[CentOS] Thunderbird does not follow url links in Firefox

[Theo Band]

Since the recent update from firefox2 to firefox3 the links in my mails
do no longer work. No window pops up. After some debug I found the
problem. Let's share it with others that experience the same problem:

I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (manually downloaded, that might have
caused the problem, I have not tried with 1.5)
I'm using Firefox 3.0.2 (yum installed CentOS 4.7)

To solve I created a small wrapper script that unsets LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

cat /firefox_wrap
#!/bin/bash
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
firefox $@


To start add :
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/firefox_wrap");
to
~/.thunderbird//prefs.js
(or use the advanced config editor)


The error message (for those Googling around):
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.2/firefox-bin:
/opt/thunderbird-2.0.0.17/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12' not found
(requiredby /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.2/libxul.so)

Cheers,
Theo

Yepp. Most charset problems I've found within apache came from that
setting.

There was nothing out of the ordinary in /var/log/messages.  The

shows nothing out of the ordinary when the driver is loaded.  The
network card works fine until it is under heavy load.

NB: Of course, you can also use AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 if you can be 
sure that *all* the served documents will be that charset. If not, you

[CentOS] Installing a new VM on a xen box.

[James B. Byrne]

HW = HPQ DC7700 DuoCore 1.8GHz, 4 x 2GB RAM, 1 x 1TB SATA (AHCI)
OS = CentOS-5.2 ix_64 (xen)

I am experimenting with Xen and with virtual machines in general for the
first time.  In consequence I have many questions.  However, the one that
I wish answered at the moment is simple:

Given a DVD containing the CentOS-5.2_Final (i386) distribution mounted at
/media/CentOS_5.2_Final on Dom0, what argument do I pass to the "Install
Media URL" argument of the "Create a new virtual system" wizard" to
install the 32 bit version of CentOS-5.2 onto a vm called test-1?

I have tried things like:

/media/CentOS_5.2_Final
/media/CentOS_5.2_Final/images
/media/CentOS_5.2_Final/images/diskboot.img
etc.

All attempts produce the same negative result.  What URL is used to load
the 32 bit OS from the dvd?

I am a digest subscriber so the favour of a direct copy of any reply to
the list is appreciated.

Regards,

Well, apparently you cannot do this at all for a paravitualized guest OS. 
One is required to build an installation tree for the guest OS on the host
dom0 and then use ftp or some similar protocol to access it, which
requires configuring vsftpd or apache.  And I also read that xen is now
out of favour with RedHat and that KVM, which does not apparently support
paravirtualization is the new kid on the block.  Does this mean that I
sould not bother with investigating xen?

In the meantime, since the link given in the VMM GUI help file for the
example installation tree is defunct can some kind soul point me to a
resource that describes how to build sucha thing from a CentOS-5.2 distro
dvd?

I have the following in my smb.conf

 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

Actually it looks as if the problem with the slow browsing may 
not be Samba related since XP Pro and Win2K Pro clients browse 
the network very fast. It is XP Home that is slow. XP Home was 
purposefully "crippled" by MS so it lacks networking features 
in XP Pro and Win2k Pro.

Yes the Enterprise Samba Docs are more than 28 Mb but are
raw in that they refer to Samba 3.2.x as well as having links 
not working and charset specified in some files and unspecified 
in others. There are also countless examples but you have to 
figure out for yourself what applies to 3.0.32 and what does not.

Unless you have a specific problem covered by the bug fixes in
3.0.29 to 3.0.32 in my opinion, I would say stick with the version 
shipped by CentOS. The smb.conf shipped by CentOS is also a good 
working start as compared to a blank smb.conf and a tonne of 
examples in 3.0.32

[CentOS] tg3 ethernet card drops connection under heavy load

[Sean Carolan]

We have an HP DL360 server with dual on-board Tigon3 ethernet cards.
We are using eth0, eth1 is unused at the moment.  Sometimes when the
network interface is under heavy load, for example moving large file
transfers over rsync or NFS, the network interface stops working and
we lose all connection to the server.  The only solution at this point
is to jump on the console and restart the network interface.  I have
not found anything in the log files to indicate what is causing this.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?  Or perhaps you know
how I could troubleshoot this?

