Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I found and installed the 3dm2 utility from the CD packaged with the controller. Just a note for anyone else doing this... If you do the install from their menu, the install window will close before you have a chance to read the instructions on finishing the setup. Do the 3dm2 install from the command line to save yourself some confusion. -- Bowie

Upgrading I2C Modules
by Kirk Bocek 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Does anyone know how to upgrade the I2C modules *without* compiling the current kernel source? I have a system that apparently needs the current set of I2C modules to work with lm_sensors. If I compile the current kernel source, the proper readings show up. However, with the stock 2.6.9-42.0.2 kernel, one sensor chip isn't seen. Trying to compile the I2C source yields a "Use the modules in the 2.6 kernel source" message. I really want to use the stock kernel. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Kirk Bocek

mixed repos
by "ΠΑΤΡΙΣ > Τμημα Inte rnet" 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hello, Does anybody knows a way to keep updated mixed repositories without mixing them ? For Example i have 3 repos in my desktop centos system , Centos repos handled by up2date Dag repo handled by apt and Karan repo handled by yum. I need packages from each repo but i don't want the secondary repos to mess my system so i never update with these repos. is there a way each tool (up2date, yum, apt) to update only the packages that came from that repo and not the whole system ? for example to update dag packages i use apt-get install and the names of dag repos packages in my system but it's kind of complicated to track all these packages one by one. I believe that if this mater resolved and we can have multiple repos and more apps than centos can compete even ubuntu.

Taring up the OS - how to exclude directories
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

From the howto: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec305.html I got some ideas to help me to tar up the OS. I had already been shown how to wrap it into SSH to deposit the tar file on another system, so I tried the following: tar cpvzf - -C / --exclude home --exclude media --exclude mnt --exclude proc --exclude */lost+found | ssh root(a)10.0.0.2 "cat>backup-060907.tgz" But, whereas the howto is talking about --exclude dealing with files, the Centos Man on tar is saying that it applies to files. So what is wrong? I know the SSH stuff is correct as when I put in something like ls I get a file with result of the ls. Also I had done this without the excludes and of course it died slowing when it got to /media/cdrom :(

Yum update frozen
by M. Fioretti 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hello, about one hour ago, I did a "yum update" on a remote centos 4.3 server. It said: Install 2 Package(s) Update 60 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 103 M Is this ok [y/N]: y then, after downloading: Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Running Transaction Updating : libgcc ##################### [ 1/124] Updating : python-urlgrabber ##################### [ 2/124] Updating : hwdata ##################### [ 3/124] and so on (note 124 packages, not 62), until it arrived at: Editing /etc/postfix/master.cf, adding missing entry for tlsmgr service Updating : yum ##################### [ 62/124] Cleanup : coreutils ##################### [ 63/124] Cleanup : net-tools ##################### [ 64/124] Cleanup : tar ##################### [ 65/124] Cleanup : postfix ##################### [ 66/124] Cleanup : file ##################### [ 67/124] Cleanup : grep ##################### [ 68/124] Cleanup : newt ##################### [ 69/124] Cleanup : python-sqlite ##################### [ 70/124] Cleanup : rpm-build ##################### [ 71/124] Cleanup : mkinitrd ##################### [ 72/124] Cleanup : e2fsprogs ##################### [ 73/124] and then nothing more. It has remained stuck at that line for almost one hour now. Is something funny happening? What should I do? Hit Control-C, halt the system from another shell (during an upgrade????)? or should I simply ignore it? I have no problem to reinstall/reconfigure something if need be. I'm just worried to lose any contact with the server if I do the wrong thing during an apparently frozen update. TIA, Marco

4.4 upgrade problems
by Johnny Hughes 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

