I can't seem to check off the centos media repo from within the add/remove application. Is there a way to do this? I tried to invoke gpk-application from root but it didn't work. Thanks-Patrick

Kernel 3.10 and CentOS 5
by Stephen Harris 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

I have a Centos 5 machine which I've just compiled the 3.10.4 kernel on (remembering to set CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED) because I needed new rtlwifi drivers for my rtl8192cu device. So far, so good. It seems to work. Except /proc/bus/usb doesn't exist anymore. USB_DEVICEFS has been removed. An older kernel (3.2.9) says Usbfs entries are files and not character devices; usbfs can't handle Access Control Lists (ACL) which are the default way to grant access to USB devices for untrusted users of a desktop system. The usbfs functionality is replaced by real device-nodes managed by udev. These nodes lived in /dev/bus/usb and are used by libusb. Has anyone got udev on C5 working with this new kernel so my USB devices show? (It's not causing me any real issues, other than "lsusb" nor working; just curious!) -- rgds Stephen

looking for a comprehensive list of centos-compatible yum repositories (for gnustep program)
by Dan Hitt 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

I installed CentOS 6.4 on a partition on my computer a few days ago, and i'm trying to equip it with the software i think i need. For example, i need, or i think i need, a couple of gnustep programs for uploading images from my digital camera (the programs being openapp and Camera.app). I imagine that these are old enough that they must surely exist in rpms somewhere. But i apparently don't know how to google around sufficiently well to locate a repository that contains them, or even that contains packages that i know exist as rpms. For example: i'm certain that an rpm exists for a package called gnustep-make, because its name popped up on http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=279655 But if i try 'sudo yum install gnustep-make' i get 'No package gnustep-make available.' So that clearly means that i don't have enough repositories configured for use. So, i'd be grateful for any pointers to a list of CentOS-compatible repositories that i can put in the yum configuration (/etc/yum.repos.d or elsewhere). (Maybe this is a FAQ, or an RTFM --- i'd appreciate any steering here!) dan

Does anyone know of a DVR that runs Linux that does NOT USE Active-X, and/or allows logging in directly? All I keep running into are crap that ->requires<- IE, and don't allow directly logging in. mark

Centos and percona5.5
by Birta Levente 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Hi I have centos 6.4 and installed percona 5.5... everything works fine, but in phpmyadmin (which is installed on the same box), i get this error: Your PHP MySQL library version 5.1.66 differs from your MySQL server version 5.5.32. This may cause unpredictable behavior. How should handle this? Somewhere exists the correct php-mysql library? Thanks Levi

What on Centos is wiping out my eth0 IP address every 5 minutes?
by Rock 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

QUESTION: Why does my Centos 6.4 laptop keep wiping out my eth0 IP address? SUMMARY: a) I set the IP address of eth0 b) Everything works fine for 2 to 5 minutes c) Then, that eth0 IP address is (somehow?) wiped out I frustratingly repeat that abc process (over and over and over again) BACKGROUND: My home network has been working perfectly and there is no problem with my home network, nor my wlan0 WiFi access from my Centos laptop to that home broadband network. Inside the house, I never use the wired (eth0) NIC; but, I'm trying to set up a wired/wireless connection outside the house and that is where I'm running into this problem where Centos (automatically?) constantly and repeatedly wipes out the IP address I set on eth0. I can easily (constantly) change the IP address of the eth0 NIC back to what I want it to be; but that IP address only stays set for about 2 to 5 minutes; and then it wipes itself out (again & again). Why? How do I stop this? (All I want is for eth0 to *stay* at the IP address I set it to!) To give you more contextual detail, here's a typical sequence. SIMPLE BASELINE: Wireless NIC (wlan0) is turned off using a hardware switch on the outside of the laptop (so that only one NIC is in play). STARTING POINT: (eth0 has no IP address) $ ifconfig eth0 => eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:BE:C1:D8:E5:F1 => inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe38:8591/64 Scope:Link => UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 => RX packets:3139 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 => TX packets:3230 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 => collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 => RX bytes:2403080 (2.2 MiB) TX bytes:547895 (535.0 KiB) => Interrupt:20 Memory:f2600000-f2620000 I EASILY CAN SET THE IP ADDRESS of eth0: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 $ ifconfig eth0 => eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:BE:C1:D8:E5:F1 => inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 => inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe38:8591/64 Scope:Link => UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 => etc. At this point, I can now connect a wire from the RJ45 port of the laptop, to the device (which happens to be a radio set to 192.168.1.20): $ ping 192.168.1.20 => PING 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20) 56(84) bytes of data. => 64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.38 ms => 64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.339 ms => 64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.255 ms ^C => --- 192.168.1.20 ping statistics --- => 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2954ms => rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.255/0.660/1.388/0.516 ms I can even easily connect via port 80 (using Firefox on the laptop) to this device, e.g., $ firefox http://192.168.1.20 In fact, time and time (and time) again, everything works just fine, for about 2 to 5 minutes, until, invariably, I lose all connectivity! What seems to happen is that CentOS wipes out my IP address that I had set for eth0. So, I lose all connectivity. $ ifconfig eth0 => eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:BE:C1:D8:E5:F1 => inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe38:8591/64 Scope:Link => UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 I can repeat the process, and everything works again, for about 2 to 5 minutes. Then I lose my eth0 IP address again. WHAT I WANT: When I set eth0 to an IP address, I want eth0 to *stay* at that IP address! My question: Q: Why does setting an eth0 IP address only last about 5 minutes on Centos? What am I doing wrong? What can I do to *keep* the IP address on eth0 that I set for eth0?

kio_http spawns multiple processes
by Kwan Lowe 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hello All: I've narrowed an earlier issue down to a problem with kio_http. This one is much easier to reproduce: In a KDE session, open Konsole terminal. In the Konsole session, type a bogus web address. E.g.: http://magoo.ca Right click the link and select "Open Link" In a few seconds you should get multiple notifications on the desktop and several kio_http processes spawned. This notifications keeps on arriving until a "killall kio_http" is issued.
