Tru, looks like a bug in centos, I just loaded RHEL 6 without any issues. I dont think it has something to do with the actual image file, but in any case maybe I should re-download the entire DVD again just to make sure. Thank you Tru. >>> Tru Huynh 12/17/10 6:47 PM >>> On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 06:23:52PM -0500, Lisandro Grullon wrote: > Dear centos community, > I was in the process of loading the latest 5.5 release of centos in a VMWARE ESX 4.1 host as my first virtual machine, suddenly while booting I got a panic error with the following on screen.

Tru, you nailed it right. I will load Ubuntu and Debian and will report back, this may be a bug in the loading process. I did install this system with Centos by itself and it load ok, but the virtual machine its not loading and it just keep crashing with the same error as the bug you provided/posted. Maybe someone can shine some light on this. Thank you. >>> Tru Huynh 12/17/10 6:47 PM >>> On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 06:23:52PM -0500, Lisandro Grullon wrote: > Dear centos community, > I was in the process of loading the latest 5.5 release of centos in a VMWARE ESX 4.1 host as my first virtual machine, suddenly while booting I got a panic error with the following on screen.

Dear centos community, I was in the process of loading the latest 5.5 release of centos in a VMWARE ESX 4.1 host as my first virtual machine, suddenly while booting I got a panic error with the following on screen. Can someone point me in the right direction. This machine has 24 cores and I allocated 1 for Centos to use with 1024MB of memory. Any clues or workaround to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

Stripping silent periods from MP3s
by Keith Roberts 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

I'm on Centos 5.5, and would like to use sox to strip out any periods of silence > 5 seconds from a batch mp3 audio files. Googling I found sox, but it does not seem to support mp3 files by default. The man page says: .mp3 MP3 Compressed Audio MP3 audio files come from the MPEG standards for audio and video compression. They are a lossy compression format that achieves good compression rates with a mini- mum amount of quality loss. Also see Ogg Vorbis for a similar format. MP3 support in SoX is optional and requires access to either or both the external libmad and libmp3lame libraries. To see if there is support for Mp3 run sox -h and look for it under the list of supported file formats as "mp3". libmad is installed: Installed Packages Name : libmad Arch : i386 Version : 0.15.1b Release : 4.el5.rf Size : 138 k Repo : installed Summary : MPEG audio decoding library URL : http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/ License : GPL Description: MAD (libmad) is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently : supports MPEG-1 and the MPEG-2 extension to Lower Sampling : Frequencies, as well as the so-called MPEG 2.5 format. All three : audio layers (Layer I, Layer II, and Layer III a.k.a. MP3) are fully : implemented. : : MAD does not yet support MPEG-2 multichannel audio (although it : should be backward compatible with such streams) nor does it : currently support AAC. SoX is installed: Name : sox Arch : i386 Version : 12.18.1 Release : 1.el5_5.1 Size : 659 k Repo : installed Summary : A general purpose sound file conversion tool.

Any suggestions how to tell SoX to use the mp3 format I need please? Or are there any other programs that can be used to strip silent periods from MP3's? Using Audacity to manually edit each sound file is definately NOT and option. Kind Regards, Keith Roberts -- In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not.

/dev/null permission changes figured out
by Joe Pruett 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

a while back i reported an issue where /dev/null was getting set to 600 perms after a system update. i finally figured out what it is. i don't care about failed logins and have limited space on some servers, so i symlinked /var/log/btmp to /dev/null. the initscripts package does a chmod 600 /var/log/btmp, so voila /dev/null gets changed. so now i know why it happened just to me. i now need to figure out a better way to deal with btmp. any ideas from the list?

