i810/agpgart problem with X
by Tim Atkinson 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

Hi list, This is my first post to this list so be kind... :) I installed CentOS 3.3 on a Dell Optiplex GX110 over the weekend and found that when I try to start X, I get a problem with loading the agpgart module which causes X to crash out. I did a little poking around Red Hat's bugzilla for RHEL3 and found the following bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132935 You can get the full details by reading the page but essentially the problem exists in the default kernel in RHEL3U3 (and hence CentOS 3.3). Yesterday an errata was issued to release a new kernel which supposedly fixes the problem. Linkage is below: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-550.html As comfortable as I am with the shell, having my desktop able to run CentOS with X Windows would be much nicer. ;) I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had problems with i810 video cards and CentOS 3.3 and any experiences you may have with trying to get them working. Tim

httpd trademark issue -- here it is!
by Rick Graves 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

Hey, A "powered by RedHat" gif recently appeared on the bottom of the mirror monitor (mirmon) page: http://www.advanced-app.com.hk/caosity/ This appeared in place of the "powered by CentOS" gif that used to be there. The mirmon page is getting it from the icons directory under the default html directory. An Apache update in November put the new gif there in place of the CentOS gif. This was fixed in a httpd update early this month. This server is on a 28 day update lag. Just a few hours ago, yum automatically updated httpd to version httpd-0-2.0.46-44.ent.centos.1.i386.hdr which came into my master repository on November 19th HKT. Actually, a newer httpd version came in on December 3rd, httpd-0-2.0.46-44.ent.centos.2.i386.hdr Theoretically, the appearance of the more recent version should have blocked the installation of the prior version, but the logic in the lag mirror software needs refinement (it is not expecting a newer version to have a non-contiguous number component). I am away from the office. Could someone please let me know where I can grab the correct gif off some web site? Thanks, Rick

RE: [Centos] question about Webtraffic monitoring

Michiel, You don't need snmp built into PHP itself as you can use the net-snmp & net-snmp-utils packages. I must admit prior to my post I had not tried cacti on Centos (only on Slackware & FreeBSD) but since your email I have got in running. Just make sure you have met all the other requirmenets and you should be okay.

Getting Spam Assassin and Amavis working
by Benjamin J. Weiss 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Okay, y'all know that I've been working on a script to auto-setup an email server. (updated script at: http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/mail-server.sh ) I've been trying to get Spam Assassin to work correctly with amavisd and razor. To test, I've taken email from my current email server that has a score of 9 or more and tried emailing it to the new server, but it doesn't get flagged. I've made the configuration files and log files available at: http://www.wacs.us which is the server that I'm testing this whole thing on. Please let me know if you can see what I'm doing wrong. I'm about to give up on amavisd and just use spamc/spamd and clamd via procmail. Thanks! Ben

Issues/thoughts re CentOS-4
by John Newbigin 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

This is a list of issues for discussion for CentOS-4. Most of it is based on my experience from building/maintaining CentOS-2 and observing CentOS-3. I have not seen the CentOS-4 beta yet so I don't know if any of this is already done. If these have been discussed on IRC then perhaps someone could produce a shot summary of the outcomes....? * Just call it CentOS-4 not 4.1 etc. Too confusing and serves no real purpose * All modified rpm should use mezzanine or equiv. This makes it easier to track changes, build updates and generate a report on what has changed. * Modified rpm should have .c4.n added to the release - c4 = centos 4. (works well once the 4.1 is dropped) - .n = a number starting at 1. The spec only 0 does not scale if you need to make another spec only change. The changelog will tell you what has changed. * Mission: To stay as close to RedHat as possible Issues: some things need to be modified to support this. For example the cpu/memory restrictions will be removed(like in CentOS-3). Given that we are doing this, should we also lift other artificial constraints like installing on i386? If we start making changes, where do we draw the line? In CentOS-2 I have fixed some small 1 line bugs (mostly packaging issues) but this might be a contentious issue. What about a CentOS+ repo. for enhanced versions? * Issue: should the distro be self hosting? I think as long as the requirements are available from the addon/extras repos. then I don't think this is needed out of the box. Obviously the build environment needs to be well documented and reproducible. * Mission: Remove RedHat trademarks. Issues: should we replace all rh logos/icons or just the ones required by RedHat? I think if the file/words can be replaced then yes, but package names etc. should be left alone. * Issue: yum Don't ever auto-modify yum.conf. Too confusing. Invent a system for selecting/allocating a mirror. Users should always use a 3rd party mirror and not the main caosity mirrors. Issue: every mirror has different paths. We need to clean up all the symlinks and multi versions on the mirrors. (We need someone in change of the mirrors) * Issue: gpg key. This should be installed by default so the user does not have to find & import it. At a minimum it should be in /usr/share/doc/centos-release and work like a RedHat box. * Issue: release QA Before public release, a QA procedure should make sure that there are no obvious problems (like the comps issue of 3.3). * Idea: automatic patch building. It should be possible to build most patches without intervention. I don't know what the current systems in place are but if there were autobuilt unsigned patches available it would allow - testing of patches before they are 'officially' released - checking the progress if a patch Using an automatic system to apply CentOS specific modifications means that in some cases, the CentOS specific changes can also be autoapplied and the package build. Obviously before a package is officially released, someone needs to check that it is correct and works etc. John. -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.it.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin

I cannot rpm -e ANY postfix package, yum remove doesn't work either. Any ideas how to get around this error? Mike

3ware 9000 install
by aemadrid＠hyperxmedia.com 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

I'm trying to do a fresh install on a new server that has a 3ware 9000 controller. I followed the instructions on the 3ware manual and used a floppy with the drivers for RH WS3 (Update 2) but it doesn't work. After it asks me to load the disk it reads for a while and then it says it did not find any drivers that pertain to this system. I tried loading the 3w9xxx driver unsuccesfully, it does no recognize the drives. Has anybody succesfully installed Centos-3 on a server with a 3ware 9000 controller? How? I have another machine that does not have a raid controller (and I'm installing Centos right now) that I can use to ciompile the drivers or whatever is needed. Thanks in advance, Adrian Madrid ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
