new kernel = no working sound
by Iulian L Dragomir 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

After updating my laptop ( compaq 6820s) to Centos 5.6 the sound is gone. The sound card is still detected but there is no sound from speaker Vendor: Intel Corporation Model: 82810H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller Module: snd-hda-intel On the same updated laptop the sound is working fine with an older kernel ( 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plus ) I tried with no success ( sound related ) booting all of the following: kernel#2.6.18-238.el5 kernel#2.6.18-238.el5.centos.plus kernel#2.6.18-238.1.1.el5 kernel#2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.centos.plus kernel#2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 kernel#2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.centos.plus This is a nonworking scsconfig.log: http://pastebin.com/XW9e72Jj The sound is working fine with the following kernels: kernel#2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.centos.plus kernel#2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plus and all the older This is a working scsconfig.log: http://pastebin.com/xqdMra5q Centos was installed on this laptop in 2007 and everything worked ok till now. Googling around produced some results but none of them have a working solution This email is my second email to the list on the same subject. The first email is probably stuck in lalaland due to my poor judgment and due to the logs attached. Please excuse me if both of them reach you. Can anyone suggest a solution or a path to follow ? Thanks in advance, Iulian L. Dragomir

Centos 5.6 and httpd
by Gregory P. Ennis 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

A problem with httpd on 5.6 I have three Centos machines that were automatically upgraded from 5.5. to 5.6. Everything appears to be running perfect except httpd had stopped delivering web service on all three machines. I did a cursive look to see if there had been a reported bug and found : http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4796 When I changed : chown root.apache /etc/httpd/alias/*.db chmod 0640 /etc/httpd/alias/*.db The problem was fixed on all three machines.

(Sorry for the pun, I think I'm mostly talking > to Tom ;-) I cannot speak for the other Tom but in my case I rebuild the centos-release rpm and add my own repo files so that all of my machines pull from my local repos. Yes, I know that the modified repo files do not get overwritten but that does not help for new machines nor does it help when I change my local configuration. When I rebuild the centos-release rpm I actually modify it so that a new version of the rpm overwrites any existing .repo files. That way I know all of the machines under my control are only pulling updates I have approved and placed into my local repos. It would be nice if this srpm was released with the main distro. Rebuilding other packages can come later when all of the srpms are available but this particular package is important for me being able to update the machines. In fact I usually end up hacking up the first cut of the centos-release rpm for a new release based on the previous version (in this case 5.5) so that I can do my upgrades. It is not all that hard to do but it would be easier if I had the official srpm. Regards, -- Tom Diehl

Re: [CentOS] A round of applause!

Yes, well put, I second that! Thanks to all dev's. As I said earlier on the release date, all your efforts are greatly appreciated Aly ------Original Message------ From: Chuck Munro Sender: centos-bounces(a)centos.org To: CentOS Mailing List ReplyTo: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] A round of applause! Sent: Apr 10, 2011 12:39 PM 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!

iscsi-initiator-utils required in 5.6, loads uneeded modules
by Stephen Harris 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

I just updated one of my virtual hosts to 5.6 and on rebooted I spotted an error about iscsi. Which surprised me, since I don't use iscsi. Yet there it is... % rpm -qf /etc/init.d/iscsi iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-6.el5 And they're configured to start iscsi 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iscsid 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off And I can't remove it % rpm -e iscsi-initiator-utils error: Failed dependencies: iscsi-initiator-utils is needed by (installed) mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-68.el5.i386 A physical machine still on 5.5 doesn't have iscsi % rpm -qa '*iscsi*' % ls /etc/init.d/*iscsi* /bin/ls: /etc/init.d/*iscsi*: No such file or directory It appears that yum did, indeed, install this: % grep iscsi /var/log/yum.log Apr 10 09:24:30 Installed: iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-6.el5.i386 The "fix" is to chkconfig off the iscsi and iscsid rc scripts. This is a good idea, 'cos these scripts modprobe unnecessary modules. -- rgds Stephen

PCI-X/PCIe RAID controller.
by Drew 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Afternoon, I've got an old Dell PERC 4DC (PCI 64bit/33MHz) sitting in my home rig and with a new board on the way that has PCI-X (133) and PCIe (x4) slots, I was wondering what people would recommend for a cheap hardware parallel SCSI RAID controller (no fake raid please) that is relatively cheap but faster then the old PERC? I'm looking for something cheap that'll do RAID-10 but bonus points if it does RAID-5/6. :-) -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood." --Marie Curie

CentOS ToDo Item - For the Wiki - Hosting Control Panels - Help?
by Mister IT Guru 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Dear List, I've taken a look at the TODO page http://wiki.centos.org/ToDo and I've picked something at random to ask a question about and see if we can get it done! "Add page for Hosting control panels - we seem to get a lot of people asking about them" I spotted this quote - What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that people want instructions on how to install some sort of web based admin panel? Or that they want one to be part of the distro as standard? RHEL doesn't have one (AFAIK) - so, I'm a bit lost as to what this means. Either way, our TODO page is too long, and I'm determined to blank it out. My aim, is to get some traction on this, so we can remove it from the ToDo page. So, I guess we can start with a clear definition of the requirement, and then move on from there. Discuss :)

virDomainSetMaxMemory error
by Russell Jones 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

CentOS 5.6, x86_64 In Virt-Manager, when attempting to either change a guest's memory allocation or even just clicking "Apply" on the memory tab and not actually changing the values, the following error pops up: "Error changing memory values: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virDomainSetMaxMemory" When Googling around, I am finding reports of this error as early as two days ago, and as late as a year ago. Is there an option in KVM/Virt-Manager I am missing in order to resolve this problem, or is this bug really over a year old and not fixed in CentOS 5.6?

CentOS-5.5 Live CD & netinstall
by Timothy Murphy 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

According to <http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.5> "There is a "Network Install" option on the Live CD that is the same as our CentOS-5.5-i386-netinstall ISO". I've looked quite carefully at my CentOS-5.5 Live CD (on a USB stick), and I don't see a Network Install option anywhere. Could some kind soul explain where it can be found, please. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
