Actually, I tried without echo $? first, it display lots of

I can use vlc to play the *.wav or other audio files, but I tried to
figure out where is the block or missing link with the audio. Right
now, no sound when I run vlc to play audio files. If I could check and
play in some means with low level driver first, I guess I could find
if the problem is high level applications or low lever drivers. Seems
that the drivers all there, but don't know if them are working or not.

[CentOS] SIGPIPE in assorted apps after "yum update"
Hello,
I have several systems which I recently updated with
yum -y update
to all the latest packages. These systems use yum-priorities and use
the CentOS (priority 1) EPEL (priority 5) and rpmforge (priority 10)
repositories. After the updates, dhcpd stopped working with a SIGPIPE
error which occurs shortly after it attempts to fork into the
background. I worked around that problem by building a new server with
no additional repos, only CentOS and dhcpd works fine on that system.
Since then I have found the problem, or similar problems with a few
more applications. Here is what the tail of an strace of pbs_mom as it
attempts to fork into the background:
listen(5, 512) = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 6
setsockopt(6, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(15003),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0

This is pretty much the same thing that happened to dhcpd. In both
cases they applications work fine in debug mode when they don't
attempt to fork, but quietly die when ran normally. A third set of
apps, wrappers for the client part of torque (pbs_mom) do this:

write(2, "qstat: cannot connect to server "..., 63qstat: cannot
connect to server moab.hpc.usu.edu (errno=15007)
) = 63
exit_group(-1) = ?
Once again, the app dies after it attempts to fork into the
background. There are other things running on these systems that can
successfully fork and I have been unable to figure out any pattern,
other than if I don't use additional repos then it doesn't seem to
break. That may be coincidental though, I haven't repeated it enough
yet to be certain.
Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated. Unfortunately I noticed
this after deciding it was "safe" to update *all* my machines and so
I'm suffering through a lot of rebuilds/restores because of this.
Thanks,
jbh

I had to start the daemon with a '-p 67' option to get it to stick. So I stuck that into /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd as: DHCPDARGS="-p 67" and it started. Which led me down the "strace with and without the -p option and compare the output" path... Turns out that without the -p option, it looks up the port number to use. nsswitch.conf in my case had "services: files ldap", which caused it to fail. I changed it to "services: files" and it worked. What kills me is that dhcpd died silently... and I have absolutely no desire to put services into my ldap directory... So I've taken out the -p argument, and all is well... Thanks for the assist though! -I ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I use GNOME about 99% of the time, and I'm lost in KDE. Temporarily, I have been using KDE, testing this. Probably I have logged in and out of KDE, opened, used and closed Evolution and Firefox, about 10 times. There is no issue in KDE.

Well, I stripped it down as much as I could - same problem exists... (IP
addresses and domain name changed, of course...)
ddns-update-style none;
ignore client-updates;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.101 10.0.0.200;
default-lease-time 86400;

option routers 10.0.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.75, 10.0.0.76;
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
}
But like I was saying before, if it were a config problem, it wouldn't
have been able to start on the command-line in non-daemon mode. Same
problem when I downloaded it from www.isc.org (3.0.7) and rolled a
source build. So there's definitely something strange (or obvious that
I'm missing) going on...

Add this to your .rpmmacros file:

Then remove the i386 version.

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 and 2.6.18-92 Kernel backported SATA fixes?
Last year to get motherboards with the G33 chipset with SATA working with Centos I had to either use David Harbic fixes or use Fedora 8 since it had the later 2.6.25 kernel. I no longer see David's fixes available and also see in the 5.2 release notes "update SATA driver and infrastructure". Did Redhat finally incorporate fixes to full support the new G33 chipset and SATA? I have more of these G33 chipset motherboards with Q6600 cpu. Trying to decide which is the least hassle setup and long term i386 or x86_64, on either Centos 5.2 or Fedora 9? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well Clonezilla is busy cloning the drive, but there is a problem here cloning to a USB attached drive. One of the partitions is LVM and since this is a drive clone, including the partition table and boot sector, both LVMs (source and target) have the same name. So Clonezilla switches to using DD with probably some bad parameters. After running an hour, it has only copied 4Gb out of 37Gb. Note that the USB port is v1.1. Now actually, I would have perfered renaming the LVM partition and its internal ext3 partitions. I even had a naming convention laid out if I had do this via Install instead. You might want to think about the fact that the drive could map differently from the LBA between the usb adapter and directly hooked up to a system.

