by Matt Martz 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

Looks like Fedora released a new version of Revisor, 2.0.4.1-2, (Custom Live CD Generator) that includes support for generating CentOS5 live cds. Just thought someone might like to know. Cheers! -- Matt Martz mdmartz(a)sivel.net CentOS Mirror Admin

Strange C programming problem
by fredex 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

I've got this little program I wrote to test something, and it keeps giving the wrong result. I'm not inexperienced in C, but I can't believe strtof (et al) are broken, so I must be doing something wrong. However, I've spent hours looking at this and comparing it to the man pages and don't see what I'm doing wrong. strtod() and strtold() also give equally wrong results. (the example program given on the strotd man page works fine, BTW.) Can someone wield a clue-bat please? :) Here's the program: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <errno.h> int main (int argc, char ** argv) { float ldbl = 0.0; char * endp; printf ("%s\n", argv[1]); errno = 0; ldbl = strtof (argv[1], &endp); if (errno != 0) printf ("strtof failed! errno=%d\n", errno); printf ("%f\n", (double) ldbl); printf ("%f\n", (double) strtof (argv[1], (char **)NULL)); printf ("%f\n", (double) atof (argv[1])); return 0; } Compile it with: cc -O0 -g -o x4 x4.c then run it like this: ./x4 2.5 and I'd EXPECT it to produce this output: 2.5 2.5 2.5 2.5 but it actually produces this: 2.5 1075838976.000000 1075838976.000000 2.500000 the typecase of the arg in the 3 printf calls makes no difference. Remove it and the results are the same. Using an input of something other than 2.5 changes the middle two lines in some way in which I haven't yet discerned a pattern, but the result is still highly bogus.

PHP doesn't connect to PG with SELinux
by Martin Marques 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

I just migrated my FC4 server to CentOS 5 and had some problems with DB connections from PHP to a PG server (remote server). The thing is that I couldn't get an error, until I disabled SELinux. At that time, the PG connections started working. Are there any instructions on how to work with SELinux enabled and multiple applications connecting one with another? -- select 'mmarques' || '@' || 'unl.edu.ar' AS email; --------------------------------------------------------- Martín Marqués | Programador, DBA Centro de Telemática | Administrador Universidad Nacional del Litoral ---------------------------------------------------------

Newbie ADSL configuration, ppp0 can't activate & config not found
by mailing-lists＠computer2.com 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

I am frustrated. This is a dual boot box, Win XP (Spanish) and CentOS 4.4. The phone company man came today and installed ADSL to the WinXP side and that works fine. I can't get the box online, while in CentOS 4.4. The ADSL router has a fixed IP address (192.168.1.1) and he configured it to get the IP from the ISP via DHCP and get the DNS servers automatically. When I try that on CentOS (which is what I use 99% of the time), it doesn't connect. In the Network Configuration for eth0, things seem OK, but the configuration for xDSL, ppp0, probably needs something I do not have in it and it won't activate. Questions: (a) should I have network configurations for both eth0 and ppp0? I've tried it with both and only with ppp0. (b) is there a possibility that the NIC, which is integrated onto the motherboard and has always worked fine on our home LAN, as eth0, won't work properly as ppp0? If so, should I disable it and install a NIC in the box? I've looked in the RHEL Step by Step Guide for RHEL 4 and Systems Administrators Guides, but they don't seem to cover this issue. Any links to a step by step how to, to do something I believe is simple, but, where I'm missing something, will be greatly appreciated! TIA, Lanny

Centos 5 Live CD
by BRUCE STANLEY 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

I just tried the Centos 5 Live CD on my Thinkpad T41. It works pretty good but did not recognize my Laptop's modem or WiFi (I guess no surprise there). I do have a CardBus modem that is not a Win-modem that I could try when I get home. I did not see anyway to configure a PPP dialup call. Is there a way to run kppp or Gnome's equivalent?

