Mail notification in panel/system tray on CentOS 6
by Toralf Lund 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to add a "new mail" notification icon to the panel/system tray under CentOS 6? On CentOS 5, I used the "mail-notification" software package provided by the Fedora "EPEL" distribution, but this is gone from the version 6 repository, and the one from version 5 won't install just like that due to dependency issues. Maybe it's possible to resolve those, but I'm wondering if that's the way to go, or if there is a better alternative these days. - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

"Can't install ... as no transaction" from PackageKit (CentOS 6)
by Toralf Lund 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hello again, Does anyone have any idea what the following message in the package installer - gpk-install-local-file - is supposed to mean? Can't install /tmp/mail-notification-4.0-3.el5.x86_64.rpm as no transaction (Under "More details" in the "Local install failed" popup.) This is something I got while trying to set up a "mail notification" icon - refer to my other recent post. I happen to know what (part of) the problem is - the package has dependencies that can't be resolved, but why doesn't the message just say so? And what's the meaning of a "transaction" anyway? Mind you, I believe I understand the word perfectly well, but in the above sentence it still makes no sense to me... To reproduce this, you may try (on a CentOS 6) system: 1. In a web browser, go to http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/repoview/mail-notification.ht… or http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/mail-notification.html depending on your architecture. 2. Click on the rpm link. 3. Select "Open with"->"Package Installer (default)". 4. Answer "Install" when asked if you want to install the file (after it's downloaded.) 5. Click "More details" when the error popup appears. I suspect, though, that you may actually see a sensible "dependency" message, i.e. that this is sometimes correctly displayed, sometimes not. - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Question about /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

I don't know if this file comes from clam or amavis-new, but.... It contains the comment and command: # Run as a selected user (clamd must be started by root) User amavis Is this conf file for clam or amavis? As in /etc/clamd.conf we have: # Run as another user (clamd must be started by root for this option to work) # Default: don't drop privileges User clam # Initialize supplementary group access (clamd must be started by root). # Default: no AllowSupplementaryGroups yes Then in /etc/amavisd.conf (the real? conf file for amavis-new) in the Clamav section are comments: # # Note: run clamd under the same user as amavisd, or run it under its own # # uid such as clamav, add user clamav to the amavis group, and then add # # AllowSupplementaryGroups to clamd.conf; So is clam running under its user or amavis? Why is this last comment pointing to the 'old' clamav userid?

Alias for sending email messages from root
by James B. Byrne 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

I have run into what can only be described as a farce but one that is outside my control and which I need fixed. I am informed that my cell phone service provider, Bell Canada, will not allow any email messages from a user id 'root' to pass through their email to sms text gateway. Now, I send alerts out from cron and other system monitoring software and these all go out as root(a)host.domain.tld. Is there any way to configure the outgoing address to be something else? Or do I have to rename the root user to get around this nonsensical, and utterly useless, restriction imposed by my provider? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

yum killed, ipa\* and xorg\* a mess
by Zube 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

yum update was killed at an inopportune time, leaving ipa\* and xorg\* in an inconsistent state. yum-complete-transaction looks like it it's going to erase the entire system and then fails. >From the transaction files, the following are in: install 0:ipa-python-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:ipa-client-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:xorg-x11-server-common-1.10.6-1.0.1.el6.centos.x86_64 install 0:ipa-admintools-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 rpm -q ipa-server returns: ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 rpm -q ipa-server-selinux returns: ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 Thinking I could remove the old and then drop in the new, I tried: rpm -e ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 but that fails with: ipa-server-selinux = 2.2.0-17.el6_3.1 is needed by (installed) ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 Normally I'd not be hesitant about trying different options, perhaps with --nodeps, and then reinstalling if my inexperience proved to be fatal, but this machine is not unimportant, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for your time. Cheers, Zube

pid location from clamav on Centos 6.3
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

