Centos 5 and blutooth mouse
by Jerry Geis 08 May '07

08 May '07

I have an hp dv9000 laptop with centos 5. everything is working except my bluetooth mouse... I go up to the icon (upper right) for bluetooth, right click on it, click the discoverable icon, then click the discoverable button on my mouse - ----- and nothing. Nothing pops up with a pin number for the mouse, nothing happens at all... Does this not work? What might I be missing. Jerry

Raid5 issues
by Ruslan Sivak 08 May '07

08 May '07

So when I couldn't get the raid10 to work, I decided to do raid5. Everything installed and looked good. I left it overnight to rebuild the array, and when I came in this morning, everything was frozen. Upon reboot, it said that 2 of the 4 devices for the raid5 array failed. Luckily, I didn't have any data on it, but how do I know that the same thing won't happen when I have real data on it? I kind of feel that the problem might be that I'm using SATA drives, and they probably tried to self-correct and error and took too long, and the raid controller assumed that it was a bad drive, and took it out of the array. The question is, is there anything I can do about it? Russ

Installing from a custom kernel
by Ruslan Sivak 08 May '07

Since the built in kernel doesn't have the raid10 module for some reason, I would like to custom compile a kernel that does, and install with it. How would I go about doing this? Russ

wget not in minimal install
by MrKiwi 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hi All, I used to always do a minimal install with v4.4, and wget (and other tools) was included. With v5 if i untick *everything* in the installation (incl "base") so that i can install from 1 cd, wget is not included. I couldn't make sense of any of the xml or xml.gz files on the installation cd. (/dev/cdrom/repodata/*), although they do mention wget as 'default' rather than 'mandatory' in one of the files. Which option should i tick to get wget? or should i just use a kickstart install and throw yum -y install wget dos2unix in the postinstall section? MrKiwi,

CentOS 5: GDM starts, but console doesn't switch VTs
by Bart Schaefer 07 May '07

07 May '07

(2nd attempt, the mailing list is still bouncing some gmail SMTP servers because of the multihop DSBL.) Over the weekend I installed CentOS 5 on my hp pavilion ze5300. The graphical install went just fine, and everything (except wireless, haven't worked on that yet) seems to be working. However, on boot, the text console comes up. If I hit Alt-F7 manually, I'm switched to the graphical GDM login, and that logs me in to a Gnome session as usual -- but the console never automatically switches over to the GDM virtual terminal, as far as I can tell. Is anyone else experiencing this? It may be that this happens only with the Xen kernel and has something to do with rhgb itself switching into text mode because of the microcode module installation failure that has been discussed elsewhere.

Zimbra MTA and Contact package?
by John Plemons 07 May '07

07 May '07

Does anyone have any feedback on the Zimbra MTA and Contact software? I just saw that Comcast is going to start using the software, I played with it over a year ago and dumped it. It seems to have been developed much further and works, open source and compiled for RedHat 4 Enterprise. Any feedback would be helpful... Thanks, john

runuser: /dev/null permission denied when init script is run via service
by Karel Rank 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hi, I have problem with runuser utility and permission to /dev/null. runuser is called from init script. When init script is run /etc/init.d/callrec start, then there are no problems with permissions, but when init script is called via service callrec start. Then runuser starts complaining about permissions. runuser: /dev/null: Permission denied What is strange is that I do not redirect to /dev/null anywhere. Permissions to /dev/null are: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Apr 16 16:39 /dev/null The difference between calling init script from command line and from service tool is that service calls script as parameter of env env -i LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin TERM=xterm /etc/init.d/callrec start CentOS is 4.3. Can somebody explain me where the problem is? Regards, Karel Rank

OT: Quick ext3 command
by Jeffrey B. Layton 06 May '07

06 May '07

Hello, Sorry for the off-topic, but I've just installed CentOS 5 on my home box and I want to put the journal on another drive. I created a software RAID-1 device, /dev/md1, and formatted an ext3 file system on it. Now I want to move the journal to /dev/hda5. I've googled for this and the process appears to be: mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -O journal_dev /dev/hda5 mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -J device=/dev/hda5 /dev/md1 Now, here's the fun part. I've already put data on /dev/md1. Will the above commands reformat /dev/md1? If so, is there an easy way to move the journal for /dev/md1 to a new partition? TIA! Jeff

Trying to build custom Python 2.4.4 RPM
by Del Stoliker 06 May '07

06 May '07

I'm trying to build a custom RPM with a standalone Python 2.4.4 in the /opt directory to keep it isolated from the stock version of Python in CentOS 4.4. The end goal is to use it in conjunction with yet-to-be-built RPMS of the current versions of Zope and Plone. The spec file I've constructed allows me to build a RPM successfully, but when I try to install the RPM, it complains: error: Failed dependencies: /usr/local/bin/python is needed by python24-2.4.4-0.i386 I'm not sure if this is more of a Python or RPM issue. So, I'm hoping someone on the list knows enough about both to help me out. Here is my spec file: %define optdir /opt/Python-2.4.4 Summary: An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.

