PCI unable to handle 64bit address space for
by RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hello all this is my first post to this list so i would like to than you all in advance for your time and consideration. I am in the process of building a new server and have purchased some used hardware. There seems to be some hardware issuses and i am hoping nothing was damaged during shipping. However i am in contact with intel and we are tring to figure out the exact problem via email. So i have insalled centos 4 from the four CD set and have done all the updates through the GUI. I must say a GUI in Linux land is nice have been working mostly on old FreeBSD boxes none of which have GUI installed. Anyways the above mentioned hardware is this INTEL SR2300 CHASSIS INTEL SE7500WV2 MAINBOARD INTEL (DUAL) XEON P4 2GHZ CPU HP 1G ECC RAM ADAPTEC 29160LP SCSI CONTROLLER PROMISE FASTRAC SOMETHING OR OTHER has nothing attached to it anyhow. I have four Seagate Cheetas 147G 10.6K SCSI harddrive most are firmware version 0006 (been meaning to update this to 00007 before i go to production) HERE IS MY PROBLEM ======================================= When i boot up the machine i get this error off the getgo PCI unable to handle 64bit address space for ========================================================== Everything seems to work fine but i am woundering before i go any further should i be installing the 64bit version of Centos on this machine? Is there a 64 version of Centos? anyways any help or advice on this matter is greatly apprciated. ps if anyone is familiar with this mainboard and hardware setup i would love some insight as to the was the BIOS error event codes that this machine keeps spiting out at me mean. Thank you in advance -- http://www.computerking.ca http://www.canmail.org

How about a simple sanity check in the startup script? ping -c 4 192.168.140.13 Put that in before you attempt to mount the filesystem to make sure there aren't network problems. -- Bowie

Apache 2.2
by Devraj Mukherjee 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hi everyone, I suspect that Apache 2.0.52 as distributed with CentOS has a memory leak issue. Is anyone aware of this? More importantly I wanted to ask if there are any "yum" repositories for Apache 2.2 avaiable? Thanks. -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

Problem with NFS mount after upgrade to 4.4
by Alessio Cecchi 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hello After i have upgraded to centos 4.4 i have a problem during the boot with NFS, CentOS can't mount NFS shares: Oct 2 11:47:28 s2 mount: mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.140.13' failed: Oct 2 11:47:28 s2 mount: System Error: No route to host. Oct 2 11:47:34 s2 mount: mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.140.13' failed: Oct 2 11:47:34 s2 mount: System Error: No route to host. Oct 2 11:47:40 s2 mount: mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.140.13' failed: Oct 2 11:47:40 s2 mount: System Error: No route to host. Oct 2 11:47:40 s2 netfs: Mounting NFS filesystems: failed Oct 2 11:47:40 s2 netfs: Mounting other filesystems: succeeded This CentOS is only a client NFS. If i run "/etc/init.d/netfs start" shares are mount regolary. It can't be a network problem, the only one changes i have made to this server is upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4. Why this? Thanks

PHP-gtk anyone?
by Nigel Kendrick 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hi, I seem to be going round in circles trying to install php-gtk for Agata on a CentOS 4.4 installation - the configure keeps falling out with: checking for libglade-config... no checking for libglade... no configure: error: Unable to locate libglade I have installed libglade 1.99 and 2.01 directly from rpm but something's not meeting up. Is there a nice, yum-type install for libglade and php-gtk - I can't seem to find any in the usual places!? Failing that, any pointers?? Thanks

CentOs4.3
by Dirk Roessler 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

How can I efficiently search for programs and packages that are available as part of the CentOs4.3 distribution? I am using CentOs4.3 and need to install packages that are apparently not part of this distribution. What RedHat version do I have to consider if I want to use rpm's for RedHat instead? Dirk

firewall issue
by Ski Dawg 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hello everyone, I am setting up a new system for use as a testing/demo/trial-and-error system. I have installed CentOS 4.4 on it. There is not an X-environment, so I will need to fix this from the command line (via ssh access). I am trying to do an nfs export from this box to another on my internal home network. I have figured out that it is a firewall issue on the CentOS box (I turn off the CentOS firewall and the mount works). My problem is that I am not sure how to resolve this. I have not done any configuration with iptables before. In the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables are the lines: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT and there are not any deny lines above these. I think those lines were added when I ran system-config-securitylevel-tui. Those are the only lines that I can find that mention port 2049 or nfs. Those lines look to me like they are for accepting incoming connections only. Is that correct? What do I need to do so that I can do the nfs export out of this box? -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Random Thought: no maintenance: Impossible to fix.

Supermicro X6DH8-G2+ / sensors not working
by Michael Kress 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hello, I'm having problems with lm_sensors on the motherboard Supermicro X6DH8-G2+ sensors-detect gives me the output attached in the textfile sensors-detect-output.txt As soon as I execute the recommended 'modprobe smbus-arp' I receive the following message: FATAL: Module smbus_arp not found. When I execute sensors, I receive the following: ====================================================== [root@matrix ~]# sensors eeprom-i2c-0-57 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 1100 Unknown EEPROM type (8) eeprom-i2c-0-53 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 1100 Unknown EEPROM type (8) ====================================================== I also attached sensors.conf from /etc for reference. I'm using xen-3.0.2 with kernel 2.6.16 and all Hardware Monitoring and i2c stuff compiled as modules (as being done in the standard kernel). My distribution is CentOS-4.4 hence my sensors version is 'lm_sensors-2.8.7-2.40.3' sensors doesn't run either with the non-xen kernel, i.e. the stock kernel that came with CentOS-4.4: kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL Is there any way to get sensors running on this mainboard? Thanks in advance!

