bugzilla rpm?
by Matt Lawrence 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Does anyone know where to find a RPM of bugzilla for CentOS4 (or RHEL4)? I'm still very new at building RPMs, so I would strongly prefer to get one already built (and by someone who is better at it than I am). -- Matt

USB Problem
by Paul R. Ganci 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

I am having this problem where out of the blue my mouse and UPS will stop functiong. Once this even occurs I will find multiple messages like: Jan 15 10:40:32 nureyev kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: control queue full Jan 15 10:40:42 nureyev kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: control queue full iin /var/log/messages. The only way I can get the mouse and UPS back is to ssh into the affected machine and do: rmmod ohci_hcd modprobe ohci_hcd Then the system will be good from anywhere to a few hours to a week when this occurs again. I am running an up to date Centos 4.2 albeit with the 2.6.9-27 SMP kernel.

Pcmcia notebook card configuration
by Anthony Lordi 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

I just installed CentOS v.2.1 on my laptop, and am not familiar with and wondered if CentOS has a pc card config gui. I have DSL and a dhcp router and modem setup. I can't find a card setup for my wired eth0 card in CentOS. And, I'm command line deprived. Everything seems to work except the pc cards. Both the wired and wireless are Linksys. Help. Tony

Im trying to install an old nvidia driver, the last that has support for obsolete cards.

yum group install [DNK]
by Dustin Krysak 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Hi there -- i am just looking for clarification on the yum "group install" option.... How can you tell what are valid groups? IE I found the below example on google: yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" I have heard references to doing things like: yum groupinstall "Development Tools" But to the point - is there a list of valid groups for install? ---------- Dustin Krysak Backbone Technology Inc. 604.713.8560

CentOS 4.2 x86_64
by Fong Vang 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

I have a couple of 64-Bit Xeon's with CentOS 4.2 x86_64 installed on them. They don't all have the same motherboards. I've having a difficult time getting CentOS 4.2 x86_64 to boot on some of them in SMP mode (UP works fine). After the installation of CD, it boots up but kernel panics with the following error: Badness in i8042_panic_blink at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c:992 This is the call trace: apic_timer_interrupt+133 vgacon_cursor+0 oops_end+64 release_console_sem+369 error_exit+0 :scsi_mod:scsi_delete_timer+19 :3w_9xxx:twa_interrupt+1323 do_IRQ+197 mwait_idle+86 cpu_idle+26 The Uni processor works fine. I tried the SMP kernel from Fedora Core 4 x86_64 which works fine as well. Any idea what's going on here? I've already tried disabling as many things from the BIOS as possible. Thanks for any help.

Remote printing problem
by P Marvin Eberly 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

Hello list, I am trying to set up a remote Epson printer with a Epson print server attached. I am using IPP and when setting up a print queue from system- config-printer, I am unable to print a test page. I get this error: There was a problem sending CUPS test page to 'remote740' queue: lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable I can however print a test page from http://localhost:631/printers, whether I set up the queue in http://localhost:631/printers or in system-config-printer. If I set up a queue from the web interface system-config-printer does not see it, but the web interface sees any queue I set up. This is a fully updated CentOS 4.2 Athlon XP machine and I have this remote printing working perfect from FC3 and from CentOS 3 machines on this network. The queue is never seen in OO or any other apps that I've tried to print from. I am probably missing something simple, but cannot find it. Thanks for any ideas, Marvin

Getting rid of all the .rpmsave files
by Remco Barendse 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

Hi list! After yum upgrade of my CentOS 4.0 to 4.2 x86_64 box I now have countless .rpmsave files, about 90% of them I never touched or are config/start scripts. Does anyone have a neat script that will find all the rpmsave stuff in /etc and then prompts per file whether it can replace the original or not? Somehow doing this all by hand doesn't seem a very attractive idea :) Thanks!!

Why are dots in username & groupname no longer allowed?
by Remco Barendse 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

For some strange reason I am no longer able to create groupnames or usernames (with useradd and groupadd) that contain a dot. Uptill now it was possible to create user&groupnames like c.smith but now I get these errors: [root@server etc]# useradd c.smith useradd: invalid user name 'c.smith' [root@server1 etc]# groupadd c.smith groupadd: c.smith is a not a valid group name Anything without a dot works without problems. The box is a (fully updated) CentOS 3.6 x86_64 box with Dual Opteron cpu. Thanks for any hints!

