How to prevent loading qla2300.o module
by Alfred von Campe 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

I apologize in advance as this is not really at CentOS specific issue, but I don't know where else to turn. We are configuring some Dell 1850s for a customer, and they have all been configured with a QLogic dual channel HBA. But no storage has been (or will be in the near future) attached to these HBAs. During the boot process (both for the kickstart and after the OS has been installed), there is a 2 minute delay (1 minute for each channel) while the qla2300.o module is loaded and the HBA probes for any attached storage. How can I configure the kernel to ignore the QLogic HBA? It's not that critical for the kickstart process (although that would be nice too). Thanks, Alfred

by Jerry Geis 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

I am trying to compile lirc.0.7.1 from www.lirc.org and it is indiacting that kernel source is not installed. I then installed kernel source and ran the ./configure again. Same message about kernel not being installed. ANyone compiled lirc.0.7.1 on centos 4.1? OR want to try downloading it (very small) and try running ./configure. Just select save default config and run configure on the first menu. default should be a serial control setup. THanks, Jerry

aacraid strangeness
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I've just had an strange thing with Adapted 2200 RAID controller (with optional battery module installed). Basically, new card, worked perfectly for weeks, several reboots and stuff. Then all the sudden, when I rebooted machine this today, system would simply freeze during boot. BIOS showed the card initialized properly, kernel module was loaded (from initrd) and it found all of the arrays, and then the system would freeze at "initializing hardware: storage" step. Booting in rescue mode would freeze just after kernel was loaded. Opened box, unplugged the card, booted without it, system works. Plugged it back in, and now everything works perfectly again!? Most likely it's not "baddly plugged card". I've visually checked for that, the card was plugged seated properly in PCI slot. Both the motherboard and card are just weeks old, so I would rule out oxydation on the connectors. Anyhow, BIOS initialization was fine, and BIOS utilities worked perfectly. Device driver behaving strangly? Anybody else saw the same problem, or even better yet, knows of an solution ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

pptpd install
by Kevin Anderson 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I'm using Centos4.1 kernel 2.6.9-11.106 and I'm trying to install a pptpd, but have run into a snag. the following is where I'm stuck. [root@centosserver noarch]# rpm --install kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/kernel_ppp_mppe/0.0.5/source -> /usr/src/kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5 DKMS: add Completed. Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. So I then Try to install kernel-sourcecode from yum which will then download but say bad key, or it will hang. I tested yum on other packages and it works fine. I also downloaded from rpm.pbone.net and got: rpm -ivh kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL.noarch.rpm error: kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 error: kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL.noarch.rpm cannot be installed. Anyone know away around this, I'm also willing to recompile the kernel but I'm not sure if that will help. I have been following the following link for instructions on installing mppe http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora-core-3.phtml Thanks, Kevin

MPPE required, but kernel has no support.
by James B. Byrne 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Ok, on to new swamps. I would like to enable PPTP on CentOS4 to accept connections from clients running MicroSoft Win2K and XP pro from outside our firewall. I am testing pptpd-1.2.3-0 and tells me that I need kernel support for MPPE, which I suppose is MicroSoft's own form of PtoP encryption. Is there a way of doing this without rebuilding the kernel? If so, how? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.

Firefox, Flash and Java on CentOS 4.1 x86-64
by Karl S. Katzke 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

First of all, I just want to say *again* how happy I am with CentOS. Across our boxes and our clients boxes, we're running it on more than 20 machines at the moment and it's by far the most painless OS to administer in detail that I've ever used. (Of course, I'm an old Slak hat, but ...) Thanks so much to the community and the maintainers. We've recently run into a problem with a dual-opteron system that is running LTSP and serving up X and Firefox to a whole bunch of diskless clients. We're using the x86-64 build of CentOS, with the appropriate Firefox package. The client users have all been asking for Flash, since many websites are unusable without Flash these days ... but there's no 64-bit build of the Flash plugin. (Thanks, Macromedia! You suck!) What's the best way to provide Flash (and maybe Java?) with Firefox on this server box? How big will the performance hit be from running non-64 bit packages? Any specific tips & hints? Thanks! -Karl Katzke

