Groups and rpms
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

yum grouplist is almost ok for learning what groups are available.Though it does not distinguish between base/manditory and added in the installed list. But yum list is not really helpful. I would like to see something of what rpms are within what group. then what rpms are not in any group. And which groups and stand-a-lone rpms are base. maybe it can be teased out of comp.xml...

X broken after up2date
by Geert Batsleer 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Hello, I've installed Centos 4.2 X86_64 on a PE2800 box with a Radeon 700 card and a generic Dell monitor. After running up2date before putting this box in production and make a reboot I can't get into X anymore, my monitor shows a message "out of sync" and that's it. So I tried logging in via ssh to run 'setup' and to use the X setup program, but it doesn't want to start. So I changed /etc/inittab to 3 insead of 5 and rebooted again. Now running setup from the box itself still doesn't seem to work quite well. I only get the message probing and that's about it. The videcard or monitor are still working flawlessy because using a live CD with X isn't a problem. Any ideas what went wrong? Because I'm thinking of reinstalling but don't want to run into this same problem again.. kind regards, Geert

Whereis system-config-kickstart
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… To use Kickstart Configurator, you must be running the X Window System. To start Kickstart Configurator, select Applications (the main menu on the panel) => System Tools => Kickstart, or type the command /usr/sbin/system-config-kickstart. Can't find it. Now my system has: %packages @ gnome-desktop @ base-x @ kde-desktop Amongst others. So where is it hiding? Also when you get to: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… How do you specify the geometry of the drive that will be used?

Anyone point me in the direction of a good howto on kickstarting an 1850 or 2850 with the latest 4.x release - I presume one does not use a ks floppy anymore as the kernel would be too big ? thanks

I did not see an answer in later digests yet ] FYI, you can use the '-d ata' option to smartctl to talk to your SATA devices with the -34 kernel. I've been doing this with a 2.6.15.4 kernel, but back-reved to 2.6.9-34 to test this and was successful. So if you edit your /etc/smartd.conf, you can have a line like: /dev/sda -d ata -H -m root(a)localhost.localdomain and you interactively do: smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda Regards, Ken Key

Eggcups printer icon not showing up in panel
by Steve Bergman 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

I did a "side grade" on a client's machine freom FC2 to Centos4.2. I am not seeing the eggcups printer icon appear when the user sends a print job. One problem was that I had to copy /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.rpmnew into place so that the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable got set correctly. The messagebus service is running, as well as hal. There is a notification area in the panel. I can manually start eggcups and not get an error. (It returns 0). But it immediately exits, and no printer icon. Am I missing something? I'm not particularly familiar with eggcups and its required configs. Thanks for any help, Steve Bergman

ATI X300 on CentOS 4
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hello Everyone, I'm running the x86_64 bit version of CentOS 4 on a dual AMD Opteron server. The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X300. At the moment, Xorg is configured to use the open source driver, radeon. The server itself is connected to a KVM switch, which has otherwise not caused any issues. Recently, the virtual terminals have started to go blank and then not come back. What I mean by that is that the VTs from 1 to 7 do not display anything (the server is typically running in run level 5). I thought perhaps DPMS was on, but no amount of typing on the keyboard brings them back. I then considered it was related to the vga=791 parameter I was passing to the kernel - there were many mtrr errors reported in /var/log/messages. However, removing that parameter hasn't fixed the problem. Restarting GDM or changing the server's run levels doesn't work either. Only a reboot resolves the issue. (Hmmm...now that I think about it, removing the radeon module and adding it again might be equivalent to the reboot). There's nothing in /var/log/messages or in the xorg log file to indicate a problem. All the tty processes are running normally. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before. If so, is switching to the proprietary driver the only option? Is there anything else I can look at? I'm suspecting it's a driver issue, and so will shortly try the proprietary driver from ATI.

