The climate in this list is really rough. So many discussions about the "unfathomable" development process of CentOS and so many angry people waiting for the 5.6 release due to them by law of nature. Why could you guys not go away? The door is open, there are so many other distributions out there. The fact that these guys will not go away and that they will fight their battles in this list, and devel-list, is finally a compliment for the CentOS project. CentOS is rock solid. The developers do a good and great job. regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Many thanks and a little hint concerning httpd on 5.6
Hello CentOS developer team, thank you very much for the release of CentOS 5.6. I have upgraded my server, notebook, netbook and workstation from 5.5 to 5.6 and everything works really fine so far, CentOS 5.6 seems to be rock solid. The only little problem happens on the upgrade of my server, since my web server doesn't start after reboot. But this was easy to fix since this error was known from the RHEL 5.6 upgrade. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=669963 I am grateful for the CentOS Project.

This is a very unlucky situation, yes. But in my opinion, it is not a CentOS problem. We are only suffering under the missing of a nfs working kernel from RedHat. CentOS is based on RHEL that itself has no better kernel at the moment.

Here are some more information and a workaround. This is a know major flaw as reported on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522163. Since the previous kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 is not up to date with security fixes and the current kernel 2.6.18-164.el5 isn't usable as a nfs server, I have installed kernel 2.6.18-165.el5.jtltest.87, you will find it in the bug report, as a workaround. This is not optimal cause I think this is a testing kernel for RHEL 5.5 (not 5.4!), but it seems to me the best choice as a kernel under CentOS 5.3 at the moment if you are running an nfs server. And only the nfs server needs this kernel to work, the clients can stay with the current kernel 2.6.18-164.el5. regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Ok, thank you for your explanation. Also I was a bit surprised by this kernel cause it seems to me the same kernel like the kernel under /dzickus/el5/164.el5/. There is also a kernel 2.6.18-165.el5.

[CentOS] No login with kernel 2.6.18-164.el5
Hello, since kernel 2.6.18-164.el5 no user could login any more from nfs client into his home directory on nfs server. The kde error message is: "The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: Writing to $HOME directory (/home/) failed with the error 'Permission denied' KDE is unable to start." /home is exported with nfs4 (gss/krb5), the password is delivered by nis. Everything works fine if I reboot the nfs server into the previous kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5. Then it is completely irrelevant which kernel version the client has. So /home export by nfs4 works for client with kernel versions 2.6.18-164.el5 and 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5. If the nfs server runs under kernel 2.6.18-164.el5, the error messages for the user login process are (names for user, client and domain are replaced): /var/log/messages Sep 16 15:54:13 gdm[3122]: run_session_child: »~/.xsession-errors« konnte nicht geöffnet werden Sep 16 15:55:02 ntpd[2674]: synchronized to 192.168.0.1, stratum 14 Sep 16 15:57:14 gdm[3122]: run_session_child: »~/.xsession-errors« konnte nicht geöffnet werden /var/log/secure Sep 16 15:57:14 gdm[3122]: pam_unix(gdm:session): session opened for user by (uid=0) Sep 16 15:57:14 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user= Sep 16 15:57:14 sudo: pam_krb5[7339]: authentication fails for '' (@): Authentication failure (Decrypt integrity check failed) Strange files under /home/$USER: ---xrw--wT 1 0 Jan 17 2038 SskWxq -- 1 0 Jan 17 2038 .xsession-errors The following user processes are running on login error: startkde ssh-agent dbus-launch dbus-daemon kdeinit dcopserver klauncher kded kcminit_startup kwrapper ksmserver regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] System freezes completely under kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5
Hello, is there a known problem with the new kernel for CentOS 5.3? Till today, my server works without any problems. But after updating to the new kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 the system freezes completely with no more access by keyboard or over network. The last message in /var/log/messages is 'Aug 25 14:07:41 weidenwinde kernel: hdg: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21'. I have not change my hardware, have not change configuration and till this new kernel the system was running without any problems. The harddisks are younger than a year.

Remove the original firestarter line from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local and add
the following line to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local:
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start
And the following line to /etc/ppp/ip-down.local:
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh stop
Also disable firestarter as a service (chkconfig firestarter off) and
take a look in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local for broken code.
Is /etc/ppp/ip-up.local executable in a bash console?

