 Are you telling me that trojan  manipulated webmail account??? Hm, I 
 think it might be Chat client (Live  Messenger, Yahoo, etc.) rather then 
 mail client itself, in that  case.

[CentOS] lvremove failed on install

2011-03-28 Thread Steven Vishoot
Hello,

I was trying to install CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD tonight and kept on getting 
this 
same error and i have no idea what is causing this annoyance and not letting me 
complete the install because as soon as this error is produced it says this a 
bug and should be filed. Before I file a bug report i would like to know if 
anyone else ran into this and would mind pointing me in the right direction or 
a 
link to the solution.

The full output is: http://pastebin.com/eEYZigrz 
i am hoping someone would be able to help, because i have no clue what is going 
on except that it is failing on trying to remove a volume group.

Thanks

Steven

Re: [CentOS] Can't umount flash drive because an application has it locked

 Subject: [CentOS] Can't umount flash drive because an application has it 
 locked
 
 This occasionally happens to me when I've been editing an OOo document
that 
 resides on a flash drive I use with one of my laptops.  I've
tried 
 poking around in ps to find out which process has the drive
locked, and I 
 can't figure it out.  Nothing directly refers to the
flash drive except 
 one of the hald processes, and it's just scanning
the drive (I tried killing 
 that and it made no difference).

My usual sequence of events is as 
 follows:

1. Plug in the flash drive.
2. Wait for it to appear on the 
 desktop.
3. Start up a terminal window (which recognizes the flash drive 
 and
runs sudo to allow execute permissions on the drive).
4. Run the 
 script that unzips the files I want.
5. Open the file with the OO writer, 
 edit it for a while, then save
and close it.
6. Update the zip archive (on 
 the flash drive).
7. Close the terminal window.
8. Umount the drive, which 
 fails.

I've tried waiting for as much as five minutes, running sync 
 -
nothing.  The last three times this happened, I had to shut down 
 the
laptop (which I was going to do anyway) in order to free the 
 flash
drive.  This takes several minutes, which can be precious when I 
 need
to bag the laptop in a hurry.

There's nothing in any of the 
 syslogs.  The laptop was just updates to
the LG CentOS 
 5.5.

What am I 
 missing?

Thanks.

mhr

to me it sounds like the zip program is culprit since it might still holding 
onto the flash file system. did you try fuser -l on the flash drive and see 
what has a hold on it. just a thought.

still showing as degraded saying: raid1: raid set md6 active with 1 out of 2 
mirrors with this message on all the raids.i know i am wrong by saying this but

  Where did you see the QA requirements for the packages

 I didn't. But since you say that there is a reason for
 them to be in testing, I then assumed the reason was
 testing. But then, the activity usually called testing
 is part of a process usually called Quality Assurance.
 
 But hey, maybe I am way to stupid to match your geniality!
 
  Also, why are you ignoring what has already 
  been said to you about the repo and the target 
  audience its aimed at ?
 
 *What* exactly has been said and by whom?
 I only saw you inferring what it's *not* aimed at:
 people who don't like things in testing.
 
 As I said, and as everyone on this list knows: 
 KB is not a person to talk with. Usually, KB would
 throw offensive assertion to people. No matter 
 what KB would say, and no matter how important is
 KB to the CentOS project, a quick search through 
 the centos ML archives would show that KB is not 
 someone easy to deal with.
 
 Probably I should stop posting to this list. I only
 mentioned KB's repo in the context of packages 
 staying in testing for years.

  just wondering, why would you not want the latest kernel?
 
 Because it will potentially not run as smooth as the kernel version
 shipped by CentOS. While newer kernels typically improve hardware
 support, they also introduce changes that are incompatible with the
 userland utilities provided in CentOS, so these changes may actually
 *break* something that works with an older version...
 
