Nvidia card fails with new kernel 2.6.9-42.EL
by Richard E Miles 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I have a NVIDIA 5200 FX graphics card. After reinstalling the nvidia driver for kernel 2.6.9-42-EL and doing a startx command from lvl 3, the x window software issues a failed to get interupt from graphics driver. I tried to reinstall the graphics driver again and got the same results. I changed back to the previous kernel and reinstalled the nvidia driver and the problem went away. I am at wonder why this would happen with a kernel upgrade from centos. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097

Problem with openvpn and tun interface
by Alex Palenschat 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I'm scratching my head here a little. And my post to the openvpn mailing list is not getting any attention. I have an openvpn server working with Windows clients and I thought I'd try to get a client config on a CentOS box running. The client is a minimal install of CentOS and I like to use shorewall (3.2.x). I've tried to run the vpn client with the fw off and on with no change. When I start the client I cannot ping anything on the vpn net or the internal net. As near as I can tell no options are being pushed and the tun interface is not being set up. Running an ifconfig does not show the interface (it does show up on the server). The log is being spammed by this: Aug 28 13:54:06 host openvpn[5196]: TLS Error: Unroutable control packet received from x.x.x.x:1194 (si=3 op=P_CONTROL_V1) Aug 28 13:54:06 host last message repeated 7 times Aug 28 13:54:07 host openvpn[5196]: TLS Error: Unroutable control packet received from x.x.x.x:1194 (si=3 op=P_ACK_V1) I have the same options in my client config as I do on windows except I specified a local address to which to bind. Both boxes are configured with ntp and I've checked that the cert was working as far as openssl is concerned. Does anyone here run this configuration successfully? If so, was there anything you needed to do outside of loading the rpm via yum from rpmforge and setting up the keys/config?

wep key generator
by Guillermo Garron 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Dear All, I have this same problem on my ubuntu as in my Centos linux. when i use NetworkManager to connect to my NetGear Access Point with WEP security, the passphrase seems that do not make the correct KEY, so i had to check in the NetGear and enter it manually in EX mode, using iwconfig on CentOS and the networking utility in ubuntu. Ok, after this introduction this is my question. Do you know any WEP Key generator starting from a passphrase? for linux? i have found a lot for windows and on-line wich work really good, http://www.powerdog.com/wepkey.cgi this one generates exactly the same as my NetGear AP. but offcourse if I can't connect to the network I can't use an online tool :( any ideas? thanks Guillermo.

USB Pendrive automounting
by Leonardo Vilela Pinheiro 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

My USB Pendrive gets mounted everytime I put it on the USB port (/dev/sda on /media/usbdisk). This behaviour is the desired. Now I want the OS to automaticaly include the mount option iocharset=iso8859-1 everytime it mounts it. Is there a way to tell haldaemon (or other software) do this, instead of hand-editing /etc/fstab ? -- Vilela

I wanted to use the same e-mail there as I use n the lists. It wouldn't let me. And I don't see a way to change it once I'm registered. Did I miss something? Can my desire be accommodated?

Problems after performing yum update
by Robert 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

I performed the update yesterday that included installing kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL and replacing ethereal with wireshark. First, the trivial... Wireshark would not run from the KDE menu without editing the menu to change the command from "wireshark" to "kdesu wireshark" because dumpcap is at usr/sbin/dumpcap instead of /usr/bin/dumpcap . Making the change causes wireshark to open root password dialog like ethereal, which it replaced. (And which makes sense.) Now, the puzzling. This is an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ on an ASUS A7N8X deluxe ver 2.0 m/b. The symptom is that ntpd refuses to sync. Dropping back to kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL restores ntpd to proper operation. My first thought was that the smp code must have been incorporated in the non-smp kernel because the system mis-behaves exactly as it has in the past when Anaconda mistakenly installed the smp kernel. What clouds the picture is that when I checked the updates repository, I found both http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.6.9-4… and http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.0.… which then made me wonder if there was a glitch in the build process. Has anyone else seen this?

Hi all, Has anybody managed to make this board: 3DLabs Wildcat III 6210 work under CentOS 4/Xorg ? I see on their website they had support for it until RHEL3 but no more support for RHEL4... I tried the 'glint' driver but it does not support this particular chipset. I tried the 'vesa' mode and I could get a 640x480 @ 60Hz but it's a little hard to work at that resolution ;) Any thoughts?

Re: [CentOS] Network interface fails after kernel upgrade

There are three network cards in the server, but I've only got the RealTek connected. Looking at /var/log/messages suggests the new kernel is handling all three NIC's differently from the old kernel.

