Illegal opp code
by Dermot 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hi, HP DL 385 G2. CentOS 5.1 Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 I have a newly installed server that was running x. It told me there were updates to install. I accepted that all, except sysreport as I always seem to have problems installing. I rebooted, having set the default run level to 3. I then got a red screen with an "illegal OpCode" error message. I have used my CD to boot into rescue more. My old system is mounted under /mnt. I would also like to get my system back up and running. I have put a fair bit of time into loading libraries and software. I have tried editing the grub.conf and commenting out the 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 kernel so it used a previous kernel but I can not get past this error. There is no message from grub. The system comes straight from the BIOS messages into this red screen. Is there any other ways to determine what the problem is? The error messages says nothing more that a few lines of hex which don't look useful to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated. TIA. Dp.

Installing nVidia driver on remote CentOS 4
by Eon Strife 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hi, There's a linux cluster somewhere (using Rocks), and I use remote desktop (nxmachine) to do the work on the frontend of the cluster. The desktop is Gnome. And, I intend to install new nVidia driver, but it requires me to stop the X Server. I check around the internet, they say we can use the /etc/init.d/gdm stop, but I can't run it since the gdm file does not exist. Another alternative is by rebooting the Linux (of course, we change the inittab before). But I don't know how to reboot remotely. Moreover, I don't know if it is safe to reboot Linux remotely, because I can't physically access the linux workstation. Oh, the operating system of the Linux is CentOS 4. What should I do ? Thanks. New Email names for you! Get the Email name you've always wanted on the new @ymail and @rocketmail. Hurry before someone else does! http://mail.promotions.yahoo.com/newdomains/aa/

Vyatta is an open source full-featured router/firewall/vpn solution based on Debian. It can be installed on a physical computer or virtualized. Especially in a virtualized environment, Vyatta allows one to easily segregate network segments. Resource requirements can be very low depending on the level of traffic and features enabled. I currently use it as my primary home router for my static PPPoE AT&T DSL. I also use it to provide inter-VLAN routing. At my previous employment, I used it for inter-VLAN routing - segments for VoIP, LAN, and DMZ. It worked very well and never had a hiccup. Best of all, there is no fee for the community edition, with a new version about every 6 months. There's a subscription service if you want technical support and timely updates. BTW, I don't work for Vyatta, just a happy user of their product. Here are the technical specs from their website: HARDWARE SUPPORT » 32-bit x86 processors » PC architecture INTERFACES » 10/100/1000 Ethernet cards » 10 GbE cards » T1/E1 cards – 1 port » T1/E1 cards – 2 port » T1/E1 cards – 4 port » T3 cards IP AND ROUTING PROTOCOLS » IPv4 » OSPFv2 » BGPv4 » RIPv2 » Static routes IP ADDRESS MANAGEMENT » Static » DHCP server » DHCP client » DHCP relay ENCAPSULATIONS » Ethernet » 802.1Q VLANs » PPP » PPPoE » MLPPP » Frame Relay » HDLC » GRE, IP-in-IP LOAD BALANCING » WAN link load balancing » MLPPP » ECMP QoS » Priority Queuing » Classful Queuing » Bandwidth Management SECURITY » Stateful inspection fi rewall » Network address translation » IPSec VPN » Remote VPN (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) » DES, 3DES, AES Encryption » MD5 and SHA-1 Authentication » RSA, Diffi e Helman Key Management » NAT Traversal » RADIUS authentication » Individual user accounts and passwords HIGH AVAILABILITY » VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) » IPSec VPN Clustering » Protocol fault isolation ADMINISTRATION » Integrated CLI » Web GUI* » Single confi guration fi le » Telnet » SSHv2 » Network upgrades DEBUGGING AND PACKET SNIFFING » tcpdump » Wireshark packet capture LOGGING AND MONITORING » Syslog » SNMPv2c * Web GUI Available Q3 ‘08 Wilson _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Startup programs in specific workspaces
by MHR 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

I have a specific method of using my five GNOME workspaces to perform certain categories of tasks when I log in on a machine, so I just had a thought. Is there a way to specify, say from a login script, for an application to start up in a particular workspace, preferably with a specific "screen" location? Or is this a gnome question? Thanks. mhr

Newbies to CentOS List
by Josh Donovan 13 Sep '08

Guidelines for CentOS Mailing List posts * Mailing List Etiquette * How To Ask Questions The Smart Way * Quoting Style * Why is Bottom-posting better than Top-posting 1. Please turn off HTML in your e-mail client for these mailing lists. We have several subscribers who read the list with text only readers and they can't easily read html formatted e-mails. There is a place (somewhere) for the flowery stationary and themes that some mail clients offer ... but this is not it. Again, please only post text e-mails to these mailing lists. 2. Please do not top post to the mailing list when replying to a post. (See the Quoting Style link above, and use the Interleaved text method , deleting non-applicable text as required. If you need to reply to a message, and you do not need to post in interleaved mode, please bottom post instead of top posting. 3. Please trim the extra stuff in the email and leave enough to make sense of the thread. Note: There are places to debate the merits of top posting and how it might have some advantages in relation to Interleaved text or bottom posting ... but this is not one of those places. Extracted from http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 I added no 3 above. I had not been on this mailing list or others for a while but I thought other newbies would benefit. Thanks, Josh.

Hi all.. I have centos 5.2 There is a cron file that is commented out to auto update the rules of spamassassin Location: /etc/cron.d/sa-update This file is chmod 600, should it not be 755? All the other crons are 755 This line is commented. #10 4 * * * root /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log Questions 1- should I re chmod it to 600 or leave it at 755? Is anyone else using this? The cron file says to read a certain wiki page and do this cron at your own peril. Yet I find no warnings on that wiki page that would make me think this was bad. Thanks all

13 Sep '08

Greets, Thank you to all the CentOS team and supporters. :-) Just wondering though... Any 4.7 update issues or horror stories yet? Also, anyone that has upstream support and previously updated, any issues for Internet facing, or other, production machines ? - rh
