centos 4.5 deleting the top panel
by Jerry Geis 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

I can right click on the top panel and select "Delete Panel" on centos 4.5 however, is there a way to do that in a shell script? I was looking at gconf-editor under apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel but I dont see anything there about "dont show it at all". Thanks, Jerry

(On my box, a DVD works properly, all the time). I did #rpm -V gnome-mount and there was no output, so I believe gnome-mount is OK. If I boot that box, with the CentOS 5.0 install DVD in that drive, it comes up to the install screen, every time. There does not seem to be a problem with it mounting and reading the DVD, when it is booted. I am wondering if somehow I screwed up the file permissions or settings (running SELinux in Permissive mode and the Firewall, as on my box) that are in some file unknown to me. Thank you for writing! I get the Digest ML, and I just read your reply. Lanny

SELinux questions, upon restarting BIND
by Ray Leventhal 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi all, On my newly up-and-running nameserver (CentOS 5), I noticed the following alerts in /var/log/messages after restarting BIND. (lines inserted to aid in reading). As I'm new to SELinux, I'm hoping for some pointers on 1) if this is an issue which simply *must* be addressed, or if it's something I should live with, and 2) how to eliminate the warming messages without sacrificing SELinux protections. The system does not have X installed, so 'setroubleshoot' isn't an option (unless there's a text equivalent). Thanks in advance for any opinions/suggestions/enlightenments :) ~Ray ============================================= Aug 16 07:12:23 sunspot setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/named (named_t) "getattr" access to /dev/random (tmpfs_t).

yum update fails, cobbler check fails
by Karl R. Balsmeier 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi, I'm running Centos 5 on an IBM x3550 series server with kernel version 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP, dual xeon, 9GB ram system. When I run yum update, I get this error: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libevent-1.1a.so.1()(64bit) for package: nfs-utils --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libevent-1.1a.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package nfs-utils I could do a force past this, but was just curious if anyone else has run into this issue. The reason I ask is that I just installed RPMforge, cobbler, koan, and dnsmasq. 11 wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/x86_64/dag/RPMS/rpmforge-release-… 12 rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm 13 yum install cobbler 14 yum install koan 16 yum install dnsmasq 17 cobbler check -I get this error when running cobbler check: [root@localhost ~]# cobbler check Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/cobbler", line 18, in ? import cobbler.cobbler as app ImportError: No module named cobbler.cobbler Could these two symptoms relate to the same root cause? This happens to be the second server I have tried this on, with same results, on completely different hardware, different networks, so we know this isn't a driver or network issue. Anyhow, any advice is much appreciated, i'd love to roll out a more robust provisioning system, looks like am super close once past this error. -karl

Customizing locale settings in CentOS-4.5
by James B. Byrne 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

I am trying to determine how to customize the date and time display of system utilities and user programs using the locale settings. What I really want is some sort of utility program that does the same thing for CentOS as the Regions Settings Control Panel app. for MicroSoft Windows accomplishes, but I have no hope of seeing that. I have traced the login locale processing through /etc/profile /etc/profile.s/*.sh and ~/.bash_profile and have decided to work backwards from ~/.bash_profile. What I initially wish to accomplish is to set the date and time display (only) to iso-8601 format. I infer from what I have read that setting LC_TIME to "i18n.UTF-8" "should" accomplish this (presumably referring to /usr/share/i18n/locales/i18n). But when I add the following two lines to ~/.bash_profile I do not get any change to the date and time display in ls and further I get an error when I run locale saying that the language file could not be found. ~/.bash_profile ---> + LC_TIME='"i18n.UTF-8"' + export LC_TIME <--- After I do this and log back in then when I run locale I see this: # locale locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TIME="i18n.UTF-8" <---------- set as expected LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ALL= # # ll -d D* drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 12 09:05 Desktop # exit Note the error message regarding LC_ALL and the failure to change the date display. Without those two lines in ~/.bash_profile I get this instead: # locale LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ALL= # # ll -d D* drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 12 09:05 Desktop # The error message disappears. Can somebody tell me a.) what is going on? and b.) how does one customize just the date and time display using locales? As I am a digest subscriber, the favour of a direct copy of any reply to the list is requested. SIncerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Diskdump on a Logical Volume.
by Camron W. Fox 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Alle, I'm trying to setup diskdump on a FJ E7110 notebook. Disk partitions were auto configured, using /dev/hda1 for /boot and /dev/hda2 for VolGroup00 (LogVol00 (/) and LogVol01 (swap)). Can diskdump be configured to use the logical swap volume? When I try to do the setup, the following occurs: [root@HOST sysconfig]# service diskdump initialformat Formatting dump device: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01: skipped (swap device) [root@HOST sysconfig]# Any help would be appreciated.

Quotas not working over NFS?
by Christian Nygaard 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi I have a problem with displaying quotas on a NFS client running CentOS 5. It works fine in the sense that I can display the quota for a user when running the quota command as root, It does not work when running as a ordinary user as shown in the example below. What can be the cause of that? # quota exampleuser Disk quotas for user exampleuser (uid 4242): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace nfsserver:/example/home 1000 1000 1000 36428 0 0 exampleuser$ quota Disk quotas for user exampleuser (uid 4242): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace //Chris
