installing gnome, CentOS 6.1
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I just rebuilt a box to 6.1 for a user. Shortly after I delivered, she came up to ask about gnome; it had come up as KDE. I looked at the login screen, and in the session type, saw previous, custom, kde, and default. When I investigated, I found not all 7,532,340 gnome packages were installed. Googling for responses only in the last month, I found a lot of groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment", as opposed to what I put in our PXEboot file months ago, "GNOME Desktop Environment (RPM Fusion Free)". That didn't work either, and after a bit more googling, found people saying groupinstall Desktop. So, is upstream so GNOMEly that the rest of the desktops/window managers are just chopped liver? mark, annoyed at having to change the ks.cgi *again*

Perl package problems
by Anne Wilson 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

For a while now I've been seeing skipped-package notices, which I don't really understand. I know it's a version mis-match, but all my attempts to sort it out have failed, so I need help, please. The current state is Skipping filters plugin, no data --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl-Compress-Zlib.x86_64 0:2.020-119.el6 will be obsoleted ---> Package perl-IO-Compress.noarch 0:2.037-1.el6.rfx will be obsoleting --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.037 for package: perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el6.rfx.noarch ---> Package perl-IO-Compress-Base.x86_64 0:2.020-119.el6 will be obsoleted ---> Package perl-IO-Compress-Zlib.x86_64 0:2.020-119.el6 will be obsoleted --> Finished Dependency Resolution Packages skipped because of dependency problems: perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el6.rfx.noarch from rpmforge-extras Can someone please tell me what needs erasing/installing/updating to get this cleaned up? Thanks Anne -- New to KDE Software? Got some good hints and tips? - Welcome to http://userbase.kde.org

Cause for kernel panic
by Nicolas Ross 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hi ! On an 8-node cluster, one of the node did a kernel panic. The only bit of information I have is on a ssh console I had open, which said : Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:------------[ cut here ]------------ Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu15/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Stack: Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Call Trace: Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Code: 01 00 00 e8 26 8a cd e0 85 c0 0f 85 0e ff ff ff 48 89 df e8 76 f8 ff ff e9 01 ff ff ff 31 d2 eb d4 48 89 de 31 ff e8 c3 e3 ff ff <0f> 0b eb fe 66 66 66 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 55 48 Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception From this, is there a way to determine the cause ? kdump is not confirgured nor used, since the fencing of the node renders kdump useless. This is the second time in a few weeks it happens.

Missing nss dependency nss-softokn
by Cal Webster 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I'm getting yum update errors when attempting to update nss: --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: nss-3.12.10-2.el6_1.x86_64 (updates) Requires: nss-softokn(x86-64) >= 3.12.9 Installed: nss-softokn-3.12.7-1.1.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-CentOS-201106060106.x86_64/6.0) nss-softokn(x86-64) = 3.12.7-1.1.el6 I realize I need to swap in the 6.1 ISO on our internal mirror but the missing package doesn't appear to be on the mirrors either. I can't see nss-softokn-3.12.10-2.el6_1.x86_64.rpm anywhere on the mirrors. I checked the updates and cr repos on the Duke mirror for 6.0 and 6.1 but no joy. Did this one fall through the cracks or are the mirrors still syncing up? I'm happy to wait if it's just a timing issue but I wanted to be sure the list knew, just in case. ./Cal

Apache httpd-2.2.15 updates
by drsystems＠globalcerts.net 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hello, I am working on a CentOS Linux 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 system. I noticed that the system came with httpd-2.2.15-6 installed. After I run 'yum update' I get httpd-2.2.15-9. I did some research on the Internet, but can't find the following information: are most of the security fixes that appear in httpd-2.2.21 applied to the update on httpd-2.2.15-9? There was a security fix just last August, the CVE-2011-3192 on Range and DoS. I don't imagine that this is in the 2.2.15-9. Do you have plans to provide this patch in the repository so that 'yum update httpd*' would get this patch? Thank you in advance, Dirce Richards Systems Engineer, GlobalCerts

Unplugging DVI causes Disabling IRQ #11
by Scott Johnson 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I have some new PC hardware I'm using with the Intel H67 chipset. I created a bzImage I use for a PXE environment for a recovery mode, installing OS images, etc. The new mobo doesn't have a VGA port but instead DVI. Everytime I unplug the DVI cable it seems to cause "Disabling IRQ #11". After that the PC is basically unusable. The /proc/interrupts shows that hdd, usb, nic, RAID controller for some reason all share the same interrupt. What the heck? I tried booting with acpi=off and the bios doesn't seem to offer any IRQ/PnP options. Am I missing a specific driver in my bzImage for the H67 chipset or any ideas of what I could try next? It's been a sad day. bash-2.05b# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 15185951 XT-PIC-XT timer 1: 4 XT-PIC-XT i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 7: 75 XT-PIC-XT ehci_hcd:usb2 8: 1 XT-PIC-XT rtc 11: 2090574 XT-PIC-XT ahci, ehci_hcd:usb1, eth0, rr172x I even see a similar error on a fresh CentOS 5.7 install: irq 169: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff800bdf66>] __report_bad_irq+0x30/0x7d [<ffffffff800be1a4>] note_interrupt+0x1f1/0x232 [<ffffffff800bd6a5>] __do_IRQ+0xfa/0x140 [<ffffffff8006d4c1>] do_IRQ+0xe9/0xf7 [<ffffffff8005d615>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff801a2220>] acpi_safe_halt+0x25/0x36 [<ffffffff801a2a88>] acpi_processor_idle_simple+0xe6/0x31c [<ffffffff801a29a2>] acpi_processor_idle_simple+0x0/0x31c [<ffffffff80048fe2>] cpu_idle+0x95/0xb8 [<ffffffff80078a9a>] start_secondary+0x479/0x488 handlers: [<ffffffff801fc748>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x55) Disabling IRQ #169 Thanks for any help. -ScottEJ

Yum metadata / CR problems
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hi, after the release of 6.1 I have to do a "yum clean all" on all my 6.0 machines in order to make yum work again. The reason is that the old CR directory on the mirrors is now empty and the new one isn't used until I actually upgrade the system to 6.1 (or at least the centos-release package). Isn't there a better way to handle this without breaking yum? I'm also not quite sure why the "yum clean all" is required. It has been a few days now since 6.1 has been released so shouldn't the cached metadata have been expired by now anyway or is there metadata that has unusually long caching times? Regards, Dennis

When will 6.2 be released.