OK ... there has been an awful lot of attributing problems to the 4.4 upgrade that are not really upgrade problems. The best I can tell there is really only one major problem: 1. You need to install python-sqlite before sqlite (or at nearly the same time). To accomplish this you can do this: yum update python-sqlite sqlite Then after that, a normal yum update works fine. There are 2 other potential problems 2. There are other (hardware specific issues) concerning the 2.6.9-42 (or 42.0.2) kernel and some users. This is going to happen every kernel upgrade cycle. 3. There are sometimes futex issues ... that is a generic error that can be caused by many things, usually it is a somehow messed up rpm database with double RPMS installed or another problem. Maybe sometimes it just happens, it has been so since at least RH8. Other than that, I don't see any other problems. (Except that some people have more than 1 version of an RPM in their rpm database ... and when they try to update now, there is a version conflict.) I have now upgraded 30 production servers and several dozen workstations and have had no problems at all. Some people are creating their own issues by doing piecemeal upgrades ... that is to be expected. CentOS does not control how the upstream provider releases its product (there are 195 packages updated, for example), nor do we control when the release stuff or what they build it on. I can tell you, however that some things do not work with older releases ... though they are not necessarily listed as requirements. An example is audit and the audit libs. They don't work properly with all released kernels. A CentOS-4.x update is CentOS-4 ... CentOS-4.4 is a point in time snapshot ... nothing more. Installing CentOS-4.2 (as an example) and only doing security updates after that is not tested as working or recommended (by CentOS or by the upstream provider). As Lance said, in the future the upstream provider is going to create different channels for different snapshots and when they do, we will as well (4.5.0, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, etc.). Until that time (just like upstream), there is only a authorized CentOS-4 version ... and it is CentOS-4.x installed and all the updates applied. ---------------------------------------------- There was also a comment that these issues on not on the upstream mailing list so they must be happening only on CentOS. This is also not true. The upstream provider tells everyone to "Handle it via Support Calls" and not the Mailing List ... and sometimes not even via the public bugzilla. As an example see this: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2006-August/msg00073.ht… Then they create proprietary (non public) bugzilla entries to track and fix issues. That is their prerogative, however because of that not all fixes are done in public view. We try to move these things also into the public view (again ... in the above example): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202446 To assume that just because something is not on the upstream mailing list or upstream public bugzilla that it is not a known upstream issue and being worked upstream is incorrect. The python-sqlite issue is not an upstream issue ... as they don't use yum or sqlite ... however all other issues I have seen are. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

CPU usage
by c5050 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Does anyone have an idea why cpu usage varies constantly, from as low as 4.X % to as high as 20+%? All that I have open at the time of running "top" is the gnome-terminal. The reason why I'm hunting this, is that I just can't seem to play DVD's (using Xine) without choppy playback (sound is fine). I know my laptop is aching - running CentOS 4.4 with a Celeron 800 and 256MB RAM (DMA's turned on), but still - I think it should be able to play DVD's, or not? I have the feeling that the more I can tweak CPU usage, the better my chance of success will be. Any advice would be appreciated.

ISPConfig: Secure on Centos?
by karl＠klxsystems.net 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

Just wanted to see if this tool was approved or disapproved of in the centos community as far as security is concerned. http://www.ispconfig.org/ I have noted that anything that is not a centos package is probably suspect, -so feel free to assure, or warn, at your leisure. Basically we are looking for a secure GUI based DNS admin tool, (I myself prefer an openbsd or centos dns machine and tyo just edit by hand.) Most of the GUI tools still need for you to change the serial or not forget a dot at the end, so the GUI case is not as compelling to me as it is our firm and it's customer base. -karl

CentOS 4.4, libstdc++ 3.4.6 and NPTL
by Tim Jackson 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

Hi, I have been using CentOS 4 on a UML (User-Mode Linux) box for some time (>1 year) and have kept up to date with updates. I think I started on CentOS 4.1 and have progressively "yum update"'d since. User-Mode Linux, or at least the version of it that my hosts use, doesn't support NPTL. This hasn't been a problem to date; I've just moved /lib/tls out of the way, as described in http://www.mythic-beasts.com/umlwiki/wiki.pl?2.6_And_TLS . No problems at all, until a recent libstdc++ update. The old version was: libstdc++-3.4.5-2 but with an update to CentOS 4.4 the new version is: libstdc++-3.4.6-3 Now, with the 3.4.6-3 version, when I restart Apache, I get: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: libstdc++.so.6: cannot handle TLS data. Reverting back to the old libstdc++ makes things work fine again. In both instances my /lib/tls is empty. Can anyone offer any advice? Is this a bug in the libstdc++ package? Is there a likely workaround? I'm afraid I don't know enough about NPTL/libstdc++ to really understand the details of what's going on here. Thanks, Tim

09 Sep '06

Not sure where to ask this, I've been googling and not finding much that is helpful. At work I've got a multi-threaded program targeted at Linux. It compiles on RHEL 2.1 and 3, and is targeted at 2.1, 3, and 4. UP until today, the binary built on 3 has worked fine on 4. But on RHEL4 update 4 it dies a horrible death in pthread_create. I have reproduced the problem on Centos 4.4, where I am tyring to debug it. I thought it might be some newly-introduced binary incompatibility in the U4 update, so I recompiled it on Centos 4.4, and it does the same thing. This code has been running for 5 years both in-house and at dozens of customers, on versions of RH linux ranging from 6.2, and 7.x, as well as RHEL 2.1 and 3, so I'm leaning toward something that is not a blatant bug in the code. Anyway, on the either the 2nd or the 3rd (doesn't seem to be consistently one or the other) call to pthread_create we get a SIGSEGV, and looking at a stack backtrace the stack appears to be trashed, or at least the backtrace does not reflect reality. Single-stepping into the call doesn't get you anywhere except a sigsegv. I'm about to delve into it at the instruction level, but I must admit I'm not very knowledeable about 32-bit intel assembly language. Needless to say I've read and re-read and re-re-read the man page for pthread_create(), and have been tweaking the calling sequence in subtle ways to see if I can change the behavior, but so far to no avail. Has anyone here any knowledge of possible problems or incompatibilities in the NPTL implementation in 4.4?

