New Server Donation - Thanks
by Johnny Hughes 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I would like to inform the CentOS user community that we have received another new server donation. This time from EuroVPS ( http://www.EuroVPS.com/ ). I would like to thank EuroVPS, and Igor and Vasili, for working with us to get this server up and running. This one is especially nice, as they have given us more bandwidth (20 mbit/sec) than usual, and this server is in the EU, where we really need more bandwidth. If you need to host a domain, why not check out EuroVPS, or one of our other donors ( http://www.centos.org/mirrors/ ), most of which are hosting providers. If you would like to donate a server to the CentOS project, please contact us at donate_at_centos.org. What would really be great is if we could get a server or two in the Asia-Pacific region, as we don't currently have any there. Thanks, Johnny Hughes CentOS-4 Lead Developer

x86_64 duplicate packages problem with apt
by Robin Mordasiewicz 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I installed Centos3.4-x86_64 and I notice that I get duplicate packages. i.e. I also notice that the duplate packages exist on the cd install as well. [root@bayamo RPMS]# rpm -qa | grep pam_krb pam_krb5-1.73-1 pam_krb5-1.73-1 when I use apt after downloading from Dag's site it complains about duplicate packages after running apt-get update. I am missing something to get my x86_64 system to update with apt the same way i386 system does, Mebbe someone can provide a hint.

CentOS 4.1 is just a re-spun ISO containing all updates through June, 10th 2005, (include all those released in EL4 Update 1). If you already have CentOS 4.0, downloading the new ISOs is not required to upgrade to CentOS 4.1. The ISOs can be downloaded via Bittorrent from this directory: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.1/isos/ia64/ (or your closest mirror) You can upgrade CentOS 4.0 to 4.1 manually now by changing the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file and replacing $releasever with 4.1 on all the repos and running "yum upgrade". If you don't want to manually edit anything now, in about 1 week CentOS-4.1 ia64 will automatically be made the default version and you will be upgraded when you run yum any time after that.

centos' current release versions?
by Farkas Levente 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

hi, what is the current release versions for centos? it seems to a trivial question although: - centos/3 -> 3.4 why not to 3.5? - centos/4 -> 4.0 why not to 4.1? on the other hand # rpm -q centos-release centos-release-4-1.2 why not centos-release-4.1-2? in the current case we can't write in yum's repo file we can't write: .../centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ since $releasever is 4 and not 4.1 (or 4.0) so we have to lean on the symlink which currently point to an older version. but even if it's point to the right version imho it'd be better if $releasever should be 4.1 rather then 4. just my 2c. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Re: [CentOS] Tyan K8SE (S2892) / nForce Pro Experiences
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

