389-ds-base-libs.x86_64  1.2.11.15-48.el6_6 rhel-x86_64-server-6

Is what I see on one of my RHEL6 servers.

Hello Tris,

thanks for the reply. You are right, some of the packages are i686, 
logically they are nog in Centos7.

But I have epel enabled on the Centos7 box and I am not seeing

 389-admin.x86_64 : 389 Administration Server (admin)
389-admin-console.noarch : 389 Admin Server Management Console

The setup works without 389-admin as far as I can see on a first test, 
but launching

the console is difficult without 389-admin-console.

Greetings, Johan

I found the answer here:

Looks like the other 389-ds packages are due for Centos7.1.

Is there a writeup somewhere detailing how one installs a non-gnome desktop?
I have installed both KDE and Mate and both fail with the same error.  (EE) no

I am a bit bewildered that neither the official KDE from centos nor the
semi-official mate from epel pull in as part of their install the Xserver.  I
am also bothered by the fact that installing a desktop other than gnome 3 does
not in fact provide one that can be started from the command line.

I am not trying anything complicated here.  I just want to install a working
desktop that is not gnome.  Is this possible on CentOS7?

when I log in through ssh to a remote site and open the web interface

Hello All,

when buying laptops I try to avoid Ati/Radeon cards, because of pas issues.
But maybe it would be all right now.

Definitely no Broadcom wireless.
No Lenovo because of id/pairing protected cards.
In short, I look for laptops with as many Intel parts as possible.

Although it is true that Amd is a lot of power for a buck.

Greetings, J.

Hello,

as it says on the Centos wiki :
*ATTENTION:* This driver module is NOT persistent across kernel upgrades 
(i.e. when you update the kernel, and boot the newly installed one, 
you'll have to do this over again).


That's a bit inconvenient.

With Dell laptops I pay special attention to get Intel wireless (as much
as I hate intel for video chip I love Intel for their wireless chip), I'm
definitely allergic to broadcom wireless from the very beginning. I do
avoid Compaq (and HP since compaq was bought by them): they hard code in
BIOS IDs of approved cards - it least compaq did it to me once, I had to
dump BIOS, use hex editor to add Intel wireless card ID to replace with is
broadcom crap - way back (yes, I had to unsolder PPROM chip from system
board for that). It was the same Compaq that did, as some remember clean
room -- IBM PC compatible. I too decided recently to stay away from
Lenovo in a future, reading this thread confirms it. I'm staying away from
Sony; they release very short series of models, do small tweaks, ... you
never know what you will get inside, no way to rely on experience
published by others. Also I saw Sony fail more often (few people around
buy them for themselves).

I was wondering about HP, I saw only one post saying they also have the 
id:pair coding.

So confirmed here.

I guess you can have the Broadcom cards work across kernel updates with 
DKMS, but never tried that.

I try to keep third-party packages away from vital parts like kernels.

That is what I appreciate about distro's like Fedora and Centos: they 
have no easy-enabled non-free repo

( that I know of ) that would let me use the Broadcom cards out-of-the-box.
So you get to discover the limitations of open source software and you 
learn that some hardware manufactures are with it and some aren't. And 
that narrows down the decision on where to spent my money and my 
company's money.

[CentOS] idle timeout on Centos6

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

I'm using Centos6 with Gnome Desktops.
As far as I can tell the default idle timeout is 5 minutes.

I try to set this to 15 minutes with this command:

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source 
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type int  --set 
/apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay 15

This doesn't change the value in System-Preferences-Screensaver. And 
when timing the idle-timeout, it's still 5 minutes.

Opening gconf-editor, I cannot find the standard 5 minutes, the standard 
here is 10 minutes under /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay

What am I doing wrong?

[CentOS] Centos7: server gui vs Gnome

Hello All,

thanks for all the hard work and making Centos7 happen.

I installed Centos7 with option server with gui and with Gnome.
There seems to be no difference. Both are some 1240 packages and the

Isn't the  server with gui option suppose to produce something lighter?

[CentOS] vi : unable to copy text to other file

[Johan Vermeulen]

Hello All,

I'm  trying to use vi commands instead of using the mouse.

I open Gnome-Terminal

I open a file :   vi /home/jvermeulen/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

I select the key with  V  ( visual line )

I type  y  to yank the selected line.

I can now use
  :e otherfile.txt
and paste the text in otherfile.txt

This is the only way I succeed in copying text to another file in 
Gnome-Terminal of xterm.

But how can I copy text to a file on a remote machine?