[CentOS] Nfs4 with kerberos freezing system
Hello, I have a CentOS 5.2 server that exports /home on the local network for 2 users by secure nfs4 with kerberos krb5p. The clients are a notebook and a desktop pc. The following error is always reproducible on all clients. If running the clients on high load, that means for example 5 firefox windows open and connected with www pages from the internet, installing the new qt development environmet on the nfs4 share from the 297 mb big qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.01.bin file and copy a 649 mb iso image to the nfs4 share, the client is freenzing and a reboot is necessary. If running the clients on low load, than the system is stable for hours. In my opinion this is an error by an CentOS nfs package, cause this problem is reproducible with different kernels, different desktop environments and different clients. I don't think the error is caused by the server hardware, cause if running the same nfs setting with nfs version 3 and disabling nfs secure, the system is stable. I have test this with - latest CentOS 5.2 kernel and testing redhat kernel 2.6.18-133.el5 - kde and gnome - different clients and hardware Is anybody here successfully using nfs4/krb5p with CentOS 5.2? regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] System freezes with i8042_panic_blink on suspend
Hello, I am using CentOS 4.6 (2.6.9-67.plus.c4) on a toshiba tecra 8000 notebook. If closing the panel, "Panel Power On/Off" is enabled in bios, the notebook does suspend. But after opening the panel, the notebook completely freezes. If the suspend only takes a few minutes, then everything is working fine. But if the suspend takes a time more than five or ten minutes, the system completely freezes. The error message is: [] syscall_call+0x7/0xb [] xfrm_find_acq_byseq+0x100/0x10f Badness in i8042_panic_blink at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c:992 [] i8042_panic_blink+0x188/0x1a0 [] panic+0xf7/0x142 [] set_rtc_mmss+0x6c/0x204 My system: # cat /etc/grub.conf | grep kernel kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.plus.c4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 noapic acpi=off rhgb quiet # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (AGP disabled) (rev 02) 00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2200 [MagicGraph 256AV] (rev 12) 00:05.0 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:05.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:05.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:05.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:09.0 Communication controller: Toshiba America Info Systems FIR Port (rev 23) 00:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC97 (rev 05) 00:0b.1 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC97 (rev 05) 05:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI The system freezes too, if com-ports and sound is disabled in bios. Could the network controller 'RaLink' causes this problem? I am using the centosplus kernel cause of its support for isa sound cards. Is there an other kernel with that I could avoid this panic?

[CentOS] Error in xorg-x11-xinit
Hello, if login as user I get the following error message in ~/.xsession-errors*: /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession: line 15: unask: command not found Changing 'unask' to 'umask' seems to fix it.

Beagle is great, but it kills my performance under fedora core 6. This was version 2.13(?). So with version 2.18 and under CentOS I will give it a try. And I also think that resistance is really futile. ;-) regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Searching for beagle
Hi, there was a message in the list at Fri 26 Oct 2007 21:13:58, that beagle was added to centos testing repo. But I could not find it there. Please could someone give me an advice. Thank's a lot! "We have added beagle-0.2.18, tomboy-0.8.1, and mono-1.2.4 to the CentOS-5 testing repo for both x86_64 and i386." Are there any experiences with beagle under centos 5? Is it usable now or will it slow down my desktop like it did under fedora core 6? regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm afraid not. I can mount ntfs with write enabled by the console command above. But kde (Storage Media panel applet) always mounts the partion with ntfs module and never uses ntfs-3g. I think it's an kde problem but I don't know how to solve this. If I remove the ntfs module then kde still ignores ntfs-3g and doesn't mount the partition with an "unknown file system" error any more. regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But if I use the mount option from the kde Storage Media panel applet (kdebase-3.5.4-13.6.el5.centos) then the partion will be mounted without write support.

[CentOS] Searching an Scsi Controller for CentOS 5
Hello, does CentOs 5 supports an Adaptec AHA-2940W/2940UW scsi controller (pci)? Is this controller maybe supported by the aic7xxx driver? I want to install CentOS 5 on my desktop pc but the currently installed pci scsi controller for my scanners (drivers: 2x tmscsim, 1x advansys) are not supported by CentOS. So I am searching for something else. Thanks in advanced. regards Olaf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