You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel 82801EB ICH5 Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): YES Module loaded succesfully. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): YES Module loaded succesfully. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? SMBUS To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-i801 # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe smbus-arp # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors?

Other examples are *-isa-* for everything on the ISA bus, and # lm78-j-i2c-*-4e for all lm78-j chips on address 0x4e of any I2C bus. # # If more chip statements match a specific chip, they are all considered. # Later lines overrule earlier lines, so if you set the in0 label for # lm78-* to "This", and later on the in0 label for lm78-isa-* to "That", # "That" is used for LM78 chips on the ISA bus, and "This" for LM78 # chips on a non-ISA bus. # # chip "lm78-*" "lm78-j-*" "lm79-*" # # # FEATURE NAMES # ------------- # Feature names are used in 'label', 'compute', 'set', and 'ignore' lines. # Example feature names are 'in0', 'temp2', 'in3_min', and 'temp3_over'. # These features are defined for each chip in lib/chips.c. # # Undefined features will be silently ignored in 'label' and 'compute' lines. # Undefined features in 'set' lines will result in 'Unknonw feature name' # when running 'sensors -s'. # # Unfortunately, feature names starting with a number must be in # double quotes or you get 'parse error, expecting 'NAME''. # # If you have trouble, verify the features in lib/chips.c!!! # # # LABEL LINES # ----------- # A label line describes what a certain feature stands for on your # mainboard. Programs can retrieve these names and display them. # If no label is specified for a certain feature, the default name # (ie. 'fan1' for fan1) is used. # # If you specify a label for in1, this label is also used for in1_min and # in1_max, unless they have their own labels declared. There are several # of these logical groups. # # These are as advised in the LM78 and LM79 data sheets, and used on most # boards we have seen. # # label in0 "VCore 1" # label in1 "VCore 2" # label in2 "+3.3V" # label in3 "+5V" # label in4 "+12V" # label in5 "-12V" # label in6 "-5V" # # # COMPUTE LINES # ------------- # A compute line describes how to scale a certain feature. There are # two expressions in it: the first describes how the /proc value must # be translated to a user value, the second how a user value must be # translated to a /proc value. '@' is the value to operate on. You may # refer to other readable features (like '2 * vid'). # # The following operators are valid: + - * / ( ) ^ ` # ^ is e**x and ` is ln(x) (valid in library version 2.0.0 / # lm_sensors 2.8.0 or higher) # # Like for the label statement, there are logical groups here. They are # sometimes a bit different, though. For example, fan1_div is in the # logical label group of fan1 (it gets the same label if none is declared # for it), but it is not in the compute group of fan1 (as it uses a # completely different system of values). # # # VOLTAGE COMPUTATION DETAILS # --------------------------- # Most voltage sensors in sensor chips have a range of 0 to 4.096 Volts. # This is generally sufficient for the 3.3 and CPU (2.5V, for example) # supply voltages, so the sensor chip reading is the actual voltage. # # Other supply voltages must be scaled with an external resistor network. # The chip driver generally reports the 'raw' value 0 - 4.09 V, and the # userspace application must convert this raw value to an actual voltage. # The 'compute' lines provide this facility. # # Unfortunately the resistor values vary among motherboard types. # Therefore you may have to adjust the computations in this file # to match your motherboard. # # For positive voltages (in3, in4), two resistors are used, with the following # formula (R1,R2: resistor values, Vs: read voltage, Vin: pin voltage) # R1 = R2 * (Vs/Vin - 1) # For negative voltages (in5, in6) two resistors are used, with the following # formula (Rin,Rf: resistor values, Vs: read voltage, Vin: pin voltage) # Rin = (Vs * Rf) / Vin # # Note: Some chips use a different formula, see it87 section for example. # # Here are the official LM78 and LM79 data sheet values. # Vs R1,Rin R2,Rf Vin # in3 +5.0 6.8 10 +2.98 # in4 +12.0 30 10 +3.00 # in5 -12.0 240 60 +3.00 # in6 -5.0 100 60 +3.00 # # These would lead to these declarations: # compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1) # compute in4 ((30/10)+1)*@ , @/((30/10)+1) # compute in5 -(240/60)*@ , -@/(240/60) # compute in6 -(100/60)*@ , -@/(100/60) # # On almost any mainboard we have seen, the Winbond compute values lead to # much better results, though. # # Vs R1,Rin R2,Rf Vin # in4 +12.0 28 10 +3.00 # in5 -12.0 210 60.4 +3.00 # in6 -5.0 90.9 60.4 +3.00 # # These leads to these declarations: # compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1) # compute in4 ((28/10)+1)*@ , @/((28/10)+1) # compute in5 -(210/60.4)*@ , -(a)/(210/60.4) # compute in6 -(90.9/60.4)*@ , -(a)/(90.9/60.4) # # # SET LINES # --------- # Set statements set things like limits. Complete expressions can be # used. Not everything can sensibly be set: setting 'in0', for example, # is impossible! These settings are put through the compute translations; # so if we specify '12.8' for in6, '3.2' will actually be written! # # Important note: In the 'sensors' program, these only take effect # after running 'sensors -s'!!! # # Here are some examples: # # set in0_max vid*1.05 # set in0_min vid*0.95 # set temp1_over 40 # set temp1_hyst 37 # # Think of tempx_over as 'alarm set' and tempx_hyst as 'alarm clear' # thresholds. In most cases the 'over' value should be higher than # the 'hyst' value by several degrees. # # # IGNORE LINES # ------------ # Ignore statements tell certain features are not wanted. User programs can # still read them if they really want, though; this is just an advisory # marking. 