I wouldn't dream of sending big files like that by email, but this is a 
windows user who 'wants to get things done, not play with computers'.  Her 
experience is that she can send a big pdf to her printers, so she wouldn't 
think that he sets his mailbox to accept unusually large files.  As far as 
she's concerned, I'm at fault.  She even read the 'Message size exceeds fixed 
limit' as meaning that my inbox was full.  It's no good trying to tell her 
about better ways.  She wouldn't see that as part of her work.

  Thanks to list members I'll get the file thiis morning.

I've already told her that I'll settle for that, but I'll have to guess 
the 'overheads'.  I know that to attach a 50k file, for instance, raises the 
size of the message by a lot more than 50k.

[CentOS] Anaconda ignores "cmdline" directive

[Amos Shapira]

Hello,

Our environment: CentOS 5.2 (updated over time with "yum update",
current "yum update" lists about 7 packages out of date), x86_64.
Running Xen, building Xen DomU's with kickstart.

We are trying to debug the %post part of the kickstart process for
DomU and are hitting difficulties in accessing the output.

For a start, the "cmdline" directive in the kickstart seems to be
ignored and it stays in "text" (ncurses) mode.

Here is the kickstart file we use:

install
url --url http://a.b.c.d/centos/5.2/os/x86_64
logging --level=debug
lang en_US.UTF-8
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip=a.b.c.e
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=a.b.c.f --nameserver=a.b.c.g
--hostname domu-hostname
rootpw --iscrypted $1$password
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
selinux --disabled
timezone --utc Australia/Sydney
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=xvda --append="console=xvc0"
poweroff
cmdline
# Partitioning
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=xvda
part pv.2 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=xvda
volgroup xxx --pesize=32768 pv.2
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=xxx --size=1024 --grow
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=xxx --size=256 --grow
--maxsize=512
%packages --nobase
wget
%post
set -x
echo hello world

Can anyone point what are we missing?

Googl'ing around just keeps coming up with pages saying that this
should work (e.g. "Running anaconda in real text-mode" and "Logging
%pre and %post" in http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart) but
the problem so far still remains that Anaconda uses ncurses, not
"cmdline".

Thanks,

--Amos

Boot from the install CD with 'linux rescue' at the boot prompt so you

[CentOS] Desktop: Evolution & Bug Buddy issues (GNOME)

[Lanny Marcus]

Is this issue in the CentOS Bugzilla or Upstream Bugzilla? I use a fully
updated CentOS 5.2 box. Frequently, when I close Evolution, I get a message
from Bug Buddy, the Bug Reporting Tool, that Calendar has crashed. I do not
use the Calendar Application. I use Evolution for email and contacts. Then,
when I try to send the information, I get an error message:

Bug Buddy has encountered an error while submitting your report to the
Bugzilla server.  Details of the error are included below.

The fault code returned by Bugzilla is not recognized. Please report the
following information to bugzilla.gnome.org manually:

999:please_try_with_newer_gnome

I also have KDE installed (rarely used, but it's there) and during some very
brief use, with KDE, the Evolution Calendar Application also crashed, so it
is not limited to GNOME.

I did not have this issue, before the recent upgrade to CentOS 5.2.

I don't have immediate crashes but random freezes on a Intel BOXDG965RYCK.
About every 1 hour, the system would freeze. Turning off X fixed the issue. 

Since your post I enabled X using the vesa driver (the system is a new 5.2 
install) and so far everything is good...

I guess alsa and /proc are all fine on my machine, but I've got a

[CentOS] Anyone using TCP Connection Passing?

[Amos Shapira]

Hello,

We are looking at ways to improve our cluster fail-over and one thing
that we wonder about is the possibility of passing tcp connections
from the primary server to the secondary when the primary dies.  I
found tcpcp (http://tcpcp.sourceforge.net/) and tcpcp2
(http://tcpcp2.sourceforge.net/) but they seem to be inactive (last
release was two years ago) and requires also changes in the
application level.

I though that I saw somewhere an implementation of the simple idea of
having the secondary tracking the connections (sort of "shadowing" the
primary) and when the primary disappears it can take over everything.
e.g. the following points to some interesting links:
http://archive.gscept.com/2006/dev/?p=266

Has anyone here got to implement something like this? Our platform is
CentOS 5 x86_64.

