Guys, what is the best way of arranging the repos with regards to their priority? Any ideas, especially for all non base ones? /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo - priority = 1, 2 /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/kbs-extras.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/kbs-misc.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo How would we position dags repo?

Need to test serial port connection
by Anne Wilson 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

I recently bought a new UPS, and I'm attempting to use nut to monitor it. Following setup instructions everything seemed to go well until it came to testing the connection, which failed. There is just one serial connector on the computer, so I set it to monitor /dev/ttyS0. Either that is wrong, or communication is failing. I've been told to try minicom to monitor it, but I'm not familiar with minicom (or any similar app), so again, I may be wrong in the way I'm trying to use that. I was told that unconnecting the device, then re-connecting it should give me a raft of output to the terminal - I saw nothing. Could someone please give me idiot-level instructions on how to tell whether I'm connecting to the correct port, or whatever other information I need? Thanks Anne

nightly rsync has started to throw errors
by Ray Leventhal 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi all, I perform a nightly snapshot of /home to a USB attached drive scheduled via cron. The system is CentOS 5.2 and only gets attached to the internet periodically for updates, otherwise serves as a samba server to about 20 Windows clients. The rsync command being used is: rsync -av --delete /home/ /media/bkup320G/ and has been working well until a few days ago. Starting with a few days ago, my nightly rsync/cron emails included some errors as shown here: rsync: mkstemp "/media/bkup320G/cprcvs/c/Projects/WindowApps/DLL/HMRControlDLL/.CMDSettingsDialog.cpp,v.I5QnaM" failed: Read-only file system (30) rsync: failed to set times on "/media/bkup320G/cprcvs/c/Projects/WindowApps/DLL/PSIControlDLL": Read-only file system (30) There are multiple issuances of these errors for different files....some files are written just fine. Where there are errors, its always the same Read-only file system (30). Output of df and mount show all filesystems as (rw): # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 136838136 5518276 124256720 5% / /dev/sdc1 283783548 167456104 101679380 63% /home /dev/sdd1 283783548 4648856 264486628 2% /home/905 /dev/sda1 101086 31745 64122 34% /boot tmpfs 452084 0 452084 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdg1 307663800 171859328 120176040 59% /media/bkup320G # mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sdc1 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdd1 on /home/905 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) /dev/sdg1 on /media/bkup320G type ext3 (rw) Googling has not been fruitful in this issue and I'm curious what might be the issue. I'd originally thought it might be drive failure on the external (destination) drive, but changing that produced the same errors. We typically backup about 165G overnight, so initial write to a new drive takes a LONG time. Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA, -Ray

Anyone successfully using CentOS 5 and a Keyspan USA-19HS USB-Serial Adapter?
by Barry L. Kline 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I occasionally need to connect to a serial device and in the past have used minicom and the Keyspan USA-19HS adapter. It has worked flawlessly. Once I upgraded, I could never seem to make this work. The kernel recognizes the adapter, it gets properly assigned as /dev/ttyUSB0, and minicom seems to transmit data to it (as evidenced by the green LED on the device that flashes whenever I hit a keystroke. The problem is, it never returns any data. If I use VMWare to boot up WinXP I can access anything connected to the adapter, but it grinds me to have to boot up 'doze for that purpose. This morning I ran into the problem again and did some googling to see anyone else had this problem. I found this entry in http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/old/patch-2.6.20-git4… Date: Wed Jan 3 15:36:25 2007 +0100 fix for bugzilla #7544 (keyspan USB-to-serial converter) At least the Keyspan USA-19HS USB-to-serial converter supports two different configurations, one where the input endpoints have interrupt transfer type and one where they are bulk endpoints. The default UHCI configuration uses the interrupt input endpoints. The keyspan driver, OTOH, assumes that the device has only bulk endpoints (all URBs are initialized by calling usb_fill_bulk_urb in keyspan.c/ keyspan_setup_urb). This causes the interval field of the input URBs to have a value of zero instead of one, which 'accidentally' worked with Linux at least up to 2.6.17.11 but stopped to with 2.6.18, which changed the UHCI support code handling URBs for interrupt endpoints. The patch below modifies to driver to initialize its input URBs either as interrupt or as bulk URBs, depending on the transfertype contained in the associated endpoint descriptor (only tested with the default configuration) enabling the driver to again receive data from the serial converter. Greg K-H reworked the patch. Signed-off-by: Rainer Weikusat <rweikusat(a)sncag.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh(a)suse.de> As you'll note, the keyspan stopped working at 2.6.18, which is the kernel used by CentOS 5. My question is whether or not this bug still exists in CentOS5 or if someone is successfully using the Keyspan with CentOS5. Thanks!

