new software raid installs
by Jerry Geis 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I have noticed that when I do software raid installed (RAID1) that I reboot and one of the first things it says is md1 is not in sync doing background reconstruction... md0 is my /root partition md1 is my /home partition why would md1 not be in sync after an install. Jerry

Xen HVM and tap:aio
by Lane Bryson 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there is doing tap:aio disk devices on a Xen HVM vm with any success. Please let me know if you are, and perhaps your version info and a config file snippet. I've posted this to the xen-users list, and what I'm trying to do seems to be correct, works on Ubuntu, Debian, and XenSource; but it doesn't work on CentOS. Here's the snippet from my config. More info in the message below: builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" acpi = 0 apic = 0 device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" disk = [ "tap:aio:/xen/ausmsit05/ausmsit05.raw,hda,w", "tap:aio:/xen/iso/win2003r2_std_32bit_disk1of2.iso,hdc :cdrom,r" ] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: - <debaan(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 2:27 PM Subject: HVM and tap:aio? To: xen-users(a)lists.xensource.com Hello, I'm not able to use tap:aio disk definitions with my HVM domU's. Is this supposed to work on this version of Xen, or am I doing something wrong? I've tried everything I can think of. file: works, but not tap:aio: , and I understand that file: will cause OOMkiller if using NFS mounts and is deprecated. Likewise, tap:aio: for cdrom does not allow me to boot off of cdrom; file: does work fine. Furthermore, any time I use tap:aio, the bochs bios of the hvm domU shows the hard disk size as 0 MBytes. Any disk definition that I use that has tap:aio: gives the result either (if tap:aio:/xen/foo/foo.img,xvda,w): Booting from Hard Disk...

lmsensors support in net-snmp
by Andrew Hearn 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hello, I'm wanting to use cacti* to graph my motherboard fan/temperature/voltage readings. I have sensors working and it giving me the temperatures ets, but it seems that net-snmp needs to be compiled with sensors/lmsensors support. Is there a centos 5 rpm for net-snmp that support this? Thanks. *http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=11590

When do you know you need the "-m multiport" option? I see examples with -dport xx:xxx for example that sometimes use it and sometimes don't? I have read the man page and see what "-m multiport" requires, but don't see the requirement involving its use. Thanks! jlc

buildinstall problems
by treed＠ultraviolet.org 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hello all! I am trying to make a stripped down CentOS 5.2 distro which will all fit on a single CD containing just the base and a few other packages I need. I run buildinstall like so: sudo /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --debug --version 5 --product CentOS --comps /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/repodata/comps.xml --release My-CentOS-5.2 --prodpath CentOS /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64 and when I do so I run into the following errors: Expanding packages... retrieving timezones Creating nsswitch.conf Creating libuser.conf Creating fedorakmod.conf Creating multipath.conf Fixing up /etc/man.config to point into /mnt/sysimage Running mkfontdir...

I've googled and the closest thing I can find to my problem is this: http://osdir.com/ml/redhat.anaconda.devel/2002-07/msg00010.html in that he says the bin dirs are missing also but he says one is a file and I don't have anything named bin there at all. He also gets some different errors as a result of bin being missing it seems. My repository contains (among many others) the following packages which would seem to be relevant: anaconda-11.1.2.113-1.el5.centos.2.x86_64.rpm anaconda-runtime-11.1.2.113-1.el5.centos.2.x86_64.rpm busybox-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm busybox-anaconda-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm busybox-anaconda-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm And while I'm here, another question: What might cause this selinux error which gets generated (as seen above): libsemanage.semanage_install_sandbox: genhomedircon returned error code 1. If I point this same buildinstall command at a CentOS repo that contains all of the rpm's that CentOS normally ships with the build proceeds without error. No missing bin and no selinux error. So I must be missing an rpm. But I'm not sure which one and I need to get this paired down to a single CD so I can't just dump them all in. Thanks for any help you can provide! -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org