'in0' would also invalidate 'in0_max' and 'in0_min'. # 'ignore' does not disable anything in the actual sensor chip; it # simply advises the user program to not access that data. # # ignore in0 # # # STATEMENT ORDER # --------------- # Statements can go in any order, EXCEPT that some statements depend # on others. Dependencies could be either in the library or the driver. # A 'compute' statement must go before a 'set' statement # for the same feature or else the 'set' won't be computed correctly. # This is a library dependency. # A 'set fan1_div' statement must go before a 'set fan1_min' statement, # because the driver uses the divisor in calculating the minimum. # Also, one should set vrm prior to using vid in any formula. # # # BUS LINES # --------- # There is one other feature: the 'bus' statement. An example is below. # # bus "i2c-0" "SMBus PIIX4 adapter at e800" "Non-I2C SMBus adapter" # # If we refer from now on to 'i2c-0' in 'chip' lines, this will run-time # be matched to this bus. So even if the PIIX4 is called 'i2c-5' at that # moment, because five other adapters were detected first, 'i2c-0' in # the config file would always only match this physical bus. In the above # config file, this feature is not needed; but the next lines would # only affect the LM75 chips on the PIIX4 adapter: # # chip "lm75-i2c-0-*" # # You should really use the output of /proc/bus/chips to generate bus lines, # because one mistyped characted will inhibit the match. Wildcards are not # yet supported; spaces at the end are ignored, though. # # # BEEPS # ----- # Some chips support alarms with beep warnings. When an alarm is triggered # you can be warned by a beeping signal through your computer speaker. It # is possible to enable beeps for all alarms on a chip using the following # line: # # set beep_enable 1 # # or disable them using: # # set beep_enable 0 # ########################################################################## #### Here begins the real configuration file chip "lm78-*" "lm78-j-*" "lm79-*" "w83781d-*" # These are as advised in the LM78 and LM79 data sheets, and used on almost # any mainboard we have seen. label in0 "VCore 1" label in1 "VCore 2" label in2 "+3.3V" label in3 "+5V" label in4 "+12V" label in5 "-12V" label in6 "-5V" # For positive voltages (in3, in4), two resistors are used, with the following # formula (R1,R2: resistor values, Vs: read voltage, Vin: pin voltage) # R1 = R2 * (Vs/Vin - 1) # For negative voltages (in5, in6) two resistors are used, with the following # formula (Rin,Rf: resistor values, Vs: read voltage, Vin: pin voltage) # Rin = (Vs * Rf) / Vin # # Here are the official LM78 and LM79 data sheet values. # Vs R1,Rin R2,Rf Vin # in3 +5.0 6.8 10 +2.98 # in4 +12.0 30 10 +3.00 # in5 -12.0 240 60 +3.00 # in6 -5.0 100 60 +3.00 # # These would lead to these declarations: # compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1) # compute in4 ((30/10)+1)*@ , @/((30/10)+1) # compute in5 -(240/60)*@ , -@/(240/60) # compute in6 -(100/60)*@ , -@/(100/60) # # On almost any mainboard we have seen, the Winbond compute values lead to # much better results, though. # # Vs R1,Rin R2,Rf Vin # in4 +12.0 28 10 +3.00 # in5 -12.0 210 60.4 +3.00 # in6 -5.0 90.9 60.4 +3.00 # # These leads to these declarations: compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1) compute in4 ((28/10)+1)*@ , @/((28/10)+1) compute in5 -(210/60.4)*@ , -(a)/(210/60.4) compute in6 -(90.9/60.4)*@ , -(a)/(90.9/60.4) # Here, we assume the VID readings are valid, and we use a max. 5% deviation set in0_min vid*0.95 set in0_max vid*1.05 set in1_min vid*0.95 set in1_max vid*1.05 set in2_min 3.3 * 0.95 set in2_max 3.3 * 1.05 set in3_min 5.0 * 0.95 set in3_max 5.0 * 1.05 set in4_min 12 * 0.95 set in4_max 12 * 1.05 set in5_max -12 * 0.95 set in5_min -12 * 1.05 set in6_max -5 * 0.95 set in6_min -5 * 1.05 # Examples for lm78, lm78j, lm79 temperature limits # set temp_over 40 # set temp_hyst 37 # Examples for w83781d temperature limits # set temp1_over 40 # set temp1_hyst 37 # set temp2_over 52 # set temp2_hyst 47 # set temp3_over 52 # set temp3_hyst 47 # Ignore fans you don't actually have # ignore fan1 # ignore fan2 # ignore fan3 # In case a lm78 is used together with a lm75, the lm78 temp sensor will # generally show the M/B temperature while the lm75 temp sensor will show # the CPU temperature. # label temp "M/B Temp" # Uncomment the following line to enable beeps for all alarms on this chip # set beep_enable 1 chip "lm75-*" # Most boards don't need scaling.

