VooDoo3 = no joy
by Michael A. Peters 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

I posted this in the support forum but I suspect I may have better luck here. Old home built PC that has a 3dfx VooDoo3. When I tried installing CentOS 5 on it - the graphical installer would freeze just after starting X - but cli install worked just fine. The failing power supply on the old CRT finally completely died, so I bought a new Dell flat panel (1908FP) and hooked it up. With a new monitor that works, I decided to try X and got no joy - same symptom as the graphical install, completely frozen X display very shortly after starting the X server. The box isn't frozen, I can still ssh in - but keyboard/mouse are frozen (IE impossible to ctrl-alt-FN to switch to a virtual console). The X log in /var/log/ did not have anything that looked like an error - so I ran startx > foo.log 2>&1 and I did get what looks like some error messages - attached as text file. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I may see if I can replace the video card, I suspect finding a video card for this old style of AGP isn't going to be easy, so I'd prefer to have a solution to the VooDoo 3 issue. VooDoo 3 did work with X11 in Fedora Core 6 - the OS I ran before installing CentOS 5. CentOS install is up to date, only CentOS packages that have replaced by non CentOS packages are sox and php (and yes, I'm certain of that).

Hello All, I am wondering what methoreds are allowed for unzipping a zip file under CentOS 5? How would you do this also? I want to exact a file eo1.zip to /home/dev/www/processing/eo1.lst <-- is the file name which comes from the zip file. Thanks all for your help. Sincerely, Christopher

OpenMPI not compiled with Torque support
by James A. Peltier 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

The OpenMPI package that ships with CentOS 5.1 does not seem to be compiled with torque support. It does, however, seem to be compiled with gridengine and slurm support. Would it be possible to get this changed?

Xen Networking Issue with CentOS 5.1
by Joseph L. Casale 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

Hi, I tried this post on the Xen list first with no answer. I have 4 machines and 3 of which (all different) have no network access when booted into Xen. I tried using Fedora Core 8 and it produced the same results. Is it normal for the virbr0 interface to take an arbitrary IP? How does it decide what to use? An ifconfig when booted into Xen shows the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:4A:69:63 inet addr:192.168.5.30 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe4a:6963/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1763 (1.7 KiB) TX bytes:594 (594.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:336 (336.0 b) TX bytes:336 (336.0 b) peth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:21 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1943 (1.8 KiB) TX bytes:1314 (1.2 KiB) Interrupt:17 Base address:0x1400 vif0.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:594 (594.0 b) TX bytes:1763 (1.7 KiB) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b) xenbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1881 (1.8 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Thanks for any pointers! jlc

by Joseph L. Casale 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

I followed these instructions, http://egopoly.com/archives/2006/09/how_to_use_vnc.html to successfully connect to my centos 5.1 box. I assumed I could #chkconfig vncserver on to make this permananet but when I tried to #service vncserver start I got the message no desktop configured. Can anyone point me in the right direction to have vncserver run at startup? Thanks! jlc

workspace switcher
by Jerry Geis 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Hi all, I added the "workspace switcher" and I now have 4 virtual screens. When I do "vncviewer machine" works and shows me the current 1-4 display. however, I want to go directly to one of the 1-4 displays. when I do "vncviewer machine:1" it says "unable to connect to host" How do I get the displays 1-4 to accept the vnc connection? I have module vnc loaded in my xorg.conf file. Again vnc works into the machine but I want to go directly to one of the 4 available virtual screens. Thanks, Jerry

Hi guys; I'm having a problem with a new pc that has an Realtec ethernet device. Don't know why the driver is not loading and is not detected during installation process.

SELinux and rsync permission on /bin
by James B. Byrne 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

I am getting this error from the SELinux troubleshooter SELinux is preventing rsync (/usr/bin/rsync) "search" to bin (bin_t) I can fix this easily enough but I want to ask why is rsync searching /bin as a repository? Is this a bug in the program or is the default SELinux configuration wrong for rsync? Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Help with dump/restore
by Scott Ehrlich 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

So I recently installed an Overland Arcvault 12 tape library on a server to back up /var/log/ and /home. The server is an out-of-box RHEL 5 install, with all packages selected, in an isolated lan, with no package updates. Also, this is a live server that cannot be brought down for backups, and some files may be actively in use during the dump - just gotta live with it. Since I know EL5 and C5 are the same, and the level of support I get from RH is actually less effective and slower than resources such as this list, I'm looking here, first. Up to this point I was backing up to a USB-mounted external 1 TB hard drive. I was using a script containing: /sbin/dump -0v -z2 -f /media/usb_drive/dump0 /home I played with restore on that, and it tested fine. For the tape, I thought it would be nice to add /var/log (should have done it before, but didn't think of it...) Trying to adapt the knowledge to a tape library... /sbin/dump -0 -v -z2 -f /dev/nst0 /var/log /sbin/dump -0u -v -z2 -f /dev/nst0 /home I have a cron job that dumps the results to /var/log/dump.log, and a review of the log file claims all went well. Now for the restore... I just tried playing with different options of restore, but could not successfully restore anything. I ensured I was in a scratch area so as to hopefully not overwrite current files. What is the proper procedure for dumping and restoring now? Should I be dumping to /dev/nst0/dump? What restore commands would I use to recall a file? I'd like to keep things as simple as possible - people have suggested legato and amanda, but for now, I would think/hope dump and restore would work. Thanks. Scott
