Hi Ralph,Timothy,

translating centos website with Timothy as there is only English version. Would

Chinese translation. I will focus on Simplified Chinese, and Timothy will focus 
on Traditional Chinese.

 So with 2 4-core Xeons, I don't understand how you can get 3x and 5x.

 At this point, I throw up my hands. I have *no* idea how they could get
 numbers like CPU 52, unless something's wrong in the o/s - I mean, you
 are running 64 bit, right?

 Yeah, x86_64
 I have an idea dunnothe thing is we r runngin 4.8 centos. Its old
 enough and mcelog version is old enough also, mb it decodes something
  
 completely

 wrong.
  
 It could be that 4.8 doesn't really understand the CPU.


 Anyway thanks so much for your time and answers. Hope we will find those
 dimms in experiments.
  
 Seriously - how old is this? I think you should call your vendor: some
 will give you phone or email support, even after the end of warranty.

Forgot to write our solution, mb it will be usefull for someone. In our 
case the problem was(as expected) in DIMM modules. After replacing no

[CentOS] Named, logging of requests

This is not really CentOS-specific - sorry.

On a name server, I would like to log ns queries (specifically, queries 
which result with no answer) regarding one domain (for which my ns is 
authoritative). Is this possible?

I know you can turn on logging globally using the logging section of 
named.conf.

Okay, maybe that was an assumption too far in regards to respect.

Perhaps not so one-sided if he had received an email reply from the devs 
assuming he did indeed send one to KB. To be fair, it does seem pretty lifted 
from the list, which is a point of view that not everyone agrees with. He 
should 
really have sent the article to the devs and offered them a chance respond to 
his comments and have those worked into the article. I assume that wasn't done.

Many thanks for the rpm's. I had some evolution stored
documents that I really needed. I've applied them to
two systems.

Is it possible that the gnome panel problem is only on CRT's and
not LEDs? Seems like one of my systems fixed itself when

No.  News reporting is about picking up and distilling the sentiment
of what's going on.  The article has done that.  It doesn't have to be
a complete factual research project with totally fair and balanced
chances for everyone to have their say.  If the Devs had responded,
that would have been nice, but not a requirement.


 As for the other side of the point of view, please refer to JH's response to 
 me
 comment. I'll paraphrase for you: You can still take it or leave it.


It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it's still wrong.  JH's
responses are absolutely out of line and if I were KB I would be
seriously sitting down with him to have a chat about his attitude.  He
doesn't seem to realize that telling people to f*ck off is not
acceptable behavior, no matter who you are or what you do.

It doesn't matter if you provide something for free, because it's
not free.  Everyone who uses CentOS invests significant time and
energy into it.  Choosing CentOS was based on claims on the web site,
and the promise of an open alternative to Redhat, not an open
alternative when we get around to it, and by the way, just be happy we
deem it worthy to give you anything at all.

The attitudes against any user who has a question about releases
significantly undermines the project and is a slap in the face to
everyone who has chosen to support and proselytize CentOS throughout
the years.  The idea that the Devs are the only ones who do any real
work on the project is complete BS.  It was the *users* who put all
the hard work into implementing CentOS and building up the usage
numbers, not JH and the CentOS project Devs.

Also, based on this post where JH throws around the numbers [1], one
can only assume that the real reason behind keeping the dev process
closed is to maintain the egos of those on the inside -- since all
avenues of logic seem to have been exhausted.

Hi,

  I have upgraded my Dell C151 to the latest 5.6. I have always used
ntp to sync this machine and then the rest of the machines in the
network would sync from it. Since the update I cannot keep the right
time on the machine. This is with / without ntp. I have attempted
various scenario's with no luck. I am now trying the old kernel now as
I type this out. If anyone else has any links or ideas that I should
check out It would be greatly appreciated.

 Just a quick note about my setup. I do not use any gui. As
mentioned I have not had any issues with this machine and it's time
until I upgrade.

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
3gb of ram.

TIA.

Brian.



I hope I'm not the only one having this issue with ntp and the new 
5.6 kernels..


  I am still stuck on the old 5.5 kernel, anything from the 5.6 era and 
I start seeing time issues.

 This is entirely from memory, so it might be incorrect and not relevant
 anymore: When ext4 got released, it was possible to upgrade ext3 to
 ext4, but while you would gain some ext4 features and minor performance
 improvements, the only way to get native ext4 performance, was to delete
 and recreate the partition.

That's not quite true, you can force files on a partition to be
re-created using extents with something like the below:

find /home -xdev -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chattr +e
find /home -xdev -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chattr +e

Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 Update?