scim-panel-gtk segfault
by Shawn 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hello, Running kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.centos.plus on centos5, on shutdown sometimes I get: Starting killall: Sending all processes the TERM signal...scim-panel-gtk ...scim-panel-gtk[4065]- segfault at... error 4. (sometimes there is one segfault error and sometimes 7+] Also, [and this may be unrelated] I occasionally can't boot into X and need to: #rm /tmp/.X0-lock Then I can startx. I have noticed sometimes that I get the segfault, but the next time I boot, I can boot into X. I really don't know enough to guess whether sometimes it is finishing X and removing the lock before the segfault and sometimes it is not. I am not so unhappy with the situation but being unknowledable of course worry about what effects a segfault during shutdown may have. I do notice that after the segfaults, it goes on to unmount the filesystems and other things that it does normally (but I can't say everything normally as I don't really understand the normal steps of it shutting down). I'd like to: 1) figure out how to stop the segfault especially since sometimes the scim panel won't appear after a reboot (and requires another reboot to appear again). 2) see if the scim segfault is causing the trouble with X starting and if not, figure out why the lock is not being removed. If you have suggestions as to what to look into, I am happy to hear them. The only thing I have tried is googling scim-panel-gtk segfault and found scim-lib 0.99.6 is available (13 Aug 2004) Fixed a bug which causes segfault on x86_64 platform. But that must be a different bug as: rpm -qa | grep scim-lib scim-libs-1.4.4-39.el5.x86_64 I saw an RPM someplace for scim-debug but wouldn't really know how to go about trying to debug it. Shawn P.S. Note, I do not believe this is in anyway connected to being a centos plus kernel as on a stock kernel had the trouble.

question on mplayer playing dvd amd 64 on centos 5
by Jerry Geis 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Gents, I can compile mplayer on centos 4.5 AMD 64 in native 64 bit mode and it plays the dvd, and also compile for 32 bit mode "gcc -m32" on it also plays the dvd. "mplayer dvd://1". I can compile mplayer on centos 5 AMD 64 in native 64 bit mode and it plays the dvd. However, when I compile in 32 bit on AMD 64 centos 5 I cannot play the dvd. I get: Playing dvd://1 File not found: '1' Failed to open dvd://1 My configure string is: ./configure --disable-ivtv --enable-largefiles --target=athlon_xp --cc="gcc -m32" --as="as -32" --with-extralibdir=/usr/lib; make; make install I need the 32 bit mode as it will then play wmv's. Has anyone done a 32bit compile on centos 5 AMD 64? Can you play dvd's? If so can you share how you accomplished this. I am thinking this more a centos 5 issue than an mplayer issue. This is why I posted here. THanks, Jerry

Centos 5 yum update needs gpg key import
by Scott Ehrlich 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

I just performed a fresh install of 64-bit Centos 5 on a system, booted fine, then performed a yum update, or at least tried to. Files downloaded, and were about to install, when it complained that the gpg keys could not be found. I ran into this about a month ago and found a web page showing the path locally to where the keys live, and providing rpm --import /to/the/path. But of course now I cannot find that page. Could someone kindly remind me the path to the keys, or simply the one-liner rpm to import the keys? Thanks. Scott

Where to download a centos4 livecd image?

Hi I can't find a place where I can download a centos4.x livecd iso I only found a centos5 image on the web. Can anyone give me an url? I'd like to clone centos4 machines, using the livecd. I used a systemrescue live cd image to create the filesystem structure with evms, and copy all files, but have problems with installing grub, because the version is not the same. I imagine it would be better to use a centos4 livecd to install the grub MBR. If anyone has a suggestion, it would be nice. Thanks