Tesseract OCR enginer
by fredex 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Has anyone here tried the new Tesseract OCR engine that google has recently released? I gave it a whirl last night. IT compiles more or less fine on Centos 4.4 if you don't mind lots of warnings. Took a scanned image I already had that contained a column of newspaper text, GIMP'ed it to cut everything but the text, increased contrast to get rid of grayish background, saved as uncompressed tiff. Fired up tesseract and it is STILL running, around ten hours later, consuming 90% of the CPU. This doesn't seem right... Clues? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:9 (niv) -----------------------------

Hardware or Software RAID w/CentOS 4.4 & Gigabyte GA-81945GZME-RH motherboard
by Dale 30 Sep '06

30 Sep '06

Hi all, Helping a friend setup a new machine - it will be a low volume web and mail server. He wants to set it up with 2 drives in a mirror setup. The motherboard he bought supports mirroring on the hardware level. I have heard of issues before using hardware raid on Linux systems. Which way would you recommend we go on this? Thanks for any suggestions. Dale

Changing system users pass via webmin
by Ivan Arteaga 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Hi List, I need my users to change their passwords, so I defined them as webmin users and gived them access only to the system/change password option to do so. So far so good... they changed their system passwords (in order to access email) but the change it's not reflected in samba passwords. I defined the option change password in other modules in webmin but it doesn't works, I also have in the smb.conf "unix password sync = yes" but the same. I will appreciate if somebody can give me an idea about how to ride this, or maybe using another app? o_0 Thanks in advance. --Ivan.

Installing CentOS 2.1 on ICH7R controller
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I'm trying to install CentOS 2.1 on SATA drive that lives on ICH7R controller. I have the controller setup in BIOS to "compatibility" mode, which means it should look just like regular IDE controller to the OS. In this mode, ide0 and ide1 are PATA controllers, and 4 SATA ports are mapped to ide2 and ide3. If I boot from the 2.1 installation CD, all the drives are detected (CD-ROM as hda, and four SATA drives as hde, hdf, hdg, and hdh, just as expecte per above mappings). It detect IRQ for ide2/3 right away, and says it will probe for IRQ for ide0 later. Well, it hangs just after it probes and detects IRQ for ide0. I've tried all bunch of "standard" kernel options (turnning off DMA, disabling ACPI, and so forth), none of which helped. If I install the OS on some other box (with older SATA controller), update the kernel to 2.4.9-e.70, move the disk to the new box, the kernel boots just fine (however, the initrd image points to the wrong root device -- and I can't really boot into rescue to fix it, since kernel on install CD will hang). Hence I attempted to rebuild 2.1 install CD with 2.4.9-e.70 kernel (which I haven't managed to do yet). I also attempted to use CentOS 3.8 CD in rescue mode. However, regardless of my BIOS settings, it loads ata_piix drivers, and uses the controller in SATA mode, which isn't really what I want (mkinitrd trying to be too smart, but I have couple of tricks to try yet). I'm currently attempting to force it into PATA emulation mode by supplying "ide2=io1,io2,irq and ide3=io1,io2,irq" parameters, and it is going *very* slow and constantly complaining about lost interrupts. Anyhow, if anybody has some advice with getting this 2.1 install going, it would be very appreciated. -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

Re-doing the MBR
by Al Sparks 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I tried to install CentOS 4.4. This was on a machine where I've got Windows XP on the first partition (hda1). CentOS, like most of the distros will automatically install Grub in the MBR unless you tell it not to. In fact it will wipe the MBR first pretty early in the install. Here was my problem. During the install, the second CD had some sort of read issue. So I had to abort the install by intervening with the power switch. So when I rebooted, I couldn't boot into my XP because the MBR had been wiped. I pulled out an Insert distribution and did a RAM only boot up. I could still see my NTFS partition where XP was located, and I could also see where the CentOS installed the /boot partition in /dev/hda2. Now I finally solved this problem by going back and doing a minimal install of CentOS which doesn't require the second CD. I've now got something in the MBR, and I'm up an running. But does anyone have suggestions on how to semi-manually install grub so that it sees what it calls the "other" partition to boot into? Is there a tool out there that will do that? I mean, what if the install had hung up on the first disk instead? === Al

rebuilding centos 2.1 isos
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi, I'm attempting to rebuild CentOS 2.1 ISOs with the latest kernel (to attempt installation on some newer hardware with SATA drives). It seems that the original build environment used different version of anaconda than shipped with CentOS 2.1 (7.2-77_ELAS vs 7.2.32AS). I found SRPM of 7.2.32AS, however I'm wondering if there is binary package also? BTW, any hints on the things that might be problematic with rebuilding the ISOs with newer kernel are more than welcome ;-) Thanks -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

interactive bash v3 sessions and yank-last-arg
by Wojtek.Pilorz 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

The readline function yank-last-arg (normally called through M-. or M-_) in bash3 work somewhat differently than in older bash versions for commented lines: For example, if I run in bash echo 1 2 3 #echo a b c then Esc-2 Esc-. produces alarm on first try and '2' on second try; So I can recall commented history lines using Esc-p, but not the arguments using Esc-. In older versions yank-last-arg worked on commented lines as well, which was very handy. Does anyone know, how to enable that 'old' behaviour in bash?

