Hello there, is it me or a recent glibc update in CentOS6 did break audio tagtool? It now shows utf8 conversion errors and crashes. A rebuild from the sources didn't help. Regards, -- wwp

Building CentOS 6.2 custom install media
by Daniel Drake 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

Hi, For the OLPC school server ("XS") we are planning to move from our dated F9 setup to CentOS 6.2. Thanks for all the effort involved in producing this distro. One important part of this project is a 'respin' of the install media - we need to add a handful of packages from external repositories, and maybe run a command late in the install. Are the scripts/configurations used to produce the CentOS official CD/DVDs available? I guess this would be our most reliable/sensible starting point. I am familiar with pungi, kickstart, anaconda, etc, so just a simple git link would be enough to get me started. Thanks, Daniel

Cloning CentOS workstations
by Glenn Eychaner 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

I manage a set of CentOS operations workstations which are all clones of each other (3 "live" and 1 "spare" kept powered down); each has a single drive with four partitions (/boot, /, /home, swap). I've already set up cron'd rsync jobs to copy the operations accounts between the workstations on a daily basis, so that when one fails, it is a simple, quick process to swap in the spare, restore the accounts from one of the others, and continue operations. This has been successfully tested in practice on more than one occasion. However, when I perform system updates (about once a month), I like to create a temporary "clone" of the system to an external drive before running the update, so that I can simply swap drives or clone back if something goes horribly wrong. I have been using "CloneZilla" to do this, but it can take a while since it blanks each partition before copying, and requires a system shutdown. Question 1: Would it be sufficient to simply use CloneZilla once to initialize the backup drive (or do it manually, but CloneZilla makes it easy-peasy), and then use "rsync -aHx --delete" (let me know if I missed an important rsync option) to update the clone partitions from then on? I am assuming that the MBR typically doesn't get rewritten during system updates, though "/etc/grub.conf" obviously does get changed. Suppose I want to store more than one workstation on a single drive (easy), and be able to boot into any of the stored configurations (hard). Here's what I thought of: 1) Create a small "master" partition which contains a bootloader (such as a CentOS rescue disk), and a single "swap" partition. 2) Create one partition "set" per workstation (/boot, /, /home, excluding swap). Obviously, these will all likely be logical, and each workstation must use unique labels for mounting partitions. 3) On the "master" partition, modify the bootloader menu to allow one to chainload the /boot partitions for each configuration. (This is the "Voila!" step that I haven't fully figured out.) Question 2: Is there a better way to do the above? How do I perform the "Voila!" step, i.e. what's the right chainload command for this? Also, the chainloaded partitions are logical; is this OK? I also have a single off-site NAS disk which contains clones of all the critical workstations on-site. Most of them are Macs, so I can use sparseimages on the NAS for the clones and get easy-peasy incremental clones. I also do this for the Linux box (backing it up incrementally to an HFS case-sensitive sparseimage via rsync), but it's (obviously) a bit of a kludge. Question 3: Is there a UNIX equivalent to the Mac sparseimage that I should be using for this? ("tar -u" can do it (duh), but then the backup file grows without bound.) Thanks, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

MySQL 5.1.69 at CentOS 6.4 doesn't know enable-named-pipe?
by Alexander Farber 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hello, I've only had experience with PostgreSQL sofar, but have now to install MySQL (and WordPress) on a CentOS 6.4 /64 bit server. I have installed the mysql-5.1.69-1.el6_4.x86_64 package and executed the following commands: # chkconfig mysqld on # service mysqld start # /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'xxxxx' # /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation Then I've noticed that mysqld_safe process is listening at 0.0.0.0 and decided to change that - so that my WordPress installation only uses domain sockets (or unix pipes? not sure). So I've modified the /etc/my.cnf to: [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock user=mysql # Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks symbolic-links=0 bind-address = localhost skip-networking enable-named-pipe [mysqld_safe] log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid But now MySQL refuses to start: # service mysqld restart Stopping mysqld: [ OK ] MySQL Daemon failed to start. Starting mysqld: [FAILED] The /var/log/mysqld.log contains: mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 8.0M InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 44233 [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: unknown option '--enable-named-pipe' [ERROR] Aborting InnoDB: Starting shutdown... InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 44233 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended I've searched Google and grepped /usr/share/mysql/*.cnf for that directive, but haven't found any hints there. Any hints please? Regards Alex

Apple movie trailers on Centos6/Firefox
by Fred Smith 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hi all! Once again, Apple has messed with their trailers/website such that I can no longer play their trailers on Centos 6 (note that it still works fine on my two Fedora machines, F17 and F19, without any special settings. on Centos, I've long ago found that by setting the user agent to certain values I could make it work, but now that no longer helps. when I try to view a trailer all I get is a "download Quicktime" page. When I was running C5, I used mplayer plugin to do the video and it worked fine. after installing C6, I discovered that Totem also worked without the need to mess with mplayer installation. then all of a sudden, a couple weeks ago, it stopped working. at the same time, the choices they offered changed, so now they only offer "automatic", "480p" or "720p". this link is to one I can still play: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/elemental/ and this is a newer one I cannot: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/disney/monstersuniversity/ I am (and have been) using the User Agent Switcher plugin for firefox (for several years) to make this all work, and until recently it has. Using that plugin, I find either of these settings has worked: useragent description="Quicktime 7.6.2" useragent="QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;os=Windows NT 5.1 Service Pack 3)" appcodename="Mozilla" appname="Netscape" appversion="5.0 (X11)" platform="Linux x86_64" vendor="" vendorsub="" or: useragent description="Google chrome" useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML,like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.168 Safari/535.19" appcodename="Mozilla" appname="Netscape" appversion="5.0 (X11)" platform="Linux x86_64" vendor="" vendorsub="" I'd appreciate hints on how to once again do a end-run around Apple's attempts to fence me out.

Greetings, I am trying to prepare 1. installer usb using iso with (centos minimal + custom rpm) 2. a Live usb using (centos minimal + custom rpm) I do not have any information of the configuration of target system beforehand -- especially the storage devices. Could be two or more and may a dvd-rw. Unknown 1. How does one specify the path for kickstart file in the syslinux.cfg which is in the usb given that device ? 2. where should the kickstart file be located - inside isolinux directory or above it? 3. If we just put ks=ks.cfg where should ks.config be located? TIA -- Regards, Rajagopal
