CentOS 6.0 chkconfig strange behavior
by Jerry Moore 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi, I'm noticing some strangeness with chkconfig on CentOS 6.0 and was looking for a bit of advice. It appears that chkconfig is re sequencing or re ordering the start priority of various services when turning on a service using chkconfig. Example is the network service. Under normal circumstances network is set to start at S10. However when I add something like snmpd and invoke chkconfig snmpd on it will change network to S81. Which fouls up some of my other services that look for config files on NFS shares. Testing this issue with the snmpd service I removed $network from Required-Start which did nothing. The only solution I've found is to remove the entire BEGIN INIT INFO to END INIT INFO section. Once that is removed it no longer changes the network startup priority when enabling the snmpd service. Seems to me that you'd want network started before snmpd. So why chkconfig wants to re arrange it to start after snmpd which defaults to S50 is beyond me. So why would it do that? Did I miss some documentation or something? :-) Thanks in advance for any assistance! --Jerry

ext4 in CentOS 5.6?
by PJ 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I'm sure many are running ext4 FS's in production, but just want to be re-assured that there are not currently any major issues before starting a new project that looks like it will be using ext4. I've previously been using xfs but the software for this project requires ext3/ext4. I'm always very cautious before jumping onto a new FS, (new in the sense it is officially supported now) Thanks in advance!

Re: [CentOS] nouveau driver one centos 6
by CS 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi, Jerry Try appending 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to the kernel line in grub.conf (and keep the blackist in modules.conf) - install CentOS and reboot as usual - preempt booting at the grub menu and append 'rdblacklist=nouveau 3' to the kernel line to disable nouveau and start up in init 3 - install the Nvidia binary driver. Optionally, do a yum upgrade, reboot back to init 3 and build the driver on the latest kernel - edit grub.conf and remove the '3' and reboot again Nouveau will now stop loading and use your nvidia driver cheers, - cal On 21/07/11 13:08, Jerry Geis wrote: > I "wish" to not load the or even install the nouveau driver by default. > I want to use the NVIDIA binary driver. > > I have tried a number of things: > > 1) in my kickstart package section add the line: > -xorg-x11-drv-nouveau > > This did not work - it was still installed. > > 2) use the nvidia installer and it asks to create a modprobe.conf file > to blacklist > the driver.

Strange problem with LVM, device-mapper, and software RAID...

Running on a up-to-date CentOS 5.6 x86_64 machine: [heller@ravel ~]$ uname -a Linux ravel.60villagedrive 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 15 07:31:24 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux with a TYAN Computer Corp S4881 motherboard, which has a nVidia 4 channel SATA controller. It also has a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SX7042 PCI-e 4-port SATA-II (rev 02). This machine has a 120G SATA system disk on the motherboard controller as the system disk: [heller@ravel ~]$ sudo /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 125 1004031 83 Linux /dev/sda2 126 14593 116214210 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda1 is /boot and /dev/sda2 is a LVM Volume group (named "RavelSystem") with two logical volumes (named "root" and "swap"), containing the root file system and a base 1G swap area.

package recommendation for video conferencing
by Geoff Galitz 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi. We have a need for a video conferencing package with the following specs: - cross platform client support (Linux, Mac, Win) - server side runs on Centos 5 and later with easy package installation routine (e.g. RPM) - can host a teleconfernce with no users connected (IOW, it can wait for users to connect at any time) - supports mulitple users per video conference Recommendations? Thanks.

Access denied false positive
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi there -- One of our servers is running the 5.3 32-bit release. When a user logs into the system via an SSH terminal connection, he first sees an "Access denied" message, and then gets a password prompt. He is able to enter the password, and log into the system without issue. It appears the error message is a false positive. A check of the messages and secure log files did not show anything apparent. What would cause this message to occur? The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

Hi Folks, I've installed gscan2pdf, tesseract, tesseract-de (for german language). But gscan2pdf offers only english as language for OCR (with tesseract selected for OCR-Engine). Where are "points " (config-files or so) to select german as language. Thx Timothy