2011-04-20 Thread Ian Murray


 
 No.   News reporting is about picking up and distilling the sentiment
 of what's  going on.  The article has done that.  It doesn't have to be
 a  complete factual research project with totally fair and balanced
 chances  for everyone to have their say.  If the Devs had responded,
 that would  have been nice, but not a requirement.
 

I was just trying to be fair, otherwise I get flamed. 
 
  As for the other side of  the point of view, please refer to JH's response 
  to 
me
  comment. I'll  paraphrase for you: You can still take it or leave it.
 
 
 It doesn't  matter how many times you say it, it's still wrong.  JH's
 responses are  absolutely out of line and if I were KB I would be
 seriously sitting down  with him to have a chat about his attitude.  He
 doesn't seem to realize  that telling people to f*ck off is not
 acceptable behavior, no matter who you  are or what you do.
 

Totally agree, but I don't see it changing any time soon.


 It doesn't matter if you provide something for  free, because it's
 not free.  Everyone who uses CentOS invests  significant time and
 energy into it.  Choosing CentOS was based on  claims on the web site,
 and the promise of an open alternative to Redhat, not  an open
 alternative when we get around to it, and by the way, just be happy  we
 deem it worthy to give you anything at all.
 

My big beef has always been that the website and project name suggest one thing 
(i.e. enterprise ready), when the reality is quiet different. I think Zonker 
got 
that one spot on. My suggest to the devs is to change the name and update the 
website and then there is no pretense. Name change will never happen, though, 
as 
it is a valued brand now. I bet you if you did a rebuild off of CentOS, they 
would make you take out all references just like RH do.


 The attitudes against  any user who has a question about releases
 significantly undermines the  project and is a slap in the face to
 everyone who has chosen to support and  proselytize CentOS throughout
 the years.  The idea that the Devs are the  only ones who do any real
 work on the project is complete BS.  It was  the *users* who put all
 the hard work into implementing CentOS and building  up the usage
 numbers, not JH and the CentOS project Devs.
 
 Also, based  on this post where JH throws around the numbers [1], one
 can only assume that  the real reason behind keeping the dev process
 closed is to maintain the egos  of those on the inside -- since all
 avenues of logic seem to have been  exhausted.

I have it black and white in a private email from JH that he would never give 
me 
sufficient information to start a competing rebuild.

I have long since concluded that the devs do it for their own reasons and 
certainly not for any altruistic reasons.

[CentOS] yum update after fresh 5.6 install fails

2011-04-20 Thread Andre Charbonneau
Hi,
I just finished installing a CentOS 5.6 x86_64 system and the first
thing I wanted to do after the install is to apply the software patches.

But I get the following error when I try to run 'yum update':

Package libuser-0.54.7-2.1.el5_5.2.x86_64.rpm is not signed

and yum update exits without applying any of the patches.


I tried clearing the cache and re-running the update command but I get
the same error.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

You could use --nogpgcheck but this is really weird that some packages
are not signed.
It may mean that the package is not from the trusted source, so you
should not use --nogpgcheck on a serious environment.

Yes, that's what I thought too about not disabling gpg. 
yum info on the package reports that the update is coming from the
'updates' repo, and that repo is configured to be:

[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releaseverarch=$basearchrepo=updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

This is all the default settings from a fresh install; I'm not aware
that anything changed in these configs.

If this package is not signed, then I guess other people should be able
to reproduce the problem if they point to the default repos, right?  Or
maybe it is something on my system's config that is different?

Thanks again!

CentOS is simply a community-available rebuild of the upstream Enterprise OS; 
simple, and succinct (and bug-for-bug compatible).  No reason to change; the 
name captures what it is, and has been, for a long time.  This is not new.

You obviously wanted to say reflection of the persistent complainers on 
the CentOS lists.

CentOS is pinned down with friendly fire aimed mostly at Oracle and 
other free riders on RHEL. Red Hat wants more money, and this is the 
only way they can do that.

As for those asking for transparent process, my only conclusion is that 
they want to find out how they can recreate RHEL so they can create a 
fork of CentOS. And that is happening because they are not competent 
enough (or lack money/time) to do it on their own. Why haven't they got 
all information from Scientific Linux? If SL is better and faster with 
releases, then they should ask SL devs to give them access to their 
machines, or to publish their entire build system. I have not seen that 
happening so far. Why?

Also, are you aware that RHEL 6.0 itself is very late?

Info from wikipedia:
- RHEL 2 - 3 took 18 months.
- RHEL 3 - 4 took 19 months.
- RHEL 4 - 5 took 25 months.
- but RHEL 5 - 6 took whooping 44 months.

