[CentOS] freenx vs vmware console
After upgrading to 5.2 and the current freenx, when I start the vmware server console (from VMware-server-1.0.6-91891) in the NX client I get Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":1000.0". in the terminal window where vmware was started and a black screen where the console of the virtual machine is supposed to be. Is there a way to make this work? I would normally ssh/freenx/vnc directly to the virtual machine but for the cases that need console access I would much rather use NX with the host machine with the vmware console conneced locally than use the vmware console remotely. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I think you mean "if you want to boot from it, you have to install grub on it". I've done this. It means if the first disk fails, you can then physically remove the failed disk, put the survivor in as the first disk, then boot from that. To install grub to the second disk: # grub > device (hd0) /dev/sdb > root (hd0,0) > setup (hd0) (blah blah blah) Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"… succeeded Done. > quit (or /dev/hdb, or whatever is appropriate). To get back to the OP: I've done a RAID-10 under CentOS, and the problem I encountered was that the kernel wasn't smart enough to assemble the RAID without a properly populated /etc/mdadm.conf file.

It seems Service Pack 3 has been hell for a lot of people, including businesses. Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is incompatible with SP3 yet Microsoft lists it on Microsoft Update for that XP variant for example. Here is my advice for XP users wanting SP3, this advice applies to any service pack install... * _NEVER_ use Microsoft [Windows] Update to install service packs (Use the "IT Professionals" multiple installation bundles) * Don't waste space on uninstallation backups (there are command-line switches to prevent this) * Clean out and turn off System Restore before you do it * Make a slipstreamed XP CD to run a Repair installation should something go badly wrong... This is so barely on topic it's just plain _wrong_, but it's the only thing I can give useful input on based on [bad] experience. That said it's not _that_ offtopic given Xen can run Windows and CentOS includes Xen technology ;-) smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This will require 2 major steps, one to setup and install and the other after installation to create striped OS LV because the installer doesn't let you give options on the LV creation to make it interleaved. 1) Create 100MB or 256MB primary parts on each disk as type MD RAID. 2) Add those 4 partitions to a RAID1 set, make first 2 active and the other 2 spare. 3) Allocate the rest of the drive space on the 4 drives as partition types of MD RAID 4) Create 2 RAID1s, one out of first 2 drives, the other out of the second 2 drives. Make them of type LVM. 5) Create LVM volume group vg0 out of the 2 PVs. 6) Create 2 4 GB LVs in the VG, 1 called swap0, the other called rooti (not a typo cause after boot we will create a root). 7) Install into rooti and reboot 8) After reboot and yum update, create a LV of say 8GB that have the option '-i 2' on the lvcreate so it interleaves the allocation between the two RAID1 PVs, call it 'root' 9) Do a dump/restore of 'rooti' LV to 'root' LV, for care do it in single user so data isn't 'influx'. 10) Change fstab and grub.conf swapping rooti for root, do a 'mkinitrd' for the running kernel and then reboot. 11) Keep in mind older initrd files will still have the old rooti in them! Maybe best to get rid of those kernels... 12) If all works well, do a lvrename of rooti to swap1, do a mkswap on it and add it to fstab with same priority as swap0 and then swapon -a and swap will be interleaved. If you need further explanation on any of those steps just let me know.

