Hotplug on CentOS 5
by Rodrigo Barbosa 17 May '07

17 May '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As some of you might have noticed, CentOS 5 doesn't ship with hotplug (linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net) Things get handled directly by HAL, as far as I can tell. This is ok as long as you are using gnome/kde. However, on a TUI box, or when you are running another WM (I use IceWM here), you can't count o HAL. Actually, HAL (as shipped on CentOS 5) doesn't even have fstab-sync anymore. Anyway, the interface for /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is pretty simple and straighforward. Coding something to handle just the devices I use is very easy. However, I'm actually considering building and using hotplug on CentOS 5. Anyone has tried it yet ? Any word of advice, or other mathods of handling this situation ?

Make Raid1 2nd disk bootable?
by Les Mikesell 16 May '07

16 May '07

On earlier versions of Centos, I could boot the install CD in rescue mode, let it find and mount the installed system on the HD even when it was just one disk of RAID1 partitions (type=FD). When booting from the centos5 disk the attempt find the system gives a box that says 'You don't have any Linux partitions'. At the bottom of the screen there is something that says: cl->raidtype=5 rd_type=1 <TAB><Alt-Tab> between elements cl->raidtype=5 rd_type=1 <F12> next screen But there is no way to access the bottom part. If I hit the OK button and get a shell I can mount the partitions myself, but then when I chroot to the mounted system there are no devices in /dev. What's the right way to install grub on what was /dev/sdb in the original install but is now the only disk and moved to /dev/sda? The old /dev/sda is no longer there.... -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

NFS /home freezes.
by Jean Figarella 16 May '07

16 May '07

My old nfs server was an old dual Xeon machine running debian. Everything worked fine. Then I switched over to a new Penguin Computer Altus 2600 (if Im not mistaken) with two Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2210 and 4GB of ram. CentOS4.4 is running on it. Now here is the thing, this nfs server is exporting "/home" and all workstations mount the /home dir via fstab. Ever since I switched to this new server running CentOS4.4 everyone on the network gets 5-20 second freezes sporadically trough the day. In other words if I am browsing the net using Firefox, because all the user's options and cache are stored on ~/.firefox, it freezes for the 5 to 20 seconds at a time. After running some test, this happens when big chunks of file are being copied via nfs to the server. So as an example if user1 has a 700Mb iso image in /tmp and he decides to copy this to his home dir (for whatever reasons, this is not important), every user in the network will experience 5 to 20 seconds freezes while the file is being copied. Now if the same file is being scp-ed to the same user's home dir on the server, the freezes do not happen. Now I have tried many different nfs server options and other nfs client options. I also set up a test nfs server with centos4 and 5 where I am the only user, and while copying big chunks of date, nfs freezes (hangs) too. Here is my /etc/exports: /home *domain.com(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,no_wdelay) Here is how client workstations mount the export in the fstab fshome:/home /home/ nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr 0 0 Am I mis-configuring the nfs server of clients? Is there anything I am not doing right? If anybody has any suggestions, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks, Jean Figarella.

seqfault during kernel recompile...
by dcw 16 May '07

16 May '07

I am using CentOS 5 with all updates installed. I have 2 isa ne2000 network cards in my computer. From running make xconfig both isa and ne2000 support needs to be compiled into the kernel instead of making them modules. Is this correct? During the recompile modsign.sh failed with a segfault. In researching, I found an email posted on Redhat that recommended setting the signmodules to 0 in the SPEC file. Before I did this, I wanted to verify that this is an acceptable solution to the problem. Any help will be appreciated, David

It sort of makes sense to me that the running kernel would only populate it's /dev, not the chrooted /dev. Rescue mounts at least the root partition under /mnt/sys (or something like that). Before you chroot, you should probably also mount any other partitions you want under /mnt/sys and then chroot. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

yum groupinstall "Development Tools" overkill
by Niki Kovacs 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi, The subject says it all. I'm currently fiddling with CentOS to become comfortable with it. Starting from a minimal system (everything unchecked during install), I wanted to have a reasonable set of build tools. Roughly the equivalent of Debian's 'apt-get install build-essential'. I tried yum groupinstall "Development Tools", which resulted in a total of 108 MB of packages... including the whole load of GNOME libs. Gasp! Is there any comprehensive list (in some forum or some WiKi) for everything necessary to build apps from source and/or build source RPMS? Cheers, Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

