yum: removing Java group fails
by Kai Schaetzl 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I did a "yum groupremove Java" and that failed "somehow". Yum listed all group members as "erased", but some rpm packages failed because of missing config files or so. As a result none of the 50 packages were removed from the rpm database, but all of their files seem to have been removed. How can I clean them out from the rpm db?

NTFS-3G Support for CentOS 5.1 Live
by Mark Rose 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I have been trying to mount my NTFS hard disk using the CentOS 5.1 Live USB pendrive I created from the LiveCD. I did an "fdisk-l" and see the partition as /dev/sdb1, but when I try to mount it, I get an error stating that NTFS is an unknown filesystem type. I attempted to install the ntfs-3g and fuse rpms, without any success (there were numerous dependancies and could not get libc to install).. Has anyone been able to successfully RW mount an NTFS filesystem using an USB install, if its even possible, that is? If not, are there any plans to include NTFS-3G support in the next release of the Live CD? Thanks! Mark

Tape Drive and Bacula issue
by Joseph L. Casale 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I posted this in the Bacula list without success so I hope I might have some luck here. Btape and mt can access my DDS-3 Seagate Archive Python 06480-xxx tape drive but Bacula tray-mon ends up finally stating that it cannot open device /dev/nst0? That is the device string that I use to access the drive, oddly enough it also suggest the SD could not open the one file based storage location I have either, yet I can Label new media and I see it appears in the directory? I installed from RPM's. Anyone got any ideas or pointers they could suggest? Thanks! jlc

AltGr over vnc not working
by Kai Schaetzl 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

I notice that when I connect from a Windows VNC client (any VNC distribution it seems) to the Centos desktop (Gnome) I cannot send AltGr key combinations. The vncserver on the CentOS side is vino from Gnome. I cannot check if the same happens when connecting from a CentOS machine to a CentOS machine, but it looks more like Gnome simply ignores AltGr when sent over VNC. Why would it do this? Where might I be able to change this? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Rejecting valid mail (including this mailing list)
by Sam Drinkard 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Recently, I added the below line to my sendmail.mc and rebuilt. Everything was working just fine until sometime today. In looking over the maillog, it seems if almost every piece of mail was rejected because of this configuration - mail that I know is OK, valid, and not a source of spam, like tamu.edu. Not only that, but the mailing list from centos was being rejected as well. Anyone know what might be happening? One link I ran across said that ordb.org went out of business or stopped their service in Dec of '06. If that's the case, why is their info still being listed in some of the sendmail configs, and others still advertising it's use. dnl # FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', `"550 Email rejected due to sending server misconfiguration - see http://www.ordb.org/faq/\#why_rejected"')dnl Sam

Re: News Groups (local) mirrored with mailinglists
by David Hláčik 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi, i want to know - how synchronization mailinglist <----> news works . I can set a name of a news group for mailinglist in mailman. Is it all that is necessary to do? I do understand one way - from mailman to news server, but what about the other side? How can i achieve it? Hope it is understable ... Mailman + INN My next question talks about INN f and pam authentification (pam ldap). Am i able to configure access to particular groups for particular users? (like user joe will have acces to com.disc and com.dad , and user ivan will have access only to com.disc ) ? Thanks in advance!

Frustration with yum

I suppose it's more of a frustration with myself, but can some kind soul please help me with the procedure to tell yum a package is in fact installed?

I even went so far as to do an erase of both, and both times, yum shows them as being installed. Of course I did not erase them, but if it finds them to be installed, why does it say they are missing during an update attempt? I'm off the digest currently, so I can more quickly respond with further info if needed. Thanks.. Sam