From: Kirk Bocek <t004(a)kbocek.com> > Has anyone installed Linux (CentOS or other) on a Tyan K8SE (S2892) > motherboard? I'd really like to hear your experiences -- with this board > or Nvidia's nForce Pro chipset in general. I wrote a pre-sale evaluation back in January 2005 here: http://lists.leap-cf.org/pipermail/leaplist/2005-January/000532.html And there are a few updates to that evaluation too, like the fact that nVidia _does_ now _actively_ work on the GPL "forcedeth" driver (their legal obligations to prevent them from doing so actually expired months ago), so using the "nvnet" module is probably optional now. - Personal Experience and Boot/Install Considerations I have everything from a 12"x12"x5.5" MicroATX case with a Foxconn NF4K8MC-ERS in my home, 12"x12"x5.5" (with PCIe GeForce 6800GT ;-) -- nForce4 Standard -- to a huge, LianLi PC-V1200 EATX with a Tyan S2895 -- nForce Pro 2200+2050 -- in use as a workstation/ server at various clients running both Fedora Core 2+ and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. You _can_ boot/install on the chipset with the FC2+/RHEL4 installer without issue. You do _not_ need to load the nForce drivers at all! They only contain the _legacy_ OSS (pre-ALSA) sound driver and the "nvnet" which really isn't needed with current "forcedeth" quality. This _includes_ SATA drives on the SATA channels that use the "nv_sata" driver, which is in the stock kernel now. On FC1/RHEL3, you might run into some NIC driver issues, and I want to say most definitely SATA support issues. You'll want to either upgrade the kernel to a late 2.4.23+, or use the nForce driver back with the "nvnet" and "nv_sata" drivers, possibly the "nvsound" OSS driver if you are not going to use ALSA. - The Technical Facts of the nForce4/Pro-series ... The nVidia nForce4/Ultra/SLI, 2200 (Pro) and 2050 (Pro, optional) are all legacy interconnect compatible. The PCI-Express (PCIe), PCI-X and PCI peripherial (I/O) interconnects all appear as traditional PCI logic/ busses, and the HyperTransport system interconnect is transparent thanx to its full Intel APIC/I2O compatibility. Yes, _all_ 40 PCIe and _both_ 2 PCI-X channels in the 2200+2050 combination. ;-> The peripherials on the chipsets are well supported with earlier nForce logic as of kernel 2.4.23+ and kernel 2.6.5+. nVidia has released GPL drivers for _all_ peripherals and components, including modifications to various i810 components, and the ALSA drivers work well for the common DSP/audio combinations. Intel has loosened the IP requirements on nVidia on the AGPgart, so I noticed some work has gone into more recent kernels. In fact, nVidia now uses the AGPgart in the kernel by default in its drivers. I still recommend the nVidia Standardware libGL/GLX drivers for production use _but_ stick with the 1.0-6xxx series _until_ 1.0-7xxx mature. And as I mentioned before, the "nvnet" driver is pretty optional now, and the 10/100 works _flawlessly_ with GPL "forcedeth," and the nVidia contributions in newer kernels seem to work well for 1000Mbps too. If you have trouble with 1000Mbps, consider upgrading your kernel or switching to the "nvnet" driver on older kernels. > I'm looking to build a new server using this board but would like to > find some other experiences first. I've googled myself blue but haven't > found any reviews or postings regarding this motherboard and Linux. If you stick with Fedora Core 3 / RHEL 4 (CentOS 4), then you shouldn't run into any issues at all -- not boot, install or otherwise. Make sure you upgrade to the latest 2.6.x kernel to get the most stable forcedeth driver. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Donations again
by Collins Richey 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

I sent this request to one of the principals, but got no response, so I'll ask again on list. Others may well be interested. I would love to donate to CentOS, but I refuse to deal with PayPal. PayPal works well if your email address and/or credit card information never change, but it's a complete snakepit if you don't have constant information. Can you post a mailing address and payto name so that I can mail in a check? -- Collins Head teachers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but the Start button.

IP Problems - Address won't stick on reboots!
by Scott Heisler 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Centos 4.0 P4 Dual Xeon 2gig Ram One 100mb NIC The problem is that the nic won't hold a fixed IP address. What I mean is that if I refresh it, after booting up by typing "ifdown eth0" and then "ifup eth0" - it then reflects the correct IP address. However, it won't 'have' and IP address upon boot. Also, it seems to hang on the logger service starting up. It sits there attempting to start logger for like 3-4 minutes (timed!). I suspect this problem is most likely related to the IP problem. I've tried moving the network connection to a dedicated HUB and still no luck. What is the correct config file to edit to set the IP address correctly? I tried editing the one in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts - but that didn't fix my problem. Thanks. Scott

re: [CentOS] memory leaking?? kernel problem?
by me＠prestoncrawford.com 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

I would think someone would have noticed this in RHEL or CentOS if it was a pure kernel problem. What all are you running in the way of daemons? Something there could be to blame, no? Also, if the servers are identical in terms of software and hardware, have you considered a memory check? When I made the switch from Windows to Linux I discovered something interesting. Since Linux caches memory (as you probably already know) sometimes you are more likely to find out memory is defective on Windows than Linux, especially if the defect is at the end of the RAM, if that makes sense. The first time I experienced this was with a computer that originally ran Windows. Since it never touched the full 768mb I never had a problem. I switched to Linux and it started crashing immediately. I blamed it on Linux, but then ran the memory test and found out that what was happening is that Windows never used enough memory to touch that spot of bad RAM. But Linux did, caching it all then crashing. Maybe a longshot, but just in case your hardware and software configurations are identical (because you did mention two machines) it might be worth considering.

