Patched KVM RPMs (solves 'network shutdown under heavy load')
by Timo Schoeler 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi list, due to the necessity of having a patched KVM running, I build some new RPMs. However, only kmod-kvm-83-105.27.x86_64.rpm is important to replace the 'original' one as it's the only package that contains the patch. I didn't rename the packages, though, hopefully in order not to break the upgrade path provided to us. The patch adresses following problem: 'Fix a race condition where qemu finds that there are not enough virtio ring buffers available and the guest make more buffers available before qemu can enable notifications.' [0], the thread startet as 'network shutdown under heavy load' [1]. KVM already contains the fix (since February 19th, IIRC), CentOS' packages doesn't. The RPMs can be found here: http://www.riscworks.net/CentOS/KVM/fix-virt-io-ring-buffer-race/ Best, Timo [0] -- http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=126564542625725&w=2 [1] -- http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg26033.html

Publishing a webcam on a web page?
by Stephen Harris 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

This talk of cameras has reminded me of a problem I've not yet been able to solve. I have a Logitech Communicate STX ( ID 046d:08ad Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX ) This seems to work under v4l on CentOS 5.4. If I load xawtv (from rpmforge) then I can view the image from the camera. But what I'd like to be able to do is have the image appear on a web page (maybe streaming video or maybe multi-part image using old-fashioned server-push web technology from 1995 :-)). Anyone have any recommended tools for this? Thanks! -- rgds Stephen

Connect to MySQL monitor on another host in the LAN ?
by Niki Kovacs 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi, I'm running a medical application on a local network, using MySQL as a database. The application can also connect to remote hosts, so the idea is to install it on one machine acting as a "server", and then install it on the other machines on the LAN, but configure these to use the database on the "server". I guess before doing that, I'll better try and get comfortable with connecting remotely using the MySQL monitor itself, that is, without any application or some other frontend. Up until now, I've only configured MySQL in two situations. Either on standalone desktop workstations, or on a web server (LAMP). After installing MySQL (yum install mysql-server), the default setup has a few accounts without any password. First thing I usually do (correct me if this is wrong) is clean up these accounts and only keep one main root@localhost account. Something like this : [root@raymonde:~] # mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 Server version: 5.0.77 Source distribution Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> use mysql; Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Database changed mysql> select user, host, password from user; +------+-----------+----------+ | user | host | password | +------+-----------+----------+ | root | localhost | | | root | raymonde | | | root | 127.0.0.1 | | | | localhost | | | | raymonde | | +------+-----------+----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> delete from user where user = ''; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> delete from user where host = 'raymonde'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> delete from user where host = '127.0.0.1'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec) mysql> select user, host, password from user; +------+-----------+----------+ | user | host | password | +------+-----------+----------+ | root | localhost | | +------+-----------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> set password for root@localhost = password('********'); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> select user, host, password from user; +------+-----------+------------------+ | user | host | password | +------+-----------+------------------+ | root | localhost | 2d97271980b60f82 | +------+-----------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> quit; So much for the standalone setup. Now what would be an orthodox (and somewhat secure) configuration to be able to connect to this MySQL server on 'raymonde' from another machine in the LAN ? Do I have to (re)create a root@raymonde MySQL account and eventually give it the same password than root@localhost ? Cheers, Niki

Upgrading Python with Yum
by Susan Day 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi; I have an old version of Python (2.4.3) and I'm trying to upgrade (to 2.6); however, when I try yum upgrade python it tells me that it's already got the latest and greatest...presumably of 2.4.3. I've tried yum list python and it only gives me the 2.4.3. Are there no others? Do I have to build from a tarball? I'm surprised I don't find a version of Python 3 either. In what folder are the rpms kept? TIA, Susan

how to push the bounds and get newer packages for centos 5.4?
by Robert P. J. Day 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

i've just started looking after a (virtual) centos 5.4 server that's hosted at rackspace and, unsurprisingly, it was set up with all the standard defaults. part of the work i'll be doing involves php and, as i read it, the standard php version with centos 5.4 is php-5.1. if i *wanted* to move up to a more recent version (say, php-5.3), obviously, i'd need to go outside the limits of the standard centos yum repos. in my travels, i ran across this site: http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en with the corresponding instructions: wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.r… wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm i'm suitably leery of 3rd-party repos but i recall that someone else (on this list?) recommended that site. and i can see that it has an x86_64 version of php-5.3 ready to go for centos 5.4: http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5/remi/x86_64/repoview/php.html what are the recommendations for well-respected 3rd-party repos for centos 5.4 if i want to get newer packages? the centos 5.4 system in question is purely an internal development system so i have the freedom to customize it to some extent if newer packages are called for. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Mounting a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Hard Drive
by Keith Beeby 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, I need to migrate about 8Tb of data from a Mac Fibre Channel RAID to by LVM Ext3 Linux Fibre Channel RAID. For speed I planned to connect both RAID's to my CentOS Server and copy the data directly. The Mac volume is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) it seems that CentOS 5.4 supports reading HFS volumes but not HFSPlus volumes. Is there a way of getting this volume to mount so I can copy of the data? I see Fedora has HFSPlus support Thanks Keith

