It was pretty much (after having installed the nvidia drivers from NVidia) nvidia-uninstall to get rid of what I'd downloaded. Then yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=elrepo-testing install kmod-nvidia which pulls in the driver as well, of course. The first time I tried it, there seemed to be a module mismatch, perhaps from cruft left around from a previous NVidia install, along the lines of conflict between 185.31 and 185.36 or something similar. After clearing out the old NVidia (vs. nv) modules, that were left after this older install/uninstall, the above solution worked well, and is, of course, easier. Main advantage, I think is the kmod part, so that if one plays around with different kernels, it should be taken care of--in theory at least haven't tried different kernels yet. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Anya: This isn't a relationship.

It has a a few things specific to their setup, though. They have multiple subnets. They provide IP addresses only for defined machines; They must have a separate mechanism for other machines.

The problem is - according to sun - the IO-APIC-emulation: On 32-bit-systems this io-apic-emulation (needed for passing interrupts between CPUs) has to use a full software-context-switching - making things slow. I tried recreating the problem with CentOS 5 64 Bit as VM, two CPUs: no problem With CentOS 5 32 Bit as VM: same problem. I guess some problems with multi-cpu-VMs using 32-bit-operating-systems on a 64-bit hardware are related to this - no matter if you are using xen (fully virtualized), VirtualBox or VMWare.

Lo cual es completamente correcto ya que con un sniffer, no veo rastro alguno de la opción x-dcc-server en los paquetes de oferta de este servidor. He probado poner la sentencia option x-dcc-server true (y su variante con on) en los ámbitos global, de red y de host en la configuración del server, pero no aparece nada. ¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?

Hola, pienso que puede ser que tengas filtrado o cerrado el puerto 1, que es el que por defecto utiliza webmin, no obstante que mencionas que ya revisaste las reglas iptables. Desde la propia máquina no va a tener dificultad de acceso, pero en el caso de otras máquinas de la lan o desde internet no podrás acceder, si esto no esta comprobado y configurado.

hola mira, la gente de centos prefiere tenerlo todo dentro de centos.org y así se controlan mejor las cosas. Es mejor para evitar tener que coordinar con diversos admins. están planeando es.centos.org la idea es ir traduciendo los contenidos. Tienen un wiki en español que se puede llenar. sobre el irc, tienen en irc.freenode.net tienen un canal: #centos-es al que pueden entrar, casi siempre anda vacío. Ahora mismo sólo hay 4 personas en el chat. Sería bueno si podemos activar es.centos.org para ya comenzar a editar (andaban probando con fr) y si algunos de uds pueden tomar la posta y seguir editando el wiki en español para mejorarlo aún más... pienso saludos Hola, agradezco tu opinión. Estuve mirando el wiki en español (http://wiki.centos.org/es) y va bastante avanzado, hace tiempo que no lo visitaba, pero me refería más a una especie de portal de CentOS en español.

Re: [CentOS] abnormal freezes
Hey, attila.ma...@orange-ftgroup.com wrote: I’m having a linux box running with Centos 5.3 x86 (kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen) which is freezing time to time and can’t login neither trough console. The only thing what I can do, to pass the situation is to power off/on the pc. The pc is used only as a torrent server running with transmission 1.74. There are days when 400GB data traffic goes through the pc, and there are days when after 50Mb freezes. What I checked: - Network card doesn’t show any error (netstat –in) - /var/log/messages (nothing serious is mentioned) - Router logs (nothing) - temperature (sensors show normal parameters, which are true measured manually also) Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot the situation, what I’m missing ? A way to get more information about the situation is to increase the kernel log level and attach a serial console to the host. /usr/src/linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt helps. Next when you get the state you can request the system /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt, I mean you can print out the active processes and the kernel log buffer. Afterwards send the logs right back to the list, maybe we can then help further. I’m thinking that there may be some hardware issues, but the thing was running fine for 1 month, and didn’t do much beside yum update on it. If you think of a hardware issue, you should run memcheck. Afterwards you should stress the remaining lower bandwidth subsystems of the host.