Firefox plugins gone (but only for one user)
by Rob Kampen 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi gurus I have a CentOS 5.2 current x86_64 that has Thunderbird and Firefox working well for one user account (my wife) but will not play nice for my account. I have uninstalled thunderbird and firefox (via yum) and re-installed - no change. I have just wiped the .mozilla folder and started afresh, but it still shows no plugins, yet the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ has the libflashplayer.so link etc. How does all this stuff get hooked up. I have previously installed firefox direct from their site and not used the CentOS supplied rpm, but now that RH say the light and provides a current version, I use the yum process to get my firefox installed. Everything was working a week or so ago, but when I tried fixing things yesterday, all went rapidly pear shaped. In firefox I pressed the Check Now button under Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > System Defaults and now its gone and lost all my plugins Any idea how to get them back? Looking on the support.mozilla.com/firefox site provides little linux help and seems oriented to windoze users. Appreciate some insight from those who know how this distro hangs it all together.

Hi. I had to update the BIOS of a Silicon Image 3512A Serial ATA controller. I'm not using RAID. When I run the updater program (updflash.exe), it asks me to choose flash memory from a list, something like: AMD Am29F010B (1 Megabit), AMD Am29LV01B (1 Megabit), etc. How can I find out which is flash memory of the controller? Thanks Marcelo

xen on CentOS 4.7
by Agile Aspect 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi - has anyone gotten Xen on CentOS 4.7 to run successfully using Windows XP as the guest OS? I tried VirtualBox but it doesn't appear to work (at least for Windows XP) for a CentOS 4.7 on a Dell Precision WorkStation 390 (quad.) In fact, it pretty easy to crash the machine using the command line interface. There's blurb on the wiki Move a native CentOS4 installation into a Xen DomU but that appears to be Xen running on CentOS 5 install of Xen. I've installed the package kernel-xen. I'm new to Xen and I'm not familiar with the jargon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Article. VI. Clause 3 of the constitution of the United States states: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

GNU Screen - emacs mode frustration
by Sean Carolan 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

I like Gnu screen, but the choice of CTRL-A as the command sequence is extremely unfortunate. Like many other bash users, I use CTRL-A to get back to the beginning of the line (emacs editing mode). How do you all get around this problem? Also, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to get mouse scrolling to work when reviewing terminal history in screen. It's a pain in the arse to CTRL-A then ESC to be able to scroll back.

package manager CentOS
by Raghu Narasimhan 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi folks, I have some doubts with regards a Python module called paramiko (used to automate ssh related stuff) 1. Does Paramiko 1.7.2 and 1.6.4 work with CentOS 4 2. If yes, what is the exact 'yum' command to install paramiko on CentOS 4? I have tried all possible ones without success. yum install paramiko yum install python-paramiko(with and without version numbers) python-paramiko.noarch *[rUSER@HOST]# yum search paramiko Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Searching Packages: Setting up repositories extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository priority protections No Matches found * Installing it without yum throws dependency problems which are never ending : starting with python-crypto and python(abi) - which I am unable to find; which will no doubt lead to other dependencies. Is there any change that has to be made to the yum repository to point it to look in a different place? 3. Alternatively, I also have apt-get on the CentOS box - can you tell me some repos that I can add for apt-get as well? Thanks, -- Raghu Narasimhan raghu.united(a)gmail.com

JOB: Permanent Database Architect (MySQL preferable) in Reading, Berkshire
by jt＠camalyn.org 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