Problem with gnome with file type recognition.
by ArcosCom Linux User 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I have a problem with some file recognition with gnome (CentOS 5.2). I have some DVD with AVI files I burn some time ago (and the files were checked and the DVD are fine), and curiously only the 3 or 4 first files were recognized as AVI files, but the rest not!. I another times, appears to recognize all files, but from some days to now I have this problem (specially with AVI files). The recognized files are played fine with xine, mplayer or vlc, but the rest not, the players don't know how to play them (very courious this issue). Do anyone know how to solve this? Could be any system component that wasn't working fine? (as any daemon, or the DVD reader) Anyone know how to test my DVD writer/reader or any system/gnome components that could be missconfigured or not working? Regards

Various OpenGL apps crashing in CentOS 5?
by Rubin 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi All, I'm experiencing odd behaviour with various OpenGL apps I'm (trying to) use. I have an IBM Thinkpad X60s with the Intel GMA chipset, the 945GM to be precise. I have glxinfo/glxgears working normally, disabled composite in xorg.conf and everything seems fine. However, there are a few applications that I use that show rather strange behaviour that I think is related to the same underlying (as yet unidentified) problem. Here is my list: * Google Earth 4.3 Installed in /opt/googleearth. Starts, but with extremely slow performance. Unusable, Closing the window takes about 10 seconds. * OpenOffice 2.4.0 Installed in /opt/openoffice. Failed to start when using the "intel" or "i810" Xorg driver. "vesa" driver works fine.

These are just examples. I was trying to do "yum provides xf86Modes.h" it returns no matches also. Jerry

loading modules across reboots
by Joseph L. Casale 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I have a CentOS 5.2 install on a machine with the Marvell nic issue outlined in http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2612. I have a few questions regarding this, what does the # echo "11ab 4364" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/sky2/new_id line do? Obviously it starts right after but what specifically is the "11ab 4364" part? Also, how do I get this to load across reboots? I have the alias and module in my modprobe.conf but that is not enough. Thanks, jlc

When I run this command on centos 5.2 it just sets there nothing ever happens. Any ideas? I have ran it on two centos 5.2 machines. I can control C out. I am running it as root and a normal user both. Same thing - just sits there. jerry

Unable to install CentOS 5.2 on New HP Intel Core 2 Quad
by Michael Peterson 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Our new lab has HP Intel Core 2 Quad systems with DVD/CDRW and SATA. I can provide the model number if needed. They stop on kernel startup when trying to boot the CentOS 5.2 boot CD. It is during ACPI. I have tried linux noprobe and linux pci=noacpi and linux noprobe pci=noacpi. I still cannot get to the first install screen. Fedora 10 Live will not but up either. I am using Fedora 9 from Live and DVD Install to teach a fall class and it works fine. Would CentOS 5.3 possibly work once it is released?

Strategy for using CentOS on laptops in an NIS environment
by Alfred von Campe 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

We use NIS (ypbind) and Kerberos at work for all our Linux and Unix systems. Home directories are mounted via autofs from an NIS map. Everything works just fine as long as all network resources are available (however, things turn ugly when the NIS servers are not reachable). Some users also want to start using laptops and bring them home or on trips to continue working while not at the office. Of course, their home directories won't be available and neither will other network resources. Creating local accounts with the same UIDs and local home directories solves most of the problems. However, I can't create a local account with useradd while ypbind is running because it complains that that account already exists. Is there a better way to create a local account then "service ypbind stop; useradd...; service ypbind start"? What are other strategies that you use to deal with off- network use in an NIS environment? Alfred

Centos 5.2, Firefox 3, and IPv6

I am doing some testing and it almost seems as if Firefox 3.0.1 that comes with Centos 5.2 is NOT working with IPv6. Anyone know for sure? I am getting weird hang behaviours and other just not working things.

