haldaemon crashes system?
by Josh Kelley 19 May '06

19 May '06

I'm in the process of setting up CentOS 4.3 on an old 400MHz K6 and found that the system hangs within several seconds of starting haldaemon. With haldaemon disabled, everything seems to work. >From what I've read, disabling haldaemon isn't a problem, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has seen similar problems or if anyone had any troubleshooting tips. I found a similar issue at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178236, although it doesn't sound quite the same. Should I log a bug at Red Hat's Bugzilla? Or at CentOS's bug site? Or is it even worth trying to track down a bug on hardware this old? Josh Kelley

yum grouplist error
by Alfred von Campe 19 May '06

19 May '06

I keep a local copy of the yum repository using rsync every night. Commands like "yum update" still work, but lately I've been getting the following error: # yum grouplist Setting up Group Process Setting up repositories Error: Caching enabled and local cache: //var/cache/yum/base/ yumgroups.xml does not match checksum My nightly rsync cron job doesn't update this file -- should it? How does one rebuild it? To set up my local repository, I edited the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and changed all baseurl entries to use file:///path/to/my/repo instead of http:// mirror.centos/org/... Do I have something misconfigured? Thanks, Alfred

Setting default paper size in OpenOffice
by Niki Kovacs 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hi, I'm using the default OpenOffice.org that ships with CentOS 4.3. In OO, I launch "Printer configuration" and set the default paper size from "US Letter" to "A4". OK, and then OK again. But the settings don't seem to be saved, they revert to US Letter every time, which is rather annoying, as I don't set this up for me (but for a bunch of Joe Users), and I can't expect them to manually configure the paper size everytime they want to print something. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs

rsync help
by Sam Drinkard 19 May '06

19 May '06

I'm attempting to do an rsync of a whole bunch of files from the machine here to the remote machine. Both user directories have identical file structure, except the remote machine is way behind on keeping up with the local machine. When I tried to run the rsync command from the current directory of "/home/rob/amet/versions/current/archinve/npa/R- save" Below is the command and output. Can somone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or perhaps the correct way to do this? There does not need to be a daemon running on the remote machine does there? # rsync -t R-save vortex:/home/rob/amet/versions/current/archive/npa/R- save rsync: link_stat "/home/rob/amet/versions/20051028/amet/archive/npa/R- save/R-save" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c (892) [sender=2.6.8] Thanks.....

Damaged tags in XMMS
by Niki Kovacs 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hi, I just copied 15 GB of Music from my Slackware install over to my laptop running CentOS. Everything's running fine, except a few minor quirks. About 10 to 15% of the 4.000 songs in my collection seem to have broken ID3 tags in XMMS. In the playlist window, there are only truncated fields of a few random letters appearing. But when I right-click on one of these songs, the ID3 info is displayed correctly... that is, in the ID 3 window. I can save as much as I can, the info in the ID3 window stays the same. Any suggestion for that? Niki

Set default MPlayer -vo?
by Niki Kovacs 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hi, I'm running CentOS 4.3 with the rpmforge and kbs repos enabled. I just installed MPlayer and tried it. It has a small problem. When I want to view myfile.wmv, Mplayer displays the following error message: "Error opening/initialising the selected video_out (-vo) device." So I opened a console, took a peek at the various options (mplayer -vo help), and then the movie worked just fine with mplayer -vo x11. Q: how do I make this option my default, so that when I double-click on a .wmv or .avi in Nautilus, it gets opened with the -vo x11 option? I thought about creating an alias, but there must be some more orthodox way to do that. Cheers, Niki Kovacs

What sound cards are recognized by Centros? I have installed it on an old 400MHz IBM Aptiva that has Crystal Audio built-in. However it does not seem to recognize that, nor a Sound Blaster, nor a Sound Blaster 16 that I have tried. Any cheapo cards that it would recognize? Mike

Buy CentOS CDs/DVDs in France?
by Niki Kovacs 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi, I'd like to buy a set of CentOS CDs: 4CDs + 1 DVD. I'm on dialup, so this is the best solution for me. Plus, usually CDs from the store are better quality and tend to last longer in my humble experience. Normally I buy my CDs at ikarios.fr, but strangely, they only sell Centos 3.7 CDs. I mailed them about 2 weeks ago, but got no answer. Anyone knows where's the best place to get these when I'm in France? Cheers, Niki Kovacs