Many thanks.

 if you can access the machine over ssh you can edit a file on the remote

 vim scp://username@host//path/to/file/on/remote/host/filename.extension

 or if you've already opened vim you can edit it by typing

 remember to write the file in order to save it, you do it by typing

[CentOS] lock down gnome-screensaver

[Johan Vermeulen]

Hello All,

I'm trying to set defaults for gnome-screensaver on some Centos6.5 
laptops and lock it down with these commands:

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source 
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type boolean --set 
/apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled true

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source 
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type boolean  --set 
/apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled true

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source 
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type int  --set 
/apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay 20

The first two commands work, in the screensaver-preferences window, 
these settings get grayed-out.
But the idle_delay 20 command does not work, users can still change the 
setting to let's say 1 minute.

Does anybody know how to do this?

 When you have at least ten lines of code

 At this point you are ready to host your code in a repository so that
 other developers can look at it. You should also create trac tickets to
 track bugs and feature requests. One of the main OLPC communication
 systems is through the dev.laptop.org trac page where people can see the
 status of activities as releases are prepared, testers can file bug
 reports, and translators can submit translations of your activity. You
 need to do three things to set this system up:

   1. Request project hosting: You need to fill out an application and
  send it to the devel list (another good reason to join).

 That does not seem to be directed at children, curious children and
 children with a desire for inspirational news and information.

 Might be OK for them grown-ups. Not so great for CHILDREN.

 If the children already know about IP addresses, have some concept of
 servers and clients and want to play with making a web site (basic HTML
 followed with some CSS), then Sugar is way-off the mark as the Americans
 say.

 Children, and indeed people, develop at different ages.  I think what is
 needed is something like, for example,

 * what is a computer
 * the basis and basics of Linux
 * Centos simply
 If a four year old can ask why is the sky blue, and then a 10 year old
 already familiar with IPv4 wants to know how he can make a simple web
 page, Sugar is not the answer.

 Lets give the children something really great, awesome, interesting and
 thought provoking.


Hello,

I now see that there is a Fedora edu spin in-the-making.

   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Education

I can understand why this list is not too warm with the idea of Centos 
for children.
A lot of people on the list are trained professionals who are 
responsible for critical systems.
No doubt everyone would gladly promote Centos, but probably and 
understandably, most are short on free time.

No reason to reïnvent the wheel . Let's find out how the Fedora project 
is doing.

Hello All,

I think this is an idea worth a thought.

One thing is : if I let my children have their way on the home computers 
- all of them run Centos6 - they start playing My Little Pony or Star 
Wars games, and continue with that just as long until you stop them.

So even if they play on Linux computers, they still open Firefox and 
play games.

I tried Childsplay, Gcompris, and Edubuntu in the past, and that's good, 
it's educational. But It still doesn't teach them Linux.

Recently I have them do Scratch, and I think Robomind looks interesting 
( but you have to pay for it ) . But that's for programming.

This week I looked at http://www.phpforkids.com . I haven't tried it yet.

The other thing is : the schools over here are firmly in the hands of MS 
Windows.

I would be interested to hear if someone knows of an initiative that 
really brings Linux to kids or kids to Linux.
And if in other country's schools do use Linux.

 Not necessarily.  I would make one large LVM volume group (VG) for
 pretty much the entire disk space then for each VM create a logical
 volume (LV) that is as big as you think you will need, but it doesn't
 need to be too big, it is easy to grow the LV later on if you need to.
 As I said before, make sure you leave some free space on the VG for

 You probably want to put your VMs disk images on logical volumes (LVM),

 mount the snapshots in the dom0 and take your backup off of those.  A

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

because the organization I work for has to enter the 21 century eventually,
and encouraged by the the excellent wiki's available,
I'm giving Xen a try.

I' ve tested setting it all up but I have this question concerning 
making backups.

i' ve noticed that virsh snaphot-create does not work, and googling this,
I can find many posts describing making backups with rbackup, lvm , dd, 

The thing is there is not always a date with these posts and articles, 
so before I dig into this:

Is this still the way this is done, or is there now a more 
straightforward way to backup ( Xen ) vm's?

Many thanks for any advise.

Greetings, J

Dear All,

this update is giving me EM on 4 laptops and a workstation so far ( A hp

nautilus : segfault at 623b67e ip  sp ..error 4

By the way:

I want to take the opportunity to thank the people at Fosdem, Brussels

answer some of my questions and give my children stickers and balloons.
They loved it and so did I.

 Hello,

 I am looking for a laptop with the following specs:

 Built-in GSM module
 Trusted platform module
 Support for these modules, as for the network (Ethernet + WiFi) for
 RHEL/Centos6.


 I tested Lenovo W540, and the WiFi is not detected. lspci shows:

 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 818b

 I came across
 http://askubuntu.com/questions/376732/thinkpad-t440p-wireless-network-controller,
 so it turns out, this WiFi card is not supported (yet).



 So, if anyone can recommend a working solution, please contact me,
 either here or off the list.