host controller halted... scarry error
by Ulrik S. Kofod 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Yesterday i was copying a few dump files (backups) about 1GB in size from my centOS 3.4, on a samba share, to my windows, when the centOS box stopped responding. The HDD LED was on and after I connected a monitor all I could see was this error message over and over again: "usb-uhci.c: host controller halted, trying to restart" I wasn't able to login or anything, so I saw no other solution than pressing the reset button. When it rebooted it forced a hdd check, but was unable to mount /dev/hde2 (that useually mounts on /var !) and pretty much nothing works without /var. The error message mount gave was something like "Unable to mount /dev/hde2: invalid argument". The files I was copying are located on /dev/md0 (raid 0 over 4 disks) and that still worked fine, / is mounted on /dev/hde1 and that also worked as expected. I removed /var from /etc/fstab and restored a backup of /var to the dir /var and then I could boot normally again. Trying to save what was on /dev/hdde2 I ran a e2fsck -p /dev/hde2 and that corrected a ton of errors (deleted a lot of data), I then mounted /dev/hde2 to another folder and restored my backups so I only lost a few hours of data. After I added /var to /etc/fstab again everything worked as normal again. My question is happened!? and what can I do to avoid this again? If /dev/hde2 had been a RAID 1 would it then have rebuild? Should I move /var to a RAID 1? I have copied large files like this before without problems, was it just bad luck or should I expect it to do this again? /dev/hde is attached to a cheap ide ultra ata 133 pci controller card (Silicon Image) that has worked flawlessly for about a year. Can that be broken? Right now it seems OK again. I have a replacement for it but I would rather not replace it if it isnt necessary. Any suggestions are appreciated. Best regards Ulrik PS. Try backups! You wont regret it :) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.

Setting X in 1024x768 60 hz refresh for LCD TV viewing
by Jerry Geis 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

I am trying to hook up linux to an LCD 1333x768 LCD TV. XP in 1024x768 show up just fine. X does not. I have set the screen preferences to 1024x768. I have edited the xorf.conf file instead of have a range from 50 - 70 I change it to be only 60. I start X and it still comes up on my A70F monitor but still will not show on my LCD TV. xvidtune does not run on this PC. It says something about "video modes are not tunable on this chip". My PC at this time is a dell SC420. Thanks for any input as to get the display working on the LCD TV under linux.

MailScanner and SpamAssassin
by James B. Byrne 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

I acknowledge beforehand that this list is not the primary place to discuss these specific applications, but I am pressed for time and many of you have a great deal of experience with these two products. We have MailScanner configured to use SpamAssassin and it works exactly as we wanted. Up until now. I now need to allow messages classified as spam to be delivered to a single mailbox. I tried to do this by configuring an allowed address in SpamAssassin via the webmin interface and restarting the MailScanner service (even though as spamd is not running this should not matter). This change has not been effected. Test messages containing spam are still being trapped by MailScanner and discarded. I do not wish to change the entire system settings to allow one address (the abuse reporting address) to get this type of mail. How do I accomplish this within MailScanner.

compiling rpms
by Mark Quitoriano 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

Hi! i compiled rpms like postfix with mysql support. My problem is when i compile programs i can't distinguish the difference between postfix w/o mysql and postfix w/ mysql because they have the same filename(postfix-2.x.x.i386.rpm), what i like to happen is when i compile postfix w/ mysql support it will show something like postfix-mysql-2.x.x.i386.rpm. so when i install and try to query it, it will show postfix-mysql-2.x.x not just postfix-2.x.x. what file should i edit to make this happen?

Making Driver Disks
by William 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

