Hi,

I just put a simple script into /etc/cron.daily that called 'aide --check' and 
piped the output through mail to an appropriate account.

What happens when you do what the error message above asks you to do?

When grub comes up, hit a key, then hit "a" to append something to the
kernel command line and then add irqpoll to the end of the kernel
command line.

If that works, edit /etc/grub.conf and add "irqpoll" to the end of the
kernel command line there.

[CentOS] Install X from DVD

2008-09-19 Thread Jerry Geis

hi all,

I have an issue where I must not have selected X at install time as its 
not there.

I dont have networking on this box.
I can put the DVD back in unit but I dont have X to run and to software 
add/remove.


How do I do this from the command line with no network so no yum install 
package.


so mount the DVD, cd into the RPMS directory then what command do I run to
install all packages for X from the current directory.

Thanks,

jerry

If you haven't done *any* upgrade on that machine yet, use the
CentOS-Media repo (the .repo file is where all other .repo files are).

Disable all other repos, enable that and do a "yum grouplist". You'll

Re: [CentOS] usb irq problem

2008-09-19 Thread partha chowdhury
i add the "irqpoll" option to kernel line. after the system booted i log
into X with tty1 also login as root with the command " tail
-f /var/log/messages" for monitoring . After 10 to 20 minutes i got the
same message again but this time immediately the system froze up !

i tried it 5 times now and each time is the same result.i also noticed
that the system was behaving very slowly till the message came up like
usually folder copy operation - i usually get 70-90MB/s according to
vmstat 1  comand, but with irqpoll  the maximum i noticed was like
10MB/s.

Am i doing something wrong ?

Ralph,

Ok part of my problem was I was mounting the DVD under /mnt/cdrom 
instead of /media/cdrom.


yum repolist gives
yum repolist
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
repo id  repo name status
addons   CentOS-5 - Addons enabled
base CentOS-5 - Base   enabled
extras   CentOS-5 - Extras enabled
updates  CentOS-5 - Updatesenabled

however when I do the "yum grouplist"
its still trying to do the network yum not MEDIA repo and I get errors.

I am still missing something.

Sorry, I wasnt getting the first time. I never had the edit the repo

then add the line

That lets you do a temporary override. "Man yum" is suggested.

I recommend taking a good look at Digicam.  For the types of tasks
listed above, its very good and fairly easy.  It also supports bulk
processing, tagging images, etc.

Its part image database and part image manipulator.

I'm not sure how you got to that point while trying to install X on that 
machine but UNLESS there has been other stuff added from 
who-knows-where, yum will resolve the dependencies.  That's what yum does.
(You did read the 1st sentence of Ralph's 1st reply, right?  -- "If you 
haven't done *any* upgrade on that machine yet,")? 

Once that system has been cross-pollinated, all bets are off.  If you 
*have* loaded that baby down with updates and/or packages from Fedora, 
EPEL, rpmforge, sourceforge, etc., then you will likely have a bunch of 
head-scratchin' in your near and distant future. Un-bastardization is

Re: [CentOS] Network issues with CentOS 5.2

I appreciate your reply to my email. The steps ou have given me are 
things that I have done and are already in place. I still cannot get the 
eth to activate unless I issue it a static IP it for some reason will 
not activate under the DHCP selection. Has anyone ever experienced this.


If I do assign it an IP it will activate but still has no internet 
connection. I can ping itself but cannot ping any machine outside of it 
or have a machine outside be able to ping it.

I am totally new to using CentOS. Linux in Genera really. I have decent

Jose:   Welcome!

  

Here's the deal my Boss wants us to move more toward linux for some of our
basic users. All I was supposed to do was install CentOS 5.2 and Open Office
and disburse the machines. Simple enough right. So I did this with no issue.
I ran the interface and installed only GNOME and KDE. After installation was
complete I activated the eth-0 and had it on DHCP. I connected to the net
fine and began downloading open office. I left for the day and came back and
I can no longer get back online. The eth-0 wont even activate unless I
manually enter a static IP but still can not establish a connection online.
I treid reinstalling to no avail. Even built a completely new box and still
no avail. I am using CentOS 5.2 i386 DVD.

