RE: [CentOS] How to build a debug kernel

Not sure - I'm still pretty new to RHEL and its construction. Does that provide enough info for gdb to look through the kernel and set breakpoints, etc.?

I need to build a kernel with full debugging enabled - breakpoints, etc. I know there's a relatively simple way to do this with rpms, but I don't know what it is.... Help? Thanks.

Moving the Home dir to new server
by Todd Cary 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

I have a new Centos installation that has an empty /home dir and there are no users...just root. I want to move the home directory from another server to the new one. At this time the old /home directory has been tarred with "-prf". That will keep permissions which could be a problem. Is there a simple way to move the /home directory? And the non-system users in the password and group files? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

default Bind on CentOS 4.4 and reverse DNS subnets issue?
by Florin Andrei 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Anybody knows if the Bind version on CentOS 4.4 (9.2.4) has issues with doing reverse DNS for subnets? (networks smaller than /24) I keep a reverse DNS /26 subnet on Bind 9.3.1 (Fedora) and it works fine. I've a /27 subnet on CentOS 4 (bind 9.2.4), exactly the same config just different subnets and addresses, and it does not work. I do a "dig @localhost .......in-addr.arpa. PTR" and there's no ANSWER section. The logs provide no clues, all zones load up clean. Identical config, different behavior. Maximum frustration. :-/ -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

If you are an IEEE member, you can look on the web site for jobs. If not, look on monster(s).com Suggest when you are not looking for a job, you download the PDF files for the RHEL manuals, from the CentOS web site, at this URL: http://www.centos.org/docs/4/ and look through them. They will answer many of your questions and give you much guidance! I never worked with UNIX when I was employed, and there is a "learning curve", but, it's well worth it. My Linux partitions on this home desktop box (dual boot with Win XP) look something like this: swap is 1020 MB (512 MB of RAM) /opt is vfat 1028 MB (to transfer data between Win XP and Linux safely) /boot is ext3 102 MB /home is ext3 4001 MB /tmp is ext3 1028 MB / is ext3 4997 MB I believe you should backup the data in /home (tar -cvf backup.tar /home/mike) for example) and then burn that to a CD and then do a "clean" install of CentOS 4.4 and then restore your data and browser and e-mail. I believe that unless the box you install to has unsupported HW, it is going to work for you, out of the box, without any problems. It takes me awhile to restore to Evolution (my e-mail client) and then a few minutes to restore my Bookmarks and Cookies to Firefox and I'm ready to go. CentOS is a very good, solid, distribution, like the upstream distro. It is not perfect, but it is much more solid and stable and secure than many distros and I doubt that I will stray from CentOS again. HTH, Lanny

virtualizing Windows in Cetnos

Here is what i am looking to do. i have a server SBS 2k3 machine. I want to load linux on it then virtualize the SBS server inside the linux installation. I would then be able to compress backup just the sbs virtual file instead of screwing with the backup programs inside of windows(even symantec's and yosemitie's stuff leaves much to be desired). What are my options both free and commercial?

Problem with VSFTP
by Rajeev R Veedu 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I have setup an ftp server with VSFTP over Centos 4.4. Everything works fine except when I login though IE it doen' ask for the username password but by default it goes to Pub folder. (/var/ftp/pub). I need to access this through view--> open ftp folder in separate window -> file --> login. In short the server doesn't prompt for username when I type the ftp address on the address bar. Instead it takes you to public folder. Is there any way I could get the login prompt when typing the ftp address? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Rajeev Please find below the vsftpd.conf #anonymous_enable=YES # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES # # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022, # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's) #local_umask=022 # # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user. #anon_upload_enable=NO # # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create # new directories. #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES # # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they # go into a certain directory. dirmessage_enable=YES # # Activate logging of uploads/downloads. xferlog_enable=YES # # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES # # If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not # recommended! chown_uploads=YES #chown_username=whoever # # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown # below. xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log # # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format xferlog_std_format=YES # #local_root=/Data/$HOME # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session. #idle_session_timeout=600 # # You may change the default value for timing out a data connection. #data_connection_timeout=120 # # It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user. #nopriv_user=ftpsecure # # Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it, # however, may confuse older FTP clients. #async_abor_enable=YES # # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII # mangling on files when in ASCII mode. # Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties # to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in # ASCII mode. # These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish # to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking), # without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads.

