[CentOS] Thunderbird can not import S/MIME certificate
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256
Hi,
in May 2015 I reported [0] that I can not import my S/MIME
certificate. Issuer is GlobalSign.
Jan Horak reassigned it to the nss guys ("This seems to be problem in
NSS code, reassigning to nss component"), but then the ticket idled
and was eventually closed by EOL of Fedora 21 (though I stated it
persists with F22).
I just reopened the ticket because it still doesn't work. The
certificate itself is okay, it works on other platforms.
Nobody else using S/MIME?
Best,
Timo

Subject: Re: [CentOS-virt] create a guest
Mattias,
- Original Message -
can i create a guest with libvirt and use an existing disc with
freebsd?
libvirt is a library. Programs are written to use the functions it
provides.
libvirtd is a service that does things like provide a DHCP server to VMs
that are using NAT.
virtsh is a command line tool to manage virtual machines. It uses
libvirt.
virt-manager is a GUI tool to manage virtual machines. It uses libvirt.
There are a number of other tools that are named virt-{whatever}. One of
those is virt-install.
The most direct, but perhaps more complicated way to do everything is to
simply run qemu-kvm from the command line and pass to it all of the
arguments needed to create a virtual machine from which you can boot from
install media. Installing an OS from installation media is a graphical
thing. There is a virtual video card that shows the output of the booting
media. You will need a GUI of some sort to do a raw install. Once you
have created a virtual machine, you can use the existing VMs storage (disk
image file, partition, etc) as a cookie cutter to make other VMs from in a
less GUI way.
As others have said, you should probably install enough GUI stuff on your
VM host machine so you can start with virt-manager. You don't have to run
a complete desktop to use virt-manager. In fact you can ssh -X to your VM
host from another machine that has X running and have virt-manager appear
on your local display without running X11 on the VM host.
So the answer to the question you keep repeating... is yes... you can
install FreeBSD from a disc... if you'll start figuring out the system,
how it works, and the tools that are available to do what you want.
Having said that, I've not installed FreeBSD and I've not done an install
from a physical CD/DVD. I've always done Linux or Windows from an .iso
file... and I primarily use virt-manager. The non-GUI ways are mostly for
advanced users.

[SPARC's] demise has been greatly exaggerated. There's also Power aka PPC, formerly used in Apple Macintosh computers, and still used on large scale IBM AIX Unix servers, the Power series. These also are very high performance. Just a minor nit here, POWER is not the same thing as PPC. PPC branched from POWER with strong influences from other vendors and technologies. PPC has since evolved into a mostly embedded platform, though later POWER releases are (mostly) compatible with PPC. the Power6 and Power7 have the altvec and most of the rest of the PPC extensions. when you compile for the power, if you are using gcc, you generally specify ppc as the architecture. With IBM's XLC, of course, you specify Power 4 or 5 or 6 or 7. Power 5 and later have extensive virtualization support native in the hardware, enabling LPAR partitioning of servers. of course, this has nothing to do with centos, as far as I know, RH gave up supporting Power, No, they didn't. RHEL6 is available for IBM Power: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Release_Notes/introduction.html and Sooshay was the official IBM distribution. with Novell imploding, I'm not sure what happened with Suse. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I then deactivate the net interface on the destination box and then activate it. Ping is then successful, and the transfer is completed. The transferred file is correct, as verified with sha1sum.

I haven't seen anything like that, at least in many years so it probably is hardware related - but make sure your software is up to date. As a workaround, you might try using rsync with the --bwlimit option to limit the speed of the transfer - and the -P option so you can restart a failed transfer from the point it stalled on the last attempt. If you have a managed switch, check its counters for errors (CRC, giants, runts, etc) and check whether speed and duplex settings are appropriate for all machines connected. You should also check whether all devices involved are able to handle the MTU you use.

