ATI, Catalyst and a new kernel
by Robert 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

Please bear with me for a really stupid question... I have a Radeon HD 4550 video card and currently run the Catalyst driver, fglrx_6_9_0-8.741-1. I use the "package managed" method for installing, allowing me keep track of what's what: [rj@madeleine ~]$ su Password: [root@madeleine rj]# grep fglrx /var/log/yum* /var/log/yum.log:May 20 12:37:07 Updated: fglrx_6_9_0-8.723-1.i386 /var/log/yum.log:Jul 25 13:04:49 Erased: fglrx_6_9_0 /var/log/yum.log:Jul 25 13:33:11 Installed: fglrx_6_9_0-8.741-1.i386 [root@madeleine rj]# exit exit [rj@madeleine ~]$ So, my question is, must/should I rebuild the driver each time I install an updated kernel or is it sufficient to "yum remove fglrx_6_9_0-8.741-1", update the kernel and (maybe) glibc, then "yum localinstall $(locate i386/fglrx_6_9_0-8.741-1.i386.rpm)" ? If anyone wonders why I don't simply stick with the generic driver, the fglrx driver makes a WORLD of difference with Googleearth. Thanks!

Hi folks, Anyone know the whereabouts of libgtkembedmoz.so()(64bit) as it is needed by miro-1.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) I tried a whatprovides and have looked at epel as well as rpmforge - no luck. While I'm asking, I'm looking for an internet HD TV viewer - miro looked interesting - any other products you know of? TIA Rob

Backing up pass words
by Todd Cary 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

I am currently running CentOS 4 and want to install CentOS 5. To do that, I plan to install a new HD in my server box onto which CentOS will be installed. I will then copy the "home" directory from the old drive or from a backup on a USB drive, however I am not sure how to handle the Users/Passwords from the old installation. Many thanks...

Set default file/dir permissions?
by Tim Nelson 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Greetings all- I have a system running CentOS 5.5 x86_64. It's serving NFS for several 'frontend' boxes in a web application setup. All data is stored in specific dir but written by different users. When the webapp attempts to read this information, it may or may not have permissions to this data. What I'd like to do is set 'default permissions' on the data storage directory (lets call this /var/appdata) so that any file or directory created under this is assigned a default set of permissions, and if possible, ownership. I've looked at and tested umask but it only seems to allow/disallow specific permissions, not force permissions. Am I missing something? How can I force all files/dirs created under a specific directory to have the permissions (and ownership if possible) that I specify? Thanks! Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.

Is oprofile still working?
by Hywel Richards 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi all, Is anyone using oprofile? I'm getting segfaults from opreport at the moment, and I'm not sure if it is opreport, or just me. In case it is something just plain daft I am doing, here is how it goes: opcontrol --reset opcontrol --setup --no-vmlinux opcontrol --start ... now I run my program, /tmp/myprog ... opcontrol --dump opcontrol --shutdown then I run, opreport -l /tmp/myprog and get: warning: [vdso] (tgid:4780 range:0x8d7000-0x8d8000) could not be found. warning: [vdso] (tgid:4784 range:0x860000-0x861000) could not be found. CPU: Core Solo / Duo, speed 1067 MHz (estimated) Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Unhalted clock cycles) with a unit mask of 0x00 (Unhalted core cycles) count 100000 Segmentation fault The problem seems to come when I ask for symbols (-l). I can't seem to get much information out of other running programs either. I'm running the opcontrol commands as root, and I've tried opreport as root or myself. I'm sure I have done this successfully in the past (but this is the first time I have tried it in a while). I have what should be a fully patched CentOS 5.5 here. I see this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529028 , but it looks to be too old to be relevant (I notice I have the updated binutils that the final link in the bugreport points to). I've tried this on two different machines, but they are similar configurations I guess in that they are both 32bit intel machines. Hywel.

CENTOS DHCP Server and windows computer/host name ISSUE
by linux-crazy 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi list, We are running few Centos5.4 and windows 2003 instance on CENTOS XEN virtualized environment , all the guest are getting the IP/NETWORK/GATEWAY setting from the DHCP Server running on CENTOS 5 server and the DNS configured on the windows 2003 server. All of the CENTOS Guests are getting the IP and the host name as per the DNS forward look up configured. For example If the CENTOS guest1 get x.y.z.1 as an IP and it gets the host name as machine1.example.com and so on . But none of the windows guest is getting the hostname or computer name from the DHCP server even though its getting the ip from the centos DHCP server properly , instead all the windows guest are setting up the hostname or computername as ORGNAME-withsomenumbers . eg: techsoft-342156 as a computer name . See at present we are not doing any static mapping of IP/HOSTNAME based on windows GUEST MAC address. So statically mapping the hostname/ip with guest MAC address is out of question now. Is there is any configuration to be tuned on dhcpd.conf or any files or parameter to be tuned on windows 2003 guests to get the hostname from the DHCP/DNS . i heard about some option like "*dhcpd opt 12*" on windows regisrty level will do the job , But am blank how to get things done . Also is there is a way to tune CENTOS DHCP Server to lease the ip to the dhcp client in uniform order rather it leases randomly . If any one throws me some light on how to get this done it will be really great full for me . Regards, Lingu

Help with Linux offline cached credentials on a Windows domain
by Scott Ehrlich 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

I have modified the native config files both Ubuntu and CentOS systems (laptops) to allow them to be added to a genuine Windows Active Directory domain. When on the network logins work fine. Take the systems off the network, and the user, even though their credentials are cached, cannot log in. There are several documented bugs on this for both Ubuntu and RedHat. Some people have posted various fixes. I tried one, the user was able to log in offline, but then could no longer log back into the network. Insights would be most appreciated. I plan to set up a test system to try various of fixes until I either a) find something that works; b) determine the problem still needs fixing with no known good solution yet found. Thanks. Scott