Hi, I have a server that have an aplication that runs on RH7.3 and in Centos 2.1 Currently, it runs RH7.3 with yum updates from fedora-legacy My question is, should I update to Centos 2.1 or stay in RH7.3? What are my advantages of migrating to Centos 2.1? My concern are more about security updates in the next 2 years. Many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>

Mixing FTP and HTTP file transfers
by John Hinton 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

How do I deal with this? A content management system which writes to a user's directory as user apache. A customer that wants to be able to FTP through a FTP client and vsftpd those same files up and down, which is presently set to work with only their username. I don't want everything set 777 or even 707. Is there a way to allow a particular user to download and upload files owned by apache, and I would assume, when uploading, those files will need to be chown apache so the CMS can access and update them? I'm looking for a best solution which is not going to be troublesome in the future and which is not going to have adverse effects on security. Thanks, John Hinton

Printing from apps as a regular user...
by Jose Alburquerque 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hi. I mostly use my system as a super-user and so I can mostly do everything without worrying too much about permissions. Not too long ago I created a "general" user account which is automatically logged in after a few seconds for others to have (limited) access to the system. Mostly everything works (ie. CD/DVD writing, sound, floppy access, etc.) But when it comes to printing, only a specific "lpr" at the command prompt does the job. I've tried printing from mozilla, ggv and firefox without success. The funny thing is that an app such as gedit does print. (I'm guessing it's because gedit uses some sort of a2ps -> lpr combination). I have an Epson Stylus C82 connected via a USB cable and my system is running CUPS. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks so much. Sincerely Jose

Good morning gurus, I would like to get recommendation for monitoring temperature for cpu using Asus P5WD2 motherboard and Intel D 820. I my installation has CPU cooling system changed from Intel bulk to Zalman CNPS9500 and it works. Normal Intel cooling system is not enough and is overheating cpu quite badly. Unfortunately Zalman has to be controlled (rpms) manually and thus I would like to see the temperature. Which program is doing well this task ? Regards, Kari

/dev/console not getting created...
by James Olin Oden 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hi All, I've been trying to put together a one off CentOS 4 based distro, and I ran into some trouble. First off just so you know we've been doing this with CentOS 3 and with RedHat 9 before that, so the inexperience is only with the delta between CentOS 3 and CentOS 4 (and RHEL 3 and RHEL 4 by extension). Anyway, the problem is that for some reason /dev/console is not getting created. We get completely through the installation, in what looks like a successful manner, but when we reboot at the point init would come up with see nothing at all, and there it sits. I went through many contortions including including using bash as init and then starting init manually with strace turned on. This all lead to the conclusion that for some reason init was not getting a console. I happened to look in the dev directory between a normal minimal install of CentOS 4 and our "minimal install" and noticed there was no /dev/console. I manually added this and now the system boots fine. For now I've added the creation of /dev/console to the end of the kickstart's %post, which works, but does anyone have any ideas why its not being created? Thanks...james

Missing Dependency problem while upgraing a pure (?) whitebox 4 install to Centos 4.2
by Sanjay Arora 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hi all I don't have the full Centos 4 CD distro, only the minimal server one (single CD). I use whitebox 4 for desktop installs and then change the necessary files whitebox-release, diskdumputils, yum etc. & change it to centos...never had a problem. This time however, I don't know why, but I chose the "Everything" option in the package selection dialog during install. Post installation, I changed the server to centos, by changing the appropriate files & installed postgreSQL 8.1 from local HDD using yum localinstall option...it installed perfectly. Then I gave a yum -y update command & went to sleep...& found the errors below in the morning. I agree that it is not a centos problem...but whitebox too is a RHEL derived OS and quite strict about remaining with the upstream. One doubt I have is that maybe I'm mistaken & the fresh install was not a fresh install after all (done in the middle of night with drooping eyes)...the earlier install on this system was centos 4.2 with centos extras & dag repo enabled and I may have chosen not to format the system & keep data or maybe the upgrade method. Can someone look at the files below & tell me these are from out of centos 4.2 repo and confirm the above doubt (another prob is that the rpm database should have been recreated on fresh install & there should be an upgrade log file in my root from anaconda...not there) Comments? Also, how do I downgrade packages using yum to get out of this dependency hell? Can I do it with one yum command or do I have to uninstall packages creating problems one by one? Sanjay.

