Missing package
by Anne Wilson 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

The big update caused one of the rare re-starts on my mail server, so I saw the startup messages that I had forgotten about. Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: [3424]: warning: python-dbus not installed. Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: hp-systray[3424]: warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed. Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: hp-systray[3424]: error: hp-systray requires Qt4 GUI and DBus support. Exiting. I cna't find any package python-dbus. dbus-python is installed, but hp- systray doesn't recognise that as the same thing. Is it possible to create some sort of link so that when it attempts to call python-dbus it gets dbus- python instead?

Locales and filenames
by Alfred von Campe 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

I have a file which contains non-ASCII characters (umlauts, accented characters, etc.) both in its filename as well as its content. The only way I have been able to see these characters is inside vim, where they are displayed correctly no matter what I have LANG set to. My default LANG is en_US.utf8, but I have tried de_DE.utf8, de_DE.iso88591, and various others. In the output of a simple ls, the characters are shown as either a simple "?" or a "?" in a box depending on what I have LANG set to, and the same is true if I use cat to display the contents. I have tried this both in an xterm as well as a gnome-terminal window on a CentOS 5.3 system. I am taking stabs in the dark here as I've never had to deal with LANG and locales before. Am I missing something obvious or is there more to it than simply setting LANG. Since I can see the characters correctly in vim, I'm sure it's not a font issue. I just want to be able to display these characters correctly with simple Linux commands like ls and cat. Thanks, Alfred

ata errors from dmesg
by Jerry Geis 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

dmesg is reporting ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/10 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/14/00 ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } ata1: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound } My HD disk is on /dev/sda1 so I presume this is errors from the CDROM. Is there a command I can use to not do anything with the CDROM? It was just there for install. This is an older machine running 4.4 i686 . Its also remote so I just can't unplug the CDROM. If there is a command to tell the kernel to ignore the CDROM that would be great. Thanks, jerry

Scripting help please....
by Truejack 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Need a scripting help to sort out a list and list all the duplicate lines. My data looks somethings like this host6:dev406mum.dd.mum.test.com:22:11:11:no host7:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:36:17:19:no host7:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:36:17:19:no host17:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:31:17:19:no host12:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:41:17:19:no host2:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:36:17:19:no host4:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:41:17:19:no host4:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:45:17:19:no host4:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:36:17:19:no I need to sort this list and print all the lines where column 3 has a duplicate entry. I need to print the whole line, if a duplicate entry exists in column 3. I tried using a combination of "sort" and "uniq" but was not successful.

vmware 2.x
by Les Mikesell 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Does anyone know if the just-released vmware server 2.0.2 was supposed to fix the glibc incompatibility with RHEL/Centos 5.4? (It didn't on the first box where I tried it...). -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Repodata for 5.4 updates?

I haven't paid close enough attention in the past to see if this was "normal"...for the updates to appear before the repodata. It does make sense that that would be the case, to allow things to propagate. I wasn't sure if this was normal, or an oversight. Thanks...I'll continue to be patient. :) Kevin

Rsync and full path of filenames
by Niki Kovacs 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, I have a bit of a tricky question about rsync. Let's say I want to backup a bunch of configuration files with rsync, in a script. What I don't want to do : a full snapshot of /etc. What I want to do : backup only those files I need, in an otherwise empty directory tree. In my script, I'd begin with a list of the files I effectively want to backup. Something like : /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/vhosts.d/*.conf /etc/exports Then I'd have some other files in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin, which I would like to backup too. Instead of a puzzling explanation, let me just show you how I would like my resulting backup to look like, so you get the idea : etc/ `-- httpd |-- conf | `-- httpd.conf `-- vhosts.d |-- site1.conf |-- site2.conf `-- site3.conf usr/ `-- local |-- bin | |-- script1.sh | `-- script2.sh |-- sbin |-- sbinscript3.sh `-- sbinscript4.sh Now if I do something like this : rsync -av /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf destinationfolder/ I get something like : destinationfolder/httpd.conf QUESTION (at last) : is there a way rsync can somehow add the full file path, so the end result is more like : destinationfolder/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ? Any suggestions ? Niki

Cisco MDS 9124 with Centos 5.4
by Vernard C. Martin 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

The Release notes indicate that fencing support for the Cisco MDS 9124 and 9134 Fabric Switches have been added as a Technology Preview. I'd love to use this but it doesn't seem to be visible as a choice when using the web interface for configuring the cluster. I'm not averse to doing it by hand but I'm not sure of the XML syntax for that device in the cluster file. Anyone got any clues?