The error message I get is: Kernel panic - not syncing: include/linux/smp_lock.h:25 spin_unlock(kernel/sched.c:c035) not locked The boot messages before this point are mainly to do with acpi including: acpi_ps_parse_anl acpi_?s_one_complete ... acpi_early_init start_kernel Kernel panic .... At a guess, I tried starting the installer with the options: linux text acpi=off noprobe I am not really clear on what part of the boot process is failing so I tried a number of random boot options including apm=off, noapic, apic, nomce. Nothing I tried change the error. (I also tried installing RHEL 4 but I got the same failure with less informative error reporting: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!) I also tried changing my BIOS options - changing the interupt mode from APIC to PIC which, if I understand the manual correctly, seems to be AMIBIOS's version of turning off Plug and Play. Same error. Can anyone tell me what sort of thing is going wrong? Is the smp_lock.h stuff for dual processors? The motherboard I have would support 2 processors, but I only have one installed so don't see why I am in SMP code. Is there something I can do to get CentOS 4 to install? The only thing I can think of I haven't tried is to update the BIOS - mostly because the instructions are not very well translated so I am not completely sure how to use the Dual BIOS feature to roll back if the new BIOS version creates more problems than it solves. Hardware: Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassVal… CPU is a single AMD XP2100+ Disk is a normal IDE Maxtor Memory 3 G of DDR SDRAM I can install CentOS 3.8 on this machine just fine, but I would like to move to CentOS 4 because that is what my beefier database machines are running (or will when I get the rest of them upgraded). Thanks for any help folks can give me. -- Cynthia Kiser

RE: [CentOS] USB flash drive stopped working properly....
by Mark Hull-Richter 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I left out part of this (that I did after sending the message). Apparently the problem isn't so much the flash drive as what happens when the icon on the gnome desktop doesn't go away - it refuses to be removed. I can manually mount the flash drive to its proper mount point, and access it through the icon, but when I unmount it, the icon doesn't go away, and after that, until/unless I manually remount the drive again, the icon doesn't work (and won't unmount - duh!). Now I'm not sure if this is a gnome issue or a CentOS issue. If I log out and log back in, the icon still doesn't go away (implicating the OS), but when I reboot, all is well again, for a while.... Thanks. PS: John, the drive was not actually mounted when this happened, so a dd would not work, either - it didn't even matter if the drive was plugged in or not - the icon was there and unusable/misbehavin'.

Digital Audio (via EIDE ribbon cables) supported in Kernel in CentOS 5.0?
by Lanny Marcus 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

Hello: Will Digital Audio (via EIDE ribbon cables) be supported in the Kernel in CentOS 5.0? I'm now using CentOS 4.4 on a Dell Dimension 2400 box (Celeron 2.6 GHz CPU). This is a dual boot box, rarely booted into Windows XP, but when I do use Windows, and I place an Audio CD into the DVD drive or CD-RW drive, I can hear the music. Using CentOS 4.4, I can see that the software and hardware are working OK, but, no music audible thru the speakers. TIA, Lanny

No problems, on several boxes, for more than one year. Then, I did a "clean" install of FC6 on my box and the "out of the box" experience on this box was *not* good.

I went back to CentOS 4.4 and I plan to stay with CentOS now! >interface to what I am now accustomed to (Gnome) I use GNOME 99% of the time, but my wife and daughter use KDE, so I install both Desktops when I install. And, there are several KDE Applications that I use frequently or exclusively, when using GNOME. As a Desktop user, the only "issue" I have with CentOS 4.4 is that Digital Audio (audio from music Cd's, via the EIDE ribbon cables from the DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives) does not work while using CentOS 4.4 and it does work, when using MS Windows XP. I hope that will change with the Kernel in CentOS 5.0! My wife and daughter are gamers and after I installed the KDE game package, my daughter told me there are just as many games on this box as on her FC4 box. >I currently use XP boot manager (I dual boot and have >one of those machines which tries to "repair" itself >if it sees modifications to the MBR) to load GRUB >which then can boot various versions of FC2.