Like I said I am new to this so any guidance would be appreciated to get me
into the Linux world. Thank you.



 Linux is based on UNIX and networking started there. Networking will
work for you!

I normally install both GNOME and KDE, but 99% of the time, I use GNOME. When I
install from a DVD, I install the majority of Applications and Systems
things I want at
that time. Then, in a Terminal Window (as root), do "yum update" to
update everything
to the latest version, for Security and Stability reasons.

In GNOME, at the lower left hand corner, click on System >
Administration >Network and enter the password for  root (the super
user).
That brings you to a GUI utility called system-config-network  Be sure
that eth0 is shown as "Active" and then highlight it and click on
"Edit". Be sure that "Activate Device when computer starts is
checked". And, "Automatically obtain IP with DHCP". And, Automatically
obtain DNS.

A book I can recommend to you, would be the edition that covers Red
Hat Enterprise Linux  5, of "Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux
Bible" by Christopher Negus. I'm sure that there are other excellent
books, but this one will explain a lot to you. I think the version
that covers RHEL 5 (CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL) is "Fedora 6 and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Bible", however you need to verify that, before
you buy it, because I have an older version of the book. Please note
that much of the book is about Fedora Core. Red Hat Enterprise Linux
takes the best of Fedora Core and is a much more stable distribution,
without the "latest and greatest". So, the book will help you with
CentOS, because CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL.

Hi,

For internet to work properly dns servers needs to be entered if you
are using static ipaddress. Open the terminal and edit
/etc/resolv.conf  file through any text editor and enter dns servers

domain  example.com   # Incase you want this domain to be your default domain
nameserver   xx.xx.xx.xx   # Dns Server ipaddress or hostname
nameserver  xx.xx.xx.xx# DNS Server ipadddress or hostname

save the file and restart nscd service


service nscd restart

As you mentioned you are not able to ping the machine outside kindly
check the firewall rules aka iptables.

iptables -L

If you don't want to use iptables or firewall on this machine then run
the below commands

iptables -F

service iptables save

chkconfig iptables off

Now check the network connectivity by pinging other machines.


Note: You need to be root to perform the above steps

What kind of network card? what network chip, what driver is being
used?

My best guess at this point is the driver doesn't fully support the
network card so traffic cannot pass. Maybe the card is too new.

Run ethtool eth0 (assuming your using eth0), and verify there is
a link detected as well.

I experienced something similar and it turned out that if you run an update
and the kernel changes, then you need to update the network drivers to match
up with the installed kernel.

If you provide details on the type of NIC on your system, I may be able to
provide more help.

[CentOS] Update troubles for wxGTK apps

2008-09-19 Thread Niki Kovacs

Hi,

I have a CentOS 5.2 desktop with the RPMForge repo enabled. I just ran 
'yum update', and there seems to be some trouble with the wxGTK apps. A 
simple 'yum update' gives this error message:


--8<

But when I put an exclude line in /etc/yum.conf for wxGTK, the error

So it looks like Audacity depends on wxGTK 2.6, whereas Amule and VLC 
depend on wxGTK 2.8.


1) Where do I report a bug for that?

2) In the meantime, what can I do? Simply exclude vlc, amule, audacity 
and wxGTK from updates in /etc/yum.conf and wait until the problem is 
resolved?

Jose: Two things: (a) please do not TOP POST on this mailing list. (b)
I wonder if the NIC is working properly? If it's an onboard NIC,
can you disable it and install another NIC, to see if you have
connectivity? If it's a PCI card, pull it out and install another NIC,
preferably another model. Lanny

[CentOS] Problem with Arima HDAMA rev.G with Integrated SiliconImage Sil3114 Serial ATA 4 Ports and 1TB SATA disks. Recomendation for a cheap SATA controller for linux software raid?

