5.3 Update Success
by Tim Nelson 12 Apr '09

12 Apr '09

Greetings CentOS Team- Since the list tends to be filled with "things don't work" and "why did you do it this way" and "complaint X", I thought I'd make a small deviation... I have a production system running on a Dell Poweredge 2650 server. I simply ran 'yum update' and rebooted with no problems. Everything continues to work as rock solid as before. So, I just wanted to say 'Thank You' to all those who put in such hard work into the CentOS project. The time between releases was not a problem here. If it was, I guess I'd just ask for a refund. :-) --Tim

Mock Questions
by Joseph L. Casale 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Just started using mock to rebuild some srpms. I have two I want to rebuild, problem is the first creates a dep that is required by the second. Is there an automated way to populate an additional repo/cache that mock would look at when building the second so I could queue both? Although I haven't tried, I presume I could drop the output from the first build into a dir, createrepo it and add that into the config file then build the next package but that's not very slick :) Thanks! jlc

Is there a way to get these messages in one daily one ?
by rock 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Hi ! Happy Easter! I have looked on the web however I can't see if I can get the messages sent to me in one daily email rather than immediately. At time I would like to choose that option if I am very busy. Thanks oz :-)

Desktop update (32 bit) from 5.2 to 5.3 - fuse & ntfs-3g-mount
by Lanny Marcus 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

I just finished updating my Desktop, from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 (32 bit). There were a lot of error messages (from sbin/ldconfig ?) about 2 files, in usr/lib/lib ending in .so "is not an ELF file - It has the wrong magic bytes at the start." There were also a lot of messages I believe have to do with SELinux. I'd read the Release Notes and thought I was OK, since this box is dual boot with M$ Windows XP, thinking I had the latest and greatest way to access the NTFS partition. However, when I rebooted the box, I saw warning messages: "modprobe fuse as root" and here is the result of that: [root@dell2400 ~]# modprobe fuse [root@dell2400 ~]# exit logout [lanny@dell2400 ~]$ and another message "ntfs-3g-mount fuse device is missing" As expected, after viewing the above messages; I can't see what's on the NTFS partition. I will read the Release Notes, again, in the morning. This box has GNOME and KDE on it and I was getting messages from PUP that 185 packages were available. The update, after updating glibc, was 268 packages. A big thank you, to everyone who spent so much of their valuable and very limited time working on this update!

Controlling log file sizes
by Anne Wilson 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

My fetchmail and procmail log files are getting rather large, and there's really no reason to keep entries for ever. How do others handle this? I know I could manually delete the older stuff then re-save the file, but it doesn't seem a good method. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

installing updates in post kickstart
by Jerry Geis 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

I can do a yum update in my post kickstart (which is what I am doing now actually). However, I want to save network time at installations. If I copy down the files from centos/5.3/updates/x86_64/RPMS and place them in a directory local on my network, can I just "rpm -U /mnt/directory/updates/x86_64/RPMS*" in my post section? Assuming I have nfs mounted the directory of course... Thanks, Jerry

question on compiling a driver early on at boot
by Jerry Geis 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

I have noticed in /etc/inittab it calls /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and in there ANYTHING with a .modules name in the /etc/sysconfig/modules directory is executed. Would this be a place to put a driver.modules file and recompile my driver BEFORE entering the next run level? Is that how this is done or is there a "prefered" way? My goal is to detect a kernel change after a yum update and recompile my driver before its needed. Thanks, Jerry

What is writing to my filesystem
by JCARRIZOSA＠Crutchfield.com 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

I have a CentOS 5.2 box that every few months runs out of drivespace on its root filesystem. Last time I manually searched and deleted some big files, but don't remember what they were or what wrote to them. The applications I'm aware of on the box don't write to /. Is there a way to find the files that get written to the most, or grow the most over time? Doing a df gives me a snapshot, but it seems clunky to keep track of the diff on that output over time. I can then see what processes write to them. Any other ideas on how to investigate this are welcome. Thanks much. Jorge

Netinstall/kickstart issue

When booting the 5.3 i386 netinstall iso and performing a ks install, the server pauses for a very long time at the "Retrieving images/stage2.img" screen and the apache log where the http served tree exists shows it looking for: ...File does not exist: /var/www/html/CentOS/images/product.img ...File does not exist: /var/www/html/CentOS/disc1 multiple times until finally it gets going. This tree was a dvd copied to a directory being served out. Any ideas? Thanks! jlc

