[OT] Red Hat binary compatibility, from Red Hat Linux 4.0 to Fedora Core 3 (and RHEL4) ...
by Bryan J. Smith 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

I wrote part of a FAQ last November, and if you're interested in the breakdown of GCC, GLibC and kernel adoption since Red Hat Linux 4.0, you'll want to read this: http://www.geocities.com/thebs413/RH-Distribution-FAQ-3.html I've been loosely working on a "Linux Configuration Management" book covering Red Hat distributions since. I might update this FAQ if I have time, although my priorities have been elsewhere as of late. -- Bryan J.

CentOS 4.1 x86_64 compiler segfaults
by Remco Barendse 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi list! I am running CentOS 4.1 x86_64 on an Athlon64. The box was installed only yesterday. Yesterday I was still able to compil stuff, yesterday even the tiniest and simplest programs fail to compile always with internal compiler error: Segmentation fault. For example: make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6 SUBDIRS=/tmp/bristuff-0.2.0-RC8n/qozap ZAP=-I/tmp/bristuff-0.2.0-RC8n/zaptel-1.0.9 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-11.EL-x86_64' CC [M] /tmp/bristuff-0.2.0-RC8n/qozap/qozap.o In file included from include/linux/types.h:13, from include/linux/kernel.h:13, from /tmp/bristuff-0.2.0-RC8n/qozap/qozap.c:13: include/linux/posix_types.h:41: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault The 'funny' thing is that the problem is in different modules for each program like: /usr/include/stdlib.h:757: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault include/linux/posix_types.h:41: internal compiler error: Segmentation /usr/include/gconv.h:72: internal compiler error: Any ideas as to what might be broken on the box? Thanks! Remco

Is there a way in CENTOS 4.1 to set up users with different default desktops so that they do not have to select it via the sessions selection on the login screen? Example: user1 default desktop login is Gnome user2 default desktop login is KDE etc....

nxsetup issue when gid is not specified
by Adrian Coman 17 Aug '05

Hi, I have freenx-0.4.4-1.centos4 and when trying to install it I get this error: [root@adi ~]# nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge Removing user nx ...done Removing session database ...done Removing logfile ...done Removing nx home directory ...done Removing configuration files ...done Setting up /etc/nxserver ...done Generating public/private dsa key pair. Your identification has been saved in /etc/nxserver/users.id_dsa. Your public key has been saved in /etc/nxserver/users.id_dsa.pub.

ReiserFS and CentOS
by sudo Yang 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

RedHat has stripped out support for ReiserFS in their enterprise Linux products. It appears the unsupported CentOS kernel supports ReiserFS. Doesn't anaconda and the kickstart boot kernel also need to be enhanced to support ReiserFS as well? thanks for any help.

preferences in used Compaq Proliant DL380 G1 vrs DL380 G2 etc
by Robert Hanson 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

greetings, for those of you in the know, may i have some assistance in helping to make better decisions in purchasing more used server toys to install CentOS on please? :-) in the Compaq Proliant Rackmount DL380 line, the one that looks like the older 1850R is called a G1 meaning Generation 1 right? and then the DL380 G2 is a redesign that is gray and just has 6 drive bays up front correct? besides processor speed, do most of you prefer the DL380 G1 over the DL380 G2 or vice versa? would you mind providing some extra info and experiences please so i and hopefully others can better make decisions now and in the future? things to get. things to stay away from? please be as verbose as necessary i certainly do not know it all, is there anything else i missed or that you would like the list to know, please share... thanks in advance and sincerest kind regards! - rh -- Robert Hanson Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net

[y] Where should I save this file ? [/root/nessus_compilation] Do you want to delete /tmp/nessus-installer.11739 ? [y] rpm -qv openssl shows: [root@asskicker em]# rpm -qv openssl openssl-0.9.7a-33.15 Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong or what I need to change to get this package to install?

redirect crond(pam_unix) syslog messages
by scott.list 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi guys: I could only find one answer for this topic via google, and the poster wasnt' sure if he was breaking something with his "fix". I there a way to redirect the cron session messages from syslog to a different log? i.e.: Aug 15 01:03:01 tn1 crond(pam_unix)[29303]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 15 01:03:07 tn1 crond(pam_unix)[29303]: session closed for user root I tried cron.none and crond.none (and the correspondine lines to put those in their own file) in syslog.conf but neither redirected. The other guys solution was: ===== I disabled the session line in /etc/pam.d/crond this line : session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth to this line : #session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth ===== But I'm not real comfortable with that. Anyone know? Thans, Scott

eth1: mismatched read page pointers 0 vs ff
by Francisco Neira 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I am a newcomer to CentOS and been lurking the list for a week or so. This morning I installed CentOS 4.1 on a Compaq Evo (Pentium IV, 512MB RAM) After the initial boot just after installing, the console if constantly filled with "eth1: mismatched read page pointers 0 vs ff". This message appears at least every 40 seconds. The same hardware was running RH9 and Ubuntu 5.0.4 without displaying any messages. I also STFW'ed but the information found is about old kernels :-/ Any comments about his subject will be highly appreciated. Regards, - -- Francisco Neira B.

RedHat changes to remove file system support
by Fong Vang 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Anyone knows what RedHat did to remove support for other journaling file systems such as XFS, ReiserFS, etc. (considering these are supported by Fedora which is what RHEL is based on)? Would it work to simply take the Anaconda code (or subsection of it) and simply substitute that for the Anaconda code in RHEL/CentOS?