Well I got my 1st notebook install done. Since the video card takes 24Mb memory, installer would not go graphical (256-24=232). But I can now boot into character mode. an init 5 brings up X, but I am in the X environment, and I want to be in Gnome. What file am I to edit and what changes do I make? thanks.

kernel update and RAID controller
by Martin Minka 06 May '07

06 May '07

Hello, I have a problem with drivers. I believe it is a general topic for Linux administrator. I managed it to install Centos4 with driver disk for my RAID controller. Unfortunately after "yum update" my kernel is updated and I see some warnings about missing driver. After restart kernel is stopping with message "kernel panic". The server I am installing on is Intel S5000PAL http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000pal/ and the drivers are version 07.15.0209.2007 on http://downloadcenter.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strT ypes=all&ProductID=2451&OSFullName=Red+Hat*+Enterprise+Linux+4.0&lang=eng&st rOSs=129&submit=Go%21 Could somebody give me some advices how to fix this ? I appreciate any hints and links. Sincerely, Martin Minka

ssh to failover target?
by Les Mikesell 06 May '07

06 May '07

I have some machines that send ssh commands to a load balancer appliance that is really a pair of machines that can fail over to each other. The ssh keys are set up on both targets, but whenever the active target is changed, ssh issues a warning about a "man-in-the-middle" attack also goes to the log and the console which tends to alarm the operators. Setting the strict host check to no lets the command complete anyway, but is there a way to get rid of the warning completely? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Email client shortcut
by Ioannis Vranos 05 May '07

05 May '07

Under SL 4.x GNOME, when I assigned a button shortcut for Email (the "Mail" button of my Microsoft Internet Keyboard), the default email client (thunderbird) was launched. Under CentOS 5.0, Thunderbird is launched as "thunderbird -compose %s" (defined in GNOME "Preferred applications"). This has as an effect when I press the email shortcut a compose new message window opens, and not the thunderbird main client. If I erase the "-compose %s" part, it has as a side effect that when I click on an email web link under firefox, it doesn't open the compose window but the thunderbird client. Any nice fix on this, other than choosing between the two? Thanks.

NFS issue
by Angus MacGyver 05 May '07

05 May '07

Hi List, I must be going mad or something, but got a really odd problem with NFS mount and a DVD rom. Here is the situation, /dev/md7 58G 18G 37G 33% /data which is shared out by NFS, (/etc/exportfs) This has been working since I installed the OS, Centos 4.4 I have a DVD on that is device /dev/scd0, which I can mount anywhere I like, no problem. However, the problem comes when I try to mount it under /data/shared/Photos/Archive1. It mounts ok, and I can see the data on it form the server, but I cannot see this data over the network on any NFS client when mounting /data/shared. If I mount /devscd0 as /mnt and export that, I can mount the over the network fine. If I take another device, /dev/md4 and mount in same place, (/data/shared/Photos/Archive1) i cannot see those files over the network either. I do this kind of thing not quite everyday on Solaris and it just works.. I know I must be missing something, but i'll be b*gger** if I know what. No messages in any /var/log/* file. Any ideas would be most appreciated? Cheers AM

Debugging sendmail

I have Centos 4 running on my server. During bootup, it hangs on the starting of sendmail. When I use the GUI interface to check what services are running, sendmail is shown to be running. However, if I try a restart, it just hangs. If I try to send mail with the php sendmail, it times out. My Linux skills are limited, so I am not sure what steps I should follow to debug the problem. Any suggestions are welcomed... Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

CentOS 5 + Nforce 4 SLI Intel SATA problems
by Varian 04 May '07

04 May '07

I've been having an extremely hard time using the on board SATA controller on my nvidia based board. I have two 160gig Maxtor SATA drives attached to the on board controller, setup as software raid0. The problem is the array is extremely unreliable, where I'm getting constant I/O errors like: sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 20010007 sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 20010000 I've wiped and scanned the drives with the Maxtor diagnostic utilities which passes both drives with flying colors. I've had no issues when i was doing the same thing with Suse 10.1, the same setup was 100% reliable. I also have two 160gig Maxtor ATA133 drive in the machine on the on board PATA controller and they work totally reliable.

