I want to install smarmontools v 5.40, and so I pulled the SRPM for 5.39 so I could patch and install... $ wget -Nc ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/s… However, the install of the source fails. $ rpm -ivh smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm warning: smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID fd431d51 1:smartmontools warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home/jmccarty/devtools/RebuildRPM/build/SOURCES/smartd.initd;4d39deaa: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch Is the SRPM corrupted? I've pulled a few from other places for other versions (like Fedora) from pbone, and they all have this problem. Any hints available?

Ok. It's a Firefox Add-on: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere Questions: 1) But: Why can't i find it on the offical Firefox Add-ons site?: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ 2) Did anyone audited the "HTTPS Everywhere" code? 3) Can someone trust this Add-on? Is it safe to install/use? 4) If it's so great why isn't it more prevalent? What's youre opinion? Or answer? :\ Thanks!

looking for a package
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Jan '11

I'm trying to update a workstation, and it wants to update mpeg2-utils. But that has a dependency of libmpeg2-0.5.1-3, for i386. epel doesn't have it, and I tried looking on rpmfusion.org, and I can only find a very few packages there. Anyone have an idea which of the regular repositories carries libmpeg2? mark

oprofile problem in centos with custom kernel
by Yannis Klonatos 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi! I am trying to profile my custom 2.6.37 linux kernel with oprofile in centos 5.5, and i have encountered the following problem. (Before everyone starts shouting, I know that custom kernels are not supported by centos team, however I really need to run a modified version, due to a project concerning my MSc thesis. So i hope for your understanding :-) . I have build the kernel with the following flags: CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y CONFIG_OPROFILE=y # CONFIG_OPROFILE_EVENT_MULTIPLEX is not set CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y CONFIG_KPROBES=y CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES=y CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT=y CONFIG_SAMPLE_KPROBES=m under various suggestions i have googled in the net. I run oprofile using the following instructions: #!/bin/bash rm oprof_output.txt /usr/bin/opcontrol --init /usr/bin/opcontrol --setup --event=CPU_CLK_UNHALTED:100000:0:1:1 --vmlinux /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.37/vmlinux /usr/bin/opcontrol --reset /usr/bin/opcontrol --start /usr/bin/opcontrol --stop /usr/bin/opcontrol --dump /usr/bin/opreport -f -a -l --symbols --image-path=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel >> oprof_output.txt My problem is that the output reported by a simple run contains many of the following lines 304 304 26.0051 26.0051 /vmlinux-unknown /vmlinux-unknown /vmlinux-unknown 186 490 15.9110 41.9162 /vmlinux-unknown /bin/bash /vmlinux-unknown any idea or suggestion as how to resolve the vmlinux-unknown problem? I would gladly provide any other information you may need. Thanks in advance, Yannis

20 Jan '11

Hi All I am investigating an Apache change I was told about that involved adding apache22_http_accept_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, but I don't think this exists on CentOS 5. Can anyone help me decide where to make this change? -Jason
