Centos 6.5 installer failure w/Adaptec 2400A RAID 10
by Ed Westphal 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

I have Centos 5.10 that I decided to upgrade to 6.5 via DVD iso. Installer worked fine - up to point where it was looking for disks to install the image on. Could not find a workaround to get it to install. Obviously, prior instances of Centos worked just fine in this regard. I then tried a DVD iso image of Linux Mint 17. Installed just fine w/LVM working flawlessly. Can anyone point me to any resources where I could find a workaround to this problem? I've looked without success. Thanks. ENW

Verbose readout
by Reynold 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hello, This is my first post to this mailing list. I have disks set up: disk 1: windows 8.1 pro (entire disk) disk 2: openSUSE 13.1 - 1 partition, storage on partition 2 disk 3: Fedora 20 - 1 partition, storage on partition 2 disk 4: CentOS 7 (entire disk) My grub2 screen is located on disk 2 and has openSUSE logo and screen. All operating systems start from this grub screen just fine. When I choose to start CentOS 7 from the grub screen I am sent to disk 4 with no problem and the operating system begins to load. When CentOS 7 begins to load it loads in verbose. I get a very detailed showing of everything that is happening while the system is loading (this is what I might call init 3). Then it brings me to the login screen with the user and password prompt (this is in what I might call init 5). I insert the user's password and I am brought to the desktop. There are no errors in loading the operating system. When each of the other systems are loaded there is always a system splash screen hiding the verbose readout until I arrive at the login screen. I want to know how I can bring back the splash screen on CentOS 7 to hide the verbose readout. I believe each operating system has a bootloader on their respective disks. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again, Reynold DeMarco Jr. reynoldlinux(a)gmail.com <mailto:reynoldlinux@gmail.com> 858-603-1725

(OT) Where can I find a PERC Simulator?
by Anthony K 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hello and apologies for being off-topic, but this is my last option! I've been looking for a PERC simulator to help with training, but for the life of me, I cannot find it anywhere on the internet! I even called Dell to see if they can offer me a download link to no avail. I know there is one somewhere as I've seen screenshots of it *[0]*! If anyone has it and is willing to help, please contact me off list! Cheers, ak. [0] - https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB73197&actp=LIST You can see that this is a simulator since the title of the main window has the following: C:\Program Files\McAfee\*PERC5 **sim*\CtrlHostWin.exe - emphasis on "*PERC5 sim*"

Hi Alexander, Thank for replying me! I tried follow your ideas. My if-down script was not working. However i find out this issue regrading xl2tpd. In/Makefile/ of xl2tpd source code v 1.3.6 : "/-DTRUST_PPPD_TO_DIE // // ...// // # The cost of not trusting pppd to die (and shoot it down hard), is that your// // # pppd's //*ip-down scripts*//will not have a chance to run/." So i just enable /-DTRUST_PPPD_TO_DIE /and rebuild xl2tpd. The problem solved. My if-down script 's working well now! Greetings ! Nam.

Runing multiple daemons with systemctl
by C. L. Martinez 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hi all, I am doing some tests with a CentOS7 vm image before to enter in our production environment. I need to migrate some sysvinit scripts to systemctl. In all of them I need to launch some daemons in the same init script. For example: a) start daemon1 b) if daemon1 returns no startup errors, launch daemon2 c) if daemon1 returns any startup error, doesn't start daemon2 and exit. Is it possible to do this with systemctl?? Thanks.

mairadb doesn't prompt for user/pass
by Tim Dunphy 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hello, I discovered today that CentOS 7 has replaced MySQL with MariaDB. Which is fine, it's seems really similar. And I was already aware that it was written by the original team that wrote mysql. It's cool that the mysql command still gets you in! This is the version I have: [root@web1:~] #mysql --version mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.37-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1 But for some reason all I have to do is type the word 'mysql' to get me into the database. That's ok for initial setup I guess. But once I was in a did away with all the accounts that either had blank set for the username, and updated all the accounts to use passwords. MariaDB [mysql]> select User,'@',Host,Password from user; +-------+---+-----------+-------------------------------------------+ | User | @ | Host | Password | +-------+---+-----------+-------------------------------------------+ | root | @ | localhost | *8328225AE4A663FAKEFAKEFAKEFAKEFAKE93D61 | | root | @ | web1 | *8328225AE4A663FAKEFAKEFAKEFAKEFAKE93D61 | | root | @ | 127.0.0.1 | *8328225AE4A663FAKEFAKEFAKEFAKEFAKE93D61 | | admin | @ | localhost | *8328225AE4A663FAKEFAKEFAKEFAKEFAKE93D61 | +-------+---+-----------+-------------------------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) I also did a search from root to find any my.cnf files and didn't find any that has user accounts in them. Also I find that for the root accounts I can't seem to login even if I set the password in the database without encryption and copy/paste the password into the prompt. However the non-root account (admin) does let you in with the password. So I'm wondering how to secure mariadb so that it doesnt' let you in without typing in a username and password and also why it doesn't let you log in as 'root'? Is the root account disallowed from logging in by default? Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

why does centos 7 want to install mariadb instead of mysql ?
by Tim Dunphy 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

Hey all, I just got around to trying out CentOS 7. And for some reason when I attempt to install mysql-server, instead I'm offered mariadb? I'm using epel and remi as my repos.

It's just that I haven't tried it yet, and don't have a real interest to. Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

I'm trying to install the build dependencies for an SRPM using yum-builddep, and it's telling me that it can't get the repo sqlite file for updates-source from vault. Any ideas?

