Do we have anyone here willing to help with that? Because that looks
like a mean feat, when you try do to that alone - no idea how much time

2009-04-02 Thread Karanbir Singh
hi,

Could we have something like this for people who dont have edit rights :

- people can make an 'edit' - but the edit is handled either as a patch 
emailed to the page maintainer / edit group / editorial group / this 
list ? but not displayed till its 'accepted / approved '

I have friends who can review the translation for me.  But I figured 
that the wiki defaults to English content for un-translated pages, I 
could take a piecemeal approach.

just installed their NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2 driver. I had it
running on my CentOS 5.2 x64 machine, and I'm happily surprised that it
builds and runs okay on 5.3 also.

Me too, but why shouldn't it? 

We've rarely had any problems with Nvidia's proprietary drivers with CentOS,
or RHEL for that matter. YMMV of course, just curious on what kind of
problems you've had?

Subject: [CentOS] Don't forget to use torrents for your downloads!

For those who may forget, usin torrents to download and share the new
images will get you faster downloads (if enough folks participate) if
you have a fat pipe and alleviate the load on the CentOS servers.

I have a chubby pipe (~ 1.2MB/sec) and got the stuff really quickly
earlier today.

If your torrent has distributed hash table capability, I suggest that
you also use that feature.

Sharing as fast as I can, never seen this kind of activity before, it's like a 
shark feeding frenzy... The CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD torrent I'm seeding says 
the share ratio is 40928, and rapidly increasing. That can't possibly be 
right, can it??

Have to cap the upload speed to 25kBps during work hours, or my computer would 
be unusable. Maybe I should move this seeding to a CentOS-machine instead...

DHT is enabled over here as well.

Automagically? Care to elaborate on that? Sounds like a useful mechanism to

[CentOS] Shadow passwords NOT md5'ed ?

2009-04-02 Thread Frédérique Da Luene

Hello,
I have a very weird problem on a CentOS 5.2 system. A few months ago, encrypted 
passwords in the shadow file were MD5'ed - allowing for long passwords, rather 
than only 8 characters max.
Today, passwords are 3DES'ed only. No way to find how the system reverted to 
DES-encrypting. But what's more bothersome is we cannot get the system to go 
the MD5 way again, despite all our best efforts.
Authconfig says this :

pam_unix is always enabled
 shadow passwords are enabled
 password hashing algorithm is md5

So... where to look ?
Tia,

 these listed in the release notes

Why should we list rpmforge packages in the Release Notes? exclude
subversion from base if you want to use the one from rpmforge because it
is newer - and remove gstreamer-plugins-bad, because it shares some
files with gstreamer-plugins-good from from the base repository.

There will be a fix for gstreamer-plugins-bad from rpmforge soon.

But that up there is definitely not a problem which can be solved within
CentOS.

Check /etc/sysconfig/authconfig for

If that is there and you still get 3DES passwords, then, ummm, check
that your /usr/bin/passwd is the one which is shipped with CentOS.

 Yes, that will do it - devel packages do need to be the same EVR.
 Sounds like you figured it out.
   
 I have exactly the same problem. No nss-devel is installed currently.

 nss = 3.12.2.0-2.el5.centos is needed by package nss-devel

 I can't install nss-devel either due to the very same error.

 Sorry Michael, I still haven't figured it out. No clue at all.
 

 Sounds like something in your upgrade requires nss-devel but an 
 nss-devel to match the updates nss isn't in the repo, so the update 
 finds the wrong nss-devel.

 What happens when you comment out the mirror list and uncomment the

 you should really be getting in touch with the admin of that mirror -
 almost none of the mirrors admins will be on this list.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but, the mirror admins aren't listed anywhere are
they? I couldn't see any mention in the mirror list pages, in the mirror
status pages or on the mirror itself that suggested who the admin of that
server was... Maybe John has access to a list, but, if not, it could prove

Re: [CentOS] Shadow passwords NOT md5'ed ?

