Try removing it from initd config and run a mkinitd for the current kernel?

You may need to add the nvidia one to the initd config or maybe the vesa one so 
graphical boot works.

Hey Devin,

I'm feeling a little silly now and I swear I checked for this but you hit the 
nail on the head. Turns out I had pushed a service that was dependent on 
network further down the list so whenever I enabled snmpd in chkconfig it would 
re order network below the other dependent service. 

Thanks again for the help!

grub shipping with 5.6 can not boot from ext4 formatted partitions.

There is no need to compile nvidia binary drivery. There is nVidia

Hi, Jerry

Try appending 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to the kernel line in grub.conf (and keep 
the blackist in modules.conf)

- install CentOS and reboot as usual
- preempt booting at the grub menu and append 'rdblacklist=nouveau 3' to the 
kernel line to disable nouveau and start up in init 3
- install the Nvidia binary driver.  Optionally, do a yum upgrade, reboot back 
to init 3 and build the driver on the latest kernel
- edit grub.conf and remove the '3' and reboot again

Nouveau will now stop loading and use your nvidia driver

cheers,

Hold onto your hat Jerry... 

Upstart has already been replace by systemd in Fedora 15 and most other
major distros are planning to use it too. RHEL 7 will most likely switch
to systemd if it stays in Fedora. If it does everything planned you may
even see it in a 6.x point release. This after only about a year in
distribution.

I'm afraid I don't have the answers to those ones.  Although I
occasionally have need to deal with SuSE, the Linux distributions I 
use most of the time are RHEL/CentOS.  The most I can do is point
you at google, although knowing the SuSE relationship might help
you there.

My suspicion is that assuming that RHEL has indeed changed the 
mechanism we're in the "growing pains" transition period where
various rc scripts may need to be tweaked (especially custom ones).

Again just guessing (my one test CentOS 6 system doesn't currently 
have snmpd installed) have a look at not only the snmpd script but
also the ones that should have been started between network and snmpd.
It sounds like some dependencies are missing.

In particular, do your "other services" depend on $network, either
directly or transitively?

You might also want to experiment with 'chkconfig XX reset'.

Hi Devin,

Is it possible to sticky a service then to always start at the value chkconfig 
lists? Moving various services around like that isn't very helpful when I 
specifically need services to start is an exact order.

Or if I do remove the BEGIN/END INIT INFO block from the init scripts will that 
cause issues??  What's the solution in the SuSE world when someone wants a 
service to not get reordered??

Thanks!

[CentOS] Strange problem with LVM, device-mapper, and software RAID...

[Robert Heller]

Running on a up-to-date CentOS 5.6 x86_64 machine:

[heller@ravel ~]$ uname -a
Linux ravel.60villagedrive 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 15 07:31:24 EDT 
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

with a TYAN Computer Corp S4881 motherboard, which has a nVidia 4
channel SATA controller.  It also has a Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
88SX7042 PCI-e 4-port SATA-II (rev 02).

This machine has a 120G SATA system disk on the motherboard controller
as the system disk:

[heller@ravel ~]$ sudo /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders

/dev/sda2 126   14593   116214210   8e  Linux LVM

/dev/sda1 is /boot and /dev/sda2 is a LVM Volume group (named "RavelSystem")
with two logical volumes (named "root" and "swap"), containing the root
file system and a base 1G swap area.  So far so good.

On the Marvell controller are 4 1.5GB disks arranged as a RAID10 array:

[heller@ravel ~]$ cat /proc/mdstat

This RAID10 array has a second LVM Volume Group (named "RavelData2") on
it, also with two logical volumes (named "data" and "largeswap"), a
large data file system and a 16gig swap area.

We are getting a strange message from device mapper on boot up:

'253:6' happens to be the large swap space:

brw-rw 1 root disk 253,  4 Jul 22 14:13 RavelSystem-swap

The weirdness is this:

1) the large swap space is not being activated automatically on boot. It
can be manually activated with the swapon command, and as a stopgap
measure, I've added a swapon command to rc.local

2) vgscan, vgchange, and vgdisplay are not seeing RavelData2, *even
though* the system has no problem mounting the data disk during boot
and swapon has no problem activating the largeswap swap area (at least
once the system is in full multi-user mode). And (appearently) the
device mapper is perfectly happy to do its thing (more or less) with
these logical volumes.

SuSE (and perhaps some other distributions) have for a few years
been using that BEGIN/END INIT INFO block instead of the 'chkconfig'
line to determine ordering, and will do exactly as you described.

