by Johan Swensson 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi I was wondering, what is the state on getting a more updated version of KVM onto centos? I've found some 3rd party repos by I'm curious if one could expect a new supported KVM soon or will it not get in until EL6?

PDNS

03 Aug '09

Does anyone have experience with PDNS? The reason I ask is that I have never heard of it before today, but it looks like we might want to leverage its sql backend capabilites. My (useless) searches lead me to: * http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-es/2009-February/004499.html * http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-July/078975.html (in spanish...) * http://www.tummy.com/journals/entries/kevin_20070326_163156 * http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2005-November/002829.html * http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/solaris-opensolaris-20/powerdns-vs-… 636478/ (same dilemma as mine) In particular do you have any complaints about doing complicated setups? Windows machines registering themselves? Upstream provider's continued support after 5.x? Any other jibes or cheers? -Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

I have very basic question: I have downloaded *CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD* from CentOS website. Now I need to install it on my Acer Laptop permanently not as a liveCD. How do I burn it to a DVD to be able to install it by simply restarting my laptop? Thank you, Sam

things weirdly different in new installation
by fred smith 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I've just built a new system and installed latest Centos 5.3 on it. My old box also has an up to date Centos 5 on it. Some things are just plain different between the two installations, and it's stumping me why that would be. Example: on the old box, the shutdown dialog offers restart, cancel, shutdown, and also standby and hibernate. and the standby and hibernate options work, too. The new box, it only offers restart, cancel, or shutdown. Oddly, the main "System" dropdown offers "suspend" as well as "logoff" and "shutdown" submenus. Since it's a desktop, I won't often want to suspend or hibernate, but it may occasionally be nice to have the option to hibernate (e.g., power is off, UPS is about dead, hibernate could save my work.) Ideas, anyone?

Embedded Question
by Joseph L. Casale 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

A friend asked me to setup an embedded appliance with an RO root for minimal maintenance to primarily stream shoutcast out to an amp. The only thing I knew that might do this is iMedia Linux, but the project is practically dead with little to no activity. Is it possible to do something like this with CentOS? Doesn't seem to be much info on the /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root file. Anyone know a good place to get info on this? I would rather use CentOS if possible as I also want to use this a firewall/vpn for them and that would be easy and reliable w/ CentOS. Thanks! jlc

Centos convert to rhel?
by Bob Hoffman 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hate to ask, but after reading the last few months of centos history online I am worried. And to learn the lead guy seems to have absconded with the cash and left all the hard working devs high and dry..well that is scary. They all worked so hard and who knows what will happen now. If centos falls I have no choice but to go to redhat. I am wondering if the conversion will be easy or a complete reinstall. I ponder the worries I think we are all faced with here. I think all of us would follow a fork... Whatever they end up calling it. But I am worried about the immediate future for the project. None of those guys deserve what is happening to them and all of us are affected. If anyone lives near Lance, perhaps a good call to the local news station and some you tube stuff may get him to release the project to the team who wants to continue. But an option to go full redhat is one I am now considering.. Discuss?

Re: [CentOS] Open Letter to Lance Davis
by James B. Byrne 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Since 2004 or so, I have donated each year to the CentOS project, at the requested rate, for each of our servers. While I never really gave the matter any thought (fool that I am) I presumed that any organisation that solicited funds would, at a minimum, be incorporated, have a board of directors, duly appointed officers and hold all corporate identity elements such as internet domain names, brand trademarks and such as corporate property. Evidently, my beliefs in this matter were sadly unfounded. Now, I appreciate that whilst somewhat embarrassing, the immediate matter is easily resolved, turning as it does on retention or depreciation of the centos.org domain. Presumably those who donated bandwidth and servers to the CentOS.old project will in the main continue to support the CentOS.new project. Equally, unless some injury that has not yet come to light has been done to them, it seems likely that most of the current maintainers will move their loyalties and future technical contributions to CentOS.new. However, having been bitten once, I feel that I must ask this more formal question. What steps, if any, have been taken to establish the CentOS project as a separate legal entity distinct from any individual contributor? What protections are being put in place to prevent future misappropriations of donations and advertising revenue, even if it turns out that no such thing has as yet happened? Sincerely,

how to disable scim
by Charles E Campbell Jr 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hello: I keep getting these An IOException occurred at scim_bridge_client_imcontext_set_cursor_location () messages -- and I'd like to turn them off. I won't mind having scim just plain turned off. However, in using Google, I find a hint such as "right click on the tray, ..." -- so where's the tray? A second part of that hint suggested using System:Administration:Language Support -- there's a "Language" (which allows me to select my default language) but nothing about scim. So, any hints about how to nuke scim? Regards, Chip Campbell -- someday I'll have a good signature, I'm sure of it...