I have the following RAID setup: md0: sda1 and sdb1, RAID 1. This is /boot md1: sda2 and sdb2, RAID 1. This is a PV for LVM. VolGroup00, this is the volume group and md1 is the only PV in it. LogVol00 is swap LogVol01 is / LogVol02 is /home So, I tested to see what happens if I disable sdb in virtualbox. Machine booted find and I was able to see that part of the raid array was gone. I reattached the disk and rebuilt the array mdam --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 mdam --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2 The array rebuilt without issue. But now, if I remove sda, the machine doesn't boot and grub complains. The question I have is how does one reinstall the boot sector at this point?

Re: [CentOS] Slightly OT: which hardware for CentOS file server (Samba, 2 To storage, 50 users)?
thus On 04/12/2010 06:50 PM, Gé Weijers spake: 50 simultaneous users will require more than a bargain desktop PC. Please don't top post... Yes -- 50 not too lazy users will kill the machine. I would go for low-end server hardware, which will get you ECC memory and more SATA ports. The cost is probably not significantly more than a _good_ quality desktop system. ECC is mandatory in decent machines, be it workstations or servers, IMHO. Think of a faulty stick of RAM you don't discover immediately, it might shred all your Terabytes of data. You may want to allow for some expansion, 2 To may grow into 3 To over time. Also plan for backups. You may want to use LVM and leave some disk space unallocated to you can create snapshots and make backups to external USB drives or another network server while the system is up and running. My personal criteria: - decent power supply - space for 4 3.5 hard drives. - 4 memory slots, so I can go to 8 Go memory without breaking the bank - at least a dual-core Xeon or AMD processor which supports ECC memory Almost every not too crappy mother board will allow ECC using an AMD CPU (Phenom et al). To get ECC in intel space, you'll have to pay *much* more. - 4 or more available SATA ports on the motherboard - 1-2 1000BASE-T network interfaces. Maybe, search for a (used) server on eBay or elsewhere. You can get very decent machines with all the features or more (ECC, many memory slots, dual, redundant power supplies, even out-of-band management) at a very low price. Keep in mind that those machines *are* loud. (You have a closet/rack to keep it, don't you?) You could go for a RAID controller, but RAID1 (mirroring) has little overhead in software, and you can buy 2 extra hard disks for the price of the controller. Maybe for future growth you'll want to keep in mind that you could go RAID6. RAID5 is evil, taking todays hard drive sizes in mind (speaking of 2TiByte drives, especially).

I'm not very proficient with hardware, meaning either I'm dealing with remote servers in some datacenter, or otherwise I install CentOS desktops on any hardware people throw at me. Since the aim is lowcost, would it be wrong to install that fileserver on a no-name desktop PC with a 64bit processor and enough RAM, and then simply put 2 x 2 To hard disks in it, either with a mirroring RAID (can never remember which does what in 0, 1 and 5) or some rsync script regularly copying over the first disk to the second?

However, I've got another machine based on exactly the same hardware (board, CPU, memory, HD, everything) and the same BIOS config -- running flawlessly without the parameter given. We have four boxes in small chassis (micro-atx?) with Atom processors that are having no problems. These machines are basically gateway boxes for small businesses and do OpenVPN tunnels inter-connecting three offices in Texas and one in Missouri. The box in question is in a larger chassis that doesn't require a low-profile NIC. It's several months newer than the others so I don't know if they're the same main board. This is occurring while an rsync-3.0.4 process is receiving data sent by a machine running rsync-3.0.7 (I just updated the CentOS box to rsync-3.0.7 since noticing that it was a bit dated). This is the only significant load on this machine at this time. Maybe your running out of kernel threads and or APIC can't distribute interrupts across the CPU. Or APIC don't like your motherboard/cpu under stress. My impression was that it was not load (I tortured both machines running BOINC for a few weeks) but traffic. Thus, I suspect the (on board) NIC to be a bit... crappy (IIRC it was Realtek)? I've always wanted to test it with a reasonable NIC. This shouldn't be on the on-board RealTek NIC, but on the Intel that's in a regular slot. On the other hand, when I look at the dmesg output it appears that it's the RealTek on the public NIC. FWIW, after I updated this to rsync-3.0.7 yesterday afternoon, I restarted the rsync using -vP to monitor it, and it has been transferring without a glitch for 15 hours now. However, I'm really convinced that an application/daemon (rsync in this case) should NOT be able to crash the entire system.

