I have seen this behavior with the tg3 module and a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5701 Gigabit Ethernet NIC. This is a 64 bit PCI card in a Tyan Tiger MPX (dual Athlon) motherboard. I Googled for any similar problems and couldn't find anything so I put a spare 3c2000t into a 32-bit slot and chalked the problem up to the old motherboard and chip set. The box in question is *NOT* serving as a router but does have multiple NICs. The NIC in question has a CAT 6 cable to a 3com 16 port unmanaged gigabit switch. I swapped cables, etc. and still saw the same behavior. I could restart the network and everything would be fine for a while but then it would just stop with no errors, messages, etc. Since I had the spare 3c2000t, that problem went down in the priority stack.

wrapper for "ok" button
by Jerry Geis 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

hi all, is there a way inside a shell script to send key presses to a program that does not support silent command line arguments??? Example: alsaconf pops up with a screen with info and has OK, so the user must hit OK, then a screen appears to select the driver, the default is good so again another "OK", then another prompt about modifying /etc/modprobe.conf and again I want to accept the default of "YES". Is there a wrapper that can be put around alsaconf for redirect stdin with something so basically three returns are given to alsaconf???? Thanks, jerry

CentOS 5: rsyncd log problem
by Mogens Kjaer 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

I run a CentOS/Fedora mirror with rsync access. I have the following rsyncd.conf file: read only = true transfer logging = true pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log dont compress = * [Fedora] path = /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora comment = Fedora mirror [CentOS] path = /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/centos comment = CentOS mirror My problem is that nothing gets logged into /var/log/rsyncd.log, all logging occurs into /var/log/messages instead. There's no error message that /var/log/rsyncd.log (the file doesn't exist) can't be opened. What have I done wrong?

GFS/LVM/RAID1 recovery question
by James Fidell 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

I have a (CentOS4.5) cluster in which the servers mount a GFS partition which is an LVM2 logical volume created as a mirror of two iSCSI- connected drives (with a third for the log). The LV was created using a command along the lines of: lvcreate -m 1 ... /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd where sd[bc] are the mirrored (iSCSI) PVs in the VG and sdd is the log. I have this working and can write data to the filesystem on one machine in the cluster and see it appear elsewhere etc. What I now want to do is to test what happens when I disable one of the mirrors and then restore it with clean disks. However, my google-foo is weak today and I can't find any information on how to get LVM to tag the broken half of the mirror as failed and then how to get it to resynchronise the mirrors once the disks are replaced. Can anyone explain how to do this? Is it even possible? James

luci
by Shadow Lurker 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Is anyone using luci successfully to create clusters with shared storage support? If the "enable shared storage option is selected, the cluster is not created and luci just gives errors about not being able to install the necessary software. I need to provide a 3-4 node gfs cluster. I have ..and others posted bugs about this on the forums / bug system without any solutions. Some of the reports go back a few months without even a reply from development. Is there a way to log what is trying to be downloaded on the nodes, perhaps i could just manually install it but there is not logs on what luci is trying to do. Thanks in advance.

Help with CentOS 5.0 domU install
by Arik Raffael Funke 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, I am trying to install a centos 5.0 domU via virt-manager (or alternatively as described in the centos howtos). Anaconda boots up fine, asks for the language, then for the installation medium. Here my problems begin. I am trying to install via nfs, so I enter my IP details and nfs server details, but after confirming the nfs details, anaconda barely tries to contact the nfs server and instead spits out following error message right away: Error: That directory can not be mounted from the server. I have exported a centos DVD via nfs. The DVD is good, the export also. Also my entire setup seems ok, because if I export a Fedora 7 DVD instead of the centos DVD, I can access the nfs share and install Fedora 7 without problems. ONLY WITH CENTOS I have this problem. It must be something with the centos installation kernel/image/anaconda installer imho. I have not found any reports describing this behaviour. Am I the first who has had this problem? How could I go about debugging what anaconda is doing / why it fails? I am completely out of ideas of what could be the cause of this problem and how I could get rid of it. Any hints? Many thanks, Arik