Blocking radio streaming
by Mário Gamito 04 May '07

Hi, I'm the system's administrator at my company. All servers are CentOS :) I've been noticing that many people spend the whole day hearing to online radios. How can i block the streaming ? It's HTTP and i think it's through port 80. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito PS: No good blocking the radio sites, they'll discover others.

RE: SCSI Raid controller
by bm 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi All, I have some old HP Netserver LPr¹s that have old HP RAID controllers (NetRAID 3si¹s). The RAID controllers don¹t work too well with CentOS. I¹ve not been able to get the installer to see the controllers. I¹ve read a lot of notes that don¹t seem to point to me having any success. So 2 questions. Has anyone successfully used NetRAID 3si controllers with CentOS? Can anyone recommend an alternative controller that would play nicer with the OS? I¹m shooting for RAID1 only. Thanks Brian

We are in need of a remote mirror that provides rsync capabilities for vaulted centos releases. Specifically centos 4.3 but we'll need 4.4 when it is vaulted too. Any helpful links to information on this or a reputable mirror would be fantastic. Thanks.

5.0: installing everything
by Steve Thompson 04 May '07

04 May '07

I realize that the @everything packages option is now gone in CentOS 5.0 (ix86 and x86_64), but my experiments to date don't show how to practically simulate the same effect (and I have a good reason for doing so). I want all packages, all languages. If one installs from CD, and selects all packages and options, the resulting anaconda-ks.cfg file does not have a complete package list. For example: - performing a kickstart install using the package list from the full-install-from-CD anaconda-ks.cfg results in a system with only about a third of the available packages, missing some notables such as openssl. - A kickstart install with a wild-card glob in the packages list does not work either; one gets a minimal install. Wild cards evidently not supported. - A kickstart install with a full listing of every rpm (not packages) in the %packages section does work, but it takes _two days_ of 100% CPU to resolve dependencies. So, how do I determine the proper full package list to use in the %packages section for a kickstart install? Do I have to go grubbing around in comps.xml to find the proper package list? TIA, Steve

Centos kernel does not boot, redhat does (i2o raid controller problem)
by Rainer Traut 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi, following system: Dell PE2650, 2 2.4ghz Xeon, 1gb ram, Dell Perc4DC Controller It has EL5 installed, but I wanted to change to Centos because of the missing workstation packages in the entry server repository. The system was redhat up2date until yesterday, so the latest kernel was missing. I changed redhat-release to centos-release packages and the new centos kernel was installed the via yum. This kernel does not boot. Error messages: i20:iop0: Get status timeout i20:iop0: Reset timeout i20:iop0: could not reset controller i20:iop0: Reset timeout kernel panic Here are my findings when setting emulation in scsi adapter bios to i2o: - initial redhat el5 install fails, no adapter found (mayby centos install is affected, too, have to set to 'mass storage' to install) - redhat's kernel-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 and kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 boot with i20 enabled - centos latest 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 does not! error messages above - setting to 'mass storage' all is fine Is this really a centos kernel problem (I read in centos kernel changelog about special centos changes), or is this for any reason because this is actually a redhat system? Thx Rainer

Centos 5 text install doesnt install all of GNOME
by Robert Moskowitz 04 May '07

04 May '07

I did find this out in another message here and they are right. This is a missing piece (one of many!) in the text install. Even if you select Gnome as your workstation WIndows environment, not all of Gnome gets in. You still have to do: yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" Then edit /etc/inittab file to reflect as shown below id:5:initdefault: ^ This number should be 5.

centos 5 - where are genkey and crypto-utils?
by Florin Andrei 04 May '07

04 May '07

The RHEL 5 documentation talks about a utility called genkey, apparently part of a package called crypto-utils: https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Gui… However, I can't find that package or that utility on CentOS 5 - did a few digging with yum but nothing showed up. Anybody knows: 1. What happened to those things on CentOS 5? 2. What is the "official" CentOS 5 replacement for genkey, in case it's missing from the distribution? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Apache User Isolation/Perchild, or PHP "chroot"?
by Dan Mensom 04 May '07

