why yum cannot find lighttpd?
by hce 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hi, I tried to install lighttpd in CentOS 5.2, but yum list lighttpd returned an error of "no matching packages to list". Should it be installed from source tarball? Thank you. Kind Regards, Jim

nfs cannot see mount points on other machine
by Kai Schaetzl 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

I'm having a bit of a problem with what I can "see" over nfs. I have two machines that nfs their root to each other and it seems to work. However, I now found out that some of the root directories that are listed are "fake" ones. A comparison of the root on both machines shows that some directories are the same and I can access those files on the other machine. However, there are some directories that are different. That is true for all the "special" directories like dev, proc, sys (which makes some sense), but also for directories that are mount points on the other machine. Does nfs not give me access to those mount points? Do I have to create a second nfs mount to that machine which mounts only that mount point? Or do I need some parameter to mount these mount points under the normal mount? What's weird is that if I create a file in these "fake" directories I can do that and it's listed like it actually were created on the other machine. But it gets created on *this* machine. When I then unmount, it's gone (like the whole nfs mount) and when I remount it's back. Where is it actually getting created and how can I remove it? Is there some nfs cache that holds it?

Pidgin problem on 5.2
by fred smith 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Having a problem with Pidgin that may have come after the 5.2 upgrade. I don't use pidgin daily, but the last time I used it (a week or two ago) it was fine. Now, when clicking the icon nothing visible happens. When I open an xterm and run it from there I get this: $ pidgin libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files and the terminal does not return to a prompt. there is no visible window for Pidgin, but parts of it may be running, as I heard the sound that (I think) means "buddy comes online". running "ps ax | grep -y pidgin" returns one process, so it's not entirely kaput. Anyone else seem this, or anyone have suggestions? Oh, also, I've recently enabled "desktop effects". I think I'll disable that and see if it helps. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------

system-auth.rpmnew
by Kai Schaetzl 30 Jun '08

The upgrade to 5.2 creates /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew. I see that /etc/pam.d/system-auth actually is a symlink to system-auth-ac. Is it recommended to replace that symlink with the rpmnew file?

xorg and backlight
by Andrej Moravcik 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hi all, I have found one problem after upgrading to CentOS 5.2 x86 on my HP Compaq nx7010 laptop. When I close and open lid, backlight is not turned on again. I can see my desktop, but the only thing I can do is press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X11. Then the backlight is restored. xorg.conf is generic, created by installation process. I use ATI proprietary driver 8.28.08 (the last which support Mobility Radeon 9200). I would appreciate any hint or help.

spam filtering with centos 5.2
by John R Pierce 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

In the past I've used a combination of spamhaus combined RBL's and Spamassassin with Mailscanner as my spam recipe, but this stopped working very well for me well over a year ago. As many of the users of the couple small/personal mail servers I run are NOT technical people, and use POP to read their mail, 'training' spamassassin is difficult at best. Once upon a time, using the Rules Du Jour scripts from the SARES project worked pretty well, but that has been shut down, and really hasn't been functional in over a year. I've just rebuilt a friends mail server with centos 5.2 (it was running FC3 or something before) and would like to setup them up with a decent anti-spam recipe that doesn't require extensive tinkering or training. does anyone have a good recipe for this? Ideally I'd like something purely RPM based that doesn't require extensive configuration and tuning. I've never setup razor before, how well does that work if the mail users aren't in a position to feed it training data?

New yum search behavior is awful/useless

Anyone already tried yum search after the 5.2 upgrade? yum search perl-MIME-tools <skipped some stuff> perl-MIME-tools.noarch : Perl modules for parsing (and creating!)

MIME entities That *used* to tell if it's installed (and from where) and from which repositories which version is available. This information is all gone now. Also gone is the description. I can get the description from info and the installed status from list, but the repo information is completely gone now it seems. In this state yum search is pretty useless. Am I missing something? man yum and yum.conf don't list any options to get a more useful behavior.