Looks like 3.8 is not ready to download
by Sam Trenholme 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

This is just a heads up that 3.8 does not look ready to download. There are 3.8 files at the CentOS mirrors, but the files (including the iso images) are constantly changing or disappearing. It looks like the hard-working diligent CentOS workers are making some last minute changes before getting CentOS 3.8 out the door. I presume that there will be a posting made to this list when 3.8 is ready--I hope this doesn't end up like 3.6, when the files are uploaded but not a peep on the mailing list nor webpage that a new 3.x release of CentOS has been made. I know most people are probably using 4.x, but I prefer 3.x because I know the software on this release is guaranteed to be present in any more modern Linux distro (maybe as an updated version); CentOS 3.x is the oldest codebase being currently maintained for any free Linux distro. - Sam

hdc lost interrupt
by Jamie Wilch 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hello After updating to the 2.6.9-42 kernel, one of my boxes stall during boot with hdc lost interrupt ide-cd:cmd 0x3 timed out The older 2.6.9-35 kernel boots fine. This is a Compaq Proliant PL360. The odd part is, I have another, identical Proliant that runs the new kernel just fine. Any idea what is happening? Thanks Jamie

SELinux targeted - named, portmap and syslogd errors
by Leonardo Vilela Pinheiro 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Yesterday I activated SELinux in targeted mode, then I rebooted and started receiving some error messages in the system services initialization: ====================================================================== audit(1156518721.252:2): avc: denied { read } for pid=2223 comm="syslogd" name="libc-2.3.4.so" dev=dm-0 ino=50441 scontext=user_u:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518721.280:5): avc: denied { append } for pid=2224 comm=" syslogd" name="messages" dev=dm-3 ino=38 scontext=user_u:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518721.757:7): avc: denied { read } for pid=2246 comm="portmap" name="libnsl-2.3.4.so" dev=dm-0 ino=48836 scontext=user_u:system_r:portmap_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518728.009:10): avc: denied { read } for pid=2411 comm="named" name="liblwres.so.1.1.2" dev=dm-0 ino=462795 scontext=user_u:system_r:named_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518728.032:13): avc: denied { read } for pid=2411 comm="named" name="libgssapi_krb5.so.2" dev=dm-0 ino=459694 scontext=user_u:system_r:named_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=lnk_file ====================================================================== The SELinux policies in use are the default from Centos packages (I haven't changed anything). Surely this bind, portmap and syslogd packages came from Centos base or update. bind-chroot is not installed. Bind seems to be working fine - as a cache and as a nameserver - even with those errors. Syslog also *seems* to be ok, as it keeps logging things on /var/log/, even in /var/log/messages. I don't use Portmap, but I have left it activated. Anyways, iptables blocks it. Any ideas on what is causing the problems and how to solve it ? Thanks -- Vilela

file i/o operations...
by bruce 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

hi... i'm trying to determine which is the better way/approach to go. should an app do a great deal of file i/o, or should it do a great deal of read/writes to a mysql db... my test app will create a number of spawned child processes, 1000's of simultaneous processes, and each child process will create data. the data will ultimately need to be inserted into a db. Approach 1 ----------- if i have each child app write to a file, i'm going to have a serious hit on the disk, for the file i/o, but i'm pretty sure Centos/RH could handle it. (although, to be honest, i don't know if there's a limit to the number of simultaneous file descriptors that the OS allows to be open at the same time.) i'm assuming that the number is multiples of magnitudes more than the number of simultaneous connections i can have with a db.... i could then have a process/app collect the information from each output file, writing the information to the db, and deleting the output files as required. Approach 2 ---------- i could have each child app write to a local db, with each child app, waiting to get the next open db connection. this is limited, as i'd run into the max connection limit for the db. i'd also have to implement a process to get the information from the local db, to the master db. .. Approach 3 ----------- i could have each child app write directly to the db.. the problem with this approach is that the db has a max regarding the number of simultaneous connections, based on system resources. this would be the cleanest solution.. so... anybody have any thoughts/comments as to how one can essentially accept 1000's-10000's of simultaneous hits with an app... i've been trying to find out if there's any kind of distributed parent/child/tiered kind of app, where information/data is more or less collected and received at the node level... thanks -bruce

This could be set up automatically and fed automatically. Having something like this would help a lot of people trace problems and it would help people rebuilding packages to see what changes have been made by Red Hat. Fastrack and beta packages would give a few of ongoing changes and people could subscribe to the "svn-commits" as the are being made. Of course, this would not hold the CentOS specific changes (or other CentOS related projects) only the upstream changes. Otherwise it would be harder to follow. If this sounds interesting, I'm willing to offer to design and implement this. PS Sorry for replying to a different mailinglist, I actually wrote this mail and luckily I noticed in time it was not on a CentOS related mailinglist. :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

Network interface fails after kernel upgrade
by Clive Gould 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi Yum has just updated 5 of my Linux boxes running CentOS 4.3 to the 2.6.9-42 kernel. All is well on four of the boxes, but on the fifth the network card (eth0) will not work. I've downgraded the kernel to the previous version and the network card works fine again. I've tried removing and re-installing the new kernel, but the network card won't work with it. The details of the card are as follows: lspci:- 00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) /etc/modprobe.conf:- alias eth0 8139too Any suggestions welcomed.. Thanks Clive

