sempron 2500+ running at 1044 cpu speed.
by Jerry Geis 06 May '06

06 May '06

I have a desktop unit with a sempron 2500+ to play with. doing "more /proc/cpuinfo" indicates cpu Mhz as1044 not the 2500 I am familiar with cpuspeed. doing ps ax | grep cpuspeed resulting in nothing. I did service cpuspeed start. No errors reported. ps ax | grep cpuspeed resulted in nothing. I was going to do "killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed" to attempt to get 2500+ cpu speed. I am compiling wine right now so I havent gotten back into the BIOS. Is there another way to get the FULL cpu speed. THanks, Jerry

bind problem
by Mike Kercher 05 May '06

05 May '06

I have bind running on two servers. Both servers are running bind-9.2.4-7. When I update a zone file on the primary and reload bind, the secondary receives a notify, but does not initiate an AXFR. The only way I can get the secondary to update is to delete the zone file on the secondary and restart named. Any ideas what might be wrong? Mike

Updating Squirrelmail-i18n dependency
by James B. Byrne 05 May '06

05 May '06

Because of a folder display problem caused by certain character encodings used in some email headers we had previously updated to squirrelmail-1.4.6-1 and installed squirrelmail-i18n-1.4.6-1 to cope. Yum is now trying to update our installation with the latest offical Centos release but there does not seem to be a corresponding squirrelmail-i18n rpm available in any of the repositories which is causing the following dependency check failure. Is it possible/desireable to override this or should we simply continue with what we have? Or is it possible to get a Centos specific squirrelmail-i18n rpm built?

Can't Access Samba Running Linux Box From XP
by Mark Sargent 05 May '06

Hi All, I've just installed Samba on a Linux box, and can see the Windows box attempting connections, but, when inputting the username/password, I keep getting the same user/pass prompt window. What should I troubleshoot for this? I gave the user/pass that is the same as the account on the Linux box, which has permissions to view the shared directory in /etc/samba/smb.conf. Cheers.

Anaconda allows x86_64 CD/DVD to be used to install i386 system
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 04 May '06

04 May '06

As subject says. I just noticed that Anaconda allows x86_64 CD/DVD to be used to install i386 system (using network installation, of course). This is basically broken. For example, yum will believe that it is installed on x86_64, not on i386. So when you do for example yum update, it will try to install x86_64 packages on i386 system. Which isn't going to fly, since installed kernel is 32-bit (so you get broken executables). It can also play havoc with postinstall scripts that will detect they are being run under 64-bit kernel during installation, but resulting system is really 32-bit. -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/

CentOS on dedibox.fr
by Gilles CHAUVIN 04 May '06

04 May '06

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that a french company named Iliad [1] just launched yesterday a new offer called dedibox [2]. For 29.99EUR "without the taxes" (about 38USD according to www.xe.com) per month you can rent a dedicated server containing: - CPU: VIA C7 2GHz - RAM: 1GB - HDD: SATA 160GB - BW: 100Mbps - Unlimited Traffic Oh wait... I'm pretty sure you're starting to ask my message is a spam ? :) In fact, the other interesting thing is that you can choose the OS you wish to install: - DediboxOS (based on ubuntu) - Ubuntu-server - Debian Sarge - Fedora Core 5 Since this offer is pretty new, the choice is very limited for now. But I talked on IRC to one of the guys working at dedibox after I read this page: http://assistance.dedibox.fr/documentation/doku.php?id=commercial:lancement This is in French but if you read the part "Disponibilité des services" you'll see the other distros that will be available in the (near?) future. Then I asked the guy about the "RedHat" that is written there and asked him if they plan to use old Redhat's release or RHEL (or any clone) and he answered me: RH9 and *CentOS*. I know most of the users on this mailing-list doesn't really care about this since this offer only targets people living in France but since I really enjoy working with CentOS, I thought some here may think it is a good news that a hosting service will be offering CentOS to his customers. Given the price of this offer, there is a huge amount of people that subscribes to their services... I'm pretty sure some people will discover OpenSource Operating-Systems and especially CentOS (when it'll be available) and will try it and love it. Regards, Gilles. Note: I'm not affiliated to dedibox and this mail really is not a spam or an ad message but just an "happiness" message, trust me :). BTW, please excuse my english...

