Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 Update?
Below, please find much praise for the developers who really deserve it! On Sunday, April 10, 2011 03:24:22 AM Johnny Hughes wrote: The goal of the centos project is to produce an RPM that is exactly like the upstream RPM in every way that is legally possible. The checks we do look at libraries that binaries link to, size of the packages and a list of the files the RPM installs. We would like for all RPMS to be 100%, some (like the example above) are not able to be linked against the same environment. Upstream sometimes uses non released gcc's for compiling or they sometimes build with non-released kernels or non released glibc's etc. In those cases, we will do the best we can. We do check these issues as part of the QA process and we do address each one that we can. The first distro I used that wasn't directly from Red Hat was White Box Enterprise Linux. It worked well, until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, and from that day forward, not much happened. =/ After several dry runs in a sandbox environment, I switched my (then, one) production server to CentOS. It was hard to believe that all I had to do was switch a few RPMS. That same server and software image is still in production to this day! Times have changed, my needs have changed with them. I now have some 20 production servers, all still running CentOS 4. Updates have been timely, and the servers have been incredibly stable. Our primary cluster has sustained much better than 99.99% uptime for years, a combination of good quality, white label hardware, (usually SuperMicro) appropriate redundancy, careful software design, and CentOS that holds up very well in the real world. In truth, I wish that RedHat had a $5/month option like they did originally. It was cost-effective, and I never wanted or needed additional support. But the obscene amounts Red Hat currently wants for their Enterprise line is a non- starter for an organization the size of mine. So, CentOS has been a life-saver for me! It's rock-solid stable, security is excellent, and the quality shows every single day as I serve millions of hits on our extensive, web-based application with confidence and flair. The wait for EL 6 has only been a nail-biter because Red Hat took so long to release RHEL 6 in the first place. (I waited almost 2 years before there was an EL 6 beta to play with!) I look forward to a complete rollout/replacement of all my EL4 servers with EL6 as soon as it's available and suitable regression testing has taken place, with the task hopefully complete by Christmas 2011. I wish to offer my deepest thanks and appreciation to a job well done to the developers and administrators of the CentOS project.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 Update?
On Sunday, April 10, 2011 12:02:52 PM Christopher J. Buckley wrote: It does - to an extent. Red Hat has a policy of releasing a major release every 18-24 months (I know RHEL-6 has slipped outside of this window), A total of 3 years, 8 months of time elapsed between EL5 and EL6. That's well over 2x 18 months, and only 4 months shy of 2x the 24 month part of their timetable. Their reasons for this large delay are, no doubt, significant. They had every financial incentive to release RHEL 6 years ago, but they didn't. This fact bespeaks an intense amount of integrity which I, for one, admire, respect, and appreciate. This same integrity is something I've come to expect from CentOS, as well. Let's be fair; Red Hat exists to make money, to which they are entitiled. But they've done a wonderful job supporting the spirit and letter of the GPL in their RHEL and related software projects. I'm not sure there is an open-source software company in existence that releases more high quality, open source software for use by the general public. Whatever we can say about Red Hat, if we really didn't like the results of their efforts, we wouldn't be here, now would we? -Ben -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I am not having any gnome-panel issues and I do not use Evolution, so not sure about that. There are no issues reported where the glibc is affecting non X clients. Evolution, the work-around for me is to issue the pkill gnome-panel command. Usually doing this once will fix it, but sometimes it requires a couple shots. I dual-boot into Linux Mint 10 (so I can remotely support my father who uses Linux Mint -- I need to be able to replicate his errors when he has them). It has a very similar issue, except, in its case, both Nautilus and Gnome-Panel do not come up. I have to go to a tty terminal and issue the pkill nautilus and pkill gnome-panel commands. I didn't have this problem *until* I updated the video driver to nVidia's proprietary one. So, again, it appears it might have something to do with the nVidia's driver. Hmmm. Proprietary drivers are something I avoid... At any rate, there are work-arounds -- for those who use Evolution, the SL update is probably the best. I'm kind of surprised that Red Hat has not issued a fix yet. I have built the SL version of glibc for i386/i686 and the one for x86_64 is building now.

I wonder why (and where) rpmbuild on centos sets LANG to something different. I can tell that OpenSuse 11.x does not modify LANG in rpmbuild as I'm porting a package from there. All RPMs are built with LANG=C ... you will need to set it yourself if you want something else. Several packages need LANG=C to build correct, which is why utf8 is overridden.

If I read the upstream advisory https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0433.html correctly this update contains a fix for a single vulnerability for xrdb. No other binaries are affected. All it does is replace a vulnerable but functional binary with a non functional version causing the Xresources not to be loaded. Also the exclude option I suggest is version specific, which means you do not run the risk of not receiving future updates of this package. Thanks for putting the info for this package on the list.

Re: [CentOS] kernel panic on 5.6
Maybe the quickest way to find out is to install manually via PXE. Use the same disk structure etc. you use in the kickstart, stay as close as possible. If that succeeds compare the kickstart log for that install with your kickstart file. It's possible that you have some directive in there that wasn't 100% correct, but failed gracefully before and now it doesn't. I assume you have already watched one of the failing kickstart installs to rule out any missing files or other glitches that would be visible on the install screen that runs thru? I also assume that you at least verified that the partitions are there and filled with reasonably looking files. my /etc/grub.conf looks fine it doesn't contain the boot config.