JOB: hi List, My name is James and I'm an open source recruiter currently working with a client in Reading (Berkshire, UK) who are looking to recruit a database architect (experience with MySQL is not necessarily what the client are looking for, although the database architect should certainly be familiar with MySQL. What’s more important is that the DBA should have experience designing large, replicated, globally distributed databases built for performance). The DB Architect will work closely with the development and operations teams - both of which are growing parts of the clients overall business. Whilst the developers have had some involvement with capacity planning and performance monitoring of the live system in conjunction with the Operations team this responsibility will move entirely to the database architect over time. This isn't a development role so the db architect wouldn't be taking over the writing of all SQL or anything (which would be impractical in any case) but they would be expected to use their expertise in advising the developers how best to tune their code. Stored procedures are not currently used but they will probably look at it in the future and this again would be something that the architect would certainly get involved in as well as requirement to revisit existing SQL with a view to perhaps rewrite and/ or optimise. They are running a mixture of MySQL 4.1 and 5.0. They don't run enterprise as they always aim to employ talented staff so they can support everything as far as possible in house. This goes for the OS as well, which is why they use CentOS and not RHEL. Although as part of the role's remit will be to find new opportunities to exploit new features or better use existing ones there are no immediate plans to upgrade to 5.1 as they are quite happy for early adopters to find and fix the bugs before they make any decision on it. Currently there are no specific bottlenecks or db problems as such, the focus is changing in such a way that they need to be able to store more data and consequently they need to have the architect in place. However, although there are no specific issues, there is also a focus on continual improvement of what they have. As with all IT systems, there is always something that can be optimised. Identifying potential future bottlenecks and avoiding them is also part of the role. In terms of the number of high transactional servers - which would be the definite focus - we are looking at high 30s. They do use MySQL replication but not clustering at this time. If anybody is interested in discussing this role with me further (including salary) please contact me off list using james(a)camalyn.org Please understand that I did also send an email requesting permission to send this e-mail to the Centos list owners - but have had no reply or acknowledgement. All the best, JAMES >> to learn more about Camalyn please visit http://www.camalyn.org

Thunderbird and Firefox
by Rob Kampen 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

I have two CentOS plus x86_64 workstations that as far as possible I am trying to keep the same. One for home, one for my office. I have the 32 bit Firefox installed along with a number of plugins and have just found that firefox no longer plays any shockwave content on my work machine, I have tried disabling the various quicktime, mplayer, realplayer plugins but still no go. Removed firefox and re-installed (via yumex) still no go........ Any other things I can do? Then on my home machine I have lost the ability to click on a http:// link within Thunderbird and have it open the link in Firefox. This works fine on the office machine. It is annoying to have to copy and paste the link to get it to work. I have other CentOS machines (x86) where all this works just fine...... Any pointers to get me heading in the right direction? thanks Rob

Is the NFS lockd bug fixed ?
by Alain Terriault 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi, I notice other users reporting problems with NFS lockd and was under the impression the problem was solve with "kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5". I am runing x86_64 versions of "kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plus" ( i need XFS) on my nfs server and "kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5" on my clients. I constantly get this error "lockd: server 192.168.10.2 not responding, timed out" Does the most recent "centos_x64" kernel has the lockd patch ? maybe my problem is elsewhere, I never had problem with NFS before .. thanks, alain

Samba Permissions - Sanity check
by Tim Nelson 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Greetings list- I have a Samba-centric question to ask. I have a particular user who claims Samba has the ability to allow users to create/edit/modify existing files of a share but NOT delete them. To my knowledge, the aforementioned permissions require the user to have write access to the share which *ALSO* gives them the ability to delete files as well. The Samba server is nothing special, simply the latest Samba running on CentOS 5, ext3 filesystem. I've been around and around on this topic and I'm just hoping someone can give me a little sanity by confirming 'yay or nay' whether this is possible or not. --Tim