Trouble with X and vnc-4.0-8.1.i386 on Centos 4.4
by Wojtek.Pilorz 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I have recently migrated from an old, RedHat Linux 9 - based system (Aurox 9.2) to Centos 4.4. I am having trouble with vnc causing X unusable until reboot. By unusable I mean that X screen is either blank or blinking and moving, which is not cured by X restart until reboot. My system is: Compaq EVO D510 SFF CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz RAM: 256 MB Video: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) X: X Window System Version 6.8.2, using KDE in runlevel 3 kernel: Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL (buildsvn@build-i386) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)) Monitor: Dell E176FP (LCD, resolution 1280x1024) Mouse: Compaq/Logitech PS/2 mouse with wheel The X driver used is i810 How I get into trouble: I connect to an NT 4.0 Workstation box running 800x600 resolution with vnc; my resolution is 1280x1024 so the letters are too small for me and I switch resolution to 1024x768 or 800x600 using Ctrl-Alt-+; When I move mouse pointer so it leaves vnc window (sometimes through bottom vnc window border, sometimes through right border) then screen starts blinking with the image displayed multiple times and moving. Whether the image is moving and how fast depends on mouse position (X coordinate) on the screen (the mouse cursor is not visible, btw). If I move mouse vertically, lower part of the screen is is black. If I turn on screen saver (which is analog clock) it is displayed perfectly well on both resolution I tried ( 1280x1024 and 1024x768). but when I go back to KDE the screen is again unusable. If I switch to a text console, text mode is perfectly well, too. OSD display from the monitor is OK and stable all the time. If I exit X and then start it again, the screen is either blank while in X, or blinking. (if I exit X through Ctrl-Alt-Backspace it was blank; if I exit X using KDE menus, and the start it again, it is sometimes blank, sometimes blinking). After CentOS is rebooted all is fine. If I do not change X resolution from the default 1280x1024, vnc work fine all the time. I do not see anything special in var/log/messages. On VT I started X from, I have a message (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz each time I switch from text console to X (or perhaps the other way), same whether X is working correctly or not. I have never had that kind of problem with old RHL9-based distribution. Has anyone seen such behaviour? I would appreciate any advice. (I will send more info is needed, perhaps /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?)

Systems hangs on boot
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi all, I've a AMD64 box with CentOS 4.4 and FreeBSD 6.1 installed. All worked fine until I installed webmin. Since webmin was installed, the system hangs during the boot process. Completely hangs: included the mouse, , no ctrl+alt+f(n) keycombo... The system hangs when try to load the webmin service, so I reboot with runlevel 1 and reconfigure the runlevel with chekconfig tool (I've deactivated the webmin service). And.. the systems works fine. Now (after 2/3 reboots) the systems shows the same problem, but in the HAL service. I've tried to work with FreeBS and everything works fine, so I rule out a hardware problem. -- Jordi Espasa Clofent PGP id 0xC5ABA76A #http://pgp.mit.edu/ FSF Associate Member id 4281 #http://www.fsf.org/

DNS help: "unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL)"??
by Ajay Sharma 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Recently I'm getting these errors on my slave when adding new domains: Sep 26 13:48:27 hosting named[1668]: zone wholesaletvtime.com/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL) from master 207.218.174.4#53 The master/slave transfers work for the other 1000+ domains that I have, just not the handful of new ones that I just added after the CentOS 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade. I regenerated the rndc.conf file and added the control stuff to the /etc/named.conf file so 'rndc status' works on both machines. Does anyone have any ideas? --Ajay -- Satyajot (Ajay) Sharma REVShare System Administrator

4.4 kickstart issues
by Steve Finley 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Greetings all, I'm trying to create a CentOS 4.4 kickstart CD (not a network install), duplicating what I've done for Fedora Core 3. I am having a cirular dependency for initscripts, which causes initscripts not to be installed (no /etc/inittab when the boot gets to INIT) The cascade is: initscripts-7.39.25.EL-1.centos4 requires /sbin/nash /sbin/nash is in mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1 mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1 requires dev dev appears to be in udev-039-10.15.EL4 udev-039-10.15.EL4 requires hotplug hotplug requires initscripts-7.93.14.EL I'm guessing that the hotplug spec file is wrong. I can build my own version and continue finding conflicts (like the circular dependency between cracker and cracker-dict, for example), but my real question is, how is your iso distribution able to install with this initscripts conflict? Thanks

Samba setup for CentOS-4.4 workstations
by James B. Byrne 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

I am trying to get our prototype Linux workstation to allow users to see shares on our legacy MicroSoft Windows-2000 Domain Server, I can find guides for setting up Samba as a Primary Domain Controller but I cannot seem to locate any good and expansive guide for setting up a samba workstation and just joining the domain. Perhaps this is so trivial a process no-one thinks that it requires such a guide. We have user logins to that workstation using the existing Windows Domain controller for authentication but I cannot seem to unlock how to allow access to the shares. We have CUPS configured to the networked printers but I had to use the administrator's id and password to get that to work. I am really looking for a comprehensive guide to the entire process from the CentOS workstation point of view and any pointers to such are earnestly sought. I found this site: http://linux.unimelb.edu.au/server/course/fc3/samba.html which seems to fairly complete but I lack sufficient experience with samba and kerberos to determine exactly what this is telling me. I believe at this point that I should be using the "ADS security model" but I have no idea what a "kerberos realm" is (at least with respect to an existing MicroSoft Domain). I also lack the knowledge of how to configure this portion of the set up so a guiding hand is most welcome. Our fqdn for the Microsoft domain is "brockley.harte-lyne.ca" I have set up the samba server setting to this: Basic: Workgroup: brockley Description: <fqhn of Linux workstation> Security: Auth Mode: ADS Auth. Server: BRDC-01.Brockley.Harte-Lyne.ca Kerberos Realm: blank (and I cannot set it so that the setting is preserved) Encrypt Passwords: Yes Guest Account: No Guest Account Regards, -- James B.