Let's go ahead and get this flame thread started now to save time. The CentOS team sucks ... it took XXXX days to do 6.1 ... it is going to take twice as long to get 6.2 My mom said CentOS blows. kbsingh is ugly. hughesjr is old and fat. OK ... that should do.

Using an MS Access database from CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
by Ron Young 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

@Work requires me to manipulate the MS Access database (mdb) file located on an XP box that is an integral part of a third party application that is central to the business. Does anyone have experience doing so? I have used odbtp in the recent past but it is extremely difficult to set up on the linux box as I learned when I recently upgraded from CentOS 4.x to 5.x. Is there another way to get read and write access to the mdb file from apache/php running from the linux box?

CentOS 6, yum-updatesd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a) what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron? I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some system, like home directory servers and backup servers are extremely unlikely to break with an autoupdate, so this is of immediate interest. mark

CR repo - version issue
by Philip Manuel 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi We use mrepo to keep a local repository. I downloaded the CentOS6.1 iso and used that as the base. We also have the CR repo added. I was expecting this change to cause no issues but the following packages have version issues between the base 6.1 and the CR repo:- base version CR version dbus-libs-1.2.24-4.el6_0.x86_64 dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64 libpng-1.2.44-1.el6.x86_64 libpng-1.2.46-1.el6_1.x86_64 cups-libs-1.4.2-39.el6.x86_64 cups-libs-1.4.2-39.el6_1.1.x86_64 zlib-1.2.3-25.el6.x86_64 zlib-1.2.3-26.el6.x86_64 krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6.x86_64 krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6_1.2.x86_64 perl-5.10.1-119.el6.x86_64 perl-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 perl-libs-5.10.1-119.el6.x86_64 perl-libs-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 There maybe a few other packages but this causes an issue with yum as it doesn't handle the el6_ suffix differences. Is this the intended behaviour ? Thanks

max user processes - is /etc/security/limits.conf the best place to change?
by Alexander Farber 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hello centos-users, in CentOS 6.1 is /etc/security/limits.conf the best place to change the number of max user processes for a daemon process? (I'm asking because the ".../security/..." part of the path sounds a bit strange) Thank you Alex

Shutdown KVM guest not working
by James B. Byrne 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

I am in the middle of a rather confusing situation. At the moment I am unable to shutdown a KVM guest machine. Nor am I presently able to open a virt-manager session on the host. I am not exactly sure what has happened but the problem with the vm guest is that issuing a "virsh shutdown 1" from the root console has no effect. # virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------------- 1 vmguest01.... running # virsh shutdown 1 Doamin 1 is being shutdown wait 5 minutes # virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------------- 1 vmguest01.... running How do I get this stopped? I have another problem with virt-manager as well. But I will leave that for another message. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

dd disk will not boot - can't find /dev/root
by Joseph Spenner 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

OS= CentOS 5.4, 64bit. I've always had great luck using dd to copy entire disks, and booting on other systems. However, I'm having difficulty with a couple systems. I boot using an install DVD so the OS disk is quiet, and dd to my target disk: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k /dev/sdb is the blank disk. The disks are 2T. After a few hours the operation is complete. But when I try to boot the new disk on my other system, I get the following errors after the CentOS boot menu (it counts down to boot the default disk fine, then this error): (screen shot at http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/645/centosbooterror.jpg ) I've read posts regarding the /dev/root error, and they talk about rebuilding initrd. I've tried some of the fixes mentioned, but have had no success. All I can think of is slightly different hardware on the new system where I'm trying to boot, but I'm not sure what the difference could be. They're both 64bit SuperMicro systems. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear. Thanks!

Minimal Desktop in CentOS6 with kvm
by David McGuffey 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Trying to build a more secure version of a desktop with virtualization enabled. Goal is to perform most Internet surfing and on-line banking from a special-built and hardened Linux load. Have built a bunch of complete "Desktop" versions of CentOS 5.5, 5.6, and 6.0 with this capability. This is the first time I've tried to go smaller. And smaller it is...by about 900 packages. Built a CentOS 6 "Minimum Desktop" today. During the install I added virtualization. Virtualization works, but the guest OS can't communicate via the virtio interface. Anyone able to do this? Any tips on what might be missing in the load? Dave

MD5 is certainly broken, but would it be sufficient to go to sha1sum? According to my quick testing, sha256sum takes twice as long as sha1sum. -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan(a)storm.ca> "La Esperanta Civito ne rifuzas anticipe la kunlaboron de erarintoj, se ili konscias pri sia eraro." -- Heroldo Komunikas, n-ro 473.