K3b, cdrdao and chmod +s
by Niki Kovacs 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi, I just managed to get a fairly coherent configuration for our public "salle multimedia" with CentOS 4.3. I used the rpmforge and the KBS repos for additional software. There's only one soft that I had to rebuild: K3B. The included version's translation is just one big mess. I remember from my Slack days not so long ago that K3B is rather easy to build, so I downloaded the source from the K3B site, built and compiled with checkinstall, and everything went smooth. K3B's vanilla version requires cdrdao to be installed. I found a RHEL4 RPM on rpm.pbone.net and installed it. On startup, K3B performs various checks about the system configuration, and as it was to be expected, it suggested to run cdrdao with root rights. I knew this from Slack, so I just did a chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrdao. Now I'm puzzled about something. In the Gnome Terminal, /usr/bin/cdrdao with the new rights (-rwsr-sr-x) appears as a red block, reminding the entrance of the "Nuclear weapons" block in an old James Bond movie. Was that chmod +s a no-no? Will it eat my three cats? Niki Kovacs

Not looking for the sendmail version, but a way to determine what IMAP standard it is using. Andrew

I installed plesk(first mistake at least here..<G>) and it got in my way in some area more than it helped. The first thing it did was deny root access to mysqld and i could not find the username and password for adding another database. I removed plesk and mysql. when i used yum to reinstall mysql i was then told root @ localhost was denied. I removed mysql again and nuked all of the mysql files i could find that were left behind. Now when i reinstall it won't even start.

17 May '06

Hi all, this is my first post... Here the situation, I've installed php 4 with yum, using the default CentOS repositories, but now I realize that I need the Informix extensions and others like unixodbc, gd etc. This last two packages where in the repository so I search with yum and I found them, and install them, but not the Informix one. So here my question, when I install a RPM package, then, how I change or add extensions?? the same with Apache and ssl support . Any help would be apreciated Regards. Claudio

problems with kickstart %post and python/snack gui
by Brian Gehrich 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate from Fedora Core 4 to a more stable linux deployment of Centos 4.3. I'm using kickstart to do an automated installation of minimal packages and then doing configuration in the %post section. I do this by calling serveral custom system-config-local-* scripts that I have written along with system-config-network-tui (aka netconfig). The problem that I am having is that these scripts display properly, but do not accept input from the console. When anything is typed, it goes directly to the screen (including escape characters for arrows, escape, etc...). I've tried both a minimal installation and a "everything" installation and the results are the same. If I run the same command chrooted to /mnt/sysimage from the tty1 shell it works properly. Here are the relevant sections of my kickstart config... %post set -x ## post install script ## ## setup the environment ## export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=C export TERM=linux ## switch to tty3 ## /usr/bin/chvt 3 exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3 ## configure network on eth0 ## /usr/sbin/netconfig ## switch back to tty1 ## /usr/bin/chvt 1 ## end post install script ## Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. FYI, this works fine on Fedora Core 4... Thanks, Brian

Configuring a Kodak EZ200 Webcam in CentOS 4.3
by José Alburquerque 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi. I hate to ask because I'm not sure if this is one of those questions that don't "deserve an answer" but here goes: My friend gave me a Kodak EZ-200 Webcam (USB) recently and I'm trying to configure it for use under CentOS 4.3. I did a little research on the web and found that the Kodak EZ200 is supported using gphoto2 (http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html - search "EZ200" to see that it is in the list of supported cameras). My system has gphoto2-2.1.4-7 installed (I think this a system package), but when I look for EZ200 support (using 'gphoto2 --list-cameras'), the EZ200 is not listed. I also did an 'rpm -ql gphoto2' and noticed that there is no "shared object file" (libgphoto2_kodak_*.so) for the EZ200. Is it that the EZ200 is only supported in a "newer" version of gphoto2? Is it alright for me to install a newer version? I noticed that the gphoto2 website (http://www.gphoto.org/) has a tarball (version 2.1.99) that includes a spec file which I can certainly use to build an rpm. (Mind you, I just don't want to "break" my system or anything like that, although I would really like to get some use out of this webcam). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

vsftpd: users can delete files they don't possess
by Kai Schaetzl 17 May '06

FTP users can delete files in their home directory they don't possess (including files belonging to root:root!) with vsftpd. I have reproduced that with vsftpd 1.1 on Suse and 2.0 on CentOS. I don't think this should happen at all. I can't see that the documentation at http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html mentions this problem at all. How can I stop this? Kai

OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 vs. 2.0.2
by Niki Kovacs 16 May '06

16 May '06

Hi, I recently migrated from Slackware 10.2 to CentOS 4.3, upon advice of fellow Slacker and CentOS user Daniel de Kok. Been working very intensively for the last three weeks with it, and I must say: I really like it. This is the Real Work(tm) Distro I was always looking for! There's a practical reason for this: beginning on June 1st I will be chief sysadmin of our village's town hall. Don't be too impressed... besides the mayor and his dog, we're 900 people living here, mostly farmers... But the village got a nice budget to build an even nicer public "salle multimedia", the house is ready (with a nice view over the South French hills), and here's the scenario. About ten PC's will be acquired new, so they will be equipped with a shiny CentOS 4.3. The remaining PC's in the town hall will either get some light Linux distro (Slack with XFCE or something like this)... but some people here desperately cling to their Windows 98 or Windows XP and don't want this Linux thing. At least two Windows machines here are equipped with the latest OpenOffice.org. Now there's a slight compatibility issue. OO 2.0.x defaults to the .odt file format, which OO 1.2.2 can't read. I know that stock rpm's from openoffice.org *can* be installed, but I think it would be a pity to ruin the otherwise great artwork consistency (I have to seduce the new Linux users, remember). The latest Fedora 5 came out, and I see that there's a source rpm available at rpm.pbone.net. Unfortunately, I'm on dialup here, and there's no chance I can get this until next week. Plus, I'm only a beginner with source RPM's, and OO is somewhat of a bear to compile. Now what if one of the gurus here gave it a shot? Got some bandwidth and some CPU to spare? Or maybe evaluate my chances as to the outcome? Or is it better to tell the Windows people to default to .sxw and stick with the present version (which, I must say, looks quite bug-free)?

NFS and firewall issues
by Niki Kovacs 16 May '06

16 May '06

Hi, I have a small home LAN, where one machine (192.168.1.1) connects to the internet via dialup (no DSL here) and shares the connection with IP masquerading. To achieve this, I tried out various recipes found on the internet, and finally put this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local: --8<------ rc.local ------------ #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local # Setup IP Masquerading iptables -F; iptables -t nat -F; iptables -t mangle -F iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE # Secure it iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i ! ppp0 -j ACCEPT iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o ppp0 -j REJECT --8<--------------------------- I don't understand much about iptables. Documentation about it is on my TODO list (I'll keep it for after my death:oD). Now I have a problem. I fiddled a bit with NFS, and I had a firewall-related problem with it. In short, when iptables (the firewall) runs, I can't do an NFS mount. But as soon as I stop it (service iptables stop), NFS mounts are possible. Now what can I do to 1) go on sharing my ppp connection 2) be able to do NFS mounts while 3) still having a reasonable secure system? Cheers, Niki Kovacs

Loading GNOME with GDM
by Hairul Ikmal Mohamad Fuzi 16 May '06

16 May '06

Hi, We have a few PC with CentOS 4 installed. By default, it runs to runlevel 5, which displays the GDM. I'm just wondering, how do I actually make the GDM to start GNOME automatically (after a successful login) for all normal user account without having to add 'exec gnome-session' in every user's ~/.xinitrc? The current scenario is, only successful 'root' logins starts the GNOME, while other normal user successful login is presented with the minimalist window manager (which is equivalent to 'Default System Session' from the GDM menu). I'd appreciate if anyone could help me to figure this one out. Thanks! -Ikmal

PHP5 questions
by Kai Schaetzl 15 May '06

15 May '06

If I install PHP5 from centosplus it will replace PHP4, is this correct? Or is there a way to have it installed in parallel? I know I can't run both modules at the same time, but I'd prefer having them installed in parallel, so I can switch back/between easier. When I try updating I get a dependency warning from php-eaccelerator (from dag repo) - can I ignore that? Searching thru my list archive I find it mentioned several times that eaccelerator works with PHP5, but it's not clear if and what package. Thanks. Kai