The CPU is an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz. I am not a hardware type, and don't have a clue what this means. Try noapic on the kernel boot parameter. Also if that don't work out try acpi=off Hi, just jumpin' in: I too have an Atom-based machine which runs *rock solid* with ''noapic'' as parameter, and crashes without. However, I've got another machine based on exactly the same hardware (board, CPU, memory, HD, everything) and the same BIOS config -- running flawlessly without the parameter given. This is occurring while an rsync-3.0.4 process is receiving data sent by a machine running rsync-3.0.7 (I just updated the CentOS box to rsync-3.0.7 since noticing that it was a bit dated). This is the only significant load on this machine at this time. Maybe your running out of kernel threads and or APIC can't distribute interrupts across the CPU. Or APIC don't like your motherboard/cpu under stress. My impression was that it was not load (I tortured both machines running BOINC for a few weeks) but traffic. Thus, I suspect the (on board) NIC to be a bit... crappy (IIRC it was Realtek)? I've always wanted to test it with a reasonable NIC. This machine has locked up requiring a hard reset twice while this rsync process has been running at night with no problems at other times. Most of the times I have seen hard lockups is with interrupt problems of distribution of them and failing hardware.

Re: [CentOS] APIC error on Intel Atom CPU, CentOS 5.x
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 thus Martin Jungowski spake: If it helps I'm experiencing a *very* similar problem with all Atom N270 based company netbooks (Lenovo S10e) with openSUSE 11.2 and Kernel 2.6.31, as well as openSUSE 11.1 and Kernel 2.6.27. Putting load on the NIC works fine until I start rsync. Literally everything else allows me to put load on it - ftp, scp, downloading large files via HTTP, copying via NFS or SMB, etc. But as soon as I start rsync it locks up. For me it dies on any kind of traffic, not just rsync. I even saw this fetching ISOs using FTP. The machine just died (network-wise; I don't have console on this machine in the data centre, but I do have a machine of this type here in the office, so I could build a test setup with KVM). On the machine that runs stable for weeks now # uptime 09:51:33 up 47 days, 47 min, 1 user, load average: 0.14, 0.11, 0.09 I've got TOR running, which uses a sustained bandwidth of about three MBit (which is not that much, it had about ten MBit for quite a while with an additional FreeNet daemon running). It doesn't even start to transfer anything - the NIC instantly dies and more often than not takes the entire system down with it. Every now and then instead of a full lockup I only get a dead NIC. Killing the rsync process hard (-9) and restarting the network often helps. I realize that this is a very different software environment but I was about to try CentOS on that baby next. I'll try the noapic option when I get back to my office but it's interesting how so different environments seem to produce similar errors. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's probably not a CentOS-specific issue we're dealing with here.

Re: [CentOS] About addition of hardware and kernel
--- Original message --- From: Jose Luis Marin Perez jolumape...@hotmail.com Sent: 10.3.'10, 21:07 Dear Sirs I have a ML370 G4 server with 1 CPU Intel (R) Xeon (TM) 3.60GHz and 2GB of RAM with operating system CentOS 4.7 and kernel 2.6.9-78.0.22.ELsmp We have acquired 1 CPU and 2 GB of RAM additional to improve the functioning of the server, my question is whether the current kernel can support the addition of hardware or if I need a new kernel or install any additional software. Thanks Jose Luis Should work flawlessl after installing the additional CPU and memory; maybe you want to check the server vendor's support pages for BIOS upgrades, there may be newer versions. As you have to take the machine out of service anyways, this is a good time to check this, too. (OTOH: Never touch an running system, so if it finds all the memory and CPU installed additionally and there's nothing noted in the BIOS changelog, you can ignore it.)
