found. Here is the files section: %files %defattr(-,root,root) %defverify(not mtime group) %config /etc/captureProxy.conf /etc/init.d/captureProxy /etc/logrotate.d/captureProxy /usr/bin/captureProxy %doc /usr/share/man/man5/captureProxy.conf.5 %doc /usr/share/man/man8/captureProxy.8 Here is the resulting error message: error: File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man5/captureProxy.conf.5 error: File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man8/captureProxy.8 RPM build errors: File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man5/captureProxy.conf.5 File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man8/captureProxy.8 The two doc files are getting compress to .gz files in centos 6 but not in centos 5. and I have tracked it down to the %install section because if I do -bi instead of -bb and look at the files the base .5 and .8 files are now .gz. Can I fix this behavior?

OT: UPS battery vendor
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi, folks. I need some new replacement batteries for rack-mount APC UPSes. My old vender... well, the salesman I dealt with for several years left about a year and a half ago, and last year's purchase was a disaster (wrong batteries, wrong batteries, months to get the shipping to return the wrong batteries...), so I'm looking for a new, reliable vendor who does US government contract sales. Recommendations? Warnings? mark

Request help about developing android apps on CentOS
by Harry Chen 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi there Firstly I must claim that this is the first time I using a mailing list and I am not familiar with the rules here. As well I am not so good at English too. So here's my apologizes if I'm not able to claim the problem clearly. I'm now using CentOS 6.3 with kernel 2.6.32-279.19.1.el668. Recently I wanna transfer my work from WIndows 8 to Linux. One of my hobbies is developing Android apps(:-)So I am not a prof at all). Everything goes well when I install Eclipse, Android SDK, blahblah. But the worst thing was that I couldn't make ADB connect to my phone. My phone is Huawei C8812 which can be listed by lsusb as Bus 001 Device 003: ID 12d1:1031 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. And I followed the instructions on http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/tools/device.html ,but it seemed not working at all. So I found another page http://www.cnblogs.com/116913829/archive/2012/02/09/2343996.html ,it couldn't help me ,either. Yet I have rebooted and restarted udev for hundreds of times, it just wouldn't show on the list of 'adb devices'.(Yes, I confirmed I turned the 'USB Debugging' on on my phone.) I am confused, can anyone help me? Thank you anyway. Harry Chen

LibreOffice 4.0 on Centos 5.9
by fred smith 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

I've just installed LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on my Centos 5.9 system. the previous version (3.4.x) was working fine. But 4.0.0.3 won't start up. When run from a terminal it prints: no suitable windowing system found, exiting. Is this yet another case of apps moving on beyond compatibility with the older components in C5? Or any hints for making it work? Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
