Slow logout from gnome
by John Newbigin 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but on a number of CentOS-3 boxes I had a problem when you log out from X/Gnome it would take ages (> 1 min) to log out. Saving the session made it quicker for the next logout, but the culprit appears to be the rhn-applet. Uninstall that rpm and problem solved.

Re: [Centos] partition table Cent4RC1
by David Kaupp 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

The warm and fuzzes was mostly towards the rackmount I had put FC3 and FC2 on. FC2 crapped out when the 2.6 kernel was introduced, Fc3 wouldn't even boot past grub. If I had the time I would investigate the situation more, but I'm pretty much the only tech for 250+ desktops and other IT duties. Kickstart is on my long list of things to do. I'm using ghost since, it seems(ed?) to work and its an application my boss is accustomed to. I'm going to stick with Cent3 at work and try Cent4 on my home server. the not being able to boot issue may not have been due to the 2.6 kernel Dave Kaupp Catholic Charities, Diocese of San Diego http://www.ccdsd.org 619-231-2828 x520 619-287-9454 x157 >>> jperrin(a)gmail.com 02/19/05 11:40AM >>> We've had some issues at work with similar things, and it seems due more to breakage in ghost than anything else. Kickstart files work like a champ for making multiple identical machines if that's your thing, but a good kickstart file can also provide you with a fast method to rebuild a server should you feel a burning desire to burn it down and start over. The 2.6 kernel and specifically SELinux give me the most warm&fuzzy feelings I've had for a while. I'd not be so quick to write it off just because some 3rd party (primarily windows oriented app) doesn't work well. Just my $0.02 -- Jim Perrin.

RHEL 4 Update
by S.Tux 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

I'm not so sure if I'm asking right question so please forgive me; I have RHEL AS 4 media with me here; my company have an active subscription to RHN from for a limited number of servers only. If I add more servers more than allowed channel subscription; up2date doesn't work as you know. That's why I'm introducing CentOS to my company. Now, I just wondering, is there any way I can update a RHEL box using other means rather than RHN? Excluding the manual FTP download and manual RPM installation; is there any other source and means I can use. Again, I hope I'm asking this question safely here. Since I asked already similar question to RH mailing lists; and they arrogantly pointed me here in CentOS - well thanks to them; I found a new home and a new distro. Regards, str

problem with 4 RC1
by Ryan 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Has anyone else had this problem? On my laptop, I am currently running 3.4, no problems (runs really fast). When I formatted and upgraded to 4.0, it made it until the end, then locked up at the "preparing for first boot"..... Eventually I had to cold reboot, and it wouldn't load the kernel at subsequent boots. Back to 3.4 and working fine. I burned another set of CDs thinking it was bad media, but with the same results. Any ideas if this is a bug?

apcupsd on CentOS
by Kurt Bechstein 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Has anyone tried running apcupsd on CentOS with a usb UPS? Just curious since I'm putting together a system like this and I noticed in the apcupsd docs it say: "Linux 2.4 series kernels older than 2.4.22 do not bind the USB device to the proper driver. This is evidenced by /proc/bus/usb/devices listing the UPS correctly but it will have "driver=(none)" instead of "driver=(hid)". This affects RHEL3, among others." I noticed the latest kernel is 2.4.21.xxx for CentOS and just wondered if this was going to cause me problems. Thanks in advance.

External yum and apt Repositories and CentOS4
by Karanbir Singh 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Were looking to use yum 2.1's ability to store repository data in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as a means of pushing updates to our mirrors list. As an added feature, we want to host third party repository config in installable .rpm's into CentOS-Extras. So that enabling a new repository becomes as easy as "yum install <repo name>". Eg. 'yum install repo- dag'. Which would in turn drop the required repository information into /etc/yum.repos.d/, set the enabled flag, import the required gpg- key. We are looking for package repositories, with public access who would want to be included in this setup. All supported architecture's are welcome ( x86/ia32, x86_64, ia64, s390(x)) as well as testing ( ppc ) for yum repositories. We do have apt available on x86 and ppc, so if you have an apt repository that works with CentOS4 on these architectures, we're interested. If you run a repository or know of one which should be included : Reply to this post here with details or send me an email. There are a few things that we ask for. 1) The repository must be complete in itself or require no more than the CentOS4 base and CentOS4 updates to pull required dependencies. 2) All packages in the repository must be signed. And the key available via public key-servers. 3) You must have both meta data ( via createrepo ) as well as the Header info ( via yum-arch ) available. And lastly, I need some recommendations on what to call these .rpm's repo-<Repository Tag>.<ver>.rpm is one option. - K