- CentOS delay for 3.1 was 5 months,
- CentOS delay for 4 was 1 month,
- CentOS delay for 5 was 1 month,
- CentOS delay for 6 is currently 5 months and counting,


So if for RHEL took almost 2,5 times the amount of time to release new 
version (6.0), why is there so much fuss about CentOS team taking it so 
long to untangle the web Red Hat produced, including parallel releases 
of 4.9, 5.6 and 6.0, an 85 percent increase in the amount of code from 
the previous version, and initial delay of publishing SRPMS?

I also wish CentOS 6 was released at least in the end of January, but 
mea culpa, it is what it is.

I have read some of his articles in the past and I speak from the point
of knowledge of his past writings; and also knowledge of his past
involvement with a different linux distribution.  He's apparently got an
axe to grind against the CentOS project.  That's fine, this is a free

him as a respected industry member is greatly stretching things when
every article that mentions CentOS is disparaging and I can't recall any
article even ending on a positive note.  That type of writing, much like
the constant complainers on this list that, for whatever reason, stay
with CentOS when alternatives exist eventually turns into nothing more
than noise.

No.  His conclusions are rehashed, sometimes verbatim, from this list
and the same vocal and tiny minority of users; and that's one of the
problems I have with his style of one-sided journalism - there are two
sides to most every story and when you concentrate solely on the
negative aspects you are doing your readers a grave disservice.

No.  These types of articles will continue to appear whether there is a
communications policy or not.  However having someone actually posting
updates once in a while _would_ be a good thing.  And preferably someone
that doesn't favor one avenue (forums) over another (this list).

 Hi,

  I have upgraded my Dell C151 to the latest 5.6. I have always used
 ntp to sync this machine and then the rest of the machines in the
 network would sync from it. Since the update I cannot keep the right
 time on the machine. This is with / without ntp. I have attempted
 various scenario's with no luck. I am now trying the old kernel now  
 as
 I type this out. If anyone else has any links or ideas that I should
 check out It would be greatly appreciated.

 Just a quick note about my setup. I do not use any gui. As
 mentioned I have not had any issues with this machine and it's time
 until I upgrade.

 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+

Have you tried installing the adjtimex package?  If your system clock  
is running reliably fast under the 5.6 kernel, maybe adjtimex can turn  
that reliability into reliable time sync for you?

simple, and succinct (and bug-for-bug compatible).   No reason to change; the

  But to allude to
 him as a  respected industry member is greatly stretching things when
 every article  that mentions CentOS is disparaging and I can't recall any
 article even  ending on a positive note.  

Try google: http://lwn.net/Articles/123934/

(For the record, I couldn't find any previous disparaging comments from him... 
I 
stopped at page 6)

Maybe he is a hack, I have no clue. But he is a hack with a fairly big 
linux-focused audience that repeated a few home truths (in my opinion). I am 
using it to try to illustrate how the status quo is harming the project. If 
that 
isn't important to you or you don't agree, that's fine.




 
   You may agree or disagree with his conclusion but his facts are a
   reflexion of the CentOS lists.
 
 No.  His conclusions are rehashed,  sometimes verbatim, from this list
 and the same vocal and tiny minority of  users; and that's one of the
 problems I have with his style of one-sided  journalism - there are two
 sides to most every story and when you concentrate  solely on the
 negative aspects you are doing your readers a grave  disservice.

And those that think everything is peachy are also a tiny minority as far as we 
know, because I reckon 95%+ of CentOS users never post on the list. I wish 
people would stop stating what the *think* as *fact*.


 
  If CentOS had a communication policy, it could spare  itself these
  types of articles...
 
 No.  These types of  articles will continue to appear whether there is a
 communications policy  or not. 

In my opinion, what a load of clap-trap. If that was the case, then every 
community project irrespective of governance would get these types of 
articles 
and as far as I can tell, that just aint the case!

 My big beef has always been that the website and project name suggest one

 as
 it is a valued brand now. I bet you if you did a rebuild off of CentOS, they
 would make you take out all references just like RH do.

It sounds to me like your big beef is that you can't run the CentOS
distribution the way *you* want it run. Whether you agree or not,
doesn't change the fact that CentOS *is* enterprise ready.-- and many
enterprises use it. The only time there are significant delays in
patches is when the CentOS team is rebuilding a point release. Sure
that's far from perfect, but it's something those who use CentOS have
learned to work around. Some of them use Red Hat Enterprise Linux on
their critical servers. There are other options, Oracle, Red Hat or
Scientific Linux.

As for rebuilding, why would you want to rebuild CentOS? Why not do
what CentOS does and get the sources directly from Red Hat and rebuild
that? Obviously you must think there is still some value in the CentOS
name.