Install Centos 6 x86_64 on Dell PowerEdge 2970 and a SSD (hardware probing issues)
by Jason Pyeron 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

I have a fleet of 2970s and we are upgrading the hardrives on the motherboard SATA ports (A/B not the PERC backplane) when a "detecting hardware" is performed the system crashes, reboots and gives an E1422 error code (useless video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhyMeUHJar4) We narrowed it down to a motherboard BIOS issue, if we remove the SSD or add noprobe to the kernel the installer does not crash. But when specifing "noprobe" it does not appear to have the loopback driver (and likely many more). ERROR: failed to mount loopback device /dev/loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /tmp/install.img: (null) INFO: mounting stage2 failed Next steps, I already lost my vacation to this, I hope to keep my sanity: Load drivers from kernel boot line? Blacklist drivers on the kernel boot line? Serial cable logging of boot?

I'm having some issues with Internet access from CentOS7 server which is installed in Vmware Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310 in Windows 7 x64.

CentOS7 Minimal installation on Vmware missing network interface
by reynierpm＠gmail.com 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

Hi there, I'm playing with CentOS 7 (don't know if it's recommended at all have this one as a development server as maybe is not stable enough yet) and I installed it on a Vmware VM with two network interfaces: one as a bridged connected directly to the physical network and replicating the network state and the second one as a host only interface (the one I use to manage the VM) so after I got the CentOS installed I can see the first interface but not the second one and I don't know how to enable it. If I run the command ifconfig -a this is what I see: eno16777728: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.112 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::250:56ff:fe2e:e245 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:50:56:2e:e2:45 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 126 bytes 17122 (16.7 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 83 bytes 12627 (12.3 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 0 (Local Loopback) RX packets 8 bytes 552 (552.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 8 bytes 552 (552.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 What I need to do in order to enable the other interface? Also how I change the name eno16777728 to eth0-internet without get down my server? Thanks in advace

bind zone files graphical management tool
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

On a server that does not have a gui, only command line. In the past I have used webmin, and was happy with it, but it is more than I really need. I COULD rsync the files to my notebook and maintain them there. Probably should just for backup! But is there anything else that is 'safe' to use. vi gets tiring after a while.

I've already found the ticket above before I've posted here. I tried to fix it with the change of /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-user-sessions.service or /usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service with dependencies to systemd-networkd.service and network.target but it changes nothing (obvious) in the behaviour.

Inconsistent printing on Centos 7
by Frank Cox 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

I have ongoing issues with my Xerox Phaser 2550 printer under Centos 7. It always worked without any issues on Centos 6 before I upgraded to Centos 7. The problem manifests itself by regularly (but not every time) printing page after page of garbage instead of the document that I wanted to print out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The same document might print fine now but then I get pages of garbage the next time I print. I have it set up as a shared printer on my network; the other computers on my network are all Centos 6. Printing from another computer on my network sometimes works but more often prints pages of garbage. When experimenting with this last night printing test pages from system-config-printer on a Centos 6 machine to the printer on this Centos 7 machine, I sometimes got a "Connecting to printer" message and then nothing printed until I restarted cups on the Centos 6 computer. This didn't happen every time; once again sometimes I got a test page printed, sometimes I got pages of garbage, sometimes I got the "connecting to printer" message and had to restart cups on the Centos 6 computer. Having become tired of this, I disconnected the printer from my Centos 7 machine and connected it to one of the Centos 6 machines and it worked without error when printing from that computer directly and when printing to it from another Centos 6 machine. The printer also showed up by magic as a discovered printer on the other Centos 6 machine, but didn't show up on the Centos 7 machine until I loaded system-config-printer on Centos 7, "new", and told it to search for network printers on the Centos 6 machine. Therefore, automatic printer discovery doesn't seem to work on this Centos 7 machine either. Now that the printer is connected to a Centos 6 machine again it appears to work fine when talking to other Centos 6 machines on the network and the printer is automatically discovered. After searching for the network printer from the Centos 7 machine and setting it up using the default (just hitting ok after it found the printer), my first attempt at printing a test page gave me a sheet that says this: #PDF-BANNER Template default-testpage.pdf Show printer-name printer-info printer-location printer-make-and-model printer-d river-name printer-driver-version paper-size imageable-area job-id options time- at-creation time-at-processing This obviously wasn't what I expected to see, so I ran system-config-printer on the Centos 7 machine again and changed the printer driver for that printer to Xerox Phaser 3150, the same as the setting on the Centos 6 machine that the printer is now connected to. Now the test page prints fine, but I get two sheets out of the printer every time I print the test page. The first one says "**** Warning: glyf overlaps cmap, truncating." Then the test page prints as expected. After printing the test page I get a printer error icon (printer with a red dot and white line on it) in the notification area on my panel. Clicking on that icon does nothing and hovering over it does nothing either but the only way it goes away is if I log out and log back in. In conclusion, the printing really doesn't work properly from this Centos 7 machine, regardless of whether the printer is directly connected or if I'm printing over the network. Direct connecting the printer causes it to print pages of garbage some of the time, automatic remote printer discovery doesn't work, and manually setting up up to print to the remote printer still generates an error of some kind but does appear to print. I can find nothing in /var/log/cups that tells me anything useful. /var/log/cups/error_log isn't updated when I print to the remote printer, even though the printer error icon shows up on my panel. page_log just tells me that it printed a page. All of this stuff works perfectly and automatically from Centos 6 (both printing to the local printer on a Centos 6 machine and printing over the network from a Centos 6 machine to another Centos 6 machine). -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

It has nothing to do with logrotate. I want virsh to tell logwatch what the status is of all virtual machines running on the host. Logwatch will then include that in its daily summary report.