2009-04-02 Thread Barry Brimer
 Hello,
 I have a very weird problem on a CentOS 5.2 system. A few months ago, 
 encrypted passwords in the shadow file were MD5'ed - allowing for long 
 passwords, rather than only 8 characters max.
 Today, passwords are 3DES'ed only. No way to find how the system reverted to 
 DES-encrypting. But what's more bothersome is we cannot get the system to go 
 the MD5 way again, despite all our best efforts.
 Authconfig says this :

 pam_unix is always enabled
 shadow passwords are enabled
 password hashing algorithm is md5

 So... where to look ?

Have you checked /etc/libuser.conf for crypt_style? pwck and grpck can 
verify integrity of the data in /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow 
/etc/gshadow.

Re: [CentOS] Two sets of Heartbeat HTTPD clusters on same subnet

2009-04-02 Thread J Potter

 I have successfully configure two machines to use heartbeat to cluster
 httpd. The two nodes are called etk-1 and etk-2. I am trying to
 configure another two machines to act as a separate cluster (on the
 same IP subnet). These two nodes are called radu-1 and radu-2.

We successfully do this with many pairs of HA nodes in the same  
subnet, using different UDP ports...

Under /etc/ha.d/ha.cf:
udpport someNumber

Use a different authkey for each pair so as to avoid accidental snafus  
with mixing up nodes from different pairs.

It is EOLed. That is all fixes to 5.2 are 5.3.

So there is little choice unless you take on the whole management issue.

BTW, I had some systems that would simply NOT do an install with the 5.2

If you can - you should. The costs of running those torrents at 100mbps 
is way too high to run over any sustained period of time ( and they are 
all offline now ). So once the first rush has spread out - the whole 
user experience is totally driven by the other users part of the deluge.

Normally, I'd keep 1 machine running from within .centos.org to make 
sure there was always atleast 1 seed for each of the torrents. And that 
machine runs only at 10mbps, for all the torrents and is also a part of 
other services within centos.org

[CentOS] 5.3 Update Success

2009-04-02 Thread Tim Nelson
Greetings CentOS Team-

Since the list tends to be filled with things don't work and why did you do 
it this way and complaint X, I thought I'd make a small deviation...

I have a production system running on a Dell Poweredge 2650 server. I simply 
ran 'yum update' and rebooted with no problems. Everything continues to work as 
rock solid as before.

So, I just wanted to say 'Thank You' to all those who put in such hard work 
into the CentOS project. The time between releases was not a problem here. If 
it was, I guess I'd just ask for a refund. :-)

Your hair will fall out and your ears will ring constantly.

You will gain weight that no amount of dieting and exercise will be able to
get rid of.

You will be the laughing stock of all the cool CentOS kids.

Hackers will infiltrate your systems and set up free porn sites.

The porn will be really lame and crappy and full of viruses and rootkits.

 No security fixes. And the cool kids on the block will laugh at you.

Look at today's announcement.  Now I don't know if the security bugs 
fixed where in the old 5.2 kernel or only in the newer 5.3 kernel, but 
it makes that point about staying current with a distro.

[CentOS] acpid events failing after first suspend

2009-04-02 Thread RedShift
Hello


I've configured acpid on my laptop to make the powerbutton hibernate the 
laptop. I modified /etc/acpid/events/power.conf with the following content:

event=PWRF
action=/usr/bin/pm-hibernate


On the first boot it works like it should, but after the laptop has resumed, 
the powerbutton doesn't respond anymore.

This is an extract from /var/log/acpid when the powerbutton responds: 

[Wed Apr  1 15:36:46 2009] client connected from 2332[0:0]
[Wed Apr  1 15:36:46 2009] 1 client rule loaded

[Wed Apr  1 18:10:47 2009] completed event button/power PWRF 0080 0001

After the first resume, nothing like that appears in the logs, like the 
powerbutton was never pushed.

I have acpid version 1.0.4-7.el5 installed, I did not experience this issue on 
another distro which ships with acpid 1.0.8.


Thanks,


Best regards,

[CentOS] Centos 5.3 - NetworkManager applet

2009-04-02 Thread Robert Moskowitz
So far I have upgraded 2 test laptops (no big servers or this, my main 
laptop).

I am running from local repos.  The OS repo is from downloading the isos 
and extracting them.  The Update repo I get with an rsync command.

