CentOS 6.2 and VirtualBox 4.1.8
by Frank M. Ramaekers 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Okay, I go through the install and it reboots, but I have no Network (using the "Bridged Adapter"). Think I've run into a Catch-22. Now I'm trying to "Install Guest Additions" and it requires the "kernel-devel". Okay, not I'm trying to mount the DVD1 (iso), but linux is showing it as empty (no files). But if I mount this on a 5.7 VM, it shows the files. Ideas? Frank M.

KVM guests failed to start after 6.2 upgrade
by Emmett Culley 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

I tore my hair out for a while after rebooting into 6.2 because none of the VM guests would start. After trying lots of things, like down grading qemu-kvm (which fixed it when I upgraded via the CR repository and didn't this time), cloning a VM, and even beginning to create new VM to restore from backup. Luckily I discovered that there is a log for each VM and found in each case it failed because vmvga is not compiled into KVM. So I changed them all to cirrus via virt-manager and they all work again. The host machine is all up to date and all of the guest start and operate as usual. Emmett

6.2 and login.defs
by John Doe 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hi, After the 6.2 upgrade, the new /etc/login.defs has: ENCRYPT_METHOD SHA512 instead of MD5Is it safe to just apply the change? Will my current MD5 passwords in /etc/passwd still work and only new passwords will be SHA512? Or are they automatically "converted" (rehashed) to SHA512? Thx, JD

6.2 Radeon HDMI audio gotcha
by James Szinger 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

I had some trouble (now solved) with the recent upgrade to 6.2. There was no sound from the DVI/HDMI output and video played back much too fast. Booting kernel-2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64 restored sound and video playback. The solution is to add 'radeon.audio=1' to the kernel arguments from grub and the new kernel also worked. I'm using CentOS 6 on a media computer with the following graphics chip: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD 4200] 01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series] The Linux 3.0 kernel has the audio device disabled by default because some users were suffering from blank screens. These changes were then backported to the Radeon kernel driver for 6.2. Some searching revealed this as known issue, including Fedora bug 754825 and Ubuntu bug 897008. I'm reporting this here because I didn't see it mentioned in either the upstream 6.2 release notes or the CentOS 6.2 release notes. Finally, thanks to the CentOS team for another fine release. Jim

Heads up: corrupt ifup-eth script in initscripts package on 5.7
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi, after a lot of head scratching I found that the ifup-eth script in the initscripts package seems to be corrupt. I filed a bug with the details here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5333 Given the nature of the corruption you might be not affected at all, see strange error messages or end up with networking problems on Centos 5.7 depending on what you configuration looks like. I just thought I'd mention it here in case someone is in the same position as me and sees weird things happening when dealing with network configuration. I almost questioned my sanity before I went and dug into the networking scripts and found the problem. Regards, Dennis

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-6.2 i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) 2. CESA-2011:1845 Moderate CentOS 5 i386 tomcat5 Update (Johnny Hughes) 3. CESA-2011:1845 Moderate CentOS 5 x86_64 tomcat5 Update (Johnny Hughes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:27:59 +0000 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.2 i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4EF0D3AF.1040804(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.2 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.2 are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.2 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.2 is based on the upstream release EL 6.2 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 6.2 release are also released to the CentOS-6.2 mirrors. With this release we are now back to a regular, managed and tested release path and time scales. However, for the time being, we are going to retain the CR/ repo in the event its needed in the future to push ahead-of-release updates. +++++++++++++++++++++++ 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 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.2 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. In most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a thousand people seeding CentOS-6 and it's possible to get upto 400mbps downloads via these torrents. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.2/isos/i386/CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1to2.t… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.2/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.2-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. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.2 ISOS: i386: ad741581b3d3969bcf867cf1e47160902c8876f6 CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1.iso 6131d4c8ca2be77a25eaf1c61f94c7500786e683 CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD2.iso 353d7e070a4cfc34148f9610b05cf1c55ad4fa57 CentOS-6.2-i386-minimal.iso 02444d6984089d9fc16ca989781482c8202357f0 CentOS-6.2-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: d97377c83fab7493dbd1c2e04dab29c8ba6cd351 CentOS-6.2-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 7eac42c403725891b53cd899f0ef7560dc3a9d72 CentOS-6.2-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 10b26ce414af86be26f3a47dcc76d8f81e333979 CentOS-6.2-x86_64-minimal.iso 4858a8870cc5048876edd51dead25b9c718fcfbe CentOS-6.2-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are released to vault.centos.org - A separate announcement will be send through about how we are changing the way we handle srpms and debuginfo rpms from here on in order to improve the overall user experience. +++++++++++++++++++++++ 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 6.2, specially the enormous effort put in by everyone on the QA team - right on the heels of the 6.1 release. And the excellent work being done on the test-automation. I would personally like to thank my wife, who puts up with all sorts of strange work hours and sacrifices personal time, often, in favour of letting me put in more efforts into CentOS.