Hello,

I recently discovered - maybe as the last man on earth - that wifi cards 
on Lenovo's cannot ( always ) be replaced.
it's Vendor ID, Device ID protected.
Impractical and against the open-source spirit I think.

 With great excitement I'd like to announce that we are joining the Red
 Hat family. The CentOS Project ( http://www.centos.org ) is joining
 forces with Red Hat. Working as part of the Open Source and Standards
 team ( http://community.redhat.com/ ) to foster rapid innovation
 beyond the platform into the next generation of emerging technologies.
 Wow. I'm not entirely sure this is good news. We'll see.
 My first thought as well. Redhat already has Fedora as a testing ground. So
 for Redhat acquiring another free distribution makes me wary, unnecessarily 
 so
 maybe...

 I hope CentOS will continue to be The free stable enterprise solution.
 --
 //Sorin
 Think about this.  RDO, GlusterFS, oVirt, and OpenShift Origin are all
 Red Hat community offerings that need to have a long lived community
 base OS to speed their usage and growth.

 All of those also have a paid equivalent (Open Stack Platform, Storage,
 RHEV, and Open Shift) where Red Hat gets paying customers if the
 community projects thrive.  It is absolutely in Red Hat's best interest
 for all of the community software listed above to do well.

 Red Hat wants their paid platforms to continue to be successful, they
 therefore want their community projects to be successful.

 CentOS and Red Hat are joining forces to make those (and other)
 community projects more successful.  It is a simple as that and it is in
 both the CentOS Project's and Red Hat's best interest for both of us to
 thrive and grow.

 Fedora, a Linux distribution to deliver state of the art features, is
 also always going to be Red Hat Enterprise Linux ... Next.  Fedora is
 also a great Linux distribution in its own right.  It is obviously still
 very much in Red Hat's best interest for Fedora to continue to grow.

 Is Red Hat in business to make money ... of course they are.  Does Red
 Hat make more money or less money if their community projects do well?
 Of course they make more money if more people use their community
 projects.  Red Hat wants CentOS, Fedora, RDO, GlusterFS, oVirt,
 OpenShift Origin, and every other project where they provide support to
 do thrive and grow.

 Is it in the CentOS Project's best interest for RHEL and Fedora to
 continue to grow ... of course it is.

 Karanbir Singh (the Chair of the CentOS Project board) and Robyn
 Bergeron (the Fedora Project Leader) have both posted blog entries that
 discuss these items in further detail:

 http://www.karan.org/blog/2014/01/07/as-a-community-for-the-community/

 http://wordshack.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/centos-welcome/

 This is not rocket science folks. We all want all of these open source
 projects to do well.

 I am very excited about this arrangement and I think we all win.

 Thanks,

[CentOS] Centos6.5 -- Broadcom BCM4313 -- having trouble connecting

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

I'm having trouble on 2 laptops Lenovo B580 since upgrading to Centos6.5.
( Because it's a Lenovo I cannot switch the network card for a better 
supported network card. )

There on the latest kernel :

root@jac network-scripts]# uname -a
Linux jac.cawdekempen 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13 
13:06:13 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


With the help of the Elrepo Broadcom page I got the driver and that part 
works fine.
The network card works :

# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4727 (wl)
SUBSYSTEM==net, ACTION==add, DRIVERS==?*, 
ATTR{address}==c0:14:3d:c1:f6:ef, ATTR{type}==1, KERNEL==eth*,

But I cannot connect to any wireless network with neither of the machines.

I click on the gnome-nm-applet and type in the password.

 Got the exact same problem after upgrading to CentOS 6.5, and I was not
 the only one. The archives of this ML would bring you help, check the
 thread I started:
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:26:19 +0100
From: wwp subscr...@free.fr
To: centos@centos.org
Subject: [CentOS] Upgrade to CentOS 6.5 - issue with Broadcom Wifi

 As suggested by contributors here, and as written at 
 http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod,
 I ended up installing the latest available driver by building the RPM
 from the archive of the sources. The procedure is described at the link
 above.

 Hi,

 http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/7/

 Go get it ( maybe consider using a mirror ), play with it, test it, and
 file reports. Dont use it in production.

 As in the past, we highly encourage people to use the official beta
 builds from Red Hat and to report issues at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/

 Within CentOS, we are going to do a CentOS7Beta1 build to match the
 release upsteam, and do it in a manner that allows lots of people to get
 involved and track progress. Keep an eye out on posts on the
 centos-devel list to see how you can get involved and help with the
 CentOS Builds and testing process.
 I see nobody's asked when CentOS 7 will be out yet. ;-)

 Anyway, will be interesting to check out the new gnome.

[CentOS] Centos6.5 Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 not working

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

i'm working on this Centos6.5 laptop, fully updated

*# uname -a**

It's an Acer Aspire E1-571.

