kickstart install
by Jerry Geis 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi all, trying to do an install on a ATI radeon 3200 system I am using a kickstart file from 5.2 that works fine in 5.2 First two lines of my post section I do: init 3 chvt 3 This is not happening ? When I try and do a CTRL-ALT-F2 the screen goes black, ALT-F6 to go back has a white screen with the mouse cursor showing busy and the normal background is missing or just not painted. Any ideas?

Nice job, 5.3 developers/testers!
by Gilbert Sebenste 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

And everyone involved with this release! I followed the instructions (including removing the two packages, lam and I forget what other one it was now, and updating glibc first), and the update was completely painless. And, with that yum "fastest repo" add-on thingy, wow! I had 2 megaBYTE/sec downloads of the updates to my 6 boxes. Everything was updated in an hour, and I was good to go, and all appears well. You know, I've had more update packages with Fedora 8 after not updating for five days than with this update! I'm guessing 5.2 packages that didn't get updated are par for the course: they still work fine, so they don't get updated (I'm new to this, obviously), or get their file extensions changed when you do an rpm -q (package). Karanbir, you and the entire production/development/testing team, and those upstream, get a "bravo" from me! Centos 5.3 i386...I'm lovin' it. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** *******************************************************************************

5.2-5.3 Xen upgrade weirdness
by Tom Diehl 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, Has anyone tried upgrading xen domu's from 5.2 to 5.3? I just did a yum upgrade glibc & yum upgrade yum. All appeared to go well but when I rebooted and tried to connect to the network, I could not. Looking at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I see that the that there is now an ifcfg-eth0 and an ifcfg-eth0.bak. ifcfg-eth0 now contains configuration for a dynamically configured interface and ifcfg-eth0.bak has the old static config information. In addition, the mac address of the interface has also been changed. I can put everything back but I would like to know if this behavior is deliberate? If so how do I revert whatever is making the changes so that this does not happen. I have software on some of my domu's that requires me to go get new license keys when mac addresses or ip addresses change. So far in my limited testing this only seems to happen on the domu. The dom0 seems to be OK, although I have not yet rebooted it. I did not see anything in the release notes. Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl(a)rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123(a)rogueind.com

I heard that after two of my boxes were already updated the above way and they didn't experience any issues, so maybe it was bogus, but it certainly can't hurt to do yum update glibc first. remote server, be sure to do it inside of screen.

"Linux aux petits oignons" - Book about Linux, based on CentOS 5.x
by Niki Kovacs 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, I'm currently busy finishing "Linux aux petits oignons", a practical introduction to Linux, aimed primarily at the frustrated Windows user. This is the first of two volumes, it's written in french, and all examples in the book are based on CentOS. (Note: looks like I'll have to update some screenshots to 5.3 :oD) Usually the first question that arises is: why not base your book on Ubuntu/Fedora/SuSE/whatever? I answer that question in the book, but in short: I'm using Linux professionally, both on server and desktop, and my distro of choice for both is CentOS. It's one of those rare distros where you login and everything Just Works(tm). I'm aware of the few drawbacks (recent hardware, latest version of apps, yadda yadda), but I can live with that. Another thing you will maybe notice: I'm not shy about introducing newbies to the commandline. Usually Linux books for beginners seem more and more GUI-centered, but I'm taking the opposite way, preferring to explain simple and basic UNIX concepts. (The heck if I lose 90% of prospective readers who will rather go off and buy "Simple comme Ubuntu" :oD) Here's the - almost - final version of the manuscript. It will go to the graphist sometime next week. Until then, maybe you're curious and want to take a glimpse: http://www.kikinovak.net/download/LinuxAuxPetitsOignons.pdf http://www.kikinovak.net/download/Captures.tar.gz If you have any comments, suggestions, if you want to point out the odd typo or mistake, feel free to do so. I can take them into account until maybe the end of next week, before the folks in the layout department do their job. One last thing: since this is not the final version, please don't disseminate it too much. Enjoy, Niki Kovacs (a.k.a Kiki Novak)

