Yum breaks after updating to CentOS 4.6
by Devraj Mukherjee 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hi everyone, Yum on one my CentOS systems has decided to stop functioning after an upgrade to CentOS 4.6. It's complaining about errors with Python-SQLite packages? Any ideas anyone? Here is what happens. [root@monk var]# yum search zaptel Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 102, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 545, in doCommands return self.search() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 1129, in search for (po, matched_value) in matching: File "__init__.py", line 1157, in searchGenerator File "sqlitesack.py", line 52, in returnSimple File "sqlitesack.py", line 273, in getPackageDetails File "sqlitesack.py", line 403, in db2class File "/var/tmp/python-sqlite-root//usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/sqlite/main.py", line 97, in __getattr__ AttributeError: LOCATION_BASE -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

Help with full and incremental dumps
by Scott Ehrlich 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

I have an Overland Arcvault 12 library with a full LTO3 magazine of 400/800 GB tapes. It is connected directly to the fileserver via a SCSI card/cable. The two main directories I want to back up are /var/log, which is on one filesystem, and /home, which is on another. There are _currently_ no databases to worry about, but there may be active users logged in and active jobs running. We'll just take our chances with what can be backed up. I've successfully run dump/restore to an external USB 1 TB hard drive as our backup device until the tape library arrived. Now, finding the appropriate dump and restore commands to throw into a script is the fun part. The first time will obviously produce a full backup of said directories to back up. Subsequent ones will be incremental. What should my dump lines look like for both full and subsequent incrementals? And, to test the backup and in case I need to retrieve a file, what should a respective restore line look like? Thanks much. Scott

MOre on buring ISOs
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Dec '07

So right now I have installed k3b on this notebook. I am using my Storix DVD/CDRW usb drive. I can read cds with it. Cannot burn CDs. First k3b suggests slowing down (from 8x to 4x). Then use TAO. Then it gave up. So I try cdrecord directly. -checkdrive finds some interesting things. Got to close the drive manually; cdrecord says it can't. then try a cdrecord -v dev=dev/scd0 sample.iso and if fails: cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults. cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

Can't connect to torrent tracker
by William L. Maltby 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Well, yesterday my 5.1 and 4.6 systems could connect to torrent.centos.org OK. Today neither system can connect. I can ping, but that's all. No changes were made to the firewall during this time. Any tips on debugging this? I successfully http downloaded all the ISO images from various mirrors this morning, so I think my net and firewall are OK. TIA -- Bill

Firewall builder - which rpm?
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

I need a decent, easy, firewall on Centos. This is for test systems, so I do not need a lot. For 'a lot', I use and Astaro firewall. I had used Firestarter once, but found out that it cannot handle routing between a public and private network. Basically saying this is impossible. Of course, if your private network is addressed per RFC 1918 (that I co-authored), I can understand the difficulty, but otherwise.... Anyway, I found firehol, but this is rather confusing. ( how do I define a service like for port 5903? What about UDP for RTP? How do I run the thing?) There have been people here mentioning Firewall Builder, and that seems be well documented, except which rpm I should grab for Centos 5. I am looking over at http://www.fwbuilder.org/ and http://www.fwbuilder.org/nightly_builds/build-329/ for rpms, but which one? fedora-c5 ? thanks.

Xen 3.1 install and xen-libs
by Joseph L. Casale 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

It appears that xen-libs-i386-3.0.3-41.el5.rpm is only compatible with xen 3.0.3. If I want to install 3.1, where do I find a compatible xen-libs rpm. What exactly is this for, there is no mention on the xen website of this requirement? Thanks! jlc

VIA C3 support for CentOS 5? (i586 kernel)
by Ray Van Dolson 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Hi all. Decided to upgrade an old Slackware 10 box I had. The box is running a VIA C3 processor and apparently doesn't support the cmov extension that most i686 processors do. As a result I cannot install CentOS 5. I discovered a few posts from way back in April: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-April/079352.html http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-April/079439.html Implying that an i586 version of the installer might be released. Was something along those lines ever done, or could it still be done? Or should I just stick with CentOS 4 for the time being? (I did try 'i586 text' on my netboot 5.1 CD) Thanks, Ray