Group permission problems
by Michael Velez 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hello all, I'm having an issue with group permissions which I really find hard to understand why. I have created a group called smbusers which I am a part of by doing the following: # groupadd smbusers# usermod -G smbusers michael I then created a directory called foodir, owned by adm with group smbusers and give the following permissions to it: 770 I verify the permissions are correct and are accessible by members of its group, but I cannot access the directory. Everytime I try to cd into the directory, I get a permission denied error. It is a group issue because when I change the permission to 777, I do have access. Below is output I get from different commands: # groups michaelmichael: michael, smbusers # groupsmichael adm #iduid=500(michael) gid=500(michael) groups=4(adm), 500(michael) The /etc/group file shows I'm in the smbusers group but does not show I'm in the adm group (although I believe I added myself to the adm group when I installed the operating system). Clearly, I don't know what I'm doing and I am confused. Can anybody guide me to where I need to go? Thanks,Michael

Group permission problems [RESEND]
by Michael Velez 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hello all, Re-sending due to incorrect mapping of linefeeds from hotmail. I'm having an issue with group permissions. I have created a group called smbusers which I have added myself to, with the following commands: # groupadd smbusers # usermod -G smbusers michael I then create a directory called foodir, owned by adm with group smbusers. Permissions are correct (770) but I cannot access the directory. When I change permissions to 777, I can access. Below is output from various commands, run as user michael: $ groups michael michael: michael, smbusers $ groups michael adm $ id uid=500(michael) gid=500(michael) groups=4(adm), 500(michael) The /etc/group file shows I'm in the smbusers group but does not show I'm in the adm group (although I believed I added myself to the adm group when I installed CentOS). Clearly, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm confused. Can anybody guide me to where I need to go? Thanks, Michael

iSCSI best practices
by Alan McKay 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hey folks, I had some general questions and when reading through the list archives I came across an iSCSI discussion back in February where a couple of individuals were going back and forth about drafting up a "best practices" doc and putting it into a wiki. Did that ever happen? And if so, where is it? Now my questions : We are not using iSCIS yet at work but I see a few places where it would be useful e.g. a number of heavy-use NFS mounts (from my ZFS appliance) that I believe would be slightly more efficient if I converted them to iSCSI. I also want to introduce some virtual machines which I think would work out best if I created iSCSI drives for them back on my Oracle/Sun ZFS appliance. I mentioned iSCSI to the guy whose work I have taken over here so that he can concentrate on his real job, and when I mentioned that we should have a separate switch so that all iSCSI traffic is on it's own switch, he balked and said something like "it is a switched network, it should not matter". But that does not sit right with me - the little bit I've read about iSCSI in the past always stresses that you should have it on its own network. So 2 questions : - how important is it to have it on its own network? - is it OK to use an unmanaged switch (as long as it is Gigabit), or are there some features of a managed switch that are desirable/required with iSCSI? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

auto-creating a local yum cache?
by Alan McKay 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hey folks, I just did an update on a system that is taking the better part of a day ( 5.3 ---> 5.7 ) mainly due to file download times. And I have 4 or 5 more systems to do. I know I can create my own repository and then point them at it - but that is difficult here because rsync is blocked (ggrrrrrr...) Surely there must be a way to have yum on the first box automatically cache everything and then have the other boxes use the cache? Maybe if not directly, then with squid or something like that? Anyone happen to have done this before? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

yum - sqlite SIGSEVG
by Paul Heinlein 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I've got a CentOS 6.1 x86_64 VM running atop CentOS 6.1 x86_64 KVM host. The VM is in production, so any fix needs to be fairly non-intrusive. In the VM, yum consistently segfaults when reading non-base repositories. The problem appears to be related to the faulty creation of /var/cache/yum/x86_64/<<reponame>>/primary.xml.gz.sqlite The latest installment of this problem is related to the 6.1 cr repository, but it's happened with other non-base repos in the past. Steps to duplicate, fix, and re-duplicate the problem: 1. "yum clean all && yum update" will segfault. strace shows that the SIGSEGV is received while doing work in the cr repository. 2. Run "yum clean all && yum update" on a different CentOS machine that uses the exact same yum repositories. The copy /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/cr/primary.xml.gz.sqlite from the working machine to the broken one. 3. "yum update" on the broken machine works flawlessly! 4. "yum clean all && yum update" on the broken machine (which removes and tries to rebuild the .sqlite file) will segfault once again. The primary.xml.gz.sqlite file that gets created on the broken VM is quite a bit smaller than that on all my working machines. On the broken machine, it looks like PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF; BEGIN TRANSACTION; CREATE TABLE db_info [...]; CREATE TABLE packages [...]; # several more CREATE TABLE commands CREATE TRIGGER removals [...]; COMMIT; On all my working machines, it looks like PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF; BEGIN TRANSACTION; CREATE TABLE db_info [...]; INSERT INTO "db_info" [...]; CREATE TABLE packages [...]; # several more CREATE TABLE commands CREATE TRIGGER removals [...]; CREATE INDEX packagename [...]; # several more CREATE INDEX commands COMMIT; The working machine all do an INSERT into db_info and create several indexes; the broken machine does not. Otherwise, the sql statements are identical. On the broken machine, I've done yum reinstall sqlite yum reinstall python yum reinstall yum\* But the outcome is the same. The problem is limited to this VM. Other VMs on the same host have no such difficulties. Anyone have a clue? -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein(a)madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/

NetworkManager turned off yet clobbered yp.conf on boot?
by Thomas Burns 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