Help setting up multipathing on CentOS 4.7 to an Equallogic iSCSI target
by James Pearson 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I'm trying to test out an Equallogic PS5500 with a server running CentOS 4.7 I can create a volume and mount it fine using the standard iscsi-initiator-utils tools. The Equallogic box has 3 Gigabit interfaces and I would like to try to set up things so I can read/write from/to the volume using multiple NICs on the server i.e. get 200+ Mbyte/s access to the volume - I've had some basic info from Equallogic (Dell) saying that I need to set up DM multipathing - however, the info I have starts by saying that I have to: "Make sure the host can see multiple devices representing the same target volume" However, I'm not sure how I get to this point i.e. how do I set up the Equallogic and/or server so that I can see a single volume over multiple network links? Has anyone set up one of these Equallogic boxes in this way using CentOS4/RHEL4 ? Thanks James Pearson

Symantec Backup Exec (formerly Veritas) agent
by Mike Yates 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I'm just wondering if anyone else here is using this? The majority of jobs on our CentOS5 server "fail" by "Communications failure" right at the end, apparently on the very last file which, however, is recoverable, as is the whole archive. In more than half these failures, the Linux agent has stopped and, in about half of those, crashes leaving a backtrace. I had similar symptoms in Fedora4 (though much less often) and Fedora9 when the data was on a different server. Symantec have looked at this but they only "support" RHEL and SLES so will not delve deeper.

Getting ready for CentOS 5.4
by mbneto 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, Since the release of CentOS 5.3 is imminent(?) I'd like to ask a question regarding why did it took so long to be released and, more important, suggest some actions in order to reduce this time if I can assume what caused this delay. First I'd like to make sure I am not complaining about this delay between the RHEL and CentOS releases per se. I did not help in any way to make it happen faster and usually I don't mind having a three weeks gap between them. But I've noticed that we had two security related kernel updates from RHEL since the RHEL 5.3 release and there is no word on when it will be released or why is it taking so long. I can only assume that this delay is caused by lack of the necessary human resources. So, if this is really the case I'd suggest making some sort of campaign to raise money and provide the necessary resources in order to speed things up. If RH maintains the 4-6 month schedule it can happen again in less than three months. If this is not the case as a suggestion please let the community know what's going on. Perhaps an automated email sent to the mailing list with today's status (like 400 packages left to rebase, 20 packages being reviewed by QA etc) would give a sense of progress, let the others know if you hit problems and reduce the anxiety with daily doses of news :) Regards.

Torrent tracker for CentOS v5.3 working properly?

Hi, Is the tracker for the 5.3-release working properly? The only torrent I see actually downloading is CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1to6. The other three for the i386 DVD and ditto for x86_64 (cd+dvd) are just sitting there. The availability and the number of connected peers in the swarm for each torrent is rather high though. Do torrent downloads work from a single tracker at centos.org, or are those individual trackers depending on what mirror you download the torrent-file from?

live audio feed via telephone link
by Frank Cox 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I'm looking into costs and feasibility of moving a live feed from a FM radio station from the station to a point that's past the usable range of their radio signal. It's a rural location and Internet service is not available at the station. If the destination was closer or their transmitter was more powerful, I could avoid this step and just plug in a radio, but.... My best idea so far is to rent a dedicated phone line from the station to the point where we need the feed, then get some kind of on-the-fly audio compressor to hook up to the main board in the station, push it out over the phone line, then decompress it at the destination. I'm pretty sure there is dedicated hardware to do the compression/decompression (whatever they use to do those "radio remotes" from Sally's Sofa Sales without sounding like they are broadcasting from the bottom of a rain barrel) and I'm currently looking into that angle too, but I'm wondering if it would be cheaper/easier/better to have something running on Linux at both ends of the connection to handle the audio compression/decompression. Especially since I'm planning to run a Centos server at the destination end for other aspects of this project if we proceed with it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Web based project management recomendations

I was wondering if anyone can recommend an advanced to enterprise class project management package (web based) that runs with a pretty "vanilla" centos install. I would prefer to stick within the realm of php/mysql (as I am not too familiar with the java servers), but would venture there if the reasons were there to do so. The approach is not software dev management, but rather just project (of any kind) management. Thanks in advance. d