Re: [CentOS] Looking for experiences with filesystem choices....
by Tom Bishop 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

So I tried XFS last night and it cut my copy times down substantially, so I need someone to verify that XFS in centos 5.4 has barriers enabled by default, I am not using LVM just the old fashion partitions and mount points. It appears that reading from the centos wiki that xfs is enabled in the kernel due to upstream vendor doing so for the first timeI loaded up xfsprogs and xfsdump but it was not clear about the barrier details....

sendmail sending out on port 587
by Gregory P. Ennis 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Dear List, I recently spent some time out of the USA, and found myself in a hotel that blocked port 25 which prevented my laptop's ability to connect to my office mail server. I did a scan on the internet and made the observation that this was a common problem. I had port 22 available so I was able to get my office server set up to accept mail on 25 and 587 without difficulty. The command "telnet mail.server.com 587" to my office mail server connects without difficulty. However, I have not been able to get sendmail on my laptop to connect to sendmail on my mail server at home using port 587. I have added the following to sendmail.mc on my laptop without success : define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587') define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587') I finally made it back home, but have decided to change my configuration to use 587 by default so that this problem will be avoided, but I have been unable to get my laptop to connect. Anyone having ideas would be appreciated. Greg Ennis

how does the bootup screen move the cursor around?
by Frank Cox 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

While rebooting my computer after installing the new kernel a few minutes ago, I got to wondering about how the initial bootup screen (after grub, before rhgb) is constructed. The "Loading kernel blah blah blah" lines start at the top of the screen and proceed to scroll down as one would expect. But "kernel alive" shows up at the bottom of the screen and then more write-up is printed above it. My question is, how does that happen? Does it write its own esc codes directly to the screen? If so, how does it know what terminal we're using and, therefore, what esc codes to send? Further into the boot sequence something like ncurses could do the heavy lifting, but I don't think we're that far along yet. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Looking for experiences with filesystem choices....
by Tom Bishop 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Lots of opinions out there and I have read and read, so I have a home server that I have finally setup with a hot swap hdd cage and what I am planning on doing is copying my data drive every other day and rotating them offsite, haven't figured out how often though. So I did my first test last night and the backup drive was formatted with ext3 but looking to try to speed things up and was wondering what would be my best choice. Most of my data is on VM's and the hdd files on some of them are quite large, I have used JFS and reiser in the past and was leaning on going with JFS but am tempted to look at XFS. So what I was wondering are what are folks experiences (instead of opinions) with different filesystems and while I want speed it needs to be reliable since it will be my back up data....running centos 5.4 x64 Thanks in advance...

How to add virtio modules automatically to initrd in CentOS4?
by Felix Schwarz 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi, I migrated a physical CentOS 4.8 server into a VM on a CentOS 5 KVM host. Everything works fine, I even can use the paravirt drivers for network and disk. However the required kernel modules are not put into initrd somehow. Of course I can call "mkinitrd --with virtioblk ..." manually but that's too easy to forget. I searched the web but I didn't find any similar reports... I found some references to /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd/ but this doesn't work for me. So how can I make sure that the initrd always includes the virtio stuff? fs

Multipath and iSCSI Targets

Add default quirk to pm-utils (CentOS 5.4)
by Martin Jungowski 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

I've installed CentOS 5.4 on my new Lenovo Ideapad S12 (Atom-based 12" notebook) and need to add a quirk to pm-suspend in order for the laptop to actually go to sleep. There's a couple of quirks that work just fine so I really don't have a preference. I found several instructions but most of them have failed me because CentOS's pm-utils is too ancient. Newer versions come with a parameter that adds the quirk to hald automatically, the CentOS version of pm-utils does not have this function yet. I've tried adding a /etc/pm/ config.d/99local config file with DISPLAY_QUIRK_VBE_POST="true" and a /etc/ hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi manually to no avail: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>   <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_on" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_suspend" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore" type="bool">false</ merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">false</ merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vga_mode_3" type="bool">false</merge> </device> </deviceinfo> But nothing seems to work. Running pm-suspend does not do anything, running pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post puts the Laptop to sleep. Any ideas?