A system had a disk problem, I took out the disk, mounted on another system, tweaked around until I thought the disk problem was fixed, then put it back in the original system. I did not edit any config files among the tweaks. When I booted the system, NIS was not working right. I found that these files had been changed: /etc/yp.conf /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ntp.conf /etc/auto.master /etc/hosts.allow. A comment in the new bogus yp.conf indicated it had been created by NetworkManager. But Networkmanager is not active: # chkconfig --list|grep -i netw NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Did hald or something like that run some NetworkManager stuff? How could this happen, or rather, how do I prevent this from ever happening again? mahalo, Dave

bash on Centos 5 can not source FIFOs ...
by Timothy Madden 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hello I run into this problem on CentOS 5.7 (Final), that if I try to source a FIFO in bash, my command will be silently ignored and nothing from the FIFO is interpreted. Here is a simple example: [root@appserver2 ~]# mkfifo /tmp/myfifo [root@appserver2 ~]# echo ls -l >/tmp/myfifo & [2] 23771 [root@appserver2 ~]# source /tmp/myfifo # no `ls´ output here... [root@appserver2 ~]# rm /tmp/myfifo rm: remove fifo `/tmp/myfifo'? y [2]+ Exit 1 echo ls -l > /tmp/myfifo [root@appserver2 ~]# CentOS 5.7 comes with 'GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)'. I can see from posting in the bash group that the same bash 3.2 (and older) on a different distribution can source the FIFO as expected: nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.bash.bugs/17652 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.bash.bugs/17649/focus=17652 Can this be a CentOS/packaging issue ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

Cannot remove a file
by Theo Band 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I have used restore to restore a snapshot of home data. From the root of this restore a file called aquota.user exists but cannot be removed: # mount|grep temp /dev/mapper/vgraid-temprestore on /mnt/temprestore type ext3 (rw) # cd /mnt/temprestore/home # ll -d . drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 12 11:12 . # ll total 12 -rw------- 1 root root 8192 Sep 30 10:21 aquota.user # rm aquota.user rm: remove write-protected regular file `aquota.user'? y rm: cannot remove `aquota.user': Operation not permitted # mv aquota.user somethingelse mv: cannot move `aquota.user' to `somethingelse': Operation not permitted # chown root.root aquota.user chown: changing ownership of `aquota.user': Operation not permitted # setfacl -b aquota.user # rm aquota.user rm: remove write-protected regular file `aquota.user'? y rm: cannot remove `aquota.user': Operation not permitted # getfacl aquota.user # file: aquota.user # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::--- other::--- And yes, I did a fsck -f on the filesystem. I even re-created the filesystem (it needs to be empty anyhow) but after I restore the file (using restore) the same problem pops up. Any ideas on what else I can do to get rid of this file? CentOS 5.7 Selinux permissive. Theo

Release for CentOS-6.1 LiveDVD i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) 4. Release for CentOS-6.1 Minimal i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:09:53 +0000 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.1 i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4EE2A351.6000709(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.1 install media for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.1 are availble at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.1 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.1 is based on the upstream release EL 6.1 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. All machines running CentOS-Release-CR on 6.0 would already be running code that is included in the 6.1 install media. We highly recommend everyone use the CR repository in order to get all bugfix and security updates as soon as possible. More information on the CR repository can be found at : http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.1 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. In most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a thousand people seeding CentOS-6 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.1/isos/i386/CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD1to2.t… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.1/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD1t… You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.1 ISOS: i386: 2ef1eb330efeb8bca5646700481b1a645f726bdb CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD1.iso e12d7f473fa7f13931738f3c37f57d99e66c2ff2 CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD2.iso b0163bcf2777b9c19542a89106094aafea45f3aa CentOS-6.1-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: 6cf7de61f851bbdb6859ce0a33d65d9554219509 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 7bfd52eaa5ada445982c3f528c1f481bbcda85c8 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 2d0e5c3c91717996c7d3d35658f79ccac767b564 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are still making their way to the CentOS mirrors and should be available within the next 24 to 48 hours. We are prioritising the centos modified packages. In order to speed up the release process for these packages, we are releasing them directly into vault.centos.org; this drastically reduces the amount of traffic generated for the mirrors and makes it possible for us to publish them in sync with the binary code. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Contributing and joining the project: We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute . If you have questions or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not covered on that page, feel free to drop in on #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org) +++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to everyone who contributed towards making 6.1, specially the enormous effort put in by everyone on the QA team.

You can though enjoy a Gnome basic desktop, view and modify pictures with gthumb, browsing the web with Firefox, send emails with Thunderbird and connect to your favorite Instant Messaging network with Pidgin Note that the package manifest has changed slightly from the LiveCD6.0 release: Gimp has been removed and rdesktop,tigervnc,vinagre and tsclient have been added. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : 12a5bfbc0e4cfa1ebf9733c71c3e541a75b74db457f261ed46039b5714b2fee3 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-LiveCD.iso f9a9b245b7e5e45a7998ba91be8545dfaa738da771fa42ba91ecca5496f8f13f CentOS-6.1-i386-LiveCD.iso The CentOS-6.1 LiveCD is released to all external mirrors and available for download now.

The minimal install iso media is an alternative install to the main CentOS-6.1 distribution and comes with a trimmed down, preselected rpm list. However, it still runs off the standard installer, with all the regular features that one would expect from the main distribution, except the rpm selection screen has been disabled.

And with lvm, mdraid, iscsi and dm-multipath environments. These images also contain the complete recovery and rescue environment found in the main distribution. You should be able to use these images from CD media, DVD media, USB storage devices. We do not recommend these images be used with kickstart files written for the main CentOS distro images. An install will setup yum to work with the regular default CentOS 6.1 repositories. Once the installed machine instace boots it should work just like a regular CentOS machine, with only the bare minimal rpms installed. All package management, networking and storage related functionality should already be in place. +++++++++++++++++++++++ There is no upstream Minimal media product. These ISOs only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.1 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution.

