[YUM] - Issue on package removal order on CentOS 5
by Olivier BONHOMME 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hello, I post here because I have an embarassing issue considering the yum version provided with CentOS 5. I am trying to package an application for CentOS. So I wrote my own specfile which is composed of declaration of various packages (main application and plugins for this applications). In that the configuration, the plugins RPM depends on the main application RPM because. Moreover, in all %postun blocks I execute a script which is provided my the main app RPM. My issue is that when I try to remove the packages with the yum remove command, the main app RPM is erased before the plugin RPM and in that case the postun scriptlets for the plugin fails because my script is not available anymore. As I read on the RPM and YUM doc, I used in the SPEC file the following instructions : Requires(post): mainapp >= %{version} Requires(postun): mainapp >= %{version} But even with this declaration, yum removes the RPM in bad order : Erasing : mainapp 1/2 Erasing : mainapp-plugin 2/2 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.48257: line 1: /usr/sbin/mainapp-setup: No such file or directory As a note, I say that I use a unique specfile for all my application. So is there a bug with yum or do I something wrong ? For now, I use an ugly workaround which tests the availability of the script in the postun block but I don't like it. Thanks in advance for your answers. Regards, Olivier BONHOMME

Thanks for all of your thoughts. I will look into gollem. The clients at school are windows 7. At home the clients might be any number of OS's. Eventually we might be using some sort of tablet devise probably Android based. Have any of you used Gollem? On Nov 5, 2011 8:16 PM, "Barry Brimer" <lists(a)brimer.org> wrote:

06 Nov '11

Hi all, I haven't found anything in Google about this. I'm creating a firewall router with Centos with few virtual IP using iptables. May I ask for your experience? Is there any pitfall or bad side of using virtual IP for this purpose? I'm using few virtual IP to accommodate few subnets that go through this firewall/router. Thank you. Fajar.

Odd ethernet interface

CentOS 6 updating policy
by David McGiven 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

I am migrating from debian to RHEL (CentOS) and I am wondering how the CentOS 6 updating system works. Suppose I install CentOS 6.1 now. Suppose in 8 months CentOS 6.2 is released. Now I issue a yum update, so my system will be updated to CentOS 6.2, or I will have an updated 6.1 ? What if I have been issuing yum update very day just to be sure there are no packages with urgent security bugs ? I am having a very updated 6.1 or an almost 6.2 ? Or are they the same thing ? I think that during this time I should be using Continous Release repository, right ? Also, which is the policy regarding new versions of software, kernel and libs ? The bugfixes will be backported or there will be major differences between, let’s say, 6.1 and 6.4 ? I couldn’t find all of these question properly answered in the FAQs Thanks in advance. Regards, David

Can't run fail2ban 0.8.4 [CentOS 6]
by Kévin GASPARD 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi, To begin I'm sorry for my poor English level, that's not my first language. On CentOS 6 I've installed fail2ban 0.8.4 from EPEL repository. I've configured it with this page : http://centoshelp.org/security/fail2ban/ Then I've tried this command : chkconfig --level 23 fail2ban on && service fail2ban start but the output says it fallen, nothing more. The status option says is stopped. Also I don't have log for it and no manual page (for the latest, this is normal ?). This is my /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf : http://pastebin.com/j5FhJzKY I'm asking here because I don't find help on Google, #centos and forums. Cordially, Kévin "Koshie" GASPARD.

Intel wireless firmware
by Ron Loftin 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

This may not be the best place to ask, but Google hasn't given me any useful information. I have an "older" laptop that is using the Intel 2200 wireless interface. I installed CentOS 5 on it some time ago and everything is fine. When I was reviewing my kickstart setups I found that the ipw2200 firmware package is no longer available in RPMForge. The CentOS site's how-to page for this interface still refers to RPMForge, so that now seems out of date. What happened to the Intel firmware packages on RPMForge and where else should I be looking for them ? I tried ELRepo and didn't see them there. Suggestions and pointers are welcome, and thanks in advance. -- Ron Loftin reloftin(a)twcny.rr.com "God, root, what is difference ?" Piter from UserFriendly