Clamd not working
by Anne Wilson 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Earlier this month I reported a problem in that ClamTK couldn't virus-scan a file. This was cured by following the dev's instructions <quote> If you open up a terminal window and type "ls /var/clamav" (without quotes of course), I'm betting you'll see a variety of files and/or directories in there. If you're up for it, as root type rm /var/clamav/* -rf which will remove all the signatures. Don't worry, you'll get them back in the next step. As root, type freshclam -v And that will download all the necessary signatures again. </quote> At that point I thought all was well - until I had to reboot, when I found that it hung with a message (from memory) 'self-checking 1800'. Using Interactive boot I discovered that it came from clamd. I'm guessing that daily.cld main.cld and mirrors.dat are being sought somewhere other than /var/clamav. Maybe a symlink is required? If someone with a working clamd could advise me I'd be most grateful. For now I have had to chkconfig clamd off. Anne

How/when to file bugs on upstream bugzilla?
by Greg Bailey 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

I've hit a bug since upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2 that involves the screen blanking when I shut the lid on a Dell Latitude D820 notebook. It doesn't come back on correctly when I open the lid, and instead crashes X. I've filed a bug on bugs.centos.org that describes the problem (#2910), and was requested to file a bug on bugzilla.redhat.com. I've filed bugs on Red Hat's system before, but always after reproducing the problem using genuine RHEL. In this case, I can't practically reload my notebook with RHEL 5.2, so I'm wondering how to report this bug to Red Hat. I'm afraid of it getting rejected outright since it's not RHEL, but on the other hand I could see where the collected information could be useful to them if the bug report is written well... Any advice on this? I didn't see anything on the CentOS wiki or FAQ as to how or when to use upstream's bug system. thanks! Greg

libgtk-x11-2.0.la missing on CentOS 5.2

Hi, I just upgrade to CentOS 5.2. I try to compile my gtk2 application using GNU autotools and found the following error: ... grep: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.la: No such file or directory /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.la' is not a valid libtool archive ...

Or how I can ask libtool not to look for libgtk-x11-2.0.la ? Thanks a lot. Regards KC

MPEG video under Fedora 9
by Timothy Murphy 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Could some kind soul state as briefly and clearly as possible what is required to play a .mpg video file under Fedora 9/KDE/Firefox? On my laptop I see from System Settings=>Advanced=>File Associations that I am given a choice for mpeg video files of GXine Video Player Gnome MPlayer MPlayer Movie Player Kaffeine As a sample .mpg file I've taken /usr/share/apps/k3b/extra/k3bphotosvcd.mpg . [Maybe that is a bad example; if so could some guru suggest a better one? One incidental difficulty in solving multimedia problems under Fedora is that supposed solutions rarely give a sample file on which the solution can be tested. Perhaps a selection of multimedia files for testing would be useful. Is there such a thing anywhere?] I'm not clear also if Firefox has its own, different, set of File Associations? Or will it read those set by Fedora/KDE? I understand that the Fedora developers have a religious objection to telling us how to play ungodly video files, or even telling us where we can get this information. But it would be nice if a standard godless informant could be agreed on ...

Automatic site selection for dowload
by tech 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

I would like to ask that more flexibility be built into automatically choosing sites for downloading. I have just upgraded to CentOS 5.2. When I look for a mirror, I get many choices from Taiwan. Since I am in Hong Kong this makes sense geographically but .... not in terms of bandwidth. Although Taiwan is very close, it is almost the slowest connection I can make. Some .jp sites are good but I find .sg or the US is usually best. This morning I tried to update to the new kernel (92.1.6). My system seemed to die during the download. After some investigation, I found that Yum et al is being defaulted to .tw sites. (base, updates, add ons all go to .tw.) I have now been sitting at base primary.xml.gz for over 15 minutes and am only about 50% done. Is it possible when deciding these default sites to look at actual bandwidth and not just geographical closeness? Mel

Open Source Video Codec and Container (alternative to Xvid)

What would you improve? The size is much bigger than the original FLV :( 2) Is there a real open source format what I should prefer? Can you say something about its quality? 3) Whats the most painless format for exchanging videos with Win, Mac and Linux users? cheers Simon

