Hi All, I ran yum upgrade today and it went fine. I tried a yum upgrade php so that I could get to either 5.2 or 5.3 (currently 5.1.2) and It says nothing marked for upgrade. How does one upgrade individual packages versus doing a plain system upgrade (like just yum upgrade) -Jason

by Niki Kovacs 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi, In my GNOME System menu (in French) there are basically the following options : - Lock screen - Hibernate - Close session - Shut down Is there any way to disable the "Hibernate" option ? In the past, I've accidentally clicked on it, which put the computer to sleep, only it refused to wake up after that. Maybe some package to uninstall ? But which one ? Cheers, Niki

A problem about upgrade centos5.2
by 王行焘 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

hi, i made a mistake that i used centos5.4 i686 to upgrade the centos 5.2 x86_64,which runs on a server whose cpu is Xeon.The server seems to need CentOS X86_64 version. Should i use the　CentOS 5.4 X86_64 disk to upgrade the CentOS 5.4 i 686? Ps.I urgently need to upgrade it because the glibc x86_64 conflicts with the i686 one....It drives me crazy and i am hitting my head against the wall... Should that work well?Should i try that？Please help to let me move on with my life.... Thanks very much! -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Best wishes from WANG Xing-tao Management Information and Information System BeijingJiaotongUniversity 北京交通大学经济管理学院信息管理与信息系统王行焘

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I just did my daily news scan and saw some screenshots that illustrate the press release [0] announcing the first collisions at the LHC. Those screenshots show windows and buttons that exactly match my CentOS GNOME Desktop [1]. AFAIK, SuSE/Novell has different skins, as has (Open)Solaris and AIX, for instance.

Does anyone else have one of these on 24/7 running RHEL 5.4 or Centos 5.4 ?? That box mysteriously stops ( no crash data, it just stops) hours or days after boot, with or without X. Cntl-Alt-Delete reboots it without power cycling. The usual diagnostics (memtest and fsck) return no errors. Works great until it freezes. No evidence of kernel oops anywhere. If others report the same issues we will scrap the board. Otherwise I will continue to investigate what is happening, since it is no fun to pull the board out and replace with an atom processor and it is not critical. The hard disk in it came from an Athlon M board that died an untimely death this week. Service cpufreq reports "unavailable" so I am assuming that it is turned off. Could the cpu freqquency control be doing something without tellling us? We havea power monitor on it so I can discern if it dies with max cpu activity or not. Also I am leaving it run "top" without screensaver so I can see if a particular load or program is borking it. Am I missing something obvious here? TIA. benm

bash variable expansion moment
by ken 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

It's half a nice Saturday later and many attempts have brought no satisfaction. Maybe this can't be done. I'm trying to write a function which, when called from one function execute in another. In itself, that's not the problem. Rather, there's one built-in variable which is evaluated in the function definition and it's value is then set (too early). Here's the one file (func-file): ------------------------- Line() { echo This is line "$LINENO" $@ } ------------------------- That one is called by this one: ------------------------- #!/bin/bash . ./func-file Line ... it should be $LINENO ------------------------ I want the function Line to show the line number in the second file where it's executed, not the line number from the sourced function.

What's wrong with yum-priorities?
by Dennis Kibbe 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009: Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki (PackageManagement/Yum?Priorities) without any explanation why yum-priorities isn't a good idea. yum-priorities doesn't appear in RHEL 5.4 but protectbase does. Is that the better choice and if so why? Thanks, Dennisk -- "Free as in Freedom" Free Software Foundation

So I checked if the "NAT" is enabled on my CentOS server , as the followings : #echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward But still I cannot try for "NAT" . Can you please let me know which other setings maybe influenced and need to be checked for enabling the "NAT" ? Thank you in advance

dnsmasq - where to use? where not?

Hi list, On updating my server today, I noted that dnsmasq was updated, I do not recall installing this onto my server as it is running bind/named and dhcpd, thus why does it need dnsmasq? So I did a $> sudo yum remove dnsmasq to find out what rpm / yum thinks about it - I get a list of NetworkManager(-glib) removals evolution(-connector) removals krb5-auth-dialog also...... I think I can live without NetworkManager and evolution on this server, but why krb5-auth-dialog?? Any suggestions appreciated. TIA Rob

Recommended approach for adding PATA_IT8213 support via RPM
by Kurt Newman 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

My question is: Anyone know of a howto of some sort (or perhaps any instructions) for creating a kernel module to add support for a particular device. I need to get support for the PATA_IT8213 hardware. Supplementary information: I've read http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules and http://www.kerneldrivers.org/RedHatKernelModulePackages. However, it seems the underlying assumption for these two HOWTOs is that you have separate source code for the modules. Support for the PATA_IT8213 is already in the kernel. However, the stock rhel kernel does not support it, even as a module. I know I could simply rebuild the source RPM with modified kernel config files, but that feels less than satisfactory since I'm not forced to maintain my own kernel module if I decide to upgrade. Any suggestions?