Archive mail format?
by Les Mikesell 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

I have a bunch of old mail spread variously across dovecot maildirs and mbox format files on several machines that are headed for the trash. Is there anything considered to be a portable archive format for mail messages, and if so are there tools to copy into it - or do I have to pick a client and copy to its local storage? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

CentOS-5.7 + megaraid + SELinux : update problem
by Philippe Naudin 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hello, After updating to CentOS-5.7, I have a (small) problem : The context of /dev/megadev0 is now defined (in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts) as system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0. This cause smartmontools to fail : avc: denied { read write } for pid=2847 comm="smartd" name="megadev0" dev=tmpfs ino=8284 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file Changing the context (of megadev0) to fixed_disk_device_t solves the problem, but is this the best solution ?

VirtualBox on CentOS 6.0?
by David McGuffey 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

I have an older quad-core AMD processor that supports hardware virtualization on a motherboard that does not support it in the bios. Eventually I'll swap the mobo out on this box for one that will support hardware virtualization and use qemu-kvm. I prefer kvm because of SELinux and sVirt that protects the host from VM breakout should a VM become hostile. In the meantime, I want to start work on a web project and want to use this idle machine and CentOS 6.0 in a VM. What I prototype and learn will eventually be moved to the production machine using kvm and sVirt. So...I downloaded and installed Virtualbox 4.x but haven't yet had the time to check it out. Any tips/tricks concerning it? Dave

What happened to 6.1
by Jerry Geis 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi gang - Love CentOS - you guys to a fabulous job. It has been a while since I saw any update... I went to twitter.com/centos nothing there, twitter.com/centos6 nothing there, went to the qa calendar stuff nothing there. Last I saw was something in September saying all RPM's are built and doing ISO's. Then nothing. I know the whole story about its ready when its ready and I'm all for that... Its simply I went looking today and saw no status and was wondering what happened. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. Thanks! jerry

CentOS 4 Dovecot Problem
by John Hinton 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

For those of you that still are running CentOS 4... I have one system that is still going... there is a problem with the newest release of Dovecot under mbox. Certain spam is causing this error when users try to log on. file lib.c: line 37 (nearest_power): assertion failed: (num <= ((size_t)1 << (BITS_IN_SIZE_T-1))) Rolling back to a previous release fixes these issues. I'm not bothering to file a bug with Redhat as the EOL is rapidly approaching and I just about have my one system's users moved to a new server. I have not as of yet seen this problem on CentOS 5 mbox systems, but I don't have many users on those systems either as I'm 'slowly' migrating all to CentOS 6 Maildir systems. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

NSS ldap problems
by Mitch Patenaude 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

I'm having trouble setting up ldap based authenication. I have a virtual (KVM) CentOS 5.4 box set up to authenticate to a 389 (fedora) directory server, and that works fine. However, I set up a virtual box running CentOS 6, and I can't get it to authenicate. I've run authconfig with the appropriate flags, ldapsearch properly finds the data, but I can't log in. /var/log/secure shows that it doesn't find the user, and as a test I came up with the following perl snippet: perl -e 'print join(" ",getpwnam("testuser")),"\n";' And it properly finds the test user on the 5.4 box, but not the 6.0 box. I've checked /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and both seem about right. Here are the ldap related packaged installed on the 6.0 box: [root@vburntest02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ldap openldap-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64 pam_ldap-185-5.el6.x86_64 nss-pam-ldapd-0.7.5-3.el6.x86_64 openldap-clients-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64 apr-util-ldap-1.3.9-3.el6.x86_64 Any idea what to check next?

