CentOS 5.10: Upgrading from IUS's php52 to CentOS's php53 questions
by Robert Heller 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

I would like to update one of the websites on my server from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 3.2, but it wants PHP 5.3. I am currently using IUS's php52 5.2.17, which is fine for the Joomla 1.5 and the various WordPress sites (up to 3.9) currently served on this server. I plan to test the update procedure on my home (test) system (a pretty much identically setup system) before possible breaking my public/production server, but wanted to get the 'wisdom' of the centos user-list: are there any gotchas I need to watch for. I presently have installed: php52-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-devel-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-odbc-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-gd-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-common-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-mysql-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-ncurses-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-ldap-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-dba-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-mbstring-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-snmp-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-xmlrpc-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-pdo-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-cli-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-pear-1.9.4-1.ius.el5 php52-xml-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-imap-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

Normalizing WAV files
by Mark LaPierre 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hey all, I've been googling trying to find a tool that I can use to normalize a directory full of WAV files. I found a reference to normalize in the atrpms repo but it wants to clobber several of the base rpms. Does anyone know of a tool in CentOS 6 that can normalize a directory full of WAV files that I can install without hosing up my system? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

backuppc problem
by Derrik Walker v2.0 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

I've installed backuppc from the EPEL repository. It does backups just fine, BUT, when the backups are done, the status on the web page says there are no backups for any of my systems I'm backing up. To be sure, they are taking up disk space, but it's just not reporting it correctly to the admin web interface. I'm thinking I'm missing some package I need, but am not sure exactly what. Any ideas? Thanks. - Derrik

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CentOS] Motion Detecting Camera From: Leslie S Satenstein <lsatenstein(a)yahoo.com> Date: Sat, February 01, 2014 7:27 am To: "centos(a)centos.org" <centos(a)centos.org> mark wrote With the continuing annoyance from motion, my manager's asked me to go looking again for a video surveillance appliance: basically, a motion-detecting DVR and cameras. The big thing, of course, is a) price (this is a US federal gov't agency, and being civilian, money is *tight*, don't give me the libertarian/GOP line about how freely we spend, thankyouverymuch), b) it has to be on the network, and c) we need to be able to d/l to a server, and rm after we do that... and we want to script or cron job that. I was in Costco (USA warehouse store) and saw a Philips LED display, Camera, Recorder, that was motorized. The camera followed the movement across the front of it, and could snapshot to a memory chip. It was under $80.00 for the ensemble. The floor model worked well. If you do not require realtime recording to a hard disk, then this item may be a reasonable cost solution.

Kernel panic when booting into FIPS mode
by Dale Harris 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Sorry if you see this twice, I may have goofed: Hey, So I was playing around with trying to get a CentOS 6.5 system FIPS-140 complaint. However, my system panics because it cannot find the hmac file associated with my kernel. It's basically as what is going on is described in this bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805538 The /sbin/fips.sh script in the initramfs there is a bit of code: if ! [ -e "/boot/.vmlinuz-${KERNEL}.hmac" ]; then warn "/boot/.vmlinuz-${KERNEL}.hmac does not exist" return 1 fi But that file does exist on the system. I guess the initramfs may not see the /boot directory on the system? Or is it trying to look for /boot inside the initramfs? If so that would explain my problem. I haven't verified any of this yet. But seems like /boot ought to be mounted for the system... anyone know of a fix for this? -- Dale Harris rodmur(a)maybe.org rodmur(a)gmail.com /.-)

CentOS 6 mount of ntfs formatted usb stick fails
by Rob Kampen 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I recently received an 8GB usb stick that fails to mount on my fully patched CentOS 6.5 desktop machine. The stick works just fine on a windoze 7 laptop (my daughter's) with no special drivers installed. fdisk -l /dev/sdf gives the following: Disk /dev/sdf: 8004 MB, 8004829184 bytes 102 heads, 38 sectors/track, 4033 cylinders Units = cylinders of 3876 * 512 = 1984512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdf1 3 4034 7813184 7 HPFS/NTFS mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf1 /mnt/usb gives: NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdf1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdf1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? as does mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf /mnt/usb NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdf': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdf' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? I have the following installed: ntfs-3g-2011.4.12-5.el6.x86_64 ntfsprogs-2011.4.12-5.el6.x86_64 Has there been a change to the NTFS system with the advent of windoze 8.0/8.1?? Any help appreciated.

Problem with blades that wont kickstart
by Dan Hyatt 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

About 15% of my blades wont kickstart. I checked to see, and they all seem to be 100% compatible. I currently do not own/direct access the kickstart server, I will build one later. Is it possible they fat fingered the MAC address of the problem blades when they put them into the PXE server? As I can build them from a locally mounted virtual CD, but cannot build from PXE At first I was getting a grub error. When I installed a baseline Centos locally, and then pxe booted for the build. I got a cannot find C0T0 which indicates it cannot find the first drive (kickstart uses sda1), yet I look in the drac and I can see C0T0 drive as well as C0t1 drive (this is a raid 1 virtual drive no mirror) So here is my big question: can I put my primary drive in slot sda2 on the blade... then DD the drive from the working blade, change the MAC address in the network interface, change the hostname/IP address in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth0 to build the drives? What are the risks? what are the gotcha's? what problems will I have DD ing a drive that is currently the boot drive? Any suggestions are welcome -- Dan Hyatt

cannot kickstart centos 6 on Dell Blade error cannot find c0t0
by Dan Hyatt 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

I have an intermittent problem with my Dell blades, out of 80 blades 69 of them kickstarted Centos 6 fine using PXE The other 11, I get a c0t0 not found error (indicating it is not finding the local disk on the blade). I can remote mount the iso image and do a basic install of centos on these blades, but when I go to do a pxe boot it gives me that error again. I have googled the issue and come up empty handed. Dell told us to install centos 6 minimal ISO then pxe install the server. This has been unsuccessful. I get the local ISO to install but the pxe fails again. Since the kickstart file defines the disk as sda1 I am supposing that it is really a hardware problem. But I am told by coworkers who handed it off to me that it is a known issue with centos and Dell blades. These are two internal disks on the blade. Any suggestions? -- Dan