[OT] Small touch screens that works with CentOS
by Pascal Robert 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi, We want to display on a small LCD screen next to our meeting rooms and optionally let people book the room from the panel. We looked at different providers and those solutions either works with Exchange or Lotus Notes... Since I already have code to fetch events from any CalDAV/WebDSV servers, I'm looking at building the system myself. So I'm wondering if any of you can recommend small LCD screen that works well with Linux (the app would be a full screen Web app, browser have to be Gecko or WebKit based), and even better if the screen can have « touch buttons » (so that people don't have to use a physical keyboard to book the room), that's even better. I guess my other option would be a iPad. -- Pascal Robert probert(a)macti.ca AIM/iChat : MacTICanada LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/macti Twitter : MacTICanada

How to disable selinux protection interfering with pppd? I tried audit2allow, but policy does not load. Is there an seboolean?
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

CentOS release 5.4 (Final) I run pppd on this system, it accepts dial-in connections, logs people in over ssh/sftp. I had selinux disabled on this system originally, but I recently enabled it, and selinux is blocking this pppd service. "audit2allow -M" has generated the following policy based on AVC denial messages: module fixdialinserver 1.0; require { type pppd_t; type shadow_t; type chkpwd_exec_t; class file { read execute }; class netlink_audit_socket create; } #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t chkpwd_exec_t:file execute; allow pppd_t self:netlink_audit_socket create; allow pppd_t shadow_t:file read; However, I am unable to load this module due to conflict with another policy: # semodule -i fixdialinserver.pp libsepol.check_assertion_helper: assertion on line 0 violated by allow pppd_t shadow_t:file { read }; libsepol.check_assertions: 1 assertion violations occured libsemanage.semanage_expand_sandbox: Expand module failed semodule: Failed! # Is there an seboolean I can tweak to allow me to load this policy? Thanks, Aleksey

cannot start or stop apache due to ssl changes
by testwreq wreq 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Apache was working with self signed certificate. We changed the ssl.conf file to read certicates from godaddy and it it failed to restart because of incorrecrt parphrase. bash-3.2# /sbin/service httpd restart Stopping httpd: [ OK ] Starting httpd: Apache/2.2.3 mod_ssl/2.2.3 (Pass Phrase Dialog) Some of your private key files are encrypted for security reasons. In order to read them you have to provide the pass phrases. Server tt.cs.sb.edu:443 (RSA) Enter pass phrase: Apache:mod_ssl:Error: Private key not found. **Stopped I then put the original ssl.conf back (saved the ssl file with go daddy changes to ssl_gd.conf) but could not stop or start apache and this was the error /sbin/service httpd start Starting httpd: [Thu Mar 18 09:10:32 2010] [warn] module ssl_module is already loaded, skipping [Thu Mar 18 09:10:32 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:443 has no VirtualHosts (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs I re-generated the self signed certificate keys and restarted the server. /sbin/service httpd start is looking for ssl_gd.conf and NOT SSL.CONF; Don't know how this happened?

MySQL max clustering package?
by jchase 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Can anyone tell me what the scoop is on this? I read that CentOS was releasing the enterprise/cluster capable MySQL in the CentOS-Plus repo's but I don't see it there. I don't want to use the mysql.com packages (if they are even available -- didn't they stop supplying the binaries for this to the public)? I'm trying to setup failover, load balancing clustering of MySQL.I'm a bit confused on what the current story is for doing this. Thanks, James

cron.hourly runs twice
by Timothy Murphy 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

For some reason I cannot fathom, cron.hourly runs twice each hour on one of my two CentOS-5.4 systems, as reported in /var/log/cron: ------------------------- Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27833]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27834]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) ------------------------- On the other it just runs once, as expected. ------------------------- Mar 16 13:01:01 althea crond[23373]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 14:01:01 althea crond[23553]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 15:01:01 althea crond[23695]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) ------------------------- This doesn't have any bad effect, but it does run the scripts in /etc/cron.hourly twice. I just wonder if anyone has come across this curiosity? Or can suggest any possible cause. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Back to apcupsd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Ok, so another apc UPS 3000 complained about bad batteries, and I changed them out from the same order that I'd gotten in a couple of months ago. The APC SmartUPS 3000 started connecting and disconnecting the USB connection. I brought down and up the service, no joy. Finally, after googling, I found a *completely* undocumented way to start apcupsd, that a few years ago someone was told to try, so as to log debugging info, to send to a developer: apcupsd -d1000 -T I've just skimmed the man page, and the online docs, and there is *no* mention of either parm. I found nothing in the logs. However, when I kill -HUPped it, and restarted the service, the USB stuff had stopped. Ok, one problem down. The change battery light's still on. I'll see if it still is in the morning. One thing I did note, while skimming the docs, and comparing my results from apcaccess, was that while the nominal voltage for the APC SmartUPS 3000 is 48V, the new batteries are showing 55.4V. Anyone have any idea if this could be why the replace battery light's on - it's more than 5V difference? mark