why no /dev/loop0 in install chroot system?
by Isaac Hailperin 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi, just out of curiosity: Within a kickstart postinstall script, I tried to do a loop mount, which failed. It turns out that there is no /dev/loop0 (no /dev/loop<x>). After creating it with mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0 everything works fine. Now this script executes in the chroot system. This is the system on the hd. A plain chroot system should not have any /dev or /proc mounted. But actually, it does: + cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 /dev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 /dev/pts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /tmp ramfs rw 0 0 none /tmp/ramfs ramfs rw 0 0 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 /tmp/loop0 /mnt/runtime squashfs ro 0 0 /tmp/sda1 / ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 /tmp/sda3 /home ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 /tmp/sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 /tmp/proc /proc proc rw 0 0 /dev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 So I assume that centos kindly does a bind mount of these pseudofilesystems (?) from the install system for me, so that the chroot system is a fully functional system. (Is that true?). If that is so, why is there no /dev/loop0? Isaac

Marvell Yukon 8056?
by Tim Nelson 23 Feb '09

Greetings list- I've got a server 'in the mail' and I see now on the specsheet that it has Marvell Yukon 8056 NICs onboard. Since I cannot seem to find a HCL for Centos 5 or RHEL5 to help verify, I'd like to know if it works 'out of the box' on CentOS 5.x or is there additional work to make it function (properly)? My searching has revealed that there are in fact two different drivers for Marvell hardware... sky2 and sk8lin? Any pointers, tips, experiences, etc appreciated. Thanks! --Tim

Recover rpm DB corrupted by disk failure?
by Bart Schaefer 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Over the weekend my workstation (still on CentOS 3) started showing SMART errors, so we shut it down and moved everything onto a new drive. On reboot, the RPM database reports as corrupted and "rpm --rebuilddb" segmentation faults. Is there any reasonable way to recover from this, short of a complete reinstall? The machine is otherwise up though it's quite likely some files have been lost.

GNU Screen Macro?

Anyone know if this is possible with GNU screen? I would like to have a macro or keyboard shortcut whereby the following actions are performed: 1. Open new screen window (CTRL-A C) 2. ssh to some $host 3. Rename current screen as $host (CTRL-A A $host) I can see that typing "screen" while within a screen session opens a new window, however I'm not clear on how to automate steps 2 and 3.

What broke my box ??
by Michael A. Peters 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

CentOS 5.2 64-bit I needed some space. I have a hard drive that had an old Linux install I don't use anymore. So I edited /etc/fstab and removed the entries for it (entries I only needed so I could get data off it). Then I edited /boot/grub.conf and removed the lines to boot it. Then I rebooted. It booted but a bunch of services failed because libstdc++ could not be found. I logged into a console and tried to verify libstdc++ and that failed, I guess rpm depends upon it. touch /forcefsck && shutdown -r now After booting - no fsck errors, but libstdc++ error when starting some services. cd /usr/lib64 - the shared library was there. I looked in /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ just in case for some idiotic reason I had added a library path on the other drive - nope. I then ran /sbin/ldconfig - and then rpm --verify worked. rebooted and all services started. So - clearly the library cache got borked and needed to be rebuilt. The question is what borked it? Anyone seen this before?

new user - with questions
by Michael Klinosky 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hello. I've been using Fedora since about the FC6 era, for home use. I don't like the 6 month upgrade (or re-install) concept, and I don't need the latest & greatest versions of apps. So, CentOS sounds enticing. But, I have some questions. I found 2 centos websites (primary and wiki), and checked the forum - but couldn't find answers to these concerns. Is CentOS basically like Fedora? (Well, except for the updates every 6 months!) As in 'look & feel', underlying operations, etc. (Btw, I know about removing upstream branding.) Any caveats? Meaning, does it use the same repositories that Fedora does? Are there any major or significant differences? I should just go for the most recent package (5.2) - yes? About how old are the apps? (A few months?) How are application updates handled? 5.2 has firefox-3.0-0.beta5.6.el5. I saw (on the Firefox website) that 3.0.6 is out. Will an app update get that version, or something just a bit older? (btw, I know about backporting.) Does centos use Plymouth? I have a somewhat recent computer (about 3 years old) that has an intel chipset (which Plymouth can't handle yet, and so it needs xdriver=vesa during install). Michael, in Pennsylvania (USA)
