[CentOS] Kernel panic with VMware Workstation 8.0.6 and 6.5 kernel
There is apparently a kernel bug that creates a kernel panic when starting a windows guest in vmware workstation. I have experienced this bug on two machines, both with workstation 8.0.6 but it has been reported with other versions as well: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2318686 . Booting kernel 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 instead of 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 resolves the issue. Just a heads up for those who may encounter it.

[CentOS] xorg updates hose GUI with Nvidia driver
Just a heads up that once again an xorg update has removed the link in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions that points to libglx.so.325.15 in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia thus breaking X.

We have one workstation running the elrepo kernel-lt because that was the only way I could get usb functionality.

Re: [CentOS] moderate rant un updates
This may be slightly off topic on this thread but on all my workstations using the Nvidia kmod from elrepo, the update to xorg removed the symbolic link 'libglx.so in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia that points to nvidia's libglx.so.304.64.

[CentOS] Wireless cannot ping gateway after 6.3 CR updates
I'm having a wireless connection issue with an HP laptop and a Zotac media server after the 6.4 package updates from CR repository. Nothing changed with wireless config as far as I can tell.

The boxes in question appear to connect to the router/accesspoint, are assigned correct static IPs, but cannot ping any box on the intranet including the router. No other boxes on the intranet can ping the hp or zotac, Once a network cable is inserted and removed all is well with that box. The zotac box uses the ath9k wireless driver, the HP uses b43. Same result using DHCP instead of static IP. Output of iwconfig appears normal on both errant boxes and does not change from non-working to working state. Google has not been much help.

[CentOS] Yum update to 5.7 unexpected results
I have a couple machines running 5.6 fully updated from cr repo. When I did 'yum update' this morning it found 8 updates: centos-release-5-7.el5 centos-release-notes-5.7-0 ghostscript 8.70-6.el5_7.3 nspr 4.8.8-1.el5_7 nss 3.12.10-4.el5 nss-tools 3.12.10-4.el5 ntp-4.2.2p1-15.el5 initscripts-8.45.38-2.el5 However yum reported 404 on everything but ntp and initscripts. I installed ntp and initscripts individually and yum continued to report 404 on the rest of the updates on both machines. One machine i386, the other x86_64. I did a 'yum clean all' followed by 'yum update' and it installed centos-release and centos-release-notes but not nss, nss-tools, ghostscript or nspr updates. []# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.7 (Final) []# rpm -q nss nss-tools ghostscript nspr nss-3.12.8-4.el5_6 nss-tools-3.12.8-4.el5_6 ghostscript-8.70-6.el5 nspr-4.8.6-1.el5_5 Both machines had identical results and appear to be fully updated to 5.7 but with at least four packages not updated.

I see no reference in the link you posted about firmware but since it discusses removing and blacklisting the b43 driver I would guess the are assuming the firmware is installed.

Re: [CentOS] centos courseware?
I find the RHEL Deployment Guide very helpful in this regard. Sorry. I don't have the link handy at the moment but it's available on the RH website.HTH. yes, i've already bookmarked those. i was curious in that there are some deployment guides at the centos site: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ but they stop at 5.2. any reason for that? rday -- That issue was discussed on this list in the recent past. Don't recall the answer. I have no difficulty in using the RH guide since CentOS strives to be binary compatible with RHEL. There is a textbook, Linux:The Textbook,published by Addison Wesley, which is used in the local college in the AA program but it is generic and somewhat out of date:circa 2002. B.J.

[CentOS] Cannot open port 631 for Cups printer sharing
I have been trying to set up printer sharing on the LAN.All machines are CentOS 5.2 fully updated. The problem server is a fresh build. The box it is replacing worked fine for many months. The problem appears to be a closed port 631 on the new box. iptables and ip6tables are stopped as shown by the output below. To confirm I was using nmap correctly I ran it against the old server first which shows 631 open. No matter what I do to the new box (192.168.2.205) 631 remains closed.

Ok the version I have running is directly from the hplip website. It is not the CentOS Distro version. This actually brings up something of which I really believe that upstream has modified the code (backports etc). What is extremly strange is that I could not get any HP printers to function correctly with the hplip rpm from Upstream. So what I done was down load the binary from HP, thus far I have not have any problems. There is a newer version on the site than I have running. Why I don't have the newest is, for some strange reason it does not want to work right. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html You can try this but it want solve the your current problem of knowing why it want work. Ultimately file a bug report as both of you are having the same problem and none seems to have an answer. I just called and had the printer (hplaserjet 1300) reconnected to the old server and it works fine with hplip ver. 1.6.7 so I don't think it's hplip. Both machines are identical except for motherboard, ram and drives, none of which should be in the picture here AFAIK. Even had the cat5 cable switched between the two boxes with no change. Don't think I have ever seen a port closed with the firewall down and a service running on it before. You may be right, it may be a bug but I've done this so many times on centos 5 without this issue. Thanks for all your help. I'll keep plugging at it and if all else fails try another install.

Should have said It has to be changed for networking. Posted a working networkable config also and linked the cups site also JohnStanley I think the first problem is we have somehow merged two threads. The first was Mr. Wells issue which is different from mine. His port 631 is open when nmap is run from localhost but not when run against the IP. My port 631 is closed regardless of whether it is run from localhost or remotely against the IP. My cupsd.conf works. An identical machine co-located has an identical cupsd.conf and shares the same printer nicely on the same LAN. The same nmap configuration run against that machine shows port 631 open in both above cases. My conclusion, FWIW, is that it is not a cups config issue but a port issue. Also, the cups site link confirms that @LOCAL means local network which is all I'm looking for. The laserjet 1300 has been supported for at least a few years now. Thanks, B.J.