I used authconfig to set the connection parameters on the Linux box to authenticate against the domain controllers using winbind. The detailed instructions can be found online here: http://www.redmondmag.com/columns/article.asp?EditorialsID=858 This recipe sets up the Linux station to use active directory as the authentication system and so our users can login on the station as brockley\username and use their domain password without problem. Users can also see all of the machines on the domain from within Nautilus but when they click on a machine to see its shares then they get a permissions error. Apparently their windows credentials are not supplied to nautilus and the access mode set on the windows NTFS5 is equivalent to " root:root rwx------- " I would like to avoid having to statically mount the shares with explicitly assigned credentials but I cannot find any documentation on how to configure nautilus or CentOS to use the login credentials to access available network shares dynamically. I suspect that this problem needs to be solved on the windows side of thing and I am presently reviewing the documentation at: http://ca.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/AccessControls.ht… To see if I can figure this stuff out sufficiently to get the domain shares visible to ordinary users of the Linux station.

MD5/Checksums for debug files?
by William L. Maltby 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Being new at distro SOPs, I don't know if this is an unusual thought. With a kernel debug package (or any such debug package) would it be prudent in todays world to have a checksum or signature process to assure the downloaded file is untampered with and complete? What prompts this is I just downloaded the kernel packages that Johnny put up. I had not realized they were so large and thought "TG I'm not on dial-up anymore". Anyway, thought I would raise the question. TIA -- Bill

Jpackage tomcat55-common-lib requires eclipse-ecj >= 0:3.1.1
by Will McDonald 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Guys, I'm running into a dependecy issue running through the process of building a system for Openbravo. My test system's running CentOS 4.4, i386. Openbravo requires... - Jakarta-Tomcat version 5.5. It can be downloaded from http://tomcat.apache.org/ - Java (TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. It can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp - Oracle(r) 10g database release 2. It can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com - Apache-ant 1.6. It can be downloaded from http://ant.apache.org/ So far (see attached text file for rough documentation of build sequence) I've built Java and JTA successfully. When I try to install tomcat55 it results in... "Error: Missing Dependency: eclipse-ecj >= 0:3.1.1 is needed by package tomcat55-common-lib" Jpackage 1.6 only has eclipse-3.0.2 as far as I can see. So, my question, is there a preferred or authoratative source for packaging/or a prepackaged Eclipse that'll fulfil my requirements? I've searched around and found mention of Jason Corley 's SRPMs http://www.zarb.org/~jasonc/repo/ from https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/jpackage-discuss/2006-June/010098.html, I'll have a play with those now. Do I need to switch to 1.7 to fulfil these requirements? Any suggestions or best-practices greatfully received. Cheers, Will

CentOs 4.X and APF firewall issues
by Steph 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, We have 7 Dell 2850 servers with dual xeon 3 gig processors running the APF firewall version 0.9.6 http://rfxnetworks.com/apf.php They run fine for a day or two, then suddenly lock out all incoming connections, other than the backend IP, sometimes restarting the firewall resolves this, but occasionally we may have to leave it 10 mins or so before restarting where it will actually allow connections again. Has anyone had this issue themselves, or does anyone successfully running Cent0s 4.X with the 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp kernel have a sample /etc/apf/config.apf I could take a look at? Thanks in advance Stephanie Royle.

Pix Firewall Monitoring Software on Linux
by ankush grover 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

hey friends, I am looking for a free open source software (web based or application) through which I can monitor the Pix Firewall. What it should show Interface status or traffic , VPN Connectivity status, CPU Status, Memory Status etc. I am also running DHCP server on Pix Firewall (due to some reasons) If it can monitor that also means showing how many IPAddresses has been assigned, to whom, what is the lease time etc. then it will be very good. I know about cacti but for VPN Connectivity status one has to use telnet which I don't want to use and I don't know about monitoring DHCP server through it. Is there any other tool through which I can monitor Pix Firewaall ? I am using Centos4.0 Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs: OK with CentOS ?
by Rob 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, >From a friend I got a Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs. Also he gave me the CentOS-Alpha installation CDs. The CDs are probably recent, but I'm not sure; they have following kernels in the RPMS directory: kernel-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80.alpha.rpm (Is this then an up-to-date installation CD set?). My main question is: can I install CentOS on this system with these CDs, and will it install "out-of-the-box"? Main concern is the 4 CPUs in this system. Will the kernel-smp RPM automagically activate and use all 4 CPUs? This is the first time for me to install on an Alpha system. Any help on this respect is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Slightly OT: Cron for Logrotate and Squid
by karl＠klxsystems.net 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Howdy list, Hey does anyone know what the best cron job is to call logrotate to run the squid logrotations? -Or the subscribe address for a squid or logrotate mailing list (can't seem to find anything other than the usual MARC archives). I have this in /etc/logrotate.conf # rotate log files daily, they get too big otherwise, another story. daily # keep 8 weeks worth of backlogs e.g. 60 days rotate 8 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # No way, don't compress on a busy cache box, too much load. #compress # Rotate logs for specific daemons here: include /etc/logrotate.d ############################################## I have this in /etc/logrotate.d/squid /var/log/squid/access.log { daily rotate 60 copytruncate #compress notifempty missingok # same for the other two squid logs # This script asks squid to rotate its logs on its own. # Restarting squid is a long process and it is not worth # doing it just to rotate logs postrotate /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate endscript } ################################################ and it's been suggested to do this in Cron, but it *does not* look right and is the part i'm most concerned about, I drew it slightly out of context from here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/faq.html It's the rm -f statement I worry about. #SQUID - logrotate 01 4 * * * root /opt/squid/bin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.0 #################################################################### Basically don't want to restart the squid daemon on my cache servers because it's just too too nasty of a proposition. Any suggestions for the proper way to call logrotate from Cron with regard to squid in particular? -karl