C7: need authconfig against LDAP
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hi all, On a C6 box, when I want to enable LDAP authentication, I issue: # yum -y install nss-pam-ldapd pam_ldap nscd # authconfig --enableldap --enableldapauth --enablemkhomedir \ --ldapserver=ldap://ldap-blabla/ \ --ldapbasedn="blabla" \ --enablecache --disablefingerprint \ --kickstart --update All is working fine, the directory structure is fine and compliant. What about C7? As far as I read, - there is a switch to "sssd" - I found 1 link: http://www.certdepot.net/ldap-client-configuration-authconfig/ Is there something in particular I should pay attention for? Note that I have only GUI-less servers. Thank you.

Random Disk I/O Tests
by Matt 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

I have two openvz servers running Centos 6.x both with 32GB of RAM. One is an Intel Xeon E3-1230 quad core with two 4TB 7200 SATA drives in software RAID1. The other is an old HP DL380 dual quad core with 8 750GB 2.5" SATA drives in hardware RAID6. I want to figure out which one has better random I/O performance to host a busy container. The DL380 currently has one failed drive in the RAID6 array until I get down to replace it, will that degrade performance? Is there an easy way to test disk I/O? On a plain Gigabyte file copy the software RAID1 box seems to be twice as fast.

I tried different CentOS 5 xset settings, I tried an IBM Soft Touch and a Logitech keyboard using different cabeling. What might resolve this new one second delay for each CentOS 5 keyboard key? What might have caused it? ThanX

Dual boot with Windows 8.1, UEFI
by Andrew Daviel 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

(apologies for the length - there are questions at the end...) I've been running Linux for 20 years, and done a lot of dual-boots. I know that's old-school now, but I run Linux 95% of the time yet don't want to lose a Windows system I've paid for - but I've never tried removing it from a system and reinstalling the same licenced copy inside a virtual machine. I bought a new laptop back in April this year, after trying to check online for Linux certification to match what was in the local stores. There's so many models and variants that's almost impossible, but I found various "HP Pavilion 14" in www.ubuntu.com/certification and a couple of "HP EliteBook" in hardware.redhat.com/laptop. So I bought an "HP Pavilion 14-n228ca TouchSmart Notebook", which came with Windows 8.1 installed. So I start off doing what I've done on previous occasions - get into the BIOS, change the boot order, boot a CentOS 6 installation CD as used on my desktop, go into rescue mode and look at the partitions. Normally I'd use fdisk, but that says it doesn't understand GPT and I should use parted. There's 5 partitions, so I use resizefs to shrink the main NTFS data partition, then delete the partition and recreate it shorter at the same start location. Then reboot the CD into install mode, create a Linux partition in the free space, and install CentOS, which adds a choice of "Other" in grub.conf to boot Windows. Then I boot CentOS and finish the install - a couple of glitches; it needs a kernel parameter "iommu=soft" to get the USB mouse to work ("nommu_map_single overflow" messages), and it needs a firmware file rt3290.bin for the RT3290 WiFi chip to work (submitted bug 1133288). Then I try to boot into Windows. From GRUB, I get a screen "windows boot manager" with an error message "file \Boot\BCD - missing or contains errors". The boot sequence is a bit weird compared to what I'm used to - this is my first machine with UEFI. The BIOS has a UEFI boot order and a legacy boot order, which has to be enabled. UEFI takes precedence. With legacy enabled, F9 gives a boot menu with OS boot Manager Boot from EFI file Notebook hard drive Internal CD/DVD ROM Drive "Notebook hard drive" takes me to GRUB. "EFI file" takes me walkabout on a Windows file system with folders like "HP", "Boot", Windows" and what looks like hundreds of locale files - maybe I can boot in Turkish. "OS boot Manager" takes me to an HP/Windows system recovery screen with various options - continue, troubleshoot, turn off. "continue" goes to a splash screen like "attempting to repair" which fails. "troubleshoot" has a command prompt option. That's running Windows cmd.exe in one of the other partitions, mounted as X: In that, I find commands "chkdsk", "diskpart", "bootrec", "bcdedit" etc. To cut an even longer story short, I did something like: X:\ diskpart diskpart> select disk 0 diskpart> select partition 4 (the NTFS system one) diskpart> set id=ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7 X:\ bcdedit /set {default} device partition=C: X:\ bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=C: X:\ bootrec /rebuildbcd After doing that, the system partition appears as C:, passes chkdsk, and the system boots successfully into Windows. 3 questions: - what should I have done instead to create a dual-boot system on this hardware (the above is ridiculous and took hours of trials and research) - how can I make CentOS boot by default (since there is a valid EFI record for Windows 8, that seems to take preference unless I hit F9 at boot and manually select the disk) - is it possible to make CentOS boot via EFI rather than from the legacy partition boot record ? - how can I make Windows boot from GRUB ? (I tried "bcdedit /export C:\Boot\BCD", but that did not help - or I have the wrong file or syntax) Some documentation refers to a tool in Windows 8 called "EasyBCD", but I can't find it in my system. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 (Pacific Time)

Re: [CentOS] lvm module missing in initramfs

I need some help finding > out who's to blame: Update: I did some tests on a very similar Centos 7 server and could reproduce the problem with an older kernel. So kernel version doesn't matter. After swapoff -a the mkinitrd command produces an initamfs image WITHOUT the lvm. The system cannot boot with it. Then after swapon -a the mkinitrd creates an image WITH the lvm module. Any ideas why? Is it a bug? On the original system was the swap not disabled, but replaced with an encrypted swap (one added line in crypttab, one line changed in fstab). And when the next kernel update came, the server have become unusable as I described in my first post.

