Package request: OpenJDK 1.6 packages
by Heiko Adams 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hello, currently the c5-testing repository contains packages for OpenJDK 1.7. The 1.7 branch is the development branch for the upcomming OpenJDK Version 7. OpenJDK is scheduled somewhere in 2009 and for this reason IMHO far away from being stable I'd like to request packages for the currently stable 1.6 branch of OpenJDK. AFAIK the Fedora project has already replaced OpenJDK 1.7 by OpenJDK 1.6 in rawhide for the same reason. -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com>

Graphical frontend for gphoto2? (Handling photo cameras in XFCE)
by Niki Kovacs 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.1 with the latest XFCE-4.4 desktop. I try to stick as much as possible to the UNIX tools philosophy, one app per task. For viewing images, I installed GQView. But right now, I wonder what I could probably use for handling photo imports from digital cameras. GThumb tends to be very unmodular, e. g. drawing in many GNOME dependencies, and besides that, I already have an image browser, so I don't need another one. Under Slackware, I've been using GTKam, a simple GTK frontend to gphoto2, which did the job just fine. But I'm surprised to find it nowhere, not in RPMForge, not in FreshRPMs. All I can find on the web is a few stale .spec files on some obscure SVN repos. Well, I can always try to grab one of these, and see if I can manage to build an RPM from the "latest" version: 0.1.14, dating from december 2006. Which makes me wonder whether this piece of software is perfect or abandoned... Before launching into building GTKam on my own, I'd like to ask: what graphical frontends for digital cameras can you use *besides* GThumb and Digikam (that is: if you're using neither GNOME nor KDE)? Is there some obscure GIMP plugin that I might have overseen? Cheers, Niki

I recently bought an edge modem and I need help on how to install it on CentOS 5. I tried working my way round it by installing windows as a virtual machine and then installing the modem but it kept on telling me that the USB device has malfunctioned. When I install on Windows XP based computer (no VM) it works fine. Any help out there?

recompiled mod_perl insists on old perl dependency

Hello, In order to overcome a known performance bug in perl-5.8.8-10 in centos 5 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836) I downloaded the perl package from fedora 8 (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SR…) and mod_perl (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SR…) and compiled them on an x86_64 machine following instructions from http://sial.org/howto/rpm/.

Question relating to yumdownloader
by Clint Dilks 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi I use yumdownloader occasionally to grab RPMS. One thing that confuses me though is the --source option. I thought this would mean rather than getting the RPM that it would retrieve the source RPM. But it appears this isn't the case. Can anyone explain what this option actually relates to ?

Bill: FWIW, I use Evolution daily on CentOS 5 for IMAP email. Recently, I have been having problems, trying to close Evolution. Yesterday I updated Evolution, via the update icon in the lower right hand corner of the GNOME desktop for "pup" the Package Updater. So far, I am not having the problem closing Evolution. :-) I did *not* update the evolution-data-server package yesterday. Good luck on a quick and easy solution! Lanny

KOrganizer problems
by Anne Wilson 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

My file/print/mail server is CentOS. My laptop is Mandriva 2008.0. I have smb shortcuts loaded by fstab to give instant access to my home directory and a data directory on the server. All was working well, after some initial problems with firewall and selinux, until yesterday. After finding from the logs that someone was trying to get into my imap server I decided that, although they hadn't succeeded, my personal login was too weak, and I should harden it. I changed the password on the server, as user and as smbuser, then on the laptop. My fstab mounts work perfectly with the adjusted auth.servername.anne file, and I can read my mail, but I use a diary on the server, and I'm having problems there. The reminder daemon that should start when kde initialises tells me that it can't access the diary. It's not clear exactly what is happening to korganizer within kontact. I can see the diary, and reloading it doesn't blank it out, yet I get the message that access is denied. Attempting to run a test entry brings the denial message, but the entry shows, even after a shutdown and reload. The reminder, however, doesn't happen. I should also say that since I changed the password on my laptop's kdewallet, that does not show in the taskbar. If I enter 'kdewalletmanager' in a konsole it shows in the taskbar, and indicates that the wallet is open. I'm not sure how this is connected with the korganizer problem, but I feel it must be. I have looked through every log file I can, and can't see any reason for this. selinuxtroubleshooter doesn't show me anything relevant. I'm completely stuck for where to look next. All suggestions gratefully received. Anne

CentOS 5 Evolution Update errors.
by William L. Maltby 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Folks, Evo update on my 4.x worked just fine. 5.0 generated a bunch of parsing errors preceded and followed by a couple of I/O errors that appear related to an unavailable URL. I first figured corruption on my node, so I yum erased evo, its - connector and -webcal units. The data-server removal looked as if it might remove half my Gnome desktop, so I left it in place. Then I did a selective reinstall. The edited results follow. I believe the very first error is the cause. I erased and installed multiple times, even trying the connector plugin figuring maybe it was needed to download files from a website. No-go. I was able to wget the docbook w/NP. Any suggestions? Not critical, I only run evo on my 4.X. But I've begun a slow and careful migration to my 5.0, letting it serve as back up for now.

