Re: [CentOS] question on cut
by Jeff Stacey 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

with /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log you would need to use echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f3 echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f1 *-> /home/silentm/log/file echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f2 *-> machine echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f3 *-> log HTH - Jeff >>> geisj(a)pagestation.com 9/2/2005 9:00 AM >>> I am trying to use cut to tell me the suffix of a file. for example: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1- I was expecting to get .log or log but I get the entire string echoed back. doing the opposite gave me what I expected: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1 gives me /home/silentm/log/file I am trying to find a way to test if the file ends in .log? How might I do that. Thanks, Jerry _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

system reboots after shutdown
by User Lists 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hi all, When i want to shutdown my laptop (the result is the same from command line as from gdm), screen gets blank, but computer restarts. APM is disabled (this laptop doesn't support it), and disabling ACPI is no solution, because it controls the fan. Kernel version is 2.6.9-11.EL and CPU is Pentium Centrino. Laptop is an AIRIS 840. I use different distros (ubuntu, debian and knoppix) to reproduce this problem without a result. How can I solve this problem?. Thank you for your help. __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis!

Building bacula RPM from Karanbir's repo
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hi all, Has anyone tried to rebuild bacula from the source RPM provided on Karanbir's CentOS yum repo? Every time I give it a go, I'm given this error during the configure stage: checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/BUILD/depkgs/mtx-1.2.17kes' make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/BUILD/depkgs/mtx-1.2.17kes' make: *** [mtx] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.1839 (%build) I've tried specifying the host type in the spec file itself by entering the following: --host=x86_64-centos-linux-gnu and --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu but neither have worked. This is my first go at building bacula, so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something: I just don't know what. Do I need to enter a macro in my .rpmmacros file? Currently: %_topdir %(echo "$HOME")/rpmbuild %_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp Is the spec file hosed? Something else entirely? Any help would be appreciated.

GUI Server settings not present
by Todd Cary 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I have installed the minimum and used yum and groupinstall to install "System Tools" "Web Server" yet the GUI Server Settings does not contain the Web server or Samba (Samba was installed with "yum install samba"); it just contains Services. Have I missed something here? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

[OT] 3Ware 9.2.1.1 firmware for 9000 series released
by Kirk Bocek 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Here are the version numbers I get after installing the 9.2.1.1 release: Model 9500S-4LP Firmware FE9X 2.08.00.003 Driver 2.26.03.019fw BIOS BE9X 2.03.01.052 Boot Loader BL9X 2.02.00.001 A bit confusing. I thought I saw a map of code set releases to various version numbers but I couldn't find it on 3Ware's site. On Sun, 28 Aug 2005 at 9:20am, Bryan J.

Can't mount FAT32 partition
by Dave Gutteridge 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS. I'm following the instructions on this page: http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php This is the line I put into /etc/fstab /dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0 And this is the error I get: [root@localhost mnt]# mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too many mounted file systems What is the cause of this error? For reference, this is the output of fsisk: [root@localhost mnt]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30020272128 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3649 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 3649 29310561 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Disk /dev/hdb: 30.7 GB, 30738677760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3737 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 3644 29270398+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 3645 3737 747022+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) Dave

[OT] DNS - asking for your opinion
by Simone 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hi list, I first apologise because this is really off topic, but I would really appreciate your opinion on this. I have had a very hard time configuring a DNS server to answer reverse dns queries, and I would like to have your opinion on my provider behaviour. We have 3 classless subnets and asked the provider to delegate reverse dns. They configured their server and emailed me all was fine but i it didn't work for one subnet, so I mailed back and they assure their side was all perfectly configured. I finally find out (spending lot of time and thanks to www.dnsstuff.com) that they configured 2 zones like 128/27.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa and one as 128-27.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa, so my server was not able to answer queries because I had all zones 128/27.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. As said before it is my first time configuring Bind and I am sure the more experienced would have notice and solved it quite soon, but still I wonder why to use different convention (without telling us) and even if this is correct (red the http://rfc.net/rfc2317.html and they always use "/" not "-" ). Hope I won't be banned from the list for this email...... Thanks for your time reading this Simone

Show ShutDown steps
by BRUCE STANLEY 01 Sep '05

Is there a way to make Centos 4.1 show you the shutdown steps it is executing without having to hit a key on the keyboard (such as in Fedora Core 2 or Red Hat 9)?

My CentOs 4.1 desktop starts to freez ( non-responsive) with 100% cpu usage
by mohamed yusuf 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

It starts to become a non-responsive from time to time with 100% cpu usage eventhough there is no applications running except a browser. I have been running centos 4 for the past 6 months without any problem with regular update. Now, I have to reboot whenever it shows signs of a non-response. It starts to exhibit this behaviour a cople of days ago. I could not figure it out the reason and need help. Is there any tools to troubleshoot this ? I have tried top, system monitor.. I have attache screen shoot of system monitor if it helps. Mohamed Yusuf __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca

'Many' packages installed - CentOS 4.1
by Tom Brown 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hi Installed my first CentOS box last night after coming from Whitebox - This is perhaps me being stupid but on install i opted for 'Custom' install as i prefer minimal and then build as i suit. I went through the list of things to install and removed everything apart from networking. Install happenned and tons of stull ended up being installed including X openoffice and the like - Why was that when i de-selected everything apart from networking? It was very much bloatware and not what i want on a server. thanks for any hints