Squirrelmail
by Zebee Johnstone 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

I have an urgent (isn't it always the way!) need to set up webmail for one of our users. I intalled Squirrelmail, added /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf and etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf/squirrel.conf to my webserver config (which is not RH stock) and ran the squirrelmail conf.pl I know nothing at all about php, so am having a hell of a time diagnosing the errors, and the squirrelmail.org site knows of no RH distro after 7.3 and has been wikispammed anyway. Google's not been helpful so far. So... is anyone running squirrelmail on their CentOS site, and can they tell me why I'm seeing: Warning: main(../config/config.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 16 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../config/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 16 when I try http://mymachine.mydomain.com.au/webmail/src/login.php Or point me at some useful doco, probably more PHP than squirrel? Especially as the squirrel site seems less than helpful... Perhaps someone can email me with RH specific instructions? Zebee

I had FC2 on the Proliant but when FC2 went to the 2.6 kernel, it hung up on the Nash prompt. So I ended up putting WBEL on that machine. I'm still evaluating what OS I want to finally put on there. Looks like Centos3 or a BSD. So my question is, does anyone know if RH will ever put the 2.6 kernel in RHEL3? I'm not getting a lot of warm fuzzies anymore from linux, since the 2.6 kernels have come out. I can hang with CentOS3 until 2008 as long as the kernel stays with something that works.

CentOS 4 (RC1) and VMWare
by Bart Schaefer 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

I successfully installed CentOS 4 (RC1) on a VMWare 4.5.2 virtual workstation last night. When creating the new virual machine, I told the VMWare wizard that I'd be installing RHEL3. I used the VMWare console to point the virtual CDROM drive at each of the downloaded ISO images as needed. The "time remaining" feedback while Anaconda ran was wildly inaccurate, but the whole process required only about 45 minutes (the host machine is a 2.8GHz P4 with 1.5GB RAM, I allocated 512MB RAM to the guest). At one point (during installing the pci utilities RPM) the installer seemed to be hung, but I suspended and resumed the guest workstation and that woke everything up again. On the first reboot, the setup wizard asked me to install the disk that was labeled Extras. I don't know which of the 5 ISO images that is, and couldn't find that info on the CentOS web site, so I skipped that step. However, that screen still makes reference to other disks that may have been obtained from Red Hat -- probably needs to be cleaned up. Also the wizard wanted me to register my RHN subscription, which I simply told it not to do. I then logged in and attempted to install the VMWare tools. This (expectedly) did not go entirely smoothly. The app launced from the CDROM icon on the desktop was unable to mount the tools virtual disk, and "mount" from a shell or non-X11 virtual console didn't work either. I had to select "Install ..." from the VMWare menu, then reboot in single user mode to avoid X11 startup, then mount the disk. After running the installer perl script, most of the tools work, but for X11 in particular I had to manually revert the /usr/X11R6/bin/X symlink to point back at Xorg, and restore the /etc/XF86Config file from /etc/X11R6/xorg.conf -- I then merged in the VMWare screen definitions from the XF86Config file written by the tools installer. Because I'm not using the vmware X server, the mouse does not move seamlessly on and off the vmware guest window; you have to manually grab/ungrab the pointer. Otherwise, though, xorg-x11 works just fine.

