[CentOS-virt] RHEL 5.5 Xen fixes

2010-03-31 Thread Pasi Kärkkäinen
Hello,

RHEL 5.5 has been released, and it contains many Xen related fixes.

Here's the most important of the them.. fixing a dom0 caching bug which 
could cause domU disk corruption when the domU disk was accessed from dom0 
after the domU was shutdown. Most people noticed this bug when pygrub
used wrong (cached) information.

pygrub uses cached and eventually outdated grub.conf, kernel and initrd:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466681


And some more:

Xen hypervisor doesn't mask xsave feature from the guest; Fedora 11 PV domU 
kernel crashes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524719

[RHEL-5 Xen]: F-11 Xen 64-bit domU cannot be started with  2047MB of memory:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502826

 Boot hang when installing HVM DomU:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524052

[RHEL5 Xen]: PV guest crash on poweroff:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540811

[RHEL5 Xen]: Cpu frequency scaling is broken on Intel:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553324



RHEL 5.5 kernel changelog:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0178.html


Work-in-progress (Not yet in 5.5):

Grub2 guest support for RHEL5 Xen pygrub:

Are these changes in the kernel or changes to the installed Xen? I'm
wondering if this effects anyone using Xen 3.4 or newer.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think I know, I'll use
Windows.
Now they have two problems.

I think they're mixed.. you need to go through the bugzillas to figure out.
(and possibly compare to the kernel changelog above).

This may be a dumb/FA question but how do you run Xen 3.4+ with the latest
Centos kernel?

Are there centos/redhat kernels rebuilt with newer Xen or do you have
to do this yourself?

I see source for kernel 2.6.18 with Xen 3.4 here:

http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html

but that kernel does not have all the fixes that have gone into the
RH/Centos 2.6.18 kernel.

What's the difference between xen.org's 3.4.x series and Citrix

Re: [CentOS-virt] RHEL 5.5 Xen fixes

2010-03-31 Thread compdoc
My 2 cents:

When Red Hat picks a release of kernel, xen, kvm, etc., they
tweak, change, and test it until its 'enterprise' ready. If
they say you can run a business class server with it, I
believe them. Based solely on how well centos works.

Even though RHEL 5.4 doesn't have the newest of anything, it
does what it does well. Even if I have to put up with fewer
features or fixes than the current version, I'm leaving it
alone. 

I'm sure there are guys that can install newer releases of
everything needed to run the latest xen, and it might be
stable, it might not.

 I'm sure there are guys that can install newer releases of

In my experience (several hundred RHEL xen boxes, and maybe 40
xen.org xen boxes over five years.)  until  recently, the xen.org 
xen kernel was quite a bit more stable than the RHEL xen kernel.   
(I mean, it didn't crash, but you'd have weird hangups with things
like xenconsoled dying, or a guest's network suddenly no longer
passing packets.)

The RHEL xen kernel has been getting markedly better over time, 
though, and the RHEL xen kernel has /much/ better driver support
than the xen.org 2.6.18 kernel.  My next server at prgmr.com
will likely have either the the CentOS xen kernel or the opensolaris
xvm xen kernel rather than the xen.org xen kernel for that reason 
(assuming I can get PVGRUB working and that paravirt ops linux guests 
work, which I believe they do.)

[CentOS-es] Operacion no soportada al borrar archivos ftp

2010-03-31 Thread Maykel Franco Hernández
Hola muy buenas, estoy intentando borrar un directorio de un ftp externo
que tenemos alojado en un hosting y todos los archivos hasta ahora me los
ha borrado bien hasta que me topado con el siguiente problema. Una carpeta
llamada ckfinder, quiero borrarla. Entonces lo que he hecho es montar el
sistema de ficheros via curlftpfs como si de un sistema de ficheros se
tratase ese ftp y le dado permisos de rw y para que puedan acceder todos
los usuarios así:

curlftpfs ftp://usuario:contase...@dominio /directorio/amontar -o rw -o
allow_other

Se monta bien y demas y los permisos los tiene igual que todas las
carpetas, pero hay unos archivos dentro que no me deja borrarlos, me dice
operacion no soportada:

r...@server1:/home/tecnico/Escritorio/comnet# rm -Rf ckfinder/
rm: no se puede borrar «ckfinder/userfiles/_thumbs/Images/carteles.gif»:
Operación no permitida
rm: no se puede borrar «ckfinder/userfiles/images/carteles.gif»:
Operación no permitida
r...@server1:/home/tecnico/Escritorio/comnet#