2008-09-19 Thread Alexander Georgiev
Dear Everybody,

I am telling you the whole story, perhaps you can give me a better idea.

Almost 3 years ago I purchased Arima HDAMA rev. G motherboard with
integrated Silicon Image Sil3114 Serial ATA 4 Ports SATA I adapter. (
http://www.arimacorp.com/ViewProduct.asp?View=86 ) . BIOS version is
2.13.

My intention is to make a file server, using linux software raid, so I
bought 2 new shiny 1TB SATA II disks, and installed them.
Unfortunately the system does not boot - hangs in the Sil 3114 BIOS
initialization stage. Apparently this is a known problem with Sil3114
and Sil3112:
( http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=ata_drives&message.id=970
)

The Silicon people have issued a BIOS update for this issue, however
they explicitly state - only for ADD-IN cards. Perhaps, integrated
controlers share the same eeprom chip with the motherboard BIOS, and
an attempt to flash it - will render the system unbootable. For
integrated controllers - the mainboard producer should provide the
update.

Apparently the Arima people have sold their business to
http://www.flextronics.com/en/default.aspx. The new site is at
http://www.flextronics.com/arima/server/Product/ViewDownload.asp?View=HDAMA%20rev.G.
The last BIOS update is from 8/30/2006.  And I think this patch well
predates the 1TB hard disks and has been issued before SiliconImage's
patch:
( 
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=28&cid=15&ctid=2&osid=0&;
) .

So I am not willing to risk a BIOS update and I have decided to spend
additional cash on a cheap but fast 4 port SATA II controller and use
it with Centos 5.2.

Where I reside, the following two have caught my attention:

 ADAPTEC SATA RAID 1420SA Serial ATA-150/Serial ATA II-300 PCI-X 4ch
   for 120 USD
( 
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/Controllers/Hardware/sata/entry/AAR-1420SA/
)

and

PROMISE FastTrak TX4300 Serial ATA II-300 PCI 4ch for 160 USD
( 
http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=RAID%200/1%20HBAs&product_id=137
)

Do you have any experience any of these 2 adapters, operating as plain
SATA controllers, under linux software raid?
Which one would you recommend?

Best regards,
Alex

[CentOS] Multiple Linux instances on the same box - dual/triple/etc boot ?

2008-09-19 Thread kevin kempter

Hi List;

I have a new dev server. As an independent consultant I want to  
maximize it's use. Some of my clients use RedHat/CentOS 64 bit, others  
Redhat/CentOS 32bit, some are even using Fedora and Debian.


Here's my thought:

I'd like to install each OS/version into it's own space on the disk.   
I'm thinking all I have to do is install one OS (say CentOS 64bit) and  
partition say 20% of the disk. Then once the install is done, boot  
into the latest fedora disk and do the same, etc.


Is this correct ?

Later I want to add a disk array and allocate a RAID mount point that  
can be mounted by any of the installed Linux'es when it's active.


Is this do-able ? Easily ?


Thanks in advance...

Take a look here:

When I began this thread, on 05 August, I thought we were going to get
the camcorder the next day. We finally got it yesterday! Very long
delay, for the company where my stepson works, to approve it for sale,
at a deep discount...It is DVD and from a review I read about
the camcorder, the quality, with DVD, isn't as good, but, they are
very easy to use. No need to buy a PCI Firewire card.  :-)  All of the
replies
I got to this thread are greatly appreciated! When I began the thread,
I knew nothing about digital camcorders (our old one is VHS-C).

Yes you can do that, but if you have plenty of RAM you might find it 
nicer to install the OS you'll run most on the base hardware, then 
install the free vmware server and install all the others as vmware 
guests so you can run one or more without having to reboot or shut down 
the base system.  The guest images normally live in ordinary files on 
the host so they are easy to manage and they can nfs-mount a common 
share from the host or other system fo access to common space.

