Re: [CentOS] How to export X displays

I think you probably went from Linux to Windows, not from Windows to Linux. There is an RDP *client* for Linux that works quite well with Windows Remote Desktop, but RDP/Terminal Services is completely a Microsoft thing.

disk partitioning thoughts
by Jerry Geis 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

In the past I basically used 3 partitions for hard drives. partition 1: was all centos (typically 20G) partition 2: was swap (typically 2*RAM - 2G) partition 3: was everything else I wanted, needed or carded about, database files etc... Now with really big drives coming along 750G and 1T partition 3 is getting big. Except for time to format is there a problem with that??? I'm not really to fond of trying to break up partition 3 but I am just wondering if there is a major reason why I should not be partitioning my systems this way? My systems are really just running my application (that runs on linux). It is not a huge email server, not a huge apache server. Just running linux with 100% uptime (sweet). Again just my application running an a stable platform. My application has databases that grow big. My database is not MySQL it is ISAM based. Thanks, Jerry

CentOS 5 IA64

I only have this machine until Monday. I understand that there is a beta version around somewhere? Perhaps a developer can create an ISO that I can try to boot onto this machine?

Perfomance tuning for NIS client
by joseph blase 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Hi, I have both linux and solaris NIS client against a Solaris NIS Server, but my linux box are shamefully slow compare to solaris some sample: on Solaris 5.8: # ypwhich transporter02.domain.com # time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) real 0.0 user 0.0 sys 0.0 on Linux: [root@linux]# ypwhich transporter02.domain.com [root@amsdc2-n-s04taw root]# time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) groups=36923(u_036923) real 0m10.509s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.090s ********** Route**************** [root@linux]# traceroute transporter02 traceroute to transporter02.domain.com (IP), 30 hops max, 46 byte packets 1 nlamsdc2mp078-hsrp.net-equip.domain.net (IP) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000ms 2 transporter02.domain.com (IP) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000 ms solaris# traceroute transporter02 traceroute to transporter02.domain.com (145.6.246.53), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 transporter02.domain.com (145.6.246.53) 0.462 ms 0.279 ms 0.306 ms Although I considered that latency involved but still I'm not statisfied, is there any tunable parameter that I can set on linux box to somehow improve the performance? I also noticed things that I'm not sure if this is default on linux nis bindings: [root@linux]# pwd /var/yp/binding [root@linux]# ls NONAME.DOMAIN.COM.1 NONAME.DOMAIN.COM.2 ===> why there are two of this on linux? solaris# cd /var/yp/binding solaris# ls NONAME.DOMAIN.COM xprt.tcp.3 xprt.ticlts.3 xprt.ticotsord.2 xprt.udp.2 xprt.tcp.1 xprt.ticlts.1 xprt.ticots.3 xprt.ticotsord.3 xprt.udp.3 xprt.tcp.2 xprt.ticlts.2 xprt.ticotsord.1 xprt.udp.1 ypbind.pid Thanks in advance for any feedback. Things I've tried to tweak: * put NIS Server IP on /etc/yp.conf * put NIS Server IP on /etc/hosts no positive result. joseph

help with mdadm/mount
by Craig White 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Just upgraded from CentOS-3 to 5 (yeah - probably not the best idea) I am using software raid In order to ensure that I had enough space on /usr (which was a bit tight), I had an extra partition that I changed to /usr/share from /etc/fstab... /dev/md5 /usr/share ext3 defaults 1 2 but it won't mount up at boot. It will mount after boot if I issue the command 'mount -a' (obviously because of the fstab entry). Is there something like an mdadm label that I need to change? Craig

Problem creating volgroups with kickstart installations (on xen)
by Kai Schaetzl 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00". The Xen VM file is allowed to grow up to 2GB. The kickstart commands for partioning are: clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=xvda part pv.2 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=xvda volgroup VolGroup00 pv.2 --pesize=32768 pv.2 logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024 --grow logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=416 --grow --maxsize=832 This is taken exactly from the "template" kickstart file, I just added the --initlabel after reading the kickstart tips on the wiki. I read the kickstart part of the RH Installation and Deployment Guide, but it didn't help in this respect. Apparently --pesize=32768 is a maximum for volgroup extent sizes and is harmless. When I change to creating a partition for / it works just fine. Can someone help? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

A little help with yum.d repo files
by Bob Taylor 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

I'm new to CentOS. I was running Fedora core 3 before I installed CentOS 5.0. I'm looking at the files in CentOS /etc/yum.d and the same files in Fedora 3. I'm a little confused as I have never looked at yum before. I now have a full time connection so now I can use yum. I have been looking for supported rpms for XEmacs and Gnucash. What repos do I need to add to obtain these two apps with their dependencies and at least one example for CentOS? Thanks in advance. Bob -- Bob Taylor <bob8221(a)gmail.com>