On both laptops, the update ends with a dialog panel (oh, I am using gnome):

The NetworkManager applet caould not find some required resources.  It 
cannot continue.

I don't see anything in /var/log/messages that might shed light on this.

On both these systems, I have the NetworkManager deamon disabled.  I was 
able to start it in a terminal window with the services command and it 
seems to have worked; I see the icon on the system tray.

Meanwhile, going through messages I see a message at the end of the 
bootup about nm-system-settings about loading plugin ifcfg-rh.

First it parses ifcfg-lo and then notifies that it is ignoring the 
loopback device config.  It then goes on to read ifcfg-eth0 (which is 
set for ONBOOT=no, so nothing more happens).

So is this dialog a 'bug' or just an artifact of upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3?

Updated 4 desktops (kde), 5 servers (one httpd, one postgres (pgdg),

went fine.
Still have a couple servers to do.

[CentOS] EXT4 root fails for kickstart

2009-04-02 Thread James A. Peltier
Hi All,

For those testing EXT4 I seem to have found an issue with anaconda where 
by if you specify EXT4 fstype in your kickstart file it will not install 
and complains that if needs another 250MB of disk space.  I've tried with 
my kickstart set for 10G for root at ext3 and it works fine.  10,15 and 
20GB with EXT4 all fail.

BTW: can't put /boot on it either.

Just a heads up for all. ;)

There must be an upgrade path for OpenVZ systems, you just have to take more

  geez, makes me wonder if I should even bother to leave mine running with
  a 50kbyte/sec uplink ca (thats about 500kbps)...

 If you can - you should. The costs of running those torrents at 100mbps
 is way too high to run over any sustained period of time ( and they are
 all offline now ). So once the first rush has spread out - the whole
 user experience is totally driven by the other users part of the deluge.

 Normally, I'd keep 1 machine running from within .centos.org to make
 sure there was always atleast 1 seed for each of the torrents. And that
 machine runs only at 10mbps, for all the torrents and is also a part of
 other services within centos.org

Aren't these speeds a relative notion, ie. dependent on where you are as a 
peer?

I mean, I have a 100Mbps link to my local LAN, which is connected via a 2Gbps 
optical cables to my national center, which in turn has several uplinks of 
various bandwidth (from 32Mbps to 10Gbps) connected to surrounding countries. 
From there on I don't know. So how can I be sure that for example someone on 
the other side of the planet can utilize my whole bandwidth?

Of course, we can initiate some peer-to-peer data transfer and measure the 
actual speed, but isn't the terminology 100Mbps to outside world a little 
bit undefined in general? Because not all parts of outside world may always 
have greater bandwidth than my uplink?

Is there maybe some web site with a planet-wide topology of the internet, 
along with actual bandwidths of all the links, so one can estimate the 
transfer speed between two arbitrary points on the globe?

FWIW, tommorow I'll use torrent to download the dvd iso's for CentOS 5.3 
(32bit and 64bit archs), and I can leave them seeded 24/7 for an undefinite 
time in the future, cca 3 years at least, or maybe untill 5.4 appears. If 
anyone can pull 100Mbps from me, I'll be glad to help the community. It's 
only that I am not so sure that it is well defined to say I have an 100Mbps 
uplink. Uplink to my nearest neighbor, yes, but further than that...

Best, :-)

[CentOS] filesystem rpm fails when /home is NFS mounted

 I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but the

1. Boot into single user node.
2. run: /sbin/service network start
3. run: yum -y update filesystem

If your system emitted the warning, but did not 'bail', it is 
safe to retieve the rpm locally, and to run:

# rpm -Uvh filesystem*rpm --force

as there are no scripts in play:

[herr...@centos-5 ~]$ sudo rpm -q --scripts filesystem
[herr...@centos-5 ~]$

The cause is the NFS root_squash being in effect when a NFS 
overmount is on a mountpoint, it seems.  /home happens to 
express it

It seems Paul and I are the last two users of NFS mounted 
/home left.

[CentOS] [OT] Godaddy hell...

2009-04-02 Thread Jason Pyeron
Can I get some recommendations:

We are looking for a hosting provider (other than godaddy) with  

1: SLA
2: SSH access
3: subversion/rsync or the ability to install binaries / compile source.

