problems building appletalk module with new kernel
by Craig White 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

I've been doing this on CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 but after installing 2.6.18-53.1.4el kernel, I'm having a bit of a struggle... # make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/build \ SUBDIRS=/usr/src/appletalk modules make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686' CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/aarp.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/ddp.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/dev.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/atalk_proc.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/sysctl_net_atalk.o LD [M] /usr/src/appletalk/appletalk.o Building modules, stage 2.

hi, Just want to wish everyone a happy holiday season and a good new year ahead. Its been a great year for CentOS and for everyone involved with it including the developers, supporters, contributors, editors, bug reporters, everyone. You all know who you are. And I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the time and efforts that you have put into the project. 2008 will be bigger, better, noisier and even more fun! Enjoy. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Prelink: Something's happening here
by Benjamin Smith 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Can anybody explain to me what's going on here? This is a CentOS 4 i386 system. [root@edison ~]# rm -f /etc/prelink.cache [root@edison ~]# /etc/cron.daily/prelink [root@edison ~]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/sqlite3 sqlite-3.3.6-2 [root@edison ~]# rpm --verify sqlite prelink: /usr/bin/sqlite3: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# rpm -q --dump sqlite | grep "bin/sqlite3" /usr/bin/sqlite3 29044 1178360479 70e7158185e01e23dd2a62fa00f0f752 0100755 root root 0 0 0 X [root@edison ~]# md5sum /usr/bin/sqlite3 6e4b1dc7b0b5ade26448ed700c33e05f /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# prelink -u /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# md5sum /usr/bin/sqlite3 70e7158185e01e23dd2a62fa00f0f752 /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison ~]# rpm --verify sqlite [root@edison ~]# prelink -f /usr/bin/sqlite3 prelink: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.4: .debug_loc adjusting unfinished [root@edison etc]# md5sum /usr/bin/sqlite3 70e7158185e01e23dd2a62fa00f0f752 /usr/bin/sqlite3 [root@edison etc]# How did the RPM database have the right values for the sqlite3 file before prelink was run? Or, another way, why was the file different in the first place, that running prelink against it fixed it? And if "undoing" the prelink changed something, why wasn't it "changed back" when I ran prelink against the sqlite3 file the second time? Finding this confusing as H__L. I have *alot* of files on this system with this issue - I discovered this while debugging a problem with MailScanner. And, why do I see similar behavior on another system that's freshly built? EG: just ran the installer and "yum update" and see the same issue with a smaller number of files? -Ben -- Only those who reach toward a goal are likely to achieve it. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

"yum --security" and staying with 5.0
by Amos Shapira 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Hello, So I've watched a few threads about the new 5.0 vs. 5.1 upgrade and have a couple of (hopefully) practical questions about this: Context - I'd like to stick to 5.0 at least for a while until the dust around 5.1 settles down (and I'm back from holidays). As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to "stable" I can be sure that the only updates I receive there are for heavily tested very important bugs and security issues, so I should generally apply them. 1. If I read the FAQ correctly, in order to force yum to stay with 5.0 should I just manually edit /etc/redhat-release from: CentOS release 5 (Final) to: CentOS release 5.0 (Final) (i.e. add ".0" to the version)? If not then what should I do? 2. I am hoping that yum-security will allow me to stick to the latest security updates for 5.0 without forcing me to upgrade to 5.1 until the dust settles down. Am I correct that this is possible with yum-security and the repositories provided by CentOS? Will "yum update --security" update packages with later versions only if those versions fix security issues? Are security updates maintained for 5.0? Here is what I get right now on one of my systems (without doing the change I asked about in (1)): # yum --security list updates Loading "security" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Limiting package lists to security relevant ones No packages needed, for security, 196 available If I drop the "--security" flag I indeed get a list of196 packages to upgrade. So to clarify my question - is my system secure (in terms of package versions) by sticking to "yum update --security"? Thanks, --Amos

Debug symbols for CentOS server
by Tom Laramee 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

is there a repository of build symbols for the various packages i have installed on my CentOS 5 server? here's a use case - i'm developing an apache/httpd plugin module - it's not loading properly - i want to run apache in single-process mode (httpd -X), attach gdb to it, set a break point just before my module is loaded, and step through the code to find out why my module is not being loaded properly. ideally, i could do something like so: yum install httpd-symbols (same question for any/all packages on my server, not just httpd). thanks --tom

Creating a local repo
by Joseph L. Casale 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

I have created a local repo, set its priority highest, and populated it with xen-3.1.0-1.i386.rpm and kernel-xen-2.6.18-3.1.0.i386.rpm yet when I do a yum list *xen* I don't see those rpm's? Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks! jlc

CentOS-5 Need Help With Serial Ports
by James B. Byrne 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

I have been struggling with setting up two serial ports on an HP/Compaq D512S (Intel P4) under CentOS-5. I am not at all sure why these things were not auto-configured when I initially installed the CentOS system from CDs but they were not. I have found various resources on the web and from them uncovered the setserial utility. What I need from somebody is guidance on how to use this utility to properly configure the ports. Currently in /dev/ I have: crw------- 1 uucp uucp 4, 64 Dec 21 12:14 ttyS0 crw------- 1 root root 4, 65 Dec 20 17:36 ttyS1 crw------- 1 root root 4, 66 Dec 20 17:36 ttyS2 crw------- 1 root root 4, 67 Dec 20 17:36 ttyS3 When I run setserial -g ttyS* I get this: # setserial -g ttyS* Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument ttyS1: No such device or address ttyS2: No such device or address ttyS3: No such device or address Can someone walk me through this? I setup hylafax previously on our existing CentOS-4.5 server and never had this difficulty nor had to use setserial, so far as I can recall.

Update repo rsync but no new repodata?
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

I just did a manual resync of my local update repo from mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/updates/i386/ I got a new version of Thunderbird, but not a new set of files in the repodata directory. Thus when I did a yum update against my local repo, I did not get the new version of Thunderbird. I will note that the files on my local repo are dated Dec 20th and the ones on mirrors are dated Dec 21st. The command I am using is: #!/bin/sh rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/updates/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.1/updates/i386 Oh, and the old version of Thunderbird was not deleted....