trouble installing CentOS
by Tom Scott 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

greetings, We are a couple of new CentOS users here. We have previous experience with RH and FC installations. Now we'd like to move up in the world to CentOS. We successfully installed the 3-CD set of CentOS-3 on a laptop this weekend. When the script instructed us to remove the installation media and reboot, we did that and then the system hung after text was displayed showing the stopping and restarting of the processes. (Background: We had to use the nofb option during the installation. I wonder if there's some way to pass that option to the kernel when we reboot, so as to get the final post-installation configuration script to work?) We think we might have a functional CentOS laptop now, but it's just hanging somewhere in the reboot sequence because of problems with the framebuffer and/or X. Has anyone had a problem like this before? (and solved it? :-) ) -- TIA, TT

CentOS-4 RC1 (i386) Bugfixes
by Johnny Hughes 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

All, There are 3 bugfix updates for CentOS-4 (RC1). 1. mod_perl needed to be recompiled after the RH errata for perl was incorporated, but it was not flagged by the perl update. ( https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803 ) (thanks Joshua Hirsh) 2. httpd identified itself as Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server instead of CentOS ( https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806 ) (thanks xspace) 3. up2date does not work with the CentOS-4 key, but requires the original vendor key. ( https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi? id=805 ) (thanks xspace) The following updated files are pushed to beta.centos.org and should be available by using the command: yum upgrade Filelist: httpd-2.0.52-9.ent.centos4.1.i386.rpm httpd-devel-2.0.52-9.ent.centos4.1.i386.rpm httpd-manual-2.0.52-9.ent.centos4.1.i386.rpm httpd-suexec-2.0.52-9.ent.centos4.1.i386.rpm mod_perl-1.99_16-4.centos4.i386.rpm mod_perl-devel-1.99_16-4.centos4.i386.rpm mod_ssl-2.0.52-9.ent.centos4.1.i386.rpm up2date-4.4.5-1.centos4.1.i386.rpm up2date-gnome-4.4.5-1.centos4.1.i386.rpm -- Johnny Hughes <http://www.HughesJR.com/>

CentOS 4 X86_64?
by kimery＠kimery.com 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Any word on the X86_64 build? I'm sitting on a server that I need to ship off to colo, I can probably wait 7-10 days before I have to ship, but I don't want to sit on the server if the X86_64 build is going to be outside that timeframe. Can someone please give a status update on the X86_64 build? - Sam

Centos 4
by Ken Bass 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

Has anyone done an upgrade from RHEL3 to RHEL4? Is this likely to break a lot of things? How long will Centos be supporting version 3? I just installed Centos 3.4 two weeks ago! The only problem I'm having with Centos is that the perl is a bit old. I have errors with spamassassin. So far bugzilla for spamassasin is blaming it on the version of perl included in RHEL3 and bugs in the 'taint' code. I see that RHEL4 has newer Perl packages.

So far I have found http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/9/updates/SRPMS/ Does anyone know one for CentOS?

LinuxWorld Expo Update
by Matt Shields 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Well, the first day was interesting. We a variety of questions from why do we do this, what's going on with RH, how come this is the first I've heard of you. And hundreds more. The good thing is that we've recieve a very positive response from everyone that visited our booth. Such a positive response that all our CentOS CD's are gone, and most of the cAos CD's are gone, and I've only got a few CentOS DVD's left. So if anyone can magically make 500 or 600 CentOS CD's magically appear, that would be great. :-> Anyway, I'll try to keep everyone posted during the day. Time to go back to the convention center. -- Matt Shields http://masnetworks.biz http://sexydates4u.com http://shieldslinux.com http://shieldsmedia.com (currently under construction) http://shieldsproductions.com (currently under construction)

GRUB Bootloader
by Ulrik S. Kofod 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

I installed CentOS 4 Beta on an ATA disk to have a look at it, and on the same computer I have a Windows installation on a SATA disk. In the CentOS installation process it could see the operatingsystem on the SATA and everything looked good, it said something like "Other... /dev/sda" (not quite sure, it looked right so I didn't really take note of it). Now when I want to boot the windows installation is is attempting to boot from /dev/hdd, and that disk isn't even there? I had CentOS 3 on the ATA disk before and there it did the same thing, it's not a big problem as I just have to hit Esc and select the SATA before it starts booting, but shouldn't this be corrected somewhere? brgds Ulrik -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.