Migrate from RHAS 4 to CentOS 4.2
by Jason Dixon 04 May '06

04 May '06

I have a SGI Altix 350 (ia64) that came with RHAS 4, but without any paid support. I would like to migrate the server over to CentOS. Here is what I've pieced together from some older posts by Johnny, can someone confirm this should work? I know this is somewhat covered in the FAQ, although both entries refer to FC or WBEL, which already have built-in yum support. Install the following files: http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/ia64/CentOS/RPMS/ yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/ia64/CentOS/RPMS/centos- release-4-2.1.ia64.rpm http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/ia64/CentOS/RPMS/centos- yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm Edit /etc/yum.conf and perform a "yum update". Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

Possible to cause Yum to "reload" packages a second time?
by Barry L. Kline 04 May '06

04 May '06

I wrote in a thread entitled "ip_conntrack_ftp fails to load on CentOS4.3" that I had what I considered to be a borked upgrade, using yum update. When I went from 4.2 -> 4.3 I ceased to be able to use the ip_conntrack_ftp module, thus cutting off my users from ftp access. What I'd like to do is get yum to rerun its update procedure, which should allow any post processing that failed to complete properly to do so. I'm hoping that will add whatever missing piece is causing me the grief. What I haven't found in my reading is any way to get this to occur. Yum insists that nothing needs to be updated, and the logs seem to show it. Yet here I am with the one server that actually needs to have ftp access, without it. Things were working fine until the fateful yum update run. I've considered using rpm -F to refresh the files, but from what I can see that won't work. The switch only causes existing packages to be updated. I just don't see any switches in rpm or yum that will enable me to do what I want to attempt. Does anyone know of a wait to cajole yum to do my bidding? Thanks! Barry

FYI the intial .99 version breaks revolving capture queues. http://bugs.ethereal.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=895 The author released a fix for this (pretty quickly too) but I am unsure if RedHat applied the latest CVS fixes (SVN 18032) to this update or not.

cdrecord issues

Rebuilding Raid 1
by Mace Eliason 03 May '06

03 May '06

Trying a different approch. Senario Raid 1 setup Bootable raid drive failed Mirror has been working for almost a month and then rebooted Now can't boot mirror drive grub not mirrored from other drive. I Fixed bootable drive. Question? Can I hook up both drives and boot fixed drive then rebuilt mirror from nonbootable drive to bootable drive? Does the raid automatically rebuilt when I boot with both drives? Can I run a command to rebuilt from one drive to the other and visa versa I want to try it but I am worried that if I hook them up and it boots that because the bootable drive has older info it might over write the other drive. Thanks Can't seem to figure out how to get the other drive bootable.

weird install issue
by Joe Pruett 03 May '06

03 May '06

this existed in 4.2 and i hoped it would magically fix itself in 4.3, but no such luck. if you do a custom install and select the everything package (i'm lazy and don't care if i burn disk space :-), when it gets to cd 4, it will suddenly need disk 1 again to install the comps package and then go back to 4 for the rest of the install. it seems like the comps package would have been installed very early on in the process, so this seems very odd. i can look at the install log if that would do someone some good.

Centos Test repository
by James B. Byrne 03 May '06

03 May '06

I would like to express my appreciation to the maintainers of the CentOS distribution for the degree of thoroughness evidenced in the set up of the test repository at http://dev.centos.org. I was casting around for how to configure my yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to handle a few packages that I must obtain from the test area (firefox, which seems to have moved since yesterday, and postgresql). I expected that at some point I would have to ask for help here on the list, but no, it turns out that my need was foreseen and provided for at: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4.2/CentOS-Testing.repo. Which, after suitably modifying with the addtion of an "includepkgs=" directive works beautifully. So instead of asking for help I am writing to thank you all. Regards, Jim P.S.

My apologies with the HTML encoding on the original post...I'll try not to do that again. ________________________________ From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Phillips, Tod Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 3:05 PM To: centos(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS] Suggestions on initial CentOS 4.3 Install packages Hello, all... I'm attempting to learn Linux (on a CentOS setup) by doing something productive at the same time. I've already installed it twice...once with a "full, just install everything" setup and another by following the Perfect CentOS 4.3 Web Server Setup instructions on HowToForge.com. Though I've had issues with both, I have a lot of patience and time is not a big concern. What I'd like to do is get some advice from the community on a good initial setup for my system by listing out some of the things I hope to do: 1) Set up a test Web Server for development of a soon-to-be-deployed rework of a client's website (I'll host the production site w/ an outside company). 2) I'd like to learn PHP and Apache while I'm reworking the site. 3) Learn all there is to know (ok, maybe just enough to not be dangerous) about securing the server. 4) Develop a program, most likely in C/C++, that can talk with my Company's mainframe and its communications software, either through web services/xml interfaces or directly through some sort of COM / .NET equivalent. The end result would be an application that can run on any Linux box with an Internet connection, giving users the ability to access and modify mainframe data, enter orders, etc. 5) Be able to retrieve email, surf the net, write and read documents (general office stuff) to become both more familiar with Linux apps AND to keep from needing to run to a different PC for these needs when they arise. I know I'll need the X Windows and Gnome stuff, but I'm concerned about dependencies and/or conflicts between the packages necessary for everything I want to do. I certainly want to use the Terminal prompts whenever possible -- particularly for setting up the networking and Apache server -- so that I can begin to learn Linux/Unix. The question really becomes: Can I do it all on one box or am I going to create a nightmare for myself because of overlapping programs that "hijack" critical functions from the web server, or vice-versa? I erased my original install (with everything) because it seemed more important to me to learn what it was I needed and install it manually later on if and when the need arose. Good thinking or...? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated, grayfire1229(a)netscape.net