Yawn...
Are you informed well enough to know how it was "crippled" as you say?
I think not, it may not be a member of a Windows domain. That's it.
It costs less. That's fair?

I wonder if you apply your analogy to RH? They have Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Advanced Platform versus Red Hat Enterprise Linux? Big price diff
there? Is that RH "crippling" their Linux?

You need a *URL*, that is not a URL! You can either use http or ftp. nfs may 
work as well, don't know.

There's a centos-virt list and there's a lot on virtualization on the wiki. 
Not sure if it would help you here, but it's worth reading!

Anything like this would probably have to be an upstream thing.  But it

i think that the yum setup diverges from upstream already, so i don't see

[CentOS] NameVirtualHost and CGI Problems

[Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED]

I tried to bring up a web server using an
httpd.con that runs well

on: Fedora 8, with httpd-2.2.8-1.fc8

as well as several earlier versions, going
back to Fedora 4.

On the Centos version, I cannot successfully:
   run a NameVirtualHost;
   execute a CGI.

I can bring up a simple page if I avoid the
above.

Suggestions would be much appresiated.

Don't we all like puzzles? All those hundreds of pieces which look
similar? Is that blue one there sky or is it the water? The green one
over there - is it a tree? Is it a part of that house which has been
painted green? 

If you want to solve that puzzle, it often helps to look at the picture
on the top of the box. 

IOW: What did you try to do? What happened? What did you expect to
happen? What does your config look like? Are there any errors in the log
file?

You can just mount the DVD in the ftp server, you don't need to change 
anything. The directory with the Release-Notes is your installation root.

From:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide
28.9. Making the Installation Tree Available

The kickstart installation must access an installation tree. An
installation tree is a copy of the binary Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs
with the same directory structure.

So:

Yawn...
Are you informed well enough to know how it was "crippled" as you say?
I think not, it may not be a member of a Windows domain. That's it.
It costs less. That's fair?

I wonder if you apply your analogy to RH? They have Red Hat Enterprise

there? Is that RH "crippling" their Linux?

I installed JFFNMS - and I hated it right from the start - the interface
was barely usable even with 1920x1200.


Check out www.zabbix.com
It needs an agent, but with the agent, a lot of stuff is autodetected
(drives etc - in Nagios, you've got to do a lot of manual work).
I still like Nagios for its flexibility, though.

Upgrade the driver? Back in my RHEL3 days(I noticed you
were running CentOS 3.9), we didn't even bother using the broadcom
NICs and instead installed e1000 on all the systems due to driver
issues with the broadcom chips(this was back in 2003-2005, DL360G2-G3).

[CentOS] [SOLVED - Sort Of] Installing a new VM on a xen box.

Well, RH implementation of xen appears far less useful from an
experimentation standpoint than I expected.  From the Virtualization
Guide:

With Red Hat Virtualization, 32-bit hosts runs only 32-bit paravirtual
guests. 64-bit hosts runs only 64-bit paravirtual guests. And a 64-bit
full virtualization host runs 32-bit, 32-bit PAE, or 64-bit guests. A
32-bit full virtualization host runs both PAE and non-PAE full
virtualization guests.

So, on my test machine that supports only paravirtualization I can only
run 64 bit versions of a supported paravirtualized guest OS.  This limits
me to essentially CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 ix_64.  I was hoping to be able to
run CentOS-5.2 i386 as a guest as there is no 64 bit Sun JRE that allows
Firefox to run Java applets.

Oh well, this was just a trial to see what was involved with virtualization.

Why not run it in fully virtualized mode instead of paravirtualized?
Does your CPU lack the instruction set needed for full virtualization
under Xen? I've never used Xen myself, followed it off and on and
at least for me it's never looked interesting enough to pull me away
from vmware. Now it looks like Red hat has woken up and seen it is
a dead end too and is moving to KVM as you mentioned.

Indeed.  Here is a summary:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
...
NameVirtualHost 192.168.9.21:80
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

   ...
   RewriteRule ^/$ - [L]
   ...


All access attempts are with http://new.rosemike.net/
with that name appropriately defined in hosts files, as
verified by ping.

