hello guys hello master of holy bible of centos I am having problems with the package for EPEL roundcubemail centos 6 options for config roundcubemail to force SSL connections not working // enforce connections over https // with this option enabled, all non-secure connections will be redirected. // set the port for the ssl connection as value of this option if it differs from the default 443 $rcmail_config['force_https'] = true; // tell PHP that it should work as under secure connection // even if it doesn't recognize it as secure ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] is not set) // e.g. when you're running Roundcube behind a https proxy $rcmail_config['use_https'] = true; this option not work please maybe a fix -- http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC2626742 gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key C2626742 http://urlshort.eu fakessh @ http://gplus.to/sshfake http://gplus.to/sshswilting http://gplus.to/john.swilting https://lists.fakessh.eu/mailman/ This list is moderated by me, but all applications will be accepted provided they receive a note of presentation

I report the odd bug to RH through Bugzilla and I have always had a timely acknowledgement and as far as I can tell they have either been rejected or accepted within a reasonably short time.

Shortly after that event the principal developers of OO left that project and forked LibreOffice. Oracle went through some handwaving exercise about being committed to open source but development of OO stalled, either by design or neglect. Evential Oracle turned OO over to Apache.org but by then a large portion of the OO audience had already switched to LO and never looked back. OO has had its first release since being adopted by the Apache Foundation but that release did not support any form of English other than en_US. I do not know what other language packs are available now. Since Oracle is now out of the picture it is possible that LO and OO may again merge into a single project, eventually. On the other hand, maybe not. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

A couple of 32-bit packages got no update in 6.3/x86_64
by Michael Lampe 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Namely: * hivex * hivex-devel * librdmac * librdmac-devel * sanlock-libs * sanlock-devel and maybe others. Is this on purpose (I don't know if upstream has removed or updated the 32-bit rpms, but the old ones are still in C6.3/x86_64), or is it just the usual sloppyness (I've been told here on previous occasions the biarch is a pain in the ass to maintain, nobody cares anyway, it's not 'plain', and no sensible man should be using it). -Michael

timeout vs. winexe
by Les Mikesell 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

I use the winexe (a samba-based tool like psexec) to run a command remotely on windows targets. The problem is, sometimes it hangs until interrupted and I'd like to put it in a cron job. So I added a 'timeout 80' on the command line that starts a shell script that invokes winexe with the needed parameters. This does prevent the hang, but now every run takes the full 80 seconds to return where it should average 5 or 10 seconds on a normal execution - and it seems to trap normal interrupts until its own timeout is reached. Timeout seems to return immediately when other commands exit. Am I missing something obvious that might make it wait in this scenario? Strace show a loop of these filling the time after I think it has completed: ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B38400 opost isig -icanon echo ...}) = ?

CentOS 6.3 usb key...
by John Doe 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I upgraded my USB install keys (as per wiki) to 6.3 and now it freezes during the boot... It displays the boot.msg content, plus "boot:" (from ldlinux.sys); but it freezes after that, before displaying the syslinux.cfg menu... Anyone else having such problem, or an idea of what is going on...? For information, I make my keys using syslinux 3.82 on a CentOS 5.8. Thx, JD

Good point again Reindl. I've not broken the system, it's just I want to decide when the new kernel should be booted. My reason is I've had the kernel version change and that has been buggy and broke my system. So I'd rather take control myself over when my box moves to a newer kernel version. It's no problem for me to mount the GrubBoot partition and edit grub.conf manually, after making a backup of that file first, and then reboot the system.

launch a iptables + tc at power on
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi all I have a QoS script involving "iptables" and "tc" that I would like to run after "eth0" and "eth1" come up. I thought about some "POST_UP_SCRIPT=" or similar in /etc/sysconfig/network (or ifcfg-ethX) As I document, I found that http://goo.gl/jWoPn According to these, I have to create (if they does not exist): - /sbin/ifup-pre-local - /sbin/ifup-local It sounds a bit wild to me to have to tweak in /sbin for that, I really expected something in /etc/sysconfig/** Would you know if there is a way configure what I want? -- RMA.

Some good points there Reindl. I update my box once a week now. Usually if there are any kernel issues they are made know in a reasonable time. If I don't hear of any then I know it's safe for me to move to the latest kernel release. So basically I'm playing safe by letting others find any issues, and waiting until that's been addressed with another kernel release before I move onto the latest kernel.