ATI not supporting dpms
by Sam Drinkard 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

This workbox was thrown together with only a little bit of thought as to what the role would ultimately be, and at the time, I did not think it would ever wind up serving linux applications. Error #1 (my fault) Having a healthy pocketbook when I went into pick things up, I had already decided I wanted a good relatively mid-range graphics card, and I chose the ATI X600. (Error #2) As it turns out, the machine does absolutely nothing I ever intended for it to do, and probably will never fall into the role of a M$ server of any sort. Chalk one up for the good guys! To reduce the number of trips or exchanges back and forth to get it corrected (if that is possible) the software still does not work. Snowman

"nv" driver lock up where new version

I have had my "nv" driver lock up a number of times. I downloaded the "nvidia" drivers and they did not work at 1920x1080 resolution. I am looking for an updated driver for just "nv". I found some once for a different driver that you just update commonXXX and yourdriverXXX not the whole X recompile. Where can I find those drivers? THanks, Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Printing Postscript - Very Weird Problem.
by C.M. Connelly 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

"MZ" == Maciej Żenczykowski <maze(a)cela.pl> MZ> Hey folks, okay, here's the situation - I have a Centos MZ> 4.2 system with cups printing installed printing via MZ> postcript (with appropriate PPD file) to a HP LaserJet MZ> 1320N printer (via jetdirect socket 9100). I have the same setup.... MZ> Everything seems to work right - except for an unusual MZ> 'font'??? problem. Many letters seem to be just slightly MZ> garbled. I have also seen this problem, generally when printing a PDF file (generated with TeX) from gv. If I open the file in Acrobat, it prints fine. I just tried generating some PostScript by piping the output of a command that produces ASCII through ``a2ps -1'', and I see no issues with the printout. If I take a simple LaTeX document and TeX it, producing a DVI file; then run dvips to produce a PostScript file and print that file From gv, I see no issues. On the other hand, if I run that same PostScript file through ps2pdf, then open the PDF file in gv and print it, I see the broken/malformed character issue. Running pdflatex on the source file to get a PDF file gives the same results: looks fine on screen, prints with broken/malformed characters from gv; prints fine from Acrobat. I had the very same problem with a LaserJet 1200 connected via a parallel cable under CentOS 3 a while back, and never really figured out what the deal was beyond this point. The obvious candidate is GhostScript, or gv's use of GhostScript to generate PostScript from the PDF file. Sorry I can't be more specific about what the cause is or a better solution, but at least you know you're not alone in having the problem! Claire P.S. On Will's question -- self tests work fine. It's definitely not the printer, unless it's some weird interaction between its emulated-PostScript interpreter and GhostScript. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Claire Connelly cmc(a)math.hmc.edu Systems Administrator (909) 621-8754 Department of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Hi all, I have few sites which interconnected using a dedicated link. During these few weeks I've found that there are some mysterious traffic pass over my router with constant amount of bandwidth all over the time. I can know this because after working hours, only few applications are running and it did not generate this kind of traffic. Anyone can advice how to detect what kind of traffic that consumes those bandwith? I suspecting its a virus or something else because half of our clients are still using windows. TIA. -- --beast

Looking for server recommendations
by Troy Engel 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

We're going to replace an older Solaris7/Netbackup/TapeRobot server with a new Centos box using backup-to-disk-to-tape (probably using Arkeia). The specs are up in the air, but generally: - CentOS/RHEL friendly (3Ware SATA? SCSI?) - 2U/3U/4U-ish form factor - hotswap RAID5 - dual PS, hotswap a plus - USB2.0 port(s) (*) To give you an idea of where I'm starting to look, take a gander at this page: http://www.serversdirect.com/system_dept.asp?dept_id=SD-043 Obviously we'd like to keep the price low, but realize that a major cost will be the 400GB drives. We may only start with 4 or 5 of them and add more as time goes (LVM), depends on how the costs break down. We've even looked at a Dell 2850 as an option, fyi. Anyone have some good ideas? My main concern is choosing a motherboard with a disk controller that's robust, tried and true with the current standard kernels (or maybe the unsupported branch, but I'd like to stick to the stock RPMs). thanks! -te (*) for those wondering, we like jacking in cheap external USB 1TB lacie drives, syncing data over to them using rdiff, and carrying offsite -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

by Chris Hammond 12 Jan '06

I have installed CentOS 4.2 on an AMD based machine using the ATI chipset (xpress 200) and I am having issues with it. It seems to be a very Linux unfriendly chipset. I have looked at the ATI proprietary drivers but they seem to be for video. My problem is the IDE channel on which you cannot enable DMA. There is serious clock slew also as well as nic issues. There is supposed to be an ATI driver in the kernel that works properly with the IDE controller. Has anyone here had to deal with this chipset (SB400) and been able to compile kernel modules or the such to work around the issues? Thanks Chris

