hal, gnome.. custom mount options for vfat storage devices
by wwp 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Hello there, w/ my CentOS6 (up-to-date), running GNOME, I'm struggling with HAL and mount options for my USB storage devices. According to what I'm reading from: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/hal.html My old policies in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ are ignored (and this is true!). Apparently I should edit my custom mount options through gconf-editor (in /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options) but whatever I set here or in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor, I see definitely no effect to mount options. Roughly, I'm trying to force mount options like storage location, flush or not, sync or not, shortname=, etc.) to my vfat-formatted USB sticks. Any hint? Am I looking at wrong configurations? BTW, should I worry about uhelper=udisks, does it mean that hal is irrelevant for what I want? Regards, -- wwp

Monitoring services
by Kenneth Porter 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

What's available to remotely monitor services? What I'd like is something that can run scripts for each service to connect to a port and verify that it's up, and then send me an SMS message (phone text) to let me know which, if any, are down. Also, does a script exist that checks all the services listed by chkconfig and reports those that should be up but are down?

Network Situation
by Gene Poole 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

In my personal environment, I've got 7 machines running, with 4 of those machines running various flavors of Linux (CentOS 5 x86_64; Fedora 15 x86_64; Fedora 14 i686). Based upon some issues with the Fedora 15 x86_64 machine I'm considering dropping Fedora 15 in favor of CentOS 6.1. My questions are: On the networking side, has a there been a move to change the ethernet names from eth0 to em1? After install, can I change from NetworkManager to plain network? On my CentOS 5 machine I'm running VMware Server 2 and would like to move to KVM virtualization on the Fedora 15/CentOS 6.1 box. Is the level of KVM comparable between Fedora 15 and CentOS 6? If I install CentOS 6.0 and sometime later upgrade to CentOS 6.2, will the fact that I'm running software raid-1 on the /boot partition cause me grief? Will the fact that I'm running software raid-1 and LVM that was defined under Fedora 12 cause me grief? Are there any caveats moving from Fedora 15 to CentOS 6? Any advise? Thanks, Gene Poole + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

Readers, Openjdk and ibm java versions have failed to install, all reporting a bad elf, e.g. ./ibm-java-i386-sdk-7.0-0.0.bin Preparing to install... Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...

UUID for network cards
by Helmut Drodofsky 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hello, with CentOS 6, my new server created an UUID entry in ifcfg-eth0 - additional to HWADDR entry. Up to CentOS 5 the connection to the netwark card was defind only by HWADDR. Now I have a new network card. How can I get the correct UUID? The server connects correct the network with the updated HWADDR without any UUID. Why do I need an UUID? Thank you for help in advance. Best Regards Helmut Drodofsky

installing gnome, CentOS 6.1
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I just rebuilt a box to 6.1 for a user. Shortly after I delivered, she came up to ask about gnome; it had come up as KDE. I looked at the login screen, and in the session type, saw previous, custom, kde, and default. When I investigated, I found not all 7,532,340 gnome packages were installed. Googling for responses only in the last month, I found a lot of groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment", as opposed to what I put in our PXEboot file months ago, "GNOME Desktop Environment (RPM Fusion Free)". That didn't work either, and after a bit more googling, found people saying groupinstall Desktop. So, is upstream so GNOMEly that the rest of the desktops/window managers are just chopped liver? mark, annoyed at having to change the ks.cgi *again*

Cause for kernel panic
by Nicolas Ross 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hi ! On an 8-node cluster, one of the node did a kernel panic. The only bit of information I have is on a ssh console I had open, which said : Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:------------[ cut here ]------------ Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu15/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Stack: Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Call Trace: Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Code: 01 00 00 e8 26 8a cd e0 85 c0 0f 85 0e ff ff ff 48 89 df e8 76 f8 ff ff e9 01 ff ff ff 31 d2 eb d4 48 89 de 31 ff e8 c3 e3 ff ff <0f> 0b eb fe 66 66 66 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 55 48 Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception From this, is there a way to determine the cause ? kdump is not confirgured nor used, since the fencing of the node renders kdump useless. This is the second time in a few weeks it happens.

Missing nss dependency nss-softokn
by Cal Webster 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I'm getting yum update errors when attempting to update nss: --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: nss-3.12.10-2.el6_1.x86_64 (updates) Requires: nss-softokn(x86-64) >= 3.12.9 Installed: nss-softokn-3.12.7-1.1.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-CentOS-201106060106.x86_64/6.0) nss-softokn(x86-64) = 3.12.7-1.1.el6 I realize I need to swap in the 6.1 ISO on our internal mirror but the missing package doesn't appear to be on the mirrors either. I can't see nss-softokn-3.12.10-2.el6_1.x86_64.rpm anywhere on the mirrors. I checked the updates and cr repos on the Duke mirror for 6.0 and 6.1 but no joy. Did this one fall through the cracks or are the mirrors still syncing up? I'm happy to wait if it's just a timing issue but I wanted to be sure the list knew, just in case. ./Cal