I've done the usual- - grab a chunk of the audit.log that is relevant to all the actions that would be denied. - do 'cat audit.log | audit2allow -M amavis' to generate the module - amavis.te looks like: module amavis 1.0; require { class dir { add_name getattr read remove_name search write }; class file { create execute execute_no_trans getattr lock read rename unlink write }; class filesystem getattr; class lnk_file read; type amavis_t; type fs_t; type mqueue_spool_t; type sbin_t; type sendmail_exec_t; type var_lib_t; role system_r; }; allow amavis_t fs_t:filesystem getattr; allow amavis_t mqueue_spool_t:dir { add_name getattr read remove_name search write }; allow amavis_t mqueue_spool_t:file { create getattr lock read rename unlink write }; allow amavis_t sbin_t:lnk_file read; allow amavis_t sendmail_exec_t:file { execute execute_no_trans read }; allow amavis_t var_lib_t:dir search; - now I do 'semodule -i amavis.pp' to load the module- but instead of working I instead get this error: libsepol.print_missing_requirements: amavis's global requirements were not met: type/attribute amavis_t libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed semodule: Failed! Anyone know the next step I'm supposed to take to fix this? Previous modules I've made have just happily loaded at that point... Cheers, Tony

Searching an Scsi Controller for CentOS 5
by Olaf Mueller 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hello, does CentOs 5 supports an Adaptec AHA-2940W/2940UW scsi controller (pci)? Is this controller maybe supported by the aic7xxx driver? I want to install CentOS 5 on my desktop pc but the currently installed pci scsi controller for my scanners (drivers: 2x tmscsim, 1x advansys) are not supported by CentOS. So I am searching for something else. Thanks in advanced. regards Olaf

seeing which IP is your DHCP server

If I am on a CentOS box (or any other nix box, I guess), what is the easiest way to easily see the dhcp server? (Like in MS Windows, one can run "ipconfig /all" and see which IP is the DHCP server)

IHC7 RAID-1 or Kernel Software RAID-1?
by tony＠softins.clara.co.uk 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I'm just setting up a SuperMicro system which has twin SATA disks on an Intel IHC7 RAID-capable controller. The system came with Fedora 5 pre-installed, which I will be removing and replacing with CentOS 4.5. But before doing so, I've been having a look at how the original vendor configured it. When I've built systems previously, I've disabled any RAID controller and used kernel software RAID-1, set up per-partition, and this has worked well. This system is currently set up with hardware RAID enabled, which is detected by the kernel device mapper. I can see what it has found using "dmraid" with -b, -r and -s. A single physical volume was created on the mapped RAID-1 device, and then logical volumes created on that. My question is: which kind of configuration will generally give me better performance? To use the IHC7 RAID-1 as currently set up, or to use Linux software RAID-1 as I am used to doing? Any other reasons to choose one over the other? Thanks in advance for any insights.

quick question on machine name
by Jerry Geis 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I have a box I just installed centos 4.5 on. The name of the machine in /etc/hosts is TomSlick.xyz.com TomSlick (for example). the name of the machine in /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=TomSlick.xyz.com Note both are upper case: Yet when I login as root the prompt is showing me tomslick in lower case not a combo upper lower. I have grepped /etc and below for tomslick and cannot find why this machine name is not a combo of upper and lower case. I have never ran into this before. Where is this??? THanks, Jerry

yum through a squid proxy
by Dave 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hello, I've got a centos5 box that is now behind a what was transparent squid proxy. The proxy now has it's own dedicated ip and uses proxy basic authentication. I've got a firewall that redirects all outgoing port 80 traffic to that ip so anyone wishing access goes proxied. The problem is yum on my centos5 can't retrieve the .xml files for the various yum repositories. In the squid access.log on the router i'm seeing invalid request method. This means that the box isn't yet talking proxy and is still trying to go through direct. To my yum.conf file i added lines similar to these: # The proxy server - proxy server:port number proxy=http://mycache.mydomain.com:3128 # The account details for yum connections proxy_username=yum-user proxy_password=qwerty I tried port 80 on that proxy line with the same results. Telneting to that ip/port works fine, iptables isn't blocking it. On the firewall i added the yum-user to the password file and used squid's ncsa_auth program to confirm the username/password combination, output was a simple "ok". On the centos5 box i did a service network restart, which didn't work, yum update gave me the same error. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Multiple WAN link -- CentOS Suitability
by Raymond M. Subasic 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

