Back to my Xwindows kernel panic
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

I have a newly built drive with 5.2 fresh install (that I will be cloning shortly) in my DECtop and it is failing with X the same way the upgrade from 5.1 drive did (not too supprising there). In 5.1 X worked. I could startx from init 3 and get into GNOME. Also VNC into the box and have a GNOME screen. With 5.2, I get a kernel panic. Well I guess it is a kernel panic because once I run startx from the console, my SSH session to the box from my notebook is frozen. From /etc/sysconfig/hwconf I have: class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 desc: "National Semiconductor Corporation Geode GX2 Graphics Processor" vendorId: 100b deviceId: 0030 subVendorId: 100b subDeviceId: 0030 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1 pcifn: 1 the /etc/X11/xorg.conf has # 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" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Monitor 1024x768" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Now the way I got this working in 5.1 and 5.2 (5.1 install died for some reason or other, forget which and for 5.2 this unit has the powerk8 patch requirement), I install on an old compaq and change to init 3. I then move the drive and run system-config-display to get the unit to read the hwconf file and reset xorg.conf. This worked fine in 5.1. In 5.2, the system hangs. What to do? btw, i tried pci=noapci with no change. A couple other facts about this system. No accessable bios. When the system is booting (in character mode) the video frequently goes off then back on; some refresh problem. I have also seen this at times in a session on the console when I enter some commands. It would be nice to fix this. It might also tie in with the X problem. Thank you for your continued help. .

SIGPIPE in assorted apps after "yum update"
by John Hanks 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hello, I have several systems which I recently updated with yum -y update to all the latest packages. These systems use yum-priorities and use the CentOS (priority 1) EPEL (priority 5) and rpmforge (priority 10) repositories. After the updates, dhcpd stopped working with a SIGPIPE error which occurs shortly after it attempts to fork into the background. I worked around that problem by building a new server with no additional repos, only CentOS and dhcpd works fine on that system. Since then I have found the problem, or similar problems with a few more applications. Here is what the tail of an strace of pbs_mom as it attempts to fork into the background: listen(5, 512) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 6 setsockopt(6, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(15003), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 listen(6, 512) = 0 fcntl(4, F_SETLK, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = 0 clone(Process 23938 attached (waiting for parent) Process 23938 resumed (parent 23937 ready) child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x2aaaaad30db0) = 23938 [pid 23937] exit_group(0) = ? getsockname(3, 0x7fff6b7728a0, [128]) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation on non-socket) fcntl(3, F_GETFD) = 0 dup(3) = 7 fcntl(7, F_SETFD, 0) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 8 close(3) = 0 fcntl(8, F_GETFD) = 0 dup2(8, 3) = 3 fcntl(3, F_SETFD, 0) = 0 close(8) = 0 write(3, "\25\3\1\0\22\334\362\36\233\253\205\2633\323\322q\4\3T\rxK\210", 23) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe) --- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) @ 0 (0) --- Process 23938 detached This is pretty much the same thing that happened to dhcpd. In both cases they applications work fine in debug mode when they don't attempt to fork, but quietly die when ran normally. A third set of apps, wrappers for the client part of torque (pbs_mom) do this: stat("/usr/local/sbin/pbs_iff", {st_mode=S_IFREG|S_ISUID|0755, st_size=21412, ...}) = 0 pipe([5, 6]) = 0 clone(Process 24068 attached (waiting for parent) Process 24068 resumed (parent 24067 ready) child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x2aaaaad31ce0) = 24068 [pid 24067] close(6) = 0 [pid 24067] fcntl(5, F_GETFL) = 0 (flags O_RDONLY) [pid 24067] read(5, <unfinished ...> [pid 24068] getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(41855), sin_addr=inet_addr("129.123.148.49")}, [1164321820984213520]) = 0 [pid 24068] getpeername(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(636), sin_addr=inet_addr("129.123.20.92")}, [68719476752]) = 0 [pid 24068] fcntl(3, F_GETFD) = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC) [pid 24068] dup(3) = 7 [pid 24068] fcntl(7, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 [pid 24068] socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 8 [pid 24068] close(3) = 0 [pid 24068] fcntl(8, F_GETFD) = 0 [pid 24068] dup2(8, 3) = 3 [pid 24068] fcntl(3, F_SETFD, 0) = 0 [pid 24068] close(8) = 0 [pid 24068] write(3, "\25\3\1\0\22\346h\357n\r\17x\374B\312\217\374x\276\311\217\342%", 23) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe) [pid 24068] --- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) @ 0 (0) --- Process 24068 detached <... read resumed> "", 4) = 0 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- close(5) = 0 wait4(24068, [{WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGPIPE}], 0, NULL) = 24068 close(4) = 0 write(2, "No Permission.\n", 15No Permission. ) = 15 write(2, "qstat: cannot connect to server "..., 63qstat: cannot connect to server moab.hpc.usu.edu (errno=15007) ) = 63 exit_group(-1) = ? Once again, the app dies after it attempts to fork into the background. There are other things running on these systems that can successfully fork and I have been unable to figure out any pattern, other than if I don't use additional repos then it doesn't seem to break. That may be coincidental though, I haven't repeated it enough yet to be certain. Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated. Unfortunately I noticed this after deciding it was "safe" to update *all* my machines and so I'm suffering through a lot of rebuilds/restores because of this. Thanks, jbh