Requirements for building source RPM's?
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi, I have CentOS 4.3. On install, I chose the 'Personal Desktop' option without bothering about customizing. I'm on dialup, so I try to choose a mixture of rpm and yum, e. g. I do 'yum install something', take a peek at what is needed, and then install as much as I can from the CD's using rpm -ivh. I want to build an app (cdlabelgen and its frontend gtkcdlabel) from a source RPM, since the binary has a few encoding weirdnesses. I've never built a source RPM (using Slack before), now I wonder: what tools (packages) do I need for this, besides rpm-build, gcc, autoconf etc.? Niki Kovacs

Basic SAMBA setup
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi, I want to setup a simple SAMBA file server, in its most simple configuration first, and then fine-tune that gradually. I've never worked with SAMBA before, so I based myself on Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook", chapter XX: SAMBA. Here's what I did, following the step-by-step instructions and reading the explanations as to what-does-what: # mkdir -m 777 /shares Rename /etc/samba/smb.conf to something else (old.sambaconfig) and then edit a new smb.conf from scratch, which looks like this: --8<-------------------- [global] workgroup = workgroup netbios name = windbag server string = Anonymous local file server security = share browseable = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1. [share1] path = /shares comment = Test files read only = No guest ok = Yes --8<--------------------- I tested this configuration with testparm, and it looked OK. Next I restarted SAMBA (service smb restart) and checked the status (service smb status). After this I tried (on the same machine) to connect to my file server: $ smbclient -L windbag But there I got a "Failed to connect". Now what? Niki Kovacs

pop3d and iptables lockup
by Bowie Bailey 15 May '06

15 May '06

I am having a problem implementing iptables with Courier's pop3 daemon. If I disable iptables, everything works fine. As soon as I enable it, pop3 will stop working for messages over 32K. Small messages will go through with no problems, but large ones will time out. I get this message from OE: "Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds." And an option to stop or continue waiting. I can wait as long as I want, but it will not download the message. This problem only exists with connections coming from outside our network. Connections from within the network can download large messages with no problems. Has anyone seen this before? I would like to implement iptables for more security, but I can't do it if this problem persists. My server is: P4 2.8, 1GB RAM CentOS 4.3 (fully patched) Courier 0.53.1 My iptables rules were initially created with system-config-securitylevel and then modified from there. The current rules are: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt in out source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt in out source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt in out source destination Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references) target prot opt in out source destination ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT icmp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 icmp type 255 ACCEPT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:25 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:110 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:53 ACCEPT udp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW udp dpt:53 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:587 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:80 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 172.16.0.0/16 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:22 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:443 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:995 REJECT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-prohibited I have found information on Google indicating that this might be a problem with the MTU or MSS setting, but the solutions given seemed to be aimed at the end user rather than the server. I tried them anyway, but they didn't seem to help. This is what was generally suggested: iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu It didn't get any hits on the FORWARD chain. I put it on the OUTPUT chain and it got some hits there, but didn't have any effect on the problem. I also tried the --set-mss option with the same lack of results. I appreciate any suggestions. -- Bowie

Setting a different LANG variable for a single GTK application?
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi, I just installed GtkCDLabel, a nifty little app to create CD covers in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, and which I've been using on a daily basis on Slackware (previous system). I've encountered some encoding issues. Whenever my CD text contains french special characters like é, è, à and ç, the resulting .ps file displays martian characters instead. 'printenv' shows me that the default LANG variable on my system is fr_FR.UTF-8. So I tried to start the app from the terminal with: $ LANG=fr_FR && gtkcdlabel ... and everything worked fine. The problem is now including this workaround in the corresponding .desktop menu entry in /usr/share/applications. When I try to replace Exec=gtkcdlabel by Exec='LANG=fr_FR && gtkcdlabel' ... GNOME complains about an error. My second attempt included an alias in /etc/bashrc, which resulted in a partial success. Typing 'gtkcdlabel' in gnome-terminal, I get the correct result. But when the app is launched from the desktop menu, it is unimpressed by the alias. Which leaves me clueless. Is there any other place where I could define a more global alias? Niki Kovacs

