installing kde using up2date
by Jerry Geis 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hi, I have already installed 4.2 on my laptop, I only chose GNOME at install time. I now need to use up2date to install kde (I wish to install twinkle softphone). What is the correct way to do that. I did: up2date kde* up2date -u kde* up2date -i kde* It printed a listing of the packages but did not install them. Thanks, Jerry

Bother
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

This afternoon, after my fiasco with the other machine, I decided to bring the drive home and install it in the primary machine here, boot from the normal drive, then mount the 4.1 i386 drive so I could make changes and check things. What happened next was totally unexpected. After decompressing the kernel and starting the boot, there were all kinds of error messages scrolling off the screen, and so fast, I could not see what it was all about, but the boot halted at some point. After seeing that, I decided maybe it was not a good idea after all, but I'd done the same thing with an i386 version 3.5 with no problems. Is there some reason why I should not be able to boot from my normal drive, CentOS 4.2 x86_64, but still have the 4.1 i386 version on a secondary drive, even tho it was not automounted? Also, while on the subject, I found out that a FreeBSD drive is not mountable under Linux. It recognized the drive as a Sun ufs drive. Don't suppose there is any way around that problem is there?

Sendmail
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

I know this is a "generic" question, but fully CentOS related. I attempted to set up i386 v.4.1 on my primary computer at the co-located site, and thought I had everything squared away till I discovered the machine was refusing mail connections. AFIK, I had no firewall or other objects blocking port 25. It has been my experience that with most arch's and versions where sendmail is the stock mta, they always seem to work out of the box with no tweaking at all. I have got to get this set up but will do it on a test machine rather than the production machine. Between that prblem and the changes between bind 8 and 9, I was dead in the water from the outset. Back online with the BSD machine for the time being. Any reason why mail connections would be refused ? (yes sendmail was running too) Thanks.. Sam

Re: [CentOS] Putting nat routing into place permanently? -- service iptables save

Visibility aside, isn't rc.local much too late for setting up iptables? My /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ has an S08iptables and an S10network, then lots more, including an S99local, and then after all this, rc.local is run. By this time, the network has already been up. It seems to me that if you want to do some iptables setup, it must be done before S10network, or it leaves a short-time security hole. Personally, I set up the iptables I want and then do service iptables save If I was worried about changes, I guess I'd modify S08iptables to check that nothing has changed, or add an S07checkiptables script. (This is my first post to this mailing list, so I hope I've done it correctly.) -- Dale Dellutri

A BIG Thank You
by John Hinton 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Seeing the latest round of updates rolling in.... I just 'again' felt the need to say "Hats Off" (pun intended) to the CentOS team! The organization very much behind the scenes is not apparent, but very much must exist. It almost looks like there is an 'internal' competition between members, each trying to roll out the updates faster than the other. I know this must be a bit of a grueling task and one that interrupts the day's activities. Again, GREAT job folks!!! And a big THANKS!! John Hinton

samba in centosplus
by Farkas Levente 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

hi, it'd be useful to include the latest stable samba packages in the centosplus, since samba.org do not build binaries for rhel just for old redhat and fedora releases. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

multipath failover
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I got a chance to play a bit with new device-mapper-multipath. Unless I missed something obvios, docs seems to still be in the making. Could somebody point me to some docs for /etc/multipath.conf file? Couple of questions (I have very limited time I'll have access to hardware, sorry if I'm asking some obvious stuff). I managed to get things working by typing "multipath" from command line (the device in /dev/mapper created and working OK). However if I start using the device (create file system, mount it, do some I/O on it), and than unplug active path, after short delay I get failover to secondary path. However, by that time ext3 device driver decides something went wrong with the journal, and file system goes to read-only mode. I can unmount it and mount it again rw, but, hm, that's not why I have multiple paths. Any way around this? Is it possible to have root file system on multipathed device? Asking for support for that in Anaconda is probably too much to ask, but is it possible to do it by little manual work? Many many thanks for any followups, Aleksandar Milivojevic ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Fwd: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3
by James Olin Oden 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

If anyone would like to help test the latest RPM on Centos 3, heres your chance. There are several new features that are not mentioned in Jeff's email, but as he said he wants to make sure it does no harm more than anything else. As an example though, this version supports: - runtime depedency checking (think of being able to have cpan modules that weren't installed by rpm being detected, or crazy dependency like requires a particular processor of a particular stepping). - autorollback patches are worked in (this is still in progress and experimental, but, 4.4.3 will be the first official release of rpm with the latest autorollback code). There are other features add also, and of course many fixes. Cheers and Enjoy...james ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Johnson <jbj(a)jbj.org> Date: Nov 3, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3 To: RPM internals development and distro coordination <rpm-devel(a)lists.dulug.duke.edu> I've compiled rpm-4.4.3-0.34 against CenTOS3. There is a yum repository with the necessary packages at http://wraptastic.org/pub/i386-CentOS3-linux/RPMS Note that these packages are compiled with --with-mutex=UNIX/fcntl. If you are wrestling with NPTL issues and rpm databases, then these packages will almost certainly help. Also note that I firmly believe that NPTL -- with unified thread and process locks -- is the best and most general choice for rpmdb locking. There are still uses for fcntl locking with, say, build trees for - NPTL legacy linux systesm, like rpmforge, and perhaps others, are doing, where fcntl locking is a far saner choice than posix mutexes because of the mixed +/-NPTL environment. Any/all help checking the CentOS3 rpm-4.4.3-0.34 is appreciated. I'm mainly interested in verifying rpm-4.4.3-0.34 does no harm. on CentOS3 (and RHL9) rather than testing of new features. Report bugs (and successes please ;-) at http://bugzilla.redhat.com or here on rpm-devel list. Enjoy! 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ Rpm-devel mailing list Rpm-devel(a)lists.dulug.duke.edu https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/rpm-devel