Epiphany?

Is there an official epiphany rpm for RHEL4/Centos4? I know that in the release announcements for RHEL4 beta2 epiphany 1.4 was specifically mentioned as included. But epiphany seems not to be in any of the standard repos or in dag. Thanks, Steve

Todd, From my experience I can bet that there is only one or two packages which are source of all problems. a) Try to upgrade yum first. b) try to remove and install again php (copy config files if you have edit them) You can also force upgrade, but that's not recommended (perhaps there is major reason why you have that problems) >> And how do you think it got so out of date?

the upgrade itself is fine...no problems but I am confused about 1 thing. In order for yum to it's thing w/out updating the kernal, I put this: "exclude=kernel". I put this line in every division of /etc/yum.repos.d. i.e. Base, Updates, Addons, etc. my question is: I don't really know the proper way to exclude. thx John Rose

If the CD is designed for doing diagnostics, it seems odd to me that there are two Seagate utilities included, but neither of them is capable of doing diagnostics or testing.

Crontab not working....
by Ian mu 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Hiya all, just found an odd one on one of our boxes, cron isnt working (for a user anyway, but can't seem to get it running properly at all), i.e if I do a crontab -e as a user (who is in /var/spool/cron) and add 19 10 * * * /bin/touch /home/logadmin/testfile (has permission) its never created. Also I get no mails from cron to /var/spool/mail/root so guessing maybe cron not working at all, can't find any errors in logfiles relating to it either. ps -ef shows crond running however, have tried restarting it via service crond restart which shows fine in logs as started Not sure what else to check? Any ideas much appreciated, Ian

I made these tweaks 2 days ago (Sun). Monitoring it yesterday I never seen the time off more than 1 minute. but I didn't do any thing on that box yesterday. This morning I just changed the user back to rado and testing the key repeat issue right now. thx Les and Aleksandar for y'alls suggestions. John Rose

2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp
by Steph 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, I currently have a few CentOs 4.X servers running the latest stock 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp kernel. I notice kernel.org are now up to version 2.6.18 and many people are using the 2.6.17.11 Does anyone have any opinions with regards to the 17.11 and .18 kernels? I'm led to believe the latest centos stock kernels are the same anyway as are the backported Redhat ones. I'd be interested to read other peoples take on this, I note CentOs do not advocate anything other than the yum release and I was advised in the CentOs IRC channel to use the recommended version. I also do not want to end up constantly updating insecure kernels, although unfortunately there are always going to be vulnerabilities posted I'd like to minimize maintenance. Thanks Stephanie

Problem installing Centos on laptop
by Mace Eliason 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, I have been trying to install Centos 4.4 on my laptop with no success. I have just purchased a new Acer 5100 laptop with AMD Turion 64x2 1Gig ram 120Gig HD. I have tried the 64bit and the 32 bit versions but have the same problem with both of them. I can do the complete install but when the computer reboot it will hang on the hardware detection on the network right after where it says Centos 4.4 final. I have let it sit for about 20min and it won't pass that point. I have also tried Fedora code 5 with the same results. Ubuntu 6.06.1 64 bit installs and works fine but will lock up randomly and requires a hard reboot. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks Scandog

Hi all, I'm running a script in my crontab like this: */50 * * * * /root/scripts/keepjobrun 2>&1 > /dev/null However, crontab always sends a message to root (me) about the above script.

CentOS4 u4 - Dell PE 1950 - SAN/NAS High Load
by Tom Brown 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi I have a pair of 1950's running as a failover pair of front ends for a Fibre array and a SCSI array. i am currently just running on the SCSI array and the fibre is not in production yet. I am seeing load on the active node sit at around 8 and throughput to the SCSI array is around 25MB/s - I would imagine i should see better figures that this and less machine load. Can anyone give any pointers as to where to start looking to pinpoint this issue? A vmstat gives me..

RE: [CentOS] Problem installing Centos on laptop

Hello, Try to install centos with minimum of everything (text mode no hardware detection), if it doesn't help trace logs. Last entry in logs before will hangup is most important.