04 May '07

Has anyone set up any form of apache user isolation on CentOS? I have multiple virtual hosts on my machine, run by users who do not trust eachother. The problem is that any php script run by apache is able to do things like raw file io on other users' .htpasswds, php scripts, hidden directory listings, and so on. Database passwords can even be divulged in this way, since they are often stored in .php scripts, which can be read "in the raw" as files by other php scripts. What is the easiest method for dealing with this? I found http://webauth.stanford.edu/manual/mod/perchild.html but it does not seem to be compiled with the CentOS 5 apache, and I've read elsewhere that php has issues with mutlithreaded apache. Is there any easy way to isolate individual users, by either having apache setuid, or chrooting php scripts, or (ugh) a clean way to run a new apache copy for each vhost? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello, I've got the first disk of centos5. I plan to do a minimal install, correct me but that's where you uncheck everything, what about base do you uncheck that as well? I am curious as to the 5.0 server CD? Anyway i want to implement software raid during the install. I've got two identical drives hda and hdb when i get to the disk partition screen, this is in text mode, do i select raid, then what? I'd also like to give my volume groups more memorable names than volgroup00 and the like. Thanks. Dave.

'exclude' option failed for yum on centos 5

Hi, 'exclude' option fails for yum on centos 5. I tried to yum install a group on a x86_64 machine, but it installs both ix86 version and x86_64 version. So I added the following line to /etc/yum.conf, clears /var/cache/yum/, then run 'yum groupinstall Ruby', but it reports that ix86 version packages will be installed still. Any one know what's the correct syntax to exclude one or more 'arch' from group installation on centos 5? Please help.

Intel 965 Chipset and CentOS 5
by J 03 May '07

03 May '07

I'm trying to install CentOS 5 on an Intel DG965W MB, but I'm getting a kernel panic: VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(253,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(253,0) I suspect it is because the drive is not being recognized (at all), but I'm not sure. I've tried various combinations of flags, including: all-generic-ide, pci=nommconf, remapping [enabled], irqpoll, acpi=off ... ... but the result is always the same... Are there issues with this chipset and Centos 5? ( RHEL's HCL is unhelpful. It was empty, when I checked. )

Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024 - Centos 5

Hello all, I can't get higher than 1280x1024 resolution (60hz, 24 depth). I'm running Centos 5 x86 64bit on AMD Athlon64 x2 4600, Geforce 6200 PCI express.

rsync problems on windows

More CentOS5 nVidia fun
by Bart Schaefer 03 May '07

03 May '07

In the vein of the "Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024" and "Another CentOS 5 oddity..." threads, I just installed CentOS5 w/Xen kernel on a Sony VAIO desktop with an nVidia NV5M64 (RIVA TNT2 64 Pro) card, using an old Samsung SyncMaster 700NF monitor. system-config-display chose the highest possible resolution for the monitor and Xorg did its best to drive it, but it just isn't quite right: rhgb merely made a mess, which only sort of clears up when gdm starts. After I log in, only bits and pieces of menus and windows are painted. Rebooting single user I re-ran system-config-display and it claimed to have written 1280x1024 into xorg.conf, but in fact it didn't: it omitted the "Screen" section entirely. Rhgb was still messed up, gdm still seemed to be at some very high resolution, and then after logging in I found myself at 800x600 with no option to set the resolution higher. Three passes of switch-to-text-console-and-run system-config-display (including manually selecting my monitor) later, I finally have everything working, but only at 1024x768. If I choose any higher resolution, the repainting issues return. I won't really need the GUI very often after I get other things set up, so I'm not particularly worried about this, but I thought I'd report it for benefit of anyone else who might encounter a problem with a similar video card. I'd be interested to hear further thoughts on whether this could be a kernel issue, as suggested by Preston Crawford. (I have installed all the updates, for what that's worth).