[CentOS] lvm errors after replacing drive in raid 10 array
I thought I'd test replacing a failed drive in a 4 drive raid 10 array on a CentOS 5.2 box before it goes online and before a drive really fails. I 'mdadm failed, removed', powered off, replaced drive, partitioned with sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb, and finally 'mdadm add'ed'. Everything seems fine until I try to create a snapshot lv. (Creating a snapshot lv worked before I replaced the drive.) Here's what I'm seeing. # lvcreate -p r -s -L 8G -n home-snapshot /dev/vg0/homelv Couldn't find device with uuid 'yIIGF9-9f61-QPk8-q6q1-wn4D-iE1x-MJIMgi'. Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group vg0. Volume group for uuid not found: I4Gf5TUB1M1TfHxZNg9cCkM1SbRo8cthCTTjVHBEHeCniUIQ03Ov4V1iOy2ciJwm Aborting. Failed to activate snapshot exception store. So then I try # pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md3 VG Name vg0 PV Size 903.97 GB / not usable 3.00 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 231416 Free PE 44536 Allocated PE 186880 PV UUID yIIGF9-9f61-QPk8-q6q1-wn4D-iE1x-MJIMgi Subsequent runs of pvdisplay eventually returns nothing. pvck /dev/md3 seems to restore that but creating a snapshot volume still fails. It's as if the "PV stuff" is not on the new drive. I (probably incorrectly) assumed that just adding the drive back in to the raid array would take care of that. I've searched quite a bit but have not found any clues. Any one? -- Thanks, Mike ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You don't (*). I don't understand John's advice here. There is no problem md mirroring /boot. You just need to install grub a second time on the other disk. For that you have to boot from it. (I think I also did it successfully without booting from the other disk in the past, but last time I tried it it didn't want to work like I remembered it should.)

I recall from prior posts that you are using Informix, is that right? Recent versions of Informix implement the O_DIRECT flag for disk I/O so raw devices are not needed For our Informix installation, we point the server directly at the /dev/sd* devices. The one trick is to create a file in /etc/udev/permissions.d that sets the permissions for the disk devices at boot. # cat /etc/udev/permissions.d/40-informix.permissions sdb5:informix:informix:0660 sdb6:informix:informix:0660 sdb7:informix:informix:0660 # -- Jeff ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Are you sure you want to do that? from the raw manpage: WARNING Although Linux includes support for rawio, it is now a deprecated interface. If your application performs device access using this interface, Red Hat encourages you to modify your application to open the block device with the O_DIRECT flag. The rawio interface will exist for the life of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, but is a candidate for removal from future releases. What database server are you using that your wanting to use raw for? My only experience with raw devices and databases is with Oracle 10G and Automatic Storage Management(ASM). In that case Oracle's stuff handles all of the direct I/O without needing anything to do with /dev/raw, infact I've explicitly disabled the raw service on all of my servers because I've never needed it. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Difficulties with Seamonkey plugins on 5.2
Has anyone else noticed this? I've been running a self-built, working 64-bit version of Seamonkey's 2.01a pre-release (alpha) version for the last six or seven months (because the "contributed" unofficial 64-bit build didn't work right and the official 32-bit release crashed all the time), and it's been working relatively well until recently, particularly in the area of plugins. After updating to CentOS 5.2, I noticed that the flash plugin didn't work right. This might be due to a major change in nspluginwrapper - it is now included in the CentOS (RHEL) release, as opposed to being a download from rpmforge. Problem is - it doesn't seem to work right. My flash plugin does not work. At all. There was a new official release of Seamonkey (1.1.10) with an available contributed 64-bit build (haven't gotten around to the 1.1.11 revision yet), so I though, maybe this time it will work better. I pulled down this revision and installed it. Works great - except for the flash plugin. (Actually, I only know that the acrobat reader plug-in works, but the flash plugin definitely does _not_.) I tried again with 1.1.11 here at work (32-bits) and it seems to work just fine. But, as of this morning at least, my home system absolutely does NOT work with the new nspluginwrapper, and the flash plugin does not work at all. This is true both on the 1.1.10 unofficial contributed 64-bit build, and also my home built 64-bit 2.01pre (with fresh source as of this morning). Does anyone have the new (0.9.91.5) nspluginwrapper working with the flash plugin on a 64-bit install of CentOS 5.2 and Seamonkey? Also, one of the "tricks" I learned with this whole setup was that the simplest way to "install" the plugins was simply to create symbolic links from /usr/lib64/mozlilla/plugins - I think that's right - to the relevant plugins directory. This worked until 5.2, or at least Seamonkey reports that the plugins are installed. (The AR8 plugin has serious problems, haven't gone all the way back to the AR7.9 plugin yet, and I haven't tested the mplayerplug-in yet, but the critical one is the flash plugin because so many web pages have flash videos on them these days.) Suggestions welcome. Thanks. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi Antti, I don't know if you have some reason and must stay at that old kernel, but I advise you get the current 2.6.18-92.1.6 kernel and rebuild. Then you'd have a chance to get your buildid in.