USB Boot
by Matt 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

I noticed that the Supermicro X9SCL has a USB type-a port right on the motherboard. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C202_C204/X9SCL.cfm Has anyone used a port like this to boot the core OS and used the physical drives for OpenVZ and KVM containers? I figure a 64GB thumb drive would work. Anyone done this or will a USB thumb drive not stand up too the load? Seems much easier then using a SATA SSD drive but I imagine you still have to find a more durable USB drive.

OT: Linksys router misbehaviour
by Timothy Murphy 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

I'm running a Linksys WRT54GL router from my CentOS-7 home server. Every now and then (maybe once every 2 days) the router's WiFi cuts out, and I've found no way to solve this except to disconnect the power from the router, wait 10 seconds and then re-connect. This always works. The router is running under dd-wrt. My question is - which makes it a tiny bit CentOS-related - does anyone with such a router know of a way to wake the router up in such a case through the computer? I wouldn't have dared to ask this question here or anywhere until recently, as I assumed my ancient Linksys routers were obsolete. But I've been reading posts recently saying that there hasn't really been a Linux router to replace the WRT54GL, and in particular Linksys's recent 11n replacement is not as good as the old model in many ways. Anyway, if anyone has an answer to my query I should be very grateful. I have a couple of IP cameras working by WiFi on the computer, which I can look at remotely. I've connected one by TP-Link through the router, and this doesn't cut out, but it is not wholly satisfactory. But this shows that the router is alive and well, only its WiFi side is failing. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

ipset module loaded at startup on CentOS 6.5

26 Aug '14

Anybody on here successfully get ipset iptables sets to work _after_ a reboot? My question on StackExchange http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/149536/upon-bootup-all-iptables-are… Some of the things that need to be in place, otherwise iptables does not load: 1.) The kernel module ip_set needs to be loaded. 2.) The "sets" need to be created. 3.) Only after 1 and 2 succeed, dare start up iptables.

Postfix setup
by Timothy Murphy 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

I'm trying to clarify the various ways in which I could set up Postfix + Dovecot + SpamAssassin under CentOS-7, and I'd welcome any comments on the following remarks. As far as I can see there are 3 standard ways of setting this up: 1. Use amavisd 2. Use dovecot + pigeonhole/sieve 3. Use spamass-milter At present I'm following (2), but am thinking of going over to (1), since this seems simpler. (Amavisd wasn't available when I set up CentOS-7, so I didn't consider it then.) It seems to me that (2) is using dovecot in a slightly odd way, since as far as I can see dovecot normally takes email from ~/Maildir/cur/ and then moves marked spam. I'm not quite sure if (3) is a genuine alternative, or if it is why it is not the standard since it seems very simple? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Hardware raid health?
by Les Mikesell 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

I just had an IBM in a remote location with a hardware raid1 have both drives go bad. With local machines I probably would have caught it from the drive light before the 2nd one died... What is the state of the art in linux software monitoring for this? Long ago when that box was set up I think the best I could have done was a Java GUI tool that IBM had for their servers - and that seemed like overkill for a simple monitor.

Compiling modules in kernel source but not included in distro.
by Andrew Stringer 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi, I've been trying to compile some kernel modules for centos 6.5, specifically fore_200e atm driver (although I also have hardware to try nicstar and he ). This module is not included in the centos kernel or modules but is included in the stock kernel source. Lots of articles on compiling or patching modules in general or compiling code not included in the kernel source, but not much on creating a module in the source but not included in a distro. After reading some of the centos wiki articles on why I don't need the kernel source, I tried just compiling the module source on it's own, but when I tried to modprobe / insmod it, I get this error:- insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.20.5.el6.x86_64/extra/fore_200e.ko': -1 Invalid module format Google suggests this is because I am trying to compile against the wrong headers but as far as I can see, there is only one kernel and kernel headers on the system. This is my os:- Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-431.20.5.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 25 08:34:44 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux It's a vm used just for compiling the code, so obviously there isn't some real PCI bus hardware present but this should not cause the above error. As a different track, I tried to compile a new kernel and modules. This is on a real machine, with a 32bit kernel, 2.6.32-431.20.5.el6.i686 #1 SMP, although the hardware is 64 bits. I thought to avoid any possible issues with either non-64 bit clean code or trying to compile 32 bit code on a 64 bit machine initially, I installed a 32 bit os. With make menuconfig I could select the extra modules to compile. This seems to have worked ok, but the resulting kernel is kernel-2.6.32-1.i386.rpm, the src package is kernel-2.6.32-1.src.rpm but the running kernel is 2.6.32-431.20.5 Trying to install it gives:- [root@neptune ~]# rpm -ivh /home/andrew/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/kernel-2.6.32-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.i686 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.32-1.i386) is already installed package kernel-2.6.32-431.20.5.el6.i686 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.32-1.i386) is already installed [root@neptune ~]# I'm not sure why the new kernel isn't a later number. I downloaded the latest centos source so the major numbers match, but I'm not sure why the minor numbers are 2.6.32-1 not 2.6.32-431.20.5 and note importantly, how to fix it. I'm still not convinced that recompling the whole kernel just to get some new modules is the right way to go. My feeling is that my initial approach is the right way to go. Any clues on the best direction to proceed? Regards, Andrew. -- Windows, for life without walls. Linux, for life without Windows.