nsswitch.conf, ldap, local groups problem
by Mark Hennessy 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I'm using CentOS 5.0,5.1, and 5.2 on several systems where I'm seeing this problem. Hello, I'm seeing a weird problem that perhaps someone has run into with groups. First, a little background. I was made aware of a problem with CentOS 5 where if the nscd password cache is clear and someone tries to log in if there is no network connection with an LDAP account that it just hangs. Even worse, if the machine is rebooted and it continues to have no network connection, even root login doesn't work. I messed around with nsswitch.conf to fix this problem. I altered these lines as so: passwd: files [!NOTFOUND=return] ldap shadow: files [!NOTFOUND=return] ldap group: files [!NOTFOUND=return] ldap and the problem seemed to go away. But now, here's the weird stuff: I have defined in my local /etc/groups file this line: group1:x:100:apache group2:x:101:apache 'getent group groupname' shows the right info: # getent group group1 group1:x:100:apache # sudo -u apache bash $ groups apache I revert back to my old config: # sudo -u apache bash $ groups apache group1 group2 Also, something else that's interesting. If I do this: passwd: files [!NOTFOUND=return] ldap shadow: files [!NOTFOUND=return] ldap group: ldap [NOTFOUND=continue] files and reboot, udev segfaults and the system freezes up after a few more seconds. Starting udev: /sbin/start_udev: line 43: 519 Segmentation fault "$@" $ARGS /sbin/start_udev: line 201: 523 Segmentation fault /sbin/udevd -d Wait timeout. Will continue in the background.[FAILED] Any advice?

System goes into read only mode - not the same as posted earlier
by Stephen Moccio 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hello all, I’m at my wits end trying to resolve this. We are running centos 4.5 on Intel hardware. Dual SCSI disk drives mirrored on an LSI Logic controller. Every once in a while and not always on the same server and not only on the local SCSI Drives. System A – Dual internal drives on /dev/sda System B – Dual internal drives on /dev/sdc with a DAS on /dev/sda. Each of these systems experienced a kernel mptbase error and placed /dev/sda into read only mode. Note again the /dev/sda isn’t always local. For system A – remounting in ro mode didn’t work and the system had to be rebooted. File system check and bad block checks showed nothing and when the system was rebooted – it was fine. A portion of the messages log is below. I would appreciate any ideas or directions.

RADVD address timeouts
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I am using RADVD to assign IPv6 addresses. It works for 'static' devices. I want it to work for devices that move to different networks without having to restart the network on those devices. So if I have a notebook on network Lab1 getting prefix 2607:7:4:1::64 and moves to network Lab2 where RADVD advertises prefix 2607:7:4:2::/64, I want the host to switch to the new address. This is NOT for MobileIP. Right now I get the new global address, but the old address never goes away. I have tried setting AdvPreferredLifetime, but that has not helped.

OT - Offline uncorrectable sectors
by Lorenzo Quatrini 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

I have few disk that have offline uncorrectables sectors; I found on this page how to identify the sectors and force a write on them to trigger the relocation of bad sectors on the disk: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/BadBlockHowTo.txt My question is: since I'm too lazy to follow all the procedure, do you think that a force rewrite of the full disk would work? Eg. "dd if=/dev/sda pf=/dev/sda bs=512" Shoudl this be done at runlevel 1 or offline or I can do it without too many worries, since I'm reading and rewriting the same data on the disk? TIA and sorry for the OT Lorenzo Quatrini

27 Aug '08

I want to change the contents of my /etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6 and NOT restart the network. Is there a way to do this??? I know about ifup and ifdown for interfaces, but what about routing (and IP6 at that).

Hi List, Centos 5(.2) ships with dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5 and logwatch-7.3-6.el5 However the shipped logwatch is not aware of dovecot 1.x meaning none of the log entries (var/log/maillog) are processed at all. Should I file a bug report on this? Upstream? cheers Henry

Hi all Does anyone know what causes this error? I have setup a local CentOS repository, with mrepo, and can succesfully use it for updates & installation of just about anything.

I am wondering if it is possible to just grab the specialix.c file and compile that one module (not the entire kernel) and of course load that module and have it work. Is that possible? Jerry

Slow Xen on CentOS 5.2?
by Eduardo Grosclaude 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hello, Should Xen still work on CentOS 5.2 with 1GB RAM? On my Toshiba Satellite notebook Xen performed reasonably well as of CentOS 5.0. After I updated the system, Xen takes an unusable startup time. Every task at boot, since nash is fired, seems to take increasingly longer. I can't seem to find any references to this problem. Where should I look first? Thanks in advance -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

virt-install error: "virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400"
by Graeme West 26 Aug '08

