rpmforge-release install/rpm problem
by Kai Schaetzl 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

I wanted to install the rpmforge-release package on a new install and get the following. Do others have the same problem? b51:~ rpm -ivvvvvvvh http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge- release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm Retrieving http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6- 1.el5.rf.i386.rpm D: ... as /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.qQEt9n D: failed to open http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release -0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm: error: skipping http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release- 0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error D: May free Score board((nil)) wgetting this file and installing is fine.

by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jul '08

Has anyone got a Bluetooth PAN up and running? PAN::= Personal Area Network -> TCP/IP over bluetooth. If so how did you configure it? Like getting a ifcfg-pan0 or some such configured.

Anyone using TCP Connection Passing?
by Amos Shapira 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hello, We are looking at ways to improve our cluster fail-over and one thing that we wonder about is the possibility of passing tcp connections from the primary server to the secondary when the primary dies. I found tcpcp (http://tcpcp.sourceforge.net/) and tcpcp2 (http://tcpcp2.sourceforge.net/) but they seem to be inactive (last release was two years ago) and requires also changes in the application level. I though that I saw somewhere an implementation of the simple idea of having the secondary tracking the connections (sort of "shadowing" the primary) and when the primary disappears it can take over everything. e.g. the following points to some interesting links: http://archive.gscept.com/2006/dev/?p=266 Has anyone here got to implement something like this? Our platform is CentOS 5 x86_64. Thanks, --Amos

Root-filesystem remounts as read-only during 5.2 upgrade (system completely shoot)
by Bernhard Gschaider 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Judging from the frequency of my messages here one could think that I'm too stupid to upgrade a workstation to 5.2 (but the servers I've tried work without problem) OK. The problem: I've tried to upgrade a 5.1-x86_64-workstation to 5.2. During the upgrade immidiatly after (according to the /var/log/messages) upgrading the two (64 & 32-bit) libgcc-packages an EXT3-error occurs and the root-partition gets remounted in read-only-mode. Consequently ALL following package upgrades throw errors saying this or that can't be done because he can't write to /etc, /usr but in the end yum says everything is OK. (Side info: /var is on a different partition, so it is still writeable) At reboot the machine wants a manual fsck which throws a lot of errors. Then the machine reboots with with a lot of error messages (basically because it can't find /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (nothing a symlink can't fix). After that I try to fix things by manually upgrading the libgcc-packages (otherwise yum won'T run). "rpm -q" for selected packages shows that the majority of the packages is still in 5.1-state. Trying to "yum upgrade" again fail because the machine can't find any servers (but network functionality seems OK) So I try to reboot. And now the really strange thing happens: A simple "rpm -q rpm" says that no rpm is installed. Rebuilding the rpm-database doesn't help. So I'm a bit stuck here with a machine that is in limbo. My questions: what could have been the cause for this (the machine was working OK before that). The only thing I feel a little guilty about was deinstalling the nvidia-kernel-driver and not reboot, but this can't f### up the file-system, can it? Any suggestions what I can do to get the machine into a normal state again (apart from reinstall from scratch)

CentOS 5.2 vs. Intel 82801 AC'97 Audio
by MHR 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I have installed 5.2 on my work desktop and everything works perfectly EXCEPT the sound device. Here is the relevant lspci line: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) I tried looking in Google (might have been a bad search), but all I could find was to add acpi=on to my boot line in grub.conf, and that didn't do any good. The volume control shows muted and I can't enable it. What am I missing? Thanks. mhr

command for brand of monitor
by Jerry Geis 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Is there a linux command that would tell me what model of monitor is presently attached to my computer? Thought about automating different setups based on the monitor connected. X config files basically. Could be done with different kickstart files - but would like to not go there if I dont have to. Jerry

FF3 printing problem on Centos 4.x
by fred smith 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I'm using Centos 4.x (fully up to date) on a system at work. I have also been using firefox 2 (directly from mozilla.org) on it for a long time, and it tends to work just fine. yesterday I installed the new FF3 release. It works fine too, with one exception: The print dialog shows no printers! The print button is greyed out! There actually four or five printers defined on the system, and all other apps find them fine, including FF2. So far no one has replied to my query on the mozillazine forums. Anyone here got any suggestions I can try? Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ------------------------ ---- Do you not know? Have you not heard?

Centos 5.2 upgrade - urlopen error unknown url type: media
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

My first notebook upgrade: I repaired my old HP nc4010 (bought a new hinge on ebay) and realized this was the perfect way to test out the upgrade to 5.2 before doing it on my production notebook. First I updated to 'current' 5.1 (by current I mean I have not synced my 5.1 local repo since building my 5.2 repo). I had not used my nc4010 for a while and the kernel was at 2.6.18-53.1.13 (update took it to 1.21). Rebooted and system still working. I then pointed my CentOS-Base.repo to my 5.2 repo. I did a yum clean all then a yum update yum* rpm and below is what happened: ======================================================= [root@nc4010 yum.repos.d]# yum clean all Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cleaning up Everything [root@nc4010 yum.repos.d]# yum update yum* rpm Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Trying other mirror.