OT -- FLASH question
by fred smith 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

sorry, this is OT. I'm using the 9.x flash plugin with firefox on Centos 5. I keep hearing about "fullscreen mode" in flash, and it is said that it works on Linux. How do you get into that mode? I saw some videos from youtube the other day on a windows box and they were full screen. On my Centos box the same videos play in a small window in the browser. I see no mechanism at all for entering a fullscreen mode. Clues? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

Xen VMs: regular filesystem corruption
by Kai Schaetzl 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

It seems that Xen VMs are subject to file system corruption under certain conditions. I find that often when I reboot or shutdown a VM the filesystem is corrupted after that and the VM no longer usable. The xm create then fails with some Python errors and an eventual Runtime Error: unable to read filesystem No handlers could be found for logger "xend". Error: boot loader didn't return any data. and I have to throw it away as there doesn't seem a way to fix that (or is there?). I use files for storing the VMs. There is enough space on the drive. The problem seems to happen when I reboot the machine from within itself, not each time, but almost each time. When I shut it down with CTRL+ALT+DEL or with the Shutdown button it doesn't seem to happen. I also find that sometimes a good VM will start up and crash early with a kernel panic, but start up just fine when I try a second or third time. Most often this happened after a new installation on the first reboot. Anyone else seen this or known how to fix that?

finding mysql.h & errmsg.h on CentOS?
by Rogelio 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

I am not sure how to modify the config.h script for my CentOS 4.5 box (running Nagios + NDOutils). NDOutils seem to compile fine (./configure && make), but I'm having problems when I try to run the final command in the README file. ********* problems *************************** ndo2db-2x -c /etc/nagios/ndo2db.cfg Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported, or was not found on your system. ************************************************ Someone else (http://tinyurl.com/2jnef8) suggested modding the config.h file in order to eliminate that command CHANGE #include <mysql/mysql.h> #include <mysql/errmsg.h> TO #include </usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/mysql.h> #include </usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/errmsg.h> However, when I looked for mysql.h (e.g. "locate mysql.h") I couldn't find find them (maybe b/c I installed from package?). What might I need to do in order to modify this script for CentOS so that ./configure will run properly and let me install this?

OT: a very big problem with ipsec-tools on CentOS5

Hi all, I am trying to establish a vpn tunnel between one CentOS5 IPSec server and a roadwarrior client, CentOS5 too.

Safe method to remove old kernels
by Scott Moseman 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

# rpm -qa | grep kernel-2 | sort kernel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.EL I'm running the most recent kernel available, and I've never had a problem with any past kernels, so I don't believe there's any reason to keep all of them. I guess kernels get a fresh install instead of an upgrade? Can I safely rpm-e the old kernel packages? Should this be something I do through yum instead? Some of my CentOS servers have even more old kernels than this sample. Thanks, Scott

question(s) about LVM snapshots
by Tony Schreiner 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

I've recently begun to try out LVM snapshots and I have 2 things I'm wondering about My intention is to run backups off the snapshot. As a first iteration, I left 15% of the disk for the snapshot LV. 1. The HOWTO instructions suggest that the snapshot is in effect as long as the snapshot LV exists, and use lvremove to disable the snapshot. Is this the proper way? 2. I chose 15% because the disk is not that active and I think it will be plenty for the duration of the backup I'm doing. Is there a way to track how much space the snapshot is actually using? Cheers, Tony Schreiner Biology Department Boston College

I anm trying to enable XFS with no success. I followed the instructions provided in http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus I installed the new kernel. Example: 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus I also installed these packages as described in a post I found yum install --enablerepo=centosplus xfsprogs xfsprogs-devel lsmod shows nothing about XFS I would image there are others out there running XFS on Centos boxes.

RPMforge metadata problems
by Dag Wieers 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi, Yesterday evening I added a TIMESTAMP to the root of my tree in order to follow up on the correctness of mirrors. And after 12 hours more than 50% of the mirrors do not have that TIMESTAMP file. It is possible that it is filtered out, so the test is not at all valid. I am going to reduce the number of mirrors and only add the ones that have a recent TIMESTAMP. However since information on why this happens (or when this happens) is scarce, I am not sure if reducing the mirrorlist will be effective. So hopefully, after this weekend the problems some of you have seen with Yum and the mirrorlist will be a problem of the past. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