Hi there, I've been happily installing VMs in CentOS 5.2's Xen implementation using virt-manager. However, my latest attempt to use the install wizard in virt-manager failed when I got to the networking screen. The 'forward' button was unresponsive, and I was unable to proceed. I checked the virt-manager logs, and saw this appearing immediately after I tried to proceed: /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log: [Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] ERROR (virt-manager:132) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 294, in forward if(self.validate(notebook.get_current_page()) != True): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 974, in validate vm = self.connection.vmm.lookupByName(name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 646, in lookupByName if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainLookupByName() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400 None There was also a lot of this in the main system log (1-2 messages per second): [Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] DEBUG (connection:580) Couldn't fetch domain id 3; it probably went away So I tried to use virt-install on the shell instead, but got much the same error: [root@optimus swadmin]# virt-install --hvm --name=zurich.gcal.ac.uk --ram=2048 --file=/var/lib/xen/images/zurich.gcal.ac.uk.img --vnc --vcpus=2 --cdrom=/home/swadmin/software/OpenSolaris/sol-nv-b93-x86-dvd.iso --network=bridge:xenbr0 Starting install... virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400 Domain installation may not have been successful.

screen not sourcing .bashrc
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi everyone, I use the "screen" command from time to time and what i would still have to figure out how to do is for it to be able to source .bashrc and read my user-defined configuration (aliases for example). I have already added the "source /root/.bashrc" line on /root/.screenrc but it doesn't seem to be working. Would anyone know how this should work? Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

Re: [CentOS] RH's servers breached
by Scott Beardsley 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

> What's the point on this for us, CentOS users ? I'd like to know if CentOS has been affected by RH's compromise. Can someone please comment? AFAIK, CentOS builds from RHEL SRPMs right? So as Rui mentioned the script that RH provided is useless. They do give the version info of the compromised packages: # The signed tampered packages were: # # openssh-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.24 for i386, x86_64 architecture # openssh-3.9p1-9.el4 for i386, x86_64 architecture # openssh-4.3p2-26 for x86_64 architecture # openssh-4.3p2-26.el5 for x86_64 architecture Of course I have all of these on my local CentOS mirror right now. It would be nice to know if I'm serving compromised packages. RH doesn't mention whether the SRPMs were compromised. If they were I suspect CentOS is affected also. Thanks in advance, Scott

Re: Re: Problems with perl upgrading CentOS 5.1 to 5.2 [SOLVED?]
by ArcosCom Linux User 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Taking a view into perl packages (classes) needed by spamassassin (qmail-toaster package), I saw that there are a script that install the classes using CPAN. I discovered that CPAN installed packages goes into a diferent directory that distro ones. The workaround (solution) I found is rename this directory and install the needed packages manually from rpmforge repository. All appears to be working now. The steps have been: 1) Rename /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl. 2) Update perl packages. 3) Install the needed clases as packages (from rpmforge) instead from CPAN. 4) Reinstall packages broken because they install manually any propietary perl classes into the system (vmware-server for example).

Yum corrupting RPMs
by Tom Lanyon 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi list, Trying to upgrade someone's workstation here to 5.2 (was installed from a 5.0 DVD I think). The RPMs on our internal mirror are in-tact and pass a 'rpm -- checksig' test, yet when I run a 'yum upgrade' a large portion of them are corrupted and fail the GPG check. This seems to be isolated to yum, as downloading the RPM directly via FTP with wget or lftpget provides an RPM that *does* pass the GPG check. I have upgraded key packages to the latest version (eg. yum upgrade 'yum*') and tried again to no avail. Anyone seen this before? Thanks, Tom -- Tom Lanyon Systems Administrator NetSpot Pty Ltd

Second Xen NIC not being recognized?
by David Dyer-Bennet 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

I've got a Xen domU running Centos 5.2 (dom0 is also Centos 5.2) with two NICs configured. Both NICs show up in the Xen hardware details display. Looking at dmesg output from rebooting the domU, I see both eth0 and eth1 appearing there. But network configuration only knows about eth0, the one that was installed originally (eth1 was added later). There's options to create another NIC in network configuration, but "xen virtual ethernet" isn't one of the hardware types I can choose, and choosing the default doesn't give me anything that works. Should I try reinstalling the domU with the NIC already in place? But even if that works -- shouldn't it be possible to add a piece of hardware to a system and have it recognized on reboot? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b(a)dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info