I can't get the Intel Centrino N 6235 to work. I've used this card on 
several different types of  laptops and never
had any trouble.

I think I have the packages installed for this card :

[CentOS] ltsp Selinux

[Johan Vermeulen]

Hello All,

I set up ltsp regulary, on Centos6 machines.

This morning I have a Selinux problem that usualy does not occur:
after setting everything up, the thinclients boot, but nobody can login.

It only works after the command :

# echo 0  /selinux/enforce

I tried this semanage command:

# semanage fcontext -a -t bin_t /usr/bin/xauth

but it makes no difference.

The message I'm now seeing in /var/log/audit/audit.log :

type=AVC msg=audit(1385112688.399:67769): avc:  denied  { write } for  
pid=8218 comm=xauth name=caw dev=md1 ino=262145

Can anybody help me overcome this without disabling Selinux?

Many thanks.

 You may try to add the following rules to your local policy, but do you
 really need this? It seems like you shouldn't have any problems with
 non-root accounts.

 module local 1.0;

 require { type xauth_t; type home_root_t; class dir write; }

 #= xauth_t == # The source type 'xauth_t' can
 write to a 'dir' of the following types: # user_home_t, xauth_tmp_t,
 var_lib_t, xdm_var_run_t, admin_home_t, user_home_dir_t, tmp_t, user_tmp_t,
 nx_server_var_lib_t, nfs_t

 allow xauth_t home_root_t:dir write;

 No this is not correct.  The problem is the parent directory should be
 user_home_dir_t not home_root_t.

Last week, I installed CentOS 6 yet again.
I took the default desktop: gnome.
Whenever I open a directory, I get a new window.
That gets rather annoying,
especially when I have to drill down several levels.
Is there around that behaviour?
If it's in edit-preferences, I didn't find it.
Eventually I expect to change desktops.
Until then, any ideas?

 Hello All,

 fdisk -l was what I needed to bring clarity in the name-issue.

 By now I tried this on a just-installed Centos6.4, updated machine, this
 time with partitions instead of lvm.

 I was able to follow the wiki all the way without EM
 /etc/fstab now reads

 //dev/md_d0p3   root
 /dev/md_d0p1  home /

 and so on.

 I adapted /etc/grub.conf to /root=/dev/md_d0p3/ and deleted the rd_NO_MD
 and ran the dracut commands.

 BUT when rebooting I get :
 /dracut warning : No root device block:/dev/md_d0p found./

 searching through all the files, I see that /dev/mapper only contains
 control in stead of
 the usual links.

 Could this be the issue?
 And if it is, how can I generate or manualy add the usual links in this
 file?

 Greetings, J.

[CentOS] building software raid.

[Johan Vermeulen]

dear All,

I'm spending the afternoon trying to build software raid using this ( 
excellent )  guide :
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1

I'm doing this not only because this machine has no raid controller - I 
could go out and buy one - but also because I hope software raid will 
provide easier monitoring.

This is a newly installed, updated Centos6.4 standard machine.

So far I arrived at part1 step 4:
-

mdadm --add /dev/md_d0 /dev/sdb


and this is on 16.6 %

Looking at part 2 , step 2 :

 Edit /etc/fstab, you must change all mounts from using 
LABEL= to explicit device names, like /dev/md_d0p1, /dev/md_d0p2, ...

I'm wondering where I can find the names md_d0p1, p2 and so on.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks very much.

Re: [CentOS] OT: laptop recommendations for CentOS6

[Johan Vermeulen]

hello,

over the past year, I bought a lot of laptops and I insist on running 
Centos on all of them.

* the best is Dell  dell-vostro3450, wich is 95 % compatible. The other 
5% being some fn function keys
but I think it's not for sale any more.

* At the moment I use an Acer Aspire E1-571. That is 97 % compatible, 
because most fn keys work.
   And the Broadcom wireless card can easily be replaced.

* the worst are Asus X55-A and Dell Vostro 3460 that have Atheros 
network cards.

* I never tried Ati Radeon on Centos because of bad experience on 
Opensuse. But maybe it works
Nvidia will sometimes require extra software for use with external 
monitor or beamer.
So I agree on you with the intel graphics.

* The thing is, if you spend some 600 Euro's, you more often than not 
end up with in the best case
some Broadcom cards that can be made to work given some effort.
In worst case with Atheros cards that require some magic to make 
them work.

* imho if you buy a laptop that has Intel HD graphics, Intel network 
card and Intel wireless card, it will work
   out of the Centos box.
   but those are too expensive for me.

Greetings, J.

 Hi all,

First of all, sorry for the OT. I need to buy a new laptop for my
 work. My prerequisites are:

 - RAM: 6/8 GiB (preferably 8 GiB)
 - Processor: Core i7
 - Disk: up to 500 GiB for SATA, 128 GiB for SSD.
 - Graphics card: Intel HD (I really hate to use Nvidia or ATI Radeon
 graphics cards).