Authenticate SCP against a mysql database?
by Christopher Thorjussen 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Hi, I'm using a mysql backend for authenticating vsftpd users on centos5. Is it possible to have scp connections to this server also authenticate against the same database? My guess is I can use pam in a way or two, but I'm not very familiar with messing around with pam, so I was hoping somebody had some info/solution. I would also like to make sure it's only scp connections allowed for these users stored in the db, while system user can login with ssh as well. /Christopher

Just for comparison, the executable for vim is quite a bit bigger: [root@bend ~]# ls -l /usr/bin/vim -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2817056 May 9 2007 /usr/bin/vim This is just another example of the upstream distribution being very conservative for possibly several different reasons. There are also a number of ways to override their choice. I just wanted to point out that the change from vim to vi for root was intentional. Someone changing it back should understand the implications of what they're doing. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. -- Ambrose Bierce

SSH, SCP connections to remote MySQL Database using OpenOffice Possible?
by Therese Trudeau 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

I'm trying to find a way to get remote connections from my Linux Desktop machine to a remote Linux box which is hosting a MySQL database, via SSH port 22, and then once connection is established, log in to the database port 3306 and have either an SSH and or SCP connection established so I can securely do edits and queries. I am able to connect this way from my Windows machine to remote server using Navicat. Both the windows desktop and the server are set up this way. I just can't figure out how to get my Linux desktop and the remote Linux box to talk this way. I can connect to the remote database via Linux desktop, it's just via an un encrypted connection through port 3306. For obvious reasons I don't want to do it that way. I tried connecting to the remote database in the same way I use Konqueror for FTP over SSH, i.e., by connecting via the fish protocol over port 22 -by enterning into OpenOffice Base for the server URL: fish://user@myservername.com:22 and the error that comes up in either OO Base or Calc said I must specify a port number after the : , which I did, and it still won't connect that way. My question is, is OpenOffice Calc able to connect to remote databases via SSH and or SCP? If so, do I need a plug in for that, or need to configure calc to do that in some way? How would I do this, or which plug in(s) do I need? _________________________________________________________________ Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008

Adding samba clients to samba server
by Scott R. Ehrlich 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

I have an application that requires the use of netbios names instead of IP addresses, and the company that produces the application says that's the way it is. I have a Windows XP machines running the application, and I want to add it to a domain controller. I have a Centos 5 machine onto which I've installed Samba and configured it to be a DC. I now want to add a couple linux workstations, also running samba, to this domain controller as workstations. I've done this millions of times under Windows, but never added a samba client to a samba server/dc. How do I do so? It is my hope that this will permit me to then use the application, as I'll have added the XP machine to the Samba DC, too, thus hoping netbios names work properly. Thanks. Scott

alternatives package?
by Eric B. 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Hi, In my struggle today to get python2.4 installed on my CentOS4 system, I saw that it installed a packaged called alternatives which is supposed to handle symbolic links to default commands in a nice clean, structured way. However, I am having trouble understanding how this thing works. I have read the man page half a dozen times already, and yet the alternative link for python which was installed doesn't seem to follow what is written in the man page. I am trying to modify the default behaviour for it, but having a lot of difficulty. Of course, with a name like "alternatives", it makes searching Google, tldp.com, etc very difficult. Does anyone have experience with this package and/or can anyone point me in the direction of some good examples, documentation for it? Something a bit more explanative than the man page. Thanks!

I hope it helps somebody though who may be struggling in getting sound to work and just needs some idea of how all the parts fit together.

Automatically send CTRL-D
by Mário Gamito 11 Mar '08

Hi, Sorry for the little bit off-topic. I have a script that has to performe a hash over a password. Problem is that sha512sum expects CTRL-D to be pressed to return to the command prompt. I've searched all over Google, but either I didn't do the right search or there is nothing relevant about this. Bottom line is that I need this command to print the password hash and returns to the shell automatically: $ sha512sum | xargs echo "password" | cut -f2 -d' ' Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

Linux Sound Architecture

11 Mar '08

(I hope the ASCII art doesn't get mangled) I have been working a while trying to get a big picture of how Linux handles sound processing and after much work I have put together this little representation of what I have learned. Please send me any additional comments or components that I may have missed. I hope it helps somebody though who may be struggling in getting sound to work and just needs some idea of how all the parts fit together. There really needs to be some concise, up-to-date Wiki on Linux sound processing and how the different applications work and work together (or not).

