It is not only a problem for Linux users. Office 2003/XP/2000 etc can not read these files either.

This change is a problem for both camps; Open Source users and older MS Office users. Very annoying. ~James

What are the chances that a package such as vlc from http://videolan.org/vlc would become included in extras? so a yum install vlc would work. Thanks, Jerry

mdadm exim mysql
by Johnn Tan 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart). For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22. When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies. I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID. But why are these even related? When I do: rpm -q --requires mysql neither exim or mdadm is listed as being a requirement. johnn

disabling php-cli
by Mark Weaver 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi All, Don't know if this has been covered already, but I'd like to know if there's a way to disable one of the features in php; php-cli. I've done some googling and searching through the archives but haven't found anything. The php manpage doesn't mentioned anything, nor have I seen anything on the php site in regards to this. (hoping it's not something as simple as removing the php-cli rpm, although that just might break a dependency... So, if someone knows how to do this or knows of some information they could point me to I'd appreciate it. thanks, -- Mark "Drunkenness is not an excuse for stupidity.

Not sure if I'm overlooking this somehow but is there a yumgroups.xml file for the [base] repository in CentOS 5? I've checked a few mirrors and didn't see it and a `yum grouplist` with only the base, updates, and extras repositories enabled looks like this: Setting up Group Process Setting up repositories base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 comps.xml 100% |=========================| 912 kB 00:00 Failed to add groups file for repository: base yumgroups.xml 100% |=========================| 6.8 kB 00:00 Installed Groups: Yum Utilities Available Groups: FreeNX and NX Horde XFCE-4.4 Done I must be missing something obvious.

Trying to create a custom initrd that will work with PXE Booting
by Clint Dilks 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hi, I am trying to create a custom initrd that will work with PXE Booting on CentOS release 4.5 (Final) and Fedora Core 6. Can anyone point me to some documentation that will help with this ? The specific situation is that we have received some machines that need the latest e1000 Driver from Intel in order to detect the network card. If I install the systems without network and then do rpmbuild -tb e1000-7.6.9.tar.gz a RPM is built and can be installed, and the Network card works fine as soon as you load the new e1000 Module. But we could be receiving a number of these systems so a Kickstart installation is required. I have tried installing the version of the kernel uses during kick start installs and then creating and installing the e1000 rpm and then updating the pxe initrd with the version of e1000.ko that is created but still the the card isn't detected. Another thing I have tried is creating a respin using Pungi and then using the PXE images that this generates but still no joy. I do know that the Card works fine with CentOS 5 and Fedora 7. Aside from upgrading to these does anyone have any suggestions? :) Thanks

drbd

trying to follow the ha-drbd HOWTO on the centos wiki...

I install the modules, create a /etc/drbd.conf like... [root@svfis-blade03 ~]# more /etc/drbd.conf # # please have a a look at the example configuration file in # /usr/share/doc/drbd/drbd.conf # global { usage-count no; } resource repdata { protocol C; startup { wfc-timeout 0; degr-wfc-timeout 120; } disk { on-io-error detach; } # or panic, ... net { cram-hmac-alg "sha1"; shared-secret "(random secret)"; } # don't forget to choose a secret for auth ! syncer { rate 10M; } on svfis-blade03.(my intranet domain) { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sda4; address 10.5.160.93:7788; meta-disk internal; } on svfis-blade05.(my intranet domain) { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sda4; address 10.5.160.95:7788; meta-disk internal; } } I run drbdadm create-md repdata on both systems... I start the drdb daemon on both systems... and /proc/drbd says...

Hosed my software RAID/LVM setup somehow
by Kai Schaetzl 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

CentOS 5, original kernel (xen and normal) and everything, Linux RAID 1. I rebooted one of my machines after doing some changes to RAID/LVM and now the two RAID partitions that I made changes to are "gone". I cannot boot into the system. On bootup it tells me that the devices md2 and md3 are busy or mounted and drops me to the repair shell. When I run fs check manually it just tells me the same. mdadm --misc --detail tells me that md2 and md3 are active and fine. I wanted to comment out the md2 and md3 devices in fstab (and hoped then be able to boot) but I get a "read-only" warning when writing to it although mount tells me that / is mounted rw. What can I do to boot into the system (the system is on /dev/md1 and seems to be fine) or repair it? The history of the changes is as follows. Originally I had several software-RAID 1 partitions /boot / /home /home2 on /dev/md0 etc. At the time of creation I didn't know I could use LVM on RAID partitions. Yesterday I activated LVM on md2 and md3 as they didn't contain anything valuable and put some data on them. What I did is unmount, then remove from RAID, then initialized LVM, then created the RAID devices again, then created the Volume Groups and Volumes, added mount points etc. All succeeded without errors and was working well thereafter. I worked several hours with data and xen virtual machines on the LVM partitions. The LVM management was done with the LVM manager in Gnome (as I'm not very familiar with LVM), the other stuff was done in a terminal. I assume something is wrong with the LVM setup or LVM doesn't start at all. What/how can I check? Thanks.

