Hi, I am trying to configure my X. I have a completely differnet monitor. The old command was XFree86 -configure. I tried Xorg -configure and it is not found. I need to be able to see the selections on the screen. I tried system-config-display --reconfig and that works but I it selects the VESA generic. I need the list of display choices like it used to present. Where is that under centos??? THanks so much.. Jerry

named is up but does not respond to queries
by Arun K. Khan 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

CentOS 4.1/bind-9.2.4-2. I have named serving as a cache DNS server plus SOA for a local intranet zone. The problem I am encountering - over a period of time it stops responding to queries. nmap scan from a different host shows port 53 is visible. I can telnet to the port but all queries to server time out. So much so that "service named status" and "service named restart" hang. I have to manually kill the named process before I am able to start named again (I do remove the lock/pid files manually as well). This has occurred about 4 times since I installed CentOS 4.1 4 weeks ago. I have not encountered any problem with other services running on the same server. I looked through /var/log/messages and did not find any errors logged by named. I'd appreciate any thoughts/suggestions to debug this problem. Here is what I have tried so far to figure out the problem: (from 192.168.1.150) $ host www.yahoo.com 192.168.1.21 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached # nmapfe of 192.168.1.21 (from 192.168.1.150) (The 1208 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 53/tcp open domain (ssh'd into named server using IP# 192.168.1.21) # service named status rndc: recv failed: operation canceled TIA, -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

Server freeze
by Hugo Perez Casanova 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi all. Two days ago a server got freezed, not responding at console or by LAN. I noticed both caps lock and scroll lock LEDs at the keyboard flashing. I think this could be a hardware problem, but I don't recall where I read about this flashing indicators. The hardware is an Intel based white box PC running CentOS 3.5 fully updated. Anybody knows what the flashing LEDs means? Regards.

php help please
by Melinda Odom 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi, My system uses CentOS 3.5 plus Plesk 7.5.3 reloaded for the server administration for customers. Qmail is the MTA. A couple of days ago I ran yum list updates and there were these packages to update: php i386 4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1 update php-imap i386 4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1 update php-mysql i386 4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1 update php-pgsql i386 4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1 update When I ran yum update they all updated and seemed like everything was fine. Then I found out that all of my ecommerce stores using osCommerce had an error in the admin that could not send mail and it seemed to be isolated to the admin until I tried to put an order through on my test store and other live stores where the same error showed up while trying to checkout so nobody could check out or order anything. This is the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/admin/includes/classes/email.php on line 502 The server support people eventually put back those php listings to php-4.3.2-24.ent to solve the problem so people could shop. In the meantime the php.ini file had a listing in it called: ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i which was used with php-4.3.2-24 was changed to: ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /var/qmail/bin/sendmail -t -i when it was updated to php-4.3.2-25 Now that the server is back using php-4.3.2-24 the listing is: ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /var/qmail/bin/sendmail -t -i I have left this as is for the moment. ================================= ================================= Further, support said the reason the yum update caused these problems was because there were no mail extensions in the php updates so they put this line in the yum.conf to keep further conflicts that may arise with Plesk: exclude=mod_ssl* httpd* perl mysql* php* For nearly a year I have been doing yum updates without any line like this in the yum.conf file and am now afraid to run any security updates if my ecommerce stores are going to stop working. Plesk says in any of their updates to check and see if you have this program or better which I have always had a better version than what they suggest on the server. ================================= ================================= Also, in the /etc/redhat-release file I have had this listing from the beginning in it so I could use the Plesk updater within the Plesk server admin area: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 4) The server support people are now telling me to put it to CentOS which I have been asking them about this for months now and only now are they telling me this: CentOS release 3.4 (final) This setting causes the Plesk updater within the Plesk server admin area to have this error so I cannot use this listed as is: Error: You are using CentOS Linux 2.2, but autoinstaller was compiled for RedHat Enterprise Linux 3. Exiting autoinstaller... ================================= Is this line, exclude=mod_ssl* httpd* perl mysql* php* really suppose to be in the yum.conf file? Since Plesk supports CentOS 3.3 and Redhat Enterprise 3 should I be able to update mod_ssl, httpd, perl mysql, and php via yum update without these problems I would think? There is only one problem that is happening now and it is just on my personal domain with my test osCommerce store...I get the order and contact emails but when I log into the admin to send a status email from the orders/edit section the email never hits the server using "tail" to watch for it and I never get the email. However, I can put an order through one of my other store sites and use this order/edit status email function and get the email all the time so this problem is specific to my personal domain only with a fresh install of the osCommerce store so don't understand this at all. I hope I have posted the information necessary and that someone can help me. Thank you. Sincerely, Melinda Odom www.designhosting.biz 479-471-0891 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