Help with gnome terminal
by James B. Byrne 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

I am experiencing a problem with gnome terminal, most likely caused by something that I have done and which I need to undo. The problem is that somehow the gnome configuration has been changed so that the "Contents" menu item under "Help" in Gnome Terminal has the character "space" mapped as a keyboard accelerator. I would prefer that this be mapped to just about anything else, in fact, nothing at all would be best. I have gone to system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts/ and it indicates that "Launch Help Browser" is mapped to F1. There does not seem to be any other entry therein relating to help. How do I set this to a benign value or return gnome terminal to its default settings? Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

CentOS 5.2 Missing Dependancy
by Joseph L. Casale 07 Jul '08

I am trying to install perl-Digest-Perl-MD5 from rf and it is failing suggesting it needs /usr/bin/false. #yum whatprovides "/usr/bin/false" yields nothing. My CentOS 5.1 machines don't have this, and this is the same list of yum install items I always use when setting up assp. Any idea what to do? jlc

MySQL in CentOS 5.2
by hce 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hi, I've just installed MySQL (mysql.i386 5.0.45-7.el5) and lighty (lighttpd.i386 1.4.19-1.el5.rf) to the CentOS 5.2, but could not find mysql and lighttpd scripts in /etc/init.d. Also there is no /usr/bin/mysql_install_db. Where can I find mysql and lighttpd scripts for starting the processes in init.d? Thank you. Jim

Desktop: Evolution & Bug Buddy issues (GNOME)
by Lanny Marcus 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Is this issue in the CentOS Bugzilla or Upstream Bugzilla? I use a fully updated CentOS 5.2 box. Frequently, when I close Evolution, I get a message from Bug Buddy, the Bug Reporting Tool, that Calendar has crashed. I do not use the Calendar Application. I use Evolution for email and contacts. Then, when I try to send the information, I get an error message: Bug Buddy has encountered an error while submitting your report to the Bugzilla server. Details of the error are included below. The fault code returned by Bugzilla is not recognized. Please report the following information to bugzilla.gnome.org manually: 999:please_try_with_newer_gnome I also have KDE installed (rarely used, but it's there) and during some very brief use, with KDE, the Evolution Calendar Application also crashed, so it is not limited to GNOME. I did not have this issue, before the recent upgrade to CentOS 5.2.

Getting something into centosplus for 5.2?
by Ian Forde 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

I've got a USB to serial adapter that I picked up from Radio Shack earlier this year. The updated pl2303 driver is already in the mainstream kernel as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429652 but I'm not getting much traction from Red Hat as far as them updating the kernel. So every time there's an updated kernel, I have to rebuild the srpm. I figure that this is the kind of situation that -plus is meant to solve... I've already had to switch one of my boxes over to plus today given that the video4linux srpm (from atrpms) won't rebuild easily on 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5, and I'm thinking that having both on plus with everything I need in them would make it a lot easier... (There's already precedent here... I found linux-2.6.18-bz443853_powernow_null_deref.patch and linux-2.6.18-bz444759_hi_iowait.patch in the srpm...) Thanks for reading... -I