I would use iostat -x and see if there is a disk or group of disks that show abnormal service times and/or utilization. Are there any errors in the logs? How are the disks configured? Software raid? Is the adapter's firmware at the latest revision? Was .128 kernel running stock drivers?Is .164 kernel running stock drivers? (maybe weak-updates from .128 kernel?) What IO scheduler is this? Default CFQ? I would move this discussion to 'CentOS Users' as that is the more appropriate list for this. -Ross

APIC error on Intel Atom CPU, CentOS 5.x
by Bill Campbell 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

I am seeing ``APIC error on CPU3: 60(60)'' warnings from dmesg periodically on a CentOS 5.4 box, kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5. The CPU is an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz. I am not a hardware type, and don't have a clue what this means. This is occurring while an rsync-3.0.4 process is receiving data sent by a machine running rsync-3.0.7 (I just updated the CentOS box to rsync-3.0.7 since noticing that it was a bit dated). This is the only significant load on this machine at this time. This machine has locked up requiring a hard reset twice while this rsync process has been running at night with no problems at other times. Any suggestions? Thanks.

CPU Upgrade
by Kevin Kempter 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hi all; I have a Dell 2900 with a single Quad core chip and an expansion slot for a second Quad core chip. I have CentOS 5.4 installed on the server now. If I add the second Quad core chip do I need to change anything per the install? Do I have to re-install the OS? Or will CentOS simply see the second chip once I reboot and just work? Thanks in advance

fuse filesystem mount issue
by fred smith 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hi! I'm using the ntfs-3g module for my portable USB hard drive on Centos 5.4. When I plug it into my centos box it mounts fine, but its owned by root and nobody but root has permission to write to it. I've been perusing the ntfs-3g and fuse man pages (and other docs) and they all seem to say that the default settings should be to allow RW access to everyone. but that isn't what I'm getting. Mount says this: /dev/sdd1 on /media/SeagateUSB type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) but right-click/properties on the desktop icon shows no write permission if yer not root: onwer: root, group: root, and all the "folder access" lines are greyed out. How would one approach solving this problem?

Unable to remove interface (5.4)
by Jason Gates 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So here is my problem: I'm unable to remove an interface on CentOS 5.4 (/etc/init.d/network restart keeps enabling it again) Background: The system had several interfaces set (eth0 eth0.6 eth0.7 eth0.8) 1.) I added a test interface...eth0.9 2.) but later deleted the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.9 file (since i no longer needed it) 3.) I then did ifconfig eth0.9 down 4.) I then setup eth0.7 with the same IP address settings that eth0.9 had. 5.) Upon a restart of /etc/init.d/network all the interfaces come up including eth0.9 This obviously causes a problem...are there any recommendations how to remove this "deleted" interface? Many thanks! Side note: rebooting the computer isn't an option. - -Jason -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkuf6LoACgkQ3BaZWzk6Q2eVugCg1gi6W19J9F2UTKyA+3nPVWqk evwAniLKv2Vx4qZI7ITZC4wZ+AJ2Vj5A =Mvtr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Whether need to run CentOS Certification test suite to get the CentOS logo
by zhang hualan 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Howdy, I have searched related information on the CentOS website, and only get the answer "Except for CentOS CD/DVD ISOs, you may not use CentOS logos on merchandise without an individual agreement with the CentOS Project.We need to approve the use of the logos and will require that you donate a percentage of your total sales on items using the CentOS logos in this manner". But I'm still not sure whether CentOS have certification test suite and we need to run it first, such as we can get Redhat "hardware certified logo" if we pass the RedHat Certification test suite,eg V7. Thanks for your attention Donna

How can I access a ZIP file that's over 2Gb?
by Stephen Harris 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

I have a zip file. It is over 2Gb in size: -rw-r--r-- 1 sweh sweh 2383956582 Mar 13 13:44 test.zip The standard "unzip" program barfs: % unzip -l test.zip Archive: test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of test.zip or test.zip.zip, and cannot find test.zip.ZIP, period. This is because the info-zip utilities can't handle ZIP files over 2Gb in size. Windows can access it just fine. Anyone have any recommendations on a unix tool that'll let me access these large files? -- rgds Stephen

mailman and postfix on CentOS
by David Mehler 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hello, I'm trying to get postfix and mailman going on CentOS 5.4. I had this working previously, six to eight months ago, and shut it down since the need for use was no longer there. I've now reactivated mailman and set up a list. The software versions I'm using are httpd 2.2.14, postfix 2.3.3, and mailman 2.1.9. All the services are started, the list is created, and email is sent to the list owner. The problem is reply addresses for subscriptions are being sent to mailman(a)domain.com rather than mailman(a)lists.domain.com as i want. In the email all the email addresses point to mailman(a)lists.domain.com except for the reply to header that goes to as i said mailman(a)domain.com. The lists.domain.com is a subdomain dedicated to the mailing list.The mailman newlist command correctly creates list aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases file. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave.