[CentOS] Problems with Adobe flash-plugin and Firefox-3.5.x under CentOs-5.3 (yum up to date)
Hi, I am running 32-bit Firefox-3.5.3 on Centos-5.3 (64-bit kernel) on a Dell Precision M65 laptop. This is likely a Adobe problem, but maybe someone else has seen this before. Please CC me, as I only receive the digest version of the list. When using the 10.0.32.18-release version of the flash-plugin, trying to access *any* page containing flash (e.g. www.adobe.com) causes the browser to die. This also happens with version 10.0.22.87. Version 9.0.115.0 works fine. To avoid problems with add-ons, Firefox is started with -safe-mode. As far as I know, the problem also happens with Firefox-3.0.x. # uname -a Linux l6g0223j 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 08:21:56 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # rpm -q flash-plugin flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release Any idea?

[CentOS] Opinions on bonding modes?
I am working on setting up an NFS server, which will mainly serve files to web servers, and I want to setup two bonds. I have a question regarding *which* bonding mode to use. None of the documentation I have read suggests any mode is better than other with the exception of specific use cases (e.g. switch does not support 802.3ad, active-backup). Since my switch *does* support 802.3ad, including layers 2,3 and 4 hashing, should I use mode=4? Or would one of the other modes be better for providing fail-over and link-aggregation, specifically balance-tlb or balance-alb. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Or would one of the other modes be better for providing fail-over and link-aggregation, specifically balance-tlb or balance-alb. Use 802.3ad, also if performance is really an issue I'd suggest setting up two networks on the NFS server one with standard frame sizes and the other with jumbo frames, and directly connect systems that need higher throughput to a dedicated VLAN(s) running jumbo frames. Also note that link aggregation will not increase throughput between hosts, i.e. if you have 1 host talking to 1 server you will not get higher throughput with link aggregation, what link aggregation will do is allow many hosts to communicate to a single host with higher aggregate throughput. If you want faster, simpler single-stream throughput go with 10GbE, good quality line rate 10GbE switches are very cost effective these days, probably 90%+ cheaper than 10GbE was 5-6 years ago. Though your likely going to need a lot of disks to be able to come close to saturating even a 1Gbps connection depending on your workload. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi, On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 12:35, Alan McKay alan.mc...@gmail.com wrote: A week or two ago someone mentioned something about using their own home-grown RPMs for managing config info on their boxes. I believe you are referring to my suggestion on a thread discussing creating scripts on the %post section of a kickstart. The suggestion was to use RPMs to manage *scripts* that are deployed to multiple machines, since if you create them from a kickstart it will not be very manageable and if you need to update one of the scripts it will become a mess quite quickly... The only way you can manage config files (for other packages) with a home-built RPM is by scripting the changes in the %post section of the RPM (since you do *not* want your package to own config files of other packages), but that is quite tricky because you want that to work in updates, so you want all your changes to be idempotent if they're not already there. It means, if you are appending to a config file, you must test (with grep?) if you have appended that line before, and only append it if you still did not do it. Other changes can be done with ex which accepts vi-like s///, but it really gets tricky quite easily. The nice side of having home-built RPMs is that you can list all the other packages you need as dependencies of your RPM, so for instance you may have a my-webserver.rpm package that has as dependencies Apache, PHP, etc., and then you can use one short yum command to turn that machine into a webserver. That way, you don't need to work with hundreds of slightly different kickstarts that install machines with different purposes, you only need a couple (mostly for different hardware) and one a machine is installed you only log in to it and use a short yum command to get it up and running with whatever you need the machine to do. I have lots of custom config info and think this would be an ideal way to manage it. Not really, since RPM is good for managing software and not managing config files. What it does well in terms of config files is saying which config file belongs to which package, whether it was updated from the default one provided by the package, and whether it should be replaced when you install a new version of that package. Managing your custom config files for multiple machines in RPMs is not a good idea. Others mentioned puppet and CF engine which probably have their merits as well. But I don't really have time at the moment to learn those. Perhaps in this thread we could even discuss the +/- of each method. Well, those are certainly the best tools to manage config files. Another alternative would be setting up an rsync server from where you download your config files to all servers, that way you edit once and copy them everywhere you need them, but that is certainly more manual than what puppet can do.

