interactive bash v3 sessions and yank-last-arg
by Wojtek.Pilorz 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

The readline function yank-last-arg (normally called through M-. or M-_) in bash3 work somewhat differently than in older bash versions for commented lines: For example, if I run in bash echo 1 2 3 #echo a b c then Esc-2 Esc-. produces alarm on first try and '2' on second try; So I can recall commented history lines using Esc-p, but not the arguments using Esc-. In older versions yank-last-arg worked on commented lines as well, which was very handy. Does anyone know, how to enable that 'old' behaviour in bash?

Trouble with X and vnc-4.0-8.1.i386 on Centos 4.4
by Wojtek.Pilorz 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I have recently migrated from an old, RedHat Linux 9 - based system (Aurox 9.2) to Centos 4.4. I am having trouble with vnc causing X unusable until reboot. By unusable I mean that X screen is either blank or blinking and moving, which is not cured by X restart until reboot. My system is: Compaq EVO D510 SFF CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz RAM: 256 MB Video: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) X: X Window System Version 6.8.2, using KDE in runlevel 3 kernel: Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL (buildsvn@build-i386) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)) Monitor: Dell E176FP (LCD, resolution 1280x1024) Mouse: Compaq/Logitech PS/2 mouse with wheel The X driver used is i810 How I get into trouble: I connect to an NT 4.0 Workstation box running 800x600 resolution with vnc; my resolution is 1280x1024 so the letters are too small for me and I switch resolution to 1024x768 or 800x600 using Ctrl-Alt-+; When I move mouse pointer so it leaves vnc window (sometimes through bottom vnc window border, sometimes through right border) then screen starts blinking with the image displayed multiple times and moving. Whether the image is moving and how fast depends on mouse position (X coordinate) on the screen (the mouse cursor is not visible, btw). If I move mouse vertically, lower part of the screen is is black. If I turn on screen saver (which is analog clock) it is displayed perfectly well on both resolution I tried ( 1280x1024 and 1024x768). but when I go back to KDE the screen is again unusable. If I switch to a text console, text mode is perfectly well, too. OSD display from the monitor is OK and stable all the time. If I exit X and then start it again, the screen is either blank while in X, or blinking. (if I exit X through Ctrl-Alt-Backspace it was blank; if I exit X using KDE menus, and the start it again, it is sometimes blank, sometimes blinking). After CentOS is rebooted all is fine. If I do not change X resolution from the default 1280x1024, vnc work fine all the time. I do not see anything special in var/log/messages. On VT I started X from, I have a message (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz each time I switch from text console to X (or perhaps the other way), same whether X is working correctly or not. I have never had that kind of problem with old RHL9-based distribution. Has anyone seen such behaviour? I would appreciate any advice. (I will send more info is needed, perhaps /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?)

Systems hangs on boot
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi all, I've a AMD64 box with CentOS 4.4 and FreeBSD 6.1 installed. All worked fine until I installed webmin. Since webmin was installed, the system hangs during the boot process. Completely hangs: included the mouse, , no ctrl+alt+f(n) keycombo... The system hangs when try to load the webmin service, so I reboot with runlevel 1 and reconfigure the runlevel with chekconfig tool (I've deactivated the webmin service). And.. the systems works fine. Now (after 2/3 reboots) the systems shows the same problem, but in the HAL service. I've tried to work with FreeBS and everything works fine, so I rule out a hardware problem. -- Jordi Espasa Clofent PGP id 0xC5ABA76A #http://pgp.mit.edu/ FSF Associate Member id 4281 #http://www.fsf.org/

Under the kernel that came with CentOS (2.6.9) the controller works perfectly, it's only the 2.6.16 that comes with xen that produces trouble. Is there any more debug options I could activate to provide more details? I don't want to move away from xen although I've already tried (the) openvz (kernel), which works perfectly during high io load, but xen seems more sympathic to me. I hope this messy technical detail doesn't force me to change to a different product. Thanks for any more hints! ciao - Michael -- Michael Kress, kress(a)hal.saar.de http://www.michael-kress.de / http://kress.net P E N G U I N S A R E C O O L

DNS help: "unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL)"??
by Ajay Sharma 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Recently I'm getting these errors on my slave when adding new domains: Sep 26 13:48:27 hosting named[1668]: zone wholesaletvtime.com/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL) from master 207.218.174.4#53 The master/slave transfers work for the other 1000+ domains that I have, just not the handful of new ones that I just added after the CentOS 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade. I regenerated the rndc.conf file and added the control stuff to the /etc/named.conf file so 'rndc status' works on both machines. Does anyone have any ideas? --Ajay -- Satyajot (Ajay) Sharma REVShare System Administrator

If you look at /etc/crontab you'll see the run-parts language calling every script in the /etc/cron.daily|weekly|monthly directories. alex

sendmail maillog rotation on centos 4
by Michael Grinnell 27 Sep '06

Hi, I'm trying to figure out which process is rotating my maillog every Sunday at 4:03 am. This happens on all of my centos 4 boxes. AFAICT, logrotate is not running. This is from a fairly minimal install, so I'm assuming this is a default process. --- [root@penguin ~]# ls -l /var/log/maill* -rw------- 1 root root 230603836 Sep 27 16:30 /var/log/maillog -rw------- 1 root root 526100566 Sep 24 04:03 /var/log/maillog.1 -rw------- 1 root root 539020377 Sep 17 04:03 /var/log/maillog.2 -rw------- 1 root root 513822843 Sep 10 04:03 /var/log/maillog.3 -rw------- 1 root root 746455304 Sep 3 04:03 /var/log/maillog.4 [root@penguin ~]# crontab -l no crontab for root [root@penguin ~]# ls -l /var/spool/cron/ total 0 [root@penguin ~]# --- Thanks, Michael