Just updated my kernel via yum and # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.0 (Final) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant) needed the second line to install HP drivers and left it there for any other packages which might need it. just generated the following in grub: title CentOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-11.EL) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-11.ELsmp) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img title CentOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-11.ELsmp) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.ELsmp ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.ELsmp.img so they're obviously a ' sed "s/ release .*//" ' which should be replaced with sed "s/ release .*//" | head -n 1 i believe this is in /sbin/new-kernel-pkg in mkinitrd-4.1.18-2 on line 132: title="$(sed 's/ release.*$//' < /etc/redhat-release) ($version)" which IMHO should be: title="$(sed 's/ release.*$//' < /etc/redhat-release | head -n 1) ($version)" Cheers, MaZe.

Update 4.1 ISO's and JIGDO
by Maciej Żenczykowski 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

When the update 1 iso's come out could jigdo templates also be released along with the bittorrent files? It would probably save a lot of bandwidth if bittorrent could be resumed on iso's rebuilt via jigdo from vast swathes of the iso's which most of us already have (the 4.0 packages and updates). Cheers, MaZe.

Tyan S2895 -- nForce Pro 2200+2050 Just know that the pre-sale evaluation was of the nForce4, and didn't take the nForce Pro 2200 and 2200+2050 designs into consideration. E.g., the nForce Pro 2200 has 1.0GBps (2) PCI-X 1.0 channels. Any off-chipset NIC is typically connected to those, so there is not the same bottleneck as a legacy 0.125GBps PCI channel like on the nForce4. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Tyan K8SE (S2892) / nForce Pro Experiences
by Kirk Bocek 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Has anyone installed Linux (CentOS or other) on a Tyan K8SE (S2892) motherboard? I'd really like to hear your experiences -- with this board or Nvidia's nForce Pro chipset in general. I'm looking to build a new server using this board but would like to find some other experiences first. I've googled myself blue but haven't found any reviews or postings regarding this motherboard and Linux.

Centos 4 - text based install - LVM ?
by bards1888 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Has anyone gotten this to work ? I can define a raid device but cant put a VG on it. I then tried 'autopartition' and it created an 'LVM' of sorts, when I tried to edit it I wasnt able to as a message appeared saying, LVM editing was not allowed in text mode. Any help ? Cheers, Brian. PS - PIII-500mhz 128mb RAM, 4mb AGP.

Yum/RPM Update Conflicts
by Wayne Bastow 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Hi, I've been trying to sort this out for the past week. I had a RedHat 7.3 desktop install with a disk dying on it. The desktop has two disks on it - one configured with /, /usr and /boot (this was the bad disk) and the second had /var and /home. I obtained a replacement disk and initially tried copying the /, /usr and /boot filesystems to the new disk but this ended up being a problem. In the end I just did an install of CentOS 3.3 (I already had some CDs for this) but I didn't reformat /var and /home. Since the install I've been fighting with dependencies while trying to do a yum update and I suspect it is to do with the rpm databases (being in /var). The dependency that I am having real problems with at the moment is initscripts and kbd. I have tried to use yum update but I get: . . Resolving dependencies .conflict between initscripts and kbd If I do yum list initscripts* kbd* I get: . . Looking in Available Packages: Name Arch Version Repo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- initscripts i386 7.31.22.EL-2.centos base Looking in Installed Packages: Name Arch Version Repo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- initscripts i386 7.31.16.EL-1.centos.0 db kbd i386 1.08-10.2 db kbdconfig i386 1.9.15-2 db I have tried yum remove kbd so that I can update initscripts (and maybe get past the kbd problem) but get this: 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 Resolving dependencies Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [erase: kbd 1.08-10.2.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages Running test transaction: Test transaction complete, Success! error reading information on service keytable: No such file or directory error: %trigger(kbd-1.08-10.2) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Erased: kbd 1.08-10.2.i386 Transaction(s) Complete If I use rpm -e --noscripts kbd it appears to remove kbd but I am still unable to update initscirpts as there is still a conflict showing between the packages. This is what I have at this stage: yum list initscripts* kbd* . . Looking in Available Packages: Name Arch Version Repo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- initscripts i386 7.31.22.EL-2.centos base kbd i386 1.08-10.2 base Looking in Installed Packages: Name Arch Version Repo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- initscripts i386 7.31.16.EL-1.centos.0 db kbdconfig i386 1.9.15-2 db If I now try to update initscripts I get: yum update initscripts . . Resolving dependencies .conflict between initscripts and kbd At this stage I am trying to decide whether I need to try to install again from scratch. I also tried rebuilding the rpm database after removing the /var/lib/rpm/__db* files. Can someone make any suggestions as to what else I can try, please? Thanks for your time, Wayne

