CentOS 4 and OpenOffice
by Robert 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Has anyone here replaced the openoffice.org packages with those that were distributed with FC3? It's either that for me or simply scrapping CentOS in favor of FC3 (or even FC1). I'm very surprised that I can find no reports regarding the impossibility of formatting multi-page spreadsheets to print properly.

Neosurge.com
by Johnny Hughes 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

All, I would like to thank the latest donor to the CentOS project: Neosurge.com. We have a nice new, shiny server to help get all those updates out faster. http://www.neosurge.com/ Neosurge has plenty of hosting options from normal website hosting to dedicated / co-located servers. And I can vouch for the speed of the traffic into the datacenters. You can definitely get CentOS pre-installed on your server there too. Without donations of this type, the CentOS project could not operate. Thanks Brian :) If you use CentOS and would like to donate a box to the cause, please contact either Lance Davis (lance_at_centos.org) or me (johnny_at_centos.org) ... 'cause more stuff is good :) Thanks, Johnny Hughes

rebuilding anaconda for centos 4.0
by David Thompson 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Continuing the thread, if there's anyone out there who has successfully completed an anaconda rebuild (buildinstall & genhdlist), please let me know that it can be done, either privately or to the list. Having solved the kernel/loopback mount problem, I now have an anaconda that whose installer process dies at the point where it tries to install the first RPM. I have diffed the contents of the various file system images against the stock images, and I see nothing that would indicate a problem. Again, any information, hacks, or debugging tips are very much appreciated. -- Dave Thompson ( thomas(at)cs(dot)wisc(dot)edu ) Associate Researcher Department of Computer Science University of Wisconsin-Madison http://www.cs.wisc.edu/(twiddle)thomas 1210 West Dayton Street Madison, WI 53706-1685 --

Laptop issues
by Mickael Maddison 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hello CentOS, I'm trying to isolate a problem with a notebook. I've tried to install CentOS from CD - but once I get the start screen, I type 'enter' to begin installing. The installer starts to load but only gets as far as: running install running /sbin/loader That's it. Nothing beyond that... locks up solid. The equipment is ECS 736, P4 2.6Ghz /1024MB RAM, 40GB HDD. Ultimate boot cd boots up fine and all tests appear to be fine. -- Best regards, Mickael mailto:mike@kamloopsbc.com

General question on QA from a Fedora Core fan
by Steve Bergman 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Apologies if this ends up a dup, but there seems to have been a problem with my original subscription. ------------------------------ Hello, I am currently using Fedora on most of my servers. It does pretty well. I do have occasional problems which seem to me to stem from poor QA. For example, /usr/bin/enable <queue> coming back with "Enable: I don't know what to do!" after a cups errata upgrade when I would try to re-enable a printer. The "-c#" (multiple copies) option to lpr not working for serial printers due to a bug in the "serial" backend. (But to which a patch is applied to fix the same problem in the parallel backend). Finding my first flaw in the OS when I try to check the CD media during the install. The media check always fails. (Yes, there are going to be bugs, but finding the first one before you even get the installation media checked looks really bad. And, yes, the ide=nodma workaround fixes it.) I was very hopeful about CentOS shielding me and my clients from silly stuff like this. However, looking at the RHEL source for the serial backend to cups, it looks as though the patch to make "-c#" work on it has not been applied to serial.c. And the media check still fails with CentOS unless I use "ide=nodma", just like with Fedora. This is disappointing. Now, I wish to make it perfectly clear that I *DO NOT* consider this to be the fault of CentOS, as I understand that the policy is to remain faithfully compatible to RHEL. But if I ask RH about this, I know that I will get an "oh so politically correct" answer. On the positive side, looking at the errata, it looks as though CentOS has drastically fewer notices than Fedora, and I assume that is because there really are more problems (security of otherwise) shaken out during testing. Obviously, not being forced to upgrade due to withdrawal of support with regards to security patches every 1.5 years is a plus. So I welcome comments. If I switch my clients from Fedora to CentOS, they don't have the latest and greatest (and, for example, I need OpenOffice 2.0 ASAP for one of my clients due to it's Access-like interface to PostgreSQL), but how much advantage am I really looking at with regards to stability? i.e. I know all the reasons that CentOS *should* be more rock solid stable. But is there a noticeable difference in reality? Thanks For Any Input. Sincerely, Steve Bergman