The most important tasks will be:

- Surf the web :)
- Read email
- And the Most important task: I need to install complete virtual test
 labs on it using KVM, Xen and VMware suites to run several different
 types of OSes: RHEL, CentOS, OEL, Solaris-like, BSD, Windows 2012/2008
 R2, etc.


 Any suggestions?? My first choice will be Toshiba or Lenovo laptops and
 of course it needs to be 100% compatible with CentOS6 (or almost at 95%).

 Thanks.

 Googling, I found a post from around 2006 or so (Centos 4.1) saying that
 Centos doesn't compile Firewire support, and which then gave some steps
 for installing a CentosPlus kernel.

 Is that still the case? I'd sure be not real happy to have to install a
 nonstandard kernel...

 But since there ARE some packages whose namems contain the string 1394
 one would think that maybe it is INTENDED to be supported.

 But either way, I am not getting anywhere with it.

 Below, I give all the info I can think of that might be helpful in
 determining what's my problem, so I'd appreciate it if someone who knows
 something about Kernel and/or Firewire could drop me a note.

 Thanks a bunch!

 Hi all!

 I'm trying to use my first-ever firewire device, and just OOB I'm not
 getting very far, so advice would be appreciated.

 When I plug in the device I see some entries in /var/log/messages:

  Jul 27 14:50:30 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new 
 root=ffc1, gap_count=5
  Jul 27 14:50:31 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID

 lsmod says this:

  firewire_ohci  24695  0
  firewire_core  50151  1 firewire_ohci
  crc_itu_t   1717  2 udf,firewire_core

 I have these 1394-related packages installed:

  # yum list installed | grep 1394
  libavc1394.x86_64   0.5.3-9.1.el6

  libraw1394.x86_64   2.0.4-1.el6 
 @anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64/6.3

 lspci says this:

  03:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 
 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)

 the only mention of 1394 that I see in /etc/modprobe.d is this
 (grep output):

  dist.conf:install eth1394 /bin/true

 which, to the limited extent of my understanding shouldn't be a problem.


 I'm trying to use Kino. when I start it up and click the capture
 tab on the right I get a warning in the bar at the bottom of the Kino
 window that reads:

 WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write
  /dev/raw/1394!

 which makes sense since there ins't a /dev/raw/1394. however, according to
 this:

  # find /dev -name \*firewire\* -print
  /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw1
  /dev/.udev/db/firewire:fw0

 there are two firewire device nodes.

 Should Kino be using one of those device nodes instead of /dev/raw/1394?
 Or if not, does anyone have further advice (preferably helpful advice) ??

 thanks!

 Fred
Hello Fred,

I've used this before on Centos6.4, with Kino.
My apologies for not answering your post. When I saw it, I wanted to 
pull out my camera and look at how I did this, because it's some time ago.

But it does work.

I believe I searched for a while and in the end it was a permission issue.

I promise I will take the camera tomorrow and have a look.

 Yes, samba should work fine - you've probably copied over some
 mismatching config.   But, if you just need an occasional file copy
 either way and can get by without disk mapping, winscp is easy for
 windows users and only needs ssh running on the linux side.

Hello Kevin and Les,

I have every confidence Samba will work on Centos6.
But as i mentioned, since only 2 windows users are involved, 

It's more than than copying files. I will implement the 
ftp-server-solution tonight.
And I will try to test the other suggestions as well.

As a sidenote: I'm running my biggest migration to Centos so far as I'm 
typing this, I'm excited and hopeful
it will run ok.
I'm also sweating peanuts, not because I'm nervous ( I know Centos will

[CentOS] howto avoid Samba

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server.
So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba 
server with ldap connection.

Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to 
Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also 
because I can't get it to work on Centos. )

I saw a post on the mailinglist some time ago about Windows and Nfs, but 
find that Nfs is supported on Win7 Ultimate but not on Professional edition.
I apologise if another way was mentioned in this post and I missed it.

I googled and tried Omni-Nfs, but could not get a connection working.

I installed TightVnc on Windows and that connects ok to the Centos 
server, but shared clipboard does not work.

Can anyone point met to a useful solution to enable file sharing to Win7 
Pro without Samba?

Many thanks.

greetings, J.

 Based on:

https://kb.bluecoat.com/index?page=contentid=KB5025actp=RSS

 and other similar postings, it appears that the Remote XUL manager
 was removed from firefox some time ago (ff4). I suspect that what
 you have had of late was an addon, which might have been
 automatically disabled by your firefox instance, likely due to an
 incompatibility, with the recent centos ff update to 17.0.6. I don't
 use it so didn't try, but suspect that you can go to your addons
 panel and update it to get it working again. Searching available
 addons turns up Remote XUL Manager 1.2.