Introduction
by Niki Kovacs 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi, I'm a 40-year old sysadmin living in Montpezat, a small village in the sunny south of France. I'm a Linux user since 2001, when I made my first steps on a 486 with a Slackware 7.1 CD. I've tried maybe two dozen distributions, but I've stayed mostly with Slackware and Debian. Since last summer, I work as a sysadmin for our "Communauté de Communes", a group of 16 villages, where I care for computers and installs of town halls and public libraries. I've configured a LAMP server in a datacenter, running Debian Sarge, and all clients in town halls and libraries are running Debian Etch, a highly stripped-down and personalized GNOME desktop with just a handful of apps needed for work. I've fiddled with CentOS before, around when 4.3 came out, and it was a close second in the choice of OS here. Had 5.0 been out at the time, I would gladly have chosen it. I've discussed the subject with Daniel de Kok, a fellow ex-Slacker and friend, and he's told me so many good things about the latest release of CentOS that I'm now seriously considering replacing my Debian installs with CentOS. I have an armada of PCs that i can fiddle with, and I've currently installed two different versions of CentOS, one as minimal as I could, one with a default GNOME desktop. On my personal laptop I have the Red Hat Deployment Guide, as well as some more CentOS-specific docs. I have a list of 40 or so items that I will have to take care of in the following days or weeks, maybe months: "minimal install?", "yum?", "configure wireless rt2500, rt61, ipw3945?", "find extra repos for multimedia stuff?", etcetera. I just went to take a peek at IRC, and "Arrfab" told me the main communication channel for CentOS was this mailing list. Cheers from France, Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

GRUB and vga=788
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hi, On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in console mode. However, I tried this on my minimal CentOS 5 install, and right after GRUB, the screen just blanks. I add that this (test) machine ran maybe a dozen other distros before, and the 'vga=788' line always did the trick. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

Trying to install CentOS 4.4 as a domU
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hi all, Few days ago I installed a CentOS 5 domU on a xen-box with CentOS 5 dom0 also. All worked fine; I used virt-install assistant and I created a local http repo for increase the process speed. I've tried to do the same with CentOS 4.4 domU, but always I get an error relationated with unavailable HTTP resource. It's curious... so I downloaded the x86_64 complete DVDs for 5 and 4.4 releases and I put all their containts into a local http server. I've not any problem when I use the http://local_ip/5_repo/ resource, but I always get the commented error if I use the http://local_ip/44_repo ¿Why? Obviously I've checked the DVD integrity for several times. My local http repos are exactly the same than the public http repos shows. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Badness in i8042_panic_blink at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 992

15 May '07

Hey all, Just wanting to add my 2 cents here. I have a X/OS 4 Dev box running on a P3 550 and 512MB. Started getting this error when I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.XOS. added the nmi_watchdog=0 to the grub boot line and all is fine now. A strange side effect seems to be the system load has dropped by 0.5 - 1.0 since the change. may only be noticable on my box because of the older arch but still kinda nice to know. chuck _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066

CentOS 5 + Xen + cpuspeed
by Maciej Zenczykowski 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hey, I know xen doesn't really support cpu frequency scaling... but... I still need to have it working. Running at max speed on a laptop simply doesn't cut it. I'd be okay with any solution that would allow me to manually set the cpu speed (intel core duo) probably from within domain 0. Has anybody messed around with this? I've found some patches (rather trivial) that apparently enable cpufreq to work on dom0 in xen for amd cpu's. Anybody know of a ready-made solution for intel? or do I have to roll my own kernel patch/compile/etc (and figure out what and where to patch)... Cheers, Maciej

OT? Alt-tab flashes differently between work and home
by Mark Hull-Richter 14 May '07

This may be off topic, but I'm not sure where to go - been to Gnome help and google - nada (wrong search?). I have CentOS 5 on both my work and home machines, with Gnome 2.16.0 (default, straight out of the box, so to speak). At work I have two 17" FP monitors on an ATI FireGL V3400, at home I have one 19" CRT on an nVidia GeForce7100gs. When I use alt-tab to switch windows at work, the border of the window that is the current target of the switch flashes black - this is fine. At home, the whole window goes black. I'd like to change this to flash just the border at home, but . . . how? I've tried looking around for a setting for this and I can't find one, but I'm stabbing in the dark - even google doesn't give me anything, although the searches I've tried might have been off-base.