[CentOS] Good things about CentOS 5; problem with flash in seamonkey
by Mark Hull-Richter 03 May '07

03 May '07

I'd like to point out that overall I am quite pleased with CentOS 5, although I am having more fun with it than I did with 4.4 and I knew less about CentOS then (duh). Most things seem to work fine, including a relatively smooth installation from the DVD image I downloaded, although the number of screensavers I can see (and this could be related to the ATI/dual head problem) is pathetically low - there are only 5 or six. Phleagh. I had no trouble reinstalling the border theme I had before, and although I don't particularly like the new main menu construction, it makes sense enough to be not too unworthwhile. I'm curious about how the suspend function works, how to reactivate (nothing seemed to work) and, most importantly, how to get it OFF the main menu. Anyway, I reinstalled Seamonkey 1.1.1, and it landed flawlessly, although I had to look to find the x86_64 version. It came without any plugins, as usual, but I have tried reinstalling the flash player plugin, and it just won't work, not even with nspluginwrapper installed. Is there some trick to this that I need to know (and what?)?

Installing from working Linux partition
by Kenneth Porter 03 May '07

03 May '07

I've got some servers running other flavors of Linux (eg. FC2) and I'm wondering if I can install CentOS5 to a new empty partition (eg. on a new drive) while running under the old OS? It seems like the installer OS just needs some hardware sniffing ability and the ability to read the installation media and write to the target media, so in principle one should be able to install from a working system to the new partition and then update one's existing GRUB config. Is this doable or perhaps even commonly done?

Virtual Machine Manager DNS resolver
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 03 May '07

Hi all, I'm trying to install CentOS 5 as a domU in a CentOS5 dom0 system and I use Virtual Machine Manager to do it. I've dumped all CentOS5 CDs contents in /var/www/CentOS to make a local http media source. It works fine in dom0 browser. When I arrive in "Locating installation media[*]" step I point out to http://localhost/CentOS (which is perfectly active and available) resource, but the application always responds the same: Error, HTTP resource not available. I've also tried with http://127.0.0.1/CentOS but I get the same error message. ¿?¿? [*] I follow the http://www.centos.org/docs//5/html/Virtualization-en-US/virt-install-wizard… documantation. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Running SELinux necessary for the average user?
by Preston Crawford 03 May '07

I'm wondering because it seems to be slowing my machine down considerably under CentOS 5. Especially the daemon they include to monitor SELinux and the program that attaches to it. I tried opening this earlier and it just sat there spinning. I want the knowledge that my machine is secure and safe. But I'm wondering if the price is worth it. Is it necessary for my machine to be fairly secure? Preston

Centos %.0 failed to recognize my video card
by Richard E Miles 03 May '07

03 May '07

I tried to install Centos 5.0 yesterday and it was a complete failure. The installer could not detect my vidio card. The vidio card is a nvidia geforce fx GeForce FX (generic). This is the same vidio card that was perfectly recognized in Centos 4.3 The anaconda installer repartitioned my disk and installed a custom selection of software. This took about 1 hr. When I rebooted it would no start x windows. I even took a file copy of the Centos 4.3 xorg.conf and put it in /etc/X11 directory. I tried system-config-display reconfig and it failed to recognize the vidio. I reinstalled Centos 4.3. I have had the same problem when I was trying to install fedora core 5. I am convinced the redhat people removed the monitor selection for a viewsonic VP171b. This is why it must have happened. I had reported this problem when I was on the fedora core system. But Redhat did not do anything to correct the problem. I am stuck at Centos 4.3 forever. I am so frustrated I even tried Ubuntu but that would not recognize my usb 1.0 mouse. I am waiting to amass the cash necessary to buy an apple Imac. At least with there systems everything just works without problems. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered Linux user 46097

Mouting Xen DomU images in Dom0
by Devraj Mukherjee 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hi everyone, I have a CentOS 5 Domain0 with a CentOS 5 Domain U installed on my machine, it all works flawlessly. One of the problems I am faced with is transporting the Domain U image to another machine (not in real time). Since the Virtual Machine Manager allows installing the guest operating system using the CentOS 5 installer, it ends up treating the partition (in my case an LVM partition) as a physical disk. To backup my Xen image is xm save the best way of doing it? Or can I infact mount the partitions created by the Domain U in Domain 0 and tar.gz them. Any feedback is welcome. -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

I have tried using the correct (autodetected) monitor type (digital and analog), a generic LCD with 1280x1024, nothing works. Every time I set the configuration, the X server fails to restart and I wind up with single-head monitoring (duplicate displays on both screens). Here's what I have for an xorg.conf file (now): # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection --- The strangest part is that system-config-display comes up with the right video card and the right monitor type, but I don't see either one here.... -- Mark Hull-Richter, Linux Kernel Engineer DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-330-7691 - fax Ask me about CentOS Linux, and escape from Windows forever!