udev - by-id
by first last 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi, I am trying to set up a CentOS 4 machine with various iSCSI mounts for Oracle, but devices keep on moving around, causing the mounts to fail while called by the sd[a-f] names. We thought about using labels, but, as some of the partitions do not use EXT3, that was discarded, so we thought about using udev and by-id. The problem is that udev does not seem to create the by-id folder or any files within it, while the by-path all get created. The rules file, 51-by-id.rules contains details for the both of them, but the by-id do not get detected, at least the logs don't indicate so. The current contents of the rules file is as follows: KERNEL="dasd*[!0-9]", PROGRAM="/sbin/dasd_id", SYMLINK="disk/by-id/ccw-%c" KERNEL="dasd*[0-9]", PROGRAM="/sbin/dasd_id", SYMLINK="disk/by-id/ccw-%c-part%n" SYMLINK="disk/by-id/scsi-%c" SYMLINK="disk/by-id/scsi-%c-part%n" KERNEL="sd*", PROGRAM="/sbin/path_id", SYMLINK="disk/by-path/%c" KERNEL="hd*", PROGRAM="/sbin/path_id", SYMLINK="disk/by-path/%c" KERNEL="dasd*", PROGRAM="/sbin/path_id", SYMLINK="disk/by-path/%c" KERNEL="sd*", PROGRAM="/sbin/scsi_id", SYMLINK="disk/by-id/scsi-%c" Any help will be appreciated.

2.6.22.1 on CentOS 4.5, No tty0?

Hi! I compiled 2.6.22.1 kernel on my CentOS 4.5 box, during boot up, rc.sysinit complains cannot find /dev/tty0 to get keymap (line 294), and I cannot login to the box via ssh, the passwd authentication do pass, but no console opened, ssh just hangs, and "ps ax" on the CentOS box shows "sshd@notty". There are only these ttys: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 2007-07-12 /dev/tty crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 1 7月 12 14:49 /dev/tty1 crw------- 1 root root 4, 2 7月 12 14:48 /dev/tty2 crw------- 1 root root 4, 3 7月 12 14:48 /dev/tty3 crw------- 1 root root 4, 4 7月 12 14:48 /dev/tty4 crw------- 1 root root 4, 5 7月 12 14:48 /dev/tty5 crw------- 1 root root 4, 6 7月 12 14:48 /dev/tty6 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-07-12 /dev/tty7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-07-12 /dev/tty8 and "ps ax" shows: 3881 tty1 S+ 0:00 ssh localhost 3882 ?

RPM Build Question
by Clint Dilks 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi People, I have just started building my own RPMS on both Fedora and CentOS and generally things have gone well. Currently I am trying to create RPMS for some commercial software that we have purchased. Step 1 was install the software using its JAVA Based installer ensuring that all files were installed into a particular directory in /usr/local. Step 2 was create a tar file of the resulting files Step 3 Turn this tar file into an RPM using the following spec file Name: mathematica Version: 6.0 Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: Mathematica Group: Development/Tools License: Commercial URL: http://www.wolfram.com/ Source0: mathematica.tar.bz2 BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) AutoReqProv: no #BuildRequires: #Requires: %description Long recognized as the world's most powerful mathematical software system #%prep #%build %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT tar xvjf $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/mathematica.tar.bz2 %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files /usr/local/ %defattr(-,root,root,-) %doc %changelog * Wed Jul 11 2007 SCMS, Waikato University Initial RPM release - Clint Dilks When testing the install phase I use the following command QA_RPATHS=$[ 0x0002 ] rpmbuild -bi mathematica.spec This completes but this message is displayed prelink: /var/tmp/mathematica-6.0-1fc6-root-{user}-/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/6.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libPHANToMIO.so.4: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking If I ignore this and build the RPM completely using rpmbuild -ba mathematica.spec an RPM is created but when I try and install this it fails because the MD5 Sum of the file mentioned above is not correct. Anyone have any idea how to stop the prelink change that is causing the problem ? I assume its a directive similiar to %define __os_install_post %{nil} but I'm unsure exactly what I should be turning off. Thanks Clint