Trying to find all the kernel modules needed for my machine using shell script
by Aft nix 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi, I'm developing kernel modules right now, and the build times are starting to get under my skin. As a side effect i'm taking way too many "coffee" breaks during builds. So i was looking for a way to build only the stuffs i need for my platform. Chapter 7 and 8 of "linux kernel in a nutshell" gave a good detail of how to do that by hand. Its a good read : http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ But Although i understand the stuffs, this is still a lot of tweaks to make that work. 2.6.32 and later kernels added a new target "make localmodconfig". which scans through "lsmod" and change the .config appropriately. So i thought i found my "automation". But this perl script has some problem too. This thread describes the problems : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=845113 There was also a proposed solution which apparently worked for others , is to run the script directly instead of using make's target. Although for me, make localmodconfig does not work at all. its because of the following : $make clean $make mrproper $cp /boo/config-'uname -r' .config $make localmodconfig and it haults with vboxguest config not found!! nf_defrag_ipv6 config not found!! vboxsf config not found!! vboxvideo config not found!! The thing is my kernel development environment is inside virtualbox. These vbox modules were installed when i chose to install "virtualbox guest addtion". And the netfilter module might be a Distribution specific module(Lot of netfilter modules are not part of the mainline kernel, so its not a shock to me), which is not included in mainline kernel. Now the workaround this obviously unloading these module and trying again. But I'm thinking if there is patch for the "streamline_config.pl" which will enable the user to exclude certain modules if s/he wants. Problem is i have "zero" knowledge about perl and i like it that way. So my problems in "nutshell" 1) Patching streamline_config.pl so i can give a list of module name as argument which it will exclude from processing the config file. 2) I've tried to run the script by myself. But running it directly fails with a error. [root@kernel-host-rh6 linux-2.6]# sh scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 45: my: command not found scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 47: my: command not found scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 48: chomp: command not found scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 50: syntax error near unexpected token `(' scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 50: `my @searchconfigs = (' Again my "zero" knowledge about perl does not helping my case. Additional info: I have faced the same thing in 2.6.32, 2.6.33, 2.6.35, 3.4, 3.4.rc1 .....(I constantly switch version for various reasons, everywhere the problem is same) You can access the script from kernel.org gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=blob;f=… Its from 3.4.0. `git log --stat scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl` shows some activity recently on this file. But my problem persists. 3) Is there any way i can get the "Centos specific" patches in "plain patch" format? That means i dont wanna do things in src-rpm way. If the patches are available in normal patch format i can keep everything tidy in my kernel git tree. -- -aft

BCM4313 on CentOS 6.3

14 Jul '12

Hi all, I'm a complete newbie in Linux and am trying to get my Broadcom BCM4313 working in my Lenovo S10-3t netbook (CentOS 6.3 installed from LiveCD). I followed the steps in the wiki, which lead me to ELRepo: wl-kmod. I followed the instructions there until Step 2: $ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SPECS,SOURCES,SRPMS} $ echo -e "%_topdir $(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild\n%dist .el$(lsb_release -s -r|cut -d"." -f1).local" >> ~/.rpmmacros Then I got stuck with this message: bash: lsb_release: command not found Next, I tried using the driver from Broadcom site, and ended up with this message: KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C

70-persistent-net-rules
by Jerry Geis 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

When my machine installs (CentOS 6.3) the two network cards are getting reversed. The PCI card is getting eth0 and the motherboard is getting eth1. I would like them in reverse order to keep things the same as they used to be. How can I easily tell these two to reverse? Generate the 70-persistent-net-rules with motherboard eth0 first then the PCI slot? Thanks, Jerry

Strange httpd problem
by Eric Viseur 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi, I'm currently setting up an IP accouting machine using CentOS 6 and pmacct, compiled from source. The machine has two network interfaces : - a "normal" one, used for SSH remote administration and viewing the accouting data through a webserver (eth0) - a "monitor" one, plugged into a mirroring port of our switch and with no IP address defined (eth1) The accouting part works fine, but I'm getting problems with the webserver. To ensure there are no interference with the monitor interface, I set iptables to drop all the outbound traffic on eth1 and httpd in bound to the IP address of eth0, but I randomly become unable to contact the webserver; my browser tells me it couldn't contact it. The SSH access works fine and the CPU and memory usage are OK (5% CPU and 10% memory, our network is currently on low traffic). Any clues why this is happening ? Regards, Eric Viseur

XEN or KVM - performance/stability/security?
by Rafał Radecki 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi all. I am currently building a small test cloud based on Eucalyptus 2.0.3 and CentOS 5.8 x64. I have a choice which hypervisor to use: KVM or XEN. KVM is the default in CentOS 6 but I have read also many good things (for example PV guest machines, isolation between Dom0 and DomU) about XEN. Key factors from my opint of view are: - stability (which one runs more smoothly on CentOS?) - performance (XEN PV/HVM(with or without pv drivers) vs KVM HVM(with or without pv drivers)) - security Could you share your experience in these areas? Best regards, Rafal Radecki.

