Errors using custom install disk
by John Kennedy 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (Sorry if this is a dupe. Sent originally from unregistered email address) All, I am trying to make a custom install CD for CentOS 5.2. I am building the iso in a VirtualBox image and testing the iso in another VirtualBox image so I don't keep wasting CD's. I have gotten to where all the package dependencies are met and now I get the following error on boot: An error occurred unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then click OK to retry This scrolls rapidly up the screen (doing text install) and there is no "OK" button. I have seen that there is a bug about this dated 2006 at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206352 But that was closed in November 2007 so it SHOULD be fixed in the iso I am trying. I also read in a forum that the CD "drive was going into some sort of "sleep" mode which the install couldn't overcome." The solution for this person was to <Ctrl> <Alt> <F2> and in the new session do an ls on /mnt/sort every few seconds. Since this needs to be as unattended an install as possible, that wouldn't work even if I could get to the second console. Any ideas? Thanks, John -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmuQpcACgkQh55XlAYb/QjjgQCbBLsl31LK9OdB+cTR1iDCLSnU bS8AoJpbOW6s1vwMJsS9oSYzI+2hrcEj =GVZY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by MOKRANI Rachid 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Hi, On CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18-92) the yum security plugin seem to not working. If I try "yum update --security" nothing is done. Is there something to configure ? All the following packages are installed on my system. yum.noarch 3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 installed yum-aliases.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-allowdowngrade.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-basearchonly.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-changelog.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-downloadonly.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-fastestmirror.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-filter-data.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-kernel-module.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-kmod.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-list-data.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-merge-conf.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-metadata-parser.x86_64 1.1.2-2.el5 installed yum-priorities.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-protect-packages.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-protectbase.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-refresh-updatesd.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-security.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-skip-broken.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-tsflags.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-updateonboot.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-updatesd.noarch 1:0.9-2.el5 installed yum-upgrade-helper.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-utils.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-versionlock.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed Regards. __________________________ Ce message (et toutes ses pièces jointes éventuelles) est confidentiel et établi à l'intention exclusive de ses destinataires.

Should I be worried?
by Todd Cary 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

When doing my updates, I got this message: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /boot/System.map-2.6.9-78.0. 13.EL;49a Unfortunately, I installed Centos 4 about two years ago on my server that sits in the corner and does it's job of faithfully providing services without me touching it except to run a backup script and do a YUM update every week so. The result is that I have forgotten my Linux know how! Help! Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.toddcary.com/aristephotography/

head scratcher update
by Craig White 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

perhaps my mind isn't working today. I'm trying to update a system that hasn't been updated in a while which I believe is CentOS 5.2 but it's possible that it's 5.1. I am pretty sure that it has php installed from CentOS-Extras and when I do yum update, it's stumbling on php --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php-mysql Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php-cli Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php-xml Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php-ldap Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php-imap Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php-mbstring Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1 is needed by package php-pdo So I queried rpm to see what's installed... # rpm -qa|grep php php-common-5.1.6-15.el5 php-mysql-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Net-Sieve-1.1.5-2.el5.centos php-mcrypt-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1 php-pear-MDB2-2.4.1-2.el5.centos php-cli-5.1.6-15.el5 php-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Net-SMTP-1.2.10-1.el5.centos php-pear-Date-1.4.7-2.el5.centos php-pear-HTTP-Request-1.4.2-1.el5.centos php-pear-1.4.9-4 php-pear-Mail-Mime-1.4.0-1.el5.centos php-xml-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pecl-memcache-2.2.1-1.el5.centos php-pdo-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Net-Socket-1.0.8-1.el5.centos php-pear-Mail-1.1.14-1.el5.centos php-pear-Net-URL-1.0.15-1.el5.centos php-pear-File-1.2.2-1.el5.centos php-pecl-Fileinfo-1.0.4-3.el5.centos php-pear-DB-1.7.13-1.el5.centos php-ldap-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Auth-SASL-1.0.2-4.el5.centos php-mbstring-5.1.6-15.el5 php-imap-5.1.6-15.el5 php-pear-Log-1.9.13-1.el5.centos and I suppose I could yum remove php and reinstall but that seems rather drastic, plus, I have horde, etc setup too. Any suggestions? Craig

