Centos 4.x, gnome & key "repeating"
by Finnur Örn Guðmundsson 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Hi, I have a strange problem with Centos 4 (all kernels so far). When i am running gnome (havent tried KDE) and i go into a browser or even just a console window and type something a letter repeates it self 10-20 times (likeeeeee thhhhhhissssss). I can turn this of the the keyboard settings (repeating keys) but then i cant hold down backspace and so on ....I think this is some kind of software error but cant really figure it out :| My hardware is: Nvidia NFORCE4 chipset AMD X2 4200+ 2Gb Memory SATA harddrive SMP kernel (all of the Centos kernels seem to have this problem...havent tried the uni processor onces tho) I've also ran Fedora Core 4 & Fedora Core 5 on this box and have no problems there. Anyone knows a solution for this (except for turning off Repat Keys). Thanks, Finnur Guðmundsson

All, The CentOS Folding@Home team has cracked the top 10% of all the folding teams. We could use some more members that have CPU Cycles to spare :) Folding at Home is a great distributed computing program that is used to process items for medical research teams. It is similar to SETI at Home (if you are familiar with that). Here is info on Folding AT Home: http://folding.stanford.edu/ Here is information on Team CentOS: http://www.sharons.org.uk/cf.html Here are our current Team CentOS stats: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48721 Join the Fold :) Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Sendmail problem
by Thomas E Dukes 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Hello, I am having a problem with returned mail. I don't have something configured correctly. I have 6 virtual hosts on one machine and mail sent from these host is being returned. This is the transcript: The original message was received at Tue, 11 Apr 2006 07:30:19 -0400 from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <f5loar(a)charter.net> (reason: 553 #5.1.8 Domain of sender address <apache(a)localhost.localdomain> does not resolve) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mail.charter.net.: >>> MAIL From:<apache(a)localhost.localdomain> SIZE=1618 <<< 553 #5.1.8 Domain of sender address <apache(a)localhost.localdomain> does not resolve 501 5.6.0 Data format error I think this has something to with outgoing address mappings but not sure how to fix it. All virtual hosts are included in the local domains file. TIA

selfsigned ssl certificate
by D. Ivago 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Hello, I need to setup a secure ssl site but I'm using a FC3 howto wich is not compatibel anymore wwith Centos 4.2 Now I removed the standard crt.key and server.key files and used the make testcert script in /etc/httpd/conf to create a new one with the appropriate company name and such. But this certificate requires a passphrase everytime apache starts and I rather would like to remove this passphrase. Does anyone know a good quick and dirty howto for centos to create a selfsigned ssl certificate without a passphrase? Ivago

kernel: Page has mapping still set - continues
by Alan Sparks 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Been having this problem, and posted about it before. Thinking it was a memory issue, I've replaced all memory on the server. However, the problem has continued. Server is a Proliant DL380 (8GB RAM, 2 Xeon CPU), running CentOS 3.6, all patches up-to-date. Kernel is 2.4.21-40.ELsmp (problem seems to have first manifested on kernel 2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp). Disk is CCISS hardware RAID-5, straight partitioning (no LVM). This server runs an Oracle 10g instance, async I/O enabled to a NetApp filer where most data is stored. Traceback of latest failure follows (two crashes this morning). Anyone read these things well enough to tell me if there's any insight in this? There are no nVidia drivers loaded, only stock kernel modules. Thanks in advance for any insight. -Alan Apr 10 05:32:22 db01-01 kernel: page not mapped. erroring out. Apr 10 05:32:22 db01-01 kernel: Page has mapping still set. This is a serious situation. However if you Apr 10 05:32:22 db01-01 kernel: are using the NVidia binary only module please report this bug to Apr 10 05:32:22 db01-01 kernel: NVidia and not to the linux kernel mailinglist.

Is there an IMAP client that works on the command line but will output into MailDir format or failing that how reliable is converting from mbox to MailDir ? thanks

bootup error - undefined symbol: lvm_snprintf after yum update
by Bowie Bailey 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

This is an x86_64 system that I just updated from 4.2 to 4.3 (including the csgfs stuff). When I watch the bootup on the console, I see an error: lvm.static: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/liblvm2clusterlock.so: undefined symbol: lvm_snprintf This error comes immediately after the "Activating VGs" line, so it appears to be triggered by the vgchange command in the clvmd startup file. I have another, identically configured, server which I have not updated yet. This server does not give this error. Everything seems to be working fine, so is this something I need to worry about? -- Bowie

crond not starting on reboot since U7
by Ugo Bellavance 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Hi, Just updated a few servers to U7, and rebooted them. I found out that crond would not start at boot even if it is configured to: crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I have tested another reboot, same thing: I had to start crond manually. I don't see anything in the logs, and I don't have direct access to the console right now. Anyone seen the same thing?

mediawiki-1.4.7-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm requirements.
by Will McDonald 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Guys, I'm migrating an internal Mediawiki over to a new CentOS 4 system. The old server's running FC3 and has a tarball install, ideally I want to stick to properly packaged software as far as possible. [wmcdonald@willspc ~]$ yum deplist mediawiki Finding dependencies: Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files package: mediawiki.i386 1.4.7-1.2.el4.rf dependency: tetex-latex provider: tetex-latex.i386 2.0.2-22.EL4.7 dependency: tetex-dvips provider: tetex-dvips.i386 2.0.2-22.EL4.7 dependency: ImageMagick provider: ImageMagick.i386 6.0.7.1-14 dependency: mysql-server >= 3.2.0 provider: mysql-server.i386 4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 dependency: php >= 4.3.11 Unsatisfied dependency Looking at the RPMForge mediawiki package, it requires php >= 4.3.11 which isn't available either from RPMForge or CentOS 4 base. php-4.3.9-3.9 seems to be the latest. What's the best way to proceed here then? I noticed there are PHP5 packages in the centosplus repo, but those wouldn't be available to an RHEL system. Will.