Combining CentOS 6.1 DVD images
by Steve Snyder 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

I would like to create a single installation directory from the DVD1 and DVD2 CentOS 6.1 release DVD images, suitable for network (NFS) installation. If I mount each of the ISO images and copy their files to a single directory, will that work? That is, are the files on each DVD unique such that I won't be overwriting any files from DVD1 when doing the DVD2 copy? Will pointing a CentOS network installation (CentOS-6.1-i386-netinstall.iso) at this directory satisfy it at runtime for the files needed to do a full 6.1 install? Thanks.

rhost= does not include IP in /var/log/secure
by b.j. mcclure 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

For a couple months or so I have noticed that failed dovecot logins do not print the offending IP address in /var/log/secure which prevents fail2ban from blocking appropriate ports. All had worked well for several years. Box is 5.7 fully updated. I found this bug against cyrus-sasl which sounds like it might be related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683797 On the box in question, > rpm -q cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-5.el5_4.3 Is anyone else seeing this? Thanks in advance. B.J. --

ZFS magic (was: Backup Redux)

Anyway, I have a ZFS storage unit here and this is my first exposure to it so I don't really know about any of this ZFS magic that I often hear about. I'm sure I could google and find some reading on the matter but am wondering if anyone has some recommended reading that is concise and to the point, and will give me a good intro. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

iscsid still starting up after turning it off
by Mike VanHorn 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

I have a set of CentOS 5.7 workstations, on which I have turned of iscsid using 'chkconfig iscid off'. However, when some of them reboot, iscsid starts anyway. Also, when I do an 'service --status-all", iscsid is listed twice (this is true on both the workstations where iscsid starts and the ones where iscsid doesn't start), which seems to indicate, I think, that it is listed as a service twice. How can I tell from whence iscsid is starting, even after it's been turned off?

How to list virt machine size with virsh?
by Theo Band 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

I have started to migrate one CentOS5 machine from xen to kvm. The stability of the machine is much better (too much crashes with xen). I was used to do a "xm list" to get a list of clients. On the KVM machine I need to do a "virsh list". What I miss in that overview is the memory size of clients. I found "virsh dominfo <client>" but that is for just that one client (and I have several running). The same question for "xm top". I found that there seems to exist virt-top, but I could not find this in a repository for Centos5. virt-manager is a little overkill on this machine (it does work though but I like command line quick info).

Netinstall wants to use wlan0
by Jeff Gordon 09 Dec '11

Hi, Folks -- I'm setting up an Acer Aspire 5250 as a Christmas gift, CentOS 6 netinstall insists on trying to configure wlan0 but I'm using a wired DSL connection, consequently netinstall fails and only offers the option to Retry. How can I get it to bypass the wlan0 idea and go straight to eth0...? Thanks, -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing left in the world to prove.

duqu
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

There's an article on slashdot about the Duqu team wiping all their intermediary c&c servers on 20 Oct. Interestingly, the report says that they were all (?) not only linux, but CentOS. There's a suggestion of a zero-day exploit in openssh-4.3, but both the original article, and Kaspersky labs (who have a *very* interesting post of the story) consider that highly unlikely, and the evidence points to brute-force attacks against the root password. Then they update openssh and openssh-server. And then, at some point, they apparently take an ubuntu/debian openssh 5.9p1 (then p2) source package, and install *that* My manager suggest updating openssh to block other attackers (who actually might screw their attack). It still seems odd to me to yum update, then build the software from source. Are your root passwords strong? mark PS: Oh, yes: <http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/11/30/1610228/duqu-attackers-managed-to-wip…>

JNLP app problems
by Alan McKay 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hey folks, I'm trying to use a 5.3 box to run some JNLP apps, but all I get is a view of XML. I try doing some googling and don't come up with much other than this one thread that says I may need both 32 and 64 bit Java to run JNLP. But it is not clear to me how to do that. thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

yum with a proxy
by Philippe Naudin 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hello, While yum is configured to use a proxy, like this : [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch… #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 proxy=http://proxy.lasb:3128 it still make some attempts to connect directly to Internet (tcp 80). These attempts are denied and logged by the firewall. If I comment out the line mirrorlist= and uncomment the line baseurl= then there is no more direct connexion to Internet. (N.B. : in both cases, yum works well despite the access denied.) I have tried to add a line proxy= to fastestmirror.conf, but it doesn't change anything. I can't put proxy= in /etc/yum.conf because I also have a local repo. Any idea on how to avoid these connexion to Internet ?

6.1 .iso size?
by Beartooth 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

I haven't managed to get hold of any DVD-R media, and the machine I particularly want to install on seems not to be able to see double- sided (which I do have). (It's not exactly a new PC.) So I can't get 6.0 onto it in the usual way. But I can wait till 6.1 comes out; it is possible to predict yet whether it will squeeze in under the DVD+R limit? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Intel SE7210TP1-E giving memory errors
by Rob Kampen 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi List, I've been getting the following EDAC memory errors EDAC MC0: CE page 0xeb0dd, offset 0x0, grain 4096, syndrome 0x45, row 3, channel 0, label "": i82875p CE and from this seeing that these errors have been corrected. Checking cat /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/csrow3/ch0_ce_count gives me a count of 4 thus I now know that csrow3 - ch0 is the problem My question is, how does this map to the on board labels DIMM 1A DIMM 1B DIMM 2A DIMM 2B Am I correct in assuming csrow 3 is DIMM 2B? Also I have just discovered that both the OS drives sda and sdb have huge number of errors shown on the SMART records - can this relate to the memory errors?? - I am just really surprised to have two drives show almost identical number of errors at the same time, yet no apparent data errors - Drives are ATA ST380013AS 74.53 GB TIA for your insightful comments

