Re: [CentOS] YUM update from RHEL3 to CentOS3 stalls

OK, I got it solved. Thank goodness for a screen that scrolls back a long way!! I was able to pull the install order from the console output (note to self, sending a copy of the console messages to a file would be a good thing). From there I was able to determine what was left off, and the proper order run through. Probably the best method would be to do the following: *Work backwards from the last RPM downloaded. *Since the rpm name might be truncated, do a "rpm -qa | grep rpm name" *You should see 2 versions, the old one and the new one (since the install process itself completed). *Do a "rpm -e --justdb newer rpm name" *Continue through until you reach the transaction that failed. *Do a "yum update rpm name" from that point back down the list in the correct order of the downloads. This will back out just the rpm database entry, and allow you run the yum transaction correctly, including all pre/post/postun scripts. Some thoughts: Once you back out all the database entries, you could probably just run "yum update" which should catch everything that you need. I didn't back things out in the reverse order, but worked from the stopping point on. In hindsight, this is probably what led to a few dependency issues which required the --nodeps flag. A script might work out nicely, but I wanted to watch each transaction for problems. Thanks, Ian

Missing Dependencies
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I finally got to installing TinyCA2 but have some dependency problems: yum localinstall tinyca2-0.7.2-0.noarch.rpm --> Processing Dependency: perl-Gtk2 for package: tinyca2 --> Processing Dependency: perl-MIME-Base64 for package: tinyca2 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: perl-Gtk2 is needed by package tinyca2 Error: Missing Dependency: perl-MIME-Base64 is needed by package tinyca2 I ASSuME this means that these packages are not in the CentOS distro. So where can I find them? Perhaps this is part of CentOSplus??

mail/access revisited
by Sam Drinkard 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

A while back, I posted a note asking if anyone had any ideas why the /etc/mail/access file was not being parsed or utilized in the efforts to stop spam and junk mail. I just looked over things again, and have still not found any reason why it still permits the TLD's I have listed to pass thru. I also thought perhaps there might be some "upper limit" to the number of entries sendmail could handle. What do the sendmail guru's think about that idea? I may reduce the number of entries from the current 275 +/- down to just the most offensive TLD's and see what happens. Short of that, are there any other thoughts ya'll might have as to why it still passes the stuff I want blocked? Thanks.. Sam

OT: routing between eth0 and ppp0 WITHOUT NAT
by James Pifer 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Sorry to post this here, but since last week I've posted to Fedora's mailing list, pptp-devel's list, and linuxgeneral forum. No one has given much for answers, or the people that have replied have not understood what I'm looking for. Hoping someone here can. For the record, I'm doing this on FC3 not CentOS. Anyway, if anyone can provide assistance I would be very appreciative. I'm trying to setup linux as a router instead of a MASQ/NAT over a VPN. So I'm trying to "connect" to private networks using the VPN as the conduit. Here are the details: On a Fedora Core 3 machine 1) running pptpclient 2) pptpclient is configured to do "LAN to LAN" 3) machine set to act as a router: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1 After I make the pptp connection I do: iptables -F When I try to use the connection the machine is still doing NAT. So next I also do: iptables -t nat -F Now, that breaks it so other machines cannot access the remote network at all, even though the static routes are still in place. For example, I have a windows machine that can access the remote network before blowing the nat table away. After blowing the nat table away, if I do a tracert on the windows machine, the tracert stops at the internal nic (eth0) of the FC3 pc with the vpn connection. It is also setup as a router. So it never does an routing. I've also played with lots of different rules found on the net for dealing with H323 over iptables and have had no success. I've also loaded ip_conntrack and that did not make a difference. So the FC3 machine, with a connection to eth0 and ppp0, plus set to act as a router, does not appear to act as a router between eth0 and ppp0. Is it possible to make it be a router between eth0 and ppp0 WITHOUT masquerade? Just be a router.... We have routes on the other side telling the routers how to reach my internal network. To ask the question why? I have an IPPhone that does not work through iptables. In the past I used IPCop as my firewall and connect to my company with branch office VPN. The VPN was great and super stable, but the IPPhone would connect once in a while at best. Research showed the problem was iptables. I now have a hardware router that does branch office and the phone works pretty well. I want to try and get it to work with the above scenrio so I can take the phone with me on the road. I would like to pptp vpn using laptop's wireless NIC. Then have the phone directly connected to the 10/100 NIC with a crossover cable. Maybe I'm in a dreamland and this is not possible, I don't know. Any assistance is appreciated. James