VNC vs GNOME desktop
by fred smith 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I'm trying to use VNC to connect my home Centos box (up to date centos 5) to my Centos 4 (also up to date) at work. I have no problem connecting. The problem occurs after logging in, for every applet in the bottom Gnome panel I get an error box from which I can choose to remove the applet from the panel, or just go on. I choose to not delete but to just go on. After I get a half dozen or so of those, the desktop is fully drawn, except the bottom panel is completely empty. no desktop switcher, or anything else. I've googled and looked in centos forums and realvnc FAQs and don't find any reference to such a problem. Clues would be appreciated! Here's the text from that dialog: The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_howDesktopApplet". Details: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/show_desktop_button/ Prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=x-small;locked_down=false Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration? and I get that once for each applet. here's the ~/.vnc/xstartup file from the server: #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & twm & -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord is like a strong tower.

hi all, i have a centos box and would like to back up just in case the hard drive fail. one way to do this is duplicate the image of the hard drive, so if the hard drive fail, just remove it and put mirrored hard drive and done. here my system info: uname -a Linux jadenet.jadesterling.com 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL #1 Tue Jan 17 06:51:40 CST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 37G 15G 20G 43% / /dev/hda1 99M 8.9M 85M 10% /boot none 188M 0 188M 0% /dev/shm i'm looking into dd, but is there anything better than dd? by the way, i would like to use external hard drive via usb to do mirror image. this is an internal box and very little info/actvities going on in this box. so, i don't have to worry about backup everyday. i may want to backup once a month. thanks, T.

How to enable SHA1 passwords after migration from OpenSUSE?
by Papalagi Pakeha 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi there! I have recently migrated my old server from OpenSUSE 10.0 to CentOS 5. Almost everything works great, except for one thing - user passwords. In the old system they were in a form: root:$2a$05$9V.P3/KV2fd0r/O8hs0gNueaidF35edj3DL6skb32qZJNpvwVHiUO:12183:0:99999:7::: and that format doesn't seem to be understood by CentOS. When I change the password I get something like: root:$1$Z0HGYkIb$fbkW0gR6c.k7rENE1NlzE0:14055:0:99999:7::: Note the encrypted password begins with $2a$... in OpenSUSE while in CentOS it starts with $1$... CentOS passwords (MD5?) are understood by OpenSUSE but OpenSUSE passwords (SHA1?) are not understood by CentOS. Is there any way around that? Perhaps get some PAM module from OpenSUSE? Or just some setting somewhere? Having to reset passwords for all my users would be a royal pain. Thanks! PaPa

Headphone on a Acer Extensa 5220
by Olaf Mueller 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hello, is there any chance to get a headphone working under a acer extensa 5220 with CenOS 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.6.el5) installed? Maybe by centosplus or self compiled alsa sources? # rpm -qa | grep alsa alsa-lib-1.0.14-1.rc4.el5 alsa-utils-1.0.14-3.rc4.el5 The sound works great on this notebook and the hardware is detected as 'Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller snd-hda-intel'. But the only settings alsamixer shows are 'Master' and 'PCM', nothing about Headphone or Microphone. Microphone is not so important, but a working headphone on the notebook would be great. Any ideas to get it working? Thank you very much! regards Olaf

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.i386 update failure
by William L. Maltby 27 Jun '08

Hmmm, I seemed to have created a misalignmnet somewhere along the line. I can't remember doing anything to this. But at one time I did try to test the java open source. Posted my results to the list, got no response, abandoned all hope and went on my merry way. I don't know if this is related. I have installed an rpm for a java needed by an application I run. It was from the official java site. I don't know if this is related. Here's what I know. Well, I think I know this. /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers seems to be missing from jpackage-utils.noarch.

Starting a Local CentOS Mirror
by Art Age Software 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi all, I would like to set up a local CentOS mirror, as suggested by others on this list, to cut down on bandwidth usage, etc. I have read a couple HowTos and it seems pretty straight-forward, but I do have some questions. 1) How should I change my entries in /etc/yum.repos.d? Specifically, should I replace CentOS-Base.repo with my own .repo file? 2) Is there a way to configure yum to prefer the local repo, but use an external mirror if the local is not available? 3) What is the best practice around keeping the local repo updated? A once-a-day cron job to rsync from an external mirror? If this is the correct approach, is there a way to rsync from a "mirror list" so that updates won't fail if a particular mirror happens to be unavailable when the cron job runs? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. I want to be sure I get this right!