 It's all part of what is called an Enterprise Linux Distribution.
 When you choose such a distribution, you basically accept that some of
 your packages will be somewhat outdated (with backports for security
 issues) but on the other hand you know the components have been more
 tested together than with other bleeding edge distros... If you want
 to run a more updated kernel, you should probably look into Fedora or
 Ubuntu. If you want to run *the* latest kernel, you should probably
 look into Gentoo. However those are admittedly not as stable as
 CentOS/RHEL is.

 excellent, this gives you an opportunity to move from being only a

 start by looking at the code, where it came from, who are the people 
 involved with it, who is writing it, who is releasing it, then work out 
 what the requirements for the software are, and if centos provides those 
 requirements. once you have that info - make a decision or talk to

  My first Burroughs experience was on the B-5500, and it had some
  ``interesting'' quirks.  Using Burroughs extended ALGOL, one could do what
  they called array row writes to very efficiently write large chunks of
  memory with a single hardware command.  The hitch was that if one tried to
  write more than 1024 48bit words, it would crash the entire system, with a
  side effect of losing the accounting information for all running programs,
  which could be useful when paying $750/hour for time sharing :-).
 
 I'm surprised that the bug lasted very long, or did it just go
 unreported? ;)
 
  Are you retired Air Farce?  A fair number of Burroughs field engineers had
  learned the Burroughs equipment in the AF (and could afford to work at BGH
  low pay because of their retirement pay).
 
 No, I was just young and foolish.  Then someone explained that Burroughs
 wanted to get their techs hired away by the customers.  They'd most
 likely continue to support Burroughs equipment, but on someone else's
 nickel.
 
  One might say that I worked for Burroughs too as I debugged their Remote
  Job Entry (RJE) software for Medium systems, including patching MCP,
  because the company I worked for needed it to work.  I talked Burroughs out
  of the source code for RJE and the current version of MCP so that I could
  fix things.  After I sent them the fixes, I never had any problem getting
  anything I asked for.
 
 It's impressive that you managed to talk them out of the source, and
 that you fixed it.
 
  FWIW, the entire source code listing for MCP fit in a single file drawer.
  Reading the comments in the code, it was obvious that a very small group of
  people worked on it which resulted in quite nice integration and
  consistency.
 
 Legend had it that the medium systems MCP was mostly written by one guy
 who lived in a beach house in California with two women.
 
  Can you imagine`Microsoft making the source code for Windows available to a
  small customer for free, and with no NDA so the customer could fix a
  problem that was critical to them?  Even if they supplied the source, do
  you think anybody could figure it out?
 
 Well, I did have a go at their Device Driver kit at one point.
 Convoluted is the first printable word that comes to mind.
 
  One of the most important features of open source software is the
  availability of the source code so people can quickly fix bugs critical to
  them or add features they need.  As an example, in January 2000, groff had
  a y2k problem with dates which I found printing a letter that needed to go
  out.  It took me about 15 minutes to find the problem in the code, fix it,
  and send that patch back to the maintainers.  Imagine how long it would
  take to get a similar problem fixed in M$-Word.
 
 Yes.  Trying to support a black box (It took YEARS before they released
 the source code to the B1xx systems to their support employees outside
 of the plant) made me a firm believer in open source.

  Sounds like I'll be stuck with the tranfer rate

  In that case, it sounds like you need a local

  quickly done before starting upload sync. Then the
 upload can run 24/7.
  How you might want to deal with new updates that
 happen before the
  previous upload finishes is going to be an
 interesting problem.
 
 This is exactly the situation I'm trying to avoid.
 Right now its less than 2GB new/edited images a day
 so the rsync backup 
 finishes before the script runs again.
 But I can't take it for granted that this will
 always be the case.
 Any ideas would be appreciated. What do you mean by
 local staging?
 I'd like the backup to run from 7pm to 7am and then
 if it didn't finish to 
 resume again the next night.
 That way when nothing was added/edited on the
 weekends the backup can catch 
 up.

 I'm attaching yum output here.