  - Richard



Hello Richard,

thanks for the reply.

Indeed, what I have is an add-on, remote xul manager 1.2.

But as I mentioned, Firefox itself did not update.
Something else broke xul manager.

Removing and reinstalling it does not help.

 Try to disable selinux (setenforce 0) temporarily and see if the

No, disabling Selinux did not do it.

So far the only way to get it back it copying back entire .mozilla file

 If that fixed it, then it wasn't the yum update that caused the

yesterday evening, I pulled out a laptop that didn't update for a while.
I opened Firefox, under Extra-Webdeveloper it showed remote xul manager.

I ran yum update, it updated some 43 packages.

 Then use yum history transaction number undo to revert your system
 to previous state and run updates one package at the time and see what
 is causing it, then file the bugzilla against that package.

ipforwarding is set to 1

clients get ip adresses from dhcp server, and there's no other dhcp 
server on the lan.

But clients cannot ping the public internet, e.g. 8.8.8.8

kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.shmmax = 68719476736
kernel.shmall = 4294967296

I switched the cables and switches, and changed the connection with the 
public internet.

Can anybody offer some advise on this?

Re: [CentOS] Centos6.4 routing problem

[Johan Vermeulen]

hello Mark,

thanks for the help.

 dear All,

 I'm facing this routing problem, the setup is actualy part of ltsp, but
 I think this problem is Centos-specific.

 The server is a Dell Poweredge R210. The install is standard 6.4, updated.

 I have one nic facing the public internet:

 First, we always have BOOTPROTO set - in your case, assuming you're
 getting em1's IP from DHCP, you should have that; in the case of em2, it's
 BOOTPROTO=static. As it is, I'd think (without testing) that em1 is trying
 to present a reserved IP to the 'Net, which is a no-no.

both ifcfg's now have BOOTPROTO=static
and I restarted network and dhcpd.

 vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1

 DEVICE=em1
 BOOTPROTO=none
 HWADDR=d4:ae:52:c1:28:2b
 NM_CONTROLLED=no
 ONBOOT=yes
 TYPE=Ethernet
 UUID=cdfe1d58-c56c-47fc-8a93-5df2e168d176
 IPV6INIT=no
 USERCTL=no
 DNS2=195.238.2.22

 IPADDR=192.168.66.5
 NETMASK=255.255.255.128
 GATEWAY=192.168.66.1

 and one nic serving the lan and dhpcd.

 vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em2

 DEVICE=em2
 BOOTPROTO=none
 HWADDR=d4:ae:52:c1:28:2c
 NM_CONTROLLED=no

 Dunno if it does, but network certainly does. I would expect dhclient to
 be installed by default, and so it's merely a matter of making sure that
 it says BOOTPROTO=dhcp in

Dear All,

I finally tested this further ( in the mean time I did NOT disable any 
selinuxes but worked with cron ) :

#chcon -t bin_t /usr/bin/rsync

works.

chcon :  change file SELinux security context

bin_t :

# Using the type statement to declare a type of bin_t, where
# bin_t is used to identify a file as an ordinary program type.



Thanks all of you to help me move on WITH SElinux.

thanks again for the reactions.

This is the NetworkManager script I'm trying to use:

-
#!/bin/sh

export LC_ALL=C

if [ $2 = down ]; then
 exit0
fi

if [ $2 = up ]; then
 #LAN Subnet at work

 rsync -azvp /home/james/ 192.168.66.129:/home/jvermeulen

as far as I can test this at the moment, it works without Selinux and 
doesn't work with Selinux enabled.

I also want Selinux enabled.
So I will do some searching on how to make it work with Selinux.

 I believe that NetworkManager runs its helper scripts as initrc_t which is an
 unconfined domains, except that when it executes rsync, it transition to a
 confined rsync server domain(rsync_t).  Changing the context to bin_t would
 eliminate the transition and leave rsync running in initrc_t.

Dear All,

thanks for the advise.

Yes, it concerns a laptop, if not I would indeed turn of NetworkManager.

I am in the  process of converting our last older OpenSuse-laptop to 
CentOs6.4.
Now all 26 of our Linux laptops ( 4 sadly run Windows ) will be on CentOs.

I often hear people say they would never run CentOs on laptops, but I 
think it works great.

Also today I will replace the last of 4 machines of our admin Department 
to CentOs. ( One will remain on Windows ) .

I just needed to share that with somebody.

Tomorrow I will test the advise that I kindly received here.

 Ah! And selinux. Have you encrypted the h/d's?

you know, I did argue that with my boss but he was against it. Guess he

So the only encrypted laptop is my own.

 Without posting any details like what version of the driver you are
 using, or a copy of your xorg.log file showing the errors it's
 impossible to say or do much other than guess at the problem.