Design question about VG / LV in a clustered environement
by Nicolas Ross 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi ! Since the last couple of months, we had a few problems with the maner we designed our clustered filesystem and we are planing to do a re-design of the filesystems and how they are used. Our cluster is composed of 8 nodes, connected via fibre channel, to a raid enclosure where we have 6 pair of 1-tb drives in mirror, so 6 1tb physical volumes. First of all, our services that are run from the cluster are running inside of directories. For exemple, a webserver for a given application is run from /CyberCat/WebServer/(...) That directory contains all executable (apache, php for exemple) and the related data, except for the databases. /CyberCat being a single GFS partition containing several other services. This filesystem and another one like this containing services for some other clients occupy a single VG composed of 2 PV (total 2tb). The remaining (4) other PV are used in one 1tb VG each, and those VG contains only one LV that is used for databases servers. For availibility reasons, we are planing of spliting the /CyberCat (and the other one like it) FS into several smaller filesystems, one for each service. The reason being that in the event that we need to make a filesystem check, or any other unplaned reason, on any filesystem it won't affect other services. So, now comes the question I have : 1. First of all, is this a bad idea ? 2. Is there any disadvantages of doing a single volume group composed of many physical volumes, enabling us to move the extents of a logical volume from one physical volume to another one, so that load is more balanced in the event we need it. Thanks for the input.

Seeing rlimits on CentOS 4
by Stephen Harris 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

This is probably something any SA should know... but I don't! On CentOS 5 I can see what a process's current soft and hard limits are; /proc/<pid>/limits However this isn't in the C4 kernel. Is there any easy way of determining what the process rlimit values are? % uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux c4 2.6.20.7 #3 Sun May 2 16:30:15 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux CentOS release 4.8 (Final) (yes, I know this machine should be updated, but...) -- rgds Stephen

/dev/sda
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

We're just using Linux software RAID for the first time - RAID1, and the other day, a drive failed. We have a clone machine to play with, so it's not that critical, but.... I partitioned a replacement drive. On the clone, I marked the RAID partitions on /dev/sda failed, and remove, and pulled the drive. After several iterations, I waited a minute or two, until all messages had stopped, and there was only /dev/sdb*, and then put the new one in... and it appears as /dev/sdc. I don't want to reboot the box, and after googling a bit, it looks as though I *might* be able to use udevadm to change that... but the manpage leaves something to be desired... like a man page. The one that appears interesting to me is udevadm --test --action=<string>... and the actual command that would run, but there is *ZERO* information as to what actions are available, other than the default of "add". Clues for the poor, folks? mark

Upstream 6.2
by Lamar Owen 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

As much as I hate to be the bearer of news, I saw over 400 updates this morning on my upstream 6.1 box.... checking the upstream website, yeah, EL6.2 is out, at least for updates. I didn't see ISO's in my subscribed channel yet, though. I figured someone would notice soon enough. So before anyone goes into flame mode, think about the difficulties that have faced the CentOS developers in the past, and please refrain from asking the age-old question 'are we there yet?' (I have five children, between the ages of 17 and 4; that saying is just a smack old by now for me.....)

Sources for extras??
by Beartooth 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

With invaluable help here, I've just gotten 6.0 onto a PC. I went through the listings in PackageKit, removing things I know I'll never use; ran yum update; installed Opera; went to the epel, rpmfusion, and one whose name slips my mind (It's a new name.); enabled them all; and tried to get a lot of my regular apps : [....] Setting up Install Process No package dillo available. No package epiphany available. No package galeon available. No package midori available. No package privoxy available. No package seamonkey available. Error: Nothing to do [root@localhost ~]# Does this mean I have to go chugging all over the web, digging out one (hopefully not quite obsolete) rpm after another? Is there no easier way?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

How to preserve iptables when running the GUI tool ?
by Timothy Madden 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Hello I have set up NAT with iptables for an openvpn connection, so that the VPN server could give VPN clients access to the entire sub-net of the server. The probelm is if I start system-config-securitylevel to say disable the firewall, and then again to enable it, my iptable rules are gone ! I did run `service iptables save` before. Is there something I can do to prevent this ? Is there a gui interface to enable NAT over a VPN connection that cooperates with system-config-network ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

LPR to windows lpd question
by Tharun Kumar Allu 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi All, I am trying to print from a CentOS 5.3 server to a windows LPD service. After enabling the LPD service on Windows and creating a LPR port to a particular printer when I execute the following command on CentOS server I do not come out. lpr -H winprint:515 -P printer1 file.txt The above command does not exit. Do I need to configure anything on the server to be able to use lpr as a client ? Ultimately I want to use the above command to print to various printers based on different parameters. On a different note when I execute the same command on Fedora 14 I get Unknown as the error. Thanks Tharun

External HDD query
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Greetings, I have a USB external 2TB HDD with one NTFS partition which is to be used for backup up from about 5-8 workstations (all Win*) all are shut down when the office is closed I am playing around with Amanda server on Centos 5.7. (It is over 3 years since I last implemented Amanda for about 50 workstations mostly Fedora and couple of XP boxes -- it sang and danced quite nicely.) Now the issue I have is: 1. I want the External HDD to appear at another mountpoint than the /media/<HDDLabel> persistantly on the centos box.. 2. How do I ensure that amanda starts and completes its backup say between 0800hrs and 1900hrs. (/ducks -- I _know_ it is amanda related, I am crosing my fingers here) 3. Is Amanda really a good choice or an overkill in this scenario, given that this is a small s/w development shop where linux expertise is *not* available? 4. Is there an alternate simpler automatic network backup? (Bacula too seems overkill) 5. Amanda is in its 3.x avatar ("The most recent stable release is version 3.3.0"). Whereas Centos 5.x yum install yeilded (I dont know from where) amanda-server-2.5.0p2-8.el5 which -- as is usually expected -- a bit dated 6. The Windows client is 3.1.3. Will the ancient server and shining new client play nicely? 7. Is there a howto using rsync/rdiff given that Windows Scheduler is not exactly like our trusty, mature cron. The centos wiki on this matter is, well, a tad old. Surely the Centos server, which I introduced, in this shop is going to stay and will not go away. Of course RDIFF and other things are valid provided I have another Centos box. Any answers appreciated. TIA -- Regards, Rajagopal