For the interested, I've been debugging a similar problem all day yesterday. In my case it's not a transparent proxy, but it's a proxy that for some awful reason doesn't seem to want to support byte-ranges. Python urlgrabber doesn't seem to handle asking for a byte range and getting back the whole file, so it chucks the whole rpm to disk where yum is expecting just the header. So a possible solution is to fix your proxy to handle byte-ranges (assuming that's the problem - a packet sniff of the transaction should show it up pretty quickly, if the response that comes back is a HTTP 200 rather than a HTTP 206) HTH, Craig Miskell ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from AgResearch Limited is intended only for the persons or entities to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

can't boot from install cd
by Richard Andrews 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

We are migrating from Fermi Labs linux distro to the Centos 3.6 distro. So far all of the Dell's we have installed on have worked fine but we have two generic servers that are using Tyan Thunder K7X motherboards with built in Adaptec Ultra 160 SCSI using AIC7899 chipset. When we try to install on these systems the install cd seems to lockup loading the AIC7xxx driver. Adaptec says they do not support OEM embedded products and Tyan says that any embedded firmware is included in the bios upgrades which we have upgraded. We can migrate "online" by following the White-box to Centos migrate instructions and that works fine but it worries me that if I lost a hard drive in one of these systems I could not install Centos directly. Any suggestions for work arounds? Thanks Rich A.

error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0
by Ian mu 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hiya all, am currently running centos 4 on a dual xeon (emt64). I get the following error.."error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0" from a dell info app. I'm guessing its because currently it wants the 32bit ver of pam? (As the file can be found fine in /lib64). Tried linking, but guessed that wouldn't work. Does it need a compat set of libs for it libpam.so.0, or is it ok to just yum install pam.i386 or is that going to break it, so was hoping for some gentle guidance as not so familiar with the 64 bit side yet :/. Thanks in advance, Ian

Printing problem
by Jose Alburquerque 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi. I've been running CentOS 4 since it was released (since 4.0). I did a fresh install and have kept it updated using up2date and yum so at present my system is running CentOS 4.2. I mostly use my system as a super-user and so I can mostly do everything without worrying too much about permissions. Not too long ago I created a "general" user account which is automatically logged in after a few seconds for others to have (limited) access to the system (default desktop is GNOME). Mostly everything works (ie. CD/DVD writing, sound, floppy access, etc.) But when it comes to printing, only a specific "lpr" at the command prompt (in a terminal) does the job. I've tried printing from mozilla, ggv and firefox without success. The funny thing is that an app such as gedit does print. (I'm guessing it's because gedit uses some sort of a2ps -> lpr combination). I have an Epson Stylus C82 connected via a USB cable and my system is running CUPS. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks so much. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

PXE boot, Kickstart NFS install and %include...
by Will McDonald 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific stuff split out into separate configs. I've tried this configuration... [root@archive kickstart]# cat centos4-install-ks.cfg # Kickstart to build default CentOS system # # $Id: centos4-install-ks.cfg,v 1.2 2006/03/13 14:21:32 root Exp root $ # # Setup kickstart defaults (keyboard, NFS server etc.) %include /opt/kickstart/include/kickstart.cfg # Setup partitions (mailstore specific) %include /opt/kickstart/include/disk.cfg # Package list to install %packages %include /opt/kickstart/include/packages.cfg %post # Setup /etc/hosts with required ip/name mappings (mailstore specific) %include /opt/kickstart/include/hosts.cfg # Setup CentOS Yum repository %include /opt/kickstart/include/centos4-yum.cfg # Add CentOS GPG key used to sign their RPM packages rpm --import /usr/share/doc/centos-release-4/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 # Setup Dag repository %include /opt/kickstart/include/dag4-yum.cfg # Setup users and their authorized_keys %include /opt/kickstart/include/users-and-keys.cfg # Setup secure SSHD configuration %include /opt/kickstart/include/secure-sshd.cfg # Setup Sudo %include /opt/kickstart/include/sudo.cfg # Setup Nagios Remote Plugin Execution %include /opt/kickstart/include/nagios-nrpe.cfg # Setup Bacula, /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf still needs to have the finalised # hostname entered manually :( (for now) %include /opt/kickstart/include/bacula.cfg # Install "standard" additional components yum -y install keychain bash-completion multitail webmin And a sample of one of the modular configs... [root@archive kickstart]# cat include/secure-sshd.cfg # Lock down sshd_config to only accept SSH2 keybased auth mkdir -p /etc/ssh/RCS ci -t-"Main SSHD configuration file." -u /etc/ssh/sshd_config co -l /etc/ssh/sshd_config cat <<EOF > /etc/ssh/sshd_config # # Main SSHD configuration file. # # \$Id\$ # # FILE UNDER RCS, DO NOT EDIT WITHOUT CHECKING OUT!!! Port 22 Protocol 2 HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV PermitRootLogin without-password StrictModes yes PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys IgnoreRhosts yes PasswordAuthentication no X11Forwarding yes EOF ci -m"Kickstart: Secured SSH configuration, locked down to keys-only config." -u /etc/ssh/sshd_config Which doesn't work, Anaconda runs and starting prompting for input as it would for a manual install. If I include everything pre-%post (IYSWIM) in the main Kickstart file then everything works as expected up till the %post %includes when Anaconda complains it can't find blah.cfg, presumably because it's not local. I could live with the body of Kickstart config in the main file and then manually NFS mount and reference the modular configs, if I have to, but I wondered is there a better method? I've Googled around a bit and found these threads from '02... https://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2002-May/msg00184.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2005-October/msg00080.h… Which clarify what's going on but not really how people deal with %include and NFS. Will.

