Problem after crash during yum update
by Alfred von Campe 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I was doing a "yum -y update" on a CentOS 4.5 system to get to 4.6 when my system froze. I couldn't ping it nor switch to an alternate console. It was completely frozen. The only recourse was to cycle the power. So I did that, and now when I try to do a "yum update" I get the following error: [many package header downloads deleted] tkinter-2.3.4-14.4.el4_6. 100% |=========================| 21 kB 00:00 ---> Package tkinter.i386 0:2.3.4-14.4.el4_6.1 set to be updated ---> Downloading header for oprofile to pack into transaction set. oprofile-0.8.1-33.i386.rp 100% |=========================| 20 kB 00:00 ---> Package oprofile.i386 0:0.8.1-33 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Conflict: python-devel conflicts python < 2.3.4-14.4.el4_6.1 --> Processing Dependency: kdebase = 6:3.3.1-6.el4 for package: kdebase-devel --> Processing Dependency: httpd = 2.0.52-32.3.ent.centos4 for package: httpd-manual --> Processing Dependency: xorg-x11-devel = 6.8.2-1.EL.31 for package: xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel --> Processing Dependency: rpm = 4.3.3-22_nonptl for package: rpm-build --> Processing Dependency: xorg-x11-deprecated-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.31 for package: xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel --> Processing Dependency: httpd = 2.0.52-32.3.ent.centos4 for package: httpd-suexec --> Processing Dependency: rpm = 4.3.3-22_nonptl for package: rpm-devel --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: python-devel conflicts with python < 2.3.4-14.4.el4_6.1 Error: Missing Dependency: kdebase = 6:3.3.1-6.el4 is needed by package kdebase-devel Error: Missing Dependency: httpd = 2.0.52-32.3.ent.centos4 is needed by package httpd-manual Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-devel = 6.8.2-1.EL.31 is needed by package xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel Error: Missing Dependency: rpm = 4.3.3-22_nonptl is needed by package rpm-build Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-deprecated-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.31 is needed by package xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel Error: Missing Dependency: httpd = 2.0.52-32.3.ent.centos4 is needed by package httpd-suexec Error: Missing Dependency: rpm = 4.3.3-22_nonptl is needed by package rpm-devel From the attached log file, you can see that yum was able to install/ update 120 packages before it crashed. Any ideas on how to recover from this state? Alfred

Resizing a Xen DomU disk image
by Matthew Lind 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hello Mailing List! A quick question. Has anyone gotten a resize (in my case grown) a Xen DomU disk image? Here is the procedure I have followed: 1. Install a DomU using virt-install Customize xvda to be all one partition ext3 2. On Dom0: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1G count=1 >> <my_disk_image> ll -h (Image is now 1GB larger) xm create <DomU> On DomU: df -h (Size has not changed) shutdown -h now On Dom0: e2fsck -f <my_disk_image> (Errors Bad Magic...) resize2fs -f <my_disk_image> (Errors Bad Magic...) xm create <DomU> On DomU: df -h (Still reports old size) I am assuming that because resize2fs didn't run that the DomU doesn't know about the additional space. Thanks in advance!

Getting email from cron when script is run manually
by Jeff Larsen 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

We have some third party software running on a CentOS 4.5 virtual machine. The software is delivered as compiled python and I wrote an init script for it myself (/etc/init.d/gk). Because the software lacks the usual robustness of CentOS services, I have a bash script (/etc/cron.daily/gk-restart) which simply calls "/etc/init.d/gk restart". So, as expected, root gets an email every day when cron runs the script. Here's the puzzling part: If I need to manually restart the service, I will use the command "/etc/init.d/gk restart". But then I get the very same email message from the cron daemon as if the daily cron job had been run automatically. The email is timestamped for the time at which I manually restarted the service. How on earth is the manual restart being monitored by the cron daemon? The init script is full featured and maintains pid and lock files in /var/run and /var/lock/subsys respectively. Is that the connection? Jeff

If you rename your 5.0 DVD to the 5.1 version and do an rsync it will save lots of bandwidth. -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada Fl_TeacherTool http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/ C++ GUI tutorial http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/

Screen blanking crashes
by centos＠911networks.com 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi, I upgraded a Dell C521 from Ubuntu 6.04 to CentOS5.1. The Dell has an NVidia 6150 analog video card. The screen is an LG1952Tx. After the screen blanking goes on, and the screen goes to sleep, the screen goes black except for a blue note saying: analog video, invalid frequency... I have installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1. Everything works great except for the screen sleep... Any suggestion of what I should look for? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

I have been searching the net for directions on rhel and centos 5(1) to log in to a windows domain and have found many examples, all different and none work for me. Is there a hint to some documentation anyone here knows of that actually works? Thanks! jlc