DNS Caching for a satellite link
by Benjamin Weiss 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

I'm on a satellite link, and I've got a caching DNS server set up. Several popular sites have very short DNS cache times set in their SOA records, and I'm trying to over-ride them so that our link isn't swamped with DNS queries. Anybody know how to force the DNS cache to hang onto the info longer than the SOA TTL? Yes, I know the arguments against doing this, but in this particular instance it makes sense. I'm using CentOS 5 and bind 9.9.3. Thanks! Also, do caching web proxies like Squid still speed up the web experience over a slow link what with all of the dynamic content on the web these days?

32bit support in 64bit environment (CentOS and Debian)
by Daniel 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi, I was just searching the web for some information on 32bit support in 64bit environment and was able to find couple pages about Debian and CentOS. However, I couldn't find any comparison between them. If anyone knows the differences (e.g. which one is easier to set up and maintain) or could point me out to some useful sites, please help. Or if you think there's no difference, please explain.

LVM VG disappears after kernel upgrade on 5.1
by Ted Miller 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

I finally got 5.1 to boot after install (install couldn't keep the disk IDs from getting crossed up, so at reboot partitions were not where install said they would be). I needed to compile vmware and nvidia modules, but decided to upgrade first. Told yumex to upgrade everything. When I went to reboot the VG with / on it is not seen by the kernel. (root partition is LVM on top of RAID 1). If I go back to the old kernel everything boots fine. On the new kernel only the VG on sdc is seen by LVM. 1. How do I persuade the new kernel to notice the VG with my root partition on it. 2. If #1 is not possible, how do I downgrade kernel-headers to the old version without having to uninstall the dependencies, so I can compile my kernel modules? + Original install was network install of 5.1/x86_64 from CD1 (of 7) + VGs were created under Centos 4. + VG DriveAB01 is on md1(sda5+sdb5) + md2(sda6+sdb6), only seen by original 5.1 kernel + /boot is on md0 + VG DriveC01 is on sdc, and both kernels see it + hdd has Win2k on it for dual boot + hdb + hdc are DVD drives + hda is unused + Motherboard is Gigbyte k8n ultra 9 + AMD 3500 Athlon 64 (single core) Ted Miller Indiana, USA

Cron in logwatch
by Joseph L. Casale 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

When I enable logging = 5 (medium) in logwatch, I get my cron log updates but hourly as well which is to frequent? How can I get cron log updates in the once-daily logwatch I am used to when logging is set to low? Thanks! jlc

kickstart post section
by Jerry Geis 10 Mar '08

Is there a way in the %post section of install to continue to have the VT3 logging but also log that to a file. Somehow using tee perhaps? I have found --log=/tmp/post-install.log but then that shows nothing on VT3. I would like to have both if possible. Log to VT and a file. THanks, Jerry

centos ldap client authentication
by Dave 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD openldap server set up and i'd like to authenticate to it with a centos 5.1 client. The server is also acting as a client itself and user access works fine from it. On the clientside I'm getting an error can not search ldap server, server is unavailable. This is with pam_ldap. I'm using tls encryption. On the client if i do: ldapsearch -xZ i get every entry in my directory. And if i do: ldapsearch -xZ -L '(uid=user)' i get a specific user out of it, so i'm concluding the error is in my /etc/ldap.conf file. I've added ldap to my nsswitch.conf file clientside to the passwd, shadow, and group lines. On the server i'm seeing a tls negotiation failure error msg and the client as i said can not search ldap server. Thanks. Dave.

Newer MySQL in centos-plus?
by J. Potter 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi List, I'm noticing that the CentOS-plus repo for 4.6 has MySQL 5.0.54 in it, but the CentOS 5.1 repo does not have a newer rpm, leaving the "newest" easily-available version as the vendor-provided mysql 5.0.22. Is there a reason for this? We're wanting to try a newer MySQL under CentOS 5.1 -- do any of the standard repos include such an RPM? Thanks! -Jeff

by Manish Kathuria 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

What is the maximum number of nameservers mentioned in /etc/resolv.conf which will be queried while looking up a hostname or IP address in the present version ? Earlier implementations had a ceiling of 3 name servers which could be queried. Has there been any increase ? Thanks, Manish

Anyone installed the amazon downloader on 5.1?
by fred smith 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Just tried to install the Amazon-downloader on Centos 5.1 (the Fedora 8 version, which seems the closest match of any they offer). Of course it gets a bazillion unfulfilled dependencies. so I tried "yum localinstall ./a*m" and it trundles along for a while finding several of the packages available then spews out this: Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_date_time.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_signals.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_iostreams.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_thread-mt.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libcurl.so.4 is needed by package amazonmp3 Can anyone point me to a repo where I could find these? Or other tricks for getting this to work?