Booting CentOS with LILO?
by Juan Pablo Espino 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hello all! I would like to know if is possible to use LILO as the boot loader instead of the default GRUB. My question comes because I tried to run lilo command but the message "command not found" appear. It sounds like my only boot loader option in CentOS is GRUB ¿?. I found lilo.conf.anaconda, but not the lilo command. From already thanks. Regards, Juan P. Espino

fsckcheck
by Lee Parmeter 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

While working on getting software raid working, I was unable to shutdown CentOS normally. After a forced power shutdown, I noticed that my gnome background was missing and I could not change the background image or color. Trying to shutdown the server normally did not work either, it would just hang. I suspected that the file system was damaged and was not fixed automaticly on boot. I tried the old Red Hat trick of creating an empty file with the name "fsckcheck" in the root directory and then forcing a reboot of the server. This seems to fix the problem with the file system.

RedHat Bugzilla

Does anyone here have access to the RedHat Bugzilla bug number 113233? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113233 I get "You are not authorized to access bug #113233." which kind of makes it hard to know what they think they have fixed.

It turns out that the 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL series of kernels has a bug in loop back mounting file systems: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105595 (the bug is filed against fc3 but affects the original centos 4.0 kernels as well.) The bug prevents the initrd.img in anaconda from being populated, and everything goes kaplooey as soon as the PXE boot tries to do anything with it's initrd. It would also affect rebuilt ISO images. The fix is to upgrade the host running buildinstall to a 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL kernel, which has a fix for bug 105595.

CentOS 4 install problems
by Pascal Van Puymbroeck 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hi folks, Has anyone experienced install problems with CentOS 4. More precisely anaconda crashing with some remarks regarding python scripts. The funny thing is the first installation went well. It's the re-install that fails. Although I completely changed partitioning and reformatted the drive. I had the same problem with fedora core 3 some time ago. To me it looks as if it's something to do with the anaconda version that comes together with the 2.6 kernel. Anyone who can help me out, thanks Pascal.

So I turned off SELinux completely (and rebooted). Now I'm getting the following error message: # pg_dump -U postgres database > database.out pg_dump: SQL command failed pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: relation "pg_user" does not exist pg_dump: The command was: SELECT (SELECT usename FROM pg_user WHERE usesysid = datdba) as dba, pg_encoding_to_char(encoding) as encoding, datpath FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'database' Thank you for your help!

vsftp 500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA key
by James B. Byrne 28 Apr '05

28 Apr '05

vsftpd-2.0.1-5 I am trying to get vsftpd to start with ssl_enabled=yes and not having much success. The config file works when ssl_enabled=No and does not work when ssl_enabled=Yes. I have tried setting the following: rsa_cert_file=/usr/share/ssl/certs/inet06cert.pem which is the public certificate and this: rsa_cert_file=/usr/share/ssl/private/inet06key.pem which is the server private key. Both these are in use by the apache web server as : SSLCertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/inet06cert.pem and SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/share/ssl/private/inet06key.pem respectively and I have no trouble using ssl with that service. As far as I can tell the certificates are in the right places and do the right things for apache but vsftpd chokes. Since vsftpd does not deign to log what is going on I cannot tell what it finds disagreeable about this setup. Does anyone have any idea what would prevent vsftpd from using a certificate that works with apache?

Is there any documentation telling you whether tomcat5 was compiled against the 1.4.2 tree or the 1.5?

Anyone here running a squid caching server in transparent mode, that uses the original client ip when retreiving content from the remote server instead of its own ip. Did you have to patch the kernel to allow squid to create tcp packets with a seemingly incorrect src address Graham

OK sever hours of grepping through the output of "yum list available," google, checking rpmfind, Dag, Fedore Extras, etc., and there doesn't seem to be a RPM for Maia Mailguard. If there is one please point me in the right direction and beat me over the head with the correct way to find RPMs in the future. Maybe I just need sleep...