New CentOS 4 x86_64 U1 kernel - grub entry

CentOS VERY different than RHEL
by Mark A. Lewis 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Since we recently got a site agreement for RHEL at work, I have been using it more. It seems that CentOS 4 and RHEL 4 are very different. CentOS seems to come with newer packages and overall be a more polished distro. This afternoon I will compare some packages and versions. Is it just me? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

anaconda in centOS 4 fails to read md raid arrays
by Feizhou 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Has anybody encountered this problem? I have a box that has FC2 installed. I wanted to trash the FC2 installation and install CentOS 4. I have a pxeboot/dhcp/kickstart environment and so I tried automatic disk partitioning (clear all partitions and then create new ones), manual disk partitioning but everything else is automated and finally, zero automation, just a manual installation through VNC. Once I reach a part that touchs disk, the process will stop and end up with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 789, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 171, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 239, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partitioning.py", line 54, in partitionObjectsInitialize partitions.setFromDisk(diskset) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py", line 140, in setFromDisk diskset.startAllRaid() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 542, in startAllRaid DiskSet.mdList.extend(raid.startAllRaid(driveList)) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/raid.py", line 106, in startAllRaid mdList = scanForRaid(driveList) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/raid.py", line 56, in scanForRaid (major, minor, raidSet, level, nrDisks, totalDisks, mdMinor) =\ File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 97, in raidsb return raidsbFromDevice("/tmp/md") File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 103, in raidsbFromDevice rc = _isys.getraidsb(fd) SystemError: (5, 'Input/output error')

Need help with postgresql authentication set up
by James B. Byrne 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

OS - CentOS4 PostgreSQL = 8.0.3 I think that I need to locate a custom pam module to use in pg_hba.conf that will allow phpPgAdmin to authenticate users against /etc/password (shadow). I cannot seem to find a straight forward reference to such a beast either in the documentation or on the web. The pam modules that I have found through google seem to be intended to allow one to authenticate against a pg database rather than designed to allow postmast to authenticate users against unix. pam_unix modules do not seem work perhaps because postmast runs as user postgres and this user does not posses sufficient authority to access /etc/passwd etc. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

New to CentOS, miss Grip
by Dick Roth 08 Jun '05

Hi there-- Just installed CentOS 4 the other night and can figure out how to install Grip. I can't seem to satisfy the dependencies. Has anyone had success? Is there a reason why Grip isn't part of the distro that I should know about? My old distro was FC2. This was a wholesale installation and not an upgrade. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dick -- Pithy saying goes here: (future).

From: William Warren <hescominsoon(a)emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com> > I am wondering what the list's opinion is on the Apple to Intel > switch. It means that IBM thinks like a foundary, not like a PowerPC partner. Let's face it, for Sony and Microsoft, they make millions of units of the exact same product. For Apple, they are wanting multiple products with 1/10th the volume. So this wasn't a surprise, especially with Intel courting Apple since '03. It also explains why Apple didn't go AMD, even though they were using HyperTransport for I/O interconnect on the PowerPC 970/G5 (although not the full NUMA/HyperTransport that A64/Opteron does). AMD can't offer the "preferred status" deals/margins that Intel can. > This is going to put a slick desktop that runs on top of > BSD directly into the mainstream. Well, I always thought Apple was mainstream. It's still not a PC. It won't run on all PCs. That's fine, I always liked Apple's designs more. If they become the economies-of-scale competitor to Dell, that's fine with me -- and I'll even pay 20% more than Dell for them. In fact, I hope to God that Apple's firmware ends up being a standard approach that replaces the God awful PC BIOS. Even if Apple won't ever open it up so MacOS X runs on regular PCs, at least it will be nice to see a good firmware on a PC platform for once! (God I hate the PC BIOS compared to countless other platforms!) > What does this hold for Linux in general, Linux on the desktop..and > microsoft. It means that you'll be able to tri-boot. And if Apple does as good of a job on the new PC firmware that they did on their PowerPC, then multi-boot geometry/conflicts are a thing of the past. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