 However, I have done my best to test your scenario. The latest NVIDIA
 driver to support your hardware (from elrepo) is kmod-nvidia-304xx, the
 304 series legacy driver (if you are unsure, trying installing and
 running nvidia-detect from elrepo which will advise you of the correct
 driver for your hardware).

 I can tell you that this driver works fine with the 6.4 update. There
 was some doubt about whether older drivers would support 6.4 as Xorg
 received an ABI update to 13.1 in the 6.4 release which older display
 drivers might not support. However, I have confirmed that the 304.xx
 legacy drivers and the latest 310.xx series NVIDIA drivers both fully
 support the version of Xorg shipped with 6.4

 So, my best guess is that you were maybe running an old version of the
 NVIDIA drivers and needed to update? But as I said above, without any
 further clues to work with I'm really guessing in the dark.

Hello,

thanks for looking in to this.

Indeed, I should have included xorg.log. It took me longer than it 
should have to realize it was a graphical issue.

Not updating could be the issue, I installed kmod-nvidia but never ran 
an update with Elrepo repo enabled.
I will test that and report back.

 what could be the issue here?

 greetings, J.
 Solved after removing Elrepo-package kmod-nvidia.
 I had that installed for being able to use an external monitor.

 Without posting any details like what version of the driver you are
 using, or a copy of your xorg.log file showing the errors it's
 impossible to say or do much other than guess at the problem.

 However, I have done my best to test your scenario. The latest NVIDIA
 driver to support your hardware (from elrepo) is kmod-nvidia-304xx, the
 304 series legacy driver (if you are unsure, trying installing and
 running nvidia-detect from elrepo which will advise you of the correct
 driver for your hardware).

 I can tell you that this driver works fine with the 6.4 update. There
 was some doubt about whether older drivers would support 6.4 as Xorg
 received an ABI update to 13.1 in the 6.4 release which older display
 drivers might not support. However, I have confirmed that the 304.xx
 legacy drivers and the latest 310.xx series NVIDIA drivers both fully
 support the version of Xorg shipped with 6.4

 So, my best guess is that you were maybe running an old version of the
 NVIDIA drivers and needed to update? But as I said above, without any
 further clues to work with I'm really guessing in the dark.

 Hello,

 thanks for looking in to this.

 Indeed, I should have included xorg.log. It took me longer than it
 should have to realize it was a graphical issue.

 Not updating could be the issue, I installed kmod-nvidia but never ran
 an update with Elrepo repo enabled.
 I will test that and report back.

 Greetings, J.

 That indeed sounds like the issue. Try (re)installing the latest version
 that supports your hardware, kmod-nvidia-304xx:

 yum install kmod-nvidia-304xx

 and reboot.

 Hope that helps.

Hello,

that solved the issue. I'm now running Centos6.4 with package 
kmod-nvidia-304xx.

and I tried nvidia--detect as well:

-bash-4.1# nvidia-detect
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
Found: [10de:0247] NVIDIA Corporation C51 [GeForce Go 6100]
This device requires the NVIDIA legacy 304.xx driver (kmod-nvidia-304xx).

Thanks for helping me out.

[CentOS] Dell Lattitude E5430 -- split screen

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

I installed CentOs on a brand new Dell Lattitude E5430.

I did a minimal install, then did a yum groupinstall Desktop and I 
installed  xorg-x11-drv-intel.i686.

Also, I installed a i686 CentOs on a 64bit system, thinking because it 
has 4Gb or ram, It makes no difference.

The screen is split top to bottom on the left hand side.

This was quickly solved by adding nomodeset to the kernel line in 
/boot/grub/menu.lst,
however now I can't add an external monitor or beamer.

Next I ran  Xorg -configure and switched between vesa and intel 
driver, but the only thing that clears the spit screen so far is nomodeset.

Here is some hardware info:
  *-display
  description: VGA compatible controller
  product: 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated 
Graphics Controller
  vendor: Intel Corporation
  physical id: 2
  bus info: pci@:00:02.0
  version: 09
  width: 64 bits
  clock: 33MHz
  capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
  configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
  resources: irq:28 memory:f6c0-f6ff 
memory:e000-efff(prefetchable) iopor
t:f000(size=64)

I googled this and found some posts ( not with Centos ) from people 
reporting this solved by updating BIOS and adapting all sorts of settings.

Can anyone help me with this?

Many thanks already.

Greetings, J.