Without having looked into the CentOS 6 case, I would guess that
the mechanism used in RHEL has changed to match.  This could very
well be related to the LSB project, although that's just a guess, too.

well, I suspect he wants to route based on it being SIP traffic, which 
is typically 5060 or 5061 tcp or udp, so will have iptables NAT these to 
an IP on the subnet of the alternate VLAN, then he'd use that VLAN's 
address as the rule for the source-based routing.

this sort of thing really belongs on an iproute2/netfilter mail list, 
however, as its not at all centos specific.

You need this because you want to route based on the source address, not 
the destination.  That might be what the OP wants too, but it's not 
clear from the question and doesn't have anything to do with the 
interfaces being vlans.

Thanks for the full syntax; even though this is one of the first things I do on 
all new installs (whether CentOS, Fedora, or even Ubuntu; anything using gdm), 
I always seem to have to look it up and Akemi's page is one of my bookmarks 
for that reason

Since my normal use machine runs KDE, and I use KDM on it, it's not something 
that I have to deal with on my own box

To route stuff out different interfaces, I found I had to use ip rules.

In my case, I wanted specific local hosts (on the private LAN) to route 
out an alternate interface, so I did something like...


iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.1.0/24 -j SNAT --to $net2.98

ip rule add from $net2.96/28 table 2
ip rule add from 10.0.1.0/24 table 2

ip route add default via $net2.97 dev $port2 table 2



to explain this, the LAN is 10.0.0.0/16.  hosts on 10.0.0.0-255 are to 
be routed out the default interface, while a few hosts specifically put 
on 10.0.1.98-110 are to be routed out this 2nd interface, $net2.96/28

the two ip rule commands tag any traffic that is from either the second 
external circuit or the reserved subnet of the local network to use 
'table 2'.  the ip route command says anything thats table 2 is to use 
the second circuit's gateway and port

[CentOS] CentOS 6.0 chkconfig strange behavior

[Jerry Moore]

Hi,

I'm noticing some strangeness with chkconfig on CentOS 6.0 and was looking for 
a bit of advice.

It appears that chkconfig is re sequencing or re ordering the start priority of 
various services when turning on a service using chkconfig.
Example is the network service. Under normal circumstances network is set to 
start at S10. However when I add something like snmpd and invoke chkconfig 
snmpd on it will change network to S81. Which fouls up some of my other 
services that look for config files on NFS shares.

Testing this issue with the snmpd service I removed $network from 
Required-Start which did nothing.

The only solution I've found is to remove the entire BEGIN INIT INFO to END 
INIT INFO section. Once that is removed it no longer changes the network 
startup priority when enabling the snmpd service.

Seems to me that you'd want network started before snmpd. So why chkconfig 
wants to re arrange it to start after snmpd which defaults to S50 is beyond me.

So why would it do that? Did I miss some documentation or something? :-)

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

You can use "sudo -u gdm gconftool-2
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list --set --type=boolean true"
because the "gdm" user controls the login screen but the above works
too because it makes that setting default for all users. You can also
make it mandatory with "gconftool-2 --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory

"ksdevice=..." shouldn't be in the kickstart file but on the
installer's kernel line if you're cd-booting or on the append line if
you're pxe-booting.

I use ocsinventory-ng for this, but it doesn't report until everything 
including the agent is installed and on the right network.

I think nics that use the same driver or at least sets on the same card 
are detected in the same order.  Ours tend to have at least a pair of 
Broadcomm and one or more pairs of Intels and the pairs tend to flip 
randomly until they are nailed down with a HWADDR= entry in the 
ifcfg-eth? file which must rename them after kernel detection.

That's a great question. Sadly, my answer is somewhat idiosyncratic 
and less likely to be of use in larger environments.

In our small-office environment, I rarely kickstart a new server until 
after I've booted it into a rescue environment. The initial boot 
allows me to inventory the MACs (for dhcp), adjust IPMI network 
settings, check for driver issues, and double-check to ensure that the 
hardware matches the order. (I've only had one case where a vendor 
shipped less RAM than we'd purchased, but I'm glad I identified the 
problem before I wrote any data to the hard drives.)

It's during the MAC inventory that I identify eth0, eth1, ... I've 
never had a case where the order in the initial boot environment 
didn't match the kickstart environment.

Some are only available if you run them as the right user, as well.  If I'm not 
mistaken, for gdm that would be the user 'gdm'.  So you need to run that above 
as user gdm with su -c $command gdm or similar.