CentOS4 and SiS190 LAN chipset
by Nigel Kendrick 15 May '06

15 May '06

I have an Asus Pundit AE3 setup as an Asterisk server (Asterisk at Home) and the only quirk so far is that the onboard SiS190 LAN chipset is not detected and so I have fitted a full height card for now, but as it's a small barebones design this means I cannot fit the case cover. I have the option of throwing in a low-profile LAN card or compiling the OS/drivers - I have looked into this but it means downloading the SRPMs and (for me) working in unfamiliar territory. Is there a simpler way with a pre-compiled driver that I can load as a module? Thanks Nigel Kendrick

All, Over the weekend I purchased a linksys wireless-g PCI card for use in my amd64 box. I downloaded ndiswrapper, compiled, installed, tried to load the driver off the CDROM and it was a no-go. I have do this on another box with an amd sempron. Difference being 32 bit versus 64 bit... Seems there are no 64 bit drivers for the wireless card. Anyone have a wireless card working on a 64 bit machine? What was the card and driver? Thanks, Jerry

PDF viewer?
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi, I'm looking for a usable PDF viewer with CentOS 4.3. On my previous install (Slack running XFCE with a handful of GNOME libs), I used Evince, which is just great. Looks like this is an Achilles' heel in CentOS, as I tested three available PDF viewers (ggv, gsview, acroread) with various PDF documents downloaded from the internet (which all display perfectly with Evince): either the result is just ugly, like Lego for the very young. Or the document can't be opened at all and produces an error. Which is annoying, as I have to install this in a production environment in about two weeks. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs

NFS versus ISCSI
by Bruno Sousa 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hello ! I was wondering if anyone has done any kind of benchmarks regarding having a NFS export or using ISCSI. If not, is there any idea in how to do those benchmarks. In my case I will us NFS or ISCSI to export some space to run a mysql server, oracle 10g and ordinary file share. At this point I have 3 iscsi "servers" and 3 isci clients, each one running one service. All the servers are connect at 1Gbps. Best regards, Bruno Sousa

Firefox 1.5.0.3 in CentOSPlus?
by Mike Stankovic 14 May '06

14 May '06

Seeing Fedora have released 1.5.0.3 for fc5 isn't it time for CentOS to rebuild 1.5.0.3 for CentOSPlus or does the current rpm have the patches? I recall last times goof in FC5 firefox appearing in the CentOS one so I assume that CentOSPlus needs to rebuild the FC5 one again. __________________________________________________ Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the FAQ/etiquette.

Thin client server setup
by Mace Eliason 14 May '06

14 May '06

Hi, I am thinking of settting up a thin client server setup. I would like to set it up to work with linux and windows. I was going to use Symbiont but it says it needs a different version of linux to install. Has anyone used it with Centos before? Would it be easier to just install LTSP and set it up. I would like to b have a small box that does the dhcp and then allows users to logon to windows or linux terminal servers. Thanks for any suggestions. Mace

Serverworks HT1000 chipset drivers (Supermicro H8SSL motherboard)
by Chris Mauritz 14 May '06

14 May '06

Anyone using boards with this chipset? I've gotten some dual core single cpu boxes along with the physical dual cpu boxes I just received and they're using the Serverworks HT1000 (Broadcom 5785) chipset. My CentOS 4.2 DVD doesn't want to recognize the chipset so I can't see any of the SATA drives in the integrated SATA ports. Drives on 3Ware cards work as expected, but I was hoping to also make use of the integrated SATA ports. I'm downloading 4.3 via bitorrent now, but I suspect that isn't going to solve the problem without some command line magic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

