booting from copied ext3 software raid fs to normal fs
by dan1 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hello. I am trying to boot CentOS 4 from a copy of an ext3 software RAID 1 filesystem (md) which has been copied to a normal ext3 filesystem (hd). I am almost getting there, exept that the system hangs after booting the kernel. I copied the datas from the /boot and / partitions to two similar partitions on the backuped disk with mirrordir (can also be done with cp or dd). I have setup the new disk with grub and I can reach the grub stage 2. It will also boot the kernel properly, but it will hang during the SElinux initialisation (which is disabled). I don't know exactly if it's a mount or SElinux problem. Also, it seems that the raid device is trying to be initialised, and I don't have an md but an hd on that drive. This comes probably from the original setup. My question is: does somebody know how I can change that behaviour and let linux mount the hd instead of the md coming from the original ? Do I need to boot another vmlinuz image or another initrd for it to work properly ? In this case, how could I generate those new images ? The output of the boot sequence is the following: Mounting sysfs Creating /dev Starting udev Loading raid1.ko module md: raid1 personnality registered as nr 3 Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. Creating root device Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root SElinux: Disabled at runtime SElinux: Unregistering netfilter hooks Then, it hangs here undefinitely. Here is my menu.lst grub file on the backup disk I want to boot from: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.9-11.106.unsupported) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported.img Here is it's fstab: none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Any help is greatly appreciated.

applets reported as dying unexpectedy on login
by Tony 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Ever since the xorg-x11 security update of September 13th, I often see the following 3 messages on login: The "Show Desktop" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? The "Window List" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? The "Workspace Switcher" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? Answering yes to all 3 keeps things ticking along happily- but it's not good for my users to see this as they have just about got the hang of answering 'no' by default when an o/s pops up some unexpected question that they don't understand. I'm seeing this across quite a wide range of i386 machines - from 1GHz pIII's authenticating by LDAP to a standalone 3200+ Athlon at a completely different location. I assume this is either an upstream bug, or a consistent misconfiguration on my part. Is anyone else seeing it, or does anyone have any suggestions? -- Cheers, Tony

C4 - mod_authz_ldap - weird behavoir
by Petr Klíma 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

hi I have problem with mod_authz_ldap with this setup: <Directory /var/www/html/weby_2005> AuthzLDAPServer "ldap:389" AuthzLDAPUserBase dc=group,dc=cz AuthzLDAPBindDN uid=ds,ou=People,dc=group,dc=cz AuthzLDAPBindPassword XXXXX AuthzLDAPUserKey uid AuthzLDAPUserScope subtree AuthzLDAPLogLevel debug # needed for user auth AuthzLDAPMethod ldap # needed for group auth AuthzLDAPMethod ldap AuthzLDAPGroupBase ou=Groups,dc=group,dc=cz AuthzLDAPGroupKey cn # map users to the uid uid for membership checking AuthzLDAPMapUserToAttr uid AuthzLDAPSetGroupAuth map # this means that the memberUid attribute must match the uid # (which is the result of the map operation) AuthzLDAPMemberKey memberUid AuthType basic AuthName "Katalog" <Limit GET POST> deny from all allow from all #require user klima require valid-user #require group wprgs </Limit> </Directory> When I use "require valid-user" or "require group wprgs" it works perfectly (I can login with username "klima", but "require user klima" it replies "Forbidden". What is weird that it ask for password one time and then just shows "Forbiden" ... When I changed setting of Apache and reload it logs without asking passwd ... (it looks like "Iam loged but cannot login") -- Petr Klíma e-mail: qaxi(a)seznam.cz

It should run i386 code all-the-same. That what I thought. But KnoppMyth and CentOS4 i386 *both* repeatedly hung during the install process. x86_64 installed without a single hiccup. >>Thus, my plan B is going with CentOS4 x86_64 >>and installing from the ATrpms collection. > > > Be careful in going to a native x86-64.

All I know is ATrpms has a full set of MythTV el4.x86_64 packages and they all installed without complaint. ((now lets see if they run...)) >>- I picked up a cheap Radeon 7000 with TV out.

That's good to know. But after chatting with Scot here, I'm going to use the TV out on the PVR-350 that's installed.

up2date upgrade-to-release question
by Alexandru E. Ungur 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anybody did a # up2date --upgrade-to-release=4.1 on CentOS 3.5 box? I did it and I'm having a bit of problems. The box just dies... at intervals between half a day and a couple of days. Initially I considered it was a hw problem, so I had the tech support check it out, and they just switched the box with another, and put the harddisks back on the new box... Unfortunately the dying problem remaind so that's why I started considering that maybe something other that hw could be the problem. So did anybody on the list do such an upgrade, and was it all 100% ok ? TIA, Alex

Programmer types

This may be a tad O.T., but I have to ask somebody. In compiling WRF model, everything seems to build but at runtime, I get this error message: real.exe: /usr/pgi/linux86-64/6.0/lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.3' not found (required by /lib64/tls/librt.so.1) There appears to be something missing from the library, but not being smart enough to know what each one provides, nor know how to look at it, I'd sure like some pointers if anyone cares to help. If you need more info, I'd be happy to go offnet with it. Sam -- Snowman

RE: [CentOS] Favorite KVM for linux?

Belkin OmniView SE 4-port has one aggravating attribute: can't switch in less than 1500ms. Pressing the scan button faster than this is ignored, whereas I want to switch NOW. Performance is flawless beyond this. Other (rare) problems come from system software not seeing a mouse, then seeing one. If the mouse isn't seen during boot-up, I must run kudzu manually to get it seen. The system that has the least problem (meaning never has a problem at all) with the magic disappearing/reappearing mouse is Windows xp pro. *sigh* Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner(a)gai-tronics.com (610)796-5838 >>> mike(a)CamaroSS.net 09/25/05 05:09PM >>> centos-bounces(a)centos.org <> scribbled on Sunday, September 25, 2005 4:00 PM: > On Sun, 2005-09-25 at 14:28, Ryan Lum wrote: >> What KVMs do you use?