logrotate broken on 4.1
by scott.list 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi all: logrotate is broken on my stock 4.1 install. After hunting and hunting I found there is a bug filed with Redhat on the issue. logrotate fails becasue my /tmp partition is mounted noexec. I understand it is that way for security reasons. The box in question is on a dedicated hosting site and that's the way it was handed off to me, built. Some said setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp;export TMPDIR would fix it. My /var/tmp is not on a noexec partition so I'm good there. Setting TMPDIR however does not fix it. I've tried adding the variable in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate, I tried it after a prerotate inside the actual syslog logrotate file, netiher worked. I finally had to remount /tmp and remove the noexec. I have the stock 4.1 logrotate, I understand some later versions *may* address the TMPDIR but I hate to start straying off the stock/stable path since the main reason I am running Centos4.1 is to have a stable server platform that is maintained via yum update alone. Has anyone fixed this on 4.1? Or have a workaround besides setting /tmp to exec or changing logrotate versions? Thanks, Soctt

xfs module not loading
by Fong Vang 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

I'm trying to add XFS and ReiserFS to CentOS, integrating with Kickstart. I think I'm fairly close. I've added xfs.ko and reiserfs.ko to modules.cgz in initrd. Several of my partitions now specify --fstype=xfs. I can see tty5 mkfs.xfs is creating the XFS file systems. The system currently installs completely via kickstart, but it does not mount the XFS file systems while in the kick process. /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab is populated correctly. In tty2, lsmod does not show that the xfs module is loaded (ext3 is in the list). I tried loading it manually with modprobe and insmod but I don't think it's loading (no error message at all -- no error). BTW, as with Fedora, I also specified 'xfs' as an option to syslinux/pxelinux. What else am I missing? Thanks for any help.

mount.cifs and UID mapping

Hi! I have mounted samba disk with mount.cifs (smbmount has problems with codepage [Czech] - I can't use it). How do I map the server UID/GID to client UID/GID? (I can't have the same UIDs/GIDs on all computers.) Classic mount parameters uid/gid can't be used if "CIFS Unix extensions" are used on Samba server. Google has not answered my questions (maybe I asked wrong). Thanks, pf

Where do my RPMs actually go, and is it different for Red Hat builds?
by Dave Gutteridge 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

I'm trying to install themes for KDE. In doing so, I came across the following web site which seems to have the themes I want as RPMs: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/17/dept/3/idg/User+Interface_Desktop The theme I want is called "Thinkeramik", and it has the following versions, for various Red Hat builds: thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.el3.kde.i386.rpm RedHat EL 3 thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.el4.kde.i386.rpm RedHat EL 4 thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.fc2.kde.i386.rpm Fedora 2 thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.fc3.kde.i386.rpm Fedora 3 thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.fc4.kde.i386.rpm Fedora 4 thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.rh73.kde.i386.rpm RedHat 7.X thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.rh90.kde.i386.rpm RedHat 9 I've read on this list that CentOS is equal to Red Hat 9, or to Red Hat EL 4. So I'm not sure which download I should get, or which is better. But in any case, I tried both Red Hat 9 and Red Hat EL 4. In either case, when I click to download (in FireFox), I'm given the option to install, so I do, and I enter my root password. It all seems to go fine, without errors. If I go to the command prompt and query the existence of the RPM, it's there: [root@localhost dave]# rpm -q thinkeramik thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.rh90.kde Then I go to the KDE Theme Manager in the Control Center, and here's where I hit the wall. The theme "Thinkeramik" is not automatically listed as one of the themes, so I click to "Install New Theme...". But I have no idea where to look. The RPM has been isntalled... somewhere, but I have no idea what directory to look in. I looked on Google to try and figure out if there was an option with the rpm command to locate the files associated with the RPM package, but was unsuccessful. Where should I look for the theme related files that the RPM should have theoretically installed? Dave

64 bit hardware and filesystem size limit
by Sean Staats 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

We recently bought a 32-bit Xeon system with a 12-port 3Ware RAID card and a dozen 500GB drives. We wanted to create 4TB drive arrays; however, we soon discovered that there is about a 2.2TB drive array size limit on 32-bit hardware. Does that sound correct? Would replacing the 32-bit mobo/cpu with a 64-bit mobo/cpu allow us to use drive arrays larger than 2.2TB? Thanks.

Kickstart BOOT kernel

23 Aug '05

Could someone tell me how the kernel used for kickstart (called the BOOT kernel in RH 9 days) is created? How does one generate this kernel using rpmbuild of the src rpm? I'm just trying to undertstand the differences. Thanks for any help.