Would like them to include http/https and email.

Any suggestions?

 If you can - you should. The costs of running those torrents at 100mbps
 is way too high to run over any sustained period of time ( and they are
 all offline now ). So once the first rush has spread out - the whole
 user experience is totally driven by the other users part of the deluge.

 Normally, I'd keep 1 machine running from within .centos.org to make
 sure there was always atleast 1 seed for each of the torrents. And that
 machine runs only at 10mbps, for all the torrents and is also a part of
 other services within centos.org
 
 Aren't these speeds a relative notion, ie. dependent on where you are as a 
 peer?
 
 I mean, I have a 100Mbps link to my local LAN, which is connected via a 2Gbps 
 optical cables to my national center, which in turn has several uplinks of

yes, which is why I said all these machines were locaed inside hosting

What makes a major difference however is when there are a lot of people,

Thinking of analogies, if one person throws a small stone at you, maybe
you get a small bruise at worst. If a thousand do it at the same time
you *die*, likely.

That is to say, thousands throwing packets your way all at once tend to
negate a single-point bottleneck existing between you and any specific
source off your ISPs network, if they tend to come from all different
directions (different remote networks). 'Course if you live on a nasty
cable provider (we'll leave them unnamed here) who feels it right to
throttle you based on various usage statistics, you may only get hit by
a few stones at once.

 a 50kbyte/sec uplink ca (thats about 500kbps)...
 If you can - you should. The costs of running those torrents at 100mbps
 is way too high to run over any sustained period of time ( and they are
 all offline now ). So once the first rush has spread out - the whole
 user experience is totally driven by the other users part of the deluge.

 Normally, I'd keep 1 machine running from within .centos.org to make
 sure there was always atleast 1 seed for each of the torrents. And that
 machine runs only at 10mbps, for all the torrents and is also a part of
 other services within centos.org
 
 Aren't these speeds a relative notion, ie. dependent on where you are as a 
 peer?
 
 I mean, I have a 100Mbps link to my local LAN, which is connected via a 2Gbps 
 optical cables to my national center, which in turn has several uplinks of 
 various bandwidth (from 32Mbps to 10Gbps) connected to surrounding countries. 
From there on I don't know. So how can I be sure that for example someone on 
 the other side of the planet can utilize my whole bandwidth?
 
 Of course, we can initiate some peer-to-peer data transfer and measure the 
 actual speed, but isn't the terminology 100Mbps to outside world a little 
 bit undefined in general? Because not all parts of outside world may always 
 have greater bandwidth than my uplink?
 
 Is there maybe some web site with a planet-wide topology of the internet, 
 along with actual bandwidths of all the links, so one can estimate the 
 transfer speed between two arbitrary points on the globe?
 
 FWIW, tommorow I'll use torrent to download the dvd iso's for CentOS 5.3 
 (32bit and 64bit archs), and I can leave them seeded 24/7 for an undefinite 
 time in the future, cca 3 years at least, or maybe untill 5.4 appears. If 
 anyone can pull 100Mbps from me, I'll be glad to help the community. It's 
 only that I am not so sure that it is well defined to say I have an 100Mbps 
 uplink. Uplink to my nearest neighbor, yes, but further than that...
 
 Best, :-)

But with bittorrent, one person doesn't use all of your bandwidth. Hundreds of
users are each using a small percentage of it. So if you have 100 peers
accessing 100 different slices of the torrent at 1 mb each, there goes the
whole 100 mb.

It would appear that wpa_supplicant has a new option (-u) to enable 
functionality with NetworkManager.  I found it in 
the /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant.rpmnew file

 Subject: [CentOS] [OT] Godaddy hell...
 
 Can I get some recommendations:
 
 We are looking for a hosting provider (other than godaddy) with  
 
 1: SLA
 2: SSH access
 3: subversion/rsync or the ability to install binaries / 
 compile source.
 
 Would like them to include http/https and email.
 
 Any suggestions? 
 
 -Jason 

I have used godaddy for hosting my e-commerce site for years.  You probably
need to go with one of their shared servers or dedicated servers.  You won't
get what you need in a hosting plan.