ext3 heavy file fragmentation with NFS write
by Andrzej Szymański 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello, Does anybody know how to avoid the file fragmentation when a file is created over NFSv3? A file created locally is OK: dd bs=32k if=/dev/zero of=test count=32x1024 conv=fsync filefrag test test: 10 extents found, perfection would be 9 extents When I create the file in the same dir, but from another machine, mounted over NFS: filefrag test test: 4833 extents found, perfection would be 9 extents With such a file a sequential read is quite slow (~76MB vs >200MB on my raid card). I can just suspect that this is a problem of block allocation when the same file is appended by different processes (8 NFS threads). I've tried mounting ext3 with -o reservation and switch to NFS over TCP, with no improvement. Both systems are Centos 5.2 with kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 The ext3 is mounted with rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota,grpquota,acl NFS export: rw,sync,no_root_squash 8 NFS threads. Remotely mounted with options rw,intr,nfsvers=3,proto=udp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 I would be very grateful for any help. Andrzej

Why are multiple architecture rpms installed?
by Marten Lehmann 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello, I noticed, that whenever I install a package on CentOS 5.x, rpms for multiple architectures are installed: yum install sqlite-devel Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.intergenia.de * updates: centos.intergenia.de * addons: centos.intergenia.de * extras: centos.intergenia.de base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package sqlite-devel.x86_64 0:3.3.6-2 set to be updated ---> Package sqlite-devel.i386 0:3.3.6-2 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: sqlite-devel x86_64 3.3.6-2 base 260 k sqlite-devel i386 3.3.6-2 base 260 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 2 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 520 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/2): sqlite-devel-3.3.6 100% |=========================| 260 kB 00:01 (2/2): sqlite-devel-3.3.6 100% |=========================| 260 kB 00:01 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: sqlite-devel ######################### [1/2] Installing: sqlite-devel ######################### [2/2] Installed: sqlite-devel.x86_64 0:3.3.6-2 sqlite-devel.i386 0:3.3.6-2 Complete! Thats pretty annoying, because an "rpm -qa | grep sqlite" only shows the package name, not the arch: sqlite-3.3.6-2 sqlite-devel-3.3.6-2 sqlite-3.3.6-2 sqlite-devel-3.3.6-2 When I later want to remove rpms, I always have to mention both archs explicitly: rpm -e sqlite-3.3.6-2.i386 rpm -e sqlite-3.3.6-2.x64_86 And sometimes packages have arch i686 as well. Or I get an error: rpm -e sqlite error: "sqlite" specifies multiple packages First I thought, that this might be an issue due to 32bit compatibility. But then I remembered, that I used CentOS 4 on 64bit, too, and there was no such problem. How can I get rid of it? Kind regard Marten

Need Broadcom 4311 firmware for CentOS 5
by Robert Nichols 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Any hope of getting my laptop's Broadcom BCM94311 wireless running on CentOS 5? I find lots of references to using fwcutter to get the needed firmware from Windows drivers, but there's a Catch-22: Version of fwcutter that generate files for the bcm43xx driver in CentOS 5 don't recognize the md5sum of any currently available Windows driver. Newer versions of fwcutter do recognize my Windows XP driver files, but generate output in a newer format that is not compatible with the bcm43xx driver. I've been searching and fighting this for quite some time. I have a Fedora 10 installation that runs the wireless just fine on that laptop (Lenovo 3000 N200), but I really hate the churn and instability of Fedora. I was hoping that CentOS 5.3 might include a backported b43 driver, but I grabbed a preliminary version of the new kernel (2.6.18-132), and it still has the old bcm43xx.ko driver. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.

Fail2Ban
by Devraj Mukherjee 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi all, I am trying to get fail2ban going on my server and its log message reports the following error 2009-02-16 17:42:05,339 ERROR: 'iptables -L INPUT | grep -q fail2ban-SSH' returned 256 2009-02-16 17:42:05,354 ERROR: 'iptables -D INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j fail2ban-SSH Is this because of the way the RedHat tool sets up the firewall? Thanks for any responses. -- "The secret impresses no-one, the trick you use it for is everything" - Alfred Borden (The Prestiege)