But I don't really have time at the moment to learn those. Perhaps in this thread we could even discuss the +/- of each method. It depends on the scale your working on, as others mentioned it's a bad idea to use RPM to manage config files. At the most simple level you could store your config files in a central location and use rsync over ssh or scp to copy them to your various servers using key-based authentication. For my own systems(about half a dozen) I manage them by hand, they all run Debian. Not much time is spent. For my work systems(about 350 or so), I use a combination of kickstart for the initial installation and installation of some core services, and cfengine for the rest. CFengine parses the host names of the systems and dynamically adds most servers to all of the classes that they need to be in to function, this works for about 99% of the systems out there, the rest have one-off type configurations so need to be manually added into a cfengine class(text file). Each major class has a config file associated with it, which includes everything for that class, whether it is config files, or RPMs etc. The agent runs hourly and checks/applies the configs or packages that is not present. CFengine(unlike puppet I believe) doesn't have fancy dependency handling so initially we need to either force run it 3 times, or let it run by itself 3 times in order to get everything it needs. There is one kickstart config per OS type: centos 4.6 32-bit centos 4.6 64-bit centos 5.2 32-bit centos 5.2 64-bit fedora 8 32-bit (virtualized NTP services only) everything in kickstart is as generic as possible. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Securely backing up Linux machines to NAS?
At 10:42 PM 9/11/2009, you wrote: I have been tasked with having a Buffalo Terastation Pro 2 NAS box, likely to be connected to a Linux box via samba, be the storage device to back up mostly Ubuntu and Centos systems. The trick is, the machines to be backed up need to do so in an automated fashion and make a secure, encrypted connection to my Linux box hosting the NAS. The NAS does have SSL enabled for web admin access, though the same login credentials are used to authenticate the Linux host via samba to the NAS. So what are the simplest options to back up the Linux hosts? rsync does come to mind, but how to do so securely from each host?

Ideas are welcome. You mention that you want to use encryption to upload the files to the NAS and for that you would like to use an encrypted protocol (something over SSL or SSH). However, by doing that the files on the NAS side would still be unencrypted, and anyone having access to it would have access to all your backup files (I don't know if that is an important security consideration for you). Another alternative would be using a backup software that would create an encrypted backup image and then upload it to the NAS. That way you may do the upload using an unencrypted protocol (like FTP or CIFS which seem to be the ones that your NAS supports) and even if someone hacks your NAS they would not be able to access your backed up files. One software that does exactly that is Duplicity: http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ It certainly supports FTP for the upload, I believe it should support Samba as well.

[CentOS] problem installing CentOS 5.3
I have a small fixed ip network at home, running red hat 9 on two amd k6 500 Mhz boxes. One has 256 M memory and the other 320 M. They pretty much meet my needs, but lately I have detected that the internet sites I frequent are requiring some more modern software than I can run. I attempted to install Fedora 8, but that failed on the AMD processors. So I ordered a set of CentOS 5.3 i386 disks. The CentOS install fails also. I could get the first screen up, offering choices of how to boot, and if I asked for memtest86 that would start. (I had verified memory earlier, during my F8 attempts). However, any other choice resulted in a reboot (generally during loading of vmlinux). Sometimes the disk wouldn't be recognized as bootable. I have convinced myself that the disks are OK (see below) and that I must need either better hardware or more memory (but this is the i386 version of CentOS 5.3) or some parameter on the install that I haven't tried (and I've tried about all I have found or remember). I would appreciate any help. What I've done so far: At first I thought that the CentOS 1of6 disk must be bad (couldn't even run a mediacheck) and emailed the vendor. Then it occurred to me that I could perhaps download and burn disk 1of6 and use that to get the install started. (Up until my attempts at F8 I had not had the capability to burn a CD. While trying with F8 I bought a used intel inside computer with a broken XP system on it. I blew that away but F8 found problems with the hard disk and wouldn't install. I managed to install RedHat 9, which gave me access to the CD). I reaized that the process would be a bit iffy on a box with hard-disk problems, and also I had never burned a cd, but googled around for instructions and plunged in. I downloaded an ios, checked it with md5sum and it was OK. I copied it to the new computer via NFS and checked it again: OK. I burned a CD using cdrecord, and the burn appeared to work. The result behaved much like the original had. I tried two more times, varying stuff that I thought might affect the burn, and always got the same sort of behavior. Finally I tried mounting (on a RH9 box) each of the four disks 1of6 I now had and copied (from /dev/cdrom rather than /mnt/cdrom, so as to avoid separating out the files) each to a separate directory and compared them. All three that I burned were identical. The store bought disk was a little larger, but compared OK up to EOF on the other (and I recall reading that mass-produced disks might be different in their padding). So I am convinced now that there is nothing wrong with either the original or recently burned disks 1of6 and the problem must either be requiring better/more hardware (but this is the i386 version of cent OS) or some parameter on the install I have never heard of. Again, any advice would be appreciated. Buz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm going to take a different tack than the others. This _may_ be a good idea, depending on your situation. We have been using it very effectively for delivering a tightly controlled set of configs during the build process. Puppet/cfengine etc are out because we are not allowed to leave a process running on the server after install (we don't manage the boxes, we just design the build). The 'customers' each have their own system management ideas... Additionally, by using rpms we can nonintrusively and quickly determine what a system that has been 'out in the wild' started as (via the rpm versions), what has been changed (via rpm -V) and whether the content is ours (via the signing key), without installing an agent, etc. We can also add our content to servers that are 'forklifted' into the environment very quickly (yum -c http://patth_to_repo_file install master_rpm). As someone else pointed out, we have to do some extra work to detect whether we are running at build time, as an install, or as an upgrade, but we have that figured out for our environment and stashed into our spec file templates. In an environment where I had to manage the servers as well, then puppet or cfengine or Red Hat Satellite/Spacewalk, etc, etc would definitely be in the mix. -- Jim Wildman, CISSP, RHCE j...@rossberry.com http://www.rossberry.com Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