 Are you changing your active directory to /var/www/html/nubuilder/db in
 your shell script first?  It looks like your shell script is getting a
 listing of that directory and then trying to execute your PHP script in
 that directory which is failing because the parent process that called
 the PHP script is not currently in the directory where the PHP script is
 trying to find the files it is supposed to be working with.  See where
 it says, failed to open stream: No such file?
 the other thing to bear in mind are:

 ; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the
 defined directory and below.
 ; This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory
 ; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file.
 ; This directive is *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
 ; http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.sect.safe-mode.php#ini.open-basedir
 ;open_basedir =

 http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.include-path

 These two directives work together to limit what files you
 allow PHP access to.

 BTW - exactly where is the config.php file located you are
 trying to include?

 Kind Regards,

 Keith

Hello All, Hello Keith,

thanks a million for the responses, I'm already happy to understand 
where the EM are coming from.

The config.php are in each database;

/[root@caw-server2 db]# ls
reg_begeleidingsteam  reg_jww_archief   reg_personeel reg_straathoekwerk
reg_bib   reg_jww_dossiers  reg_resident  reg_vrijwilligers
reg_drughulp  reg_jww_dvd   reg_signaleren
reg_jac_activiteitreg_onthaal   reg_sollicitatie/

so for instance reg_bib ( witch has a library ) has config.php :

/[root@caw-server2 reg_bib]# ls
background_logo.jpgconfig.php  database.php  index.php
background_stripe.png  cron.phpfavicon.ico/

Following your advise, I changed the include enty to :

  include /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/config.php;

this seems to work without EM, I'm now checking if this indeed truncated 
the files.

again many thanks !

Greetings,J.

[CentOS] CentOs - howto log Firefox EM

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

how can I create a Firefox log?

My actual problem is this:

I have 17 stations connecting to a Drupal database, that I don't have 
admin access to.

Some of these stations are OpenSuse , some are Centos6.3 and two are 
Centos5.8.

One of this Centos5.8 install frequently has this EM when connecting to 
this database using Firefox:

 There was a problem with an async httprequest response

When I google this, it seems Ajax / Java related.

The Centos5.8 stations are standard installs, no modifications have been 
made to java or anything.

I'm now trying to find out if it's server related of client-side.

 Be advised that Gnome desktop relies on those directories to be
 present, e.g. Firefox downloads go by default in ~/Downloads; there may
 be some other issues with not having them. Maybe bigger issues than
 having to explain to your users. :)

[CentOS] Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

first of all I must admit I posted this problem on the CentOs forum 
yesterday, with 0 replies so far. :-(

I'm googling this problem all weekend, and getting a bit desperate actually.

I'm working on a new Dell Vostro 3460.

  It has a Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet carc that I 
cannot get to work.

There's no enty in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules or in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts for wired network.

The laptop has Centos6.3 fully updated, lspci -v shows :

:http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/atheros-not-working-905849/
that mentions a sollution by installing the AR81Family. I cannot find that.

  
I installed kmod-atl1e from ELREPO, as mentioned in this post:

  that enabled wlan0, but no eht0 showing up.

saying the package found at linuxfoundation.org cannot be compiled on 
CentOs6 and providing another package.

Indeed I compiled it loaded it with :

and I have eth0 . I'm very relieved.
and I'm now looking at how to insert the alx module permantently ( after 
reboot )

[CentOS] CentOs6- Use nscd for offline LDAP

[Johan Vermeulen]

Dear All,

I'm thinking about connecting the 15 or so laptops in our organisation 
to LDAP.

Now I'm trying to use nscd in order to enable the users to work when 
being offline.

The test laptop is installed for this occasion, updated CentOs6.3.

Following the advise I found on a few posts I modified */etc/nscd.conf :

*

 server-user nscd

 logfile /var/log/nscd.log

 debug-level 3

 reload-countunlimited

 paranoiano

 enable-cachepasswd  yes

 positive-time-to-live   passwd  3600

 negative-time-to-live   passwd  20

 suggested-size  passwd  211

 check-files passwd  yes

 persistent  passwd  yes

 shared  passwd  yes

 enable-cachegroup   yes

 positive-time-to-live   group   3600

 negative-time-to-live   group   60

 suggested-size  group   211

 check-files group   yes

 persistent  group   yes

 shared  group   yes

 enable-cachehosts   yes

I also Modified*/etc/nsswitch.conf*and changed the order after passwd - shadow 
- group :

passwd: ldap files
shadow: file ldap
group: ldap files


*This seems to work.*

* When stopping nscd, LibreOffice gives the EM:

/The application cannot be started.
A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration.

/*When starting nscd LibreOffice just works.

*When enabling nscd a can su to an LDAP user from root, without nscd the user 
does not exist.

*But the problem I'm having*  is

I was kinda hoping to log back in from a locked screen or from hibernation, in 
other words continue a running session.
Or who knows, even start a new session.


Can anyone help me make this work?
Thanks for any advise

Greetings, James

 Hi Johan,

 Did you look at sssd ? My understanding is that it's designed for
 offline use, as nscd is just caching.