El problema son estos archivos que se encuentran en su interior:

r...@server1:/home/tecnico/Escritorio/comnet/ckfinder/userfiles# rm -R *
rm: no se puede borrar «images/carteles.gif»: Operación no permitida
rm: no se puede borrar «_thumbs/Images/carteles.gif»: Operación no
permitida

Y los permisos que tienen son estos:


r...@server1:/home/tecnico/Escritorio/comnet/ckfinder/userfiles# ls -lR
.:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-03-31 10:16 images

./_thumbs/Images:
total 8
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6190 2010-03-31 10:16 carteles.gif



Alguien sabe por qué?? He googleado un poco pero no encuentro nada. Cabe
destacar que esos archivos los generó un programa que actúo en ese
directorio. Qué podría hacer para borrarlo(no tengo control de ssh bajo
ese server). Un saludo.

es muy común con servidores de alojamiento que no manejan correctamente 
los usuarios que poseen directorios/archivos. Para ser honestos estos 
parecen ser directorios o archivos que el administrador tocó con su

simplemente escríbeles y seguramente te responderán rápidamente

[CentOS-es] Webmail favorito

Hola muy buenas otra vez, quería comentarles que tengo instalado el
squirrelmail como webmail y demas y va como un tiro, me quedado asombrado

plugins como por ejemplo para cambiar la contraseña via web. Pero oí
hablar muy bien de roundcubemail, lo implemente metiendo un usuario en la
base de datos y creando las tablas y demas y es que está tremendo, para la
empresa creo que está mejor. Pero mi pregunta es, conocéis algún webmail,

a mi me gusta bastante, la suite de Horde IMP (webmail) Turba (contacs)

Igual q Horde es mas q un webmail, es una app de colaboracion q

Y aunque tenga que admitirlo, HORDE es un webmail completo y configurable.

Sounds like you have your solution... Install sudo and configure it so
that particular users can use sudo to temporarily gain root
privileges.  You may even be able to copy your /etc/sudoers from
Ubuntu directly to CentOS.

Re: [CentOS] Keyboard problems on Centos 5.4

2010-03-31 Thread Kwan Lowe
 Simply plugging in my older Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboad 1.0A and some
 crappy old mouse, both of which are wired with PS/2 connectors, resulted
 in the problem going away. This kind of sucks because I like using my
 keyboard and mouse and I dont intend to leave these old things connected
 to my pc.

 I gather this means that the bug, that seems to have floated around for
 what 6 yrs, still hasn't been resolved?

Umm... It doesn't appear to be a CentOS issue ..
Have you tried re-synching the keyboard to the receiver?  Also, low
batteries can cause similar errors in wireless keyboards.

Re: [CentOS] mounting gfs partition hangs; Solution

2010-03-31 Thread sandra-llistes
It seems that all the problem was caused by selinux.
I booted all the nodes with the kernel option selinux=0 and now I can
mount GFS partitions without problems.
Thanks,

[CentOS] Define HTTP proxy system-wide (Squid and Squidguard) ?

2010-03-31 Thread Niki Kovacs
Hi,

I'm currently configuring Squid and Squidguard for filtering web access 
in a public computer room. So far, everything works fine.

I know how to configure Firefox to use a proxy, but there's no way to 
protect that configuration, e. g. a more knowledgeable user might 
circumvent this configuration. Is there some way to configure an HTTP 
proxy system-wide?

Cheers from the sunny South of France,

My email client wrapped the rightmost field of some of the output above,
but it's still discernible that epel wants to update to a newer version
of gmime, but (as you said) has no corresponding version of gmime-sharp.
 Conceivably, this could be the problem.  The versions I have of gmime
and gmime-sharp seem to be from a different repo:

# rpm -qi gmime gmime-sharp|grep URL
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/

and so this might be a contributing issue.  So I deleted these two
packages (rpm -e ...) and then did yum install on them... which took
them from the extras repo, which seems to have gotten them from
sourceforge:

# rpm -qi gmime gmime-sharp|grep URL
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/

(So this wouldn't seem to be a case of conflicting repos.)

Now, doing yum update again brought me back to the original problem.
:(  But at least we have more clarity to it: the extras repo doesn't
have a version update to gmime-sharp, a dependency for the update of
gmime.