Wory should continue only if you see activity counter to desires/expectations. It should not be bolstered by an (apparent) lack of activity as that is only the results of necessary behind-the-scenes machinations, delays as multiple responsibilities compete for time and attention, etc. Of course, if *extended* periods (depending on your level of subservience to the immediate gratification impulse) occurs, then one should rationally switch modes to worry again. To the Centos crew, you should have patience with the occasional users that are unable to exercise such patience because, as we all know, there is nothing more worrisome or louder than an extended silence.

[CentOS] SUMMARY : Repair Filesystem prompt , after inode has illegal blocks ; qla2xxx message on reboot
hi All, thanks for the responses. After being dropped into the # Filesystem repair prompt, ( on account of inode 27344909 has illegal blocks ) following warm reboot (via reboot) after finding (SAN ) filesystem in read-only mode yesterday morning (possibly because of HBA fault on SAN) , I ran fsck -r /data (Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 , Red Hat 4.1.2-42 , ext3 filesystem) This took a couple of hours or so , prompting me for various changes all of which I accepted. This appeared to complete OK, but then the system would not boot, with the following error from the qla2xxx driver. . . qla2xxx :05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occurred. Scheduling ISP abort. qla2xxx :05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occurred. Scheduling ISP abort. . etc However after powering down the system and cold-booting, the system was able to boot up and mount the repaired filesystem without any obvious damage, but with abnormal not to mention scary looking boot messages and ongoing warnings from multipath. This morning (as I sort of expected) the filesystem had dropped back down to read-only mode, but meanwhile the source of our woes was identified, a fibre port on the SAN controller which was degraded but not completely failed, so that there had been no clean failover to the twin controller, and therefore a degraded virtual device was presented to the O/S, with consequence for the filesystem. After that port and controller was quarantined, this time around I did a cold power-off reboot of the server , and this time there was a more normal looking boot and the filesystem came up normally without any repair being requested. (My hypothesis is that in this situation - i.e. ext3 filesystem has put itself in read-only mode - a warm boot , via reboot, does not cleanly remount the filesystem and apply the journal quite like a cold power-off reboot does. I think it is likely that the lengthy session of me answering yes to fsck's interactive repair, the first time around, simply applied all of the fixes that would automatically have been done from the journal , had I cold-rebooted in the first place. However that is only a hunch. But I will be making sure to do cold power-off reboots in general, in future.) Another lesson is that a sophisticated system of twin SAN controllers with failover does not protect against a situation where a device is degrading rather than failing completely. Thanks again for the responses and sorry if my questions were a bit basic but I have been dropped in a little out of my depth with this system.
