A round of applause!
by Chuck Munro 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hello All, Just a short note to add my vote for a HUGE round of applause to the CentOS team for their untiring efforts in getting releases out the door. I've just upgraded several servers to 5.6 and it all "just works". None of the team's work is easy to accomplish, especially when less-than-useful complaints keep popping up from thoughtless users who don't appreciate the effort, and who waste the team's time trying to respond. RedHat's move to defend their support business against the freeloading distro vendors (we all know who those sharks are!) wasn't aimed at CentOS, but it has significantly increased the workload the team faces. Let's be patient and let them get the job done. Kudos to the CentOS team! Chuck

firefox slow on 5.6
by Jerry Geis 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

I have updated to 5.6 - GREAT job guys... when I do "host slashdot.org" for example it comes back immediately. when I enter slashdot.org on firefox it says "Looking up slashdot.org" for a LONG time like 15 or 20 seconds before continuing. I have set network.dns.disableIPv6 true. Any idea why firefox is so slow? Jerry

Webalizer and GeoIP?
by Marko Vojinovic 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

I have a small problem with webalizer. I use it to analyze logs of a small web server hosting a single site, and the only thing I am interested in from webalizer is the piechart diagram it produces about the geographic distribution of people visiting the site. However, the piechart it produces gives me a very crude information, with 50% or so of visitors belonging to "unresolved", some to .net, some to .com and some country-specific. For an example, you can take a look at http://sith.ipb.ac.rs/webal/usage_201103.html#TOPCTRYS I would like some more fine-grained diagram, at least in the "unresolved" part. Am I missing something, or is this really as good as it gets? I have the GeoIP and GeoIP-data packages installed, but they don't seem to do anything. I looked up the /etc/webalizer.conf file, but there seems to be no relevant settings to tweak. I've even read the webalizer man page ;-) , but failed to find anything related. Using google produced (among other things) this how-to: http://www.lifelinux.com/how-to-install-webalizer-on-centos/ but that is for CentOS 5.4, it is written by an unknown source and suggests I should recompile webalizer and GeoIP from source, which is not the "proper" way to do it, I guess. This is all on a freshly updated CentOS 5.6. :-) I'd appreciate any pointers. TIA, :-) Marko

ext4 support in anaconda?
by Rainer Traut 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi, it looks like, I cannot format a partition as ext4 while install. I thought upstream has ext4 fully supported in 5.6? I looked in release notes but only found reference to ext4 in RHEL5.6 My install is netinstall.iso 64bit release 5.6 as Virtualbox VM. Thx Rainer

Merging Install DVDs on a PXE server
by Digimer 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi all, Probably a simple question, but, I'd like to merge both install DVDs into one directory on my PXE server. Obviously I will need to copy all of the files, but do I need to cast a magical incantation to recreate .discinfo, .treeinfo, etc? Thanks! -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer(a)alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org

How to verify all dependencies are being met
by Stephen Harris 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

I've taken over a CentOS machine. The previous SA had a habit of using the --nodeps flag to rpm to remove packages (he was trying to build a small server and removed packages he felt weren't needed). I have a horrible feeling that this has resulted in some required dependencies no longer being met. The server kinda-works, but it may break in unexpected ways; I don't like being surprised! Is there an easy way to determine what rpms might be missing? I'd hoped to use something like "rpm -qR" against each of the installed packages, but that output isn't simply converted to rpm package names. Any guidance appreciated! Thanks, -- rgds Stephen

Usb surf stick for internet
by Olaf Mueller 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hello, I am searching for an internet usb surf-stick (umts) that works under CentOS. Is anyone using such a stick and if so, which chip has this usb-stick? Would a Huawei E160E chip work under CentOS? Or maybe under CentOS with the 2.6.35 kernel from elrepo? Thank you very much! regards Olaf