I have an HP laptop with builtin Broadcom wireless. I initially got CentOS 5 working with ndiswrapper, but had to change my access point from shared to open authentication (WEP) and found that ndiswrapper fails to authtenticate in the latter configuration. The default bcm43xx module handles the open authentication OK, but I experience a lot of lost and duplicated packets -- experiments with ping show up to 30% failure some of the time. (I should update the HP ze5300 wiki page with this info.) I have to plug in to a wired net to do package updates. I have other wireless devices using the same AP with no problems, and the same laptop performs well when booted into Windows, so this appears to be a problem with the bcm43xx drivers.

As someone who has a similar setup to what you are wanting, it sounds like either the route, or a problem with the SRCGW/DSTGW. If your two networks are 192.168.100.0/24 and 192.168.200.0/24 for sites A and B, respectively, with public IPs 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 (respectively, again), then you will want something like the following: Site A ifcfg-ipsec0: TYPE=IPSEC SRCGW=192.168.100.1 DSTGW=192.168.200.1 SRCNET=192.168.100.0/24 DSTNET=192.168.200.0/24 DST=2.2.2.2 Site B ifcfg-ipsec0: TYPE=IPSEC SRCGW=192.168.200.1 DSTGW=192.168.100.1 SRCNET=192.168.200.0/24 DSTNET=192.168.100.0/24 DST=1.1.1.1 You will want to make sure that no NAT'ing is occurring for traffic that wants to flow from site A to B (and vice-versa). I also have a static route set up, as I was having some problems with it automatically setting when the ipsec "interface" was set up. For this example, I'm assuming that both Site A and B have two physical interfaces, eth0 and eth1, that have the public and private addresses. Site A interfaces: eth0: 1.1.1.1 eth1: 192.168.100.1 Site B interfaces: eth0: 2.2.2.2 eth1: 192.168.200.1 Site A route-eth1: 192.168.200.0/24 via 192.168.100.1 Site B route-eth1: 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.200.1 On a closing note, you are correct in observing that there is no longer an "ipsec0" or similar interface. I started to explain why...but it got too long. If you would like a crash course on kernel IPSec behaviour, let me know and I'll write up a short one with some further reading linked.

[CentOS] Q about CentOS-4
I have a client with a server on CentOS-4 and I'm looking to upgrade to latest horde/imp/etc. clearly php 4.3.9-xx is not up to the task but I see that upgrades for php & mysql are in CentOS-Plus I see that CentOS-4 projects to get security updates until 3/2012 which probably is the usefulness of the hardware itself. So my questions... - Will CentOS-Plus maintain the php/mysql packages until then? - The upgrade to mysql-5...do I have to nuke the db and reload from backup or is there a possibility that the upgrade and subsequent restart of mysql will update the database stuff itself (of course I'm gonna do a complete dump of mysql data before attempting)?

you can build on CentOS by executing:
tar xvzf hipl.tar.gz
cd hipl--main--2.6

("make install" works too, but installs to /usr/local by default)
Software requirements are listed here:

OK ... after several changes to the spec file, I got this to build.
The process was rather intense, so rather than trying to document it I
will post a good SRPM after I verify that all the build requirements
are there and it will also build the same in mock.
So, in a couple minutes expect a link to download a GOOD SRPM for this

You should be able to build that on CentOS-5.x with no problems. Now,
whether it does everything you need, I don't know.
Also be advised that 1.0.3 is the latest stable release from them, and
1.0.4 seems to be something from SVN and not a normal release.