Another CentOS 5 oddity: reboot and the X server fails to come up
by Mark Hull-Richter 02 May '07

02 May '07

I had to reboot my work machine today, and it came up in text mode (!). I did an init 5, but that had no effect (wrong command?). I killed the three gdm processes, and voila, X server mode. Where do I look to find out what is not right here? Thanks. -- Mark Hull-Richter, Linux Kernel Engineer DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-330-7691 - fax Ask me about CentOS Linux, and escape from Windows forever!

Centos 5 install on BIOS RAID ie. dmraid M/B
by Eugene Fong 02 May '07

02 May '07

I am experiencing hangs on the Keyboard Lang selection screen in GUI Mode install on a M/B setup with Intel BIOS SATA RAID. Workaround is to use 'linux nodmraid' switch which disables visibility of RAID volumes during drive detection of Disk Druid. Has anyone else tried this config without workarounds and success?

No grahical install on notebook with Centos 5, did work with Centos 4
by Robert Moskowitz 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hello again. Working to put Centos 5 on my old Toshiba Portege 3490ct (256Mb memory). PCMCIA CDrom and Lan card. Using 'linux askmethod' to be able to install off of my FTP server (have done 4 PC installs so far off that server successfully) It's video card is: S3 86C270-294 Savage IX/MV After recognizing the video card I get the message about no graphical install available. Putting on and external monitor does not change this. Problem with the character mode install is no LVM partition management functions. I need to alter the default partitioning. This IS an older notebook. It does have Centos 4.4 on it right now. How would I use the ftp install and specify 'acpi=no' (perhaps the old bios???). Or I could build a partial kickstart file on a diskette (add the USB diskette drive) to do the partitioning and then switch to package selection (and maybe even in graphical mode)? Some guidance here would be great.

Configuring bind
by Ron Dyck 02 May '07

02 May '07

I'm new to Centos and am in the process of building a new server. On my test box, I've installed CentOS v5 x86_64. When starting bind for the first time I found that named.conf and various zone files where missing. I installed named.conf along with localdomain.zone, localhost.zone, named.broadcast, named.ca, named.ip6.local, named.local, named.zero along with a couple test domains. The problem I'm having is when I use this box as a nameserver from another box or a workstation. If at the prompt of the test box I can ping say google.com, but not from my workstation or other local development boxes when using this testbox as a nameserver. The named.conf and zone files were copied from another local development box with RH 8 installed. I am of course pointing to the test box to use as DNS server in my workstation tcp/ip config. Any help would be appreciated. -- ================= Ron Dyck pulpfree1(a)gmail.com www.webbtech.net =================

New lists
by John Summerfield 02 May '07

02 May '07

Think of this as a motion as one might move at a meeting. Discussion and refinement are in order. I don't understand the current rationale for a single CentOS users' list; probably in times past it was sensible, but I think the time has come for splitting the list by release. I'm speaking from my own perspective, but I'm sure others have similar stories. How many users use all CentOS releases? I am not on the Fedora users' list because of the volume of email, though I do use Fedora Core and might usefully contribute to FC in that way. Similarly, I'm no longer on the OpenSUSE list, same story. The time has come when I must, again, reduce the volume of email I see, because it's clogging my modem. I use CentOS4 and plan to use CentOS5. I am interested in email for those, but not for CentOS 3 (I have no systems) nor CentOS 2 (I have one RHL 7.3 system that thinks it's CentOS 2, but it's in maintenance mode, and anything I do I will do alone). I don't know how much email I would eliminate by dropping email for Centos < C4, but when I move to CentOS 5 I will lose interest in C4 and then there will be savings. If this list were split into one for each release, then subscribers could choose which email they see. At present, it's all or none, and neither suits me. If this list is split into four, then I expect the transition method would be to subscribe everyone on this list to the new four. At some point, this would become read-only (nobody posts), or maybe all mail for this goes (via a filter to fix the headers) to all the others. By "fix the headers" I mean "do whatever it takes to ensure replies go to the list the subscriber is replying to." I'm sure this transition arrangement is imperfect; my objectives are to encourage CentOS to have the separate lists, and to ensure that the transition is fairly easy for users so we don't lose lots of subscribers. What do others think? -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list

