something like apt-cacher for yum
by Dmitry Melekhov 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hello! I need to download updates and install it on several servers. I don't want to mirror all packages just because traffic is expensive here. We use apt-cacher as specialized proxy for our ubuntu desktops, so we download packages only once. Is there similar tool for yum?

Is there a way to force regeneration of the weak-upgrades? I guess there should be a script that does or triggers this in the (new)kernel rpm. Thank you :-) -S -- Simen Thoresen, Dolphin ICS Systems Administration and Wulfkit Support

What's the pdf viewer that comes with CentOS 5? I can't seem to find xpdf any more. Thanks for any help. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.

I have just restructured my system (repartitioned the main disk to separate /home from /) and I am now getting this error when I try to log in as a non-root user: Your session only hasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessoions to see if you can fix this problem. I can log in via ssh or as root, but I don't know what to fix. Since I can log in via ssh, I am assuming that I have enough disk space (there's plenty everywhere), so I'm thinking a config problem, but what? Thanks. -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-680-3001 - fax

Compilation of kernel failed for CentOS 5
by Fong Vang 22 May '07

22 May '07

I downloaded the src rpm for CentOS 5 and tried to recompile it. It failed with the following message: + sh ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-8.el5-root /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5PAE/kernel/drivers/char/watchdog/pcwd_pci.ko CentOS gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `..' + mv -f /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-8.el5-root/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5PAE/kernel/drivers/char/watchdog/pcwd_pci.ko.signed /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-8.el5-root/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5PAE /kernel/drivers/char/watchdog/pcwd_pci.ko + for i in '`cat modnames`' + sh ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-8.el5-root /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5PAE/kernel/drivers/char/watchdog/alim7101_wdt.ko CentOS ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh: line 46: 13120 Segmentation fault gpg --no-greeting $KEYFLAGS -b $module.out error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89878 (%build) Is it segfaulting because it can't find the key to sign the module?

Apple hfs mounting help. OT maybe?
by Steve Campbell 22 May '07

22 May '07

I am running a CentOS 3 server with a kernel version -2.4.21-40. I typically use Webmin to accomplish mounting varied filesystems, but this one has me buffaloed. We have a Thecus N5400 that was mounted on a Mac and a ton of data was written to it. All of the data was placed in yearly folders with content-related folders below the yearly folders. When I mount this through Webmin as an smbfs mount, all I see are these files that look something like .Apple01 and some index files. (sorry this was done yesterday, I couldn't leave the network configured and in place to connect to the N5400, and don't remember exactly what it showed). So I assume this is the way the Mac wrote the filesystem. When I try to mount it as an Apple hfs, I get a message that the fs type is not supported by this kernel. Might anyone have a clue as to how I can get this mounted to show me the real data the way it looks on the Mac. All I really need to do is to change the mod recursively so that older yearly folders are read only. The web interface for the N5400 has this option, but it only works on the top level yearly folder and not the secondary folders below. Thanks for any help and I apologize for what could be OT. I guess it depends on how it is answered. Steve Campbell

Re: [CentOS] Vsftpd & Iscsi - fast enough
by Brent L. Bates 22 May '07

Hogwash! Never trust anything in a wiki. They can make up anything they like. With computers, it is always base 2 not 10. All your computer commands are going to give one base 2 numbers even disk drive space. Yes, the disk drive and probably tape drive manufactures are cheating you when they say MB as they mean base 10, but they know full well it is suppose to be base 2. It is like the monitor manufacturers who started measuring the plastic case and quoting that as the screen size. It is really a 15" monitor but with 2" of plastic, they call it 17".

font test does not go higher than 49 - centos 4 x86_64
by Jerry Geis 22 May '07

22 May '07

Below is a small script - ran by "wish -f file.tcl" When I run this script and move the slider bar at the bottom on centos 4 x86_64 I get increasing font sizes from 5 to 49. Anything 50 and after is all the same size. How do I get bigger fonts? THanks, Jerry -------------------------------------- proc updateText {args} { set text [.c1 find withtag text] foreach {name size type} [.c1 itemcget $text -font] {break} set font [list $name $::value $type] .c1 itemconfigure $text -font $font } set c [canvas .c1 -width 800 -height 600 -bg white] set s [scale .s1 -from 5 -to 200 -orient horizontal -var ::value -length 400] set text [$c create text 400 300 -text "Test" -anchor c -fill red -tag text -font Helvetica] trace variable ::value w updateText pack $c $s ------------------