Yum update woes (perl compression)
by Frank M. Ramaekers 21 Dec '11

I have had very little problems with yum and it's updates, but this one has me stumped (CentOS 5.4): Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.loosefoot.com * extras: yum.singlehop.com * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * updates: mirrors.cmich.edu Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.024 for package: perl-IO-Compress ---> Package perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2.i386 0:2.037-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 for package: perl-IO-Compress ---> Package perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib.i386 0:2.037-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Bzip2) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.024 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Is this some sort of perl install/update requirement?

Folks, Should semanage be part of the policycoreutils package? At least in 6.x, it's not. mark

C6 gateway/firewall problem
by Laurent Wandrebeck 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi, I'm using system-config-firewall (C6 x86_64, fully up to date) to configure a gateway/firewall box. 2 nics, eth0 (configured as bridge0, mtu 7200) connected to the lan, eth1 being connected directly to the internet (public ip, mtu 1500). ssh port is open and accessible. nat is working fine. I've put bridge0 as a trusted interface, eth1 is masqueraded. I've put ports 20,21,80 as forwarded ports on eth1 to lan machines. Thing is nmap (and classical ways to access these protocols) say it's closed. I've tried to make 20,21,80 open and forwarded, to no avail. Could someone give me a hand ? Thanks, Laurent.

multilib error on centos 6.2 x86_64
by 李耀宗 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

I just tried to update to CentOS 6.2, but I am faced with "Errors: Protected multilib versions" error, the offending packages are: jasper-libs.i686 krb5-libs.i686 nss.i686 After some investigation, it turns out that there are newer packages in "x86_64 updates" repository, but only for x86_64 version, while in "x86_64 main" repository there are older i686 version packages, causing version conflict. To solve these problem, I have to manually install the newer i686 packages in "i686 updates" repository. Is there anything wrong in the build system that lacked those i686 packages in"x86_64 updates" repository?

sendmail and sudo
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

This is annoying. I ssh to a server, then, it doesn't matter if I su - or sudo -s, I start a service (motion, if it matters), and when the service sends an email, it's from me, not from root, or the user the service runs as. I've dumped my environment, I've just dumped service's environment. I've set SUDO_USER to root, and SUDO_UID to 0, and restarted the service, and still no joy. My manager found this trick: echo "To: user help " | sendmail -t and the same thing happens. Anyone else run into this? No relevant google hits so far. mark

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/chcon "mac_admin" access
by James B. Byrne 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

CentOS-6.1 KVM guest on CentOS-6.1 host. I am seeing this SEAlert in the /var/log/audit/audit.log file a new guest immediately after startup. Can someone tell me what it means and what I should do about it? A Google search reveals a number of Fedora issues with similar errors dating back a few years; most of which seem to have something to do with package ownership. This guest starts without activating any Ethernet i/f if that has any bearing on the matter. # sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log | more found 1 alerts in /var/log/audit/audit.log -------------------------------------------------------- Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/chcon "mac_admin" access . Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by chcon. It is not expected that this access is required by chcon and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Disable autoneg on r8169?
by Scott Johnson 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Two problems I hope to solve: 1. The switch being used has autoneg off and has port set to 100 full duplex. 2. Many times NIC fails to come up properly during PXE boot: r8169: eth0: link down ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready I can't use ethtool to disable autoneg because the nic driver is built into a bzImage. The root fs is currently being mounted via nfs during pxeboot at speed 10, half-duplex. In the past for sk98lin driver I could pass a kernel module parameter sk98lin.ConType=100FD on the kernel boot line. I looked at the r8169.c and tried to hard code the default to autoneg off but that didn't work. --- linux-2.6.18-274.12.1.el5.i686/drivers/net/r8169.c +++ disable-autoneg/drivers/net/r8169.c @@ -2814,7 +2814,8 @@ * rtl8169_set_speed_xmii takes good care of the Fast Ethernet * only 8101.

yum update fails on perl dependancy
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