OT: BIOS upgrades and booting without a floppy drive
by Bart Schaefer 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

I've got a machine running CentOS 3.5 with an Intel D865GBF motherboard and I've been having an occasional "event" where disk-intensive activity (such as running "yum check-update" or starting up OpenOffice) causes the load average to spike and X11 to become unresponsive (as in, the pointer won't even track the mouse) for a few seconds. The machine always recovers and returns to normal, but it's getting a bit annoying. I saw one thread in which the suggested solution for a vaguely similar problem was to switch from the SMP kernel with hyperthreading to the UP kernel, but that hasn't made much difference. Then I saw Dave G's recent thread in which a more severe yum-related lockup was solved with a BIOS upgrade. I see there's a D865GBF BIOS upgrade on the Intel site, dating from May. Problem is it comes only as either a Windows installer, or a bootable floppy -- and not only does this machine not have a floppy drive, but the case configuration is such that the DVD-ROM drive blocks access to the floppy connector on the motherboard, so I'm looking at minor surgery just to stick one in temporarily. Is there any clever way around this? Some way to make a bootable CD from the floppy image, for example? Or must I grit my teeth and bring out the screwdrivers?

Need a little kick start to compile appletalk module
by Craig White 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

RHEL 4 (and thus CentOS 4) do not have appletalk module included. CentOSPlus rather thoughtfully has the 'unsupported' version which would have the appletalk module but I have been unable to get the old megaraid driver to run compiled from the kernel-devel for these 'unsupported' kernels. Thus I would love to simply compile the appletalk module myself from the standard kernel-devel for the standard i686/i686smp kernels as I have to do for the old megaraid driver. Thus it would appear, that I would need the kernel source for this. How would I 'isolate' the appletalk kernel stuff? Would I install the kernel-sourcecode rpm - like... <http://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4.1/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/kernel- sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL.noarch.rpm> and hunt down the appletalk directory and compile the module separately pretty much as I do with the older megaraid code? Is it reasonable to hope that the necessary code for the appletalk kernel module would be contained in one subdirectory? Is there an easier way that I am missing? Craig

YUM is seriously fubar
by Dave Gutteridge 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Okay, I have over 9 gigs of spare room on my main hard drive, so I don't think var is filling up. I've set prelinking to be off (I think), and yet still, YUM continues to freeze my computer. If I try to do a search or install, about half the time it will go nuts on the hard drive, I lose control of the mouse, and eventually I have no choice but to hard reset. What's wrong with YUM? Dave

Contemplating Move
by Mike McCarty 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hello, all. New to list. I hope this isn't an FAQ. I looked at the FAQs I could find, and didn't see it. I am doing contract work, and was requested to install FC2 on my machine (last October). Since doing that, I have tentatively concluded that the Fedora Core Project is more or less beta test, and not really suitable for development work. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong. So I am considering a hop to a more stable environment. Since CentOS is akin to The Product Produced By A Major Vendor Of Linux Software Who Shall Remain Nameless, I was wondering if the transition might be easier to CentOs rather than, say Debian. (Makes me feel like I'm reading a Harry Potter novel about He Who Shall Not Be Named.) Is there any reasonable hope of an "upgrade" from FC2 to CentOS 4.1 or should/must I backup, install, and restore? Thanks all in advance for replies. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!

Job opportunities for Linux. [OT]
by duffmckagan 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

I am currently into Engineering, and I am working slowly on my Knowledge / Know-How of Linux. I am eager to know about the Job Opportunities for people who have considerably good knowledge in Linux. This thought has popped up in my mind, due to the reason that I was watching out my Local LUG, and somebody quoted like..."There aren't much Job Opportunities for Linux Knowledge compared to the Knowledge based on Microsoft Software. Linux won't fetch you those fat salaries that Microsoft would offer, so unfortunately, you don't get what you deserve, with Linux, as the basic concept lies in Free Stuff." -- "No-one dies a virgin.

Temporary root access to another user.
by duffmckagan 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

I have Cent OS 4 installed on my computer, with cable internet. My ISP requires me to login to the account before I can access the Internet. I require to type some commands to get it working. (It comes with a software which I have installed) But that requires root access. I have many users on this computer, who can't access the Internet without my permission ( And I can't tell them the root password..NO please I have my own reasons.) Is there any way, that they don't have to type the root password (Something like Sudo) and still get access to the internet? If not they have started demanding Windows, which I don't want to install. Thank you. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

I have read in one place or another that: 1. It's O.K. to run an smp kernel on a single-processor machine 2. The installer picks the smp kernel if the cpu flag "ht" is set -- which mine isn't. So, can anyone explain why, on a fresh bare-metal install I'm blessed with an smp kernel? Also, is the statement about an smp kernel running O.K. on a single processor machine pure hogwash or is there something goofy about my m/b and/or processor?