Red Hat, in their documentation manuals, which are available to download from CentOS.org, does NOT recommend upgrades. It is always better to backup your data, do a "clean" install, and then restore your data. That said, with my recent experience on this box, going from FC4 to FC6, in retrospect, I would have probably done as well or better, with an "upgrade". :-) I suggest that you partition manually with Disk Druid and that you do not use LVM if you are not up to speed on that. Same for RAID. Those are the recommendations in the Red Hat manuals for RHEL. Suggest you set up a small FAT32 partition, when you partition with Disk Druid for your Linux partitions, and move data between NTFS and ext3 via FAT32, if you need to share data. Not a good idea, to write to NTFS partitions from Linux, unless the knowledge of NTFS has increased a lot recently. When you get to the Disk Partitioning phase of the installation, say that you want to retain your non Linux (Windows XP) partitions. >Should I just download the disc sets and install on a >test machine and see which I feel more comfortable with? Yes, give it a try. We used Red Hat Linux 9 for a *long* time. CentOS 4.4 is probably very similar to that. CentOS does not have the latest Multimedia or Internet applications, for desktop use, but that's because it is a server oriented distribution and it is based on RHEL, which is more stable and secure. It is not always good to have the latest and greatest software, unless you like to fight bugs. I always do "Custom" installs, select what packages I want and how to do it. The Installer in CentOS 4.4 will allow you complete control, if you want it. The developers of CentOS are extremely active on this mailing list and I have seen them be incredibly helpful to people on this list. HTH, Lanny in Colombia, South America

CentOS 4.4 on Dell PE 6400 - not rebooting ...
by Joe Kazura 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Hi All, This is my first post ... I *HAD* been trying to get RHEL AS 4 onto this Dell PE 6400/700, but it just wouldn't go without some weird tweaking. I am VERY happy to say that CentOS 4.4 installed without a hitch! NICELY done folks! The only real issue for me is that the machine fails to reboot or shutdown correctly. It requires physical interaction with the power switch, which certainly limits remote, headless administration! A reboot (or shutdown -r now) follows through to " ", but the machine never restarts - it appears to freeze (num-lock works, key-caps does not and Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing) - I have to press and hold the power button to force a restart. I get similar results with telinit 6 (or init 6). A shutdown works ever so slightly better, it gets to the " ", and does not power off the machine, a simple press of the power button does power it off. Does ANYONE have ANY ideas? OR point me in some direction? Dell support is useless for an unsupported OS. Machine info: Dell PowerEdge 6400 quad Xenon 700Mhz CPUs, a Dell PERC/2 card (w/two RAID 5 containers), an Intel GB net card, and 2GB RAM. -- +----------------------------[ Joe.Kazura(a)UNH.EDU ]---+ | Joe Kazura | Mac OS X ... | CIS/TCS -- 1 Leavitt Lane PHONE: +1-603-862-2012 | Because UNIX | University of New Hampshire | should be user | Durham, NH 03824-3512 USA "docendo discimus" | friendly! | | +-----------------[ http://www.unh.edu/tcs/ ]---------+

USB flash drive stopped working properly....
by Mark Hull-Richter 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

This past Tuesday (2/22/07) my flash drive started acting really strange - it only worked intermittently and would disappear right after an access or two. Yesterday it stopped working altogether - I couldn't even access it through my WinXP-on-VMWare. I rebooted my machine, and it worked fine after that. Is there some time limit on how long a USB flash drive will work in CentOS or is this a bug or ? ? ? I'm running a Dell Precision 390 with a Pentium-4 HT 3GHz, 2Gb mem, 1 SATA 150Gb (?) drive, multiple USB ports (including KB&mouse), etc., using CentOS 4.4 with the 2.6.9-42.0.8 kernel. The flash drive is a 2Gb SanDisk Titanium Cruzer-mini. Thanks.