I finally started yum upgrade for CentOS 6.0+CR x86_64. yum reports that I have already installed perl-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1, but perl-CGI requests for perl-5.10.1-119.el6 from ISO/base repo. Can someone advise on the best course of action? Logical would be to downgrade perl to the one from ISO file. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

Upgrade frim 6.0 to 6.1 crashes on x3850
by Thomas Rønshof 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hi, After yum update on a Cent OS 6.0 IBM x3850 server to Cent OS 6.1, the kernel crashes on boot. I have googlet a little, and find that others have the same problem and there seems not to be a solution yet. The kernel that crashes is 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64. If i boot the prior kernel 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 instead it works! Is it advisable to run the server with kernel 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 on a Cent OS 6.1 system ? And what is the problem ? Is it Cent OS / Redhat or IBM ? -- Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Thomas Rønshof Tel: +45 44923626 / 39551529 Mobil: +45 40575588 Mail: tr(a)kyborg.dk <mailto:tr@kyborg.dk> Web: www.kyborg.dk <http://www.kyborg.dk>

odd mdadm behavior
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Allo esteemed Centos-ers, Noticed something funny with an mdadm mirror based raid the other day. So I had a system disk set to mirror via mdadm. One of the disks went south at a remote office and since there was no one available to swap out the disk, I thought to leave it for later. Well, due to work being what is it, this later became a year. During one of the servers many reboots, much of the data on the system went missing. The logs even showed a gap from the day the disk went bad to the day this reboot occurred. So picture a gap in the logs of about a year or so. I first suspected foul play but soon discovered that the previous bad disk in the mirror became functional again and that its data basically put the server back to the time period being a year ago or so. Not a big deal as I do 2 types of backups every day so recovery was fine. Has any one seen this before and what could I have done to prevent this? Thanks in advance, - aurf

Squid to Cache RPMs from yum (was: forcing yum ...)
by Alan McKay 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

> > The default config won't cache large files. And yum will try to use > different mirrors every time. > > Aha. I thought I had it set for no file limit, but I guess using different mirrors is what is confounding me. So squid will cache a specific file from a specific site, I guess? And even if it tries to get the exact same file elsewhere, it will re-download it afresh? -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

forcing yum to download but not install
by Alan McKay 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Hey folks, Is there any way to fake a "yum update" just to get yum to force a download of all the files it needs, without actually installing them. I finally have a RPM cache/proxy working and I just want to populate it. The server I want to actually update cannot be updated until tomorrow but I'd like to do a fake update just to force the RPMs into my cache so they will all be pre-downloaded. I don't see anyway from the man page to do this. thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Question on httpd
by Jerry Geis 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

I have been requested to ensure the httpd on a server is version 2.2.21 or later. How do I verify that? On CentOS 5.7 x86_64 it says its version 2.2.3-53. is that equivalent to 2.2.21 in RedHat land with the way they do versions? Thanks. Jerry

Backup Redux
by Alan McKay 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Hey folks, I just went through the archives to see what people are doing for backups, and here is what I found : - amanda - bacula - BackupPC - FreeNAS Here is my situation : we have pretty much all Sun hardware with a Sun StorageTek SL24 tape unit backing it all up. OSes are a combination of RHEL and CentOS. The software we are using is EMC NetWorker Management Console version 3.5.1.Build.269 based on NetWorker version 7.5.1.Build.269 The pickle we are in right now is that this software is Java based, and stops working at a very specific release of JRE (1.6.26 or something like that). We still have some machines around with that release and it looks like we need to keep at least 1 of them, but this is clearly not a long term viable solution. In the end I want to get our central IT group to take over our backups if possible (we are a bit of an island outside of central IT), but as I pursue that path I also want to pursue a 2ndary path assuming they will say "no". I am familiar with BackupPC and will look at the other recommendations above. I think that Bacula and Amanda are sort of the drop-in replacements for what we have now so I'll look at them most closely. But if I do have to carry forward with our own backups I'd ideally like to get out of the tape game - never liked tapes. Anyway, since the last big backup discussion was over a year ago I figured I'd kick off another one to see if anything new has come up in the mean time. What are the current recommendations? cheers, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

6.x - find interface with link up
by Les Mikesell 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

In earlier versions 'mii-tool' would iterate over interfaces and show which have link up. In 6.x it wants an interface as a parameter. What is the appropriate way to find which of some number of of interfaces are connected? Better yet, what is the least typing to get the mac addresses of those interfaces? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Random Proliant Crashes CentOS 6.1
by John Hinton 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