Hi all, I am playing with kvm-amd on my centos 5 x86_64 laptop. I am using 2.6.23 as a second boot option to the standard centos 5 kernel. I have everything up and running except for the network. My laptop is a static 192.168.1.150 and the kvm comes up as 10.X.X.X. I cant ping my laptop or anything in the world. Is there a trick that someone knows about to get network to startup? I'd like to have it on its own 192.168.1.X address if possible. Thanks, Jerry

concat mount
by Michael Kress 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hi, I've got a buffalo 1TB DriveStation run in RAID 1 mode, i.e. 500G space available, but that beast is preformatted in vfat. Buffalo doesn't recommend to run it as ext2/ext3, so I mount a vfat drive wich has the limitations "no symlinks, no uids, no gids, etc.". As I just want to use the DriveStation as a backup target, I did the following: I created files of 4G size with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=x01-backup.ext3 bs=1G count=4' (as 4GB is the maximum file size under vfat) and formatted them as ext3. I can mount them and work with them, no prob. Now I'd like to have my 25 files of 4GB file size each coherently mounted as one 100G drive. Is this possible? Must be something like Raid 0.

Hi, full ICH9 support for Centos 5 can be found http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/pub/ Take it as a workaround until CentOS 5.1 is released. I hope ICH9 to be included in this version. Support is done by backporting from new kernel versions. Delta file is created with mkdeltaiso from CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso, so full image can be created with applydeltaiso. Regards, David Hrbáč

Hi! Anyone know of RPMS for the Sword Project (and Bibletime and/or GnomeSword) for Centos5/RHEL5?

keep /boot, copy / from elsewhere?
by Les Mikesell 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

How much is likely to break if you keep a locally installed /boot partition with it's anaconda-crafted module set in the initrd, but wipe and completely replace / and any other partitions with a copy from a machine that has somewhat different hardware? Assume both machines are running the same kernel versions and the change is done while running from the rescue CD or other livecd boot. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

umount'ing a /media/disk... as a user
by Charles E Campbell Jr 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hello! Currently, whenever I attempt to umount /media/disk (or -1, etc), I either have to be user or have to have given the account sudo privileges. Since these "disks" are usually just flash-memory sticks, I'd really rather have the permission to umount them be given to users. The /etc/mtab shows the /media filesystems, /etc/fstab does not. Thank you, Charles Campbell

Trying to recover data off SATA-to-SCSI external 2TB ARRAY
by Dan Carl 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Original the array was attach to an HP server via a Smart Array Controller.(which I didn't setup, I just inherited the problem) This controller no longer recognizes the array even though the front panel of the array indicates its intact. I then took the array and plugged it into my Centos server and it recognized it ... cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: XD-T112- Model: 212R Rev: R0.0 Type: Direct-Access But with errors In dmesg have this: sda: Mode Sense: bf 00 00 08 SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back sda: unknown partition table sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda I have no experience with the Smart Array Controller, just what I read the past couple of days. Here's how it was mounted on the HP server /dev/cciss/c0d1 /stor02 ext3 defaults 1 1 Is there a way I can get the data off the array with my Centos server? Any help/suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated, I've hit a brick wall.

is there an smp kernel?
by Chuck Campbell 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I have a dual xeon, dual core box running the xen x86_64 kernel. I've decided against running any guest OS'es most of the time, so I'd like to install an smp kernel, that would hopefully allow me to install and use the nvidia drivers for my quadro FX1500 graphics card. I did a yum list kernel* but I don't see any smp kernels. Do I need to do a full reinstall w/o virtualization, or does the plain kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.28-8.1.14.el5 support smp? I spent an hour or so googling and didn't find any clear answer, but I may not have looked in the right place. thanks, -chuck