Upgrade fm 4.7 to 5.3: mptscsi module?
by Curt Mills 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

First issue: I did an upgrade from 4.7 to 5.3 on an HP DL380G3 box. I got yum working again and upgraded 160+ packages. During that process I saw: ------------------------------------------- Installing : kernel-PAE [157/322] WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5PAE, continuing anyway Installing : kernel [158/322] WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5, continuing anyway ------------------------------------------- Since I'm running with SCSI drives on that box and lsmod shows me this: ------------------------------------------- # ./lsmod | grep mpt mptctl 31301 1 mptsas 37193 0 scsi_transport_sas 30529 1 mptsas mptspi 23625 0 scsi_transport_spi 26305 1 mptspi mptfc 21829 0 mptscsih 36929 3 mptsas,mptspi,mptfc scsi_transport_fc 37449 1 mptfc mptbase 76901 5 mptctl,mptsas,mptspi,mptfc,mptscsih scsi_mod 141589 17 mptctl,ib_iser,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi,scsi_transport_iscsi,scsi_dh,st,sg,mptsas,scsi_transport_sas,mptspi,scsi_transport_spi,mptfc,mptscsih,scsi_transport_fc,cciss,sd_mod ------------------------------------------- I'm a bit worried about rebooting the system. Should I be? Did some other driver take over the responsibilities of the mptscsi driver? Second issue: I also had to remove some repositories from yum, do a "yum clean all", and still manually remove a few more packages before yup update would work. There are still quite a few "el4" packages left on the system even now. History: # history 1006 yum update;date 1007 yum clean all 1008 yum update;date 1009 yum remove freetype-utils cyrus-imapd-murder cyrus-imapd-nntp 1010 yum update;date 1011 yum remove seamonkey 1012 yum update;date 1013 rpm -qa | grep -i el4 Some of the el4 packages that are left are probably one's that I installed by hand outside the yum repository scheme, but certainly not all of them are. I expected the upgrade off DVD and then the "yum update" to take care of most of those. -- Curt Mills, WE7U hacker at fluke dot com Senior Methods Engineer/SysAdmin "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math!"

LDAP howto using ds-base and ds-admin and related consoles
by Rob Kampen 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi, I have previously used openLDAP and read many of their howto documents for establishing an LDAP server. RH and CentOS provide <brand>-ds-base and related rpms and I like what I see and read about the product. I found the wiki article on installing the rpms and getting it running on a server - so far so good. Then I fall into a big hole. What are the key items that need to be put in place to actually make it useful for my domain? Is there a document somewhere for those of us that want to bridge from openLDAP to the RH based product? I have read many hundreds of pages, have purchased O'reilly's LDAP System Administration but cannot seem to get my dirsrv based LDAP to function. I do understand that ds uses LDIF files to store and set things up, but seem unable to grasp the arcane entries that need to exist so I can access it with a basic LDAP client to load my users etc. Also I guess there are certain schemas that need to be used to allow basic functions to work. My wish list: linux user authentication and authorization windows user authentication and authorization (via samba?) customer contact list (name, address, company, phone numbers, email addresses) - this last one to be used by Thunderbird and my SIP phone system - both of which profess to speak LDAP I'm sure there are many small business folk that would like something like this, however I cannot find a template with all my searches, so for those of you with better LDAP and or google skills - please point me in the right direction. Thanks Rob

We have and nfs mount from a windows pc nfs server. A file is created on the server, but can take as long as 50 seconds to become available on the client. We are running Centos 5.2 (final), using NFS version 3. Is there anything we can do from the client side to see the file more quickly.

X Crashing on 64 Bit CentOS
by Clint Dilks 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi People, I have a user who is regularly having X Crash. This seemed to happen once a month but has increased to once or twice a week. It doesn't seem to be application specific. The only information about whats causing the crash is from the X log. But this doesn't really give much to go on. Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x4865b1] 1: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x3475430280] 2: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libfb.so(fbCopyAreammx+0x274) [0x2b917c4dbe14] 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libfb.so(fbComposite+0x5db) [0x2b917c4cc65b] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libxaa.so(XAAComposite+0x2ac) [0x2b917c71d94c] 5: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x51379d] 6: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x50fb54] 7: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x5032ef] 8: /usr/bin/Xorg(Dispatch+0x1ca) [0x449c9a] 9: /usr/bin/Xorg(main+0x44e) [0x4325ee] 10: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x347541d974] Any suggestions as to how I diagnose this further?