The only sentiment picked up on was that of a loud, minuscule and
irrelevant fraction of the user base from this and the -devel mailing

 It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it's still wrong.  JH's
 responses are absolutely out of line and if I were KB I would be
 seriously sitting down with him to have a chat about his attitude.  He
 doesn't seem to realize that telling people to f*ck off is not
 acceptable behavior, no matter who you are or what you do.

It's perfectly acceptable when it's the same vocal few over and over
again.  Matter of fact, I commend him on the restraint he's shown so
far.  It's a point of fact that some people are too thick-skulled to
understand any other way; tact doesn't always work - at times you need
to be brutally honest and blunt.

 It doesn't matter if you provide something for free, because it's
 not free.  Everyone who uses CentOS invests significant time and
 energy into it.  Choosing CentOS was based on claims on the web site,
 and the promise of an open alternative to Redhat, not an open
 alternative when we get around to it, and by the way, just be happy we
 deem it worthy to give you anything at all.

What caliber of firearm is pointed at your skull keeping you here?

By the way, anyone that makes a business decision on what OS to use to
support their business requirements based solely on the claims on a web
page has other problems; as does the management team that went along
with it.

 The attitudes against any user who has a question about releases
 significantly undermines the project and is a slap in the face to
 everyone who has chosen to support and proselytize CentOS throughout
 the years.  The idea that the Devs are the only ones who do any real
 work on the project is complete BS.  It was the *users* who put all
 the hard work into implementing CentOS and building up the usage
 numbers, not JH and the CentOS project Devs.

Oh please. 

 Also, based on this post where JH throws around the numbers [1], one
 can only assume that the real reason behind keeping the dev process
 closed is to maintain the egos of those on the inside -- since all
 avenues of logic seem to have been exhausted.

But yet... here you are.

This begs the question:

Why are you still here?  No, really.  Why?  You've nothing good to say.
Ever.  Do you honestly think that the continue crap spewing off your
fingers endears you to the CentOS team?  Do you think they care?  Do you
think you're important to them?  Let me disabuse you of something:  the
answer to all 3 items above is no.  As difficult as it may be for you
to accept the truth is you're irrelevant.  As I've pointed out in the
past, you, like the other whiners and complainers, are not important in
the least.  You're a teeny tiny fraction of the overall CentOS user base
and if you were to migrate your boxes right now tonight to RHEL or SL or

 No.  News reporting is about picking up and distilling the sentiment

 a complete factual research project with totally fair and balanced
 chances for everyone to have their say.  If the Devs had responded,
 that would have been nice, but not a requirement.
 
 
 As for the other side of the point of view, please refer to JH's response to

 It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it's still wrong.  JH's
 responses are absolutely out of line and if I were KB I would be
 seriously sitting down with him to have a chat about his attitude.  He
 doesn't seem to realize that telling people to f*ck off is not
 acceptable behavior, no matter who you are or what you do.
 
 It doesn't matter if you provide something for free, because it's
 not free.  Everyone who uses CentOS invests significant time and
 energy into it.  Choosing CentOS was based on claims on the web site,
 and the promise of an open alternative to Redhat, not an open
 alternative when we get around to it, and by the way, just be happy we
 deem it worthy to give you anything at all.
 
 The attitudes against any user who has a question about releases
 significantly undermines the project and is a slap in the face to
 everyone who has chosen to support and proselytize CentOS throughout
 the years.  The idea that the Devs are the only ones who do any real
 work on the project is complete BS.  It was the *users* who put all
 the hard work into implementing CentOS and building up the usage
 numbers, not JH and the CentOS project Devs.
 
 Also, based on this post where JH throws around the numbers [1], one
 can only assume that the real reason behind keeping the dev process
 closed is to maintain the egos of those on the inside -- since all
 avenues of logic seem to have been exhausted.

For the record, I brought KB into this project ... not the other way around.

I'll take that bet.

I'd be curious to see some stats on downloads now that 5.6 is out; along
with torrent activity.  While neither are a definitive view as to how
popular the disto remains they provide some insight how popular CentOS 5
remains.

most complaining aren't in that group.

Possible?  Sure as anything's possible.  The moon could break out of

factors at play that are contributing to the illustrated 'decline' of
CentOS-based web servers that have nothing to do with the supposed
problems that people perceive to be wrong with the CentOS distribution..