So.. what's the next thing to do?  Just wait for an upgrade for
gmime-sharp?  Why does the extras repo not have it if it's a dependency?
 Perhaps it's still coming (?).  Or... has anyone else (somehow) been
able to upgrade to gmime v. 2.2.25-1.el5 ??  (How?)


Thanks, people.  I appreciate your efforts.

 Ahhh I've had a similar problem before.  Turns out I had multiple

   rpm -qa | grep gmime
 
 Perhaps you have both the i386 and x86_64 versions installed at the same
 time.  You may have to do something like
 
 rpm -e gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386
 
 (or what ever package is conflicting)
 
 to get yum back to a sane state.

Kal, thanks for the tip on duplicates.  It's not the source of the

The BBC Microcomputer (2Mhz 6502) from the early 80s came with
32Kb RAM, 32Kb ROM (16Kb OS ROM, 16Kb paged ROM, for language etc).
RAM 0-0x7fff, Paged ROM (aka Sideways ROM - SWR) 0x8000-0xbfff,
OS ROM 0xc000-0x.

The language ROM idea was quite clever; it came with BASIC but you
could install 3 other ROMS (or with an expansion board, 15 other ROMS)
in there and so could have Pascal or a wordprocessor or an interactive
assember/debugger or...

So then some clever person thought what if I put RAM in there.
The first use was to be able to load ROM images into it, so effectively
letting you change the language ROMs you wanted to use.  But with some
bank switching it was possible to create a RAMdisk (the BBC was well
designed for this sort of expansion).  128Kbyte RAMdisks used 8 of the
SWR banks, typically on a expansion daughter board.  Since floppy disks
at the time ran from 100Kbyte (40track single sided single density)
to 720Kbyte (80track double sided double density), a 128Kbyte RAMdisk
was nothing to be sneezed at.

Next step was shadow memory.  The BBCs designed shared the program
memory with the screen memory.  The highest resolution was 20Kb in size
(which ran from top of RAM down).  Add in OS overheads (3.75Kb) and you
didn't have much space for programming!  So another form of paging was
used to help here; the OS write-character routines were intercepted and
banks were switched so the pixels were drawn and then the banks switched
back.  From a well-written programs perspective this was transparent.  A
little slow, but it worked :-)

That was a fun machine to use!

On the router level, you could block all the traffic and allow only the
threads initiated by proxy. Thus you make sure that no 'clever' user can
generate outbound traffic.

I don't understand your question or exactly what you are trying to do, but I 
suspect your problem has to do with the situation you described in other 
postings where you have random addresses bridged on the same network. 
Addressing is supposed to work like this: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork
and if the destination address isn't in the same subnet as the source it will 
be 
sent to the default gateway router unless you have configured a more specific 
route for it.

[CentOS] selinux on xen virtual machines

2010-03-31 Thread lhecking

 I rebuilt my xen host with the 64-bit OS and am in the process of recreating
 the guests, both 32 and 64 bit. I use a kickstart installation with
 virt-install, and so far none of the installation attempts has completed.

 Anaconda indicates installation should take about 2-3 minutes, but when it
 comes to installation of selinux policies, it just sits there, and I have
 no idea what it's doing. No progress 15 minutes later, and it doesn't make
 a difference whether I disable or not selinux in the kickstart configuration.
 What's the best thing to do in this situation?

 CentOS 5.4 with all current updates.

The only other idea I know of is to run the Real Time Kernel on those
Blades.  Then you need the kernel tools installed.  Pin down the
specific intterupt that the LUN resides on and blacklist it for that
specific scsi interface.  I dont that that either will get you a per lun
but they run on interrupts so they can be made to persistanly be
disabled.  cat /proc/interrupts will show it should but I must say i
have never disable a LUN through it only NIC devices and moving them
around to other CPUs.

You can use Nates idea also. It will work.  Put you a script in rc.d to
make it persistant.  I have a feeling you will need it in boot order
fashion though.

[CentOS] CUPS and virtual interfaces

2010-03-31 Thread m . roth
I've got a server with multiple virtual interfaces. Now, I only want CUPS
to advertise on *one* - eth0, not eth0:1 or eth0:gad

Looking at the CUPS manual, and cuppsd.conf man page, I see BrowseAllow,
but the entries are not clear enough for me to understand what they mean.
(Yeah, I know the docs are better than they were - read ESR's rant about
it from a few years ago.)