Changing Console Display Settings
by John Hinton 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hmm.. after all these years I actually have a monitor on my desk beside me going through a couple of KVMs to our racks. So, I hope to make more use of direct console connections instead of shelling in. But, now.... the text has always been huge and the interface clunky. And after a bit of googling around, and file searching on the system, I can't seem to find where or if there is a way to change the default console display settings. I sure would be nice to go to a higher resolution so to speak. Can anybody point me in the right direction on where to look? Note, these systems are all server installs.. no stinkin' GUIs. ;) Thanks, John Hinton

how to swap CTRL and Caps Lock in console mode
by Primorec 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hi ALL, I am not able to find the file which controls the keyboard mapping. I would like to swap CTRL and Caps Lock keys. NO, thhere is no problem with X11. That part was easy to fix. I've commented out one line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I would like to swap the keys in __console__ mode YES, I've modified the file /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz It did not make any difference. Keys CTRL and Caps Lock are not swapped. Any hint/advice/RTFM_pointer is more than welcome Igor -- I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

Keyboard layout switching bug: workaround?
by Niki Kovacs 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hi, I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France). I've been 100% GNU/Linux for the past five years, and I recently switched from Slackware to CentOS, for the sake of comfort. Overall impression: I like it! I have a few problems to solve yet in my migration effort, mostly minor annoyances. First things first. I need three different keyboard layouts: de, fr_CH and fr. I'm used to toggle between these. Now this doesn't seem to work with CentOS 4.3. (My system is in french, so I have to translate Menu entries back to english, I don't know if they will be accurate...). Anyway. Applications -> Preferences -> Keyboard opens the keyboard configuration window. There's a section called "Agencement" in french, guess this will be "layout". When I try to add a layout, I get the following error message: (again, translating back from french) --- XKB configuration error during activation. Probably an internal X server error. ... --- I close the error message window. The new layout seems to be added. But when I try to toggle keyboard layouts (default: pressing [Alt] + [AltGr]), I get something that could be best described as a martian layout. Lots of nonsense. Now how could I fix this? When using XFCE with Slack, before the days of a keyboard switching plugin, I just manually defined some commands like 'setxkbmap [some options] -layout fr_CH', and then assigned these to some keyboard shortcuts. Is this a viable solution here? Or what would you recommend? This is rather annoying, since I type text in three languages (I also work as a translator), and I'm a bit stuck here. Any suggestions?

RHEL havoc tool
by Dag Wieers 12 May '06

12 May '06

Hi, I'm looking for a tool that breaks a working system (in one or more ways) with the sole purpose to fix it again. The aim would be to use this tool for several debugging techniques sessions in our local LUG. When I was invited to speak at a local LUG I was wondering what was the best way to demonstrate some of the tools (and more importantly) the way to tackle a problem. And nothing would be better than not knowing what is wrong so attendants can follow my reasoning in trying to fix a problem. I heard from someone who followed the RHCE exams, that they use such a tool to test the knowledge and it would be nice to have something like that in Open Source, if it does not already exist.

Hi All, I have put the priorities plugin online at: http://danieldk.org/code/yum/ This plugin allows you to associate priorities to repositories. Packages from high-priority repositories are protected from being upgraded with packages from low-priority repositories. Instructions can be found in the README file, read the part about "check_obsoletes" with care. Please keep in mind that this is mostly untested and thus beta code. Have fun! -- Daniel

nautilus ogg preview and sox mp3 support
by José Alburquerque 11 May '06

11 May '06

Would anyone out there be able to confirm (or deny) if ogg audio file previewing works properly in nautilus? I can preview wave (*.wav) files and mp3 (*.mp3) files (I had to recompile sox for this to work), but not ogg files. On another note, I take it that recompilation of the sox source rpm (with libmad-devel and lame-devel rpms installed) is the "right" way of making sox support mp3 format. Am I wrong? Thanks.

OT: MySQL Help
by Thomas E Dukes 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hello, I know this is off-topic for this list but I know someone here may be able to help me out of a jam. I ran the following against a table: ALTER TABLE `products` ADD INDEX `idx_products_model` ( `products_model` ); Some things now appear broken but don't know if this was the culprit or not. If I can revert it back it its original state I may be able to determine if it's the cause of some new problems. I did make a back up of the entire database before I made the change on 05-06-06 which I could restore but would lose all data from then til now. Can this index be removed? If so, how? TIA