Duplicated packages in CR repo?
by Patrick Hurrelmann 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hi all, during upgrades of my systems via spacewalk and the continuous release repository, I encountered a problem with the rsyslog packages. It seems that the last update was build twice. Once with a correct name and once with a broken one (missing dot in the name before el6). On CR-repo mirrors: rsyslog-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gnutls-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gnutls-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gssapi-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-gssapi-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-mysql-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-mysql-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-pgsql-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-pgsql-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-relp-4.6.2-3.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 rsyslog-relp-4.6.2-3el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm 19-Oct-2011 13:04 The same is true for several other packages uploaded to CR repo on 19-Oct-2011: - corosync - xorg-x11-server Corosync also exists with a correct name in the repo, but xorg-x11-server does not. Maybe someone can have a look on this or am I overreacting? I successfully fixed my broken updates by a manual downgrade followed by an update with the correctly named package. Best regards Patrick

ibm m1015 w/sandy bridge boot failure
by Matt Garman 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I have a server running CentOS 6.0. Last night I replaced the CPU and motherboard. Old hardware: Supermicro x8sil-f + x3440. New hardware: Supermicro x9scl+-f + E3-1230. This is a new Sandy Bridge Xeon. Everything else remained the same, including an IBM m1015 SAS HBA. This is just an IBM re-branded LSI 92xx-8i (9220-8i specifically I believe), which uses the LSI SAS2008 chipset and the megaraid_sas driver. It worked without any issue on the old motherboard/cpu. However, with the new motherboard/cpu, the system makes it through the BIOS POST without any issue. But about half-way through the kernel initialization, it basically locks up. It will sit there for several minutes, doing nothing, then start printing out error messages (I was unable to get a screenshot or take note of the errors). But if I take the m1015 card out, the system boots quickly and without issue, as it always has. I saw this post[1] on the forums, which suggested that Sandy Bridge really needs 6.1, which, for those of us using CentOS, we can only get sorta close to by using the continuous release. So I did a "yum install centos-release-cr ; yum update". I let everything install (there were no install errors or problems), and rebooted with the m1015 in back in the system, but the problem remains. So now I'm at a loss. Anyone have any thoughts?

openldap missing modules
by wessel van der aart 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hi List, I'm currently setting up an openldap server and included the following lines in my slapd.conf : modulepath /usr/lib/ldap moduleload back_hdb after finishing up my config and i run slaptest on it i get an error saying that the modulepath doesn't exist. I checked and it indeed isn't there , in fact i can find it anywhere on my system (centos 5.7). the packages i've installed through yum are openldap openldap-servers and openldap-client. does anyone know where to find this folder? or do i have to install some package to get this module? Thanks, Wessel

Are there going to be any CentOS 6 announcements made about bug fixes etc made to CentOS Announce mailing list ? CentOS 6 has been around for a while now, has many fixes available, yet I haven't seen a single announcement. Perhaps I am just not subscribed to the correct list . Ian

You suggestion for 'big' filesystem management Best Practice?
by Götz Reinicke 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hi, we plan to set up a big file storage for media files like uncompressed movies from student film projects, dvd images etc. It should be some sort of archive and will not bee accessed by more than may be 5 people at the same time. The iSCSI RAID we have is about 26TB netto and I'm again faced with the question: How many partitions, which filesystem, which mount options etc. For the User it would be the most simpel thing, to have one big filesystem she/he could fill with all the data and dont has to search e.g. on multiple volumes. On the other hand, if one big filesystem crashes or has do be checked it will destroy a lot of data or the check will take hours ... Any suggestions pro or cons are welcome! :-) My favourite for now is 3 to 4 filesystems with the default ext4 settings. (Redhat EL 5.7, may be soon 6.1) Thanks and best regards.

ps locking up
by James Shupe 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