Remote firefox configuration
by Marko Vojinovic 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi everyone! :-) I need to change some firefox configuration settings on a remote machine (running an up-to-date CentOS 5), using nothing but ssh for access (ie. no ssh -X or such, the link is too slow). The setting that I need to reconfigure is the one about what to open on startup --- in a GUI it is reached as Edit -> Preferences -> General tab -> "When Firefox starts". It should be changed from "show my windows and tabs from last time" to "show a blank page". Can anyone point me to a config file which should be modified? :-) The whole problem appeared when the user managed to open more-than-a-reasonable-number of tabs (around a hundred or so, I guess), so now when he starts Firefox it opens and freezes completely due to the load, lack of memory or whatever. The main window is completely unresponsive, nothing happens when he clicks on the "edit" menu to get to preferences (the menu does not open at all). Nothing even happens if he tries to close a tab, or even the whole program. The only thing that works is "killall firefox" from the terminal. So I guess the above option would reset Firefox to a sane state, but I need to reconfigure it manually (and remotely :-( ), in the config file, while firefox is not running. I am open to any suggestions. :-) Thanks! :-) Marko

Samba, id, uid, Active Directory and CentOS 5
by Scott Ehrlich 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

I have some CentOS 5 systems that are part of an Active Directory Windows 2003 domain (using natively configured files - not likewise open). getent passwd my_account reveals uid and gid are both 10000:10000. Thus, typing: % id reveals a uid of 10000. /etc/passwd does NOT have my local account created - credentials are strictly from the Active Directory domain. The username is of the format se123456. I want my uid to be of the format 123456 (numeric part of the username. I have looked at many options for smb.conf configurations. At this point, I'm starting to believe that if getent passwd provides 10000:10000 fior uid/gid then id is providing the correct details. My SID from the domain controller is correct when queried from CentOS. usermod will not work to change the id since there is no entry in /etc/passwd. Might a shell script of some kind help convert my uid from 10000 to 123456? It should not be static calculation, since anyone logging in to that system should have their id equal the numeric portion of their username, and the numeric part may be a smaller value than 10000. The numeric part of the username matches no part of the SID from Windows. Thanks. Scott

RAID help
by Jason T. Slack-Moehrle 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Hi All, I have a new system with 2 Seagate 1TB SATA Enterprise level drives in it. I want to RAID1 (mirror) these drives. This machine will be a web-server in my apartment hosting an HTML video fan site I am creating. Apache, MySQL, PHP etc. This site will easily be 300+ gigs with all the versions of each video, the MySQL won't be huge, but will grow as data for each video is added (i.e location on the server, keyframe name, etc) I am a bit confused by: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-raid-config.html So if I simplify, I must: 1. Create a software raid partition on each drive 2. Create a RAID 1 out of that partition and use a mount point of /boot 3. Create other mount points I might want i.e swap, /home, etc 4. Create RAID1 out of these partitions 5. rinse and repeat this for each mount point I want A few questions: 1. This system support 16gb of RAM. I have 9gb in it, but I will max it out over the next few months as I find great deals on RAM, what should my SWAP space be? I recall a long while ago that SWAP should match physical RAM. 2. Any reason I can't just create a single mount point taking up the entire drive and RAID1 the entire thing? Can anyone recommend some ideal mount points and sizes? 3. What should I account for if my /var/www/html will be very large? Best, -Jason

Dear centos community, I was in the process of installing centos in a machine however during the install the OS is unable to see the controller "MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e", i noticed that LSI has some drivers for centos. Can someone guide me on how to load the drivers so the OS can see the controller as it loads. Thank you in advance. Lisandro

Replacing disk in RAID array with bigger disk?
by Kai Schaetzl 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

I have to replace a disk in a RAID-1 array (LSI 1068 controller in an HP DL320 G3) and I assume it shouldn't be a problem if I use a bigger one? (going from 500 MB to 1 GB) The controller should just be able to build the same 500 MB disk as it did before, right? Now, if in a next step I replace the other, still smaller disk with a 1 GB disk, too, will the controller be able to build a 1 GB disk from that? If so, will the existing LVM setup be able to utilize that extra space or will it be stuck at the original 500 MB? I've never done this before, so I have no idea if this should work or not. Thanks. Also thanks for any other comments regarding the replacement process. Kai

what is device dm-2?
by Kai Schaetzl 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

According to some searches and the LVM documentation on centos.org a "dmsetup ls" should give me more info. But it doesn't list devices with dm- numbers. Only like so: lv-name (major, minor) The minor numbers seem to be the same numbers that I can see as dm- numbers in an iostat. Is this by chance the dm- number, so that minor 2 would be dm-2?

