SLightly OT - Seamonkey still crashes at random
by MHR 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

I've noticed recently that even my 32-bit, formally release SM v 1.1.11 still crashes at random. It used to happen when I tried to access certain interesting websites (no, not THOSE, Yahoo moderation pages), but today it crashed when I was managing my bookmarks and tried to move on from one folder to another. Has anyone else noticed this kind of instability in SM (or FF, for that matter, but mainly SM)? Just curious. mhr

01 Aug '08

Hello guys, hope i am not making an offtopic Currently we are looking for storage/backup solution in our company. Basically we need to backup data incrementaly from windows server and centos server + subversion repositories. So far i believe amanda would be best for this situation and also has good reference. Is there anything else - i would be glad to have space for research and choose backuping solution which fits for my needs best. Thanks in advance! David

Quation about CentOS 4 xenU kernel
by Kai Schaetzl 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

I converted a physical maschine running CentOS 4.6 to a Xen VM on a CentOS 5 host. Almost everything was running when I decided to rsync /lib and /usr a while later in order to get updated files and get the one or two non-working programs to work. There are differences because of the xenU kernel I didn't think about. I forgot to exclude rpm database and /lib/modules. Because the synced rpm database doesn't include the xenU kernel anymore I installed the latest one again. I got this warning: WARNING: No module ata_piix found for kernel 2.6.9-67.0.22.ELxenU, continuing anyway Looking around I don't have this module for the old kernel (2.6.9-67) either. But it's referenced in modprobe.conf. Nevertheless, I could boot the VM. A locate shows this module in all non-xenU kernels under /lib/modules, sometimes in a scsi, sometimes in an ata subdirectory. I still have a backup of the old setup before the sync and this doesn't contain ata_piix in /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.ELxenU/kernel/drivers/scsi either. And no ata directory. So, I'm a bit puzzled now. Do I need that module to boot a Xen VM? If not, why is it modprobed? And why do I get this warning from the xenU kernel?

Remounting a USB flash drive
by MHR 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the unplug and plug back in physics? Thanks. mhr

PXE Booting floppy image
by Joseph L. Casale 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Anyone know the correct syntax for specifying a floppy image in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file? I am trying to use: label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk FDIMAGE discimage.img But when I select it the menu, I get a message saying "Automatic boot in 30 seconds" and nothing happens. I would use: label Dos Bootdisk 2 MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk 2 kernel memdisk append initrd=discimage.img but this is a 2.88meg floppy and memdisk wont boot it? Thanks! jlc

BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.2 triggers SE Linux denial
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi. I've installed BackupPC 3.1.0 from Testing repository, to Cent OS 5.2 x86_64, and I am hitting an SE Linux denial - the httpd cannot talk to the BackupPC socket: type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc: denied { connectto } for pid=11767 comm=httpd path=/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc: denied { write } for pid=11767 comm=httpd name=BackupPC.sock dev=md0 ino=39813253 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=sock_file Is there an easy way to fix this, like setting the BackupPC.sock file universally writeable? I don't know SE Linux and right now my objective is to get BackupPC up and running. I've turned SE Linux off for now, but that's temporary until I get a more targeted fix. Thanks, Aleksey

gnome-session missing "--silent" switch
by Lorenzo Quatrini 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi, following this documentation (http://tinyurl.com/66z6ly) I found that on the version currently shipped whith CentOS 5 (2.16.0) is missing the "--silent" switch for use with gnome-session-save Do you know a workaround to accomplish the same result of "gnome-session-save --kill --silent" wich save and close the current session without user intervention? Or can you point me on the right direction to rebuild the SRPM with the patch for this bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149447)? thanks, Lorenzo Quatrini