yum, dag and xawtv
by Damian Sobieralski 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi, I'm a newbie with CentOS. Actually, with this generation Linux. I used it back in the middle 90's (Debian and Slackware) but migrated over to FreeBSD. I got tired of the dependency nightmares and wanted a system that "just worked". The FreeBSD ports system did just that for me. I HATE doing the rpm soup thing. RPM finders are nice but I'd rather just use something like the FreeBSD port system to handle all dependency issues for me. But I've slid back into Linux and found CentOS. Boy, have things changed a bit since I was last here :) I have to admit, yum gives me that functionality that I was very happy with FreeBSD - the ports system. It's not exactly the same but I LIKE yum a lot! I am noticing a couple of problems dealing with YUM that I hope you can help me with. I noticed that the default CentOS repositories that came on an install had a lot of the common packages but stuff like audacity and xawtv weren't there. But I figured that there was a repository that did have these. After some web searching, I found about the dag repository. I added the following into /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo as stated at http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php : [dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 Now when I do a "yum list" I can find lots of the apps that I am looking for. But when I try to install packages I get things like: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6 Public key for libquicktime-0.9.8-2.el4.rf.i586.rpm is not installed I can get installs to happen by changing the line in /etc/yum.respon.d/dag.repo from one to zero on the gpgcheck line. Questions: 1) Is dag a good repository to get me these apps that aren't part of the stock CentOS repository file? If not, which one should I use? I don't need bleeding edge (even two versions behind for an app would be fine). 2) What's up with the gpg failures? Should I be worried? 3) Finally, I'm trying to get xawtv to work. I ran "yum install xawtv" and all seemed to go fine. It found a bunch of dependencies and downloaded them from dag. Cool! But when I try to run xawtv I get: This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.9-34.EL) load_codec_info_from_plugin: dlopen failed for /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_ffmpeg.so: /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_ffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_init Searching for this error has been less than fruitful. I realize this message has several questions in it. If you have opinions on ANY of the questions please feel free to respond. Yum and CentOS have me wanting to go back to Linux. If I can be taught how to use yum to install things "correctly" I think I'll be very happy back here. :-) Thanks in advance. - Damian

Troubleshooting "too many open files'
by Michael Rock 09 May '06

09 May '06

ulimit -n was 1024, so I am assuming that is likely the problem. So if I understand your reply correctly, I can do a 'ulimit -n 8192' to increase the value, but that is only for the session? Since I have the program starting at bootup what you are saying is I need to edit these files and reboot, Then ulimit -n should show whatever I set it to below? FD_SETSIZE defined in: /usr/include/linux/posix_types.h /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h #define __FD_SETSIZE 8192 Do I have that right? thx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Battery applet missing Compaq R3000

Hello list, I recently loaded CentOS 4.2 x86_64 on a Compaq R3000 laptop and then fully updated to 4.3. The battery applet on other installs always just showed up and worked, not so here. It is not in the applet choices at all, it is available here on my desktop. I suspect it is something simple I'm missing but I need a point in the right direction. I did try: yum remove and yum install gnome-applets, no difference. any ideas much appreciated, Marvin -- P Marvin Eberly <eberlyml(a)wjtl.net>

Dear members, Recently I encountered a problem on accessing windows shared folder from CentOS 4.3. I'm quite wondering why I couldn't access since I already allow all or even switch off my windows firewall. What I did is I just type smb://my_windows_ip and the error message saying that "You do not have the permission necessary to view the contents of "windows Network: my_windows_ip". Did I miss anything when I try to access my windows shared folder? I would like to say sorry if this question had been asked previously..i had try to find the solution on the internet but I fail to find one.

Having had a working version of Acrobat Reader, I upgraded to 7.0.5 a couple of days ago (without backing up the previous install, of course). Unfortunately, the acroread command fails with: GTK+ UI Toolkit libraries, ver. 2.4 or greater were not found. The (CentOS 3) standard libraries for gtk+ etc. are installed. Anyone know what is the most recent compatible version of Acrobat Reader for CentOS 3, and where to get a copy?

CentOS-4.3 Kickstart 'Boot Failed'
by Rebecca Hepper 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hello, I'm trying to setup a CentOS-4.3 kickstart. When vmlinuz is loading, a message appears "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue." I am kickstarting via a USB flash drive. From the i386 ISO image #1, I am using vmlinuz from the isolinux directory. I have grabbed the vmlinuz file from a couple different mirrors just in case the one I had originally was corrupt. My CentOS-4.2 kickstart works without any issues and I modeled my 4.3 kickstart after 4.2. Any ideas on what could be causing the boot failed problem? Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

X86_64, Groupinstall KDE fails

I have an Athlon/64, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB IDE system and I'm intending to use it for combination workstation/Dev server duties. I've gotten a consistent failure when I try to groupinstall KDE.