List, I have attempted to make my own megaraid driver disk for a Dell PowerEdge 2300. The procedure I'm using is detailed at the end of this message. In short, I followed samples that I collected after Googling around. The problem I face is that the CentOS 4 installer can't seem to mount the driver disk after I have created it. It gives no information other than, "Cannot mount /dev/fd0", so I don't know where to look to troubleshoot this. If there is a documented procedure for creating good driver disks for CentOS 4, I would very much like to read them; I simply haven't been able to find any, yet. Otherwise, please review the procedure I have detailed in this message to spot the flaw. Thanks!! The procedure I have used to create this driver disk is as follows: ## Log into a machine that is running the 2.6.9-11.EL kernel (e.g.: a working CentOS 4 box). # yum install kernel-devel ## Download the megaraid source from the ALMOST useful (doesn't work because we can't seem to Alt+F2 to get to a bash shell, as described): http://www.tuxyturvy.com/blog/index.php?/archives/4-Installing-RHEL4-on-Sys… # cd /usr/src # wget http://www.tuxyturvy.com/files/megaraid.tar.bz2 # mkdir /usr/src/megaraid # mkdir /usr/src/megaraid/dd # mkdir /usr/src/megaraid/dd/modules # mkdir /usr/src/megaraid/dd/modules/2.6.9-11.EL # mkdir /usr/src/megaraid/dd/modules/2.6.9-11.ELhugemem # mkdir /usr/src/megaraid/dd/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp # cd /usr/src/megaraid # tar jxvfp /usr/src/megaraid.tar.bz2 ## Ignore all warnings. # make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.EL/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/megaraid modules # cp megaraid.o dd/modules/2.6.9-11.EL/ # rm -f *.o *.ko ## Ignore all warnings. # make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELhugemem/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/megaraid modules # cp megaraid.o dd/modules/2.6.9-11.ELhugemem/ # rm -f *.o *.ko ## Ignore all warnings. # make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/megaraid modules # cp megaraid.o dd/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/ # rm -f *.o *.ko # cd dd/modules/ # find . -type f | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -n9 > ../modules.cgz # cd .. # rm -rf modules/ # echo "LSI MegaRAID driver disk for CentOS 4.0" > centos-4 # vim modinfo ---- add ---- Version 0 megaraid scsi "LSI MegaRAID for Legacy Dell PowerEdge Servers" ------------- # vim pcitable ---- add ---- 0x101e 0x1960 "megaraid" "AMI|MegaRAID (OEM)" 0x101e 0x9010 "megaraid" "AMI|MegaRAID" 0x101e 0x9060 "megaraid" "AMI|MegaRAID" 0x8086 0x1960 "megaraid" "AMI|Megaraid" ------------- # touch modules.dep # chmod 0755 * ## Insert a floppy disk into your floppy disk drive. # fdformat -n /dev/fd0u1440 # mkfs -t ext3 /dev/fd0u1440 # mount /dev/fd0u1440 /media/floppy # rm -rf /media/floppy/* # cp * /media/floppy/ # umount /media/floppy ## Done making the Driver Disk. ## Insert disk 1 of the CentOS 4 install set into your Dell PowerEdge box and reboot the machine. ## At the CentOS 4 install prompt, insert the Driver Disk into the machine and type: > linux dd ## Error: Cannot mount /dev/fd0 ?!

Hello, I am wondering what do people use to connect to an oracle DB ? I've been looking for something like php-oci8 RPM package, but no luck so far. I hate to have to rebuilding PHP on my own just to be able to connect to an Oracle database. Thanks for any help RDB

Upgrading Drive, Best Practice?
by Ajay Sharma 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi, This might sound like a n00b question, but I've honestly never done this with a Linux machine... (it is running Centos3) We have a 1U mail server with two 36GB SCSI drives in a hardware mirror config. There's no more room for any other drives in the case. It's filling up, so we now have two 74GB drives ready to take their place. Possible solutions that I've come up with: 1) shutdown all the services (postfix, courier, etc.) backup the machine to another box, swap out the drives, install CentOS4, copy the email back. It's a pain, but I'd get a clean CentOS4 box when I'm done. whee! 2) bootup with a bootdisk and use some kinda drive image utility to backup the machine (partimage, g4u, etc), swap out the drives, and then restore the image. Less painful, but still running CentOS3 and I have to fumble around with those image utilities instead of good ol' tar-over-ssh. :) any others? In the past I've usually just moved services from an old machine to another one. So I had tons of time to configure/test the new server before making it live. This one has to be done in place so time is of the essence. How would you do it? Thanks, Ajay

Installing a theme in KDE
by Dave Gutteridge 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

I went to kde-looks.org and downloaded a theme: http://kdelook.org/content/show.php?content=10919 When I ran the configure command, it went ok: [root@localhost thinkeramik-3.2.1]# ./configure --prefix="`kde-config --prefix`" ... Good - your configure finished. Start make now However, when I run make, I get a whole slew of errors, that look like this: t::minimumSize() const': thinkeramik.cpp:1852: error: `widget' undeclared (first use this function) thinkeramik.cpp: In member function `virtual bool ThinKeramik::ThinKeramikClient::eventFilter(QObject*, QEvent*)': thinkeramik.cpp:1858: error: `widget' undeclared (first use this function) thinkeramik.cpp:1876: error: `processMousePressEvent' undeclared (first use this function) thinkeramik.cpp: At global scope: thinkeramik.cpp:1894: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '*' token thinkeramik.cpp:1894: error: expected `,' or `;' before '*' token make[3]: *** [thinkeramik.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/dave/Desktop/thinkeramik-3.2.1/kwin' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dave/Desktop/thinkeramik-3.2.1/kwin' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dave/Desktop/thinkeramik-3.2.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 Of course I tried to look up these errors on Google, but it was a fruitless search.