BIND and latest update (max open files WARNING)
by Jorge Fábregas 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi all, After the latest security update for bind (which came out last night), now there's a new message on syslog, (facility: daemon, severity: warning) every time you restart named: max open files (1024) is smaller than max sockets (4096) After googling for a while the solution seems to be to add this to /etc/security/limits.conf: named soft nofile 4096 ...and mofity /etc/named.conf in order to add, under the options section: files 4096; That seems to work. Of course, you may raise the 4096 but I guess that's the default in BIND and I was good with that. I'm not sure why this happend. Maybe before the update bind had a value of 1024 for max.sockets and now it was raised to 4096. -- Jorge

Smart cards, mostly solved
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

So, it *seems* to be working, pretty much. I needed to install opensc, openct pcsc-lite, pcsc-lite-openct, and ctapi-common will be installed as a dependency. I *removed* coolkey and esc, which depended on it. 100% of the time, they misidentifed the new/current US federal ID PIV-II cards as coolkey cards, and popped up this "phone home" window, then a "manage smartcards" window. Without them, I also don't see an icon in the taskbar... but using ssh-add (actually, my manager built openssh, opensc and openct from current source, 5.4? 5.5?, and renamed stuff to piv-....), so I do piv-ssh-add -s opensc-pkcs11.so, and it adds the card. Before you do that... configure /etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf so that # Filename of the PKCS #11 module. The default value is "default" use_pkcs11_module = opensc; and you may have to decide on a mapper. Then restart pcscd, and you should be good to go. At any rate, no wrong/confusing windows, and logins work. I do note that if I try to use my regular password, I need to pull my card out of the reader. On a related note, from WinDoze, there's a version of putty that works <http://www.risacher.org/putty-cac/putty-cac-experimental/windows/?C=N;O=D>. Once installed, when you bring up the putty window, click on expand ssh, then click on pkcs. The one thing needed is the right dll, which, if you're running a 64 bit system, and using, say, ActivIdentity, c:\Program Files (x86)\ActivIdentity\ActivClient\acpkcs211.dll MAKE SURE you get the right .dll; if you're running 32 bit, it will be the other one. mark

Rsyslog weirdness
by Jussi Hirvi 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

I just noticed that on one CentOS 5 server the logs messages, maillog and a couple of others have been blank for a couple of weeks! I tracked down the error to /etc/sysconfig/rsyslogd There was a line SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-c3" I googled that -c3 defines the "version" or "compatibility mode", and with 3 it means "rsyslog v3 native interface". When I removed the option and restarted rsyslogd, the logging began to work again. I wonder why is this. Probably this was caused by my recent system updates (yum update). - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi(a)greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi

No. It's not. CentOS lacks a number of the clustering features available to RHEL, which are burdened by non-open-source licenses or patents. RHEL is also investing considerable money in development, which is helpful to support, especially if you need bleeding edge drivers (as someone just needed here for a new SAS controller), and for which you'd have to hope Google has an answer or you find someone like, well, *me* to bundle you a new version nad fix it for you. CentOS is also much, much faster to update once the updates are published, and to use OS image building tools like "mock", because of the distributed source repository rather than the burdensome DRM involved in the RHN registration tools. CentOS also publishes kernels with NTFS and similar support that RHEL has been leery of. > So, the price of RedHat is money, the price for CentOS is patience. > The product sold by RedHat is support, the product 'sold by' CentOS is > self-support. > The relative value of the two arises from your ability to support your > systems.