Now run as shown, the client gets:
   "You don't have permission to access / on this server."
If you comment out the first VirtualHost block:
   you get the same thing
If you then add to the second virtual host block:
  
 Allow from All
  
you get:
   "You don't have permission to access /index.cgi on this server."
(note that there are links to index.cgi in all directories.)
if you comment out Servername
   nothing changes
If you now expose the first VirtualHost block and change to
  Allow from All
  Deny from None
   you get the page displayed, but not via the CGI, as verified
   by absence debug text the CGI would have added, as well as
   nothing in a log the CGI writes.

Well, you asked.  BTW, I emphasize that this configuration works
well on Fedora, which you can see at www.rosemike.net .

Since you are running CentOS 3 I am assuming this server has been in
production for some time. Did these symptoms just start?
Did you do any updates before this started happening?
Did you install this equipment, or did you assume admin duties from someone
else? Maybe it had the HP net driver installed, and a kernel update broke that.

It does have "address bar". At least my copy of Windows XP Home has it.

my system for a reason, and I'd just as soon it stays gone.

[CentOS] Rebooting CentOS 5.2 XEN Guest

[Brett Serkez]

All,

I have CentOS 5.2 XEN guests running on a CentOS 5.2 host.

At one time when I issued an 'init 6' in one of the XEN guests it
rebooted  Now it seems to halt but virt-manager shows it as still
running and the only way to get the guest to boot is to destroy the
virtual machine and start it again.

Unfortunately I didn't notice precisely when this change in behavior
occurred, I believe it was the last 'yum update' that included a new
XEN kernel, but I cannot say for sure.

Has anyone else noticed this change in behavior?  Any solutions to
restore the older behavior, being able to 'init 6' the virtual machine
was very useful.

Thank you,

Brett

"Home" supports a single multicore CPU but not multiple sockets.  
"Professional/Business" editions support dual sockets (typically only 
found on high end workstations and of course servers). Its a totally 
arbitrary marketing distinction...  Orignially, there was only going to 
be one version of XP at the higher price point (where NT and Win2000 
Workstation already had been), but the market, primarily OEM, complained 
it was too expensive as an alternative to the cheaper win9X/ME system, 
so at the last minute they 'lobotomized' XP into a cheaper "Home" 
edition, primarily by disabling the file security dialogs, domain/Active 
Directory membership support, restricting to 1 socket instead of 2, and 
removing Remote Desktop Server.

James, stop talking to yourself ;-) It's good to look at stock documentation, 
but it's not enough. Search this list archive for "xen" and have a look at the 
archives of centos-virt. You *can* run 32bit PV guests in 64bit CentOS. But 
you need Xen 3.2 for stability. You will find information about that and some 
necessary patches when you do the archive lookups I suggested.

Xen is really easy and reliably to use on CentOS once you know a bit about it.

The list is from M$ "specs".  It says "Dual CPU" (meaning dual socket),

I usually use xm reboot from the host. You can also use reboot from within 
the guest. I remember *one* occurence quite a few months back where after 
an update I had problems to shut a VM down. But it happened only that one 
time. Note, there is a centos-virt list.

If I understand you correctly, you indicate that I
should remove the VirtualHost that does not contain
a ServerName, advice in the delivered httpd.config
file notwithstanding.  In fact, that is how I now
have it, thereby eliminating the protection against
IP address access, which I would rather have.

In any case, as I indicate in another post, it still
fails to properly distinguish on the basis of
ServerName.

I decided to come at this from a different angle and acquired a
"Centrina???" Intel white-box 64 bit Core2 Duo system with Intel VT
technology.  This should give me "full virtualization" capability for Xen.

However, while the installer of the ix_64 package completes without
problem (si long as the acpi=off switch is provided) I get an error when
system first boots after the install followed by a halt

I see this message:

BIOS BUG No explicit IRQ entires. Using default mptable (tell hw vendor)

I get a second message relating to IRQ9 telling me to boot with irqpoll.

Does anyone here know what I need to do to get past this?

Yes, a retest confirms your observation.  I am therefore
left with the need to remove the VirtualHost that
has no ServerName.  I can access the site with an
IP address, which, I think, this is meant to prevent.

[Joseph L. Casale]

I have never setup a Samba server, and the recent thread here prompted to
get on this I need to migrate two XP machines from using iSCSI to Samba.