I was getting nowhere with my clamav permissions problem, so I blew away my test system and did a total rebuild. I am now up to the part right after the install of amavis-new, clamav, clamav-devel, and clamd all from the epel.repo (spamassassin, also installed at the same time comes from the base repo). Prior to this, I rebuild the system from my kickstart file, and did the postfix, postfixadmin, mysql, dovecot, and roundcube setups all from instructions and scripts that I have put together over the past number of weeks, and this part went right through with no apparent problems. So now I am carefully checking out clamav before I make any config changes and right away I notice discrepencies with where clamd.pid is located. In /etc/clamd.conf it is placed in /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid In /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf it is placed in /var/run/amavisd/clamd.pid /etc/amavisd/amaviisd.conf does not reference the clamd.pid, only the .sock and warns you to point it to the same place as in /etc/clamd.conf. But what gives with the pid file locations? I might think that in a base install the pid file would be pointed to the same place? Obviously, I have figured out I really need to make these two enteries the same, but still. :(

Is this a NFSv4 bug??
by C. L. Martinez 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

HI all, I have configured a CentOS 6.3 x86_64 as a NFSv4 server and I am suffering errors like this: perl[7889]: segfault at a80 ip 00007fb870227ea2 sp 00007fff2fecda30 error 4 in libperl.so[7fb870193000+162000] The symptoms are the same as described in this thread: http://serverfault.com/questions/235059/vfs-file-max-limit-1231582-reached Can anyone confirm that is a bug when NFSv4 is used? My actual options are: fs.file-max = 1639200 [root@server01 fs]# lsof |wc -l 3962 [root@server01 fs]# cat file-nr 3040 0 1639200

Not respected repo priorities...
by John Doe 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Ah ah, the demo effect... just after I said I did not have much issues with repos... ^_^ A collegue installed some packages (for perconna) and since then a server insists on replacing 2 base packages with 2 rfx packages, even when I gave a lower priority to rfx... Installed: perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.020-127.el6.x86_64 Installed: 1:perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020-127.el6.x86_64 Installed: perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.020-127.el6.x86_64 Installed: perl-Compress-Zlib-2.020-127.el6.x86_64 Installed: perl-HTML-Tagset-3.20-4.el6.noarch Installed: perl-HTML-Parser-3.64-2.el6.x86_64 Installed: perl-libwww-perl-5.833-2.el6.noarch Installed: perl-Params-Validate-0.92-3.el6.x86_64 Installed: perl-Log-Dispatch-2.26-1.el6.rf.noarch Installed: perl-Parallel-ForkManager-0.7.5-2.2.el6.rf.noarch Installed: 4:perl-Time-HiRes-1.9721-127.el6.x86_64 Installed: perl-Config-Tiny-2.12-7.1.el6.noarch # yum update Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, priorities, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * epel: mirror.affix.me * rpmforge: archive.cs.uu.nl * rpmforge-extras: archive.cs.uu.nl rpmforge | 1.9 kB 00:00 rpmforge-extras | 1.9 kB 00:00 1913 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl-Compress-Zlib.x86_64 0:2.020-127.el6 will be obsoleted ---> Package perl-IO-Compress.noarch 0:2.037-1.el6.rfx will be obsoleting --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.037 for package: perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el6.rfx.noarch --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.037 for package: perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el6.rfx.noarch ---> Package perl-IO-Compress-Base.x86_64 0:2.020-127.el6 will be obsoleted ---> Package perl-IO-Compress-Zlib.x86_64 0:2.020-127.el6 will be obsoleted --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el6.rfx.noarch (rpmforge-extras) Requires: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.037 Available: perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.020-127.el6.x86_64 (base) perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.020 Error: Package: perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el6.rfx.noarch (rpmforge-extras) Requires: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.037 Installed: 1:perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020-127.el6.x86_64 (@base) perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.020 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem Is it a yum/priority bug or a repoforge bug? I suspect it might be due to the new fedora release? Doesn't priority also blocks obsoleted/obsoleting packages...? I did a clean all... Thx, JD