If you do it often enough, you should probably create a kickstart file, install image (e.g., Docker/KVM), or similar, which already has it disabled. I already do this for my OpenVZ images, which are preconfigured for my desires. And if that's too much work then it's probably not too often that you need to manually disable it. :) --keith -- kkeller(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

NetworkManager
by Christof Stocker 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

So I noticed that the minimal installation of CentOS 7 comes - in contrary to minimal CentOS 6.5 - preinstalled with the NetworkManager. I somewhat understand its usefulness, especially for wlan / desktops, and its not like it really bothers me.. That being said, it seems to me with my naive linux understanding that it kinda goes against the definition of a "minimal" installation. Does anyone know why this decision was made / a good idea?

color is not known to server "FOREGROUND"
by Frank Cox 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

I asked about this a while back with no response, but now have a bit more information. Still no idea how to fix it. I am occasionally seeing the above error when running various programs. Originally, I discovered it when running the "display" command from ImageMagick. $display picture.jpg display: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064. No picture is displayed. GraphicsMagick does the same thing, but it shows the picture: $ gm display picture.jpg gm display: Unable to load font (-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1) [Resource temporarily unavailable]. gm display: Color is not known to server (FOREGROUND) [No such file or directory]. gm display: Color is not known to server (BACKGROUND) [No such file or directory]. I have now discovered a tcl/tk program that appears to have the same issue: $ ./Mobi_Unpack.pyw Traceback (most recent call last): File "./Mobi_Unpack.pyw", line 211, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "./Mobi_Unpack.pyw", line 202, in main root = Tkinter.Tk() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1745, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use) _tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "BACKGROUND" My reading indicates that this may be due to an issue with the xorg rgbpath declaration, but I don't know how to check what xorg is actually using (since the rgbpath declaration doesn't appear in any of the files in the xorg.conf.d subdirectory). /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is present, though. Where and how is FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND defined for this purpose? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

I just took a chance, it was on a test server anyway ;-) In the disk partitioning screen you will see the old 6.5 installation. Clicking on it will bring up the existing 6.5 partitions. Then select each of the existing partitions and a configuration menu comes up which allows you to reformat the partition if required. So just don't reformat the partitions you want to keep .They then become part of the new 7.0 installation. Hope this helps.

Yum update changes inode of file
by Meikel 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hi folks, on CentOS 6.5 I run tripwire software which verifies data integrity. My system is automatically updated by yum (as far as I understand the /etc/cron.daily/0yum.cron is responsible for the regular system updates). After a system update I'm then notified by tripwire about the changes on the file system. By browsing those tripwire reports I found that there are files which did not change at all (i.e. the MD5 hash is the same as before) but the inode changed. I do not understand what yum did to the file that resulted in an inode change, especially I'm wondering how the inode can change although there was no modification on the file at all. Thanks in advance for any clarification. Find below an excerpt from the tripwire log (for /etc/nsswitch.conf) which shows that only inode changed. Regards, Meikel Excerpt from tripwire report: Modified object name: /etc/nsswitch.conf Property: Expected Observed ------------- ----------- ----------- Object Type Regular File Regular File Device Number 64770 64770 * Inode Number 393292 393686 Mode -rw-r--r-- -rw-r--r-- Num Links 1 1 UID root (0) root (0) GID root (0) root (0) Size 1688 1688 Modify Time Tue 04 May 2010 09:22:21 PM CEST Tue 04 May 2010 09:22:21 PM CEST Blocks 8 8 CRC32 DjDI7W DjDI7W MD5 ANYAnN/RJkbSUehjA7wMSM ANYAnN/RJkbSUehjA7wMSM

22 Aug '14

I have CentOS 6.x installed on a "HP ProLiant DL380 G5" server. It has eight 750GB drives in a hardware RAID6 array. Its acting as a host for a number of OpenVZ containers. Seems like every time I reboot this server which is not very often it sits for hours running a disk check or something on boot. The server is located 200+ miles away so its not very convenient to look at. Is there anyway to tell if it plans to run this or tell it not too? Right now its reporting one of the drives in array is bad and last time it did this a reboot resolved it.

Trying to override MAC addr
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

I am trying to override the mac addr. Now this is on an armv7 actually running the F19 kernel and Redsleeve 6, but it SHOULD be standard Centos6 ifcfg-eth0 content. Of course RSEL does not start with a ifcfg-eth0 file, letting network services do all the work, so I am starting from scratch, using the file from one of my C6 boxes with static addressing. My file has in it: DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO=none NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONBOOT="yes" TYPE="Ethernet" NAME="System eth0" DNS1=208.83.67.188 GATEWAY="208.83.67.177" IPADDR="208.83.67.179" HOSTNAME="rigel2.htt-consult.com" IPV6INIT="yes" MACADDR=02:67:15:00:01:79 MTU=1500 And when I restart network, it can't find eth0: # service network restart Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

I no longer have the MAC or HW addrs in ifcfg-eth0. Only in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, and only for name=eth0: # net device () SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="02:67:15:00:01:79", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" but on reboot, I get the error: Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [FAILED] and the ethernet comes up as eth1 and the eth1 line is added to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules Almost as if there is something else that needs changing.