Rewriting outgoing email addresses
by Lee W 28 Apr '05

28 Apr '05

Hi Everyone, I have a query which I hope others may find interesting as well. The company that I work for has users that subscribe to many different mailing lists for marketting and informational purposes. What I would like to be able to do is centrally manage this internally so that only one copy of the message is received regardless of the number of people subscribed to each list which we can then either deliver the message internally to anyone interested or via public folders on Cyrus IMAP/MS Exchange. The second thing I would like to be able to do is allow people to send to the appropriate list but for their email address to be rewritten to that of the registered email address of the list therefore everyone in the company who is subscribed to the list gets the replies. I am guessing that the following steps would have to be done:- * Setup an internal email account for each list (e.g. centos-list(a)companya.com) * Configure sendmail to either forward the message onto the exchange server and store in public folders or use filtering rules to deliver it to the appropriate Cyrus mailbox. * Maintain a list of all mailing lists subscribed to and have sendmail rewrite the from headers if anyone tries to send a message to one of the registered list addresses. I'm sure I've forgotten things here but I haven't got a clue how to set this up. Is this possible using the included programs with Centos (Sendmail, Cyrus IMAP, procmail)? As a second query but still related is it possible for sendmail to rewrite incoming email addresses? At the company we have various addresses in the format of firstname.surname.ext(a)company.com (where ext could be support or devel, etc). At present we setup distribution lists on exchange for everyone of these addresses for every user and it is becoming a management nightmare. What I would like to be able to do is for sendmail to notice this double-dot format and based on the ext bit to forward it onto the appropriate user as well as the relevent catch all address (i.e. send to firstname.surname(a)company.com and then also send to ext(a)company.com) Sorry if this is a bit long winded but hopefully I've explained clearly enough for someone to offer some insight Thanks in advance Regards Lee

If this file does not match the boot configuration, Norton Ghost may be unable to patch LILO during cloning. The keyword, default, is not supported in Lilo.conf, so the first target specified should be the default target. If a different boot loader, such as grub, is used, or the preceding conditions are not met, Norton Ghost clones the system but the new disk probably will not boot. The system should be started from a floppy disk or CD, and the boot loader should be reinstalled by running /sbin/lilo or an equivalent." That last paragraph seems applicable.

RHAS4 and therefore CentOS4 are much newer than Ghost 2003 so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that it's not supported. -- Marc

Does CentOS has problems with Norton Ghost 2003 images?
by Juan Pablo Espino 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Hello all We have two very important workstations dedicated to tasks of development and investigation. At the moment we have installed a dual boot platform with CentOS 4.0 and Windows XP Proffessional SP2. In order to do backups of these machines we need to create an image with Norton Ghost 2003. We have worked with Ghost during several years with different platforms (Red Hat, White Box Linux, Windows) without problems but now we are facing problems with our CentOS. When the creation of the image reaches approximately 50% in BOTH machines the Norton Ghost aborts with an error. Using the "force cloning" option of Ghost we managed to complete the creation of the image, nevertheless when recovering it we got this error: GRUB GRUB (the machine never booted) Then we tried to boot CentOS from a floppy and linux rescue and it didn't work. Two days ago we made and we recovered images to those same discs with White Box and WinXP without problems. Given our experience with Norton Ghost, we considered seriously that the problem is CentOS. We did many tests to have arrived at this consideration. Here are the details: Two exactly equal machines (the same hardware and resources), except by the hard disk 1. PC DELL Hard disk: Maxtor 20GB RAM: 512 MB Processor: Pentium 3, 866 MHz 2. PC DELL Hard disk: Seagate 20GB RAM: 512 MB Processor: Pentium 3, 866 MHz The disk partitions are: /hda1 windows xp 10 GB /hda2 /boot 100 MB /hda3 / 8900 MB /hda4 swap 1 GB We would like to know if someone has had the same problem (making an image with Norton Ghost 2003 to a dual boot system using Windows and CentOS.) Any suggestions are VERY important for us. Thanks in advance. Regards, Juan P. Espino

checkproc
by Cameron Showalter 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

greetings, trying to install netapplet (http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/netapplet/) from source on a centos 4 laptop. ./configure, make and make install all work fine, but when I then go to /etc/init.d to start netdaemon, it complains that it cannot find checkproc. I can't seem to even find anything on google for redhat or RHEL and checkproc or killproc. The closest I came was finding that killproc is in /etc/init.d/functions... but I'm not sure how to call it, when starting a daemon. thanks in advance. cameron

Cups updates - overwriting mime.* files
by Nigel Kendrick 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Every time cups is updated I have to check mime.convs and mime.types to ensure that references to handling raw file types are uncommented otherwise we notice that one of our printers stops working because the files are overwritten by the updates. Should config files not be left untouched? We do have 'print command = lpr -r -oraw -P %p %s' in smb.conf but this on its own didn't make the printer work. Do I just need to keep checking or is there a better way Oh, Centos 3.4, by the way! Thanks Nigel Kendrick

Centos 3.4 3ware 9500S Floppy Boot Disk
by Seth Bardash 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

We have created a Centos 9500S Floppy Boot Disk for installing Centos on a 3ware 9500S series controller that will allow installing and booting directly from this controller. This boot disk supports only AMD XP, MP and Opterons in 32 bit mode Centos 3.4 for the up and smp versions. We can also do a x86_64 version if required. Any interest???? If so we will post it to our web site.