My situation: I have a cable modem (COMCAST 6Mbit d/l) and am about to also have DSL (Verizon 3 Mbit d/l). I was thinking of using CentOS (4.4, 4.5, or 5??) as a router/dhcp server/firewall for my home network consisting of 3 to 6 computers at any given time. I seek the wisdom of the members of this list on the following issues: -- Is CENTOS a good direction to go? I do not mind manually configuring things or installing lots of packages, and am doing this as both a learning experience for myself and proof of concept for a customer. -- Is it possible/hard/easy/trivial to share the load between the two connections? Have either link fail and things still work correctly? -- I plan to build a box for this job - looking for general recommendations of how much horsepower (mem/disk space, etc) is required -- What are the implications of two pipes for incoming connections such as DynDNS based remote desktop or VNC, or web server, FTP, etc The basic hardware layout I see is 3 nics, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB disk space. 1 NIC for each WAN port, 1 NIC for my local net, some recent CPU. I have been browsing through the "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO," but am still not on top of how to get done what I'm looking for. I understand that there are probably products that I could buy to do this, but my preference is to do it myself. Sorry if my questions are too basic. Please feel free to tell me off if so. Thanks. rsubasic

vlc on centos 4.5
by Jerry Geis 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Has anyone successfully gotten vlc to install on centos 4.X? I saw other posts on using rpms from places but I dont want to go there. I have downloaded from videolan ftp site the following: mpeg2dec libmad libfaad ffmpeg vlc I have configured and installed each package above. When I run vlc (to connect to a linksys wvc200 camera that outputs MP4 video) I get the message main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `MP4S'. So I am assuming I dont have something correct yet with vlc. Just wondering if someone else has built vlc and would mind sharing how they did it. Jerry

Managing recompiled packages?
by Niki Kovacs 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi, I'm using Centos 5.0 on my desktop, and I'm very happy with it. One question bothers me. I rebuilt a handful of apps, for example K3B to enable MP3 audio, or libshout and mpd, to enable streaming audio. Now what happens if these get updated? I guess the new version will squash my personal version. Is there a way to prevent these packages from being updated? Or how should I handle these? Cheers, Niki Kovacs

Recommended REPO Setup for Desktop on Cos5
by John Thomas 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

CentOS is simply great. I use it as my main desktop. I use VMWare clients for any "special needs" software. I am struggling a bit with the plethora of repos and looking for some advice. Would you opine with detail on the best repo setup for a desktop CentOS 5? Comments: rpmforge provides fine rpms. kbsingh, google, adobe, kde-redhat, CentOS-Testing , CentOS-fastrack, epel, ATRPMs also provide fine RPMs. epel seems to have some stuff that I have not found on the others (like gnucash), but enabling epel worries me about conflicts with rpmforge et al. I recalling hearing about priorities and protectbase yum plugins. My thinking is someone has mastered these issues and I could copy their setup so I could do a "yum search whatever" a "yum provides whatever", "yum update", etc without having to enable/disable repos or includepkgs/exclude packages in the repo (i.e., "just work"). I realize one size won't fit all, but your recommendations/thoughts are appreciated. -- Sincerely, John Thomas

CentOS5:Printer Won't Work
by Robert Thompson 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I have a HP OfficeJet K80xi "all-in-one" USB printer. When I send a file to the printer from a virtual console using the command : lp "anyfilename", the response is "request ID is HPOJK80-7 (1 file(s)". There is no printer action, no sound, nothing. The printers name is HPOJK80; the -7 is the job number. The command lpstat shows there are a total of 7 jobs in the queue. The command lpq response is "HPOJK80 is ready and printing", and lists the 7 file names. Nothing has ever printed since I switched to CentOS5. The hplip web site (http://hplip.sourceforge.net/) tells me to do "rpm -qa hplip" from a virtual console. The result is "hplip-1.6.7-4.1.e15" (driver model installed). The web site table shows any driver later than 0.9.5 should work. The hplip web site also states that there are 6 "dependencies": xsane, cups-devel, libjpeg-devel, pyqt, pyqt-devel, and net-snmp-devel. Using the find command (find / -name 'filename' -print) results in 2 hits for xane, 0 hits for the others except libjpeg-devel which gives the message "/proc/11268: No such file or directory". My conclusion is there are 5 missing files, probably cups-devel is the most important. Where can I find the missing files? How do I know where to put them? While I am not sure that "system-config-printer" was run correctly, I am going to concentrate on the missing dependencies. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bob T.