Copying files from DOS environment based on archive bit
by Nigel Kendrick 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi Folks, I've a Linux server that has a disk on a Windows NT-based machine mounted via samba so that it appears as /share/pd on the Linux box. I am trying to automate a backup procedure that pushes files from the NT disk to another site as a ZIP file using scp. All is working OK, but I'd now like to make the backup 'incremental' so can anyone think of a way I can grab files off the NT server based on whether their archive bit is set (and then clear the bit) - I can't see that the Linux ZIP command supports this and can't see a way of doing it with mtools. I might visit this afresh and host the data files on the Linux server in due course and then have a look at tar/dar/bacula, but for the moment they must stay where they are for various technical reasons. Any ideas?! Thanks Nigel Kendrick

3Ware 9500 vs 9550 vs CentOS 4.latest kernel

Is anyone having issues with these particular cards (especially the newer SATAII variant) and the stock CentOS kernels? Are they well supported enough such that a "yum update" suffices to keep them synced up with patches without having to hand edit the kernel or build special modules from 3Ware each time? Cheers,

cups configuration question
by Craig White 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Using cups web, I configured 2 copies of a Canon color copier and on one of them, I configured it use a black and white only. This works fine for localhost printing. The cups queues are shared with other hosts on the subnet. They automatically see the printers but when they print to the shared queue, the page comes out in color unless they specifically change it and do not consider the cups configuration option. as far as I can tell, the difference is in the ppd file that is saved by the cups web interface... grep DefaultColorModel ppd/Canon_5870* ppd/Canon_5870_bw.ppd:*DefaultColorModel: Gray ppd/Canon_5870.ppd:*DefaultColorModel: Default which I would have thought would have been transmitted to the user printing via a cups shared printer but it isn't. Any thoughts? Craig

No reiserfs support after kernel-update

Hi Folks, I'm using CentOS 4.3 on my desktop. All works well - until today. On my machine are also other 'nixe like Kubuntu with reiserfs - filesystem. Before update no problems with this partitions. But after the update from today(kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL) I get a message "no support for reiserfs is in the current kernel" and mounting these partitons are impossible. Why ??? What can I do to get back my reiserfs-support with this kernel. Booting with the old kernel (2.6.9-34.108.plus.c4 ) brings me now (why????) the same message and same problems. Thx Timothy

Kernel 2.6.9.42 (.0 and .0.2) Wireless Problems
by Ben Mohilef 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

WPA-2 (WPA Enterprise) fails with the new kernel(s) using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. I haven't tried other authentication modes because that entails changes in the wireless setup which I am loathe to make right now. (It's a Broadcom mini pci card, so I have to use ndiswrapper with this Dell laptop. Bummer!). Rebuilding the newest wpa_supplicant rpm from the FC5 source rpm's and the latest and greatest ndiswrapper from tarball does not help. The old kernel still connects nicely and the new kernel still refuses to authenticate to the radius. Everything else is happy with the radius. Running the -dd mode on wpa_supplicant gives me a lot of data which seems to point to an inability to process key data with the new kernel. Has anyone gotten the ndiswrapper/wpa_supplicant combination to work on a fully updated RH EL 4.4 system? Anyone with similar issues on the new kernel?

Struggling with javac
by John Hinton 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

I've installed jdk-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.rpm and Tomcat. Working through some initial test install programs, I am finding that I can't seem to compile .java files into classes. For instance... javac -classpath /usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/servlet.jar HelloWorld.java as instructed fails with a gij: unrecognized option -- `-classpath' Try `gij --help' for more information. So then I notice there is no servlet.jar file, but instead a servlet-api.jar.. I change the command and it fails with the same problem. Trying the command without the -class and without the path fails with path errors. So it's sort of like this -classpath switch is either pathed wrong somewhere or is deprecated? This is on a CentOS 3 server. Anybody run into this? Do you have a solution? Thanks, John Hinton

Changing the charset in Centos 4.3
by Erick Perez 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi, My Centos 4.3 Server was installed with the english language only. The server hosts several files in spanish and the PHP code that themes the webpages uses the charset "iso-8859-1". If I do an "export" in my system it shows: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" Does apache or the operating system needs to have the charset changed? Where? Thanks, -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez Panama Sistemas Integradores de Telefonia IP y Soluciones Para Centros de Datos Panama, Republica de Panama Cel Panama. +(507) 6694-4780 ------------------------------------------------------------

question on mounting a partition that is in a disk image
by Jerry Geis 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

How do I mount a partition that is in an image file? I have a file called centos.img that has 3 partitions in the file. I need to copy data to the third partition on that image file. I have seen things about a loop back device (which is fine) but then it talked about an offset parameter and I dont know what that is or more importantly what number to use. I hope I'm on the right track. How do I mount it? THanks, Jerry