I tried that but it did not work, even running vncviewer on the server itself. So, I decided to use the native X display support of realvnc using vnc.so. This solution gave me what I was after.

Re: [CentOS] IBM BladeCenter HS20 blades
by John Burk 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

This problem also exhibits in RHEL3-U4, so CentOS 3.4 inherited it. CentOS 3.4 is treated as rhas3 by xcat. The first time you run 'nodeset <host> install' for a particular OS, the /tftpboot/xcat/rhas3/<arch> tree gets populated with files, including install.gz, which is a compressed disk image which in turn contains all the kernel modules, including tg3. 1.) First thing you need to do is delete (or rename) the /tftpboot/xcat/rhas3/<arch>/ directory. 2.) Next is to fix a minor bug in xcat's 'mkinstall' located in $XCATROOT/install/rhas3/ARCH/bin/. I posted the fix to the xcat user's list, and have included the hacked mkinstall as an attachment. Please note that this mkinstall is for 'x86', but it should be pretty straightforward to see how to make the change for x86_64 if that's your arch. << cut&paste'd from my post in the xcat user's list >> I went the second route and dug around inside $XCATROOT/install/rhas3/ARCH/bin/mkinstall. Turns out that there is a fix already inside this script and a module already built, but that it only will be applied to RHEL3-U4 and not CentOS 3.4 It's because of the file test at line 375 of mkinstall: the version string in the kernel rpm that ships on the RHEL3-U4 cd's is 2.4.21-27, but the CentOS-3.4 kernel version string is 2.4.21-27.0.1. This version mismatch is echo'd at lines 383 and 386 also. << eo snip >> 3.) 'cd' to the $XCATROOT/install/rhas3/ARCH/ directory. The fix only gets applied if you're in this directory, as the path the to bcm5700.o is relative - Egan Ford probably knows why he did it this way, I'm just hacking on his script and wanted to muck with it as little as possible. 4.) run 'nodeset <some_CentOS3.4_host> install'. Because there is not an install.gz in the /tftpboot/xcat/rhas3/<arch> directory, it will be built, and because you're in the $XCATROOT/install/rhas3/ARCH/ directory, the pre-built bcm5700.o module which lives in $XCATROOT/install/rhas3/ARCH/data/27.EL will get put into the install.gz as tg3.o. 5.)

Jabberd and Centos 3.4
by Aaron Havens 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

I am trying to setup a local Jabberd server for our members of our IT department to use. I downloaded the source for 2.0s8 from the jabbered site. When i run ./configure I receive the following error: "configure: error: Libidn >= 0.3.0 not found" I went out to dag and downloaded and installed the libidn-0.4.6-1.1.el3.dag rpm. When i ran ./configure again it failed again. After a little searching on Google I found the following article: http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/jadmin/2004-June/016435.html Following its advice I rand ./configure --with-extra-library-path=/usr/lib/libidn.so.11. However it still fails. Anyone have any ideas? I don't know anything about libidn, is 0.4.6 incompatible with versions needing 0.3.0?

Problem with VSFTPD on I/F aliased IP

I am trying to get VSFTPD to listen on a particular IP. The ifconfig output for the host is: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:aaa.bbb.ccc.26 Bcast:aaa.bbb.ccc.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: xxxx::xxx:xxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:223374 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:136053 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:22056304 (21.0 MiB) TX bytes:20211609 (19.2 MiB) eth0:180 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:aaa.bbb.ccc.180 Bcast:aaa.bbb.ccc.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) eth0:184 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:aaa.bbb.ccc.184 Bcast:aaa.bbb.ccc.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:674 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:674 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:506130 (494.2 KiB) TX bytes:506130 (494.2 KiB) I can start vsftpd with the default vsftpd.conf. However, if I add just one line: listen_address=aaa.bbb.ccc.184 Then I get this behaviour. /var/log/messages: Apr 26 09:18:19 inet06 vsftpd: vsftpd vsftpd succeeded but # service vsftpd status vsftpd dead but subsys locked There are no further log messages and I cannot see where else to look for clues as to what is going on. Can anyone help. I get the digest version of this list so replies to both the list and directly to myself are greatly appreciated.