Broadcom NIC Binding under Centos 4.2
by ABOKHALAF, Nassri Abdellatif 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hello all, I'm having unusual difficulty configuring teaming with Centos 4.2. The 2 NIC's are Broadcom. The HW is HP DL360 and there is no teaming driver for RHEL4 since it comes with package (says HP). Since there is no teaming driver from centos (as far as I know), I tried the Broadcom Driver, configured the team file, but the team just wont come up. A Virtual Interface should be up but only eth0 & eth1 appear. I fell really stupid because with Intel this is pretty straightforward. Any clues, any suggestions, Nassri

Backup strategy using 2 HDD + 2 drawers
by Ugo Bellavance 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi, One of my CentOS 4 server is a repository for backups for other machines. In this server, there is a 3ware RAID card and 2 HDD for the OS + data of this server. I also have 2 drawers (each containing one 200GB hdd), connected to a promise TX2000 card. One disk will remain in the server and one will be taken outside. What would be the best strategy for syncing the hdd when I swap them? Note: I don't want to do hot swap. No problem putting this server down once a week. It is a development server.

help with Xlib
by Craig White 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

I have a remote session via ssh/vncviewer and I'm logged in and working. I have opened a terminal and am trying to start the Fedora Directory Server console (not that this should matter)... and thus I am typing (as root)... ./startconsole -x nologo -u admin -a MYHOSTNAME:PORT# & and it fails to launch and returns the following error... Xlib: connection to "MYHOSTNAME:1.0" refused by server Xlib: no protocol specified Console: can't connect to X11 window server using 'MYHOSTNAME:1.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable and of course it then exits I have done this elsewhere - the difference I think is that I originally installed this system without any X stuff but have since added it and am launching this from a GNOME session (so I know X is working). Clues? Craig

Pointer to documentation on PCMCIA network cards

11 Jan '06

A Centos 4.2 workstation install on a notebook with Gnome UI. I have used the system-config-network UI and know a LITTLE bit about ifconfig. ========================================================== How do I 'properly' stop a network card before removing it? Restart it after insertion? Add drivers for: An Orinoco Gold 11b card (the classic. I believe it has the Hermes 2 chips, probably have at least one with the Hermes 1 chips around someplace (I paid $2400 for my first AP and $900 for my first network card years ago)). A DLINK AG660 with the Atheros chipset. A Hawkings card (not with me here in my hotel, can't get model number) with the Broadcom chipset. Of course I did the install on the notebook with a 'classic' 3COM 3CCFE574BT. Got a few different 3COM cards sitting around. But know I have to get wireless working and be able to switch cards.

2 SSH questions
by Robert Moskowitz 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

I am away from my office for the week. In Sacramento for the IEEE 802.1 interim meeting (for anyone in the neighborhood...). And I am working on SSH with my Centos install(s). 1) For right now I am using my XP drive with Tectia client. I have SSHed into my Centos server using password method and uploaded my public key and such. I see everything there. I think. I then delete all authentication methods but public key and am told that no recognized authentication match. When I add password back into my client, I get the password authentication method. My hunch is there is something I need to do with the SSH server config to access client certificate authentication? What do I need to do, and remember, all I have is a text window into my machine (can su) and I do not have my VI manual with me! (I will go and look for one online). 2) later this evening, I will pop in my Centos drive and then SSH from a Centos client. But of course my keys and such are on my XP drive. I know where Tectia keeps all of its keys, as I have moved them from one XP drive to another. Anyone know what I need to do? I do have a USB drive for the transfer. Or I can upload everything to my Centos server, then download to my Centos client. Thank you for your continued help. Oh, I have been going back into all of my threads here and pulling out notes on what to do to avoid asking something more than once.

Compile vs. RPM
by Mickael Maddison 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Hello CentOS, I'm an old hat, and have been compiling my own MySQL, Apache, PHP, OpenSSL, ModSSL, etc. for my webservers for years. I'm playing around with the RPM installs on CentOS, and have basically been able to get most things setup so that they "function" about the same. If I could stick to RPM's rather than compiling my own sources, it would save me a fair bit of time, but of course, it would limit the customization benefit. what I'm wondering, is if anyone on this list has any good reasons why one method would be better, more secure, etc than the other. I'm tempted to start using RPM's instead of compile sources. Comments appreciated, thanks. -- Best regards, Mickael mailto:centos@silverservers.com
