Windows key works some times I boot, doesn't work others
by Nick Fenwick 11 May '08

11 May '08

Hi all, I run CentOS5.1 with all updates, and like to use metacity's keybindings (gconf-editor->/apps/metacity/global_keybindings and keybinding_commands) to set shortcut keys for xterm, nautilus, and the like, so <Mod4>x runs xterm and <Mod4>e runs nautilus, rather how Windows-XP keyboard shortcuts work. I always log on as 'neek', the only user other than 'root' that I use for user shells on this laptop. I've used a default Gnome desktop since fresh install about 4 months ago. I find that sometimes when I boot, the keybindings take effect, and sometimes when I boot, they do not. I reckon one of two things might be happening: - on some boots, the gconf configuration that I have set up fails to be loaded - on some boots, my windows key mapping somehow gets screwed, so that pressing it does not send a Mod4 keystroke to whatever recognises them I don't think the former is happening, because I can run gconf-editor as 'neek' and see my keybinding configuration even when the keybindings are not working, such as this morning. I suspect the latter, because I can press Mod4-x and get an 'x' character in places where I'd expect it to not give me an 'x', for example in an xterm pressing the key combination just sends an 'x' to the console, whereas alt-x does not. When the windows key is working as expected, I don't see an 'x' echo'd to the console. How can I investigate why my Windows key is not triggering the expected keybinding commands? TIA Nick

OT: YUM, RPM and PGP keys

A short time ago a message on this list referred to an OSS project called ledgersmb. I am having a deal of difficulty getting this installed and as the web page at www.ledgersmb.org yields a "page not found" error and the ledger-smb-users mailing list seems very lightly used I wonder if someone here could help me out? I have ploughed through all of the perl dependencies for ledgersmb v-1.2.13, thanks to Dag's repositories, but I have run up against a roadblock on this: Installing: ledgersmb noarch 1.2.13-1 ledgersmb-1.2.13-1.noarch.rpm 9.2 M Installing for dependencies: dialog i386 1.0.20051107-1.2.2 base 162 k perl-Smart-Comments noarch 1.0.3-1.el5.rf dag 23 k tetex i386 3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 updates 13 M tetex-latex i386 3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 updates 5.4 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 5 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 28 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 8da0af10 Public key for ledgersmb-1.2.13-1.noarch.rpm is not installed However, I believe that I have imported this key, at least I did this: # curl http://ledgersmb.org/files/ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg > ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 1048 100 1048 0 0 7494 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 # rpm --import ledgersmb.pub-key.gpg and yet I keep getting the same key not installed error: My questions are several. 1. Can one force the package to install regardless of the missing key; and, if so, exactly how is that done? 2. Is the key that I have imported the correct one? 3. Is there a command to list what keys rpm has imported? Thanks, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Intel ICH9R Raid5 Recovery
by Ruslan Sivak 10 May '08

10 May '08

I had a raid5 on an onboard Intel ICH9R chip under windows. Windows crashed, as it often does, and the array became degraded. At some point during the rebuild, I was doing some hardware maintanence and unplugged one of the drives, and forgot to plug it back in. When I booted up, the array came back as failed. I turned off the PC, plugged the drive back in and powered it back on, but the array stayed as failed. Is there a way to recover the data? I heard dmraid supports ich9r raid volumes, but I keep getting an error saying unsupported map state 2. I found out that dmraid doesnt' support raid 5 (at least not on a ICH9R chip). I heard about this patch: http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/, but I'm not sure how to apply it to a linux live cd. Does anyone have any idea? Is there maybe a way to reset the metadata to make the intel controller boot the array anyway? Russ

Recover ICH9R raid5
by Ruslan Sivak 10 May '08

10 May '08

I have a raid5 on an onboard ICH9R FAKERAID. I was booting into windows and windows crashed as it sometimes does, which put my array into a degraded step. At some point before the array finished rebuilding I unplugged one of the drives and forgot to plug it back in. When I booted up the system, it told me that the array was now failed. I plugged the drive back in, but the array stays as failed and offers me no option to repair it. I heard that dmraid supports ICH9R raid. Is there any way to get the data off of there? When I try to use dmraid of a knoppix live cd it complaints about an unsupported map state 0x2. I heard there was a patch http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/, but I'm not sure how to apply that to a LiveCD. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can recover the data? Maybe I can just change the metadata and force it to boot the array? Russ

disk partitioning - I'm missing something simple, I think
by Ray Leventhal 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all, Excuse the question as I'm sure those more experienced will find it simple. I've a CentOS5.1 box with six physical drives, two of which are used for nightly rsync backups. Contents of /etc/mtab, /etc/fstab, df and a brief narrative follow: ====================================================== # cat ./fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home/adminusers /home/adminusers ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 ====================================================== # cat ./mtab /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /home/adminusers ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0 ====================================================== # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 131G 4.7G 120G 4% / /dev/sdc1 271G 147G 111G 58% /home /dev/sdd1 271G 3.9G 253G 2% /home/adminusers /dev/sda1 99M 20M 74M 22% /boot tmpfs 442M 0 442M 0% /dev/shm ====================================================== Each night, in addition to our tape backup paradigm, an rsync script is run which mounts /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/sysinfo and copies system data from sda1 there. /dev/sdb1 is a 146GB drive. The script then mounts /dev/sde1 on /mnt/userdata for a copy of /home and /home/adminusers. /dev/sde1 is a wholly underutilized 300G drive. I'd like to move the contents of /home/adminusers from /dev/sdd1 to /dev/sdc1 and use that underutilized drive elsewhere. What's the least invasive way of doing this given the hardware and partitioning on my system? Thanks in advance, -Ray

can't get Tomcat5 to work on centos 5.1, how do I get it to work?
by Rudi Ahlers 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all A client of ours wants Tomcat 5 to be installed on a CentOS 5 server, I naturally just ran "yum -y install tomcat5 tomcat5-webapps tomcat5-admin-webapps" which installed it without any errors. Then I typed in service tomcat5 start, and tries to access it as such "lynx http://localhost:8080/" but keep on getting an error "connection refused" [root@vps06 /]# service tomcat5 start Starting tomcat5: lock file found but no process running for pid 19684, continuing [ OK ] I don't see any tomcat errors in /var/log/messages but get this: [root@vps06 /]# tail -f /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.sonuy1u1.so) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.sonuy1u1.so) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.sonuy1u1.so) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(libgcj.so.7rh) ...2 more Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Cannot create additional threads at java.lang.Thread.start(libgcj.so.7rh) at java.lang.Runtime.runShutdownHooks(libgcj.so.7rh) at java.lang.Runtime.exitNoChecks(libgcj.so.7rh) at java.lang.Runtime.exitNoChecksAccessor(libgcj.so.7rh) I don't know Tomcat at all.

rsync - set owner and group?
by Sean Carolan 09 May '08

09 May '08

Is there a way to force rsync to set a specific owner and group on destination files? I have managed to get the permissions set up the way I want, but the owner and group are still defaulting to a numeric id instead of the correct owner and group. I suppose I could add a manual "chown -R owner:group" at the end of my script, but was curious if rsync had this built in. Or maybe there is some ACL setting that will force the right owner and group on all new files. thanks Sean

[CSL #351425] perfctr-enabled C5 kernel anyone?
by David Thompson 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi all: We have a user who needs to do some work with PAPI, which requires the perfctr patch applied to the kernel proper. Before I do that work here, I wanted to ask the list if anyone knows of a repo where such kernels are available? Also, if anyone has gone down this route and has helpful hints, perspectives, horror stories, etc., I would covet that information also. Cheers and Thanks, Dave Thompson UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department