I have a client running a CentOS 6.0 machine with cPanel. The machine is fully updated with both cPanel (RELEASE) and the OS. At first, I noticed that after cPanel's dcpumon ran (even once), applications that depend on ps lock up and iowait jumps to around 50%. Load averages start out around 20 when this happens and slowly crawl up into the hundreds. Aside from not being able to run commands like ps and some nrpe scripts, everything still seems to respond fine even with the insanely high load. We've had it online with customers hitting it with a load of 400 waiting for a convenient time to reboot, without complaints. Clarification: If you run ps, it kills your terminal session. dcpumon, ps, etc, will hang around and you can see them under top (top doesn't seem to be affected.) If you try to kill any of these, (-9, anything) they do not respond. They're indefinitely blocked. They begin producing "processes being blocked for more than 120 seconds errors" in the logs. The server runs for days between this happening without issues and it always seems to be related to dcpumon. I wrote a script that checks to see if dcpumon exists in crontab and remove it. The script runs every minute. cPanel's automatic updates tend to put it back every once in a while, and it's possible that updates ran and that dcpumon ran before my script could remove it. I see that it removed it last night (it logs removals) but don't know for sure if it ran. It probably did. It's currently running 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 and I am considering trying vanilla kernel build to see if that corrects the issues. The hardware is HP DL145G3, and we have several other (non-cPanel) servers that are identical running CentOS 6.0 without issue. Any ideas?

CentOS 5.7, evince
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

I believe I updated evince early this month on this one server. Since then I don't seem to be able to open a .pdf: 100% of the time, I get "unhandled mime type: files/allfiles". Has anyone seen anything like this? Note that this is when it's allegedly trying to open it. I've tried telling it what to open from the command line, and brought it up by itself, told it to open, pointed it to the correct directory, and clicked on the .pdf I want, and hit <open>, and *bang*, it doesn't like it. I've rm'd .local/share/mime/mime.cache and .gnome2/evince/ev-metadata.xml. straceing doesn't even show me the filename mentioned. mark

using KVM Virbr0 with bonded nics?
by Bob Hoffman 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Interested in bonding my 2 on board nics along with my add on card NIC for a total of 3. How would this work with the virtual machines? My eths/IPs ---> bond0, bond0:1, etc ---> ? ----> virbr0,virbr0:1 (each machine to have own IP address, one machine may have some virtual sites needing more than one ip, so multiple ips added to mix..) add something to the bond0 file, or just leave it alone and mess with the virbr0 files? I heard something about network manager not liking bonding and bridging... anyone do this kind of thing?

How to remove a Trash folder from a mounted ntfs partition
by James B. Byrne 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

CentOS-5.7 using fuse-ntfs-3g I have a HDD from a laptop that is being returned for repair replacement. I wish to remove certain files before sending the laptop back with the HDD. I have mouunted the HDD on my desktop as an ntfs filesystem using an external SATA / USB adapter. As root I then used the gnome desktop to move the desired files to trash. Now I wish to delete the contents of the trash folder and the folder itself. This I cannot do. I have tried deleting using rm -rf ./.Trash-root but the command simply has no effect. It raises no error and it does not remove the Directory or its contents. For convenience I renamed the directory to DeleteME using move, which worked. As expected through, all attempts to remove DeleteME still fail silently. The permission bits are set thus: dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 488 Oct 21 10:54 DeleteMe I have tried chmod -R 777 DeleteMe but this has no effect on the permissions. How do I get rid of this thing? I realize that after the trash directory is removed I will still have to over-write the unused space on the drive to scramble the contents but I cannot get to that stage until I free the space. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Netapp like snapshots using Centos 5/6 direct attached storage
by Scott McKenzie 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hello, I'm researching the best method of providing about 20 users in a production environment the same functionality as they would have on a Netapp NFS share. The O/S I will be using is CentOS 5 or 6 (max flex on which one) and the hardware is a disk array directly (12 SAS disks 7TB un-configured brand new) attached to a HP 580 G 7. I've done some reading on ZFS on Linux ,fuse-ZFS, BRTFS ,rsnapshot, snapFS. Any one have some advice or experiences to share? Thanks, spuds

by Giles Coochey 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hi All, I have two Centos 6 servers running BIND. I have configured the two servers to run internal zones as a master / slave setup. My gateway runs DNSmasq and I would like all other requests for lookups to be sent to the DNSmasq system. I have added the following: forward first; forwarders { 172.16.0.1; }; Where 172.16.0.1 is the host running DNSmasq. For some reason I still cannot resolve anything outside my network. Any pointers? Thanks Giles

