[FYI] skype-2.0.0.72.nosrc.rpm
by Nikita Izyumtsev 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Greetings! I have been using statically linked skype for a while, but found it uncofortable to install it in contraversion of rpm db, so I decided to package it. You can get nosrc.rpm here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4043330/skype-2.0.0.72-1.nosrc.rpm You can rebuild it in usual way, like that: Install rpmbuild (if it's not installed yet): sudo yum install rpmbuild As an ordinary user, not root, create a directory tree based on ~/rpmbuild: cd mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > .rpmmacros Download and install nosrc.rpm: cd ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4043330/skype-2.0.0.72-1.nosrc.rpm rpm -i skype-2.0.0.72-1.nosrc.rpm Download and install non-distributable* tarball: cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES wget http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.0.0.72.tar.bz2 Rebuild binary rpm package: cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -bb skype.spec * Actually, skype is _redistributable_, pld-linux ships it on it's spins, but as far I understood it is somewhat problematic to come to agreement with Skype. P.S: spec file is loosely based on pld-linux implementation Nikita

Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3 - slightly OT
by MHR 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

I've noticed recently that the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader (9.3) has a really annoying tendency to stop for 30-60 seconds shortly after it starts up to read/display a PDF file. I don't see this on my Windows copies, just on CentOS. Anyone know what's up with that? Thanks. mhr

Full Virtualized DomU won't boot
by Sergio Belkin 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi, I use Centos 5.4 x86_64 kernel used is 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5xen I have a physical machine running Debian Etch (32 bit) and Debian Lenny and I virtualized the first one as follows: *Created a HVM DomU with Virt-Manager with a virtual disk file of 40000 M *Boot from LiveCD, and created a swap and a ext3 partitions (Yes, very simple layout). *Rsync'd files from root partition of physical machine to partition mounted on LiveCD on DomU. *Chrooted and edited files /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab, etc/mtab, /boot/grub/device.map. *Then I rebooted from hard disk and stay freezed with the message "booting from hard disk" . But it doesn't boot at all from hard disk. I can boot using grub-rescue-cdrom, but if I try to install grub with grub-install it outputs: "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" (I've tried --recheck option, and depmod and update-grub commands with no success) Output of file command on virtual disk file is: /virtuales/videodisk.img: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x82, starthead 1, startsector 63, 4273227 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x83, active, starthead 0, startsector 4273290, 77626080 sectors The DomU file is: DomU (file): name = "video" uuid = "54d25d78-b9d0-0159-542c-bb601cc936bb" maxmem = 1024 memory = 512 vcpus = 1 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "d" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 localtime = 0 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 1 keymap = "es" disk = [ "file:/virtuales/videodisk.img,hda,w", "file:/virtuales/isos/grub-rescue-cdrom.iso,hdc:cdrom,r" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:0b:24:2d,bridge=xenbr0,script=vif-bridge" ] parallel = "none" serial = "pty" EOF With grub-rescue cd DomU can boot but as I've said can't install grub and loads also loopback interface. Please could you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!! -- -- Open Kairos http://www.sergiobelkin.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -

NFS vs SMb vs iSCSI for remote backup mounts
by Rudi Ahlers 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi, I would like to get some input from people who have used these options for mounting a remote server to a local server. Basically, I need to replicate / backup data from one server to another, but over the internet (i.e. insecure channels) Currently we have been mounting an SMB share over SSH, but it's got it's own set of problems. And I don't know if this is optimal, or if I could setup something better. We don't have much control over the remote server, so I couldn't setup a VPN, or iSCSI or anything else. My options was FTP & SMB. But I want to move the backups in-house, to save bandwidth and have more control over what we do. So, with a new CentOS server & 2x1TB HDD's in RAID1 configuration, I can do pretty much whatever I want. The backup server(s) will serve backups for multiple servers, in different data centers (possible in different counties as well, I still need to think about this), so my biggest concern is security. We mainly use cPanel & DotNetPanel (Windows ServerS) , but also WebMin & VirtualMin, so I need to stick with their native backup procedures and don't really want to use a too technical backup system. The end users need access to the data 24/7, so having the remote share permanently mounted seems to be the best for this, then our support staff don't need to SSH into the servers and download the backups. With the mount, I can also use rsync backups, so an end user could restore only a single file if need be. NOW, the question is: Which protocol would be best for this? I can only think of SMB, NFS & iSCSI The SMB mounts have worked well so far, but it's not as safe, and once the SMB share is mounted, I can't unmount it until the server reboots. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sometime the backup script will mount the share again (I think this is a bug in cPanel) and we end up with 4 or 5 open connection to the remote server. NFS - last time I looked at it was on V3, which was IMO rather slow & insecure. iSCSI - this doesn't allow for more than one connect to the same share. Sometimes I user might want to download a backup directly from the backup server via FTP / SSH / a web interface, which I don't think will work. We also sometimes need to restore a backup on a different server (if for example the HDD on the initial server is too full), so this isn't possible. The remote shares also need to be mounted inside XEN domU's, or directly on CentOS / Windows servers. what would be my best option for this? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
