L9 - what is a value
by Jussi Hirvi 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

This code: var('i') = string; boolean($i); '<br>'; var('i') = array; boolean($i); '<br>'; gives: > false > true So an empty array gives "true" but an empty string "false". This is different from L8. Is this intentional? If so, why? - Jussi

SELinux triggered during Libvirt snapshots
by Trey Dockendorf 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

I recently began getting periodic emails from SEalert that SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm "getattr" access from the directory I store all my virtual machines for KVM. All VMs are stored under /vmstore , which is it's own mount point, and every file and folder under /vmstore currently has the correct context that was set by doing the following: semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t "/vmstore(/.*)?" restorecon -R /vmstore So far I've noticed then when taking snapshots and also when using virsh to make changes to a domain's XML file. I haven't had any problems for the 3 or 4 months I've run this KVM server using SELinux on Enforcing, and so I'm not really sure what information is helpful to debug this. The server is CentOS 6 x86_64 updated to CR. This is the raw audit entry, (hostname removed) node=kvmhost.tld type=AVC msg=audit(1318634450.285:28): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1842 comm="qemu-kvm" name="/" dev=dm-2 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c772,c779 tcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t:s0 tclass=filesystem node=kvmhost.tld type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1318634450.285:28): arch=c000003e syscall=138 success=no exit=-13 a0=9 a1=7fff1cf153f0 a2=0 a3=7fff1cf15170 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1842 auid=4294967295 uid=107 gid=107 euid=107 suid=107 fsuid=107 egid=107 sgid=107 fsgid=107 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="qemu-kvm" exe="/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm" subj=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c772,c779 key=(null) I've attached the alert email as a quote below, (hostname removed) Any help is greatly appreciated, I've had to deal little with SELinux fortunately, but at the moment am not really sure if my snapshots are actually functional or if this is just some false positive.

CentOS 6.0: panic installing i386 on old Acer Desktop
by William L. Maltby 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Well, after much trial and tribulation I got to the point I could nfs mount the CentOS 6.0 i386 iso image and try an install. So I stuck in the net install CD (latest from CentOS), mounted the nfs iso image and gave it several shots. It goes swimmingly until I click "write disks". Then there's a kernel panic. This with both the graphic and text mode installs. As mentioned, I've not yet researched/figured how I might capture this from my KVM. I've got some 5.x and 6.0 (with cr updates) and windows units available on my homegroannetwork LAN if there's a way to do it over a network. I've got some old serial cables (and various null modem ones and/or adapters) and Wyse-60 terminals but I don't even know yet if I can boot this with output to a serial port. I'll be checking that. If someone has figured out how to capture the output in my situation during initial system install, I'm all "ears". The system still boots the old CentOS 4.8 (first boots in around a ... year(?)) and I did dmidecode and a couple other short commnds that I hope is enough for someone to offer further direction or suggestions. Apologies for the size but it's been so long since I did any low-level stuff I was afraid I'd snip something important. I tried, based on *old* memories, adding kernel arguments of noapic and nolapic (IIRC). Still no joy.

Virtual host package, command line, I need help
by Bob Hoffman 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

I am at wits end with this KVM. It is hard to get the information needed to do this properly with centos 6 and KVM since it is so new and the googling of 'KVM' brings up everything except kernel based virtual machines. What I have done... 1) my cpus have virtualization 2) centos 6, selected 'virtual host' package 3) it goes to command line 4) I have made virtual guests with virt-install, in LVM folders, not images 5) 'cannot display' is all I get from command line The packages installed seem to have many gnome and vnc rpms. (and x-windows stuff too) Virt-manager was installed but only produces errors when run from command line I am unable to get anything past getting the guest running since I cannot open any kind of display. I have been able to easily do this in a gnome desktop, but figure command line is going to be less overhead for the server. I have added --vnc and tried some other things, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a graphic or text install to come up on the local machine to save my life. With all the gnome packages (and there are quite a few) that were installed with the 'virtual host' package I figured something would come up, but all attempts have failed miserably. I am stuck in command line with no way out. I do plan on putting up a step by step video when I finally get one working, but after a few days of this (and seeing hundreds of websites with others having the same issue) I am wondering if anyone has ever got it working and what they did? This is just a pure install of centos 6, 'virtual host' package, command line, yum updated, able to make guests, no video options working for me. what is the magic command to bring up some of that gnome stuff for virt-manager or to just see the install window for a guest?? any help appreciated and most welcomed. Thanks.

PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so)
by Alexander Farber 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hello the logwatch from my CentOS 6 / 64 bit machine (minimal install, with permissive SELinux) keeps reporting me: **Unmatched Entries** PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so: 9 Time(s) PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so): /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory: 9 Time(s) I've found this bug report - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656434 But I'm not sure what's the best workaround for me - if I'm just running an Apache (Drupal) + PostgreSQL website? Should I install fprintd-pam (got that from "yum whatprovides") Thank you Alex

c6 xen guest install, golf, and geany
by Mark Pryor 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

List, Is it possible to do a text install (<512RAM) of C6 server, with support for X11 forwarding over ssh, and get geany (editor) to work over ssh? I got X11 forwarding to work when I have a full Xfce desktop, but not with a server setup. I would like to golf this... IOW find the minimum number of packages. Any hints or kickstart configs for the needy? -- Mark

pvresize on a cLVM
by Antonio da Silva Martins Junior 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi, I'm needing to expand a LUN on my EMC CX4-120 SAN. (Well I already had done it). On this LUN I had a PV of a cLVM VG. Know I need to run pvresize on it. Has anybody done this on a cLVM PV ? I'm trying to rescan the devices, but I can't "see" the new size. And, googling on it I can only find RHEL5.2 responses. Thanks in advance, Antonio. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.