Root fs suddenly goes r/o
by Eduardo Grosclaude 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Out of the blue, dmesg on my HP Proliant w/ a SCSI disk gives loads of messages like this one: EXT3-fs error (device dm-0) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted Then the root fs goes read-only, so little else can be done on the machine. LVM locks up. At restart, fs needs a reboot to recover after fsck. The host starts up ok, then I am given some more minutes before the problem reappears. This is stock CentOS 4.4, never have gotten to update it because of this very same problem. System logs say SCSI I/O error, but SMART says no problem has been found, neither does badblocks (run from a rescue CD bootup). SCSI cabling, terminator, etc has been checked. What should I investigate next? Is the disk condemned? TIA -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

latest Asterisk on CentOS 5 64 bit ?
by Florin Andrei 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

I will install CentOS 5 x86_64 on my home server. Among other things, that machine will run Asterisk with an analog card connected to my analog phone line, sort of a home-brewed PBX with VoIP capabilities. The latest Asterisk version as of now is 1.4.7.1 I am trying to find RPM packages for CentOS 5 but so far no luck. The best site so far is this: http://djflux.net/rpms/fedora/6/ It's Fedora 6 so it may recompile on CentOS 5. Anyone else using recent Asterisk versions on CentOS 5 64 bit? Where did you get your packages from? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Loss of Prompt & Cursor
by Robert Thompson 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

When I log into a virtual console as ordinary user, I initially have a prompt & cursor. After I print 24 lines or more, the last visible (24th) line will be data instead of the prompt & cursor. The up arrow no longer gives the previous commands. A clear command will restore the prompt & cursor. This bug first appeared after I installed CentOS5. I do not believe it is a CentOS5 bug however because when I boot Ubuntu from a LivePC CDROM, the same thing happens. Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance - Bob T.

question on kernel compile
by Jerry Geis 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

I "think" I followed the directions on kernel compile (actually I downloaded 2.6.21.5). did the make oldconfig, did make menuconfig, did my compile and everything is working fine in that regard. My question now is how do I take that kernel configuration and use it for another machine that also needs the 2.6.21.5 kernel. Basically I am trying to save the step of going back into menuconfig and reselecting what I wanted. Thanks, Jerry

Firefox and CPU spikes?
by Scott Ehrlich 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Is it just me, or does anyone else experience their CPU utilization spiking to 100% for about 5 to 10 seconds when Firefox is about to download a file, via http or ftp? Then, after the file starts to download, the CPU usage drops back down to normal. I've got Firefox 2.0.0.4 running on CentOS 4.4 32-bit. Thanks. Scott

Here is the updated info. Steve French (samba team) made available a newer cifs version (1.48) backported to old kernels: http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2007-April/001898.html Using this cifs code Jeff Layton (RH) has built some test kernels after making appropriate adjustment for RHEL: http://people.redhat.com/jlayton/ You can try the test kernel to see if the problems have been fixed, or if you would rather not use any test kernel, you can just get the cifs module compiled. I have compiled a x86_64 version of cifs for CentOS 5 for my own use and confirmed it has eliminated the bug that causes system crashes in kernel 2.6.18 (C5's default). Akemi

ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xB887
by Andrew Hearn (AAISP) 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Hello, We have recently purchased two Supermicro servers, AS-1021M-T2RB (http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/system/1U/1021/AS-1021M-T2RV.cfm) and have built them both with CentOS 5 operating system. They are identical, apart from the manufacturer of the disk drives. Kernel is: Linux version 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 (mockbuild(a)builder6.centos.org) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 17:29:04 EDT 2007 Both servers have 2 SATA disks, and using software RAID 1. When they boot, we see this error in dmesg: ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xB887 The servers seem to be working OK, but we're a little worried. The full dmsg is below. Is anyone able to help explain what this problem/message could be? Thank you. pcie_portdrv_probe->Dev[0375:10de] has invalid IRQ.

Simple Question about Resolving Names without suffix with bind
by Wei Yu 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Hi I am trying to use Bind as named. And I have successfully set up a chrooted bind. Anyway, I cannot have it resolve "www" directly. For example, when I am using nslookup, when enter www.example.com, it will resolve. But when enter www, it will not. I want to have www resolve to www.example.com, what should I do? I have already set $ORIGIN in the zone file, but it does not work. Thanks.