Specifically, I *think* I'd like to use BrowseAllow @IF, but I can't
figure out if that should be
BrowseAllow @IF(eth0)
or
BrowseAllow @IF(hostname)

Also, if it's interface name, and there are multiple virtual interfaces on
eth0, and I use the first of the two lines, above, will that *not* also
apply to the VIs on eth0?

 When I add selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted, the installer hangs

I found the solution, if anyone is interested.
First, this is not an ibm touch monitor, it was conwerted in a local shop. I
found that later, when i did some digging. It uses an MicroTouch matrix.
Microtouch is now used by 3m so you can get the drivers from 3m touch
systems. The trick is, that this kind of devices don't work with the new
driwers that are marked as Linux kernel 2.6. You have to use the old
drivers marked as Linuy Kernel 2.4. Dont worry, when you read the readme
file, you see that the drivers also work on 2.6 kernels. When downloaded you
get an source rpm. To sucessfully build the rpm on CentOS 5.4 you have to
unpack the rpm and modify the sources according to the attached document
(Touchware for Linux Kernel Module Issues.txt (google for the file name, i
don't know what the policy for attaching files is on this list)). After
modifying is just a matter of rpmbuld and installing rpm.

TouchWare for Linux Kernel Module Issues
Date Originated: 3 August 2006
Created by: Damir Suljic
Date Revised:  21 May 2007
Revised by: Damir Suljic

Overview
The TouchWare for Linux Software, part of the MicroTouch™ Software Suite, uses 
a kernel module for the Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 operating system. This module 
is responsible for communicating with the touch screen controllers in a touch 
system.
This document details known issues with kernel module not jet resolved or 
incorporated into released product.  It gives basic steps to resolve the 
problems on users’ site, and describes suggested changes required on source 
RPMs.
The document first covers a build process of the kernel module and structure of 
source RPM. It explains how to customize the Source RPM and deploy it on target 
systems with new changes. The list of known issues will follow including 
problem description and details about system affected.   
Source RPM Build and Structure
TouchWare package is in form of Source RPM and main reason for this is Kernel 
module included in this package. In one Linux system the kernel module needs to 
be built and linked against current kernel version, and since Linux has vast 
number of kernel versions available we decided to allow users to build our 
package against their version. Now with every new version it is possible to hit 
a situation where kernel module will not build or will not load on target 
system.
After initial installation of source RPM into build directory (usually 
“/usr/src/rpm directory”) the building binary RPM (all this is described in 
Readme file included in package) will have either failure while building or 
while installing binary RPM. In both cases you will have to investigate in more 
details what and where in process the errors were happening. In case of build 
error the command line output will give more information what file did fail to 
build. If binary RPM build successfully but after installing it kernel module 
did not load, you can check this by issuing “lsmod” in command line and look 
for TWDrv, check “/var/log/messages” file for errors related to TWDrv (“invalid 
module format”, “unresolved sysmbols”, etc).
Customization of Source RPM
To make changes on source RPM you will have to extract TWDrvSoureces.tgz file 
(usually found in “/usr/src/rpm directory/SOURCES” directory) in temporary 
directory “/usr/tmp/mytemp”. After extracting sources change directory to 
“/usr/src/mytemp” and you will see directories and files from our package. One 
of the directories is TwDrvKit where the kernel module files are located. Make 
needed changes on TWDriver.c file. Test build it by issuing make command, and 
insert module with “insmod TWDrv.ko”.
If the changes were acceptable, change directory to “/usr/tmp/mytemp” and issue 
“tar –czf TWDrvSources.tgz *” (it is * for all files in current

 Understood.  Using rpm -qi, the Vendor field shows just CentOS,

It appears that EPEL uses Fedora Project.

Interesting.  I tested a Base CentOS package and it has
builder10.centos.org.  Perhaps the extras are build using a
different method.  The gmime package from epel has
x86-07.phx2.fedoraproject.org.

 and there is no Packager
 field.  I tried using the --queryformat option a few different way to
 output the packager, but no luck.  That would be a big help in figuring

It must be an optional field:
$ rpm -qi cacti | grep Packager
Packager: Dag Wieers d...@wieers.com


 

 That is interesting.  Did your yum install command specify to install
 gmime-sharp?