How to enable my RAID again
by Theo Band 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi I have setup software RAID two years ago using FC3 using the graphical installer (RAID1). In the mean time I installed CENTOS4.5 and everything is running fine. At least that was my perception. It now turns out that raid is not working and that LVS just finds 4 partitions from four disks and that's it.: /dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.88G 0 /dev/sdb1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 10.00G /dev/sdc1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 74.94G /dev/sdd1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 70.81G These are 4 disk of each 200GB, and the disks have these partitions: Using /dev/sda (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 101.975 primary ext3 boot 2 101.975 97284.243 primary lvm 3 97284.243 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdc: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdd: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid So my feeling is that I need to setup the RAID again, but I don't want to make any mistakes here, since this is a live system working fine. I tried to read the mdadm manual but it's not quit clear to me what to do. # mdadm -A --scan -v mdadm: No arrays found in config file Shows I have to do more. The previous fedora installation is still around, but is doesn't contain a /etc/mdadm.conf file. Can anyone help me with some steps to take to get it running again. I do have backups, but if things go wrong restoring takes several hours. Thanks, Theo PS. Send for the third time.

apt-cacher for CentOS
by James A. Peltier 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi All, Is there something similar to apt-cacher available for CentOS? I would like to ensure that an application is only downloaded once to the network and not hundreds of times. If there isn't an equivalent, would someone please point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this with CentOS? -- James A.

CentOS 5 LiveCD better than the real one?
by Radu-Cristian FOTESCU 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Folks, I am terribly puzzled by an issue reported as bug 2381 [http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2381] definitely an upstream bug, as it does the same under X/OS 5 and StartCom 5. Simply put: Hibernation fails with horrendous I/O errors after swsusp starts dumping to swap. What bugs me is that hibernating from the CentOS 5 LiveCD *works*!!! (on the same hardware) How could I investigate to see what is the relevant difference between the LiveCD and the installed system, WRT suspend-to-disk? It has been said that "CentOS 5 i386 Live CD is based on the ADIOS Live CD Project", but also that "CentOS Project would like to thank Patrice Guay for the creation of this CD". Who is supposed to know better about this issue? Also, how could I check if upstream has a similar bug report? I don't have any RHN acct. It's a shame that RHEL5 && clones fail to work properly with a specific laptop (Acer Travelmate 5310/5320/5710/5720 have the same architectural design), but an ad-hoc LiveCD works!

Is there a command line option on grep that says count ALL occurances on a line not just the first one??? echo "jerry jerry" | grep -c jerry only returns 1 and not 2. Looking at the man page I did not see anything like that. Thanks, Jerry

problems with "yum --enablerepo=centos upgrade" command

On CentOS 4.5, I'm trying to upgrade MySQL 4 to MySQL 5. (I enabled the RPMforge with the repository protection) rpm -qa | grep mysql gives me: mysql-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1.0.1 mysql-server-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1.0.1 But when I try to update yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade mysql-server I get Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 484 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Could not find update match for mysql No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion I suspect that something here has to do with this not upgrading properly?

Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/

11 Oct '07

I'm looking to troubleshoot this error when I run "tail /etc/httpd/logs/error_log" [Tue Oct 09 07:22:59 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/ (I get this when I run Nagios' "./check_http -H 127.0.0.1".) All I did was install CentOS and then modify httpd.conf to include "ServerName 192.168.1.10:80" and also run " htpasswd -c /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin". Is this a permissions issue on my /var/www/html/ folder? I tried to get the Apache page to serve properly, and it's not doing that. And when I try from another computer, I don't see anything in the logs, which made me think it was an IPTABLES issue (which it doesn't appear to be).

Why tzdata-2007h [RHEA-2007:0928-05] only for CentOS 2?
by Radu-Cristian FOTESCU 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

I might be stupid and ask an idiot or offensive question, but here it is: "Why was tzdata-2007h [RHEA-2007:0928-05] only released for CentOS 2, when upstream has released it for all the versions?" The guys from X/OS have released it for 5.0 along with the other updates (on Oct. 9). Are the "enhancements"... "not important" as long as they're not "security updates"? True, the guys from SL have only released tzdata-2007h in "fastbugs" -- which is something you should not use --, but I am asking in a single place: why? Thanks, R-C Be smarter than spam.

Kernel Update and Ultra Monkey
by Mark Maiden 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Hi, We currently have an CentOS 4.5 running Ultra Monkey box serving web requests to two real servers. Info as below : ipvsadm-1.24-6 heartbeat-2.1.2-3.el4.centos CentOS 4.5(kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL) All was working fine this morning until I upgraded our OS and patched the kernel to kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL via YUM(CESA-2007:0937). After that users started complaining that they were being switched from one real server to another ie sessions weren't sticking. Nothing has changed on the Ultra Monkey configuration. Has anybody experiences an issue with this kernel causing UM problems? -- Mark Maiden Systems Manager Globoforce, Ltd 6 Beckett Way Parkwest Dublin 12 Ireland t: +353 1 625 8812 f: +353 1 625 8880 e: markm(a)globoforce.com www.globoforce.com http://guidance.gospelcom.net/answer.htm

I can't see any error packet in this NIC interface too After I block the udp, the %CPU drops. but the UDP only takes around 8M in general We use UDP traffic for voice.