pdflatex: fuzzy fonts in Evince, but not on paper output
by Niki Kovacs 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hi, I've been using LaTeX for a few years on Mac OS X, and I'd like to use it on CentOS now. I installed a complete environment using 'yum groupinstall "Authoring and Publishing"' and then installing tetex-xdvi, plus manually installing the 'memoir' class. I can run 'latex document.tex' ok: the resulting .dvi looks nice in xdvi. When running 'dvips -o document.dvi', I get a .ps file that I can view OK in Evince. But when I run 'pdflatex document.tex', the fonts in the resulting PDF are all ragged and fuzzy... though the print output is OK. I thought I'd rather post this question here, since the answer is probably distribution-specific. Any suggestions? Niki

Unable open raw socket in CentOS 5 - SE Linux and kernel capability interaction?
by S Roderick 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

I am wondering what is the interaction between SE Linux and the kernel "capabilities" in CentOS 5.1? I'm trying to open a raw socket and keep getting permission denied errors. I've tried using the lcap library to find that CAP_SETPCAP appears to be off in the kernel. For compliance reasons, I don't want to turn this on. I've also tried a hand-crafted SE Linux module policy. I have verified that the test program runs in the correct SE Linux domain and it generates no audit errors, but it still fails to open the port with permission denied. It appears that SE Linux is not preventing the socket being created (as evidenced by the lack of audit messages), so what am I missing? Do I still need to modify capabilities within the program, even if I'm using an SE Linux policy? Thanks S Source file #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <netinet/in.h> int main(void) { int fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP); if (-1 == fd) { printf("Failed to open raw socket: %d=%s\n", errno, strerror(errno)); } else { printf("Socket opened successfully\n"); close(fd); } return 0; } SElinux .te file policy_module(rawsox,1.0.0) ######################################## # Declarations type rawsox_t; type rawsox_exec_t; domain_type(rawsox_t) domain_entry_file(rawsox_t, rawsox_exec_t) domain_auto_trans(unconfined_t,rawsox_exec_t,rawsox_t) ######################################## # Rawsox local policy # these two didn't help #corenet_raw_sendrecv_all_if( rawsox_t ); #corenet_raw_sendrecv_all_nodes( rawsox_t ); require { type lib_t; type ld_so_t; type ld_so_cache_t; type usr_t; type devpts_t; type rawsox_t; type etc_t; class lnk_file read; class dir search; class file { read getattr execute }; class chr_file { read write getattr }; class rawip_socket create; class capability net_raw; } #============= rawsox_t ============== allow rawsox_t devpts_t:chr_file { read write getattr }; allow rawsox_t etc_t:dir search; allow rawsox_t ld_so_cache_t:file { read getattr }; allow rawsox_t ld_so_t:file read; allow rawsox_t lib_t:dir search; allow rawsox_t lib_t:file { read getattr execute }; allow rawsox_t lib_t:lnk_file read; allow rawsox_t usr_t:dir search; allow rawsox_t self:capability { net_raw setuid }; allow rawsox_t self:rawip_socket { create ioctl read write bind getopt setopt }; allow rawsox_t self:unix_stream_socket { create_socket_perms };

OpenOffice won't start up
by Therese Trudeau 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hi, I just ran an install of OpenOffice 2.31 on Centos 5.1 using these instructions - http://www.melvilletheatre.com/articles/openoffice-fedora/index.html Install seemed to go fine until I finished and then tried to start up K writer and none of the OO apps will start up from the menu. even though they are all showing up in start menu that 2.3 is installed. I'm using KDE mostly but have gnome installed also. Can anyone give me an idea as to how to correct? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging.

Problem getting Java Runtime Environment installed into OpenOffice
by Therese Trudeau 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my new install of OpenOffice 2.31 to find my newly installed Java Runtime Environment version jre1.6.0_04 (downloaded from Sun). I tried installing it via Tools>Options>Java (am using OpenOffice Calc to try to set it up). The options dialog box is finding the Free Software Foundation version 1.4.2, but it won't find the new JRE file. I tried clicking on Add and tried just about every directory I could think of and it's just not finding the JRE. I believe after doing a search, that the newly installed JRE is located in the /usr/java/jre1.6.0_04 directory, and went to that dir in the options dialog box in Calc, and tried every dir and sub dir in that main dir, and Calc is still is not seeing it. Can anyone please give me an idea as to how to find JRE and get it plugged in to OpenOffice? _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!
