Upgrading from RH 9
by Zyxian 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Howdy. I've got a RH 9 server that has a 60 gig hard drive in it. I'm gonna replace it with a 100 gig and install CentOS 4.4. Can I just copy the password files, home directories, config files, etc. or does it need to be done some other way? Thanks

I like to keep my mails, additional to my privat I am following several mailing list, separated, so the quota is way to small. I feel like the best for me is to move my domain here, setting up my own server. I have been using djbdn and qmail earlier, but would like to change to something more standard, I should manage though, but I am a little afraid of the work load setting things up. So my question at the moment boils down to, witch supplier of dynamic dns service to use, that also mx forward without to many restrictions. Thanks Kai

I'm seeing grep break when I grep large numbers of gzip files in /var/log. Posted bug on bugzilla. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205534 Description of problem: grep errors with: --- *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): *** Aborted. --- when doing recursive grep in /var/log, other places. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp 0x86_64, Linux 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp i686 How reproducible: Consistently on i686 and x86_64 boxes Centos4.4. Recently upgraded from CentOS 4.3 to 4.4. I have large /var/log directories with plenty of gzipped logs. Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /var/log 2. grep -ri "Check Spelling & Mumble" * 3. (or) grep -ri "Check Spelling & Mumble" *gz Actual results: Fails with: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): *** Aborted.

DAR - Disk ARchive packaged for CentOS?
by J.J. Garcia 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hi folks, I was searching for a backup tool simple and easy to use from command line to backup on DVD certain disks, even the whole OS. I was using mondoarchive almost succesfully but recently found what i think i was needing, it's called DAR (http://dar.linux.free.fr/) - i think im not the first that uses it - anyway, after searching for it already packaged for CentOS/RHEL/Fedora, i didn't find it. It's already packaged for debian, madrake, openSuSe, etc.. but i think there's not a pkg for RHEL systems. If somebody knows where i can find it i would appreciate it, or even if it's possible to include it in CentosPlus repo, TIA Jose.

yum: could not load sqlite, falling back to pickle
by Daniel Senie 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

After cleaning up the issues with yum consuming the machine by allocating memory until it croaked (versioning issue with sqlite), and with the machine now stable and fully updated, I happened to notice this message at the start of yum runs: # yum check-update Warning, could not load sqlite, falling back to pickle Is this expected, or indication of a further problem? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie dts(a)senie.com Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com "George Orwell was only off by 20 years.

Just wondering if anyone out there is using sudo across a bunch of machines and has a system/script for painlessly distributing a master sudoers file? is it as easy as a daily cronjob running wget/scp/rsync?

Radeon 9000 breaks with CentOS 4.4
by Barry Brimer 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Dell Inspiron 600M w/ Radeon 9000 card. This worked with CentOS 4.3, also works with Knoppix 4.0.2. Graphical installation succeeds, but upon reboot, and all subsequent rebbots, graphical mode does not work, the screen becomes black. In addition to the 2.6.9-42 kernel, we have also tried the 2.6.9-42.0.2 kernel. Same problem exists on both kernel. Running system-config-display --reconfig exits with the error "fatal IO error 104" Connection reset by peer. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Barry

OT: DVB-T TV on CentOS 4.4
by Timothy Kesten 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hi Folks, is a question special to centos-user in germany I think. I use centos on a desktop-system (yes, I know that centos is special for servers) and I watch TV with an anaolg card. The qualitiy is not so high. Now, I'm planning the use of an DVB-T Adapter. My question: There are any experience or knowing problems with these kind of adapters and centos? And which Adapter is recommendable? Thx Timothy