Live CD boot for KVM guest. How?
by Müfit Eribol 21 Oct '11

Hi, My host and guest are CentOS 6. The guest is going to be a web server in production. I am trying to resize (extend) of the base partition of my guest. But I can of course start the installation of CentOS 6 guest all over again with a larger image size. However, just for the sake of better understanding I an trying to solve things not to be end up in a dead end after some years. 1. I created a guest CentOS 6 with 12G total disk (on a iscsi drive). No Desktop, just for terminal use. No LVM, just a simple basic partitioning. 2. Later I wanted to increase the size of total image to 200G. 3. I managed to resize the image to 200G on my iscsi drive. So, there is 188G unallocated/unformatted volume within the guest image. Now, the hardest part. I have to resize the partition. I have been trying to find a way to do that. A search on Google showed that GParted is tool to do that. I had to install all Desktop and X as Gparted is a GUI tool. Installed vncserver. Then, I found out that GParted can not resize the live guest. So, I downloaded GParted Live CD. Now, the questions: 1. If it was a physical machine I would boot from the CD. If I can boot it from host CDROM but then how should I operate on a specific guest? What is the easiest way to access GUI of the guest if I boot from Live CD. 2. I am wondering if a simple LVM route at the beginning would be preferred. Changing size of the iscsi volume on my NAS is easy. I thought there was no need for more complication, so went with basic /boot / and swap partitions. Is resizing partitions for LVM easier than basic partitioning (without LVM)? 3. Is there a specific tool in KVM suit which performs resizing partition within the image? Or as I prefer command line tools, is there a way to achieve resizing without any graphical tool like GParted? With GParted I had to install all the X and Gnome files, vncserver which otherwise I don't need. I would appreciate any information/hint/experience. All the best.

What replaces /sbin/hotplug in CentOS 5?
by Robert Heller 21 Oct '11

What subsystem replaces /sbin/hotplug in CentOS 5? The older hotplug package is missing from CentOS 5 and /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug yields an empty string. Since hotpluging for standard devices still seems to work, I presume that something replaces the hotplug helper found on CentOS 4. Can someone point me in the right place? All of my Googleing points me back to the (obsolete?) /sbin/hotplug subsystem (Google is just not being helpful!). I'm guessing udev and/or HAL are involved somehow, but I am having a hard time figuring out what I need to do. Specificly, I have a special USB device (a PI Engineering Rail Driver Console device) that I have written a daemon for that I need to launch when the device is plugged in and when the device is unplugged, the daemon needs to be killed. For CentOS 4, I used a script fired up from the /sbin/hotplug via /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap -- what to I use for CentOS 5 (and eventually CentOS 6)? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

Missing stuff in /bin
by Mikko Koivunen 21 Oct '11

Hi all Having a weird issue with CentOS 6. I lost a lot of stuff in /bin/ (cp,rpm,cat and others) on one host, but that was a development machine and I'm not really sure what happened there. But now I ran into a similar problem (missing at least /bin/vi and /bin/cp) on a host where I'm a lot more certain of all that has been done on the machine. This is what happened, it's a _complete_ list of what I have done on the host: - installed centos 6 from dvd .iso, into esxi 4.1 vm - selected "web server" as base packages in install - configured network interface - configured some variables in /etc/profile.d (with vi - note this later) - installed mysqld and some php packages - created a backup script in /etc/cron.daily (just does mysqldump and /var/www gzip'ing) - removed postgresql - put some data in mysql db + apache documentroot - ran yum update - tried to configure an apache virtualhost - noticed that vi is missing - noticed that /bin/cp is missing as well - coreutils & vim-minimal are installed according to rpm Yum.log shows that during the yum update vim-minimal was updated, coreutils not, no package removals visible. Can't see anything in dmesg, root's history, /var/log/secure, /var/log/messages that would explain this. No one else has access. I am certain I have not accidentally removed the files.. Anyone seen anything similar? I'm a bit hesitant to say it's a bug or claim that yum update is to blame, because then I'd think a lot of folks were bitten by similar problems. regards Mikko Koivunen