[CentOS] bcm43xx CentOS5
Hi there, i am looking for a bit of advice on how to proceed with a wee problem that i am having. I have a BCM4306 pcmcia card (one of the later revisions) that i use to connect to my wpa2 wireless network. This is running on an old Dell Latitude (circa 1999). I used to use fedora (7,8 and then 9) on this but 2.6.23 and 2.6.25 stopped populating various bits of /proc/acpi with the relevant information for the cpu temp sensor to be read accurately (lm_sensors doesn't detect any sensors either in 2.x or 3.x) so i am reliant on the kernel to do the necessary magic. I had been using bcm43xx then b43 to access the card with the 4.x firmware from openwrt and all was good - speedy responsive etc Got fed up with kernel updates attempting to fry the laptop as i after 2.6.23 i had to replace the mobo (opened bugzilla report, no action taken, not complaining coz hey it's a 440BX-M so is fairly unimportant in the overall scheme of things) So, as every other box in the house now runs CentOS i installed that instead. dl'd the bcm43xx-fwcutter from Karanbir (thanks btw!) cut out the bits from the 3.x firmware from the link on linuxwireless.org, altered modprobe.conf etc. Wireless now works but is *real slow* just for internet access (like minutes for pages to load). ssh, ping etc all good and quick I am wondering if it is because of the old version of BCM43xx that is in the 2.6.18 kernel (never liked softMAC much) or if something else is going on. top occasionally shows me that Xorg is sometimes going to 70-80% of cpu useage. The desktop is always really responsive and apart from the browsing issue which is upsetting my partner loads then CentOS sems ideal for this laptop. I really don't want to go back to using ndiswrapper and wondered if anyone had any pointers other than using another box with which to ssh -Y firefox & Am away from the laptop atm but if any further info is needed, dmesg, lspci etc then i will be able to provide them when i am home this evening (about 5hrs hence) Thanks in advance mike ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] perl bless/overload performance problem
Hello, How do people here handle the situation mentioned in RH bug #379791 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379791)? We have a web site built using Perl Catalyst which warns about this issue. So far we managed to avoid this by not upgrading the perl package handed to us as part of an old Xen image based on CentOS 5.0, but we are now building the Xen guests without this image and generally want to keep our package up to date for security. So - is there another package available to install instead of the CentOS 5.2 version? I tried before to compile the Fedora 9 package from source but despite it being claimed to have it patched it still demonstrated the buggy behaviour (using the sample test code mentioned in the bug report).

Re: [CentOS] Custom CentOS iso's
Tracy R Reed wrote: I have a consulting client who has a Linux based storage appliance which is based on Fedora Core 2. I'll pause here while you laugh... They need to upgrade to something more easily supported and CentOS is the chosen distro. They have the source RPM's for their old system stored in CVS and have a very weird/complicated build system to turn it all into an iso which I am still figuring out. They version control their source rpm's but don't really use CVS version numbers to number their distros. Instead they build an iso and name/number that and then have to keep the iso around forever. I want to go through their CVS, pick out the stuff we want to port to CentOS and trash the rest. And keep it all version controlled at the same time. The current thinking is that we want to get off of CVS and move to Mercurial. Given the above and that we want to customize our CentOS build what is the best way to do that? I am thinking we would like to work with the source rpm's. Putting binaries under version control which can just be built from the source seems silly. If we put the source rpm's and any associated build scripts in version control then given any particular repository version number we should be able to reproduce any installable ISO we created in the past. I am imagining that we will have a huge source tree of exploded SRPMS and we will go through the old CVS and evaluate all of the customizations they made and whichever are worthy can be hacked into the SRPMS, RPM's get built out of these, and an ISO gets built out of the RPM's. We install the SRPMS and move all the tar files out of SVN and into a directory, keeping all the patches and text files in SVN. We put the tarballs in a webdav directory (in a subdirectory under SRPM name) Does all of this sound feasible? yes Does CentOS already have tools for automating a complete iso build from an SRPM repository? No ... we maintain a package tree, and build the ISO from that. For CentOS-5, building an ISO uses the anaconda runtime and the buildinstall command.