Error rebuilding PHP5 under CentOS 5
by Michael Velez 14 May '07

14 May '07

First off, I apologize if this is off-topic. I'm sending it to the CentOS list because I would have to believe this is a configuration issue of the packages CentOS/upstream are providing. In any case, I have to start somewhere. While re-building PHP5 under CentOS5 (to enable Oracle functions via the --with-oci8 option), I receive a compile error while compiling cast.c because the cookie_io_functions_t type is not found. To resolve the issue, I added the -D_GNU_SOURCE option to DEFS in the makefile and (I think this is redundant but I didn't have enough time to go through the configuration options) I add: " #include <libio.h> "in the php_config.h file Gut feeling is that I should not have to change the source code and a combination of -D options in makefile should resolve this. If this is a source code issue, then I'm surprised. OK. After I did these changes, I was able to successfully build PHP5 using the php-5.1.6-5.el5.src.rpm source rpm of the original package for CentOS5 but not the latest php-5.1.6-12.el5.src.rpm source rpm found in updates. I used to build PHP5 under CentOS 4 without having to change source or -D options (using PHP 5 in CentOSPlus) and it worked fine. MY QUESTION: ------------- Is this a configuration issue or should I be reporting this to the php list? ------------- Again, I've done this under CentOS4 with no problems whatsoever. Here are the steps I took: - Downloaded source rpm - Applied all patches - ran autoconf -f - ran configure with the --with-oci8 option and all the options that apache was compiled with in CentOS5 (obtained them by running phpinfo() in a php script). - make Thanks, Michael

Assertion failure in __journal_drop_transaction()
by Dave Augustus 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hello all, Last night a server of mine went belly up with my remote log server telling me this log entry: kernel: Assertion failure in __journal_drop_transaction() at fs/jbd/checkpoint.c:615: "transaction->t_forget == NULL" During this time, we had high email loads and I have my 2 /var/spool/postfix_1 and /var/spool/postfix_2 partitions mounted with "data=journal" option. ( I have 2 instances of PF installed). A hard reboot was required and all appears fine now. However, I had another server that had similar symptoms 48 hours earlier. Same partition setup, same applications. Both running: Centos 4.4 kernel 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp Ideas? TIA, Dave

Hmm.. where is mod_php?
by tblader 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hello All. Is mod_php for apache hiding in a repo somewhere? I did a yum --enablerepo=centosplus install mod_php (as googled) but I don't see any mod_php lurking anywhere. Anyone know what's up?

I'm for not giving accurate information, I am able to create new virtual machines as a non-root user. I have windowsXP and Ubuntu installed on my hard drive as well. So I am trying to create a new virtual machine with custom settings, and using my hard drive, so I can boot windowsXP or Ubuntu while Im in CentOS 5. But when I reach to the end of the settings it tells me I do not have permission to access that file.

NAT from eth0:0 port 80 to lo port 8080?
by Jeff Potter 13 May '07

13 May '07

I'm stumped. We have a CentOS 4.4 box with something like the following IPs: eth0: 64.61.61.100 eth0:0 64.61.61.112 eth1: 10.0.0.100 lo: 127.0.0.1 (of course) We want requests to 64.61.61.112:80 to be NAT'ed to 127.0.0.1:8080. This seems like it should be really simple -- maybe the following? -- I've tried variants combining this rule with a POSTROUTING rule, tried dnat, snat, etc. -- but no luck. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp -d 64.61.61.112 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:8080 The box's iptables are rather vanilla -- pretty much the standard "allow ssh, http" in (I added 8080 just to eliminate that as a possibility, too, even though 8080's only listened to on localhost). What am I missing? Thanks! best, Jeff

Enhancing the mouse support
by Steve Berg 13 May '07

13 May '07

I've been looking around for info on how to enhance the mouse support in a newly installed CentOS5 system and all I've managed so far is to get more confused. It seems that the "evdev" driver is a necessary tool but to compile that requires an xorg SDK which I can't even find. I've probably used up more than my fair share of Google searches for the weekend on this one, thought I'd ask and see if (hopefully) I'm missing something truly obvious and simple. The end result I'm looking for is to be able to map the extra buttons on my trackball to whatever event I'd like it to do. So for instance there's an extra button next to my left mouse button that I'd like to map to a double click event.