The equivalent beasty doesn't exist in the x86_64 config file. Also, I built my 2.6.21 kernel by using the Red Hat/CentOS 2.6.18-8.1.1 kernel configuration file and did a "make oldconfig" which just prompts for how to handle changes in the kernel config from the old config file version. Nothing came up about the stack size (shouldn't have the way "make oldconfig" works) so I should have the same options set for my kernel. It works but the RH/CentOS kernel doesn't. I'd prefer to stay with the standard kernel if possible but I need to be able to "fix" whatever is causing the reboot. If it's as simple as turning off some option, I can automate that. I'm just hoping it's not some patch that applies a 4K stack limit without even having the ability to turn it off. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Fwd: Response from Canon - MultiPASS (KMM7153196V60774L0KM)

My apologies for this because it is, technically, OT, but it is a classic example of what rotten support Linux (and CentOS) get in the US from equipment manufacturers. The whole email is a lie because they DO have the drivers on their asia site, they just don't want us 'Murkins to get our hands on them.

Sound problems with CentOS
by Preston Crawford 02 May '07

02 May '07

Has anyone experienced this before? This happened to me even under CentOS 4.x. But basically what happens is that when I play MP3s, whatever the right speaker crackles at higher volume. And it's always that speaker and only that speaker. If I turn the balance to the other speaker I have no problems. So it feels like it might be a mixer issue. I use Alsa, of course, as that's what the default is. Is this a known issue or does someone know how to fix it? Preston

Sftp slow on both our centos installs
by Jamie Lists 02 May '07

02 May '07

The short version. Copying over SFTP to our centos boxes maxes out at 2MB a sec. The Question: Is there some sort of speed limitation somewhere in the ssh/sftp daemon? Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? The long version We have centos 4.6 installed on 2 different machines, different hardware, different nics. Even on 2 different subnets. I've tried different switches, 1000 Full/Half 100 Full/Half and still get the same speed. It maxes out at 2MB a sec. Same switch, network, client using sftp to our xserves gets 10MB a sec. Basically filling the pipe of the network. The only thing that is the same on both the linux boxes is the distro. So i thought maybe someone may have come across this before. I haven't tried other protocols yet (FTP and HTTP) I'll check that tomorrow. Thanks, Jamie

CentOS 5 and ndiswrapper
by David G. Miller 02 May '07

02 May '07

This is an abbreviated version of an e-mail that I also posted to the ndiswrapper mailing list. Compressing the long story, I ran into the same problem using CentOS 5 as I had with Fedora Core 6 and ndiswrapper: my laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000 series with a Broadcom BCM43xx wireless NIC) would lock up or spontaneously reboot after a few hours if I brought up the wireless interface. I also tried using the native bcm43xx driver but the system wouldn't even boot. On a whim, I tried the current "plain vanilla" kernel (2.6.21) from kernel.org. My laptop has been up and stable running the 2.6.21 kernel with the wireless NIC up using ndiswrapper ever since. Does anyone have any idea why the un-patched kernel from kernel.org works fine with ndiswrapper but both the FC6 and CentOS (RHEL) kernels lock up or spontaneously reboot? I built the 2.6.21 kernel by copying the config file for 2.6.18-8.1.1 from /boot and doing a "make oldconfig". Everything is x86_64. Cheers, Dave P.S. Frosting on the cake: the secure digital card reader built into the laptop also works with the 2.6.21 kernel. -- Politics, n.

CentOS 5 - Issues with multimedia
by first last 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi, I am having some issues with CentOS 5. -XMMS stops playing MP3s without apparent reason. I leave it playing some album and it will just stop whenever it feels like it. It will go into "pause" and just stay there. Pressing on the pause button to resume does nothing at all. I thought it could be some newly encoded songs, but it does the same for a song that I have played 100% times. -K3B takes 1:40 to create a DVD. Initially I thought it could be because I was writing a DVD with 2GB files on and UDF extensions, but creating the image first and then burning that takes exactly as long. I am running a clean install of CentOS 5 i386 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 (Core Due, 1GB RAM) with SELinux on "enforcing". None of these issues happen on the same machine running kubuntu 6.10. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question? Someone out there knows the answer.

CentOS 5 VESAFB

Hello. Does anyone know why # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set in kernel config? I find very useful having a large text console on servers (exp. without X running!). Now my setting vga=0x345 in grub.conf does not work anymore... Thanks! --Clorden

Hi, Last time I was on Karanbir mentioned Puppet, -what do you all think of Cobbler? I plan to deploy one of the suggestions this week since it looks like i'll be dealing with 2000 centos systems instead of the few hundred I had predicted. -krb
