Screensaver flashing instead of normal function
by Mark Hull-Richter 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

I rebooted my machine this morning and now instead of running normally, my GLMatrix screen saver flashes as it repaints the screen, more and more noticeably as the screen fills up with glyphs. I didn't change ANYTHING and this was not happening before the boot. Anyone have any ideas why this might be? Thanks.

Re: nvidia drivers
by Ioannis Vranos 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

I have been using atrpms repository with much success installing the latest NVIDIA drivers and other stable software, both in CentOS 5 and SL 4. Currently in my CentOS 5.0 box I have installed these from atrpms: [john@localhost download]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia nvidia-graphics-devices-1.0-5.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-devel-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics-helpers-0.0.18-19.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-libs-1.0_9755-86.el5.at [john@localhost download]$

smartd stalls the system on reboot
by Mark Hull-Richter 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

I have begun to notice that the smartd stalls my machine's boot process for as much as 2-3 minutes while it is coming up. I have the BIOS SMART function enabled, and I removed the bad SG400GB drive from the box yesterday, but I think this goes back farther than that. Why does it take so long? Is the BIOS SMART involved in this (and how)? Also, sendmail and sm-client take 30s-2m to come up as well (not always, but usually). Config: CentOS 4.4 Plus (2.6.9-42.0.10 kernel) AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ ECS NFORCE4M-A m/b 2GB OCZ DDR2 800 (PC6400) ram 160MB + 120MB Maxtor PATA drives (160 is the boot drive) 300GB Seagate SATA drive (/boot and / are here) geFORCE7100sg (nVidia) PCI-E x16 video card Minolta QMS PagePro 1100 laser printer on /dev/lp0 Thanks.

CentOS 5 and Xen
by Fong Vang 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

I'm now running CentOS 5 with about 10 domU's. RH/CentOS did a great job providing a polished and stable distribution for Xen. Excellent work! I would like to now play with using iptables and ipvadm (LVS) in the domUs. So essentially, what I want to do is to utilize a domU to run as a NAT/Firewall which directs traffic to another domU running ipvsadm (LVS). The LVS would then redirect, based on the policy, traffic to the other domUs. Essentially, all traffic into the domU must passed through a domU acting as a firewall which then forwards

selinux problem with squid and snmp_port in centos 5
by net foss 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Hi all, Just want to enable squid's SNMP support to get information about its perfomance through snmp client. I set "snmp_port 3401" in squid.conf SELinux is in enforcing state with targeted policy. But squid daemon doesn't start. There are some messages in audit.log like type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1176946812.492:244): arch=40000003 syscall=102 success=no exit=-13 a0=2 a1=bf880060 a2=81109f0 a3=bf88007c items=0 ppid=15684 pid=15705 auid=500 uid=23 gid=23 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=23 sgid=23 fsgid=23 tty=(none) comm="squid" exe="/usr/sbin/squid" subj=user_u:system_r:squid_t:s0 key=(null) Note that squid can run if I make one of two following changes 1) switch selinux to permissive (setenfoce 0), and keep snmp_port 3401 in squid.conf 2) keep selinux in enforcing state, and disable snmp_port in squid.conf This problem happens in CentOS 5. The same configuration (i.e. selinux enforcing, and snmp_port 3401) works well in 4.4. Any hint to solve the problem is appreciated. -- NetFOSS netfoss(a)gmail.com

WPA Radius wireless authentication and CentOS 5
by David G. Miller 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

I previously had WPA radius authentication working from my laptop to my home network with the laptop running Fedora Core 6 and the server running freeRadius under CentOS 4.4 (freeradius-1.0.1-3.RHEL4.3). I'm attempting to move my FC 6 boxes to CentOS 5 so I decided to pick on the laptop first. Unfortunately, I neglected to backup /etc before doing the CentOS 5 install (bad Dave, bad Dave) so I don't have my previously working configuration for reference. I attempted to follow the instructions at: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8017 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8095 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8151 that I had previously used to get the laptop authenticating with FC6. All I can ever get the radius server to spew is: ... (lots of normal looking stuff) ... rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type EAP auth: type "EAP" Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authenticate for request 1 rlm_eap: Request found, released from the list rlm_eap: EAP NAK rlm_eap: NAK asked for bad type 0 rlm_eap: Failed in EAP select modcall[authenticate]: module "eap" returns invalid for request 1 modcall: group authenticate returns invalid for request 1 auth: Failed to validate the user. Login incorrect: [spindle/<no User-Password attribute>] (from client Wireless-client port 4 cli 00904bac8f67) Delaying request 1 for 1 seconds Finished request 1 Going to the next request ... As per the referenced articles, for the client I have cert.pem as the certificate file, key.pem as the key file, keycert.pem as the combined key and certificate file and ca.pem as the server certificate file. I've tried all the combinations of the certificate and key files I can think of through NetworkManager and the best I get is the above NAK. Everything works with either an open AP (*REALLY* bad idea) or using WPA with a pre-shared key. I'd like to get WPA radius working again. Any suggestions (other articles to follow, a howto, how to get free radius to tell me what's wrong, whatever) would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave -- Politics, n.

JPackage, Java 1.5.0, and CentOS 5?
by Benjamin J. Weiss 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hey, y'all. I don't know how many folks here are familiar with a blogging program called 'pebble' http://pebble.sourceforge.net, but it's *supposed* to be an easy drop-in to a tomcat5 container. I suppose that it is, once I figured out how to get tomcat 5 working in CentOS 5, but I'm still having problems with the java. CentOS comes with Java 1.4.2, but I need Java 1.5 in order to run pebble. I've tried to use jpackage by downloading the jpackage.repo and doing yum searches, but it looks like jpackage doesn't have RHEL 5 support. I tried downloading and installing the SDK from Sun, but I must have done that wrong because it broke a lot of other things. Has anybody got any ideas? Thanks! Ben

Mime Type in Nautilus
by Bernard Lheureux 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hi All... Could someone guide me to solve a strange behaviour of Nautilus, when I want to click on a JPEG file that has a .jpg extension I receive this message and eod refuses to launch: >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-8<-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Cannot open Cactus -'Ot 'N' Sweaty(1972)_back.jpg The filename "Cactus -'Ot 'N' Sweaty(1972)_back.jpg" indicates that this file is of type "jpg document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "JPEG image". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "JPEG image", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file. >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-8<-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In the pas, my machine was running in FC4 and everything worked correctly, now it refuses to open this kind of files unless I rename it to .jpeg extension... Thanks if you can guide me on how to solve this to open eog to view this type of file...