Thanks,

Re: [CentOS] Can't run a bash script from USB drive

[Spiro Harvey, Knossos Networks Ltd]

How can I control this (i.e., allow 'exec' on my USB drive(s))?


either:

mount /media/usb -o remount,exec

or more preferable, add exec into the /etc/fstab entry for your usb 
drive (you might have to create one). It'll look something like:


/media/usb  /dev/sdb1  vfatexec,user0 0



/media/usb is the point you will mount to, and /dev/sdb1 is the actual 
usb device. vfat is the filesystem type, and may be something else if 
you've formatted the stick; but if it's an actual hard drive, it could 
be something like ntfs. "man fstab" has a list of all the filesystems.


"user" will let non-root mount it.

[CentOS] Can't run a bash script from USB drive

[MHR]

I just tried to run a bash script (called "whose") from my USB drive
and I get this:

bash: /mt/bin/whose: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I did some googling and found that this is because my USB drive is
mounted with noexec permission.  When I was running FC8, this was not
the case.

How can I control this (i.e., allow 'exec' on my USB drive(s))?

Sorry. Stupid question again: and if I find inconsistencies, then the
only way to force rpm to correct them yould be something like

yum remove offendingPackage
yum install offendingPackage

or the equivalent rpm-commands?


With apt-rpm you have the possibility to replace a package inline from a 
repository, you can do this with:


apt-get install --reinstall 

This is useful if you damaged files that belonged to an installed RPM 
package without having to uninstall all the packages that depend on it as 
well.


Under the hood it is the same as:

rpm -Uhv --replacefiles --replacepkgs 

The --reinstall feature is also useful when during CentOS QA packages are 
being updated with the exact same version-release. Or when you want to 
convert a RHEL into a CentOS or the other way around.

[CentOS] BackupPC won't fork after CentOS 5.2 upgrade

[Ben]

For some time now i have been running BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.1 
x86_64 however after upgrading to CentOS 5.2 BackupPC will not start.


"sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc start" return OK but there is no BackupPC 
processes.


This fails also.
# sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC -d
# echo $?
0

This succeeds, but of course does not fork.
# sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC

So for some reason after the CentOS 5.2 upgrade it will not fork into 
the background.


I have run the perl debugger over it and up until the fork everything is 
fine.


Nothing appears in the LOG.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ben

Seriously, I now realize that others had also made the same request,

just emphasis, which is tricky in a text-only environment.

So, mea culpa, forgive me my shouting as I forgive your long, long

you have something quite broken on the machine, check for non centos s/w

how about drive space / permissions etc ?

I think I have it solved. A backup script was munging a directory in the

Just set it large until she sends you the file, and then set it back.

Probably only the very recent postings on this exact subject. But no
solution has been discovered yet.

See the thread starting here.

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-July/083517.html

Maybe another pair of eyes will spot something we couldn't yet see.

Much as I dislike getting or giving "you asked for x, but here's how
to do it with y" I'm going to do so here.

Email is one of those things which is great for small files, and such,
but large transfers can cause issues at pretty much every aspect of
the trip. If you've already got a webserver running, add a password
protected area for uploads. You can even set it up to allow webdav
style transfers over https. This avoids any mail handling delays, lets
both parties know it got there successfully, and keeps the clutter out
of the mailserver.

[CentOS] CentOS 5.2 vs. Intel 82801 AC'97 Audio

[MHR]

I have installed 5.2 on my work desktop and everything works perfectly
EXCEPT the sound device.  Here is the relevant lspci line:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)

I tried looking in Google (might have been a bad search), but all I
could find was to add acpi=on to my boot line in grub.conf, and that
didn't do any good.  The volume control shows muted and I can't enable
it.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

postfix (main.cf):

sendmail (sendmail.mc):

sendmail will need a 'make' to be run in the conf dir (probably /etc/mail)

If it's postfix, the parameter is message_size_limit -- the default is
1024 (10MB) if it's not explicitly configured.  This parameter
goes in main.cf.

[CentOS] Xorg "intel" driver on 965Q lockup?

[Ken Key]

Hi Folks,

anyone out there successful in using the new xorg "intel" driver
module on a 965Q-based motherboard with CentOS 5.2?  The old
"i810" and "vesa" work fine, I am looking for anyone else with
experience with the new "intel" video driver in 5.2.

The long of it:

I have a customer's Dell Optiplex 745 (Core2 Duo 6300, 965Q chipset
with integrated video) connected to a 19" NEC  1760V.  Graphical
installs of  CentOS 5.2 completely locks the system when X starts.
Text install succeeds and creates an xorg.conf using the "intel"
video driver.  Starting X causes complete machine lockup (no
network - no ping, SSH dead) requiring a power cycle.  This happens
95% of the time.  I immediately assumed hardware problems but
it passes memtest86 just fine and works with other video drivers.
BIOS was 2.3.1 and I upgraded to latest 2.6.1 - no change.

