I have restarted the operating system with CentOS's original kernel and done again my experiments. I found that bug has not occurred again. I don't know why. Maybe, the traditional libpcap has no provided enough capability like PF_RING. Or, perhapse something wrong is indeed in patched kernel or Dell hardware drivers. BTW, could you tell me what OS distribution you used in your testing PF_RING, RedHat AS4 or Others? And what kernel source codes are downloaded, from vendor's websites or www.kernel.org? I very thank you if you can recommend what OS distribution and what kernel version are put together can achieve the maximal stability. Thank anybody! Ian

Anybody else notice how poorly Firefox 3 update on CentOS-5 works via NX connection? Any suggestions on fixing the visual artifacts/bad redraws? Craig

Static Linking, C++ Exceptions
by Darrin Thompson 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

I'm having a problem statically linking a big c++ application on Centos4. I can make it work on Centos5 and that's great. I just need to figure out a way to reproduce the problem on a small test case. The specific problem is that when I throw an exception, I get a segfault. It only happens on Centos4, and only on ia-32 machines. In an act of desparation I disassembled the bit of code that's segfaulting and got this: (gdb) disass Dump of assembler code for function _ZN14__gnu_internal10get_globalEv: 0x08579614 <...get_globalEv+0>: call 0x8577c3e <__i686.get_pc_thunk.cx> 0x08579619 <...get_globalEv+5>: add $0x3b31c7,%ecx 0x0857961f <...get_globalEv+11>: push %ebp 0x08579620 <...get_globalEv+12>: mov $0xfffffff8,%eax 0x08579626 <...get_globalEv+18>: mov %esp,%ebp 0x08579628 <...get_globalEv+20>: pop %ebp 0x08579629 <...get_globalEv+21>: add %gs:0x0,%eax <<<--- dies here! <<< 0x08579630 <...get_globalEv+28>: ret 0x08579631 <...get_globalEv+29>: nop End of assembler dump. When it dies, %gs is 0 which looks tls related. Only problem is that when I write tiny test programs to reproduce this, they work fine. %gs is nonzero and everybody is happy. But on my big hulking app, I can throw and catch an exception immediately on entry to main and it segfaults faithfully. Relevant compiler flags are these: g++ -c -o whatever.o -O0 -ggdb -Wno-deprecated -Werror -fPIC -Dmanything -Imanydirs whatever.cpp g++ -o whatever -static -static-libgcc many.o -Lmanydirs -lpthread -lanotherlib -lzlib -lesmtp -lnsl -lrpcsvc -lcrypt -lacl -ldl -lrt -landmanymore So I'm looking for some guidance on what things I could try to isolate this in a smaller app. -- Darrin

stale NFS locks
by Craig White 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Because my primary server went down today, I have a couple of servers that have 'stale NFS mounts' which I can't unmount... # umount /home/storage/users umount: /home/storage/users: device is busy umount: /home/storage/users: device is busy short of restarting...is there a trick that I can do to umount/remount?

Widescreen monitor won't configure to a wide screen
by MHR 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

I just put a 1680x1050 LCD monitor on my home system, and I went into system-config-display to configure it as such, and it just won't take. I had to tweak some of the settings by hand, but when I log out, I get the wide screen for both the Nvidia driver splash screen and the login screen. But, when I log in, It jumps back to 1280x1024 and refuses to run in wide screen mode. Here's the xorg.conf (even when I'm logged in and the screen is only 1280x1024): # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: # HorizSync 31.5 - 65.5 # VertRefresh 56.0 - 65.0 # Option "dpms" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "LCD Panel 1680x1050" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 30.0 - 82.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "NoRenderExtension" "False" Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True" Option "RandRRotation" "True" Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" Option "TripleBuffer" "True" Option "DamageEvents" "True" SubSection "Display" # Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection The commented out Horix and Vert syncs are for my old monitor (a 17" non-ws), and the new ones are from the manual for the new screen. I tried with these commented out, but it still would not work. One thing I noticed is that when the gdm starts up, it goes from "auto adjust" (wide screen) to "analog-d" (non-ws) - dunno what that means. Any suggestions? It's really annoying to have a wide screen and not be able to use it.... Thanks. mhr What am I missing?

That worked. It was at init 3, and init 5 gave me the behaviour I wanted. === Al

rpm dependency question
by Mark Belanger 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

I have an rpm I've created that has a dependency on a library provided by a third party. This dependency is not specified anywhere in my spec file yet the package seems to know about when I run: # rpm -qip --requires MyPackage.rpm The third party rpm is installed and uninstalled via a vendor-supplied script so that they can prompt you to accept licenses and so on. Problem is, the vendor supplied un-install script fails to un-install because of the dependency MyPackage has on one of it's libraries. Is there a way to build my package so that it has no knowledge of external dependencies? My other option is to alter the vendor supplied uninstall script so that it does rpm -e --nodeps. I'd very much prefer to not mess with the vendor supplied scripts. I guess as a related question, how does my rpm know about external dependencies? Is rpmbuild doing some analysis of it's content via ldd or something? -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

Mounting File Share Using CIFS ?'s
by TechGuy 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

I have been trying to mount a windows file share so I can use it for remote storage particularly for my Deki Wiki attachments. Anyway, I seem to have a mount established by doing the following. 1. Added following line to /etc/fstab //fs01/wikidata /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=wikisvcacct,password=testpwd,domain=corporate 2. Then ran following command to mount it. mount //fs01/wikidata 3. Then ran following command to confirm mount. df Output of 'df': //fs01/wikidata 1821803064 1435671544 386131520 79% /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments This would appear to indicate the mount was successful correct? If I understand this whole thing, if i change directory to /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments would I then be using or looking at //fs01/wikidata ? Or am I still looking at the local file system? Or does it depend on the user? Since I set this up for the dekiwiki user with uid=500, would I logged in as root be able to access this mount or do I need to add another line in the /etc/fstab for root? Thanks!
