[CentOS] Can't get past the splash screen
Hi, I have a remote frontend (it's kept in the room which I don't have access) which is installed with CentOS 4 and Rocks . So, to use the desktop(Gnome) of the frontend I use the freenx + nomachine following the guide in http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=20topic_id=1640viewmode=threaded. It worked. Then, I intended to add user, but I couldn't create the home folder in /home/ for the new user. After browsing, I found that somebody mentioned it's because of the automounter/autofs. So, I played around, enabled and disabled the autofs, and yes, I could create the home folder for the new user. The problem is that, when I tried to log-in to the front end using nomachine (using root) again, I could only get as far as the splash screen of the CentOS. I tried to connect using the putty (terminal), and I could interact (issuing command to the terminal), but I couldn't use the Gnome anymore. So, why in the nomachine I could not pass the splash screen anymore ? Any solution ? Thanks.

[CentOS] 1333/8GB Intel motherboard for C5.1
Hi there, has anyone run into any Desktop/Workstation Intel brand motherboards that work with CentOS 5.1 (4.6/3.9 out of box compatibility is a very large plus) and work with the 1333MHZ cpus such as the 8400/9450 and accept 8GB of RAM? The closest we've found so far is the DG31PR which is alright but it has the limitation of 4GB of RAM and an unsupported Realtek NIC. The DQ35JO is also ok, but requires quite a bit of 'jostling' to get to work such as pci=nommconf and other tweaks, we need something that will work out of box, anyone found anything recently? Thanks in advance if anyone has any hints. -Drew ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] OT: Building NFS server with LVM and snapshots enabled
Theo Band wrote:
carlopmart wrote:
Hi all,
I need to build a NFS CentOS 5.1 based server with LVM and snaphosts
for disaster recovering to serve storage to three ESX servers for a
development dept. I have 500 GB for storage. Data that I need to store
on this server is 150 GB and can grow to 210 GB to the end of year ...
My questions are:
- Is it possible to do some type of scripting to do data snapshots
every day and then copy to a remote server?? Some example, please??
Yes of course. I would suggest to use rsync for that, see the example
below.
I have experimented in the past with multiple snapshots a day over a
week for users home space. The snapshots gave users a way to quickly
retrieve lost data. Drawback is that snapshots tend to slow down the
file server (it freezes temporarily to update the snaphot). A temporary
snapshot during backup works OK.
- How can I restore snapshot data on the production server if I need
to recover it??
Most easy way would be to make a snapshot and make this snapshot the
active disk. If you need to revert, just remove the snapshot and create
a new one from the original unmodified data. But since you want to use
NFS, you will have to reboot to free up the snapshot which is not so
nice. The other way around is also possible. Just rsync the source NFS
disk from the snapshot.
Again I would only make a snapshot temporarily and use it to make a copy
(or sync) to a second file system. This second file system can than be
setup with multiple snapshots over time. This prevents the slowdown of
the main file server. If you need to revert you can use rsync again.
(rsync works incrementally so it safes a lot of time if most data is
still the same)
Example script to run with crontab to synchronize multiple volumes to a
backup server:
date +$0 started: %x %T
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
volumes=vola volb volc vold
for i in $volumes
do
# Create a new snapshot
# Maximum snapshot size 7G
DATE=$(date +%a_%y%m%d_%H%M)
lvcreate --size 10G -n ${i}_${DATE} --permission r --snapshot
/dev/VolGroup00/$i
# Mount the snapshot
mkdir -p /snapshot/${DATE}/$i
mount -o ro /dev/VolGroup00/${i}_${DATE} /snapshot/${DATE}/$i
rsync -aq --delete /snapshot/${DATE}/$i/ remote_host:/mnt/$i/
umount /snapshot/${DATE}/$i
rmdir /snapshot/${DATE}/$i
rmdir /snapshot/${DATE}
lvremove -f /dev/VolGroup00/${i}_${DATE}
done
date +$0 finished: %x %T
You could create daily snapshots on the remote server as well. I use
(incremental) dump and restore for that.
Cheers,
Theo
That's what I need. Thanks Theo.

If it's defaulting to nobody, that could be your problem. uidThe uid option specifies the user name or user ID that file transfers to and from that module should take place as when the daemon was run as root.

The default is uid -2, which is normally the user nobody. gidThe gid option specifies the group name or group ID that file transfers to and from that module should take place as when the daemon was run as root. This complements the uid option. The default is gid -2, which is normally the group nobody.