Centosplus & CentOS Extras, Enlarge your tent
by Jim Smith 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I think Jim (the other one) is doing a marvellous job with extras and plus but he needs to expand the size of his tent. A sensible package policy in extras/plus repo will mean fewer temptations to install 3rd party repo's that can break your system. Some of the packages i would like to see are :- - MySQL 5 rpms - php 5 rpms (already provided) - Open Office 2.0 rpms - webmin - rkhunter - chkrootkit - tripwire - Adobe, Realplayer & Java plugins (though licensing might be a hindrance) - wine from winehq __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Controller detection order
by Nick Wales 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi, I have a dell poweredge 850 with centos 4, freshly installed. I'm now trying to add in a fibre -> sata raid enclosure with LSI HBA's in the 850. My problem is the enclosure gets detected first, hijacking sda and sdb from the internal SATA drive and causing kernel panic at boot time. I've tried changing the order in modprobe to the following: alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 tg3 alias eth2 e1000 alias eth3 e1000 alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptbase alias scsi_hostadapter2 mptscsih alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd previously ata_piix was below the other two. This hasn't made any difference though. Can anyone suggest any solutions? thanks Nick

SMART for SATA devices ?
by Bards1888 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I noticed that the changelog for the new kernel 2.6.9-34 on the redhat enterprise watchlist states on of the fixes as; 145061 - SMART support in SATA driver (P1) Does this mean that with that kernel we should be able to interrogate SATA drives now ? Cheers, Bards.

Has anyone had any luck with getting the Dell TrueMobile 1400 A/B/G wireless card working under Linux? I have experimented with ndiswrapper, i have had nothing but problems trying to get it to work. I was wondering if anyone has found a native Linux driver for the card. It uses a Broadcom 4309 chipset. Regards, Peter

CentOS4 on Dell Inspiron 9300
by Matt Lawrence 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I just purchased a Dell Inpiron 9300 from the Dell Outlet store. Installing CentOS4 went very, very smoothly until I tried configuring X. The 17" screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio with a 1920x1200 resolution. The best I could manage using system-config-display was 1600x1200. So, after a bit of research, I hand editted the xorg.conf file (reproduced below) and it now works great. Maybe there was a simpler solution, but I didn't know one. Enlightenment would be welcome, but in the meantime, here's a solution that works. Enjoy. # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

Darwin Streaming Server
by Mike 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Greetings CentOS Fans. I've downloaded the "Redhat 9" version of Darwin Streaming Server from Apple. The binary seems to load and run, but I can't get it to actually stream any files. Not a CentOS issue, but I am curious if anyone else is running Darwin Streaming Server on CentOS, and what they had to do to get it to work correctly. Apple's website seems to be all over the place, and the .pdf's I've found seem to be barely helpful. Thanks. Mike

by Thomas E Dukes 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hello, I am having problems with video in X. I get an over frequency issue using the stock CentOS 4.2 driver. I have searched IBM and Intel for the driver but no luck. Occassionally I see something about need to load a kernel module for agpgart. How do I do this? Anyone have a similar setup or know where I can find the driver? TIA