If I understand correctly, there have been a handful of updates prior to the release of CentOS 5.6 for the 5.x series — but nothing else. So, if you consider timely updates a requirement for “enterprise-class,” we can count CentOS out now.

There are four CVEs closed by this glibc update, one of which is potentially a remote privilege escalation (and that one is NOT the one that is causing the issue). If, for some reason, you cannot update then you should seriously consider whether or not those systems can connect to the Internet, or if you should get the glibc from Scientific Linux that has the 3 patches that do not cause an issue in the meantime. For clarification, this bug is only known to be affecting Evolution and Gnome-Panel, correct? If so, for most servers, the update should not be a concern. I've updated four desktops -- the two with Intel video chips are not affected at all. The two with nVidia chipsets and proprietary nVidia drivers *are* affected. Since I don't use Are only the nVidia chipsets + *proprietary* nVidia drivers? And only Evolution and Gnome-Panel? And is it 32-bit AND 64-bit or only 32-bit (or only 64-bit)? I have a batch of 32-bit diskless workstations, powered by a 32-bit server (all but one uses an Intel video chip, and the last is something else -- not nVidia), one regular workstation (don't think it is nVidia either). A 32-bit laptop with a ATI video chip and a 64-bit desktop with a nVidia video chip, but NOT the proprietary nVidia driver (I have no use for 3D accel and refuse to mess with nVidia's proprietary drivers). All of these machines are still at CentOS 5.5, but I'd like to update them to 5.6. Oh, the laptop and the 64-bit workstation are *my* machines and *I* don't use *any* desktop manager (neither GNome nore KDE) on either machine. Oh, no one uses Evolution on any of these machines (one person uses Thunderbird). I am using this gilbc on my x86_64 laptop with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers (Quadro FX 1800M video on a Dell M4500n laptop). I am not having any gnome-panel issues and I do not use Evolution, so not sure about that. There are no issues reported where the glibc is affecting non X clients. *I* found a new X client that I *guess* is affected: xrdb (which I suspect almost no one actually uses anymore). I get this error from xrdb: sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `' sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file I upgraded my (32-bit) laptop to CentOS 5.6 and now my .Xdefaults file is no longer being loaded. Everything else seems to be working just fine. Once I get to a high speed WiFi hot spot, I'll download the temp fix glibc files and install them and see if that fixes things. Evolution, the work-around for me is to issue the pkill gnome-panel command. Usually doing this once will fix it, but sometimes it requires a couple shots. I dual-boot into Linux Mint 10 (so I can remotely support my father who uses Linux Mint -- I need to be able to replicate his errors when he has them). It has a very similar issue, except, in its case, both Nautilus and Gnome-Panel do not come up. I have to go to a tty terminal and issue the pkill nautilus and pkill gnome-panel commands. I didn't have this problem *until* I updated the video driver to nVidia's proprietary one. So, again, it appears it might have something to do with the nVidia's driver. Hmmm. Proprietary drivers are something I avoid... At any rate, there are work-arounds -- for those who use Evolution, the SL update is probably the best.

I think bash interactive shell is what you want to search for. Have a look at item 6.3.2 at http://durak.org/sean/pubs/software/bash/bashref_25.html (picked up arbitrarily from the search results). I *think* scp uses the shell non-interactively, but test to make sure. Either way, you should have that in bashrc in case there are other non-interactive shells in use (and there usually are).

However wordpress may replace both of them with a separate character, so just don't copy-paste here. Note: Tinker with /usr/java/latest/bin/java if you do not have Java installed at this location. In other words change it to point to the location of your installed Java executable from Sun. 3. Now configure alternatives to select the latest Java executable under /usr/java: /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java Check the version of Java to ensure that it is from Sun: java -version For example, this is the output I get: java version 1.6.0_16″ Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode) Go to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins: cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins ili cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 4.

Unless I'm mistaken there has *always* been a delay in certain patches when the CentOS team is rebuilding the point updates. Again, unless I misunderstand, many of the updates for 5.6 (for example) apply to the packages in the 5.6 updates (not the packages in 5.5). So you would, in effect, be updating files on CentOS that don't yet exist in CentOS. I did notice a few updates before 5.6 came out. I would assume these were critical security updates. I always notice that, once a point update comes out, many patches follow shortly after.

If they want something else, they can get that. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Convert Filesystem to Ext4
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Brandon Ooi said the following on 19/04/11 21:32: Mail servers with high I/O won't get much (if any) of a performance boost. It's an i/o issue not something that ext4 can help you with except possibly a faster fsck if things go down. Things like delayed allocation.. extents.. Don't help with millions of tiny files. Faster drives and hardware raid with write cache. Better if you can have multiple disk sets and spread i/o around. Do you think that under VMware ESXi it would be better or worse to migrate to ext4?