Segmentation fault using flash-plugin under CentOS 5.3
by carlopmart 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hi all I have a very strange problem on my CentOS 5.3 laptop. I have installed latest firefox version from updates repository (3.0.7) with flash-plugin downloaded from adobe website. When i open firefox and i need to access to some web site with flash content, firefox crash with this message: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 9133 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} Problem appears with versions 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 too. On the other hand, I have another laptop installed with RHEL 5.3 with firefox and flash-plugin (but this flash-plugin is installed from redhat repository - rhn) and this problem doesn't appears ... Where is the problem?? Maybe is it a bug with firefox under CentOS only?? Thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Has anyone built and installed truecrypt 6.1a on CentOS 5.3.

Anaconda kickstart laying out / randomly; ignoring --ondisk in part command
by Mark Porter 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

This problem occurred in both CentOS 5.2 and the new (awesome!) 5.3: I'm using a SuperMicro motherboard with a 6 port NVidia SATA controller on the motherboard and an 8 port SuperMicro Marvel controller in a slot. In my kickstart file, I have part raid.01 . --ondisk=sda . part raid.02 . --ondisk=sdb . part raid.03 . --ondisk=sdc . part raid.04 . --ondisk=sdd . . raid / --level=RAID1 --fstype=ext3 --device=md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03 raid.04 When I only have 4 drives installed in the system, this works fine. However, whenever I have more than 4 drives, it seems that anaconda ignores my --ondisk, and lays out /dev/md0 somewhat randomly across the drives. In particular, with 8 drives (sda..sdh), with the exact same kickstart file, it lays out /dev/md0 on drives sda, sdb, sdg and sdh. with 10 drives (sda..sdj), with the exact same kickstart file, it lays out /dev/md0 on drives sda, sdh, sdi, sdj. Does this make sense to anybody? Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks! Mark

Where's v5.3 source RPMs?
by Steve Snyder 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

It seems that the mirrors are now all sync'd with the binary RPMs, but where are the source packages? The source RPMs are available for the few packages updated since the upstream 5.3 release, but the SRPMS for the release itself are missing. Example: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.3/os/ has directories containing the x86 and x86_64 binaries, but should also have a SRPMS directory.

OT iSCSI best practices
by Ugo Bellavance 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi, I have an HP MSA 2000i as SAN (iSCSI) and since I'm starting with SANs, I'm seeking for advice. We are currently using HP Proliant 380 G5 + MSA 70 (SAS, direct-attached storage) for our production servers. At first, I thought I'd be using the SAN only for non-critical operations, like temporary additional storage for disk-based backups and snapshots, so I planned on using my existing network equipement to connect the SAN. Now I'd like to use it as storage for some blade servers that I want to use for virtualisation, so reliability is more important. I'd just like to evaluate the risk, to make sure I plan correctly. The SAN is a dual controller, dual-port, with a mix of RAID10 and RAID 50 arrays, so this is pretty solid. However, if I'm using only one switch to connect the initiators to this SAN, is it more risky than relying on the non-redundant RAID controllers that are in my HP servers? If it is recommended that I use multipathing, I guess that means 2 switches, additionnal nics but also another interconnect in the blade enclosure? If you need more information, just let me know :). Thanks in advance, Ugo

Clamav question after upgrade to 5.3 and 0.95
by Rob Kampen 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi list, I have installed ClamAV from rpmforge and followed the excellent CentOS how to on installing amavisd - all has appeared to just work as advertised - thanks to all those involved in getting these instructions together. Come time to upgrade to 5.3 and ClamAV 0.95 (logwatch has been encouraging me to do the ClamAV upgrade for a week or two) All appeared to work fine. However I now notice the following in my logwatch --------------------- amavis Begin ------------------------ 102 messages checked and passed. 3 messages with bad headers were found. ---------------------- amavis End ------------------------- --------------------- clam-update Begin ------------------------ Last ClamAV update process started at Wed Apr 8 04:02:26 2009 Last Status: main.cvd is up to date (version: 50, sigs: 500667, f-level: 38, builder: sven) Downloading daily-9211.cdiff [100%] Downloading daily-9212.cdiff [100%] daily.cld updated (version: 9212, sigs: 38627, f-level: 41, builder: guitar) Database updated (539294 signatures) from db.us.clamav.net (IP: 207.57.106.31) Clamd successfully notified about the update. ---------------------- clam-update End ------------------------- --------------------- Clamav Begin ------------------------ **Unmatched Entries** Database correctly reloaded (1039377 signatures) ---------------------- Clamav End ------------------------- My question is the number of signatures reported by the clam-update has never equaled the number reported in ClamAV database reload - they alway differed by around 792 or so. But after the upgrade to 0.95 and CentOS 5.3 it now reports nearly twice as many signatures! Whats up? Do I have two databases? Where do I find these? Interested in understanding this a little better. Thanks