Intel i7-940, DX58S0 motherboard, Radeon X1950 Pro video card
by Frank Cox 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

This computer is my main desktop machine --- an Intel i7-940 CPU and DX58S0 motherboard with a Radeon X1950 Pro video card. It's currently running Fedora 11 and working just fine. However, I have been slowly moving all of my "computer stuff" off of Fedora and onto Centos, and this (and my Acer Aspire One laptop) are the only Fedora installations that I now have left. Does anyone have any experience with this CPU, motherboard and video card on Centos? This hardware (sound, video, ethernet, what-have-you) works fine on Fedora 11; can I expect it to also work fine with Centos 5.4? The ethernet isn't a big deal because I can easily slap another network card into it, but the rest isn't quite so easy to substitute. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

kdump location recommendations?
by Florin Andrei 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I need to make a decision on the configuration of the kdump location for a bunch of new machines. It seems like using a raw partition directly is the safest choice, right? If I configure it to dump vmcore on a filesystem, and the filesystem gets corrupted somehow, then the dump will fail. Same for network-based dumps (the remote end may be unavailable due to a number of reasons). The local storage is a couple SATA drives with hardware-based mirror RAID. The chassis is a Dell PowerEdge. Also, what it the recommended size for a dedicated raw partition for kdump? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org

Problem with Samba on CentOS 5.3
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hi there -- I am having an issue with the Samba package, release 3.033375, that came bundled with the CentOS 5.3 distribution. It seems that even though I created the smbpasswd file, located at the /etc/samba directory, I am unable to modify the password of the users listed in it. I can run the /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a <username> command as root, and even though there are no errors, a subsequent check of the smbpasswd file indicates the username in question is still listed with the series of X's and NO PASSWORD indicator. I have confirmed through the find command the only instances of smbpasswd are those at the /etc/samba and /usr/bin locations. Has anyone seen this issue, and aside from installing samba from source, have a solution to this problem? Thanks.

High load averages with latest kernel and USB drives?
by Benjamin Smith 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I'm having a server report a high load average when backing up Postgres database files to an external USB drive. This is driving my loadbalancers all out of kilter and causing a large volume of network monitor alerts. I have a 1TB USB drive plugged into a USB2 port that I use to back up the production drives (which are SCSI). It's working fine, but while doing backups (hourly) the load average on the server shoots up from the normal 0.5 - 1.5 or so up to a high between 10 and 30. Strangely, even though the "load is high" the server is completely responsive, even the USB drives being accessed are! Backup script is really simple, run via cron, pretty much just: #! /bin/sh hour=`date +%k`; pg_dump <options> mydatabase > /media/backups/mydatabase.$hour.pgsql; where /media/backups is the mount point for the USB drive. Using top to diagnose, nothing seems to be particularly high! IoWait seems reasonable (10-30%) and CPUs are 0.5%, Idle is 70-90%. Even accessing the USB partition while the load is "high" is responsive! I'm guessing that something changed in how load average is counted? Server Stats: Late model 8-way Xeon, SuperMicro brand. CentOS 4.x / 64 (all updates applied, booted after last kernel update) Kernel 2.6.9-89.0.16.ELsmp 4 GB ECC RAM 300 GB SCSI HDD. Standard Apache/PHP, Postgres 8.4. Any idea how to revert to the old load average tracking behavior short of using a stale and potentially insecure kernel? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Why swap if there's still physical memory available
by yanagik317 19 Nov '09

Dear CentOS people, This is just a general question related to memory management, and there may have been a thread or two about it before, but I'd like to post anyway. A user was looking at top, whereby he found out that his two processes were 10.2g and 4836m in VIRT. They were 6.4g and 4.6g in RES respectively. 3445964k was free still. He was wondering why the system didn't use all of the physical memory available (16300960k total) before swapping out parts of the processes. Over time, the 10.2g process had about 8g of it in SWAP. The 4836m process only had about 100m in SWAP. Much of the physical space is now used. I guess the answer may not be that simple and I most likely haven't described everything that could have influenced the kernel's decision-making, but how does Linux decide how much of a process to be swapped out? I guess I could read the documentations on the Linux kernel, but does anyone have more general answers ready to be dispensed? I haven't done anything with sysctl, if that comes into play at all. Thank you, --Koji

serial console config package?
by Jiann-Ming Su 19 Nov '09

I've been installing CentOS via PXE and using a serial console interface. The installation works great. I notice that during the install process, the following line gets added automatically to /etc/inittab: co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600 vt100-nav Which package does this? Is it kudzu? Thanks for any insights. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options. If I wanted to do that, I'd vote." --Duckman "The system's broke, Hank.

stupid Centos-DS questions
by Alan McKay 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

OK, I'm mostly through everything up to and including Chapter 5 in http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/install/Installation_Guid… And looking through the ToC for the rest, I do not see that my questions will be answered by this doc. So please feel free to point me to other docs. This manual seems to assuming I already know what it is I want to do, and what "Directory Services" are all about. Invalid assumption. For example, right now I am reading about how to set up different instances of this-or-that (Admin Server, Directory Server, yadda, yadda). What it does not tell me is why I would want to do that. It does not even tell me "what is an 'instance'" . I've never done any sort of DS, so this is all new stuff to me. Suggested reading is very welcomed. What is even more welcome is pointers to case studies or template examples. We are a very small company with only about 30 people right now. Though we do have a convoluted network with 3 distinct network areas separated by VPNs. I'm new here (and put in charge), and we are not even running DNS yet (eeep! for REALZ!!!). To me it makes sense to have 3 different DNS subdomains because of some quirks they have in their product architecture here. I'm thinking "office.example.dom", "production.example.com" and "rc.example.com". And from the bit I've read so far on DS, it seems to be recommended to have your DS mirror your DNS. So we are small enough where I do not think we need more than 1 server to run it all. And I can make all the machines talk to that server through the firewalls separating the 3 zones. That is not an issue at all. I'm not sure how this affects my DS. Would these be "instances"? So many questions ... please suggest reading material. thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