I've been seeing some random Proliant DL380 G4 64bit crashes. Each time, on the console are messages relating tojbd2/cciss and something about a waitfor 120 seconds. Is anybody else seeing anything like this? Oddly, I can't seem to find this in the logs. I guess it can't write when this happens. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

Static routes with a metric?
by Matt Garman 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

Hi, How can I define static routes to be created at boot time with a specific metric? I have two NICs that ultimately end up at the same peer, but literally go through two completely different networks. IOW, each NIC connects to a different layer 3 device. Also, note that the machine actually has three total NICs: the third is the owner of the default route. The two mentioned above are for a specialized sub net. What I basically need to be able to do is this: route add -host h1 gw g1 metric 0 route add -host h1 gw g2 metric 10 Notice that everything is the same except the gateway and metric. I could put this in /etc/rc.local, but was wondering if there's a cleaner way to do it in e.g. the network-scripts directory. Thanks, Matt

how to find source of data loss / corruption
by Rudi Ahlers 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

Hi, 2 websites, hosted on 2 different CentOS 5.7 servers (one being very new, about 3 weeks old) keeps loosing data - but it's more like it's corrupted than being deleted. For example, a photo would be uploaded last night and today when we checked it, it doesn't show on the website. So we check if the file is on the server, and exists but is 0KB in size. Last night it still worked fine. The photo is 482Kb in size. The first time this happened we thought it was due to a bug with CentOS 5.7 + EXT4 + quotas (there's a bug open for this) and since the server's console kept giving errors about possible data corruption we thought it would be best if we move everything to a more stable platform. So we brought a new server, setup CentOS 5.7 + ext3 + quotas (which has been working fine on all our servers for a long time) and moved the data across. A few days down the line and I still see this happening. I'm out of ideas and hope someone could shed some light on the matter. I've checked some suggested search results, but couldn't find any issues with the HDD according to SMART. The servers' both have 4GB RAM and 8Core CPU's.Neither RAM, nor CPU usage is high. Both are setup with RAID10 across 4 entrerprise HDD's, one server has software RAID and the new one hardware RAID. So even when we changed the RAID subsystem it still happens. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

CentOS 5.7 gives me a blank screen after bootup
by Rudi Ahlers 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

Hi all, I have an odd problem, for which I couldn't find any suggestions on google. A CentOS 5.7x64 gives me a blank screen on bootup, both to the 17" LCD monitor connected to the VGA port, and to the KVMOVIP device built-into the server, I can see the GRUB boot loader, and everything booting up, upto the point where it says "Waiting for driver initialization.", then it goes blank - both on the LCD and the KVM. Does anyone know how to fix this? It does the same whether I boot into the CentOS, or XEN kernel, or in single user mode. First few lines of /etc/grub.conf: # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/md0 default 0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-274.7.1.el5xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5 dom0_mem=786M module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5xen ro root=/dev/LVM01/root nofb module /initrd-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5xen.img title CentOS (2.6.18-274.7.1.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5 ro root=/dev/LVM01/root nofb initrd /initrd-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5.img root@zaxen02:[~]$ uname -a Linux zaxen02 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Oct 20 17:06:34 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@zaxen02:[~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.7 (Final) -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

hal, gnome.. custom mount options for vfat storage devices
by wwp 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Hello there, w/ my CentOS6 (up-to-date), running GNOME, I'm struggling with HAL and mount options for my USB storage devices. According to what I'm reading from: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/hal.html My old policies in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ are ignored (and this is true!). Apparently I should edit my custom mount options through gconf-editor (in /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options) but whatever I set here or in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor, I see definitely no effect to mount options. Roughly, I'm trying to force mount options like storage location, flush or not, sync or not, shortname=, etc.) to my vfat-formatted USB sticks. Any hint? Am I looking at wrong configurations? BTW, should I worry about uhelper=udisks, does it mean that hal is irrelevant for what I want? Regards, -- wwp

Monitoring services
by Kenneth Porter 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

What's available to remotely monitor services? What I'd like is something that can run scripts for each service to connect to a port and verify that it's up, and then send me an SMS message (phone text) to let me know which, if any, are down. Also, does a script exist that checks all the services listed by chkconfig and reports those that should be up but are down?