 Yes, it's needed by tomboy, an applet I use.

OK.  That makes sense.  Yum will make the transaction consistent by
using the older versions to meet the dependency since no version was
installed.

 

 So.. what's the next thing to do?

 Either exclude gmime from the epel repo

IIRC that will work.

installed properly, discovered two problems: the middle button on the

I'll chime in. Fedora 12 seems well behaved running as a (64-bit) VM

We use F12 headless, so I can't comment on desktop issues, but I

A lot of the work after Fedora 6 seemed to revolve around making

It doesn't sound very cache-friendly either...  The Centos mirrorlists

it didn't matter that you end up pulling a copy of every rpm from every

indeed.There were exceptions, but yes, this involved 'additional

Altos Computers and others made Z80 systems which had 4 or more banks of 
64K memory minus a small chunk of shared memory, these ran the multiuser 
CP/M known as MP/M-80... IIRC, this was circa 1979 or 1980.

 Since 5.5 is now out from Red Hat and most likely our amazing CentOS

 it's already a year out of date (base was supposed to be Fedora 10),
 so I have to wonder.


I vaguely recollect that RH mentioned pushing out the (total) life
cycles of a release from 5 to 7 years, or 7 to 10 or something like
that.

[CentOS] C5 XEN domain not startable

2010-03-31 Thread Dave Stevens
Hi,

I have a Centos 5 box with dom0 and several domUs and one of them is  
not runnable. I ran updates several days ago and the update included a  
kernel update so I used virt-manager to reboot. But it won't book. It  
shows as not running and when I try to run it I get a dialog box with  
this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py, line 498, in  
run_domain
 vm.startup()
   File /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py, line 573, in startup

   File /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py, line 287, in create
 if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: Unknown failure

I don't know what to do about this. Anyone have ideas?

Current RHEL life cycle is in fact 7 years.
Interesting, I remember hearing just the opposite - that they're about 
to reduce the life cycle from 7 to 5 years, since allegedly no one uses 
the same EL major release for more than 5 years. I mean, can you imagine 
anyone who used RHEL 2.1 up until less than a year ago?

Anyway, it's nice to see so many people have dumped Fedora for pretty 
much the same reason as I have, more than a year ago in favour of 
CentOS. And this was after almost two years of discontent with Fedora.

Guess it depends on what your definition of usable is.  
It has been working for me since the first version of Fedora was
released.  Can't say it's 100% problem free but then nothing is.

Fedora works fine for my play laptop. I have it setup so that critical
data is backed up to my fileserver so even if I lose the drive
rebuilding just takes 20 minutes or so and I'm back where I left off.
 I don't use it on any infrastructure stuff at my house, but it's
definitely easier to get things like networking, eye candy demo window
managers, graphics software, etc.. going under Fedora.

Well, I love to make people laugh so I'll chime in here.

I do use Fedora for some hosting, and I'm very happy with it for that
purpose.  The reason I like it better is that the packages are more
up-to-date.  Not bleeding edge, but more current.  I'd rather let
Fedora manage my mediaWiki installation rather than deal with the
updates myself.

The trick is that you have to accept that you'll be reinstalling it in
a year.  With puppet and a little discipline, that's not a big deal.
Spin up a new VM, get things running, and switch over DNS.

One approach

step 1: make sure packages 'expect' and 'telnet' are installed
step 2: read: man autoexpect  and RFC 2821
... see worked example for handing email to a remote server
http://www.owlriver.com/tips/sendmail-tip/

I am new to CentOS and been into Linux for about 3 months now. I first

worked for me :

yum install net-snmp

it installed the snmp agent for me but on others i am finding it hard to 
install. Basically , this is what i get :

[r...@centos-64-xxx ~]# yum install net-snmp

Re: [CentOS] Sending mail from CLI to another SMTP host

2010-03-31 Thread Joseph L. Casale
Hi all,
Is it possible to send mail from CLI (bash, python) without any LOCAL
SMTP installed, using SMTP on another machine.
Care to give a glimpse of the code?
Thank you.

But of course, just cause the smtp server you are pointed at initially
is local, interpret that as 127.0.0.1. So point to another. Most home
users don't have their own smtp server, they use their isp's...

http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html

Supports SMTP to send messages directly to a remote server. A local
 sendmail interface setup is thus not necessary.
