Re: [CentOS] FYI: solution Re: mock %post(pam) failure

Farkas' solution is exactly right. I have been banging my head against this problem for a while now and it wasn't until I finally paced myself and read carefully through the entire thread that I found this solution. Here is the procedure spelled out a bit more precisely. Get the CentOS 5.2 rpms of popt, rpm, rpm-libs, rpm-python and rpm-build. Obviously you can use most any mirror and if you are using i386 you should replace x86_64 with i386. I prefer to use RIT since its my Alma Mater and they seem to have good bandwidth and keep older versions. # wget http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/popt-1.10.2-48.el5.x8 6_64.rpm # wget http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.x86_ 64.rpm # wget http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/rpm-build-4.4.2-48.el 5.x86_64.rpm # wget http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/rpm-libs-4.4.2-48.el5 .i386.rpm # wget http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/rpm-python-4.4.2-48.e l5.x86_64.rpm It took some testing but because we are rolling back several packages RPM handled the dependencies a little weird but here's the rpm command that does all the magic. # rpm -Uvh --oldpackage --nodeps popt-1.10.2-48.el5.x86_64.rpm rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.x86_64.rpm rpm-libs-4.4.2-48.el5.i386.rpm rpm-python-4.4.2-48.el5.x86_64.rpm --nodeps is required because rpm complains about needing to fill some dependencies for 4.4.2-48 but we are in fact trying to install those very dependencies so we have to tell rpm not to bother. If you are concerned throw in a --test switch to make sure everything goes well. I never like using rpm to roll back rpm, just seems dangerous, like crossing the streams. After rolling back to the CentOS 5.2 versions of popt, rpm, rpm-libs and rpm-python I am able to successfully init the epel-5-i386 mock root. I tested several times and made sure to clear the build root and yum caches in my tests. Farkas' suggested this might be a bug in rpm or popt which seems to hold true. Clearly between point releases something changed that caused rpm to behave slightly differently when it comes to ordering transactions. I am comfortable now using the slightly outdated RPMs but I wonder what will happen in CentOS 5.4/5.5 and so on. Regards, -Alan KEYWORDS: mock 0.9.14, CentOS 5.3, coreutils 5.97, pam 0.99.6.2

Re: [CentOS] re-install over internet
by Bob Puff 15 Jun '09

>> John: If the DC has KVM over IP, they can connect to his box, can he do it with that? Lanny Interesting idea. I don't think they do, but even if they did, I don't have the install CD in the drive. Is there a way to perhaps load a tiny distro on /boot, reconfigure grub to load that, and then use that to do the deed? I can copy the data to other nearby servers, so I'm not worried about that, but I don't have the install CDs handy. I could download something to a nearby server though, if that would help. Bob

Thanks for the reply. I some more details: I have the following HD config: sda1 - 100 megs, /boot sda2 - 1gb, swap sda3 - 70gb, raid ------ sdb1 - 100 megs, empty sdb2 - 1gb swap sbb3 - 70gb raid Would it be possible to use /boot to hold something? or perhaps turning off the swap and using the two gigs there? I could probably trim down the OS to under 2gb total. Bob

re-install over internet
by Bob Puff 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hello, I just got back from a datacenter where I installed a new server running CentOS 5.3. I set up a software raid with md0 being /. (Only one mount, didn't split anything up.) I just discovered that instead of raid 1, it did raid 0... Not exactly what I wanted! Probably missed that little check when installing. So now, I need to change this. But since the whole OS is on this raided partition that I want to change, I'm a bit stuck. Is there a way to launch an installer while in the OS that I can re-install the whole thing over the internet, without having to physically go to the box? Speed of installation is not that much of an issue. It would obviously need to keep up some sort of shell with my current eth0 settings during the install. Thanks for any ideas! Bob

Fonts missing in KDE/vnc
by Kevin Thorpe 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi all, sorry if this question gets duplicated, I can't seem to get e-mails to the list. I've installed vnc-server and kde-desktop but there appear to be no fonts available. All the text is little boxes. What else do I need to install to get the fonts? thanks

scsi_id doesn't returns any result
by carlopmart 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi all, I need to assign persistent names to some scsi disks on one host (CentOS 5.3 fully patched), but I can't because scsi_id doesn't returns any results. For example: [root@c5srv01 etc]# scsi_id -u -g -s /block/sda [root@c5srv01 etc]# scsi_id -u -g -s /block/sdb [root@c5srv01 etc]# scsi_id -u -g -s /block/sdc [root@c5srv01 etc]# scsi_id -u -g -s /block/sdd Somebody knows what can it be wrong?? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com