Where should my Xdefaults file be?
by Dave Gutteridge 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Apparently in order to get Japanese input working, I need to edit my Xdefaults file. By hunting on the web, I've read that I can create my own Xdefaults file, but it's been very difficult to determine where I should create it. I simply want to add the following line to this file: *inputMethod kinput2 ... so that Japanese input will be enabled. I want this setting to be global for all users of my machine (which is only me, but just in case). So where is, or where should be, my Xdefaults file? Just in case anyone wants to know where I got this idea from, I got it from here: http://laeren.zoggins.net/japan/japanmoz.shtml Thanks

making a route sticky
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Is it possible to have a route stick in the kernel, even if device it points to goes to roller coaster up and down drive. For example. I have an ADSL modem and am doing VPN over it. There's a route needed for VPN added like this: ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1.2.3.4 src 192.168.2.1 There are two problems with it: a) if ADSL link is down when above command is executed, the route command will fail (ppp0 is down, so there's no 1.2.3.4) b) if ADSL link is up when above command is executed, but it goes down (and up again) later, the route is removed from kernel routing tables So, if there are any problems with ADSL link, I need to manually reset my VPN setup. I could write some monitoring script (and call it from cron) that would check if route is present and attempt to readd it if needed, but I'd rather be able to have the route either sticky (not removed when interface goes down) or automatically reenabled by the kernel when interface goes up again.

httx, iiimf, and Japanese input still not working
by Dave Gutteridge 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

Japanese input - the final frontier. This is the last obstacle before I can work completely within Centos and be free of Windows. But it's still not working. To cut to the chase, in my quest to get Japanese working, I came across the following: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-i18n-list/2004-November/msg00030.html ... where someone says: "You need to have httx (htt_xbe) running to use iiimf in KDE." Okay, so I go looking on the net for httx, but can't quite figure out what it is or how to download it. So my question is what is it, where do I get it, and will it help me get Japanese input? Now, for anyone who needs a reference, what follows is how I came to find out about httx. I was following the instructions on this page: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html And here are the results of some of the commands they suggest to check if iiimf is running in KDE: [root@localhost dave]# service iiim status htt (pid 3193) is running... [root@localhost dave]# rpm -qa |grep iiimf iiimf-csconv-12.1-13.EL iiimf-protocol-lib-11.4-43 iiimf-libs-devel-12.1-13.EL iiimf-libs-12.1-13.EL iiimf-gtk-12.1-13.EL iiimf-client-lib-11.4-43 iiimf-x-12.1-13.EL iiimf-gnome-im-switcher-12.1-13.EL iiimf-le-unit-12.1-13.EL iiimf-client-lib-devel-11.4-43 iiimf-server-12.1-13.EL iiimf-le-canna-12.1-13.EL iiimf-docs-12.1-13.EL iiimf-protocol-lib-devel-11.4-43 [root@localhost dave]# ps auxwww | grep httx root 4433 0.0 0.2 5272 664 pts/4 S+ 18:38 0:00 grep httx [root@localhost dave]# LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS=@im=htt kedit QInputContext: no input method context available QInputContext: no input method context available When I went to Google to look up this error, that's when I eventually came across httx, but that's where I was stonewalled. I hope someone can help me get this last piece of the puzzle in place. Dave

Compiling kernel/drivers for hw RocketRaid 1640
by JN 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