If you think $120-160 is cheap, I'm wondering if your company needs
more software engineers

;^)

I have had good luck with Adaptec controllers in the past, and no
experience with Promise, but w.r.t. SATA I couldn't give you any
input.

FTR, my m/b only does SATA-I, and spent a little time looking for a
cheap PCI-SATA-II board (so I could run my SATA-II disks at full
transfer speed) but the cheapest one I found was $60-70, and if I'm
going to spend that much, I might as well get a new m/b that supports
SATA-II (they're cheaper!).

I know that's not much help - sorry.  Hope someone else will have more info

Nfs-mount?  I've been using Samba for the cross-mounting because the
server doesn't come with sharable disk mounts like the workstation
does.  Of course, I'm using Windows in VMWare under CentOS, so the
fundamental system differences may come into play, too (I don't know
how to nfs-mount a Linux disk from Windows...).

When you launched Mozilla Firefox the first time, I suspect that it

Have you tried to "yum remove firefox" and then "yum install firefox"

Renaming ~/.mozilla and reinstalling Firefox cured my problems. 
Apparently the .mozilla file in my Home directory, which was not 
re-formatted, was at odds with the new install.  There was a bit of work 
to reclaim bookmarks, but all appears to be well now.  Thanks to Lanny

What kind of network card? what network chip, what driver is being

Realtek 8111/8168b

No link detected.

When I attempt to install the driver that came on the CD with the box 
r8168-8.006.00. Once I get to the step to Make Clean Modules all I get 
is errors

My best guess at this point is the driver doesn't fully support the
network card so traffic cannot pass. Maybe the card is too new.

Run ethtool eth0 (assuming your using eth0), and verify there is
a link detected as well.

Do you have the kernel-devel package for your kernel installed?

yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r` kernel-headers-`uname -r`

And try the module build again, if it fails post the output of the
command. You could configure a serial console and access the system
that way in order to copy/paste, or perhaps install CentOS in a VM
and try to compile the module there so you can get the error from
the compile.

But it may be easier/better to get another NIC. Realtek doesn't have
a good history of making stable NICs under linux/*bsd.

Yes, but you should probably use a shared /boot, which means 3 things:

1) Make /boot larger. 350MB should do.

2) ONLY format /boot during the FIRST installation. Each install will
throw its kernel in there, so formatting it after would be bad.

3) Change the menu entry name during each install, and don't forget to
change the name of the entry added each time you install/update a
kernel.

The problem with a shared /boot is that it is very easy for poor
installation/update procedures to do wierd things to render the
system unbootable.

I much prefer using the free VMware server for development and
testing different OS versions.  It's far more difficult to screw
the pooch using virtual machines, and one can always make snapshots
before upgrades or major changes making it easy to undo the
changes and try again.  I find this invaluable when testing major
software installations.

Yes, this seems like a case where virtualisation is a good solution. 
I've only just started learning to run Xen myself, but the advantages of 
virtualisation over dual/triple booting etc are pretty clear. As well as 
the ones you mention, different machines can also be run concurrently 
and networked.

but that doesn't say anything about how it is (or will be) resolved...

Are we expected to remove Audacity from our systems, or what?

(or drop the DAG repostiory)

I believe what Dag is saying is that, if you wish to use audacity, you
cannot update wxGTK.  Conversely, if you update wxGTK, you cannot use
audacity.  I'm sure he will eventually resolve the issue.

 What network driver?



On-board port:
Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet 
Controller (rev 13)


Driver:
sk98lin


  
Downloading the latest driver from Marvell and compiling it did the 
trick. It turns out that it was a driver issue.

That is not always the case.  I cannot get ethtool to work.

Settings for eth0:
No data available

And yes I have eth0 up and running.


Does mii-tool work?


After recompiling the latest marvell driver ethtool responds properly.