Yum curiosity: --obsoletes with update, useful or not?
by William L. Maltby 02 May '06

02 May '06

Got a wild hair this A.M. and decided to inundate my two brain cells. "Man yum" includes this: update If run without any packages, update will update every currently installed package. ... assumed to be a shell glob and any matches are then installed. If the --obsoletes flag is present yum will include package obsoletes in its calculations - this makes it better for distro- version changes, for example: upgrading from somelinux 8.0 to somelinux 9. Hmmm. Cell number 2 doesn't forget much. I recall several admonitions that major upgrade should take the form of a new install. E.g. CentOS 3* to CentOS 4*. The paragraph above *seems* to indicate that a major upgrade might be doable? Moreover, it prompts the questions: 1) "What are the downsides, if any?" 2) "Has anybody tried it recently?" 3) "Have any results to report?" No pressing need, just curious. TIA -- Bill

small "$" issue with samba on centos 4x [dnk]
by dnk 02 May '06

02 May '06

Good day..... This is a slightly older issue for me. In the past I had tried to install Samba on a centos 4.0 box, and the useradd tool on Centos 4 would not add the "$" character to the usernames being created. This showed up whenever a domain trust was trying to be established for a computer that was logging into the samba share for the first time. Maybe I messed something up, but it was not an issue on whitebox linux (which i ended up using for the install at that time) At any rate - I was wondering if anyone ran into this issue on the current 4.3 (or even 4.2 for that matter) version? I have another install coming up and I would * really * prefer to use the latest centos build. Thanks! Dustin

freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm is in testing
by Johnny Hughes 02 May '06

02 May '06

We have created a new version of freenx (freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm) and moved it to the testing repo. This is based on the code displayed at the LWE in San Francisco ... http://lwn.net/Articles/146825/ http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8489 (though it is not officially released as stable by the freenx people) This version should handle printing and reconnecting to running sessions much better. Running sessions (on the nx server, that is the machine you are connecting to) are stored in "/var/lib/nxserver/db/running" ... if you have been disconnected in the past, there may be several old sessions out there that need to be cleaned up ... go remove the sessions that are invalid (all of them in that directory if you do not have any open sessions to that server). There is no real auto cleanup of these if your session breaks ... I will try to develop something that works later. In the meantime, if you session list is to big and some are dead, you will have to delete them manually. This version also allows rootless mode, which is faster compression. So far, this is a major improvement to my user experience for NX. ------------------ Copy the testing CentOS-Testing.repo file from here: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/ to /etc/yum.repos.d/ , then use this command to install freenx: yum --enablerepo=c4-testing install freenx nx Report issues with this to the freeenx tracker here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1307 ------------------- A guide for setting up the NoMachine client (to connect to the freenx server, if you installed it) is here: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/ (you only need to do the client items, as the server is taken care of with the above yum install).

Hanging @ Sendmail During Boot
by Mark Sargent 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hi All, I have a coupla queries about my 2 latest installs of CentOS 4-3. When I first installed and logged in as the initial user, everything went well, and the system was fast. A reboot, and 2nd login gave the same. But, upon connecting to the net, the system hung at sendmail for almost 4mins, and then gave an error at login about not finding the host, and that Gnome may not work correctly, with options of Continue or try Again. After that, the system has become extensively slow. Any ideas why this would be this way? This is the 2nd machine, different locations, different media, that this has happened. Rather annoying. Cheers. Mark Sargent.

Raid Questions
by Mace Eliason 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hi, I have a centos 4.2 server setup and running as a zimbra email server. It has 2 18.4Gig SCSI hard drives setup in software raid 1 for mirroring. I had tested the unit before production and found that if I disconnected one of the drives the other wouldn't boot I search and found that I had to modify the boot (I don't remember exactly at the moment) After testing I am sure it worked. On the weekend the power went out and turns out one drive had failed and the server wouldn't boot from the other drive. I am not sure at what point the other drive failed could be days could be weeks ago. What is the proper way to get the system running again? I can fix the failed drive. (damaged pin). When I get it running again will the info on the drive that won't boot be mirror back to the other drive? I am sure the drive that won't boot due to grub and raid is the most current. Thanks for any help Mace
