[CentOS] Crontab problem

2010-10-05 Thread Jennifer Botten
Hi,

 

I seem to have a problem with crontab. I am running CentOS 5.5. If I add my
bakup scripts into crontab they take very long to run. If I run my scripts
manually they run 100%. I have also tried vixiecron, same issue. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Did you use full paths to your executables in your script? 

If you run an script from crontab, you could have other/missing

the same way you debug stuff when you can't see the problem by just 
staring at it: reduce it to a minimal error-case. So, remove some of 
those /etc/sysconfig/iptables lines until it no longer fails, and 
identify the exact line that causes the failure. Then stare at that one 
line and understand why it's failing.

The EPEL repository has a python26 package that you can install in
parallel of base python.

You can then also use python-virtualenv (also in EPEL) to add the
Python modules you would need:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python26 /path/to/your/virtualenv/dir

 On my CentOS 5.5 systems, defaults for ext4 reside on /etc/mke4fs.conf.

Re: [CentOS] kernel.org kernel in CentOS respin.

I found these wonderful instruction by Alan Bartlett (thanks Alan) for 
building

to the target system and doing a rpm -ivh ... works great.
Now I am trying to use the same rpm as part of a CentOS respin and 
the installation fails miserably leaving me with a unbootable system.
Using the rescue option I see the following in my install log.

That's the worst possible solution you could have applied.

The system is completely dependent on the version of python
supplied with it (2.4.3) and by replacing it with 2.6 you 
have effectively broken large parts of it.

Why not just go with the version is EPEL that has been
previously recommended in this thread?  It installs
side-by-side with the system supplied python and as such
doesn't break anything.

There is the added bonus that the EPEL supplied python will
actually get updated.

I realize that uname is missing as well as /sbin/new-kernel-pkg. That is why

Re: [CentOS] EXT4 mount issue

2010-10-05 Thread Steve Brooks

Hi Brent, Thanks for the reply.

I have to make a decision yes, it is not an easy one either, I read have so 
many different reports, opinions that I now feel my brain has become rather 
scrambled.. Wondering now if I should just have smaller filesystems and stick 
with EXT3.. I have never used XFS and have therefore no experience with it and 
this I guess leaves me short of confidence.

  It is up to you to decide.  Do you go with a file system, XFS, that has
  15 YEARS of use and EXABYTES of storage  behinding it?  Or do you go with
  ext4, something that has just been declared `stable'.  How important is the
  data on those drives?  Will you have excellent tape backup of that data not
  just copies on another ext4 file system, but verified tape backups?

  I prefer using something I know works and has survived numerous system
  crashes with out missing a beat.

 Any hints on how to debug those issues?

 the same way you debug stuff when you can't see the problem by just
 staring at it: reduce it to a minimal error-case. So, remove some of
 those /etc/sysconfig/iptables lines until it no longer fails, and
 identify the exact line that causes the failure. Then stare at that one
 line and understand why it's failing.

 Ain't those 20! combinations? (my combinatorics skills are aged).

 I was actually hoping for good iptables tips and not for mental coaching :-)

multiport helps to reduce lines on iptables ..

I have no experience with color printers from Brother, but I'm extremely
happy with my monochrome Brother laser printer. When I received it,
I connected it via USB (to my then Centos 4 box) and up comes a dialog
offering to configure the printer. ran thru it and voila.

I noticed a few months ago that places such as (but not limited to) 
Amazon had some Brother color laser printers for reasonable prices
(under $300 US). here are a couple of examples from today:

http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3040CN-Compact-Digital-Networking/dp/B002ONCBXU/ref=sr_1_19?s=pcie=UTF8qid=1286283594sr=1-19

and

http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3070CW-Compact-Wireless-Networking/dp/B002ONCDH4/ref=sr_1_15?s=pcie=UTF8qid=1286283594sr=1-15

as to whether or how well these work with Linux, I cannot say. Brother does,
however, have Linux support  (and drivers, should you need 'em) for many
of their devices, so you could check their web page for any specific models
of interest.

Good luck!

We have multiple Brother MFC-9840CDW and they work very well [they even
support IPv6]  ~2 cents a page.

Otherwise we have a HP 2550n that works very well; but is expensive to
operate. ~7 cents a page.

I have a Brother MFC-9120cn.  It's probably overkill for the OPs
requirements but it works very well with Linux.  Brother even provide
RPMs that allow you to use the scanner functions remotely, send faxes
and so on.

Just because Brother go to that level of effort means I'd strongly
recommend them!

Dunno what your needs are but I just baught a Samsung CLP-310 which works

of splix, doesn't goes well with that model.

Virtually any of the HP's with Postscript work fine, as long as you have or can 
get a .ppd for it and it's real Postscript.  I have an old Color LaserJet 
8550DN that works like a champ.  Supplies are steep, but this is an 11x17 
printer.

For monochrome duplex I'm still using an HP LJ 8000 with duplexer, and the 8150 
with duplexer works well, too.  If you print enough monochrome, you'll find 
that the 8K or 8150 are less expensive than the 8550 printing black.  All three 
are 11x17 capable.

Re: [CentOS] EXT4 mount issue : update

In the two 11T EXT4 filesystems (raid level 6), referred to inprevious 
posts, built on devices

/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc

tune4fs listed the filesystem state as not clean. I remounted them as 
read only while I decided what to do. The next day I check them again and 
tune4fs reports the filesystem state as clean. Could this be normal 
behaviour?

 Anyone got a recommendation for a cheap (but good)
 colour laser printer that runs under CentOS-5.5 ?
 

HP CP1518ni Color Laserjet. So far it works well with CentOS, Slackware, 
Ubuntu and Mythdora.

 tune4fs listed the filesystem state as not clean. I remounted them as

 tune4fs reports the filesystem state as clean. Could this be normal
 behaviour?

Yes. not clean is fine.  A mounted FS without a journal will always be 
not clean.

not clean with errors is a cause for concern.

[CentOS] GDM could not write to you authorization file ... Please contact your system adminstrator

2010-10-05 Thread drew einhorn
I am the system administrator.

I have a system that was built with a default install which resulted
in everything in a single file system except for /boot

wrote some scripts to split out: /home, /usr, /var, /opt, and /tmp to
separate file systems/logical volumes it looks like it ought to work,

There's plenty of space in all the filesystems and I can log via ssh
and have write access in my home directory.  Logging in via ssh
did result in a new .Xauthority file being automatically created,
but that did not help.

Googleing around I saw a thread where the user was actually out
of disk space, but before that was established somebody asked
if /home was on a different filesystem from /, but what to do in that
case never came up.

Another google thread suggested looking in .xsession-errors,
but I don't have one.

I've found irrelevant ubuntu suggestions regarding ubuntu only
packages.

Still googleing

There are no selinux related log messages.
Tried disabling it anyway.  Didn't help.