C) 32bit systems with 4GB memory require PAE support both in the CPU and in the operating system... /all/ Intel CPUs since about Pentium Pro have this. For systems with 4GB ram, you probably want to run 64bit native rather than mess with PAE anyways. D) out of box support for the chipset and its peripherals so the OS can be installed without having to dink around with special flags or add-on drivers. The newest ICH9 and ICH9-R chips ARE supported in 5.1 if they are in ACHI mode, but apparently Intel has leaned on motherboard makers to not support AHCI mode on ICH9 in the BIOS, only on ICH9-R (which is the same basic backend chip with fake-raid enabled). your 'bug' is issue A).I think its more a design feature or side effect, not an outright bug, but thats a nomenclature thing. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Strange NTP problem
I have 30 identical Lenovo desktop systems running CentOS 5.1. On one of those systems the clock is running slow (5+ minutes from yesterday to this morning and another minute since this morning) despite the fact that NTP is running on all of them and they all have the exact same /etc/ntp.conf file (I compared the MD5 sums of that file on all the systems). Here is the output of grep ntp /var/log messages on the system with the problem since I restarted the NTP daemon earlier today: May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31791]: ntpd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Nov 10 12:33:50 UTC 2007 (1) May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: precision = 1.000 usec May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: Listening on interface wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Disabled May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: Listening on interface wildcard, ::#123 Disabled May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: Listening on interface lo, :: 1#123 Enabled May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: Listening on interface eth0, fe80::210:c6ff:feab:dd92#123 Enabled May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: Listening on interface lo, 127.0.0.1#123 Enabled May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: Listening on interface eth0, 10.66.42.109#123 Enabled May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: kernel time sync status 0040 May 20 11:35:38 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: frequency initialized 0.000 PPM from /var/lib/ntp/drift May 20 11:38:55 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 May 20 11:38:55 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: kernel time sync disabled 0001 May 20 11:39:59 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to 10.101.32.104, stratum 3 May 20 11:40:58 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 May 20 11:42:09 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to 10.101.32.104, stratum 3 May 20 11:47:26 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 May 20 11:49:31 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to 10.101.32.104, stratum 3 May 20 11:52:48 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 May 20 11:54:54 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to 10.101.32.104, stratum 3 May 20 12:01:26 hepdsw03 ntpd[31792]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 Any idea what could be causing this?

The question is why? When the offset is too big, NTP will discard the server as a source of synchronization. Try stoping ntpd, setting the date with ntpdate, then starting ntpq -np again to see what happens. I saw that the jitter appears to be really big too. That might be caused by your server going too slow or too fast in a rate that NTP couldn't keep up to. Once it happened to me, somehow (IRQ problems?) one machine started going so fast that NTP couldn't keep up with it, so I had to put periodic ntpdate's to keep it at the right time. I rebooted it off-hours and the problem went away. Did you try rebooting this machine and seeing if it fixes the problem? One good side is the reach = 377, that means your network is good and all NTP packets are being exchanged correctly. 377 is octal for binary , which means the last 8 NTP packet exchanges were successful.

[CentOS] Re:Re:Can't get past the splash screen
Hi,
Thanks, it's Gnome, and I'm stuck when I login as root.
By using Putty, I managed to create a new user, and then I tried to login to
desktop(using nomachine) as that user, and yes, it works. The problem now is
that I stuck when I login as the root.
Then, I compared the runlog (the one I wrote in that previous email), between
the root's and the new user's and, they're the same.
Then, I compared the sshlog, and I found discrepancies. In the sshlog of the
root, there are some additional lines saying unable to open a file and unable
to start the sesion:
===
NX 285 Identified internal connection
NX 285 Using default mode encrypted
NX 285 Identified options:
nx/nx,options=/cygdrive/C/Users/EONSTR~1/NX73F8~1/S-8728~1.ORG/options:1000
NX 280 Proxy opened with local: 7 remote: 8
NX 285 Switching descriptors: 4 and: 5 to: 7
NX 287 Redirected I/O to channel descriptors
NX 280 Proxy in: 4 out: 5 transport in: 8 out: 8
NX 596 Session startup failed.-
The additional line in the sshlog of the root
NX 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1.
Can't open
/var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{0C2C8B077AB56ED37F7A5A72FE8FA7BF}: No
such file or directory.
mv: cannot stat
`/var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{0C2C8B077AB56ED37F7A5A72FE8FA7BF}': No
such file or directory
NX 1006 Session status: closed
Exited with status 0. User pressed Ok.
===
I checked the permission of that var/lib/nxserver/ (and folders (including
/db/running/ ) and files inside it), the permission is 0700 (read,write,execute
enabled for the owner), with the group is root and owner is the nx. And yes,
also using the root I can view the content of the var/lib/nxserver. If I login
using that new user, I can't view the content.
Oh,yeah, pressing start and leaving for few hours don't solve the problem.
Checking the .bash_history file, these are the commands I issued around the
time when I messed up :