I did as requested and copied the working config file to the non working box with no change. Port 631 still closed. I also ran nmap against the apparently closed port with the -P0 option and it shows closed as distinguished from filtered. Thanks for the suggestions. B.J.

Jerry snip you can download the CentOS live-cd version and run it and see how the hardware is supported under the current version of CentOS http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2008-February/014688.html I had a similar issue with an Asus M3N-HT series board with Nvidia 780a chipset. I was able to boot and install CentOS 5.2 x86_64 using passing kernel option pci=nomsi even though I was never able to get the CentOS live cd to boot. lspci could not id the chip set either. I was able to boot several ubuntu live cd's to determine nic and audio driver. I doubt you will have a satisfactory driver for nic or audio with present centos kernel. Also tried rhel 5.3 beta kernel which appeared to work without issue except still no support for nic or audio. Finally compiled vanilla kernel 2.6.26.8 from kernel.org and everything works. The point of all this rambling is that you may have to compile a custom kernel to make everything work or go to a more bleeding edge distribution. Google mcp78b tells me many are getting errors with 2.6.26. on that chipset. IIRC ubuntu 8.10 uses 2.6.27 kernel and might be the way to go. Good luck. B.J.

All goes well, but after X restarts, I see a strange picture: the resolution indeed goes to 1680x1050 as is supposed to, but is squeezed/shrinked/scaled horizontally to match a 4:3 aspect ratio, leaving two (unequal) black bands on the left and right side of the monitor. This sounds like the Modes line in the Subsection Display may not have the right settings. The manual/CD for the monitor should have the right settings. I would compare those against what the configuration process generated and manually edit if needed. Why the difference between FC4 and CentOS, I can't guess. Comparing the CentOS and Fedora Xorg.0.log I found that the actual modelines are just slightly different. Assuming that this difference might actually be important, I took the known-to-work modeline from Fedora's Xorg.0.log, copy-paste it in CentOS xorg.conf and forcing X to use that. But the result is the same. I only run CentOS on servers, but when I got my widescreen monitor at work, I couldn't get the full resolution with the X that came with OpenSuSE 10.3. Only OpenSuSE 11 works. Too bad that printing doesn't work in OpenSuSE 11 anymore My take: the X-server makes some assumptions that are not true for widescreen hardware and throws away the modelines it gets (because it thinks they won't work). Seems to have been fixed with later X releases (or patches). For desktop-use, there's little alternative to Ubuntu/OpenSuSE/Fedora and re-installing every couple of months (and living with new and surprising bugs every release). FWIW, here is a section from /etc/X11/xorg.cong on a working 22 inch widescreen workstation running 1680x1050.

Do an rpm verify on all installed packages (excluding configs), reinstall the rpms that fail the verify. Find all binaries that are not accountable in rpm and nuke them.

Keep an eye on the system for a while to make sure you haven't missed anything. Keep LVM snapshots of your OS LVs. I'd Frank Cox' - you can't trust anything on the system now (e.g. how can you be sure that the rpm, bash, ls, ps binaries and various kernel modules haven't been replaced to hide some processes and files? That the boot loader haven't been tweaked to run some snooper or who knows what?) The only benefit of investigating the current system is in learning what went wrong, report bugs and maybe change configuration in the reinstalled system, but other than that you shouldn't allow one bit of it to touch a CPU, so to speak. --Amos I agree. Drives have been removed for evidence preservation and that machine will be rebuilt. I do appreciate all the suggestions which increases my knowledge level and hopefully I'll lock it down a bit tighter next time. BTW, traced the culprit IP to Romania. Thanks again. B.J.

Re: [CentOS] Linux PDA/smartphone sync?

I currently use a motorola V710 phone, which allows me to sync my contacts and calendar, which is all I need. I may change it soon, so I'd like to know what is best to work with linux (I use evolution right now, connected to an exchange (eventually scalix) server). I'm trying to get moto4linux to work, but I'm not even sure if I'll be able to sync my calendar + contacts with this. Any advice? Regards, I have used Palm Treo 650 and 680 with CentOS 4.x and 5 as well as Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10. All sync Contacts and Calander nicely with Evolution. YMMV. B.J.

Re: [CentOS] Unable to POST after suspend
On Tue, 2007-09-11 at 13:19 +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have one idea that may work. Try seeing if your bios supports a bios upgrade floppy (it would say so in the owners manual). Now by bios upgrade floppy I don't mean the usual type that use an os. There are some that the bios will directly read from without an os being used. The concept is to recover from failed bios upgrades. The reason I suggest this is because I think the setting that's keeping your system off is hiding in your bios' acpi table and I don't think a bios reset will dump it, but a bios upgrade might. My motherboard do support such BIOS upgrades (really nice since it's OS independent) but you need to get to the POST before you can ask it to search for the floppy. But it won't power on at all. The CPU FAN doesn't start, the disk doesn't rotate, the monitor doesn't get any signal. The only thing that indicates the slightest sign of life is the LED on the motherboard and my keyboard if I press Num Lock. Is there something on the motherboard I can disconnect to reset the ACPI table? Seems to me there is room to suspect a hardware issue instead of acpi. I would confirm power supply connector to mainboard by removing and reinserting until properly seated. Also would confirm two wires from power button on case/chassis are correctly connected to proper pin terminals at edge of mainboard. If still no joy, would swap a known good power supply. If that fails, you might try removing the power switch leads from the pin terminal strip and use a phillips screwdriver blade or other appropriate tool to short the proper pins momentarily to start the beast. I have replaced three bad power switches in the recent few years, so they do fail. Cheers, B.J.
