Is Biarch with 6.x now dead?
by Michael Lampe 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

I'm experimenting with 6.2 now. Things seem to be really great so far! Distribution closure is one of my favourite pets. So I tried to install everything. I found only one problem, but that's another (minor) thing. But I found almost nothing under /usr/lib. So, Biarch is really dead? Funny! A couple of years back, I finally opted for CentOS instead of Debian just because of Biarch ... I'm getting real old ... -Michael

Hyper V integration question
by Dvorkin, Asya 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Hello everyone, I have Hyper V integration working properly, but needed to do an update to 2.6.18-274.12.1.el5-x86_64. Since then, it no longer works. As discovered previously, one needs to rebuild Hyper V Integration tools due to the kernel panic. http://www.sudonym.com/398/kernel-panic-after-yum-update-centos-with-hyper-… Done. But I'm getting an error message: "Your system DOES NOT support the timesource driver" when running make. adjtimex is installed - adjtimex-1.20-2.1. Any ideas? I've successfully followed the same steps in the past, but right now they are just not working. Thank you! Asya

Plymouth "Failed to read image"
by 夜神　岩男 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

I'm trying to learn more about Plymouth, but am having trouble finding sufficient documentation on it. After a rebuild of Plymouth with a few theme changes, I am getting an error message on boot "Failed to read image" and then it gives me the grub screen to boot one of the three kernels installed. Boot works fine and I actually see the proper splash once I select a kernel. Changing themes works, etc. The single problem is that weird message about image read failure. So my question: Since Plymouth actually is working fine after the 5 second delay, just what image is it that can't be read? Is this a message about, say, the "background image" for the menu (the screen background *is* black, actually) or the "ramfs boot image" which apparently works just fine after a moment? Perhaps the error message is just confusing me. If it is just the background image, then what is not valid about the splash.xpm.gz now? I've reduced it to 14 indexed colors, 640x480 resolution (which I thought were the criteria?).

VMware tools not installing init.d script
by Brian McKerr 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Has anyone else seen this on Centos 6.x x64? Running vSphere 5.0 and I install tools from the VMware tar.gz file with ' vmware-install-tools.pl -d' it seems to do all the usual/right things. Once completed there is no 'vmware-tools' listed in 'chkconfig --list'. A reboot of the box leaves vmware tools not running. I have tried completely uninstalling tools and re-installing, not difference. Cheers.

gnome keyring
by Jerry Geis 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

I am having an issue I have not ran into before... I set my box to "auto" login by changing the file: more /etc/gdm/custom.conf # GDM configuration storage [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=silentm TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=silentm TimedLoginDelay=0 [security] [xdmcp] [greeter] [chooser] [debug] It does auto login - however then when I try to VNC into the box I get the message about the "gnome remote desktop enter password for default keyring to unlock". I do have a VNC password set. I did some searching but the things I found did not make a difference. Any thoughts? Jerry

Hi every: I have a test or development environment in my Windows workstation with VMware Workstation 8.0 where I have around 7 VM with CentOS 6.2 and each of them have 2 network interfaces: one bridge and the other NAT. Since a few days I have been experimenting some problems with Putty because I get this error: --------------------------- PuTTY Fatal Error --------------------------- Network error: Software caused connection abort --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I did not touch any SSH configuration so I can't see where the problem is, any help or solution to this?

Mystery of email authentication
by Timothy Murphy 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

I'm trying to setup sendmail/dovecot on a new server running CentOS-6 (well, CentOS-6.2 now). Everything seems to go well, but when I run fetchmail I get this warning: ------------------------------------ [tim@grover ~]$ fetchmail imap.maths.tcd.ie fetchmail: Warning: the connection is insecure, continuing anyways. (Better use --sslcertck!) ------------------------------------ I should say that everything runs fine on a CentOS-5.7 server, and as far as I can see the setup on the new server is the same. Under CentOS-5.7 I don't get the same warning: ------------------------------------ [tim@helen ~]$ fetchmail imap.maths.tcd.ie fetchmail: No mail for tim at imap.maths.tcd.ie ------------------------------------ If I do add --sslcertck (as suggested) I get the response: ------------------------------------ [tim@grover ~]$ fetchmail --sslcertck imap.maths.tcd.ie fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: self signed certificate fetchmail: This means that the root signing certificate (issued for /C=IE/ST=Dublin/L=Dublin/O=School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin./OU=Automatically-generated IMAP SSL key/CN=imap.maths.tcd.ie/emailAddress=postmaster(a)maths.tcd.ie) is not in the trusted CA certificate locations, or that c_rehash needs to be run on the certificate directory.

kernel panic/abort during boot
by fred smith 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

Just did an in-place update from 6.1 to 6.2 on my eeepc 901 (Atom CPU). during boot, (if I hit ESC to see the boot messages) it says "starging udev" then nothing else for a few seconds, then a huge register dump scrolls by. it's too big to see the beginning of it. If I boot from the prior kernel and look in /var/log/messages, I don't see any evidence of the failed boot. I've seen the other thread titled "kernel panic", and it seems to be due to a missing initramfs, but there is an initramfs for 2.6.32-220.el6 already in /boot, so I don't think that would be the problem. Can anyone suggest how I would isolate what's going on here? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:9 (niv) -----------------------------