I ws going by: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-networkscripts-… which says: MACADDR=/<MAC-address>/ where /<MAC-address>/ is the hardware address of the Ethernet device in the form /AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF/. This directive is used to assign a MAC address to an interface, overriding the one assigned to the physical NIC.

lvm module missing in initramfs
by Vlado Potisk 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

After upgrading the kernel package, my Centos 7 server didn't boot. Here is a small summary: old kernel = kernel-3.10.0-123.4.4.el7.x86_64 (everything just fine) new kernel = kernel-3.10.0-123.6.3.el7.x86_64 root partition is on a primary partition, NOT on a LVM volume /var partition is on a LVM volume new kernel's boot problem = systemd cannot mount /var partition saying requirements failed or something like that I have find out that the new kernel's initramfs image does not contain the lvm module while the old kernel's initramfs did. I have created a new initramfs with lvm using dracut and could boot the server successfully. However I do not consider this as a fix, and don't know how to find the primary cause of the problem. I need some help finding out who's to blame: Is the lvm module really missing? AFAIK the initramfs exists for one purpose only and that is to mount the root partition. All kernel modules are on this partition and once it is mounted, the kernel can access all hardware it supports - LVM included, of course. The fact is the root partition WAS mounted successfully before the boot process failed and the lvm module is NOT needed for this task. Initramfs did its job fine, didn't it? If that's true and the lvm module is NOT missing in the initramfs, is the boot problem systemd related? Has it failed to activate the LVM? Why? Any help would be appreciated.

Run script at startup
by Alan Holt 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hello, I just install the newest version of Centos 7 and I am a bit disappointed with new /etc/rc/local file I found that it's not usable anymore. *[root@lab3 ~]# cat /etc/rc.local* " THIS FILE IS ADDED FOR COMPATIBILITY PURPOSES" It is highly advisable to create own systemd services or udev rules to run scripts during boot instead of using this file. Usually I was added my script to /etc/rc.local *[root@lab3 ~]# echo /usr/bin/bash /opt/ssh_tunnel.sh >> /etc/rc.local* And it was working perfect. What I should do in new Centos 7, please help. *--* *Best regards.* *Alex Berber* *+9 72 54 285 952 3* *www.linuxspace.org* <http://www.linuxspace.org/>

Re: [CentOS] cleaner than before RHEL7 -> Re: Run script at startup
by Alan Holt 20 Aug '14

Hello, thank you for your quick answer. You are completely right with this: because they die away in case of network errors and reboots my script contain Reverse SSH Tunnel: [root@lab3 system]# cat /opt/ssh_tunnel.sh #!/bin/bash ssh -f -N -R 12345:localhost:22 root(a)158.216.189.170 So as I understood from your explanation, I can do it in two different ways. *First way: * To create systemd-unit with path to existing script: [Unit] > Description=My Service > After=network.service systemd-networkd.service network-online.target > [Service] > Type=oneshot > *ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash /opt/ssh_tunnel.sh* > [Install] > WantedBy=multi-user.target *Second way:* To create systemd-unit with all configuration inside. [Unit] > Description=SSH-Forwarding > After=network.service systemd-networkd.service network-online.target > [Service] > Type=simple > ExecStart= > */usr/bin/ssh -i /home/gateway/.ssh/id_ecdsa gateway@${REMOTE_HOST} -N -C* > *-L${LOCAL_ADDRESS}:${LOCAL_PORT}:127.0.0.1:${REMOTE_PORT}*Restart=always > RestartSec=60 > TimeoutSec=30 > CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE > [Install] > WantedBy=multi-user.target But in First Way I don't see this records: Restart=always > RestartSec=60 > TimeoutSec=30 So that means that my tunnel will die from time to time. (because network failure or something like that) And i see difference in this record (I will try to learn about it): Type=oneshot > Type=simple So this means that the best practice is to use *Second Way* described by you?

Logitech unifying receiver (pairing)
by Toralf Lund 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi, Is anyone here using a Logitech wireless mouse our keyboard or whatever using a "unifying receiver". Any luck with pairing new devices with the unit? I've tried various different programs from the net that's supposed to be able to do this, but they all fail in one way or the other. "pairing_tool" and "ltpair" will exit with a "broken pipe" message, while PyUnify.py from https://github.com/AveryLouie/BlogDocs fails says "usb.core.USBError: Input/output error", and solaar (installed via the EPEL Testing repo) fails in the following manner: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/solaar-cli", line 42, in <module> solaar.cli.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/solaar/cli.py", line 429, in main args = _parse_arguments() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/solaar/cli.py", line 421, in _parse_arguments logging.root.addHandler(logging.NullHandler()) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'NullHandler' This is on a CentOS 6 x86_64 system with all updates installed. Any other ideas? In case you don't know how these units work, note that they generally work just like that as long as you use the device and receiver from the same box, so as to speak. The problem is linking a device to a different receiver - which is supported, but requires software. - Toralf|||||| This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Re: [CentOS] SELinux vs. logwatch and virsh
by Bill Gee 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi Dan - "ausearch -m avc -ts recent" produces no output. If I run it as "ausearch -f virsh" then it produces output similar to this. Each day's run of logwatch produces three of these audit log entries. The a1 and a2 values are different for each entry, but everything else is the same. =============== time->Mon Aug 18 03:21:03 2014 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1408350063.257:7492): arch=c000003e syscall=21 success=no exit=-13 a0=11ee230 a1=4 a2=7fff722837b0 a3=7fff72283640 items=0 ppid=2815 pid=2816 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=981 comm="bash" exe="/usr/bin/bash" subj=system_u:system_r:logwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(1408350063.257:7492): avc: denied { read } for pid=2816 comm="bash" name="virsh" dev="dm-0" ino=135911290 scontext=system_u:system_r:logwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:virsh_exec_t:s0 tclass=file =============== I thought about using audit2allow as you suggest. The problem is then I don't really know what change is required. What exactly will it do? And is there a guarantee that it will work? Regarding your general question ... It seems to me that logwatch can be used to provide feedback on operational status of almost anything on the system. If you go beyond the typical reading of log files, then that often requires running some script or utility program or something. Anytime that is done, I think this kind of problem will appear. Much of what logwatch does is running files through "cat". That process runs as "bin_t" which must be a general type. I wonder what would happen if I changed virsh to the same type. For what it is worth, I have another computer running CentOS 6.5 and VirtualBox. The VBoxManage program must run as the same user which is running the virtual machines, which frustrates me to no end. I finally figured out a way to work around it by setting up a user cron job under that user. It saves the output to a text file. The logwatch script then comes along and reads that file into its output. It works, but it is not ideal. There are obvious problems with synchronization, plus if a computer is running VMs under multiple user accounts, then multiple user cron jobs are needed.