Because the mysql connection is via an ssh tunnel, you need to ensure on the MySQL server hostB that is allows the mysql user access from 127.0.0.1 on hostB as that is effectively where the MySQL server on hostB sees the connection coming from. >Also, when I do this, it still opens up an ssh session, logging me into the >remote machine, thus making it so I can't use this terminal.

I have used an expect script to do this in the past. Which allows you to remotely log in to a server. Downside is you need to store the password in plain text in the expect script. So make sure only root can read the script. Or setup a lower privilege user to use sudo and do it that way. regards Tim Tim D'Cruz

This worked. I have not ever run across this issue before, so I didn't know that using localhost tied mysql to only a socket connection, but now I do.

ssh port forwarding
by Ski Dawg 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hello Everyone, I am having a problem with setting up port forwarding from one of our local CentOS machines to an AWS EC2 instance. We are wanting to make mysql connections over an ssh tunnel. In this case, lets say that hostA is our local machine, and hostB is the Amazon EC2 instance. I have tried several different variations (that I have found from google searching), including: from hostA: ssh -L 22222:hostB:3306 user@hostB from hostA: ssh -L 22222:localhost:3306 user@hostB from hostA: ssh -L 22222:hostB:3306 user@localhost No matter which variation I have tried, in every case, it will actually create an ssh connection to the hostB, and log me into hostB, giving me its prompt. If I try the port (22222) for the localhost (hostA) in another terminal window, it doesn't allow the connection. netstat also doesn't show port 22222 to be opened on the local machine (hostA). I have turned on AllowTcpForwarding on both the remote machine and the local machine. I have also made sure that port 22222 is opened on both machine firewalls (including the EC2 security group). What am I doing incorrectly or missing? -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window. -- Steve Wozniak

CentOS6.2: installation at specific kernel level
by Cal Sawyer 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi, all I have a number of machines that are out of sync with one another by virtue of having done a yum update after a base 6.2 install at different times (all were previous CentOS 5.3) Consequently, systems are a mix of 2.6.32-220.7.1, 2.6.32-220.13.1 or 2.6.32-220.17.1. So 2 questions: - Is it possible to perform a yum update (or another other kind of update), specifying installation of, say, kernel 2.6.32-220.17.1 along with the packages that were relevant at the time when 2.6.32-220.17.1 was current? - Is it possible to capture and save for future installations the current kernel rev and associated packages as exist in the repos today and install as a "frozen-in-time" distribution? thanks! - c sawyer

AMD Opteron 1218 wrong CPU metrics in 6.3
by Vlad K. 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hello all, since upgrade to 6.3 (and kernel 2.6.32-279.x) it looks like only one core of the AMD Dualcore Opteron 1218 is functional. Reverting to previous kernel shows everything working as expected. I've filed a bug report here after failing to figure out if it is just a configuration problem: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5821 I can't find anything on the net that would explain where the problem is. /proc/cpuinfo shows two cores, but top and /proc/stat show basically one core working: - top shows cpu0 idle constantly at 0%, and sporadic 100%sy or 50%sy 50%us, which can't be right - /proc/stat shows cpu0 idle and iowat at 0 - Munin CPU graph shows 200% available but metrics go only up to 100% - mpstat -P ALL shows proper %idle for both cores, but still core0 gets either 100%sy or 50%sy 50%us sporadically. I've also got this in the logs, possibly due to BIOS, and I don't know if it is related, I've seen it with 6.2 too. Jul 11 20:44:57 app1 kernel: [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: No compatible ACPI _PSS objects found. Jul 11 20:44:57 app1 kernel: [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: Try again with latest BIOS. Any ideas what the possible cause could be or what can I do to figure this out? It's a rented server so I don't have the ability to toy with the BIOS. Thanks. -- .oO V Oo.

Problem with RAID on 6.3
by Stephen Harris 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

I have 4 ST2000DL003-9VT166 (2Tbyte) disks in a RAID 5 array. Because of the size I built them as a GPT partitioned disk.