Hello Andreas,

pastebin.ca is not a program on your server, it is a
website that you can paste output too and it will give
you a link to paste it to where ever you need to post
the info. This will prevent from having a large email
as you have done. hope this makes sense.

 Due to a bug I found in OOo 2.0, I moved to using
 OOo 2.3, back when I was
 still running CentOS 5.0.
 
 Now that I have upgraded to 5.1, yum wants to update
 my OOo from 2.3 BACK to

 Is it possible to get yum to recognize that 2.3 is
 newer than 2.0, or should
 I just exclude OOo from the updates?

 Look at the --include-from and --exclude-from

 explains the format
 for include/exclude files. Generally, you can use
 the --exclude-from
 option to set up both includes and excludes by using
 + and - notation
 in your pattern file.
 
 So your pattern file might be something like:
 
 + /dir1
 + /dir2
 + /dir3

 You'll have to play with it some. I use this
 technique to do a
 selective rsync of the CentOS repository for local
 yum access.
 
 Although, there's no reason the ' for i in /dir1
 /dir2 /dir3'
 shouldn't work. Start debugging your script without
 the loop, just
 rsync /dir1 and get that working, then add more.

  I have one idea that may work.  Try seeing if
 your bios supports a bios upgrade floppy (it would

 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?
 

 I would try removing all cards from the PCI slots,
 disconnect the IDE 
 cables and any other I/O than might be connected and
 try it that way. 
 Obviously, it won't go very far w/o a keyboard and
 you won't be able to 
 see much w/o a video card but it SHOULD stay powered
 on.  An old PCI 
 video card might be nice to try, in the event that
 power will stay on 
 with all I/O pulled.  Also, you might try using
 different memory -- or 
 try the original memory in another box.  Also, if
 you've been inside the 
 box already, it might be worthwhile to turn that
 baby upside down and 
 shake and/or jar it, just in case you dropped a
 screw or washer 
 somewhere inside.

[CentOS] Random Reboots

2007-09-05 Thread Steven Vishoot
Hello,

I am noticing that my server is randomly
rebooting,(since i have keeping an eye on it, the
server has rebooted two or three times in the last
week before this i am not sure how long this has been
going on) has anyone else experience any troubles with
kernel 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp. I am going to try to use
the previous kernel to see if i still having these
problems but still wondering if i am only one that is
having this creep up on. 

my other question where can i look (logs, files,
Directories) or something to install to see what is
causing these reboots.

thanks for all your wise wisdom.

 Hi,
 
 Have you configured autofs to mount the appropriate

 If not you need to ensure autofs is started and
 ensure you have 
 something similar to
 
 /home  auto.home in /etc/auto.master where auto.home

 Good Luck
 
  - Samba: Ideally, I think if I can get NIS/NFS
 working fine, it would 
  make sense that when Windows users log in (I've
 gotten samba to permit 
  the XP systems to be added to samba with samba
 acting as the PDC), 
  they log into their UNIX accounts.  But, upon
 attempted login, Windows 
  produces the famed small alert window saying
 Roaming Profiles cannot 
  be located, Windows is creating a temporary
 environment that will not 
  be saved upon logout.
 
  What is the magical Samba config/line to permit
 Samba/domain logins to 
  read from the server's UNIX side and give the
 Windows domain user 
  their UNIX home directory for login, and have
 their UNIX home 
  directory as a mapped drive (effectively their

 I have not run into any problems using 64bit as my

 the only
 modification).  I do this both at home and at
 work.  Granted, I use
 Fedora 7 on both of them, but there is no reason why
 you couldn't get
 the same functionality using CentOS.  I'm not afraid
 of compiling or
 rebuilding RPMs though.  Between Karanbir's RPM
 repository
 ( http://centos.karan.org ) and EPEL
 ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL ) I imagine
 that you could have a
 fairly complete desktop OS (I just prefer more
 bleeding-edge
 software/features).