Unfortunately, a day of testing did not nail down a commonality
of events to explain why the "intel" driver occasionally succeeds.
Usually, it's after I've been in the BIOS menu so I suspect it is
the video being  in just the right state for it to succeed, but
again it is not 100% reproducible.  When the system locks up,
no /var/log/X.0.log has been written or anything in the log files.
I would like to build a kernel with sysrq key enabled to
break into the  kernel debugger on lockup, but I don't have the
time as the hardware will be leaving soon.

Switching  to the "i810" or "vesa" drivers succeed 100% of
the time so I have a workaround: a text install and manual
edit of  /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "i810".  My app is old-school
2D so graphical performance is not a concern of mine.

I've done searches of upstream Bugzilla, xorg, CentOS bugs, and the
'net in general and, while I find X display lockups with the "intel"
driver, I do not find any complete system lockups.  I'll file a bug
against upstream but I'm trying to get a feel of what the scope of
the problem is.  I know there are folks using the "intel" driver
successfully on other distros, so I'm trying to see if this is a
CentOS problem, a RHEL problem, a Dell 745 problem, or just the
one box I have (despite tests).

Thanks for any feedback,
Ken Key

This is a known issue with rpm's http code. It doesn't do cookies. It
can't really follow redirects (302 or otherwise) well, and generally
it's a hack.  That's why Karanbir said to look at rpm's http handling
code.  It was written back when dinosaurs roamed the internet, and was
pounded into rpm with a rather large mallet.

I have a workaround for this problem, should anyone else need it
(contributed by a kind soul who had the same problem on RHEL 4).

if you have evolution28 installed, just add:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/evolution28/lib

to the startup process for firefox3 and all is well.

evolution28 is available from the centos4 base repo, for those who 
do not have it. (I'm told that it is in the RH beta channel if you need
it for RHEL 4.)

There are a whole bunch of evolution28 packaages. I just installed 'em
all, not knowing which one(s) are important.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 5.2 upgrade - urlopen error unknown url type: media

[Kai Schaetzl]

And both repos are synced and correct version, base and updates? I would 
check their content (including repodata.xml etc.) against the CentOS 
mirrors for 5.
I would expect an error like this when the repodata.xml contains the file, 
but it isn't on the repo (which could happen if one excludes files from 
the sync) - that's not the case?

Yes, I have lots of installs, updates, and upgrades running here.  Lots

This system was my workhorse from the start of 5.0 until back in

The problem is deeper than this.  I know that my local repo is being hit

I get the message with different rpms based on what I want to update.  
yum update yum gets the parser as noted.  yum update rpm gets the 
message for the rpm rpm.  yum upgrade gets it on chkconfig.


So there is something that got on this system from one of the 3rd party 
repos that is causing the problem.  Perhaps some MIME lib that I picked 
up from rpmforge, jpackage, or kbsingh

I think you have the right diagnostic, the key is mounted with the

You can confirm this by typing "mount" when the usb key is mounted.

Are you sure the script isn't in DOS format, with CRLF line endings?  If
so then the interpreter it's trying to run is actually /bin/sh^M (with
a control-M at the end).  Which is wrong :-)

Try running dos2unix on it and trying it again.

Maybe you could try:

OK. I've attached a diff and sdiff output. Used together, fast

I would expect you should see something similar, adjusted for your
setup.

Maybe a clue will emerge.

This is on a fully updated CentOS 5.2.

BTW, forgot to ask if you have a CD player (can't remember the start of
thread). If so, when you insert a CD, does it show on the desktop? And
what application do you use to play it? I'm using the stock cd player
that comes with the Gnome desktop. On 5.1 I've also used mplayer for DVD
on this w/o problems (totem doesn't work - missing plugins and never had
an interesting in tracking them down).

Searching the local folder of this list reveals two older postings from 
you about this (one from December, one a few days ago). It seems to 
indicate that your repo is not completely in sync. Either a new sync or 
clean all got you going last time ;-)

The other times a

yum clean all

did the job.  Problems with old metadata, it would seem.

This time I did the clean first and still got the error.

I ran a rsync and did not get any updates to base.

/proc delivers the *truth*. And for some things, settings can be changed
there that are not easily addressed through utilities.

*chuckle* I forgot I was looking at files that always report 0 length
- /proc. So, just in case something is useful, I ran the following and
included its output. Then I snipped out things like hex values that I
figured would be *really* machine specific or indecipherable by the
likes of me (us?).

I inserted some commentry if one of the settings looked like it might
yield a clue, like "closed" when we might expect open. I'm not using my
sound ATM, so mine s/b closed.

