by Jerry Geis 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

I am trying to do some new things with kickstart. I get a message that pops up "Could not allocate requested partitions" press OK to reboot. How do you go about debugging the kickstart file? How can I pop up information (in text mode) on the screen??? so I can see my values for my partitions. THanks, Jerry

Virtual email with Postfix, MySQL and Dovecot problem
by Lunix1618 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Hello all, Anyone of you success to install virtual email with Postfix, MySQL and Dovecot on CentOS 5.2 ? I am running: mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5, postfix-2.3.3-2.el5.centos.mysql_pgsql and dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5 on CentOS 5.2 box and can not make it work. All deamons (mysqld, postfix master, dovecot) are running but I can not make it deliver email to virtual user via Dovecot. The log file show that postfix is not deliver email to virtual user but it deliver to all virtual aliased address. The configuration file is working with my test on laptop that running Fedora 9 with mysql-server-5.0.51a-1.fc9.i386, postfix-2.5.1-2.fc9.i386 and dovecot-1.0.15-10.fc9.i386 The version number is not too much different so I think it is not a problem. Attached are config files that working on fedora 9 and I using it on CentOS but not work This configuration I followed the guide at http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ I am not native English speaker so my explanation above may not clearly enough, pls raise question for me if you need further information Your advices are highly appreciates! Thank you and regards, lunix.

Centos 5 card reader automount
by Frank Cox 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

To this point, whenever I've plugged a storage device (flash drive, mp3 player) into a USB plug, it's magically mounted and I get an icon on my desktop. I've just got a card reader and it doesn't automount. I can mount it manually with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp" and that works fine. I would prefer to have it automount and give me the desktop icon. Unfortunately, I don't yet know enough about the automounting mechanism to know what I need to change to make this happen. Here is the relevant portion of /var/log/messages when I plug in the card reader: Sep 4 16:31:11 bargainhunter kernel: usb 7-6: new high speed USB device using e hci_hcd and address 12 Sep 4 16:31:11 bargainhunter kernel: usb 7-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 ch oice Sep 4 16:31:11 bargainhunter kernel: scsi11 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Stora ge devices Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Vendor: Generic Model: USB SD Reader Rev: 1.00 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: SCSI device sdb: 3901440 512-byte hdwr sec tors (1998 MB) Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: SCSI device sdb: 3901440 512-byte hdwr sec tors (1998 MB) Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sdb: sdb1 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 typ e 0 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Vendor: Generic Model: USB CF Reader Rev: 1.01 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:1: Attached scsi removable disk sdc Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 typ e 0 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Vendor: Generic Model: USB SM Reader Rev: 1.02 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:2: Attached scsi removable disk sdd Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:2: Attached scsi generic sg4 typ e 0 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Vendor: Generic Model: USB MS Reader Rev: 1.03 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:3: Attached scsi removable disk sde Sep 4 16:31:16 bargainhunter kernel: sd 11:0:0:3: Attached scsi generic sg5 typ e 0 Again, it works fine if I use a mount command to mount it myself.

Configuring an Intel 3945 wireless card: partial success
by Niki Kovacs 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Hi, My wife has a new ASUS laptop with an Intel 3945 wireless card. I'm running CentOS 5 on all our desktops here (at work and at home), and I'm quite happy with it. I had a partial success in configuring the wireless card. Basically I'm using [base], [updates], [extra] and [rpmforge] repos, configured with the yum-priorities plugin. Priority 10 for RPMForge, 1 for the others. From RPMForge, I installed dkms-ipw3945, the driver for my wireless card. I gave it a first go with the most basic setup, that is: static IP, no encryption. After installing the driver, the card shows up as eth1. I removed /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and edited a minimalistic ifcfg-eth1. After a restart, the interface comes up OK, and I can connect to my access point as well as ping machines on the internet. But now I'd like to install and use NetworkManager. I've read the according Wiki entry on the CentOS site. Here's what I did: 1) Added the 'NetworkManager' and 'NetworkManagerDispatcher' services (using chkconfig) 2) Removed the 'network' service (also using chkconfig) 3) Rebooted to be sure Result: 1) The NetworkManager icon shows up OK on the upper right side of my GNOME desktop. 2) When an Ethernet cable is connected to the machine, NetworkManager configures a connection OK (cable connected to router). 3) The wireless ESSID of my access point shows up OK in NetworkManager. Ethernet cables get some sort of priority in NetworkManager, so I unplugged the cable and clicked on the wireless connection. NetworkManager tries to establish a connection for about 30 seconds, but fails. ... which leaves me clueless. Any suggestions? Last detail: for the moment at least, I'm using no encryption at all on the access point. We live in a very remote place in the south French countryside, there's only hunters and wild boars around, so it's not a very friendly place for wlan-hackers :o) Niki Kovacs