Bullet proof cron job???
by Ted Miller 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

I have a cron job that runs once a day. There are times when it runs that it disrupts other things on the computer, so I want to kill it. Under Mandriva I had no problems killing the process, and that was the end of that. Under Centos I cannot kill it with a sig 15 or a sig 9. Tonight the process would have trashed hours of work, so after spending two minutes as root trying to kill the process, I ended up killing the entire tree, including crond. Linux is supposed to allow CONTROL of things like this without rebooting, etc, so why can't I kill the process without killing crond? Ted Miller

Need advice please
by Phil Savoie 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

Hi All, I have a system running (home based) Centos latest fully patched, etc that is acting as quasi mail server dhcp and name server. My question deals with mail. This is how it is currently set up. Because I travel for work weeks on end, I have fetchmail on my mail server, set up to poll my isp and download all my mail from work and personal isp. In this way my mail queues at work and personal isp are not piling up. I then use (at home and away) my own email client (kmail) to pop my home server for mail through an ssh tunnel. Does anyone know of a way that I can somehow combine some kind of spam filtering in conjunction with fetchmail on my home mail server so that when I pop it only the spam free email returns to my client? I know that kmail also filters out spam but I would also like a crack at getting some of the spam cleaned out at my mail server end as well. Thanks for your help with this, Phil

eAccelerator RPM for php5
by John Thomas 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Does anybody know where I can find an RPM of eAccelerator for the php 5.0.4-5 in CentOS Plus REPO? RPMFORGE has an eAccelerator rpm, but for php4. If not, is there an easy/better way to provide php speed up with php5.0.4-5? If not, would it be possible for a rookie, like me, to build an RPM from source? I might take a run at that as a last resort? Any simple howto links would be appreciated (I found and am exploring the ones at wiki.centos.org) Thanks to the CENTOS developers and affiliates for the great software. JT

postfix problem since update: mail loops back to myself
by thorsten 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Hello I already asked in the IRC, but apart from recommendations reading the mailing lists, nobody could help me. I read all postfix-update related articles but non of them seemed to match or resolve my problem: Everything works fine, apart from one host, which we are doing MX backups for (backupdomain.com) Sep 22 12:18:58 homer postfix/smtp[18784]: 6BD7B1189E4: to=<user(a)backupdomain.com>, relay=none, delay=53, status=bounced (mail for backupdomain.com loops back to myself) Sep 22 12:18:58 homer postfix/cleanup[18791]: B3DD6118A13: message-id=<20060922111858.B3DD6118A13(a)mail.mydomain.com> Sep 22 12:18:58 homer postfix/qmgr[18776]: B3DD6118A13: from=<>, size=2758, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 22 12:18:58 homer postfix/qmgr[18776]: 6BD7B1189E4: removed The backup MX in our domain record for the backupdomain has priority 20, we 10. dig MX mydomain.com mydomain.com. 86400 IN MX 20 mail.backupdomain.com. mydomain.com. 86400 IN MX 10 mail.mydomain.com. postfix's transport_map is configured to use mysql. a postmap -q backupdomain.com mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/transport returns: smtp:mail.backupdomain.com so it was forwarding a message to that domain. That worked fine. After the postfix upgrade, this stopped working. The target the error, I removed the smtp:mail.backupdomain.com entry from the mysql table and also removed the MX entry for the backupdomain, which I was told, could cause problems as well. It still says: mail for backupdomain.com loops back to myself. So, I am wondering, where postfix gets this information from? Can you give me some further advise? thx, thorsten.

I was actually referring to the SATA cables. I guess my reply got a bit garbled there. One topic at a time... :) I take your point regarding the power supply cables. I'll put the drives on separate legs and see what happens. -- Bowie

I'll give it a try. I tried smartctl and it ran fine, but found no errors (on the short test). FYI - I had to specify the ata device type to make it work. smartctl -d ata -t short /dev/sda I was also able to get the smartd service running by adding '-d ata' to both lines in the /etc/smartd.conf file. Everything seems to be running normally now. Smartd is configured to send me email on problems now, so I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. -- Bowie

Firewire question (Centos 4.4)
by Akemi Yagi 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Johnny Hughes wrote: > > Firewire is not turned on in the standard RHEL kernel. It is on in the > CentOSPlus kernel. Since firewire is a must have for the system I am setting up, I recompiled the kernel with the firewire support turned on and installed it. Then later, I decided to try the CentOSplus kernel. The system booted just fine but I noticed something odd. In /boot, System.map and vmlinuz are still pointing to the custom kernel, not the centosplus kernel. Should I manually correct the symlinks?

Is it possible that bind has also been updated at the same time. Where does your resolver on the mail server think the backup domain is? Also, did your /etc/hosts file change in the upgrade or subsequent to that? Just a guess, alex

Tyan K8HM and lm_sensors
by Bowie Bailey 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

I have a Tyan Thunder K8HM (S3892) motherboard and I am trying to get lm_sensors to work with it. The problem is that I am getting conflicting information. The source for lm_sensors says not to compile the modules for the 2.6 kernel. The information from Tyan says that I need to compile the modules if my kernel is less than 2.6.12. Has anyone here configured lm_sensors for this motherboard? Any suggestions on whether it is safe to install the lm_sensors i2c-piix4 module in the 2.6.9 kernel?

Problem deleting an active route
by Dale 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Hi all, Some how I have an extra active route setup in my CentOS 4.4 system (that unfortunately at a data center a ways away from me). I have tried using /sbin/route del -net xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx but get an error. I also have Webmin installed and I can delete the route from there, but on applying the network config, the route comes back. I have no idea where it is coming from. It is preventing me from getting out of the box to any other services. Any suggestions greatfully accepted! Thanks Dale