Please keep in mind that CentOS, be it the project or the distribution,
is not a company.  It's not recruiting customers.  There is no
break-even point or sales quota requirements.  People use it if they
want.  Also, another point is that the CentOS devs don't really provide
the support; support, almost exclusively, is a community effort.  Note
that by community I include the forum moderators that have a closer
relationship with the CentOS devs than the average community member.
And no matter what anyone may think of the project or the developers,
community support is as good or better than that provided by the
majority of commercial enterprises I've dealt with in the past 30 years
as a *nix admin/engineer.

That doesn't necessarily follow. If you look at who has been
complaining, a select few names span several years -- even when there
are no point releases pending, they complain. Anyone who has ever used
a newsgroup knows that some people delight in disrupting the
process. They're called trolls on newsgroups. When someone
continually repeats the same thing over and over and over, *ad
nauseum*, then I would not conclude that they speaking for nine others
who are silent.

 Bear also in mind that those who complain the loudest are usually the
 same people who promote the loudest. So they will have an indirect

Doubtful. Some people have an extremely negative outlook or they have
an agenda that they hope achieve by being the constantly squeaking
wheel. Or, as in newsgroups, they have a need to be always stirring
the pot. and this is how they stroke their egos. Whatever it is, many
complainers are never satisfied, even when they get what they want.
That's just their personality and it's not going to change.

 The downward trends for CentOS on one of the charts that the dev
 posted as evidence of CentOS's popularity is a possible indication of
 the above two possible consequences of some of the rather

I haven't been following the mailing list that closely lately, but
when the same people constantly harp on the same subject it tends to
get under your skin. I would imagine when the developers (who have had
two point releases and a major release thrown at them all at one time)
are already tired due to the extra work, the ungrateful and
repetitious bitching from the same few complainers would tend to be
extremely irritating.

snip.

And does anyone really think trying to nuke a project with constant,
public criticism is really going to groom these whiners to be great
cheerleaders when (if) they ever get their way? Sorry, but some of
them have the destructive personality of gossips. They've already
shown their true colors.

And I'm not saying this about everyone, especially not those who've
occasionally complained about a specific issue and are often airing a
legitimate gripe. It's those who have been fed up with CentOS for
years and are going to leave any millennium now if they don't
immediately get their way. I don't think I need to mention any names.
You've seen them (again and again) here and at just about any public
forum they can use to harm CentOS.

 CentOS is not about making you be able to rebuild CentOS, it is about
 the CentOS Project producing and releasing a distribution and about the
 Community providing help for each other via the Wiki, Forums, Mailing
 Lists and IRC.


The is the description of the project on the main page:

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources
freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise
Linux vendor.  CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors
redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS
mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.)
 CentOS is free.

CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core developers.  In
turn the core developers are supported by an active user community
including system administrators, network administrators, enterprise
users, managers, core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from
around the world.


Where does that say it is the goal of CentOS to provide step by step
instructions to teach other projects how to rebuild the upstream sources?

What that says is the the devs build CentOS and the Community provides
support 

How am I misreading it?

 Ever.  Do you honestly think that the continue crap spewing off your
 fingers endears you to the CentOS team?  Do you think they care?  Do you
 think you're important to them?  Let me disabuse you of something:  the
 answer to all 3 items above is no.  As difficult as it may be for you
 to accept the truth is you're irrelevant.  As I've pointed out in the
 past, you, like the other whiners and complainers, are not important in
 the least.  You're a teeny tiny fraction of the overall CentOS user base
 and if you were to migrate your boxes right now tonight to RHEL or SL or
 any other distro that takes your fancy you will not be missed.  Do you
 think the loss of your continued crying, bitching and complaining is
 going to cause anyone any loss of sleep?  Why don't you do yourself and
 everyone else a favor and just move on to some flavor of linux that you
 don't dislike as much as you do CentOS?

 I am going to add this to the Release Notes for 5.6 on the Wiki now.

Turns out that wasn't the only problem I faced in my migration.  With 2
KVM servers, both sharing a volume mounted via NFS for VMs, I migrated
all VMs to the second node, upgraded the first, them moved them all back
to KVM1.  Instant disk corruption on all VMs.  Boom.

I have a second pair of KVM servers.  I tested one VM with my normal
migrate-them-out-of-the-way procedure, and it, too, suffered MASSIVE
filesystem corruption.  This was even after I'd made the qcow2 mods and
restarted libvirtd.

The only way I was able to not have to rebuild the remaining
non-corrupted VMs was to shut them down on one node then bring them back
up again.  Turns out live migration doesn't work in this upgrade.
(Though I'll test regular live migration tomorrow, given that all 4 KVM
servers have now been upgraded.)

 and as far as I can tell, that just aint the case!

It seems that unless/until the CentOS leaders agree that 3 months on

aren't likely to try to solve it.

I would agree that this type of article would exist even if there were
