Problems compiling PostgreSQL package from FC8 on CentOS 5
by Peter Hopfgartner 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Dear CentOS list we are a small software company making mostly web driven GIS software. We started to simplify out sysadmin life making RPM packages of most of the GIS software stack. For a dependency issue we had to abandon the upstream 8.1 PostgreSQL and install at least a 8.2 version. Taking the package from Fedora 8 and rebuilding it for x86_64 went smoothly. Unfortunatly the same is not true for i386. It stops with: checking for collateindex.pl... no checking for sgmlspl... no checking thread safety of required library functions... no configure: error: thread test program failed This platform is not thread-safe. Check the file 'config.log' for the exact reason. You can use the configure option --enable-thread-safety-force to force threads to be enabled. But you must then run the program in src/test/thread and add locking function calls to your applications to guarantee thread safety. error: Bad exit status from /home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.77591 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.77591 (%build) The temporary file is: #!/bin/sh RPM_SOURCE_DIR="/home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/SOURCES" RPM_BUILD_DIR="/home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/BUILD" RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686" RPM_ARCH="i386" RPM_OS="linux" export RPM_SOURCE_DIR RPM_BUILD_DIR RPM_OPT_FLAGS RPM_ARCH RPM_OS RPM_DOC_DIR="/usr/share/doc" export RPM_DOC_DIR RPM_PACKAGE_NAME="postgresql" RPM_PACKAGE_VERSION="8.2.11" RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE="1" export RPM_PACKAGE_NAME RPM_PACKAGE_VERSION RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE RPM_BUILD_ROOT="/home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/tmp/postgresql-8.2.11-1-root" export RPM_BUILD_ROOT set -x umask 022 cd /home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/BUILD cd postgresql-8.2.11 CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:--O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686}" ; export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS:--O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686}" ; export CXXFLAGS # Strip out -ffast-math from CFLAGS....

utility to find which /dev/videoX
by Jerry Geis 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

is there a utility or SOME method to determine which /dev/videoX (like /dev/video0 or /dev/video1) is being used by a device??? Example I have a USB camera and a USB TV module how do I determine which device is on /dev/video0 and which is on /dev/video1 I have seen perhaps a way in dmesg but I am looking for the BEST way and the correct way. Thanks, Jerry

sendmail Deferred mail - reason unknown
by Sean Carolan 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

I'm a bit baffled by this problem. Maybe there's a sendmail guru out there who can help me out here. We have some end-users who need to receive system-generated mail that originates from a java-based application on our network. The java app sends the mail through our sendmail cluster, which then sends the email on to the end-user over the Internet. The size of the emails can range from a few kb up through around 2Mb in size. The mail logs show that these emails are typically delayed for up to 24 hours, sometimes longer. It appears that several attempts to deliver the email are made, with each unsuccessful one showing "Deferred" status in the maillog. After several hours of failed attempts the mail finally goes through successfully. Here is a typical entry (customer name redacted): exmx1 : Dec 14 05:28:39 exmx1 sendmail[31574]: mBDIYhEa031574: to=< customer(a)example.com>, delay=00:00:00, xde lay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=41874, relay=mail.example.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred Unfortunately there is no reason given for the "Deferred" status such as "Server unavailable", etc. Do you have any ideas how I can begin to troubleshoot this?

Any way to reduce CPU use of OpenSSH?
by Steve Snyder 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

On my CentOS v5.2 server (dual Pentium4) the OpenSSH daemon stands out as being the most CPU-intensive of the applications running, It's used 176 minutes of CPU time in the last 2 days alone. Is there any way to lower the CPU utilization without compromising security? (I.e. without using a less processor-intensive encrypt/decrypt algorithm?) I'm getting the CPU use figures from top, so there no fine-grained info on exactly what code is taking so much time. I'm assuming that the bulk of the time is spent in the OpenSSL libraries. Is there some hardware add-on or processor-specific optimization that would reduce the CPU load incurred by OpenSSH? Thanks.

OT supermicro server chassis?
by Gordon McLellan 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Does anyone have a supermicro 942i server chassis? I'm trying to figure out if it has a true nine 5.25" drive bays, or if the one occupied by the 3.5" caddy is special / crippled. What I want to do is install three of the supermicro 5x3 hot swap backplanes and I'm gunshy about buying one site unseen. Thanks! Gordon

Centos 5.2 yum check-update fails - repo change?
by Dave Stevens 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

A couple of days ago I run yum update to take care of installing new updates for evolution.i386, evolution-data-server.i386 and nscd.i386 . The update went through with no fuss. Yesterday when I ran check-update I got the exact same updates list. So I did not run yum update, thinking this was a sync error or a repo issue. Today (just a few minutes ago) I ran the update check again and got the same list. So I ran yum clean all and now I get a different error, detailed below. Anyone know why this happens or what to do? I see the epel mirror has changed but don't know why or what to make of it. Advice welcome.

CentOS PPC architecture support
by Stewart Williams 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

I have a system with a PowerPC cpu which I'd like to run CentOS on in a production environment (albeit for a home personal server.) Does anyone know if the CentOS team are actually going to support PPC? I have found a page which states release 4 is in beta[1]. But little else. Is there lack of demand for support for this aging arch? Is there a lack of volunteers? I'd be willing to test the releases and bug report, or help out in anyway I can. Fedora has good support, however, I don't really want to update the system often. [1] http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=65

GNOME + Firefox - Mouse froze - what key combination to revive?
by Lanny Marcus 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Earlier, I was using GNOME and Firefox and the Mouse died. I had to kill the power, to get the box going again, because it doesn't have a reset switch; which is *not* an elegant way to get going. What key combination would get me going or to a shell? CentOS 5, fully updated, 32 bit. TIA!