[CentOS] Custom CentOS iso's
I have a consulting client who has a Linux based storage appliance which is based on Fedora Core 2. I'll pause here while you laugh... They need to upgrade to something more easily supported and CentOS is the chosen distro. They have the source RPM's for their old system stored in CVS and have a very weird/complicated build system to turn it all into an iso which I am still figuring out. They version control their source rpm's but don't really use CVS version numbers to number their distros. Instead they build an iso and name/number that and then have to keep the iso around forever. I want to go through their CVS, pick out the stuff we want to port to CentOS and trash the rest. And keep it all version controlled at the same time. The current thinking is that we want to get off of CVS and move to Mercurial. Given the above and that we want to customize our CentOS build what is the best way to do that? I am thinking we would like to work with the source rpm's. Putting binaries under version control which can just be built from the source seems silly. If we put the source rpm's and any associated build scripts in version control then given any particular repository version number we should be able to reproduce any installable ISO we created in the past. I am imagining that we will have a huge source tree of exploded SRPMS and we will go through the old CVS and evaluate all of the customizations they made and whichever are worthy can be hacked into the SRPMS, RPM's get built out of these, and an ISO gets built out of the RPM's. Does all of this sound feasible? Does CentOS already have tools for automating a complete iso build from an SRPM repository?

[CentOS] Samba permissions problem
Hi all, I have a permissions problem with a samba share which I really can't fathom out. I'm trying to create a fully group writable share. Easy or so I thought. As you can see from my config I am trying all the options to set files group writable, however when I create a file from the client I'm always getting the mode 0644. Does anyone have a clue why?

Where did you find docs on how to do this? I have set up LVS with piranha but couldn't find anything decent or a tool to set up high availability failover like I did with LVS. All of the cluster suite stuff I read about involves quorums and shared storage etc which is not what I need here. I just need a firewall that will bring up the network gateway address in the event the primary fails.

fred smith napsal(a): Thanks to Johnny and all the others who pointed out the stupid thing I was trying to do. I'll follow the advice to clean up 'list' before trying it again. Fred, besides you can use installonlyn plugin, you can remove old kernel but few like this: if [ $(rpm -q kernel | wc -l) -gt 1 ]; then rpm -e $(rpm -q kernel | sed '$d'); fi if [ $(rpm -q kernel-smp | wc -l) -gt 1 ]; then rpm -e $(rpm -q kernel-smp | sed '$d'); fi etc. David ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Replacing custom kernel with another - with same identifier
Hi list, I just finished building a custom kernel from 2.6.18-53.1.21 source rpm - this time with ISA bus and ISAPNP support which I accidentally left out of my previous attempt. Unfortunately, this time I forgot to change my identifier in kernel-2.6.spec file. Thus I now have one *installed* kernel version *without* ISA support, and another one *with* ISA support but as rpm, not yet installed. Both kernels now have identical identifiers. What is the safe way to remove the previous installed kernel version without taking out the uninstalled new version? Is the latter safe in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS if I use 'rpm -e' to remove the former version? TIA Antti ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] racoon and ipsec issues
I am attempting to create an ipsec tunnel between two CentOS 5.1 systems, network-to-network with two different 192.168.xxx.0/24 LAN segments. I have gone through the documentation on the centos web site, and have the machines to the point where the /var/log/messages show ``IPsec-SA established'' on both machines after runnig ``ifup ipsec0'' (same ipsec0 on each machine). IP forwarding is configured in /etc/sysctl.conf and in the proper /proc ``file''. ``netstat -rn'' shows a reasonable looking route on each machine with the gateway as the private IP for the internal LAN. The iptables on each machine are totally clear with no filters. Attempting to ping the private interface on the remote machine results in this where the xx.xx... is the IP address of the public LAN. >From xx.xx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable Running tcpdump on another Linux box on the remote network that is our main connection to the internet so sits between the remote machine and our T1 does not show any packets from the machine attempting to ping the remote or attempting to make an ssh connection to the remote machine's private IP. At this point I'm at a loss as what to try to debug this. My previous IPsec experience was with Freeswan on an older SuSE box which is quite different in the system setup. The centos/rh documentation is not totally clear what IP is meant by SRCGW, but looking at the ifcfg-ipsec script, it assigns the private IP of the internal network NIC if SRCGW is not set. I expected to see an ``ipsec0'' device from ``ifconfig'', as was done with freeswan, but either that's not the case with ipsec-tools or I have something hosed.
