CUPS and virtual interfaces
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

I've got a server with multiple virtual interfaces. Now, I only want CUPS to advertise on *one* - eth0, not eth0:1 or eth0:gad.... Looking at the CUPS manual, and cuppsd.conf man page, I see BrowseAllow, but the entries are not clear enough for me to understand what they mean. (Yeah, I know the docs are better than they were - read ESR's rant about it from a few years ago.) Specifically, I *think* I'd like to use BrowseAllow @IF, but I can't figure out if that should be BrowseAllow @IF(eth0) or BrowseAllow @IF(hostname) Also, if it's interface name, and there are multiple virtual interfaces on eth0, and I use the first of the two lines, above, will that *not* also apply to the VIs on eth0? mark

Unable to get software using Yum
by Jatin Davey 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi I am new to CentOS and been into Linux for about 3 months now. I first started off with fedora and also trying my hands on CentOS now. Basically i used yum to download softwares on the fedora box. I mainly require the snmp agent for my linux boxes so as to test my network management product. On some of the CentOS boxes the following command worked for me : yum install net-snmp it installed the snmp agent for me but on others i am finding it hard to install. Basically , this is what i get : [root@centos-64-xxx ~]# yum install net-snmp Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.nyi.net * updates: mirror.nyi.net * addons: centos.corenetworks.net * extras: centos.corenetworks.net ftp://mirror.nyi.net/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] timed out Trying other mirror. http://centos.corenetworks.net/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/CentOS/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/pub/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/CentOS/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.icpl.org/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.newnanutilities.org/pub/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.…: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.unl.edu/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirrors.bluehost.com/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. base | 1.3 kB 00:00 http://www.cyberuse.com/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for base: Damaged repomd.xml file Trying other mirror.

C5 XEN domain not startable
by Dave Stevens 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Hi, I have a Centos 5 box with dom0 and several domUs and one of them is not runnable. I ran updates several days ago and the update included a kernel update so I used virt-manager to reboot. But it won't book. It shows as not running and when I try to run it I get a dialog box with this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 498, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 573, in startup self.vm.create() File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 287, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: Unknown failure I don't know what to do about this. Anyone have ideas? Dave -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Krishnamurti

IBM Touchscreen
by Janez Kosmrlj 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Hi, i have some old IBM USB touchscreens, that insist on not working correctly under CentOS. I tried to use the 3m driver and the elousb driver, but none of them work. The touch part works out of the box witohut any drivers, but i can't find a way to calibrate them The y axis is inverted and the X axis is a bit off. Here is the output form lsusb: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0596:0001 MicroTouch Systems, Inc. Touchscreen We also have some new models from IBM and they work with elousb driver. We also have some 3m monitors which work with the 3m drivers. Regards, Janez

selinux on xen virtual machines
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

I rebuilt my xen host with the 64-bit OS and am in the process of recreating the guests, both 32 and 64 bit. I use a kickstart installation with virt-install, and so far none of the installation attempts has completed. Anaconda indicates installation should take about 2-3 minutes, but when it comes to installation of selinux policies, it just sits there, and I have no idea what it's doing. No progress 15 minutes later, and it doesn't make a difference whether I disable or not selinux in the kickstart configuration. What's the best thing to do in this situation? CentOS 5.4 with all current updates. --------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any attachments may contain Cypress (or its subsidiaries) confidential information.

Disable specific LUN on a SCSI bus
by Lorenzo Quatrini 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Hi all, do you know if there is a way at boot time do disable specific LUN's on a SCSI bus of a particular controller? I'm trying to write an udev rule, but it seems that the system ignores the "vendor" model/name of the controller... For example: I want to disable /dev/sdb; so I gather some information with udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb and I try to use them to write /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules ID=="?:0:1:0", BUS=="scsi", DRIVER=="sd", SYSFS{model}=="DDYS-T36950N ", SYSFS{vendor}=="IBM ", OPTIONS="ignore_device", OPTIONS+="last_rule" I put the "?" on the ID field because I know that the order of the controller can change (a kernel update could trigger the switch); also I tried with and without the spaces at the end of vendor and model: no change Where am I wrong? It is a different way of doing this? TIA Ciao Lorenzo