Network Situation
by Gene Poole 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

In my personal environment, I've got 7 machines running, with 4 of those machines running various flavors of Linux (CentOS 5 x86_64; Fedora 15 x86_64; Fedora 14 i686). Based upon some issues with the Fedora 15 x86_64 machine I'm considering dropping Fedora 15 in favor of CentOS 6.1. My questions are: On the networking side, has a there been a move to change the ethernet names from eth0 to em1? After install, can I change from NetworkManager to plain network? On my CentOS 5 machine I'm running VMware Server 2 and would like to move to KVM virtualization on the Fedora 15/CentOS 6.1 box. Is the level of KVM comparable between Fedora 15 and CentOS 6? If I install CentOS 6.0 and sometime later upgrade to CentOS 6.2, will the fact that I'm running software raid-1 on the /boot partition cause me grief? Will the fact that I'm running software raid-1 and LVM that was defined under Fedora 12 cause me grief? Are there any caveats moving from Fedora 15 to CentOS 6? Any advise? Thanks, Gene Poole + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

Hello, with CentOS 6, my new server created an UUID entry in ifcfg-eth0 - additional to HWADDR entry. Up to CentOS 5 the connection to the netwark card was defind only by HWADDR. Now I have a new network card. How can I get the correct UUID? The server connects correct the network with the updated HWADDR without any UUID. Why do I need an UUID? Thank you for help in advance.

installing gnome, CentOS 6.1
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I just rebuilt a box to 6.1 for a user. Shortly after I delivered, she came up to ask about gnome; it had come up as KDE. I looked at the login screen, and in the session type, saw previous, custom, kde, and default. When I investigated, I found not all 7,532,340 gnome packages were installed. Googling for responses only in the last month, I found a lot of groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment", as opposed to what I put in our PXEboot file months ago, "GNOME Desktop Environment (RPM Fusion Free)". That didn't work either, and after a bit more googling, found people saying groupinstall Desktop. So, is upstream so GNOMEly that the rest of the desktops/window managers are just chopped liver? mark, annoyed at having to change the ks.cgi *again*

Cause for kernel panic

Hi ! On an 8-node cluster, one of the node did a kernel panic. The only bit of information I have is on a ssh console I had open, which said : Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:------------[ cut here ]------------ Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu15/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Stack: Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Call Trace: Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Code: 01 00 00 e8 26 8a cd e0 85 c0 0f 85 0e ff ff ff 48 89 df e8 76 f8 ff ff e9 01 ff ff ff 31 d2 eb d4 48 89 de 31 ff e8 c3 e3 ff ff <0f> 0b eb fe 66 66 66 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 55 48 Message from syslogd@node108 at Dec 14 19:00:15 ... kernel:Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception From this, is there a way to determine the cause ? kdump is not confirgured nor used, since the fencing of the node renders kdump useless. This is the second time in a few weeks it happens.

Missing nss dependency nss-softokn
by Cal Webster 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I'm getting yum update errors when attempting to update nss: --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: nss-3.12.10-2.el6_1.x86_64 (updates) Requires: nss-softokn(x86-64) >= 3.12.9 Installed: nss-softokn-3.12.7-1.1.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-CentOS-201106060106.x86_64/6.0) nss-softokn(x86-64) = 3.12.7-1.1.el6 I realize I need to swap in the 6.1 ISO on our internal mirror but the missing package doesn't appear to be on the mirrors either. I can't see nss-softokn-3.12.10-2.el6_1.x86_64.rpm anywhere on the mirrors. I checked the updates and cr repos on the Duke mirror for 6.0 and 6.1 but no joy. Did this one fall through the cracks or are the mirrors still syncing up? I'm happy to wait if it's just a timing issue but I wanted to be sure the list knew, just in case. ./Cal

Apache httpd-2.2.15 updates
by drsystems＠globalcerts.net 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hello, I am working on a CentOS Linux 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 system. I noticed that the system came with httpd-2.2.15-6 installed. After I run 'yum update' I get httpd-2.2.15-9. I did some research on the Internet, but can't find the following information: are most of the security fixes that appear in httpd-2.2.21 applied to the update on httpd-2.2.15-9? There was a security fix just last August, the CVE-2011-3192 on Range and DoS. I don't imagine that this is in the 2.2.15-9. Do you have plans to provide this patch in the repository so that 'yum update httpd*' would get this patch? Thank you in advance, Dirce Richards Systems Engineer, GlobalCerts