Installing Cent OS from a usb flash drive
by Jimmy Bradley 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I recently acquired a Fujitsu Lifebook 1610. Unfortunately, the machine was missing a lot of the stuff that would've come with it brand new, mainly the usb cdrom drive. Currently, I'm running Fedora on it, and I installed it using a usb flash drive with the help of a program called unetbootin(Probably not spelled right). to load the ISO onto the USB drive. I've successfully used the same program to load the Cent OS live cd onto a flash drive, and I've run it on the machine. Now, is there a way that I can install cent os onto the machine by way of the usb flash drive? I've tried the network install route, and didn't have any luck. Thanks Jim

CentOS5U2 waiting too long when ssh login to other linux servers
by Ryan J M 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

The waiting time is about 50s on my CentOS box now. "yum remove openssh* "and "yum install openssh*" can't make it right. "mv ~/.ssh{,.bak}" not works either. Here comes my tcpdump log, I am not an expert on SSH, Can anyone here get me out of this? Thanks Ryan [root@centos5u2 ~]# tcpdump -s 1520 -nn port 22 tcpdump: WARNING: peth0: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on

A while ago I looked into this and was told not to bother as it was a hack at best. Anyone shed any reliable info on creating a print server for windows nt -> vista clients both x86 and x46 for a few Canon and HP IP Printers. Would this be reliable, are there any caveats or issues to be aware of? Thanks! jlc

gdmgreeter and powersave
by David Fitzgerald 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

I have a bunch of workstations running CentOS 5.2. When the gdmgreeter is displayed, the monitor never blanks or powers off even though I have DPMS enabled in xorg.conf. When a user is logged in it works as expected. I Googled around and saw some references to this happening, but have not found a solution. Am I missing something obvious? The display adapters are Radeon 2400X's and use the most recent drivers from ATI. My users are students, and not very reliable in manually turning off the monitors when they are finished. Can anyone help me with this?

Re: [CentOS] How to check server kernel support 32 Gb RAM (X86,

The reason we did not use 64 bits O.S. due to we still have some problem run 64 bit ORACLE on X86_64. I have another question: since server we have is "SMP" how come it can show 32 GB RAM on application like "top" and "free"?

If NOT how can I change kernel to "hugeme"? Dare we ask why this isn't a 64bit server? using 32gb of memory on a processor architecture that can only directly address 4GB at a time is kind of brutal, unless this server is handling a rather large number of connection sessions at the same time. For instance, a 32bit database server will have a max of about 2.5GB of shared memory usable. to install the hugemem kernel, yum install kernel-hugemem reboot, and test this by selecting it in the grub menu, then adjust /boot/grub.conf to suit. read the release notes carefully on hugemem, its a very high overhead thing, as the kernel runs in a private memory space seperate from the applications, so all kernel<->user transfers are complex and slow. http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/release-notes/as-x86/

How to check server kernel support 32 Gb RAM (X86, CENTOS 4.7)??
by mcclnx mcc 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

we have CENTOS 4.7 (X86) on DELL server, I already put 32 GB RAM on it. I can use "top" or "free" to check memory and it did show 32 GB. I check REDHAT site and found it say: The "SMP" kernel supports a maximum of 16GB of main memory. Systems with more than 16GB of main memory use the "Hugemem" kernel. I use "uname -r" to check kernel and it show: # uname -r 2.6.9-78.0.13.ELsmp It did NOT show "Hugemem", does this server kernel support 32 GB or not? If NOT how can I change kernel to "hugeme"?

by Sean Waite 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

I am trying to upgrade Php 5.1 to 5.2, I have added a few repos for yum, but I end up getting two errors: Missing Dependency: libldap-2.3.so.0 is needed by package php-ldap Missing Dependency: liblber-2.3.so.0 is needed by package php-ldap I have openldap 2.4 installed, libldap-2.4.so.2.2.0 and liblber-2.4.so.2.2.0 are present. I know that I could link to these files correct? But would that break any compatibility? Any advice how I can proceed would be really helpful.