/dev/disk/by-uuid missing

hi! I got a problem with one of my servers where the boot process fails, because it cannot find its root partition. My /boot/grub/grub.conf uses to look like ---8<--- title CentOS (2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=8ef1f6cb-5dfc-497e-83d0-8d91cbbe4939 rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb crashkernel=auto rd_NO_DM rd_NO_LVM KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=de initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.img ---8<-- I could get the system to boot again by just replacing the "root=UUID-..." part with "root=/dev/sdb3" when I started looking around, I noticed that the "/dev/disk"by-uuid" directory was not there. The "by-id" as well as the "by-path" directories were both there. I tried to create directory and the links in the directory manually, but they were gone after the next reboot. I assume that these /dev/disk/ entries are created by some process at boot time, but I have no clue how this is done nor what is wrong with my system. I checked what blkid -L says, but this seems to be OK. ---8<--- device fs_type label mount point UUID ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/sda1 ext4 /mnt/raid a574f30b-fa43-4e34-8498-1cb29c4c261f /dev/sdb1 ext4 /boot 01746f38-6289-4b03-8011-bfac89ed89bd /dev/sdb2 swap <swap> 903a51b7-393d-4df9-9b58-f06a0a80a748 /dev/sdb3 ext4 / 8ef1f6cb-5dfc-497e-83d0-8d91cbbe4939 ---8<--- Any help? btw., the problem appeared when I installed a 18TB raid array.

You would be amazed as what corporate interests have twisted the courts into doing for them through sponsored legislation (DMCA for example). I agree about the BS part but that does not make it unenforceable BS in some jurisdictions. And then there is always the threat of impoverishment through litigation. A big enough complainant can simply litigate frivolous torts to impose an economic penalty on its victim regardless of the outcome. Those sorts of disclaimers simple provide a pretext.

Hi all, I need to install the latest memcached version (1.4.20) on a number of machines in this environment. There are only rpm's of this app for RHEL 6. But we need to install the latest memcached on a number of RHEL 5 machines. To be specific, they are OEL 5.7 hosts. I've installed all of the developers tools that I would need.

Java plugin (icedtea-web) does not load
by Toralf Lund 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, After some recent upgrade or the other, the browser plugin for java no longer works in my CentOS 6 x86_64 setup - using Firefox. Applets won't load, and no java plugin is mentioned in "about:plugins". The "openjdk" Java packages as well as icetea-web are installed, though, and everything worked just fine a few weeks ago. Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what may be wrong and/or how to diagnose the problem? Should I expect error messages anywhere if the plugin just won't load (can't see anything in the browser console)? Note that when I talk about upgrades, I mean that I generally install all "notified" system updates. - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

CentOS 6, Postfix, and Procmail -- how do I get it to work?
by Robert Heller 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

What is the trick to get Postfix's local command to pipe mail through procmail? I have: -bash-4.1$ grep allow_mail_to_commands /etc/postfix/main.cf allow_mail_to_commands = alias, forward and -bash-4.1$ cat .forward |/usr/bin/procmail and a .procmailrc file: -bash-4.1$ cat .procmailrc PATH=/usr/bsd:/bin:/usr/bin:/exp/rcf/share/bin MAILDIR=/var/lib/amanda/Mail #you'd better make sure it exists DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL #completely optional LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from #recommended :0 * ^From.*no-reply(a)sns.amazonaws.com |$HOME/retrieveArchive.tcl :0 ! heller(a)deepsoft.com Basically I want all mail to the Amanda Backup account, except messages from Amazon SNS, to be forwarded to me (the system admin). The retrieveArchive.tcl is a script to process Amazon SNS messages. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller(a)deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services

Skype on CentOS 6.5
by Mark LaPierre 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hey Y'all, About a week ago my Skype installation stopped working. I can start it up but I can't log on. Does this have something to do with the recent update to LibC? Is there a repo som where that has the latest version of Skype for CentOS 6.5? When I go to the Skype web site I see that there is a version several versions newer available for RPM based Linux but that one won't even start. Can anyone offer some sound advice to getting my Skype running again?

Upgrade to m7.0 retaining some existing partitions
by Tony Molloy 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, I want to install 7.0 replacing an existing 6.5 installation. When I choose custom partitioning I can delete the old 6.5 partitions and create new partitions 7.0 but there doesn't appear to be any way to retain an existing partition, say /home for instance, over the installation. Am I just missing something obvious or any ideas on what the magic is. Regards, Tony -- Linux nogs.tonyshome.ie 2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 31 17:20:51 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

need-restart ?