ssh -X not shutting down
by Anne Wilson 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Occasionally I ssh into my server to check something, and if it needs the gui I use 'ssh -X'. Until recently there was no problem. Exiting simply dropped me back to my local konsole. Lately, though, the shutdown seems to hang, and I have to close the session. Any thoughts? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

Concerned 3 im clients were installed as dependencies.
by Rob Townley 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Worried, ran yum -y update expecting to get the bind update but am concerned as to why the following instant messaging packages were installed as dependencies. All of the following are instant messaging related except cyrus-sasl. Jul 30 17:00:49 Installed: cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-4.i386 Jul 30 17:00:49 Installed: meanwhile-1.0.2-5.el5.i386 Jul 30 17:00:50 Installed: libsilc-1.0.2-2.fc6.i386 Jul 30 17:00:54 Installed: libpurple-2.5.5-3.el5.i386 Jul 30 17:00:58 Installed: libpurple-perl-2.5.5-3.el5.i386 Did anybody else notice the install of im clients on practically headless non-gui systems? Any explanation?

Any more details on Lance? (just curious; no pressure)
by MHR 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

A friend of mine sent me this link: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/07/30/130249/CentOS-Project-Administrato… I went to the main page and read the letter and the "Facts." Are there any more details, mainly along the lines of CentOS sticking around - I know you folks all work really hard on this, and you know better than me how many others depend on you - but - there's that little specter of doubt yelling in my virtual ears (has to yell 'cuz it's really tiny) and I'd like nothing better (well, almost) than to gag it. Thanks for all you do, and for keeping us all informed. mhr

Re: [CentOS] Grub fallback problem
by Matthias Blankenhaus 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Let's try this again :) I am running CentOS 5 (core pkgs) / x86_64 using grub 0.97 and I am trying to configure a fallback between two partitions on my local disk, each installed with a CentOS image. The idea is to be able to install a new test OS image and fall back in case of a problem to the default image. This is a great grub feature ! Except it does not work for me :( grub.conf: #----------------------------------------------- default saved timeout=5 fallback 1 title NEW OS root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-new root=/dev/sda1 panic=5 initrd /boot/initrd-new.img savedefault fallback title DEFAULT OS root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-default root=/dev/sda2 initrd /boot/initrd-default.img savedefault #----------------------------------------------- Grub is installed on /dev/sda1, but not on /dev/sda2. /dev/sda1 is the primary boot partition. Both partitions are formatted with ext3. The problem is that the fallback does not work for me. For instance, if I specify on purpose a wrong root device with the NEW OS, e.g. root=/dev/sda3, then the kernel panics and reboots properly after 5 sec. However, grub then attempts to boot the NEW OS all over again. The same is true when I fully boot NEW OS with the right root device and then panic the kernel on purpose. Now, I have read somewhere that grub requires a default file to get the savedefault feature working. However, I could neither find the 'savedefault' command nor the grub default file under /boot/grub or anywhere else. One more thing, when I choose the boot title manually then grub seems to remember my last choice. In other words, grub is preserving my last choice from a previous boot. Am I doing something wrong ? Do I need to install something in addition to grub 0.97 ? Your help is much appreciated, Matthias --- On Wed, 7/29/09, Matthias Blankenhaus <matthiasblankenhaus(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > From: Matthias Blankenhaus <matthiasblankenhaus(a)yahoo.com> > Subject: Grub fallback problem > To: centos(a)centos.org > Date: Wednesday, July 29, 2009, 11:19 AM > Hi ! > > I am running CentOS 5 using grub 0.97 > > > >