Thanks Johnny. Well, here is some good news (I hope). I was able to scroll back on the console, and it looks like all of the RPMs were installed, but it is the actual post-install scripts that were interrupted. I checked the list of what was installed vs. the list of what was dowloaded/needed, and they match. So, any ideas on how to complete the post-install process? Ian

YUM update from RHEL3 to CentOS3 stalls
by iank＠mac.com 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi all, I just ran into a problem. I was following the nifty procedure to upgrade a WhiteHat/RHEL3.x box to CentOS 3.6 and the update hung. It was in the process of updating MySQL server, and a post install scriptlet apparently failed. So I killed the process with a CTRL-C. However, upon trying to restart YUM, it says there is nothing left to, saying: Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3 - Base Server: CentOS-3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers No Packages Available for Update No actions to take However, the MySQL server package was 121/172, so there should be 51 packages left. Unless the output to the screen was killed off, but the process continued? I have yet to reboot for fear something is in a very unstable state. Any ideas? Thanks, Ian

hdparm strangeness

I've got a brand new .5U P4 system running several (I think) Seagate 80gig SATA drives. I tried to copy data from the first drive (sda) to the second drive (sdc) and was only getting about 1.7megs/sec. So I figured DMA was off. And this is what happened when I typed "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc": /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) Any suggestions? I've never had this type of problem before. Thanks,

Network card w/special module
by Eduardo Grosclaude 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hello, I have this cheap network card which insists on me compiling its own sundance.ko module every time I update my kernel release. I had the poor idea to leave nightly yum service enabled on this remote server, only to find my network was gone at the following reboot. Had to go there, figure out that kernel stuff is carefully avoided by up2date, but not so by yum service, and rebuild. Compiling and installing is just a matter of some simple commands, and in the meantime I have disabled yum service. But I was wondering if there is already some provision to automate building kernel version dependent modules, or whatever. Should I hook on yum? Thank you in advance! -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

/etc/exports file and any machine mount

I have to explicitly have a machine name like: /home/CentOS.iso machine(ro,secure,no_all_squash,no_root_squash) for it to mount. I have been looking at the nfs man page and dont see why this is not working still. How do I let any machine mount the /home/CentOS.iso directory. Thanks, Jerry

Lots of core files from 'gst-thumbnail'
by Bart Schaefer 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I presently have 17 core.* files in my home directory, all dropped by 'gst-thumbnail'. GDB backtraces are predictably useless, indicating only that the crash came indirectly from libgsttypefindfunctions.so. I don't find anything about this in the CentOS bug tracker. Has anyone else seen a similar problem? Running "strings" on the core files finds that they all mention either file:///home/schaefer/.mozilla/schaefer/tq3v7zkg.slt/history.dat or file:///home/schaefer/.mozilla/firefox/xsml50fe.default/history.dat And indeed I was browsing those directories (doing some manual import of old mozilla data into my new firefox config) at the time stamped on all the core files. schaefer[513] rpm -qf =gst-thumbnail nautilus-media-0.8.1-3 schaefer[514] rpm -qf /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgsttypefindfunctions.so gstreamer-plugins-0.8.5-1.EL.0

Apache, fastcgi, ruby-on-rails etc.
by Michael Metz 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hi all, I've read a bit about fastcgi, and wondered if it might be an interesting solution for e.g. running php in a user-switched environment or running ruby-on-rails etc. But I wonder why nobody (searched on Google) seems to use CentOS with mod_fastcgi for Apache 2.x. And I also wonder why people actually using Apache 2.x and ruby-on-rails with CentOS did run a lighthttpd-fastcgi inbetween and reverse-proxying requests from Apache to lighthttpd to actually forward them to RoR running as fastcgi. Could sombody please give me a hint? Regards, Michael

Moving files to new server

Hello, The new server is in and I am about to attempt the file transfers. I have NEVER attempted this and want to do it right the first time. Reading the man pages for cp and scp it looks as if the -a switches are different. Are they? I want/am going to transfer files/directories across the local network. Should I work from the new machine or the old? What files are machine dependent? In other words, what files, if any, should not be copied because of hardware differences? Sorry for all the seemingly stupid questions but as I said, I have never undertaken this before. TIA

I have been using kernel from centosplus for a few months. It quite stable and have support for my TV card and ntfs partitions.