How to export X displays
by techlists＠comcast.net 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

I have a CentOS server at home and want to view the X display on a laptop running Ubuntu, and not having much success. Here's what's been tried so far: I ran this command on the CentOS server: export DISPLAY=192.168.0.18:0.0 And ran this command on the Ubuntu laptop: xauth +192.168.0.2 When I try to run, say, xclock on the Ubuntu laptop, this is the error message I'm getting: [root@centos-ws ~]# xclock Error: Can't open display: 192.168.0.18:0.0 I'm assuming there's an important little detail I'm missing somewhere, but don't know what. Any suggestions? Paul

Replacing failed software RAID drive
by Hugh E Cruickshank 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

CentOS release 4.5 Hi All: First of all I will admit to being spoiled by my MegaRAID SCSI RAID controllers. When a drive fails on one of them I just replace the drive and carry on with out having to do anything else. I now find myself in the situation where I have a failed drive on a non-MegaRAID controller, specifically an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller. The system is an Acer G700 with 8 internal hot-swappable SCSI drives arranged in two banks of 4 drives. Each bank is connected to a separate channel on the 29160 controller. When I installed CentOS 4 I enable software mirroring between the two banks so that I ended up with 4 pairs of mirrored drive (sda/sde, sdb/sdf, sdc/sdg, sdd/sdh). The problem I have now is that it is sda (the boot drive) that has failed. I have not encountered this problem before and therefore I need to make sure that I understand what I need to do before I start mucking around with things and dig myself into a deeper hole. I have spent much time attempting to research the problem but have not been able to come with any definite information to help. As far as I can see I have two options... Option 1: Leave the system running and replace the drive. Then either the RAID software will re-sync the drives or I can manually sync them with mdadm. I have not seen anything that will support this option but I am hoping that it is a valid option. Option 2: Create a boot disk (floppy or CD) that I can boot from but that points to sde (the boot mirror). Shutdown the system and replace the failed sda drive. Boot from the new boot disk. Format, partition and re-sync the new sda from sde. Shutdown, remove the boot disk, and reboot from the new sda. Can anyone confirm either of these options and point me in the right direction to any documentation that would assist me. TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

nscd segfaulting on centos 4.5

CD emulation (a la daemontools)
by Chris Mauritz 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a method for mounting virtual CD devices with CD image files. I keep images (.CUE/.BIN pairs) of my CD collection on a NAS appliance tucked away in my closet. I'd like to write a script to mount each one, create ID tags, rip the tracks, then move along to the next one. I figure with a quad core opteron, it should be able to crank through them in a few days (it's a few thousand CD's worth of images). Anyone done this before with their trusty CentOS box? I'd be using CentOS 5. Best,

Re: [CentOS] PCI-X SATA RAID Controllers
by Steve Bluck 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Thanks for the replies (and thanks Matt, PCI-e is indeed what I meant -brain freeze moment), I realise "linux dd" works -and is in fact how I've installed CentOS 5, but unfortunately I require a card (PCI even!) that will not require driver updates every kernel update and support a minimum of 6 ports in RAID 1. Being a noob at Linux I'm having trouble sourcing a card that is supported in the 2.6.18 kernel without the need to install drivers, and replies from manufacturers either evade the question or require a Masters degree in Linux, so I thought I'd tap into the combined knowledge of everyone here! So I'm still open to suggestions! Cheers Steve > I would recommend PCI-E if you want the fastest card available, and > using the 'linux dd' option before you install CentOS 5 allows you to > load the 3ware kernel module prior to installation which is what I > did to get my 9650SE-16 working. ;-)

ssh X11 forwarding not working
by James A. Peltier 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I'm having problems with ssh.com and X11 forwarding ssh: SSH Secure Shell 3.2.0 (non-commercial version) on i686-pc-linux-gnu I am in the process of testing some of my machines with CentOS 5 x86/x86_64 and have run into a bit of a snag. X11 Forwarding is not working. I've tried all combinations of (+/-)[Xx] and it doesn't work, seemingly it doesn't want to set the environment variable properly and therefore doesn't know where to send the X requests. Any hints? I've checked the ssh config files and they seem to be identical to the config files on our existing SuSE 10.0 machines which are working. This is troubling indeed. -- James A.

two internet connections questions
by Jerry Geis 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I have two internet connections. One is a partial T1 of data (and rest voice) the other is business cable. Both connections come into my office into (2) centos 5 boxs with 2 ethernet cards in each box. The second ethernet card is 192.168.1.59 and 192.168.1.1 respectively. I have all my DHCP settings setup for a gateway of 192.168.1.1 In the event that the internet connection is DOWN (box is fine just the cable modem is down) how do I set things up so I can take advantage of the second internet connection? Thanks for any tips. Jerry