Unplugging DVI causes Disabling IRQ #11
by Scott Johnson 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I have some new PC hardware I'm using with the Intel H67 chipset. I created a bzImage I use for a PXE environment for a recovery mode, installing OS images, etc. The new mobo doesn't have a VGA port but instead DVI. Everytime I unplug the DVI cable it seems to cause "Disabling IRQ #11". After that the PC is basically unusable. The /proc/interrupts shows that hdd, usb, nic, RAID controller for some reason all share the same interrupt. What the heck? I tried booting with acpi=off and the bios doesn't seem to offer any IRQ/PnP options. Am I missing a specific driver in my bzImage for the H67 chipset or any ideas of what I could try next? It's been a sad day. bash-2.05b# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 15185951 XT-PIC-XT timer 1: 4 XT-PIC-XT i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 7: 75 XT-PIC-XT ehci_hcd:usb2 8: 1 XT-PIC-XT rtc 11: 2090574 XT-PIC-XT ahci, ehci_hcd:usb1, eth0, rr172x I even see a similar error on a fresh CentOS 5.7 install: irq 169: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff800bdf66>] __report_bad_irq+0x30/0x7d [<ffffffff800be1a4>] note_interrupt+0x1f1/0x232 [<ffffffff800bd6a5>] __do_IRQ+0xfa/0x140 [<ffffffff8006d4c1>] do_IRQ+0xe9/0xf7 [<ffffffff8005d615>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff801a2220>] acpi_safe_halt+0x25/0x36 [<ffffffff801a2a88>] acpi_processor_idle_simple+0xe6/0x31c [<ffffffff801a29a2>] acpi_processor_idle_simple+0x0/0x31c [<ffffffff80048fe2>] cpu_idle+0x95/0xb8 [<ffffffff80078a9a>] start_secondary+0x479/0x488 handlers: [<ffffffff801fc748>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x55) Disabling IRQ #169 Thanks for any help. -ScottEJ

Yum metadata / CR problems
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hi, after the release of 6.1 I have to do a "yum clean all" on all my 6.0 machines in order to make yum work again. The reason is that the old CR directory on the mirrors is now empty and the new one isn't used until I actually upgrade the system to 6.1 (or at least the centos-release package). Isn't there a better way to handle this without breaking yum? I'm also not quite sure why the "yum clean all" is required. It has been a few days now since 6.1 has been released so shouldn't the cached metadata have been expired by now anyway or is there metadata that has unusually long caching times? Regards, Dennis

When will 6.2 be released.

Let's go ahead and get this flame thread started now to save time. The CentOS team sucks ... it took XXXX days to do 6.1 ... it is going to take twice as long to get 6.2 My mom said CentOS blows. kbsingh is ugly. hughesjr is old and fat. OK ... that should do.

Using an MS Access database from CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
by Ron Young 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

@Work requires me to manipulate the MS Access database (mdb) file located on an XP box that is an integral part of a third party application that is central to the business. Does anyone have experience doing so? I have used odbtp in the recent past but it is extremely difficult to set up on the linux box as I learned when I recently upgraded from CentOS 4.x to 5.x. Is there another way to get read and write access to the mdb file from apache/php running from the linux box? A couple of hours of googling last night has resulted in finding very expensive odbc drivers for the linux box and nothing really foss except the odbc driver managers.

CentOS 6, yum-updatesd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a) what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron? I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some system, like home directory servers and backup servers are extremely unlikely to break with an autoupdate, so this is of immediate interest. mark

CR repo - version issue
by Philip Manuel 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi We use mrepo to keep a local repository. I downloaded the CentOS6.1 iso and used that as the base. We also have the CR repo added. I was expecting this change to cause no issues but the following packages have version issues between the base 6.1 and the CR repo:- base version CR version dbus-libs-1.2.24-4.el6_0.x86_64 dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64 libpng-1.2.44-1.el6.x86_64 libpng-1.2.46-1.el6_1.x86_64 cups-libs-1.4.2-39.el6.x86_64 cups-libs-1.4.2-39.el6_1.1.x86_64 zlib-1.2.3-25.el6.x86_64 zlib-1.2.3-26.el6.x86_64 krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6.x86_64 krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6_1.2.x86_64 perl-5.10.1-119.el6.x86_64 perl-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 perl-libs-5.10.1-119.el6.x86_64 perl-libs-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 There maybe a few other packages but this causes an issue with yum as it doesn't handle the el6_ suffix differences. Is this the intended behaviour ? Thanks