I picked up a RocketRaid 1640 card b/c it had support for "RedHat". Apparently, their version of "RedHat" is "stable"(9), which I pointed out was "dead" for all security purposes... (at least, that was what I understood from someone in one of the RH/clone IRC channels.) It turns out that I need to build a new driver from their open source code. This task is a little over my head. (Appears to be a 'lot' over my head, but I'm assuming that it just looks bigger than it is b/c I keep reading "compiling a kernel isn't that hard..." ... yet, I've yet to be successful on any platform.) I'm in this mess because I recommended our company use Linux for a fileserver. I think that once it is up and running, it will be the rock-solid workhorse that I claimed it could be... however, I've got to get past this hurdle first. Is there a FAQ for compiling a new kernel specifically for CentOS 4.1? I've tried some of the generic flavored FAQs, but I tend to get confused with the differences between the flavors. (I was reading something in the slackware forums about using lilo as the first step to compiling a new kernel... ) -- the point is that someone tells me "CentOS is identical to RHEL 4", then I go and look at RHEL 4 docs, and they say that the source package for the kernel has been removed, and you need to download the RPM which is only available from them... I can't be sure, however, I don't think CentOS is identical in this way... Really, I'd like a FAQ for specific kernel compilation on CentOS 4.1, however, failing that, here are the error messages that I'm getting: In trying to follow this guide: http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/index.h… , I was unable to complete step 4: first and foremost, there was no mention of rpm-build in that guide, which I was told I needed to install, and did, seemingly without issue. This was the next message I received: > [root@localhost jae]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-11.EL.src.rpm > 1:kernel warning: user builder does not exist - > using root > warning: group builder does not exist - using root > warning: user builder does not exist - using root ... Which I suspect was my own fault for trying to use a non-root script as root to install the kernel source. Exiting root status back into my user account yielded this: > sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' > sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file I have no idea what these messages are trying to tell me... but I did note further links in this guide, and ultimately modified /etc/rpm/macros, copying this code: http://users.tkk.fi/~tkarvine/rpm-build-as-user.html ... which resulted in more errors: > [j@localhost ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-11.EL.src.rpm > sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' > sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file > sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' > sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file > sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' > sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file > error: cannot create %sourcedir /rpmbuild/kernel ... Can someone *please* point me in the right direction? Thanks! -- J.N.

Help required on pxe booting + installation of CentOS
by manish jain 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

Hi, I have a (bugridden, idiotic) fedora 4 server with tftpd, nfsd and dhcpd support. I want to remove fedora from my network and initiate pxe installation of CentOS Linux on all machines on my network from my fedora box. I have the CentOS's pxe-kernel and pxe-initrd images. I have also compiled fedora's pxeboot file from the sources and placed it in /tftpboot/. Can someone please guide me through the steps I need to take to get CentOS to boot via pxe from my box and install from an NFS-exported directory containing the whole CentOS distribution ? Thanks for any help. And thanks also for CentOS. Red Hat is just murdering Linux with its distributions - Fedora is a great reason for people to use Microsoft Windows.

proper use of alternatives framework
by Jim Perrin 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

So in a previous thread about java installs, I became more aware of /usr/sbin/alternatives and the links in /etc/alternatives. In an effort to not get lost in that thread (and mostly because it's a seperate topic and may help others when searching the list) I decided to posit my question directly. Rather than hack like a caveman at my installs of java and other things that fit into the alternatives framwork, I've been reading the man pages and googling, but sometimes I need things spelled out using crayons and small words. If someone has some documentation or insight about using the alternatives framework, including the --slaves options, I would be immensely appreciative. -- Jim Perrin System Administrator - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center

VSFTP/MySQL
by Franki 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi guys, Just a quick question, I've been slowly moving all my user services to mysql backend, I realise it's probably not as good a choice as LDAP, but you tend to stick with what you know. To that end I want to setup both Apache and VSFTP to use mysql db for virtual users. Basically I want to create virtual users that are locked into their own home dir and have apache use mysql to work out it's virtual hosts. I can probably work out apache by myself as I've done similiar things before, but VSFTP seems to be fairly lax in the online documentation aspects so I'd appreciate any tips from the gurus. regards Franki

The first couple of directories were created but subsequent attempts give the following error: #mkdir: cannot create directory `xxxxx': Input/output error The contents of /var/log/messages shows this: Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=43072608, sector=43072608 Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 43072608 Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device dm-4): read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 68, block_bitmap = 2228224 Aug 5 10:48:57 inet05 kernel: Aborting journal on device dm-4.

What's the Linux equivelant of an exe file?
by Dave Gutteridge 06 Aug '05

This is one of those questions that seems to be soo obvious to people that no one feels the need to have an explanation anywhere. I've been looking around the net for ages, and I can't figure out what, on Linux, is actually a program. I've downloaded OpenOffice 1.9 Beta, and would like to run it. I go to the /opt/openoffice.org1.9.122/program/ directory and... then what? What do I run to start the thing? I've hunted around with ls, and I thought bin files were the thing, but they don't seem to run. I'm trying to run the program, associate the program with .ods files, and get some icons in my task bar. But I can't do any of those if I don't know what is actually the program. Help? Dave