19 Aug '14

Hi, today I updated the glibc packages on some CentOS machines. After the Update I checked which services/processes I have to restart "yum -C ps" or "needs-restarting" At the most machines I get no information about necessary restarts, but at two machines a long listing : 1 : /sbin/init 386 : /sbin/udevd-d 659 : /sbin/udevd-d 999 : /usr/sbin/vmtoolsd 1103 : auditd 1128 : /sbin/rsyslogd-i/var/run/syslogd.pid-c5 1170 : rpcbind 1188 : rpc.statd 1229 : dbus-daemon--system 1270 : /usr/sbin/acpid 1279 : hald 1280 : hald-runner 1325 : hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event0 1329 : hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket 1350 : automount--pid-file/var/run/autofs.pid 1366 : /usr/sbin/mcelog--daemon 1386 : xinetd-stayalive-pidfile/var/run/xinetd.pid 1486 : /usr/sbin/abrtd 1494 : crond 1505 : /usr/sbin/atd ....... Can someone tell me why I get different output for the same action ? Regards, Kai

restarting the CentOS office hours
by Karanbir Singh 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi Guys, For a few weeks we ran the CentOS officehours, that were fairly well recieved. And now that CentOS-7 is out of the door, it would be good to restart those again, and perhaps focus on conversations wider than just about the Project and the SIG's process. We should do those too, but we should perhaps also consider including technical content and howto's etc. Would there be interest in something of this nature ? Also, I'm looking for some help to organise and run these office hours, so please get in touch if you are able to spare an hour or so every now and again to help with this effort. regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Use postfix and spamd on CentOS 6 - looking for a shortest guide
by Alexander Farber 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hello fellow CentOS-users, on the net there are lots of Spamassassin related HOWTOs - describing how to create a shell script for Postfix and how to install Spamassassin and start its spamd daemon - step by step. Additionally antivirus setups are described... But I have a strong feeling, that this is unneeded on CentOS 6 - because there are already preconfigured stock packages for postfix and spamassassin. So I have installed the both packages and I have configured postfix (it works fine). Also I have started the spamd (and can see it in "ps uawx") with: # chkconfig spamassassin on # service spamassassin start So I'm just missing the connection between postfix and spamd. Could anybody using these 2 programs on CentOS 6 please share it with me? Should I add something (involving spamc?) into /etc/postfix/master.cf? Thank you Alex P.S. Below is my "postconf -n". I accept mails (here I'd like to filter spam) for 6 virtual domains and then forward them to different GMail accounts: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = ipv4 mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost myhostname = www.afarber.de newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 smtp_destination_rate_delay = 40s smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_domains = videoskat.de balkan-preferans.de simplex.ru larissa-farber.de bukvy.de slova.de virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

To route messages from origin to destination based on the DNS information relating to the delivery address correct? But SMTP is not intended for message composition, submission, final delivery, display, content checking or any other ancillary operation. And it is these ancillary operations that are the source of much of the complexity and nearly all of the confusion and difficulty experienced with setting up Mail Transfer Agents (MTA). For example, a major problem discussed WRT MTAs is the proper setup of SpamAssassin (SA). People talk about setting up SA to filter mail. But SA does not do that. It simply scores messages as to the relative likelihood that the message contents are UCE/SPAM. Likewise, ClamAV does not filter for virus infection, it simply detects and reports. To filter one must configure the MTA to respond to the reports of SA and ClamAV. And there are many ways of configuring that response. Sendmail uses Milters for example whilst Postfix uses policy daemons. These are fundamentally different approaches to the problem. However, Postfix can also provide a Milter-like interface. Thus the configuration options can get quite extensive and it is difficult to anticipate and describe 'normal' configurations in such a case. Using Amavisd-New (http://www.amavis.org/) with Postfix to configure SA and ClamAv to filter mail worked best for me. Trying to get Postfix to work directly with either proved beyond my ability. Even with Sendmail I found that MailScanner was essential to get SA and ClamAV working together. Given that Amavis and MaiScanner exist for the sole purpose of bolting anti-spam and anti-virus filters into Postfix and Sendmail I infer that most people have experiences similar to mine. The Postfix mailing list at Cloud9 is a good place to get help WITH SPECIFIC POSTFIX PROBLEMS. However, I believe that it would be, shall we say, unwise to ask for hand-held guidance setting up a Postfix MTA on that list. RTFM is perhaps the mildest response one could expect. On the other hand, asking a very specific question about what TFM is trying to say in a particular section usually elicits helpful replies. I suggest that you look at Amavisd-New from EPEL and probably ClamAV from the same source (do not mix EPEL and Repoforge packages in this case) and go from there. I believe that you will find that much easier to work with than trying to use SA directly with Postfix. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Down-grading to an "obsoleted" package
by Toralf Lund 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a clean way to "downgrade" to the old rpm package when it was previously replaced by another that obsolete it? I mean, say that I have installed some rpm "A-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm", and along comes "B-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm", whose spec has Obsoletes: A Now, if I do "rpm -U B-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm" or "yum install B-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm" or (if B is available through an enabled repository) "yum update", what happens is that "A" gets removed and "B" is installed in its place. Then I decide I want to switch back to "A". So what do I do? I know that one answer is rpm -e B rpm -U A-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm - but what if A and B provide facilities required by other installed packages? I'll then have to pass "--nodeps" when removing B, but that's something that I really want to avoid as it means loosing control over whether all dependencies are satisfied. So is there an alternative? "rpm -U A-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm" alone seems to fail with file conflicts, assuming "B" replaces some of "A"'s files. In a real scenario I tried, there was no mention of the fact that something that was essentially a newer version of the same package, was already installed. "yum upgrade A" (when the package is available on a repository) fails in a similar manner. "yum localinstall A-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm" is a bit smarter - it exists with a message like "Cannot install package A. It is obsoleted by installed package B". "yum downgrade A" (via repository) says something like "No Match for available package: A-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm". "yum localdowngrade A-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm" would seem to have the highest probability of success based on the above, except that there is no such command :-/ Any other ideas? - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.