It looks like the qemu monitor should let you either eject the device or delete/add the USB drive using usb_del and usb_add. I wasn't able to get it to work. W2K gives me a control to unmount the thumb drive in the system tray which makes the drive "disappear" from W2K. Unfortunately, attaching a new drive or just reattaching the old drive isn't recognized by W2K. qemu monitor tells me it unable to add the new device or delete the old device. If hot swapping a USB drive can be made to work with qemu, swapping a USB drive will still be ugly. The USB device number assigned by the kernel changes each time I swap thumb drives. This isn't too bad but access to /proc/bus/usb/<usb_bus_number>/<usb_dev_number> is root:root with permissions rw-r--r--. This means that each time I swap the drive I have to chmod the "new" USB device entry. I don't see this changing even if I can get qemu to let me add the new device. I'll have to try using qemu monitor to swap a CD-ROM at some point in the future. Usually I only use W2K and IE under qemu to access those few sites that still only work with IE (e.g., my state's income tax site). Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

gFTP IPv6 bug
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

I found the following bug report that matches what I am seeing with the gFTP we have in Centos: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350813 This is an old bug that they claim has been fixed in CVS. Has that been applied to what we are running? Becuase gFTP crashes for me on IPv6 using FTP.

Compiling v6tun from KAME
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

I need vtun working over IPv6. The version from rpmforge does not seem to support IPv6 (binds to 0.0.0.0:5000 if I specify binding to the interface, and won't let me put in an IPv6 address for address binding). So I was pointed to the KAME (which does not provide any FC/RHEL support. The person who sent me there provided a makefile that he said works on Linux, but did not work for me: Makefile from KAME: install_dir = /usr/local/v6/bin v6tun: v6tun.o cc -o $@ $> install: v6tun -rm -f $(install_dir)/v6tun install -c -o root -g wheel -m 04710 v6tun $(install_dir) clean: -rm -f *.o v6tun Makefile from contact: v6tun: v6tun.o gcc v6tun.c v6tun.h -o v6tun install: v6tun -rm -f $(install_dir)/v6tun install -c -o root -g wheel -m 04710 v6tun $(install_dir) clean: 6tun: v6tun.o -rm -f *.o v6tun gcc v6tun.c v6tun.h -o v6tun install: v6tun -rm -f $(install_dir)/v6tun install -c -o root -g wheel -m 04710 v6tun $(install_dir) clean: -rm -f *.o v6tun I changed the install_dir to /usr/local/bin I had put the makefile, v6tun.c, & v6tun.h in /root/v6tun and as root issued make install. I got the following error: Makefile:10: *** target pattern contains no '%'. Stop. What is missing to get this compiled?

Custom install DVD with new (SB600 chipset & Intel network) kernel modules
by Keith Wilkinson 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

First, congratulations on the fabulous CentOS Wiki. About the only information that I haven't found on it is how to create a custome install DVD with added kernel modules -- e.g. when the standard install DVD does not support the motherboard chipset (SATA drives & network cards not recognized, for example) and network card. I have an AMD ATI motherboard with SB600 chipset. When I tried to install the RH5.2 trial, I could not get Internet connectivity either with the onboard network chip (the network chip was recognized, but not the SB600 chipset interface) or with an Intel server net- work card (seems that the Intel driver in 5.2 does not support that network card's chip). Maybe I had to set IDE emulation for the SATA drives in the BIOS as well, I don't remember. Both the AMD ATI SB600 chipset and the Intel server card worked without problems on Fedora 9, so I'd like to try to compile the Fedora 9 modules on CentOS 5.2 then create an updated DVD ISO that is installable and has network connectivity on my hardware.