Strangely slow disk
by Timothy Murphy 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

I have a 1.5TB Western Digital hard disk (WD15EADS-00R6B0) on my CentOS-5.7 server, which has become incredibly slow for some operations, eg rsync, BackupPC archive, e2fsck, although it seems to work fine for ordinary file operations, and "smartctl -a /dev/sdb" does not report any errors. For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition on this disk took over 24 hours to complete, as it did on another partition. I wonder if anyone can offer an explanation, or suggest a remedy? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

Centos 6x86_64: no hypervisor options were found for this connection
by Jason Pyeron 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

After following http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/ (because I found out that vmware server 2 does not work on centos 6) I go to the point where I tried to create a new VM in the virt-manager. At that point I get "no hypervisor options were found for this connection" in the manager but no entries in the logs in /var/log Googling tells me to check to make sure that the service is running, and it is. Where to check next? --Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

CentOS5 w winbind samba integrated w Win2k8 AD
by james 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Is anyone out there using CentOS5 integrated correctly with a Windows 2008 domain so that active directory authentication can be used for samba shares? I have tried the newer RPM's from SERNET up to 3.5 and 3.6 without any luck. The usual behavior is wbinfo returns the active directory users and groups but 'getent passwd' only returns local users. I also tried compiling samba from source but could never get winbind to properly connect. I have tried this with Ubunutu and CentOS6 and both of those "just worked". So if this is working for anyone with CentOS5 would you be willing to share your samba version, samba conf and pam setup? I've put a lot of time into it and also worked with the samba mailing lists without any success. Thanks

remote syslog question
by fred smith 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Hi all! I'm still googling for this, but after quite a while I'm no closer, so I figured I'd ask you guys: I've got my router using syslog on my centos box to log the router's system events. Works fine. however, it mixes 'em into /var/log/messages along with the messages from the Centos box itself. is there a way to separate them into itsown (set of??) files? So far I've not come up with anything. Thanks in advance!

Hello Sorry for the (I guess) simple question, but: I have 7 computers under one 8-port router (D-Link DIR-100, firmware v1.13EU) in my network (actually in a sub-network) and they do not see each other's host names. The router has the 'DNS relay' option enabled, and all 7 computers use the router as the DNS server, which in turn will forward DNS requests to the ISP DNS server. That way I can understand that simple, plain, default DNS is not enough for my boxes to see each-other's names. Windows has a nice (or not) way to resolve the problem: CIFS (Samba) server names are automatically included in the name resolving procedure. I know I can do the same with my CentOS boxes if I install samba on each of them and add 'wins' to the 'hosts: ' line in /etc/nsswitch.conf, but somehow I think installing cifs on every node just to get my local machine names to resolve properly to the IP addresses is not the right way to solve my problem ... What is the way to have all computers in my simple network know each other by name ? Is it possible to have the name resolving procedure used by the system automatically recognize a new machine added to my network, when I try to access it with right host name, like WINS can ? Also, I hear Linux does not have, by default, a cache of resolved names (like Windows does), and I find that to be a sad thing. Why should the default be set so that I contact the ISP DNS server for each and every web page I hit ? Is there an easy way to install a caching name server on my each machine, and make sure my system is using /that server/ to resolve names ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

Missing sources in CentOS 6.0
by Ryan R. Uber 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Hello everyone, In the 6.0 release, I have found a gap in the provided source under the SRPMS/ directories on the mirrors. Let's take the 'bash' source as the first example. The version of bash that I find in the binary x86_64 directories is: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.0/os/x86_64/Packages/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.x… One would expect to find the source to that binary at: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.0/os/x86_64/Packages/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.s… However, it does not exist. I have looked on many mirrors, all with the same result, which leads me to believe that this is simply missing on all CentOS mirrors. I have checked other distributions to see if the result is consistent, but Red Hat provides the SRPMS in their repository: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/bash-4.1.2… As do other rebuild-distributions like Scientific Linux: http://mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net/scientific/6.0/SRPMS/vendor/bash-4.1.2-3.e… I have noticed this same anomoly with the following packages: bash coreutils iptables libselinux mod_auth_kerb nss redhat-logos There may be others as well, but I have not checked the entire distribution. Is this a mistake? Or is there a reason that these are left out? I searched the forums and found this thread, but it offers no real solution: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=143030&topic_id=… Also, there doesn't appear to be any source available for the CR repository. Is there any place I can find these? Or am I just supposed to fetch them from upstream? - Ryan

qemu-kvm failed after update from CR repo
by Emmett Culley 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I finally decided to install the CR repo on one of my CentOS 6 machines that I use as a host for some VMs (also running CentOS 6). Before updating the host I updated a VM that was not critical to test the process and was able to boot that VM, so I went ahead with updating the host and the two VMs that were in use. When I rebooted the host none of the VM would start. Once I figured out that it had to be the host I started downgrading the virtual packages. I was finally able to get the VMs to boot after dwongrading qemu-kvm. Has anyone else seen this? Emmett