php 5.1 or 5.2
by mbneto 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

Hi, The regular php distributed with centos 4.x is 4.x with php 5.0.x provided from extras/plus. It seems that we are weeks (a month?) away from 5.2.0. Are there any plans to upgrade those packages to 5.1 or 5.2? Thanks.

openssl package possibly different in CentOS and RHEL
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

I've just had a problem on one of my x86_64 boxes with openssl package. I have an 32-bit only application that requires openssl libraries. When I attempted to install openssl.i686 (in addition to already present openssl.x86_64), it failed. The rpm complained about conflicting files (they were all manpages), and I needed to use --force option to install the thing. The good folks at Red Hat were not able to reproduce it, and I don't have a spare x86_64 box to test it with original RHEL4 myself. Would be nice if somebody could test installing openssl.i686 (in parallel to openssl.x86_64) on x86_64 box, both under CentOS 4 and under original RHEL4. It could be just something wrong with my installation, or there might be discrepancy between CentOS and RHEL openssl packages. -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

Restarting mouse services
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

I move my notebook around my office. Sometimes I am using the internal pointers, sometimes a USB mouse, and sometimes a USB keyboard/mouse adapter that is plugged into a kvm (actually two of them). With one of these USB k/m adapters, when I plug in, the system fails to recognize the mouse (but no problem with the keyboard). The 2 adapters are the same brand/model (Aten), but the KVMs are different Aten masterviews. Of course I would like to figure out why this is happening and get it to stop, but meanwhile is there a way to restart the mouse services.

Mdadm Dependancies - Centos 4.3
by centos＠bathnetworks.com 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hiya, I have a mail server (Qmail) and just tried to install mdadm to monitor the raid arrays via Yum and it tried to install exim. Is this correct? I guess that it is looking for an MTA so why is it not finding Qmail (linked to /usr/lib/sendmail). One possibility is that I used yum to actually uninstall sendmail, but installed qmail from source as it needed patching. Any way out of this apart from installing mdadm from an rpm with no deps/ Rob

SELinux targeted + httpd + suexec
by Leonardo Vilela Pinheiro 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, I have read: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-March/003429.html, http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/sn-using-other-types.html RedHat Selinux Documentation (PDF) (some parts) and they helped me solve a some difficulties, including the necessity to mount /var/www with -o suid. Now I'm getting these 2 errors in /var/log/messages whenever I execute a cgi: %-------------------------- avc: denied { create } for pid=17995 comm="suexec" scontext=root:system_r:httpd_suexec_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_suexec_t tclass=netlink_route_socket avc: denied { read } for pid=17995 comm="suexec" name="cert.pem" dev=dm-0 ino=520402 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_suexec_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=lnk_file %-------------------------- This is independent of the script being perl or sh, and despite the errors the cgi executes correctly. 'sestatus' reports: httpd_builtin_scripting active httpd_disable_trans inactive httpd_enable_cgi active httpd_enable_homedirs inactive httpd_ssi_exec inactive httpd_tty_comm inactive httpd_unified inactive Either httpd_ssi_exec or httpd_unified have made no difference in those errors. When I deactivate mod_suexec and comment SuexecUserGroup in Apache configs, those errors stop appearing. So I think this problem has to do directly with selinux policy and mod_suexec. Could this be a bug on selinux-policy-targeted, that doesn't bring 100% support for the "native" mod_suexec? -- Vilela

Alle, I know this is available somewhere and I've read it before but I can't seem to find it know that I need it (age is definitely catching up to me).

yum vs up2date
by John Summerfied 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other than general discussion, I'd also like to know what I'd muss by using up2date on CentOS. I'll start with this: What has yum that provides this functionality: up2date -d -u -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ Please do not reply off-list

Info requested on XEN and CentOS4.3
by James B. Byrne 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

First, I am a digest subscriber and I request the favour of a direct reply in addition to any to the list. I have installed xen-3.0-x86_32-rhel4.1 on CentOS4.3 and everything seems fine ( thanks to Karanbir Singh's helpful notes) but I have a couple of items to put to the list for clarification. 1. I had to remove the OS version check to get past the install script's requirement for RHEL-4.1. I know that this is not a good thing and I would like to know what alternatives, if any, are preferred to handle this sort of issue. 2. I had to remove lksctp-tools and lksctp-tools-devel in order to get xen to build. What are the implications of this? 3. On the first boot after installing xen I received a warning suggesting that I rename /lib/tls to /lib/tls.disabled. What is the reasons for this and what are the implications of doing so?