how to access encrypted EXT3 partition from Windows
by Rudi Ahlers 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi all, I know some may find this OT, so please ignore this if you think it's OT. I don't know any Linux-friendly Windows mailing lists / forums that will even bother with Linux related questions. I want to carry some data (client info, documents, photos, email, accounting stuff, etc) with me on a USB HDD, but want to encrypt it. I know one easy way to shared data between Windows & Linux is to save it on a FAT32 partition. But, I can't encrypt FAT32, so instead I'll format the HDD with EXT3 (probably on a LVM as well), and then encrypt it. I also know there are a few good tools for Widows to read EXT3 partitions, but I can't find one that will read encrypted EXT3 partitions (maybe I'm not searching the correct terms?). So, does anyone know how to access (read & write) to EXT3 from Windows? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Adobe Flash Install Woes
by Chuck 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

I am having a hell of a time getting adobe flash to work on a recent 5.2 install. >From rpm install: Running firefox as root -- I have verified there is a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins that points to the actual plugin located in /usr/lib/flash-plugins nada. SoI then copied the plugin directly into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and eliminated the symlink from the equation. nada. I then installed the plugin into the $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ directory of a normal user (and making sure everything was read/executable by that user). nada. At no time does the adobe flash pugin ever appear in the plugins panel when viewing Tools->Addons from within the browser. I see no errors or any logs of any kind getting generated anywhere. An rpm check of both firefox and the flash plugin return with no complaints. I see scads of posts on google regarding other adobe flash player woes but none of the solutions i've found so far work. Since most of the sites I require access to, even metalink, required adobe flash this is a show stopper for me. Thanks for any help, CC

Q about 5.3 qt and qgis
by Michael A. Peters 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Guess I'll find out soon enough ... In order to get qgis to build by RPM in CentOS 5.2 I had to update qt - but the shared library did not version - http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4423 Since the qt shared library did not version with the minor update to qt, my suspicion (though I don't know for sure as I didn't look at source) is that the minor version bump was a small bug fix that would have likely just been a patch in RHEL. Anyway, I am curious - is the version of qt in rhel/centos sufficient for qgis or does it need the same minor version bump? Anyone on the list build qgis on RHEL 5.3? If so, was the shipped qt library sufficient? If it is not, then I'm thinking the right way to build qgis may be to see if it *really* needs the minor update and patch the makefile if it doesn't (I usually don't like replacing vendor packages).

sylpheed email client oddity
by Frank Cox 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

With the Sylpheed email client: Compose a message Click the button to attach a file to that message Attach a file Save the message to draft Compose another message Click the button to attach a file to that message With Sylpheed 2.5.0 on Fedora 10 I see the directory containing the file that I attached when composing the first message, which is what I expect to see. With sylpheed-2.0.4-0.el5.rf on Centos 5, I see the Sylpheed draft folder. To attach another file from the original directory I have to navigate back there. I don't remember it doing that before. Have I screwed up a setting somewhere? I searched through both the Sylpheed preferences and the Gnome preferences and didn't see anything relevant. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

OT: PCI Slot Adapter for 2.5" HDD?
by Tim Nelson 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Greetings CentOS list! I do apologize in advance for the OT nature of this post. Since many of you have great experience with different hardware platforms, specialized systems, etc I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a 1U server for a personal project with only two hard drive bays in front. However, I have two PCI-E slots in the back that are unpopulated and two free SATA ports on the motherboard. I'd really like to find PCI slot bracket for mounting a 2.5" laptop HDD or something similar. Something like this would work if it was PCI-E and was readily available: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a-hard-disk-a-pci-slot,1061-3.html I also found a bracket system but its not exactly what I need... http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/WHEREVER%20PCI%20RACK.HTML Sooo, whether it's an active card that plugs into the PCI-E slot, or just a dumb bracket that holds a HDD drive, either would work. I appreciate any and all pointers you can lend. Again, I apologize for the OT nature of the post. --Tim

LifeKeeper vs RH/CentOS Cluster
by Kwan Lowe 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Hello All: I've configured a few instances of RedHat/CentOS clustering. For basic services such as web, dns, and LDAP it seems to work well. My basic configuration just uses the core services and a DRBD volume for the shared storage. We have some existing LifeKeeper clustered systems. I don't know much about them except that they use a similar hearbeat/shared storage solution. Has anyone here used both and can mention some pros/cons of each? In particular, is there anything that LifeKeeper provides that cannot be replicated via the RedHat/CentOS solution? Thanks all for any input.