(?!?) This is a clean, minimal install of CentOS 4.3/64, (installed with all optional packages unchecked, so only disk 1 was needed) I haven't even done a yum update, but that doesn't change anything when I try it. (I've now wiped it twice to try to figure out what I'm missing. Both packages are already installed, with the versions complained about... I've tried running rpm --rebuilddb, and yum clean all to no positive change. What's going on here?

Changing mount point - 4.3
by Tom Brown 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hi A box was installed with the majority of the free space in /home but i actually want this to be available to /opt. My fstab had /home looking like this LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 I umounted /home and changed the fstab to look like this /dev/sda5 /opt ext3 defaults 1 2 and then mounted /opt. All works fine. My question is, is this the 'correct' way to do something like this or should i stick to 'LABEL' ? I wonder as i'm not sure where the label tag gets set and when i see the box boot now it still references /home when in reality it is /opt on sda5. Is this a really bad thing to do? thanks

Protectbase Plugin not working?
by Camron W. Fox 07 May '06

07 May '06

Alle, I have installed and enabled (I think) the yum protectbase plugin: [cwfox@lurker ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i protectbase yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4 [cwfox@lurker ~]$ cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/protectbase.conf [main] enabled = 1 [cwfox@lurker ~]$ grep plugin /etc/yum.conf plugins=1 [cwfox@lurker ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo <SNIP> [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch… #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 protect=1 </SNIP> However, when I do yum check-update as in the following example, there are zero package exclusions and the Dag repo package for rsync (which is a CentOS base package, I believe) is listed: [cwfox@lurker ~]$ sudo yum check-update --enablerepo=dag rsync Loading "protectbase" plugin Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Setting up repositories Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository protections rsync.i386 2.6.8-1.el4.rf dag [cwfox@lurker ~]$ rpm -qi rsync Name : rsync Relocations: /usr Version : 2.6.3 Vendor: CentOS Release : 1 Build Date: Mon Feb 21 07:16:46 2005 Install Date: Wed Aug 10 14:28:27 2005 Build Host: guru.build.karan.org Group : Applications/Internet Source RPM: rsync-2.6.3-1.src.rpm Size : 262544 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Sat Feb 26 11:37:08 2005, Key ID a53d0bab443e1821 Packager : Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Summary : A program for synchronizing files over a network.

Not Responding To TCP Connections
by hkclark＠gmail.com 07 May '06

07 May '06

I have a CentOS 3 box that appears to be having problems where a TCP SYN comes into port 80 for an Apache Tomcat web application, but the rest of the TCP "3-way handshake" isn't happening. When the error occurs, I always see this pattern in tcpdump: * A TCP SYN comes in from the client * ~3.25 second later I get another TCP SYN from the client * ~6.5 seconds after that I get a third and final SYN before the client gives up * No TCP ACKs are returned to the client to continue the 3-way handshake The box is accepting lots of connections on lots of different ports and everything else seems to be working, but I'm occassionally getting these errors on port 80 for the last few weeks (the box has been up for a while). Has anyone else run into anything similar to this? Am I correct in saying that the Linux kernel, not java and/or Tomcat, handles the TCP stack, including the 3-way handshake? If so, getting past the 3-way handshake should have nothing to do with Java or Tomcat... IOW, this issue must have something to do with the OS, right? Suggestions welcome on this strange issue! Thanks!

THe odd thing is that deleting the zone file on the slave will initiate an AXFR. I can see the notifications are received in /var/log/messages, just nothing happens after that. Mike

Yum Update Question
by John Hinton 06 May '06

06 May '06

I have asked myself over the years... just what happens during the update process? For instance, the latest updates included updates to php. I'm wondering if apache is restarted or reloaded to read the new php updates? More broadly... if this is done, is it done pretty much for every interrelated update, I guess with the exception of kernel updates? Thanks for all the hard work. Best, John Hinton
