Gimp PDF plugin - Centos 5
by Frank Cox 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Gimp on Centos 5 has somehow lost its ability to load a pdf file on three (i386) different computers. I'm pretty sure that this used to work. When I try to load a PDF file I get the initial box titled "Load Postscript" with rendering and antialiasing options, but when I hit OK I get an error message: Opening "filename" failed: Plug-In could not open image." Comparing between Centos 5 and Centos 6 I see that I have a file named file-pdf in the gimp plugins directory on Centos 6 x86_64 (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins) but that file is not preset on the Centos 5 boxes.. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

Question about CentOS 6 installation setup
by Mark 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

When I created a CentOS VM (using VMWare WorkStation), I installed with the first DVD, and the disk partitioning and installation was all done automatically with almost no input required from me. The problem with this is that the /boot partition was too small (under 50MB) and I couldn't update the kernel (it blew out with a grubby error, which I did not recognize - separate thread on that). Is this a manifestation of using VMWare for the VM platform, or is this "normal" for a 6.0 installation or what? Thanks in advance.

RADIUS Questions
by Dan 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

I've been running FreeRadius 2 on Centos 5.5 for a while now. So far so good. I'm now looking to make connecting to our WPA secured wireless easier. The RADIUS server is running in a VM and since the system is in use I have copied the original and used that copy to create a test environment. I have run through all system updates and have upgraded all relevant packages. The test system is at 5.6 now. Currently with Windows machines I can't just connect to the SSID and enter in a username and password. I have to go and manually add the SSID, modify some settings; specifically turning off validating server certificate, turning off automatically use my Windows login, and turning on User or computer authentication mode. We also have some OS X clients. Fortunately connecting via OS X is easier. The catch is that I have to join the machine to our domain. After that it's pretty much username and password, and they are on. Ideally I would like to have a simple "connect to this SSID, enter your username and password and that's it" solution and still have all requests checked against our Active Directory server. On a side note. I'm going through my settings trying to get this working more smoothly and I ran across: wbinfo --a user%password (yes I'm adding in my username and pass) plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (0xc0000022) error messsage was: winbind client not authorized to use winbindd_pam_auth_crap. Ensure permissions on /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged are set correctly. Could not authenticate user MYUSERNAME with challenge/response I know the 2 error lines are permissions related. I'm not sure what the permissions should be on this file/folder. Can someone let me know this? The tutorial from FreeRadius says that I should get output similar to: plaintext password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER (0xc0000064) error message was: No such user Could not authenticate user CHSchwartz%mypassword with plaintext password Yet ntlm_auth --request-nt-key --domain=MYDOMAIN --username=MYUSERNAME NT_STATUS_OK: Success (0x0) So the Auth is working. I don't understand though why my AD server is letting cleartext passwords through. It shouldn't right? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dan <http://www.liai.org> <http://www.liai.org>

Upgrading from CentOS 5.6 to 6.0
by Thomas Dukes 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Help! Just ran the installation DVD but there is no option to 'upgrade'. Looked at the RHEL docs, http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installati on_Guide/ch-guimode-x86.html#id4594292 referenced off the CentOS Release notes but the CentOS installation doesn't offer the 'upgrade'. I use to be able to upgrade by doing a 'yum update'. That doesn't work either. Guess I'm stuck with 5.6 as I an not about to install a new version and have to rebuild all non-rpm packages from scratch. This is worse than Microsoft!!

centos 6 gdm.custom auto login
by Jerry Geis 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Under centos 5 I modified /etc/gdm/custom.conf to auto login with the following: [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=myuser TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=myuser TimedLoginDelay=0 This doesnt seem to work in Centos 6. What is the new way to accomplish auto login under X11. Thanks, Jerry

tabs in emacs fundamental mode?
by Devin Reade 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

I'm noticing that under CentOS 6, emacs fundamental mode is no longer inserting tabs at factor-of-8 tabstops, but rather is doing some funky guess-the-intended-tab-distance thing like text mode has done for a while, currently using three spaces per tab key. Has anyone tracked down where this was changed and, more to the point, how to get the old CentOS 5 behavior back? FWIW, I'm invoking it as "emacs -nw filename". LANG is "C".

nfsv4 and kerberos - fails to mount
by Rob Kampen 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

I have been trying all sorts of things to get this working. nfsv4 works fine if I just use the nfs-v3 form of export i.e. /nfs4exports 192.168.230.237/24(ro,fsid=0,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,squash_uids=0-99) /nfs4exports/NDG 192.168.230.237/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,nohide,sync,no_root_squash,squash_uids=0-99) but this is inherently open to all on this machine. so then using this recipe http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/kerberos-authentication-with-nf… and many others that hours of google foo shows change exports to /nfs4exports gss/krb5(ro,fsid=0,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,squash_uids=0-99) /nfs4exports/NDG gss/krb5(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,nohide,sync,no_root_squash,squash_uids=0-99) now from the client I can see [rkampen@timsws ~]$ showmount -e example.com Export list for example.com: /nfs4exports gss/krb5 /nfs4exports/NDG gss/krb5 but [rkampen@timsws /]$ sudo mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 ndgonline.net:/ /NDG/ mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting ndgonline.net:/ and [rkampen@timsws /]$ sudo mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 ndgonline.net:/NDG /NDG/ mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting ndgonline.net:/NDG And I cannot find any log entries relating to the kerberos KDC or on the nfs server - two different machines. I have set up all the principals in the KDC and used kadmin/ktadd to load into the client and the server /etc/krb5.keytab as per the above url. How and where do I get logging to occur so I can find out the missing piece in my kerberos setup? Any help or directions appreciated. TIA