doing some googling, this seems to be about the most current/relevant thing I have found wrt to running freeipa server on CentOS http://howtoforge.com/how-to-build-rhel-ipa-rpms-for-centos-5 which I'm not totally adverse to doing but I have to ask, is there something packaged? (I've looked in 'testing' and in 'extras' and in epel) Has anyone followed some other instructions?

Trouble with 5.2==>5.3 upgrade
by fred smith 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I've updated two 5.2 systems without a hitch. But this third one is giving me some grief. See errors below. Googling for "Package does not match intended download" turns up a bunch of hits, but none of them (that I've seen) offers any working solution. Can someone suggest how to overcome the following error(s) Thanks a bunch!

kernel update doesn't update grub.conf
by Kai Schaetzl 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Just updated another machine to 5.3, everything fine, but grub.conf wasn't updated to the 128 kernel. It got a new modified date and the kernel is there, but the content wasn't changed. /etc/sysconfig/kernel contains the correct UPDATEDEFAULT=yes No errors in logs or during the update. No problem to boot with this kernel once added. This is the first time I ever see this happen. Any clues?

the 5.2 loaders
by Karanbir Singh 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Just looking around at log files and other places, I noticed today that there are still a lot of people installing and downloading 5.2. While a large number of installs would be since people already have the 5.2 media - thats fine, however, new downloads for 5.2 media today makes little sense ( to me ) - so whats going on here ? What can we do in order to better, faster, more visibly communicate the fact that 5.3 is the new target most people should be focusing on. I cam imagine there are people with specific needs and they would want the 5.2 media - but not a number so large, that its almost 80% of all the people downloading 5.3 these days. - KB

Update from 5.2 to 5.3 kernel not on mirror
by Michael Peterson 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I have tried today and at least twice last week since the release of 5.3 on Tuesday and got past the yum update glibc step just fine and have already done yum clean all several times and get through the first part of the yum update where you have to answer y and then it downloads all of the packages it seems but errors out and says that the kernel is not available on any mirrors. The system is running 32 Bit CentOS 5.2. It is a Pentium D system. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix in progress for it?

CentOS 5.3 samba: getent does not return data from the active directory (ads)
by Jason Ellison 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

CentOS 5.3 getent does not return data from the active directory (ads) I have installed and configured kerberos and samba so that the server can be a member of an existing Active Directory (AD). Correct configuration of kerbos was verified using kinit and klist. The samba configuration was verified by using "smbclient -k -L server". winbind was verified by using "wbinfo -g". The problem seems to be nsswitch accessing winbindd to get group information via the "getent group" command. I added winbind to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file like so: [root@nagios ~]# grep winbind /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files winbind shadow: files winbind group: files winbind I verified that all dynamic libraries are being accessed correctly by using "strace getent group". Below is the debug output of winbindd when issuing various commands that interact with it. The commands are noted in (parenthesis).

Chroot Install
by Marcus Moeller 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Good Morning, I want to update my CF-Microdrive for my router with CentOS (currently there is Slacky on it). I have attached the microdrive to my notebook using a pcmcia CF adapter. Within my CentOS installation the drive is detected correctly as ide_cf and all partitions are shown. But as the installer does not ship the necessary modules for a pcmcia ide installation i am searching for a way to either add these, or to prepare the device from my box within a chroot environment. Any ideas? Best Regards Marcus

CentOS automatically blocks port 80 out-of-the-box
by David M Lemcoe Jr. 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Maybe I just haven't installed enough distros, but the times I've installed CentOS, I've had to remember that by default, iptables is blocking inbound port 80 requests. This leads me to believe that I have a non-OS firewall error because I can ping but not http request. Is there a particular reason for this? Or is it a fail on my end?