how to install CentOS onto a USB flash drive from Windows?
by Rudi Ahlers 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi all, Can anyone please point me to a link with instructions on how to install CentOS 5 onto a USB flash drive, preferably from Windows? I would like to create a full running CentOS installation (with minimal packages obviously) that runs off a USB flash drive, and I don't have a Linux machine to use for this installation right now. The best I could find is this one: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-centos-5-live-install-via-windows/ but it seems this is just creating a Live CD on a USB drive, not plain CentOS. i.e. I want to install CentOS, setup users, install selected packages, etc. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Issues with CentOS in enterprise
by Zdenek 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hello all. Does anybody have experience with pushing CentOS in enterprise? I have the following situation. I tried to promote CentOS to local bank. They have now a couple of Gentoo-based systems and I tried to explain them that CentOS is much better option for enterprises. IT department is interested in stability of the system, so they are ready to give CentOS a try. But the problem came from management and information security division. That guys look much affected by FUD created by M$. They tell the story like "you can not rely on this open source, it is built by just few community geeks, you never know what will happen if the developer will be hit by bus tomorrow" and so on. They especially refer to the last year FUD story published at ZDNet (http://goo.gl/y0LBi) So, IT guys are allowed to use open source only if they can prove that it has stable community and transparent development and build process they can reproduce on their own if necessary. I guess, I'm not the first who encounter this issue. Could you share your experience how to deal with it? Are there any public resources that can be used as proofs of CentOS stability? -- Zdenek

Timo, Its interesting, I am presently attending a conference in NYC and in one of the tables I saw the redhat vendor. My first question to them was " What do you think about centos", they reply "You are using a distribution without support and that is prompt to failure..." I don't think this is an accurate statement is it? Anyway to make the story short, they keep telling how bad centos is for our datacenter and that I should consider adopting redhat which is more "robust", offers "virtualization" and nearly real-time support for its customers. I didn't go the extra mile to ask for pricing but would appreciate your input about what they said about centos.

Issues with stat() call on CentOS5 vs CentOS4
by Dougal Ballantyne 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Dear CentOS, I have recently upgraded several servers from CentOS4 to CentOS5 and I am noticing a strange change to the stat() call. I have written a very small program to test and show the behavior. I am calling stat() against a file which is exported from my NAS and mounted with 32k read/write sizes. [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ cat my_stat.c #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { if(argc != 2) return 1; struct stat fileStat; if(stat(argv[1],&fileStat) < 0) return 1; printf("Block size: \t\t%d\n",fileStat.st_blksize); return 0; } [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ gcc -o my_stat.exe my_stat.c [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ ./my_stat.exe /mnt/nas/testfile Block size: 32768 [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.7 (Final) [dougalb@centos4 tmp]$ [dougalb@centos5 tmp]$ ./my_stat.exe /mnt/nas/testfile Block size: 4096 [dougalb@centos5 tmp]$ [dougalb@centos5 tmp]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.5 (Final) [dougalb@centos5 tmp]$ On CentOS5 it is reporting 4k block sizes when it should report 32k. Has anyone seen this or aware of what is causing this change in behavior? Kind regards, Dougal

Specifying 2 LDAP Server for auth
by Nicolas Ross 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi ! We are planing on deploying an ldap master and replica to serve as our new authentication server for our soon to be RedHat cluster. But, we need to be able to function if the master is down for whatever reason. So, I tried to specify 2 servers in the setup-authentification servername section, separated by a comma, but it doesn't seem to work. So, is it possible to specifying 2 ldap servers in the config ? If a ldap server goes down, what are the fall-back for authentification ? I have check "cache information", but in my tests, if the ldap server is down, pretty much nothing works correctly. Regards,

Please see here how my emails were posted blank. http://fossplanet.com/f11/%5Bcentos%5D-stripping-silent-periods-mp3s-85190/ Did they appear empty to others on the list? I'm trying to figure out the problem with my hosting provider right now. Since turning SpamAssasin off, I seem to be geting my mail again. To soon to say whether SA was at fault. I doubt it.

What NAS device(s) do you use? And why?
by Rudi Ahlers 13 Dec '10

If you use any NAS (or a SAN) devices, what do you use? And I'm referring more to larger scale network storage than your home PC or home theater system. We've had very good experiences with our NetGear ReadyNAS devices but I'm in the market for something new. The NetGear's aren't the cheapest ones around but they do what it says on the box. My only real gripe with them is the lack of decent scalability. TheCus devices seems to be rather powerful as well, and you can stack upto 5 units together. But that's where the line stops. I'm now looking for something that could scale beyond 100TB on one device (not necessarily one unit though) and find it frustrating that most NAS's come in 1U or 2U at most. Maybe I'm just not shopping around enough, or maybe I prefer to well known brands, I don't know. So, what do you use? How well does it work for you? And, how reliable / fast / scalable is it? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