The scariest set up of all: Printer Support
by Dave Gutteridge 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

My experience with printers is that of all the peripherals, regardless of OS, they are the trickiest to install, configure, and use. So I'm expecting a battle here. What I have is a Canon Pixus iP3100. It's a Japanese model, but it's the same model as the US Canon Pixma iP3000, just a different name. First, I plugged in the USB cable. CentOS seemed to detect it, and gave me a list of options. Neither the US model number nor Japanese model number was there, so I selected "Canon (unknown)". It spent a while installing, and then finished without any message to say for sure if it had installed successfully. I tried to print from a number of application, but nothing happened. Just nothing. No error messages, no printer noises, nothing. So, I figured the driver didn't take hold. I looked around the net, and first I cam across "Turboprint for Linux". At first it seemed promising. But my first snag was that after installing the RPM, I didn't seem to have any printer configuration dialogues or anything. I went on the net to see about a manual, and *then* I discovered that in the free, consumer use version, they stamp a logo onto whatever you print. I was a little annoyed that they didn't make that really clear up front, they just tell you that commercial users must pay and consumers can use for free. Anyway, I decided to look for different alternatives. I came across a web site that said that my printer model could work under a different Canon driver: http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/canon-list/2004q4/001797.html But, and here's the heart of my question, I can't find any place to make changes to my printer configuration. According to some web sites I looked at, I should have a printer configuration application in my menu, under "Preferences". But all I have is a "printer settings" application which, despite the promising name, doesn't have any menu options at all for configuring the printer or it's drivers. It looks more like a print spool manager for when you have print jobs lined up. Where/how do I configure my printer and try alternate drivers? Dave

Yum still won't behave.
by Dave Gutteridge 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Before I reported that YUM often crashed. I was given help here on this list which stopped YUM from freezing my computer. However, YUM is still not behaving. Recently, I went to install a program called transcode. Yum found 14 packages that needed to be installed. It installed one of them and then stopped. It gave me this error: /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libk3bdevice.so.2.0.0.#prelink#.X8kEMh is empty, not checked. So, I went to /etc/sysconfig/prelink and set PRELINKING=no, because I was told that this would stop that error message from coming up. I went back to YUM to isntall the application, it found the remaining 13 packages to install, got as far as installing one, then the same error message came up and it stopped again. I rechecked that I had properly edted the prelink file, and tried again. This time, it found the remaining 12 files to install, gave no error message, but nonetheless it stopped after installing one package. And so on. Eventually to install the application I had to run YUM 14 times to get all 14 packages. What could be wrong with my isntallation of YUM? Dave

Are these steps for re-installing Gnome correct/safe?
by Dave Gutteridge 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

My desktop environment has become a little chaotic, and, long story short, I would like to uninstall KDE and Gnome, and then reinstall Gnome. (I want to remove KDE for the time being because I just don't think I want it taking up space on my hard drive). The thing is, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For instance, I want to make sure I don't lose settings in X, like my xorg.conf file. I just want to reset my Gnome interface back to how it was when I first installed it. I'm thinking the steps I need to take are roughtly these, but it would be great if someone could verify that these will be a non-destructive way of getting Gnome back to it's original state: 1. Stop X (By running telinit 3 at a command prompt?) 2. Use YUM to remove Gnome and KDE (#yum remove gnome kde?) 3. Use YUM to install Gnome (#yum install gnome?) 4. restart X (#telinit 5?) Could someone clarify if I have the commands right, and if this process is safe to undertake? Dave

trying to recompile
by Andrew Zahn 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi All, I am trying to recompile the stock kernel to include XFS. At install time of the OS I select to install the kernel source code however I do not have a /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL-smp directory. I then learned you must run "yum install kernel-sourcecode" to properly install the source. When I run the command this is what happens ( see below) . The error I get is: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821 public key not available for qt-devel-3.3.3-9.3.i386.rpm does anyone know what to do at this point?

Kicker Bug in KDE 3.4.2
by duffmckagan 21 Aug '05

I know that this is not a Cent OS centric question, but still. I recently upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 on Cent OS 4. Does anybody knows the solution for the Kicker Bug? Whenever I Log-Off, I get an Error saying that Kicker has crashed. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

YUM and RPM often freezes my computer
by Dave Gutteridge 20 Aug '05

Sometimes when I attempt a YUM install, it will get to the point where it is looking for packages to install, and my hard drive will make a lot of noise, but there is no progress. My mouse cursor freezes, and I can not switch between programs or kill the process. Eventually I have to reset the computer in order to get control back. The same thing will also happen when I install an RPM. When it checks for dependancies, it will freeze up my computer in the same way. This happens about 50% of the time. However, after resetting and rebooting the computer, if I attempt the same install again, it will work fine. Also, this may or may not be related, but in the case of YUM, when it's installing multiple RPMS, sometimes it will install only some of them, and then stop, without any explanation. If I repeat the install, then it will install the remaining packages, and complete the process. Any possible explanations for this behaviour? Dave