Rebuilding FreeIPA is probably possible too but how long will that be possible ? FreeIPA isn't looking at being backward compatible and don't focus on RHEL interopability. It can probably work for a certain time, but surely not as long as an Enterprise timelife ... That's maybe worth discussing it though.

USB Thumb Drive Confusion
by Al Sparks 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I am running CentOS 4.7. I have a USB flash (thumb) drive that has a bunch of files placed there by Windows. I plugged it into the CentOS machine, and when I listed the files under "/media/usb-name", there was nothing there. I created an empty file: touch blah and it showed up when I did list it. I noticed, checking dmesg that it was attached to /dev/sdb. So I did a quick fdisk /dev/sdb I saw that it had a partition of type of W95 FAT16 under /dev/sdb1. How come I'm not able to see files placed on that device by XP/Vista machines when I plug it into the CentOS 4.7 machine, but I'm able to create a file on it, and list it? I did double-check and plugged that drive into my XP workstation and sure enough I was able to see all the files. === Al

Re: [CentOS] 3rd party DNS

I would reccomend afraid.org. I use them for my few domains that don't have basic dns at the registrar level. ------Original Message------ From: Dnk Sender: centos-bounces(a)centos.org To: CentOS Mailing list ReplyTo: CentOS Mailing list Sent: Apr 7, 2009 20:38 Subject: [CentOS] 3rd party DNS Please reply off list as this is ot from CentOS. Just looking or a recommendation of a 3rd party DNS provider (my client prefers free) with a web based control pannel (I doubt there is any other way). One of the important features is being able to set the ttl levels. I just have not used any, so I am not sure what to recommend to them. Thanks in advance.

can't "make"

Hello. I just fresh-installed 5.3 onto my laptop, and I have a problem trying to get wifi working. Be aware that I have 5.2 on it, and did the same process, and it worked great! I'm using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG -- as I did for 5.2. The problem arises in section 6: [mpk@a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ make /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/build: No such file or directory Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop. [mpk@a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ ls ath BuildCaps.inc hal kernelversion.c Makefile.kernel README release.h THANKS ath_hal contrib include Makefile net80211 README.dfs scripts tools ath_rate COPYRIGHT INSTALL Makefile.inc patch-kernel regression SNAPSHOT Q: 'make' can be run as $ - correct? In another terminal: [root@a3680 tmp]# whatprovides build -bash: whatprovides: command not found [root@a3680 tmp]# rpm -q gcc gcc-c++ make kernel-devel gcc-4.1.2-44.el5 gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5 make-3.81-3.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 I haven't a clue what's going on here, or how to fix it. Google's linux SE couldn't find any hits.

Install CentOS directly from usb drive?
by Neil Aggarwal 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello: I followed the instructions here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/ch02s04s01.html to put isolinux on a usb drive. When I boot from the usb drive, the installer comes up and I can do a network install. I have to say that is very impressive! But, since I have a 4GB usb drive, I am thinking I can load the rest of the installation onto the usb drive so I do not have to use a network install. I searched the Internet but could not find any instructions on doing that. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I built rpms for Miredo 1.1.5-1 on Centos 5.2 from the fc8 rpms. How do I determine if I have to rebuild it for Centos 5.3?

Re: [CentOS] kernel update doesn't update grub.conf
by lincohn john 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

I just updated kernel manually last evening: that is, directly using rpm and it did update the grub.conf. Well, you can always manually edit the grub.conf file, right? BTW: I managed to install 5.3 on the very first generation MAC PRO (xeon 2.66, XT1900) last weekend with old kernel: I took a detour in order to install it directly from CD iso. The system Hung several times and the DVD rom was NOT recognized. However, after updated to the newest kernel last evening, the DVD ram recognized and it did NOT hang any more: at least for about 6 hours. Cheers!

contradictory netfilter default policy
by Michael Klinosky 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

I'm curious why CentOS contradicts its own (or, actually RH's) netfilter default policy. On http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables , at the end of section 1, it's stated that (generally) the default policy for INPUT is to DROP. So, why is it set to ACCEPT? Btw, Fedora is also this way.