by Mike McCarty 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Some time ago I installed FC2 at the request of an employer. That contract ended over a year ago, and FC2 is an orphan. I am gradually feeling more pressure to jump from FC2, and do not wish to remain with the Fedora Core Project, as I don't want to make installing and upgrading my machine into a hobby. I already maintain a Debian machine for my girlfriend, but I'm not sure I wish make that big a jump, so I am considering what, if any, of the CentOS distros may be most like what I am now running. It appears that CentOS 4.x may be the closest, based on the website. I am interested in maintaining a very similar user interface to what I am now accustomed to (Gnome), and wish to have little, if any, modifications to, for example, /mnt (may be /media now, I guess) /etc and similar for my network settings. I am not running LVM, and do not wish to. I am not running a wireless network, and do not wish to. I am not running a web server, nor do I wish to. I am running kernel 2.6.10, and I see that CentOS 4.x is 2.6.9, which I suppose is pretty close. I do not run SELinux, nor do I wish to. I currently use XP boot manager (I dual boot and have one of those machines which tries to "repair" itself if it sees modifications to the MBR) to load GRUB which then can boot various versions of FC2. What, if any, other concerns need enter into my decision? Recommendations for gotchas? Should I just download the disc sets and install on a test machine and see which I feel more comfortable with? Thanks for your time. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} Oppose globalization and One World Governments like the UN. This message made from 100% recycled bits.

Latest Plus Kernel include MD RAID-1 BIO_RW_SYNC patch?
by Ross S. W. Walker 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

I am inquiring on the list if anybody knows if the latest plus kernel includes the fixes for MD RAID-1 where it didn't pass down the BIO_RW_SYNC flag on cloned bios. This bug was discovered in December by the DRBD project and patches were posted by Lars Ellenberg from that project to the LKM which were then merged into the 2.6.19 kernel. The bug causes severe performance penalties for applications that use the BIO_RW_SYNC flag on block requests. The fix is a simple 2 to 4 line change where it ORs the sync flag on the cloned bios. If it isn't in the plus kernel, how would one go about putting a request to have it included? Thanks, Ross S. W.

Re: Centos package to export to eps format
by James B. Byrne 23 Feb '07

I tried the ps2pdf and pdf2epsi route and fared no better. I clearly do not have a good grasp of what I need so I will give some more background. I recently installed the avantfax web client for hylafax. I have this working on an SELinux enabled server (despite claims on the project's website to the contrary) over https. I want to customize the cover sheet called cover.ps. According to the project instructions one may accomplish this in the following manner: ---> How-to Make A Custom Cover Page The included cover page file, cover.ps, was created with the XXXX- values and then exported to an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file with the fonts included. Also, the EPS file has been converted to UNIX format. I replaced all of the ^M characters with \n using this command: $ perl -p -i.old -e 's/\015/\n/g' cover.eps $ rm -f cover.eps.old $ mv cover.eps cover.ps Here are some example values of what the resulting PostScript file will look like. $ grep XXXX cover.ps 0 0 32 0 0 (To \/ Company: XXXX-to-company) ts 0 0 32 0 0 (Fax number: XXXX-to-fax-number) ts 0 0 32 0 0 (Date: XXXX-todays-date) ts 0 0 32 0 0 (From: XXXX-from) ts The beginning and ending of the line does not matter. The faxcover program will search and replace the "XXXX-" values. When you're done, you must replace the cover.ps file located in the images directory of your AvantFAX installation. <--- Now. I have a standard fax cover sheet in OOo .otd format that I have altered to contain the fields XXXX-to-company, XXXX-from-fax-number, etc. I want to turn this into an encapsulated .ps format as required above. What I am getting however is not TEXT but apparently pre-imaged printer pages. How to I get an .eps file that preserves the XXXX-fields as text in the .eps file so that the avantfax send generator can do the substitutions? -- James B.

Centos package to export to eps format
by James B. Byrne 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Is there a package available in the CentOS repos that will convert either a MicroSoft Word .doc, an OOo .otd, or an Acrobat .pdf file into eps format? If so, what is its name? If not, What not CentOS packages are available (if any) and recommended to accomplish this? Regards -- James B.

iSCSI, windows, & local linux access
by Andrew Cotter 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hello all, I am looking to build a larger array (6TB) using CentOS 4.4 to archive data to. We want to have the Windows server mount this array as a local drive so we were looking at iSCSI to do it. I have played with it in the past and gotten it to work in this combo, but I have a question about access to the data on the local (Centos) machine. If I understand correctly, when I mount the device on windows, I need to format the array in a format that Windows (2003 server) can understand. Also, iSCSI only allows you to mount the array on one server at a time. Once I do that and write files to this array, is there anyway to access those files from the local machine (Centos)? I may want to do things like rsync to another location, copy files to another removable SATA disk, or just plain delete something. Is it a choice of the OS so both windows and linux can read it? Little help with which one then. I know NTFS is still somewhat in its infancy. Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Andrew