OT: Google Earth, v.4.3.7284.3916 (beta) on CentOS 5.2 (32 bit)
by Lanny Marcus 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

The version of Google Earth I installed last December was working great this morning. Then, I decided to update to the latest version and when I tried to do that with yum, I didn't have the right name for the package (now, I think it may be "google-earth"), so I downloaded the file (GoogleEarthLinux.bin) and installed with "sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin" The latest version is now installed and I can launch it, without any problem, but, it does not seem to work......... :-) Does anyone have this version of Google Earth working properly on CentOS 5.2 (32 bit)? If so, did you need to do something extra, to get it to work? TIA!

(Global/Any) setting for "show hidden files?"
by MHR 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Is there a setting somewhere in the "global" arena of CentOS that controls whether or not "hidden" (.prefixed) files are displayed in file lists? I've noticed that, at home, primarily, when I use any file access dialogue window, particularly in OOo and Evolution, all my "hidden" files are shown along with the "normal" ones. (This used to be true in SeaMonkey also, but there's a way to configure that out and I've activated that, or I'd be seeing them there, too.) I made mention of this on the OOo users list and it was suggested that there might be a "higher" level control involved, but they didn't know what. I occasionally turn on the "View hidden files" option in nautilus, but I always return it to the default (off) setting because, in general, I neither want nor need to see them, which is at least one of the main reasons why _I_ "hide" them, and many are hidden by default. I thought that it might be something to do with installing the 2.4.1 version of OOo with the nautilus option turned on, which I don't know whether I did or not, but that wouldn't affect Evolution as well. Any ideas? Thanks. mhr

LVM not removing LV
by Mag Gam 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

I am using RHEL 5.1 with custom kernel. I have a LV I am trying to remove and its keep complaining its open. I have unmounted the filesystem, lsof shows nothing, fuser shows nothing. I am certain a reboot will fix it, but I don't know why this occurs. Can anyone shed some light on this? Are there some other LVM hacks I can use for this? TIA

syslinux and isolinux
by Jerry Geis 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi I copied the centos 5.2 x86_64 DVD to a USB pen drive formatted for FAT32. I then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 to get it to boot. I mounted it, and did cp isolinux/vmlinuz . cp isolinux/isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg the setup the MBR. THe device booted but I got an error message about unknown command in the syslinux.cfg file. Isnt syslinux and isolinux compatible - they are in the same package? All these commands below look correct. Did I do something wrong trying to get a USB pen drive to boot to install linux from.

Missing fonts for tightvnc
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

You would think installing via yum would handle dependencies, but perhaps fonts are not managed like dependencies..... Anyway, I installed tightvnc to test out its IPv6 support. Installed ok (after I erased regular vnc). But when I tried to start it, I got 5 warnings about: Font directory '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc' not found - ignoring (then the same message for Speedo, Type1, 75dpi, and 100dpi). Then a fatel server error about: could not open default fount 'fixed' So I looked in the repos (curtesy of yumex) and did find a few 75dpi a 100dpi fonts, but there seemed to be a lot of these two. I installed a ocuple of them and tried again. Got the same errors. So how do I fix this one?

Problems with perl upgrading CentOS 5.1 to 5.2
by ArcosCom Linux User 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi, I'm having problems with perl. I'm receivings this e-mails from logwatch everyday and appears to be a problem with perl. I explain a bit before expose the errors that I received: I tried to download all perl* packages, uninstall the repeated ones and reinstall all packages where installed. I need some help to try to solve this problem, because is a production server and I can't uninstall many working packages that depends on perl* ones. I read about similar problem in CentOS forums, with no sucess. Many thanks to all!!!

Being as a Windows geek tho, I consider Linux as a more powerful server operating system than Windows. When I saw OS comparison at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/compare/linux/server-security.mspx I was shocked! Showed it to a friend and he felt like being brainwashed :D lol. What do you fellows think about this? Thanks.