FYI, minor change in anaconda behaviour between 6.2 and 6.3
by Stephen Harris 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

If you use a kickstart file to build unattended servers (eg virt-install) then new disks or virtual volumes will cause problems unless you have "zerombr true" in the kickstart file eg zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype=ext4 --asprimary --size=100 part swap --asprimary --size=512 part / --fstype=ext4 --asprimary --grow --size=1 (CentOS 6.2 didn't need zerombr). Also FWIW, lines such as repo --name="CentOS" --baseurl=http://repo/CentOS/DVD/CentOS-6 repo --name="Updates" --baseurl=http://repo/CentOS/updates/centos6/x86_64 now work. In CentOS6.2 this would fail with dependency problems. Whether that's just 'cos the updates repo doesn't have conflicting packages so far and it'll break in the future, but it's working today :-) -- rgds Stephen

What format is the images/pxeboot/initrd.img file on the DVD ? Its not gzip its not straight cpio What is it? I wish to change it. I'm finding information on changing the gzip version of initrd but not the PXE one. If I do "file initrd.img" it just says data. Thanks, Jerry

So, just wondering, is OpenJDK7 in CentOS 6.3??

(No intention to offend anyone, just thinking aloud). I am downloading CentOS 6.3 as I write this, so I'll soon find out... yet I wanted to ask anyhow (because perhaps the addition of OpenJDK7 -if present- could be added to the wiki?).

[CentOS 6.3] rsyslog 5.8.10-2 - PreserveFQDN directive ignored
by SilverTip257 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello, I recently upgraded a server from CentOS 6.2 to 6.3 I found a change in the behavior of rsyslog's configuration file that I found particularly interesting. The "$PreserveFQDN on" directive was not being recognized as the config remained unchanged during the upgrade. This incorrect behavior caused the host to syslog with only the host name and not it's fully qualified domain name. ** Has anyone else experienced this odd behavior? ** I did find a workaround [0] [1], but feel this behavior is a bug. Note the bugreport linked previously was for version 5.4.0 and reported in July 2010. If I make $PreserveFQDN the _first_ directive it syslogs with the FQDN otherwise the directive is ignored. The official 6.2 mirror has rsyslog-4.6.2-12.el6.i686.rpm and 6.3 has rsyslog-5.8.10-2.el6.i686.rpm For the record here's my output from `yum info rsyslog`: Name : rsyslog Arch : i686 Version : 5.8.10 Release : 2.el6 Size : 2.1 M Repo : installed >From repo : base Summary : Enhanced system logging and kernel message trapping daemons URL : http://www.rsyslog.com/ License : (GPLv3+ and ASL 2.0) Description : Rsyslog is an enhanced, multi-threaded syslog daemon. It supports MySQL, : syslog/TCP, RFC 3195, permitted sender lists, filtering on any message part, : and fine grain output format control. It is compatible with stock sysklogd : and can be used as a drop-in replacement. Rsyslog is simple to set up, with : advanced features suitable for enterprise-class, encryption-protected syslog : relay chains. I've not found other reports of this issue with CentOS 6.3 so far and there's no recent mention of this bug [yet] on the Rsyslog Bugzilla [2].

Since the Sun acquisition, and despite the LO-OpenOffice spat (which btw the 'community' forkers destroyed the future of the former Sun StarOffice, in the name of freedom, of course), most of the former Sun FOSS projects -at least the mainstream ones- have been doing well: Virtualbox, GPL Java SE (OpenJDK), NetBeans, Glassfish J2EE server, MySQL, even while Oracle had other proprietary products in its arsenal that would overlap (ie JDeveloper freeware overlaped with NetBeans, yet Oracle continued with Netbeans development nevertheless, with v7.2 just released and extended for better PHP/C++ support). Having said that, I wouldn't touch Oracle's propietary offerings even with the proverbial 20ft pole -mostly because I cannot afford any and there are worthy alternatives which are totally free- but Sun's FOSS projects I care about are alive and doing well (even OO under Apache's).