Well ... in this particular case there is a problem with a package that
conflicts with something that is part of the base perl.
The issue you bring up is also valid.
IF you have a PURE x86_64 system ... then you can put this line in yum.conf
exclude=*.i386 *.i686
That will keep it pure ... though, we are working on something to give
the previous behavior to yum.

Just to muddy the waters on this a bit more... for me, the rpmforge
perl-Time-HiRes package won't install as it conflicts with my base
installation of perl.
This is on a RHEL5.2 x86_64 system however.
# rpm -qf --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n'

So it seems HiRes is already provided by perl, although the actual file
that conflicts is a man page.

To set the "ignorelockingfailure" and others on the initrd file, can't you just use "mkinitrd"? I was looking into the /sbin/mkinitrd script (on CentOS 5.2), and I saw that it contains code for that, for instance: if [ -n "$vg_list" ]; then emit "echo Scanning logical volumes" emit "lvm vgscan --ignorelockingfailure" emit "echo Activating logical volumes" emit "lvm vgchange -ay --ignorelockingfailure $vg_list" fi I just don't know if vg_list will be populated with the right devices. Anyway, it might be worth a try, specially if you want to do that over and over again, messing with the internals of initrd (gzip, cpio, etc., and specially rebuilding it) is not something you would want to do on a daily basis.

Apparently you have to create a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-gre2 file with content similar to this one: ONBOOT=yes DEVICE=gre2 TYPE=GRE MY_INNER_IPADDR=192.168.61.1 MY_OUTER_IPADDR=79.189.10.22 PEER_INNER_IPADDR=192.168.62.1 PEER_OUTER_IPADDR=84.234.113.51 By the way, I never did this before, and had no idea on how to do it, but Google just lead me to the conclusion that this is the way to go in about 5s. First, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-tunnel is a script, so looking into that file I saw that it was using some variables such as PEER_INNER_IPADDR. I looked for that name in Google, and one of the results was this page [http://bart.prokop.name/blog/unleash/linux/centos.html], which starts in Polish (?) but then continues in English with explanation enough on how to do that. Although using the mailing lists is "easy" and very effective, one of the advantages of Linux is that you can always "look inside" it, and as many components are scripts, looking inside is actually quite easy. Next time, please try to do your own poking and research before going the mailing list route. HTH, Filipe ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi, It's been long since I don't write Proxy rules, but IIRC you have to match /s on the left side and on the right side.

You don't need mod_rewrite for that one, a simple RedirectMatch should be enough (I'm not 100% sure about the syntax though): RedirectMatch /testdiary$ /testdiary/ Please let us know how that goes for you.

Is my memory faulty, or did it change? Actually 99 seems to make the most sense when using it in its native environment on a CentOS box. But when trying to use it in a foreign environment on a RHEL box, 1 seems to be a better choice, because of the repos that are magically created by the rhnplugin, that do not have configurations in /etc/yum.repos.d It would be ideal if there turned out to be a undocumented feature in */etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf *that allowed us to change the default priority. * * The default priority is 99 (If you do not have a priority set). The recommended settings if you are running CentOS is: Priority=1 for [base], [updates], and [extras] ... and Priority=2 for [centosplus] In your case, it makes since (with a RHEL install) to not have centos [base] or [updates] in there at all (since you do not want to install centos packages on RHEL). If you want to use CentOS Extras then I would set the priorities as 2 for that. One thing to remember when using yum from RHEL is that RHN is accessed through a plugin ... so you will need to find a way to set priorities for that differently than CentOS does it. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] How to Auto Add forward slash "/" when accessing a link/url through ProxyPass
Hi Friends,
I am using Centos 5.2 and using ProxyPass to access applications
running on other servers. Everything is working fine except for one of
the applications I need to auto add forward slash when any user tries
to access that application. For ex
ProxyPass /testdiaryhttp://testdiary.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse /testdiary http://testdiary.example.com/
If somebody access directly http://testdiary.example.com/ everything
is coming means the login page but when the same link is accessed
through apache server on which proxypass is running then the login
page does not appear(http://portal.example.com/testdiary). How can I
auto add "/" when somebody put the url
http://portal.example.com/testdiary which should first be
converted/redirected to http://portal.example.com/testdiary/ (auto
added forward slash).
I have the below lines added in httpd.conf file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /testdiary
RewriteRule /testdiary(.)$ /testdiary/
ProxyPass /testdiary http://testdiary.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse /testdiary http://testdiary.example.com/
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Regards
Ankush