LSI MegaRAID system status
by Raymond Lillard 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Dear list, I have inherited a CentOS-5 box with a LSI Sata Raid controller. It is configured as a RAID5 w/hot-standby. My concern is that I have no present means of determining the RAID status w/o downing the system and going into the bios to get status. If a disk has failed and brought the standby disk online, I would like to know about it, the day it happens by seeing it in syslog or getting an e-mail message. The only solution I have found is on the LSI web-site. It is tool called "MegaMon for Linux". It most recent release was in 2005 and it requires that I use their driver. Just the package title gives me chills. It runs as a daemon and is almost constantly polling the h/w . I would much prefer a simple command line tool that I can wrap a script around and run it under cron. My questions are: 1. Does anyone know of a command line tool ? 2. Failing a positive response to #1, has anyone any experience with "MegaMon for Linux", good or otherwise ? Thanks to all, Ray The h/w is a dual Opteron dual-core system with lots of memory. The relevant dmesg lines and lspci output are shown below: dmesg: megaraid cmm: 2.20.2.7 (Release Date: Sun Jul 16 00:01:03 EST 2006) megaraid: 2.20.5.1 (Release Date: Thu Nov 16 15:32:35 EST 2006) megaraid: probe new device 0x1000:0x0409:0x1000:0x3008: bus 3:slot 14:func 0 GSI 17 sharing vector 0xA8 and IRQ 17 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:0e.0[C] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 megaraid: fw version:[814B] bios version:[H431] scsi5 : LSI Logic MegaRAID driver scsi[5]: scanning scsi channel 0 [Phy 0] for non-raid devices scsi[5]: scanning scsi channel 1 [virtual] for logical drives Vendor: MegaRAID Model: LD 0 RAID5 1144G Rev: 814B Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 *SCSI device sdc: 2343745536 512-byte hdwr sectors (1199998 MB) *sdc: Write Protect is off *sdc: Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 *sdc: asking for cache data failed *sdc: assuming drive cache: write through *SCSI device sdc: 2343745536 512-byte hdwr sectors (1199998 MB) *sdc: Write Protect is off *sdc: Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 *sdc: asking for cache data failed *sdc: assuming drive cache: write through * sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 *sd 5:1:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdc lspci -v 03:0e.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID (rev 0a) Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SATA 300-8X RAID Controller Flags: bus master, stepping, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 Memory at cfcf0000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fe500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Expansion ROM at fe4e0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable- Capabilities: [e0] PCI-X non-bridge device

Color Coded Labels (Like OSX)
by Christopher Rushton 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to do something similar to Mac OSX color label, where you can highlight a file or group of files and assign them a color, making different files more obvious. For example, my files which are finished with are colored green and those which haven't been worked on are red, etc. This means, even with files of the same type, I can clearly see which ones need work doing to them. I'm not expecting you to do it or even explicitly explain how it would be done, just a pointer to the right files and any quick thoughts you might have about implementing a system like this will do!

DRBD very slow....
by Coert Waagmeester 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello all, we have a new setup with xen on centos5.3 I run drbd from lvm volumes to mirror data between the two servers. both servers are 1U nec rack mounts with 8GB RAM, 2x mirrored 1TB seagate satas. The one is a dual core xeon, and the other a quad-core xeon. I have a gigabit crossover link between the two with an MTU of 9000 on each end. I currently have 6 drbds mirroring across that link. The highest speed I can get through that link with drbd is 11 MB/sec (megabytes) But if I copy a 1 gig file over that link I get 110 MB/sec. Why is DRBD so slow? I am not using drbd encryption because of the back to back link. Here is a part of my drbd config: # cat /etc/drbd.conf global { usage-count yes; } common { protocol C; syncer { rate 80M; } net { allow-two-primaries; } } resource xenotrs { device /dev/drbd6; disk /dev/vg0/xenotrs; meta-disk internal; on baldur.somedomain.local { address 10.99.99.1:7793; } on thor.somedomain.local { address 10.99.99.2:7793; } } Kind regards, Coert

Re: [CentOS] USB, AutoMount & VNC
by Jason Thrasher 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi Guy, I'm curious if you found a solution to the headless automount problem on centos? I'm running into a similar problem, though I am not using VNC. My machine is simply headless, with only network and power supplied, and I'm trying to trigger a bash script to run when a new device is added (like USB, DVD, CDROM, etc) using a custom udev rule. Automount seems to only work for removable devices if a user is logged in locally on the console, not via ssh. Something about the tty nature of the login seems to be affecting how udev handles these removable devices. When a user is logged in locally, it fires the udev rules, and will run my udev rule which triggers other actions. I can't get this to work without the local login though. any ideas or pointers? thanks, Jason

I read on another forum how a user using iSCSI for domUs was experiencing network hangs due to the fact that dom0 didn't have enough scheduler credits to handle the network throughput.

Actually a better idea would be to just allow connections on the most sensitive services only from our country since we do no business with people abroad.

Hi, I need to maintain a same user/group list on multiples systems. Can we just copy the same passwd and groups file on all machines? If we create a new user on one system then I will need to copy this to all other systems. This is quite cumbersome. Any suggestions? - CS.

Software RAID-1 partition constantly syncing

Hello, I understand the function and reason of limits.conf, and I have some limited experience configuring values for (essentially single-user) Oracle systems. How do I understand correctly what my limits should be for multiuser system system, are there best practice guidance? Are there some typical settings this list has had experience with for multiuser environments? Appreciated, Eugene