That means there is only 3 months left in the life cycle. This coincides with the date that the upstream provider stops releasing updates for their EL4 products. Users who still need the EL4 platform can contact Red Hat for their Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) product: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/extended_lifecycle_support/ Be advised that the upstream provider does NOT release their ELS source code publicly and therefore after February 29, 2012 they will no longer release security updates for their EL4 product line. Soon after 1 March 2012, the CentOS-4.9 tree will be moved off the main CentOS mirrors and placed on http://vault.centos.org/ where it will be available for reference. All users currently using CentOS-4 are advised to begin planning the upgrade to CentOS-5 (EOL Date: March 31, 2014) or CentOS-6 (EOL Date: November 30, 2017) ... or a move to the upstream ELS program for EL4. This will be the 3rd enterprise Linux distribution that the CentOS Project has taken to EOL, with CentOS-4.9 joining CentOS-3.9 and CentOS-2.1 in the vault. If you have any questions, please use one of the getting help methods from the CentOS Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/Documentation?action=show Thanks, Johnny Hughes

megaraid/PERC
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I've got two drives from a now-dead server, they were RAIDed, a mirror, I'd assume. I need to see if there's anything on them I need to transfer to the replacement, so I just shoved them into another Dell server, with a PERC 5 controller - I think that's what the dead one had. I fired up MegaRAID storage manager... but can't see any way to tell it to recreate that RAID. Anyone done this? mark

HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller
by Richard Gliebe 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hello, I'm trying to install CentOS 6.0 64bit on a HP ProLiant ML110 G7 with a HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller. One logical drive (RAID 1+0) on the RAID Controller is already build. CentOS Installation can't find the logical Drive, but it shows me the zwo physical drives (sda+sdb). After searching the web, I found following hints: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/raid-array-not-de… http://linuximagination.blogspot.com/2011/04/centos-installer-wasnt-detecti… OK. Downloaded the file "hpahcisr-1.2.6-7.rhel5.x86_64.dd.gz" and do the dd from another Linux workstation. # dd if=hpahcisr-1.2.6-7.rhel5.x86_64.dd.gz of=/dev/sdb (4Gig USB Stick) starting the CentOS 6.0 64 bit installation from the DVD boot: linux dd After loading the kernel, the installer is asking whether I have driverdisk and asked to indicate which drive (sdc) /dev/sdc is my 4Gig USB Stick. My problem is now, the step "Driver Disk" is failed: Failed to mount driver disk. any hints are very, very welcome. Thanks in advance Richard

System Time - UTC and Local Time
by Johan Martinez 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I have installed CentOS on a VM by checking 'System Clock uses UTC' option. Later I selected CST time zone. Now the date command shows UTC time with CST timezone: "Thu Dec 1 04:14:39 CST 2011". How do I change system clock to show CST local time? Also, more likely a dumb question but why isn't date command showing UTC here instead of CST? jM

how to install standard software on systems with heterogeneous hardware?
by Thomas Burns 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I've been thinking about ways to proceed if I need to set up 5 machines with basically identical software but somewhat variable hardware. A simple approach would be to just set up my golden system and clone the disk, but the hardware differences would probably cause problems. One approach that appeals to me is to install minimal centos on the first system, add a few rpms after installation, do my desired config file tweaks, then somehow generate an rpm that depends on all the post-install rpms and contains my custom versions of the config files I tweaked. Then, to set up the other 4 systems, I'd use the kickstart file from the first, then yum localinstall my custom rpm, which would install all the dependencies and tweak all the config files. I assume the centos install would deal with the hardware differences. Does this idea make sense? What happens when two different rpms want to provide the same config file? Are there any other simple alternatives I have overlooked? What is the best practice when setting up identical software on multiple systems with heterogeneous hardware? mahalo, Dave

ipa-server
by Louis Lagendijk 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

hi I am a happy user of CentOS since Centos 4. I very much appreciate the effort you guys are putting into Centos 6. I am planning to play around with the ipa-server in Centos 6.1. Now I noticed that ipa-server is in the cr-repository. In order to install however the pki-ca and pki-silent packages are missing. The fact that ipa-server is built suggests that these packages have been built. If so, tit may be an oversight that these packages have not yet been pushed to the repo. In that case it would be nice if they could be pushed. If they are not yet ready, I will happily wait for them...(I understand the complexity of the work involved!!!) Thanks for the great distro!

checking package versions in various releases
by Alan McKay 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hey folks, I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. I am currently running 5.3 and "yum info db4" tells me that they have version 4.3.29. Is that telling me that this is the version in 5.3? Or that this is the latest version in the 5.x stream? If the former, then how do I find out what release of the db4 software (sleepcat berkeley db) is in 5.7? I don't want to "yum upgrade" just yet. I have to research a number of things before upgrading, and this is one of them. thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Replacing gateway, is it bad idea?
by Fajar Priyanto 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi all, I have plan to replace my Centos5.7 VM with newer version. The VM works as our network gateway. I want to ask from your experience, will it be a bad decision? My concern is that since the Mac Address of the gateway will change, will it disrupt the network? How fast the Switches can recognize the new mac? Any other pitfall? Thanks Fajar.

Moving server
by Timothy Murphy 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

I want to move my home server over to a new machine, both running CentOS. (The present server is running CentOS-5.7, the new one 6.0.) I'm thinking of moving things over one at a time, starting with email. I'm running IMAP on the server, with my email in ~/Maildir/ . I'm wondering what exactly I need to copy to the new machine? Any help or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

hello
by LinuxIsOne 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hello, I am a Windows convert basically, but as a newbie, thinking of stability and a virus free OS, and the features like that of a server, I have come here. Well said that I am absolutely new, I would know the things in the course of time, since it is different from my daily job....... Can one please let me know about the difference between the two DVD torrents: CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent<http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.…>and CentOS-6.0-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent<http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-LiveCD.t…>(which I found at http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/) Which one I have to download and install? Further at the same page (i.e., at http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/) there are two more options of DVD1 and DVD2, so are these two more I have to download? Also for what purpose we have 'minimal' and 'netinstall'? Thanks and Regards.