CentOS 5 ssloooowww when network unavailable
by Bart Schaefer 13 May '07

13 May '07

This is undoubtedly an upstream issue, but ... I've been messing about with that hp pavilion trying to get wireless working. If I boot with the eth0 NIC plugged in, everything is blazingly fast -- GDM comes up in a few seconds, the Gnome startup splash screen barely has time to appear before it's gone again, shells pop up the instant I click Open Terminal. If I unplug the network and reboot, it all goes to hell. It takes several minutes for GDM to start, the splash screen sometimes lingers up to 10 minutes after the window manager is running, terminal windows take varying lengths of time from 2-15 minutes to open. It even takes 5-6 minutes to mount filesystems from the USB drive. Nothing unusual appears in "top"; gnome-system-monitor is one of the apps that takes forever to launch (to the point that I thought it had crashed), but it doesn't show anything odd either. No activity in the various /var/log files. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Screen blanks after initial setup (Centos 5)

Hi, The installation process went without noticable problems; this is true to the setup phase immediately after the installtion. However: after pressing "Finish" in the Setup Agent the screen blanked on me - Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, Ctrl-Alt-backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Del didn't help. Nada. Did someone else have encountered this? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

CentOS 5 and Broadcom wireless
by Bart Schaefer 12 May '07

12 May '07

I've got CentOS 5 installed on my hp pavilion ze 5300 laptop and the network configuration UI says my wireless NIC has been correctly identified and assigned what appears to be the right Broadcom device driver on eth1. However, the inteface doesn't come up. Google doesn't find anything recent about using Linux with Broadcom except for someone's passing remark that Ubuntu 7 beta seems to work with it successfully. Everything else points to using ndiswrappers and the Windows drivers. Am I stuck going that route? Has anyone successfully used wireless with the stock drivers? Has anyone who had experience with ndiswrappers in earlier versions of CentOS (which I haven't) gone through the effort to get it working on CentOS5? Clues, troubleshooting suggestions, etc. appreciated.

Anaconda doesn't support raid10
by Ruslan Sivak 12 May '07

12 May '07

So after troubleshooting this for about a week, I was finally able to create a raid 10 device by installing the system, copying the md modules onto a floppy, and loading the raid10 module during the install. Now the problem is that I can't get it to show up in anaconda. It detects the other arrays (raid0 and raid1) fine, but the raid10 array won't show up. Looking through the logs (Alt-F3), I see the following warning: WARNING: raid level RAID10 not supported, skipping md10. I'm starting to hate the installer more and more. Why won't it let me install on this device, even though it's working perfectly from the shell? Why am I the only one having this problem? Is nobody out there using md based raid10? Russ

performing binary upgrade centos 4 to 5
by Dave 12 May '07

12 May '07

Hello, I'm trying to take a box from 4.4 to 5.0 and doing it via binary yum upgrade. I'm following the procedure at: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-April/013660.html for taking a 4.x box to 5. I've removed any unneeded rpms, and confirmed the state of the system. I downloaded and installed centos-notes-5 and ran an rpm -Uvh centos-release-5 which worked. I imported the centos 5 gpg key and confirmed the status of my yum. Then i ran: yum upgade this didn't work, yum didn't recognize that as a valid option. Is that a mistype? Or is there another step i have to do? Thanks. Dave.

FUSE and/or NTFS on CentOS 5
by Bart Schaefer 12 May '07

12 May '07

Pointers? I found a .src.rpm for 2.6.0 and it compiles OK, but when I build ntfs-3g (which is what I really want) against the installed fuse-2.6.0 I still get a dependency failure installing the ntfs-3g RPM which says it wants fuse-2.6.3.

reading lvm
by Dave 12 May '07

12 May '07

Hi, I don't like to start messages out this way and this is my opinion but i'm really beginning to hate lvm. With that out of the way here's the situation. I have a centos 4.4 drive with two partitions on it, one an hd*1 partition former /boot ext3 partition, which i can read fine, but which doesn't have the data i want. I've got some data on an lvm volume /dev/hd*2 which contains two partitions within it's volume, the last one which i believe is swap and the first one which was a former / filesystem and has data on it i am trying to obtain. Using fdisk i can read that it's linux-lvm, but i can't get mount to read it. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

CentOS 5 and the nvidia driver

Has anyone with an nvidia video card had issues with CentOS 5 so far?

Netgear WG511v2 card and CentOS 4.4

12 May '07

Alle, Does anyone have any experience with with Netgear WG511v2 cards and V4.4? I read the post @ http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4600&forum=30&po… but the system doesn't even seem to see the card. "/sbin/cardctl ident" shows no info on slot 0/1. "/sbin/modprobe prism54" comes back with nothing. I thought this was supposed to work out of the box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W.