I thought the "+" preceding a username in the smb.conf file for a
share definition told Samba to use the unix username? Unless I actually
use swat to create and enable the user and take off the + it doesn't work.

Any ideas what swat does when you create a user through that interface?

Is there any way to simply force Samba to use locally created users in the
share definition?

Thanks!

Why would you put user names in the smb.conf file?

Use encrypted passwords, then using the smbpasswd command to
create entries in the smb.passwd file.

smbpasswd -a username

The -a option tells smbpasswd that the user is in the system
/etc/passwd file.  You will still need to type the password.

I've always had to use

   smbpasswd -a unixusername

then give them a password for smb use...   the catch-22 is that SMB uses 
a completely different password hash algorithm than Unix/Linux 
/etc/passwd(shadow) passwords, so you can't use the one for the other.   

Its much much easier if you use a central authentication database like 
LDAP (or if its already in use at the site, Active Directory).

I would hope that it actually offers just "faster", but AFAIK that is what 
it doesn't. AFAIK a PV CentOS 5 on Xen runs much better and faster than in 
KVM. Is that true? I've used KVM only once for a non-PV guest (old Suse 
System) and not with the kernel module.

I still don't see the purpose of that virtual host. If it is for 
"catching" IP only accesses there are several methods to do this. Look for 
 "default virtualhost" in the apache documentation (and in the config 
template coming with CentOS). Also, if that single virtualhost 
documentroot and the main documentroot (in httpd.conf) are not the same 
then all non-hostname access will got to the main server documentroot and 
not your virtual host.

It has to be - it runs on a system that was cobbled together from
stolen ideas and built one kludge on top of another with most of them

Thanks guys,
That's what I guess I didn't know. I was going to use AD integration but
these PC's are dom members but they logon locally as they run some lame software
won't run as a service and needs local admin to work, so I didn't want a domain

I think KVM is still probably at least a year away from being
really usable outside of specialized edge cases. In the meantime
development will shift away from the free Xen causing it to
mostly stagnate and onto KVM.

Yes, a retest confirms your observation.  I am therefore

You need to remove the :80 in the VirtualHost declarations that contains 
Servername entries.


I have several Domain and Sub-Domain host names running against one IP 
using the VirtualHost pratice.

yeah, but like I said, I didn't want a logged in user (can't even enable a

screen saver) to be accessible by "someone". I could create perms denying this 
user
explicitly etc but why? It's easier to make it a local user and not *ever*

No, that's perfectly ok and recommended. His problem was that he was using

I'm using CentOS 5.2 (fully updated) and don't see the problem you

between our systems. As I recall, the libraries are quite a bit
different, between CentOS 4.x and 5.x  Glad you solved the problem!

By the time I received this message I had already installed the ia_64
version of CentOS-5.2 with the BIOS set to IDE emulation.  If now I change
the BIOS to use RAID then the system cannot see the SATA drive at all.

Is it possible to change the BIOS setting to RAID and subsequently load
the necessary drivers from the boot DVD without having to reinstall the
entire system?

If so, then what is the procedure?

This works unless you are looking to search a specific set of files by
name, not just whole directories.

I routinely use searches like this to locate patterns in build trees,
but I typically only want to look in header or c source files (or
sometimes just the Makefiles.  In my case, the find...grep form works
better because there may not be any of the files I want in the
directory from which I begin the search, only those farther down.

[CentOS] smartd and 3ware on centos5

[Aleksandar Milivojevic]

Hi,

I've CentOS5 box with 3ware RAID controller in it.  I can't get the
tw_cli command line tool to work, and smartd also barks on me.  The
tw_cli simply doesn't see the controller, no errors logged anywhere.

When starting smartd, it is much more verbose.  I'm getting a bunch of
messages like this:

can be found here: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Alternatively, upgrade your 3w-xx
xx driver to version 1.02.00.037 or greater.

The configuration file for smartd looks like this:

/dev/sda -d 3ware,0 -a -m root -T permissive
/dev/sda -d 3ware,1 -a -m root -T permissive

I do remember smartd and tw_cli working in the past.  However, last
time I used them was so long ago that I don't remember if it was
before or after upgrade from CentOS4 to CentOS5.

Is it possible to get tw_cli and smartd into working condition on CentOS5 box?

Thanks,
Alex