4.4 update quits unexpectedly
by Tom Elsesser 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

After 2 good updates to 4.4, my 3rd is giving me trouble. I did all 3 installs the same: yum clean all yum update python-sqlite sqlite yum yum clean all yum upgrade This one, however, quits during the header download. I get "[Errno -1] Header not complete, trying another mirror", then "[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try". I am not going thru a proxy, and I can't find any other errors until these pop up. It is stopping at the same spot each time, during the kernel header. Following are the output from yum, debug and error level at 4, and my CentOS-Base.repo, which seems to be the most relevant repo. If there's anything else I can supply to help out, let me know. >[root@linux ~]# yum -y upgrade >> /home/tom/bad_yum >[root@linux ~]# cat /home/tom/bad_yum > Loading "protectbase" plugin > Loading "fastestmirror" plugin > Running "config" handler for "protectbase" plugin > Running "init" handler for "fastestmirror" plugin > Yum Version: 2.4.3 > COMMAND: yum > Installroot: / > Setting up Upgrade Process > Setting up repositories > Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/'] > Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/', 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://archive.cs.uu.nl/mirror/dag.wieers/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://ftp2.lcpe.uni-sofia.bg/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag'] > Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://updates.interworx.info/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://mirrors.tiatera.com/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'ftp://mirror.myriadnetwork.com/pub/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://centos.mirrors.redwire.net/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'ftp://mirror.atlantic.net/pub/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://mirrors.jtlnet.com/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://mirrors.easynews.com//linux/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://dds.gina.alaska.edu/public/mirrors/centos/4.4/os/i386/'] > Running "postreposetup" handler for "fastestmirror" plugin > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > Reading repository metadata in from local files > Setting up Package Sacks > Excluding Incompatible Archs > Finished > Running "exclude" handler for "protectbase" plugin > 87 packages excluded due to repository protections > Reading Local RPMDB > Building updates object > Resolving Dependencies > 1157503446.99 > --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 doesn´t boot
by Christian Hügel 08 Sep '06

Hi, after upgrading with yum upgrade my server doesn´t boot with kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 d. Kernel CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-34.EL) works just fine. I use 2 HDD as RAID1. Unfortunaly this is a root server so i do not have any console output. This is rather disappointing cause i run mission critical applications on the server. I guess the updates should be used with more caution. Regards, Christian

yum consumes machine (load average soars to 47)
by Daniel Senie 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

I was using yum to update packages a few nights ago on one of my servers. The update of rpm packages appeared to die. Since then, commands like 'yum check-update' will consume the system. This is a dual-core Pentium-D, with X64 (and I'm running 64 bit). One CPU pegs at 100% running yum, but whatever it's doing on disk really is the bigger issue. It so consumes the disk subsystem as everything else grinds to a halt and the system becomes unusable (likely swapping itself silly). I'd really like to get this resovled and apply errata. What I need to know is where to start looking. I've tried a 'yum clean all' but that doesn't help.

wiping of unused space on ext3

Hello, I was asked if it is possible to zero unused space in ext3 partition? Users write to the server via Samba and are far from computer geeks so teaching them to use some safedelete utility is quite impossible. Is there some way or utility to wipe out all the data from unused space? Thanks, Mindaugas

How do we handle panics? Bug it here or RH or ignore it (been around *long* time apparently)?
by William L. Maltby 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

"Unable to handle kernel paging request". I've saved the OOPS data from the logs for 6 panics since the 4.4 update. Two before I turned on DRI for my radeon (why not? Couldn't be any less "stable"). Did my google work and became aware it is a long-standing unfixed problem (at least through kernel 2.6.15? IIRC). I've started reading what I can find on crash to see if I can get the whole thing. Do we have a kernel with debug symbols and associated? I don't know if I'll pursue this. Disabled swap and that seems to be working. I'm fortunate I can do this. Others may not be so lucky. I'd like to turn swap back on, but I'll probably have to disable all that read-ahead stuff again and find the thread on the swappiness switch and try and find the list of kernel parameters *again* (I know there in here somewhere)... Enough griping for today. Do I bugzilla CentOS, RH or ignore it? TIA, -- Bill