After this, I'll pop in Mark Knoppfler's "Shangri-La" and diff the two
files.

[CentOS] Running shell scripts from external media

[James B. Byrne]

OS=CentOS-5.2
media=Kingston 512Mb usb key

Problem:
As 'root', when running a script resident on the external drive mounted at
/media/disk I receive the following error:

/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

The meduia is a 512Mb USB key formatted as ext2/3

# ll
-rwx-- 1 root root 28 Jul  2 17:30 hello.sh

# cat hello.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo Hello World!

# which sh
/bin/sh

I believe that this can be resolved by an entry in /etc/fstab but I cannot
determine what entry to make.

# cat /etc/fstab

I deduce from the various bits of information that I have gleaned thatthe
proper entry in fstab should be something like:

/dev/sda1 /disk auto defaults,user,exec 0 0

However, this is an automounted, removable media.  How do I do enable
execute for this key and retain the auto mount capability?  What impact
will this have on other usb keys?

We're happy to try to help. I have a friend with your model of 
laptop, I'll see if I can sucker him into letting me futz around 
with it for a day or two. I'll report back!



I'm thinking now, we have garnered enough new information that an
assault on google might yield results. I suggest you give it a try.

I decided to investigate proc. I don't know if that might be
fruitful, ... BRB

Well, all directories or empty files all the way down the tree. No joy
in mudville.


Not entirely sure what one would glean from /proc other than that 
the card is present and drivers are loaded for it. There's lengthy 
output for my sound device. I won't paste all of it, but everything 
is located in /proc/asound. My device is also listed under 
/proc/devices as one would expect.


I don't muck in /proc very often other than for testing network 
setups and obtaining cpu and memory information, so the output for 
my soundcard means next to nothing to me other than I know the 
correct driver is loaded.


[EMAIL PROTECTED] asound]$ ls
card0  cards  devices  modules  oss  pcm  seq  timers  V8237  version

Given that your machine is reporting the device as present (despite 
not getting any sound) I am under the impression anything you get 
out of proc would be correct as well. Just to through more confusion 
on the issue. ^_^



Last idea, if no one else from here chimes in. Do a google (again) and
try the alsa or other Linux lists.


I don't know why I never googled around on the Alsa lists. That was 
stupid of me. Opensuse has some forums with this problem as well. I 
didn't see a fix, but I didn't spend too much time looking there. If 
there is a fix, maybe they have an srpm that could be massaged into 
working in CentOS?


If you do find a solution elsewhere I'd really appreciate a link or 
something just for my own knowledge down the road.


Sincerely,

Alex White

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 upgrade - urlopen error unknown url type: media

[Robert Moskowitz]

My first notebook upgrade:

I repaired my old HP nc4010 (bought a new hinge on ebay) and realized 
this was the perfect way to test out the upgrade to 5.2 before doing it 
on my production notebook.


First I updated to 'current' 5.1 (by current I mean I have not synced my 
5.1 local repo since building my 5.2 repo).  I had not used my nc4010 
for a while and the kernel was at 2.6.18-53.1.13 (update took it to 
1.21).  Rebooted and system still working.


I then pointed my CentOS-Base.repo to my 5.2 repo.  I did a yum clean 
all then a yum update yum* rpm and below is what happened:

Hi,
someone successfully using mock 0.9.{7,10} on Centos 5.2 (64bit)? I'm 
trying to use 0.9.10, but I'm not able to produce right cfg files for 
centos builds, cfg files for fedora work fine.

Wouldn't kudzu do that?  Can't test it as I'm not near a Linux machine
right now.  -p will only probe and print to the screen (as you can
also use kudzu to configurehardware according to the man pages).

Were you referring to my remark about unreadability? I replied to John.
Your's are always good to read, although you could trim a bit ;-)

[CentOS] Last and final official release candidate of the com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD is available (RC4)

[Marc Grimme]

Hello,
we are very happy to announce the availability of the last and final official 
release candidate of the com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD 
(RC4). 

The com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD allows the 
installation of a single node open shared root cluster with the use of 
anaconda, the well known installation software provided by Red Hat. After the 
installation, the open shared root cluster can be easily scaled up to more 
than hundred cluster nodes.

You can now download the open shared root installation DVD from 
www.open-sharedroot.org.

We are very interested in feetback. Please either file a bug or feature or 
post to the mailinglist (see www.open-sharedroot.org).

More details can be found here: 
http://open-sharedroot.org/news-archive/availability-of-rc4-of-the-com-oonics-version-of-anaconda

Note: The download isos are based on Centos5.1!
  RHEL5.1 versions will be provided on request.

Have fun testing it and let us know the what you're thinking.