In fact, i still have kernel 2.6.9-22.106.unsupport on my system but whenever i use this kernel, the cupsd can not start. Can anyone tell me when the kernel 2.6.9-34.unsupport available? If nobody make that unsupport kernel, how can i roll back all the packages that can be use with kernel 2.6.9-22-106.unsupport or how can i add driver for my TV card and ntfs support?

sshd hack

I'm not really a programmer and I recently came across this hack to insert a short sleep statement into auth-passwd.c within sshd. It seems to quickly confuse automated dictionary attacks. I've moved sshd to higher ports but apparently the cretins are now scanning to look for that and attacking on whatever port sshd shows up on. Anyway, the link to the hack is here: http://www.aerospacesoftware.com/ssh-kiddies.html Just wondering if any of the wizened programmers out there can think of any reason why this would be a bad thing to do.

Q's about switching from sendmail to postfix
by Joe Klemmer 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Running CentOS 4.2 with all updates. I've been using sendmail for my MTA since forever. I've grown used to it and I can make it do what I want it to. However (there's always a catch, isn't there)... Lately it seems that some mail is being lost. I've noticed some instances when a message was sent to myself and others which I will only see if someone replies back to everyone. Additionally, I am on the word-a-day list and have noticed that occasionally I don't get the word for that day. At first I thought it was just me. My .procmailrc is a horror to look at and I've got some fairly aggressive anti-spam stuff going on. But my mother has mentioned this problem, too. (I have my whole family setup with email on my server, good son that I am) Anyway, I want to try swapping out sendmail for postfix to see if that makes any kind of difference. Now, I promise to hit the HOW-TO's and FAQ's and google/A9 myself blue in the face, but if someone has already done this could you kindly post a quick message with any "gotchas" you found or any config issues you ran into it would be greatly appreciated.

I just yum-installed the 2.6.9-34 kernel RPMs and rebooted, and lo and behold, my other onboard NIC is now detected, after a fashion. /etc/sysconfig/hwconf now has entries for: device: eth0 driver: forcedeth desc: "nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller" device: eth2 driver: sky2 desc: "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller" The device/desc lines for both were always there, but previously the device now identified as eth2 had neither a driver assigned nor a recognized hwaddr, and if I disabled either device in the BIOS, then the remaining enabled device would take on the same driver/hwaddr that has otherwise been listed for eth0. The odd thing still is that according to the motherboard manual, the two onboard NICs are identical, so I still don't know why one shows up as nVidia and the other as Marvell. If I wasn't afraid of messing up my working configuration I'd try deleting them both and letting them be rediscovered, just to see if anything else changes.

Help with installing on Supermicro X6DHT-G server Marvell H2 SATA
by Chris Mason (Lists) 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

I am trying to build a file server with 1 x 80 GB main drive and 4 x 500 GB SATA drives in RAID in a Supermicro 3U server. I found out the hard way that Centos 4.2 does not have a driver for the onboard Marvell H2 controller the drives are connected to. Supermicro techs sent me aar81xx.rhel4qu2.i686.img as an img file. I used dd to copy to a floppy and dd confirmed successful write. I booted Centos 4.2 and chose linux dd. When prompted I inserted the floppy and the driver was loaded. However, when it came to partitioning the drives, no drives could be found. I tried loading the driver during install using F2 for "other drivers", still no go. Has anyone had success with this process or am I doing it wrong? The img file can be downloaded from http://www.masonc.com/aar81xx.rhel4qu2.i686.img if anyone would like to test it. -- Chris Mason NetConcepts -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