System crash -- no clue why
by Michael Eager 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hi -- My CentOS 5.8 server crashed, leaving no clue why. The last entry in /var/log/messages is a dhcpd notice around 4:00am, followed by the restart message when I rebooted. The only clue that I have is that the fan was running full speed when I restarted it. The fan slowed to normal speed. Any ideas what I can do to find out the cause? -- Michael Eager eager(a)eagercon.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-6.3 i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:10:09 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.3 i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4FFB48B1.8060901(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.3 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.3 are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.3 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.3 is based on the upstream release EL 6.3 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. All updates released since upstream 6.3 release are also released to the CentOS-6.3 mirrors. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-6.0 / 6.1 or 6.2 Unless you have edited your yum configs, a 'yum update' should move your machine seamlessly from any previous CentOS-6.x release to CentOS-6.3 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.3 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Usually its also the fastest means to download the distro. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/i386/CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD1to2.t… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1t… You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. We have also made efforts to try and ensure that most install types and roles can be run from DVD-1 itself. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.3 ISOS: i386: 541f98e36a7034ab3b470ddf5e2232df3829983e CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD1.iso 44d9e8652af683b844138ea2ea03e6772c18a613 CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD2.iso c596411085110dbb67fb030e667ae054afb413c8 CentOS-6.3-i386-minimal.iso 51dcbf68ddc0fc2907ecbba055bf041dc8ae7ca9 CentOS-6.3-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: eaa52f3d1ccf2df3b03e064fb0fa6168be28a4d4 CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 29eee5946372ed29de509b9604d895b99d36a33f CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 09801301433c8dc1a93d732790f9a4d8ca7895e6 CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.iso c85069ee289d6eb279ba1c1ab0c259513302b8fd CentOS-6.3-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are released to vault.centos.org. +++++++++++++++++++++++ LiveCD and LiveDVD We will be releasing the LiveCD and LiveDVD images in the next few days for both i386 and x86_64. +++++++++++++++++++++++ CentOS on PowerPC Work is under-way to bring CentOS-6 to the powerpc platform and we hope to have a Beta CentOS-6.3 release by the end of August. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Contributing and joining the project: We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute . If you have questions or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not covered on that page, feel free to drop in on #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org) +++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to everyone who contributed towards making CentOS 6.3, specially the effort put in, as always, by the QA team. A special shout out to all the donors who have contributed hardware, network connectivity, hosting and resources over the years. The CentOS project now has a fairly well setup resource pool, purely thanks to the donors.

CentOS 5.8 crash/freeze running VMware
by Michael Eager 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hi -- I have a server running CentOS 5.8. It has a 6-core AMD processor, 16Gb memory, and a RAID 5 file system. It serves as both a file server and to run several VMware virtual machines. The guest machines run Windows 7 and various versions of Linux. The system is running the latest version of VMware Workstation. Until recently, I started VMs using the VMware Workstation GUI. The system has been very stable and seldom crashes. Recently, I set up an init script to start several VMs at boot time using the vmrun command. This appeared to work correctly, but the system has become unstable, freezing at various times. When the system freezes, there is no console response and it does not respond to a ping. There is nothing in syslog to indicate any error. The script started 8 VMs. I've cut back to now running 4 VMs and the system appears stable. Is there some relation between the number of cores and the number of VMs one can run? Is there something else which might cause the system to crash when running multiple VMs? Any suggestions to identify why the system crashed? -- Michael Eager eager(a)eagercon.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077

[Clustering] No OCFS2 Clusters with Pacemaker/Corosync?
by Errol Neal 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hello Fellow CentOS users. I was hoping to get some information on Pacemaker clusters using OCFS2 on CentOS 6.x. In my initial attempts to get this to work, I realized that Pacemaker is packaged much differently on CentOS than it is on Debian or SUSE. For example, /usr/sbin/dlm_controld.pcmk is missing and ocfs2-tools is nowhere to be found. Users could of course pull in packages from say Oracle Enterprise Linux, but I was curious as to why this is the case? Is OCFS2 not supported on CentOS? Thanks for the insight.

Does anybody have a working version of tcptrack running on Centos 6 x64? The rpmforge rpm installs and runs on the -t eth# command, but if you add a port to it, it bombs with a pcap compile error. It runs fine for me on Centos 5 x64, but seems to have what looks like an old bug reintroduced in 6. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

QT menu decorations missing on Centos 6
by Frank Cox 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

See this screenshot for an example of what I get when I run qtconfig-qt4 on Centos 6 and select a menu: http://www.melvilletheatre.com/screenshot-qt-example.png If the list is long, the menu extends from the top to the bottom of my physical screen, with a little arrow at the top and the bottom which, if I sit the mouse pointer on the arrow, makes the list scroll up and down. As you can see, the decorations (scroll bar, etc) are missing. I don't think it's a configuration issue, but rather an issue of a missing library, or missing functionality in a library. The program appears to be trying to use a qt function that doesn't exist on this computer so it's doing some kind of a fallback to a bare-bones menu list. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!