Using gdm is getting harder and harder but you can try:

gconftool-2 --direct \
  --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
  --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true

There are many features available via gconftool-2 or gconf-editor only.

I can only assume it's related to what they think they're doing.  Remote
accessing other machines and accessing files/email seem to be two different
things.  I'm not sure files and email necessarily give the sense of it being a
remote resource in the same way.

Remote Desktop on windows doesn't use kerberos does it?

Vlan interfaces should work like any other interface in terms of 
routing.  Things should follow the most specific route (smallest netmask).

Maybe this helps you remember. You might have turned it of if you 
haven't needed it for anything, but used udev directly instead.

For a WebEx-like environment check out BigBlueButton (not easy to 
install though). Or use Gtalk which supports video and does not require 
you to host a server.

Hosting a teleconference (not sure about support for video) is supported 
by FreeSWITCH (for small to large environments) and Asterisk (would not 
bet the farm on this for large environments).

I get that when I'm using PuTTY with pageant, automatically presenting an ssh

[CentOS] Keyboards

[m . roth]

On my new Dell system, it's got a cardreader. More to the point, it's got
an idiot menu key... *right* next to the right control key, and just where
the annoying keyboard design has it cut down from the oversize space bar
ASCII art

 
 Alt>[ tall spacebar  ] alt> Win> menu>

The result is that just trying to type, I regularly hit the thing. Does
anyone have an idea how to disable this forever (if y'all don't, I'm

There seem to be a number of problems with X: I *finally* solved mine
yesterday, of being forced to use one (very small) font with rxvt, when I
found that installing X did *not* install xorg-x11-fonts.

However, I find it very disturbing that haldaemon isn't on by default. I
haven't noticed this - has anyone else?

[CentOS] problem starting X11 on centos 6

[Jerry Geis]

Hi All,

I had an issue. Manually installing Centos 6 everything worked X11 came 
up with nvidia binary drivers. Cool.
However, I am working on a kickstart install for Centos 6 and that was 
not working. When I started X it
would hang. no mouse no keyboard. however , remote ssh was available and 
worked.

Thinking I had some serious bug in nvidia binary was my thought - but I 
kept looking.
I saw this error:

(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null)

in the X log file.

I continued to look and sure enough hald was installed but not running.
I did service  haldaemon stop and it said FAILED as expected, then 
service haldaemon start
and it started up. Curious

chkconfig --list | grep hal reports
haldaemon   0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

So thats the reason of course, it was not set to start. Question is why

certainly I can put in my kickstart post script to change chkconfig
but why is it not set to start

Thanks for any insite.

Jerry

6.1 CentOS packages are already building, as are 5.7 (in parallel).

Do not mix building and re-compiling packages. 5.7 packages are all 
already known and there was no real show stoppers to re-compile them.

6.1 packages are different story, and I am sure there was several show 
stoppers that delayed it. Anyhow, it has been only two weeks from 6.0 
release, and original projection for 6.0->6.1 was 1 month.

I am wondering how LiveCD release is going, there are several people 
interested in it.

You can check Ekiga[1]. It is a LInux/Windows/Source-code SIP 
application with video capability. As far as I could make it out, 
Asteriks server can be used for interconnection. Can't say about the

Whatever is done I can only thank the CentOS team for doing this work
while taking an huge amount of heat.

IMHO, companies on the CentOS 5.x have just recently migrated to 5.6
and I believe there is a lot less pressure for them to go to 5.7.

However, CentOS 6.0 is the first release and most companies ignore
those for a reason. That puts more pressure on releasing a 6.1 version
which companies will actually consider using.

Just my $0.02

If a hardware vendor states that he supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux of
a specific release, this does not mean, he would support the
corresponding CentOS, Scientific Linux or OEL release. It can be a good
will activity, but may be bound to the supporter you talk to. In
general, the hardware vendor will request you to demonstrate the issue
you have with the supported RHEL release.

Hi John,

Yes i tried it, Centos 4.8 is supported on IBMX3200 M3, thanks for this.

Also i want to use Dell ones 
[R310,
R410, R415, R510, R610 and R710]
i found on the page of "Operating System Support Matrix for Dell PowerEdge 
Systems" [http://advisors.dell.com/advisorweb/iDriveMatrixView.aspx]
that they all do support "RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 4" Update 8 x86 & Update 8 
x86_64

So do they also support CentOS 4.8 for sure?
as Dell also doesn't give a formal answer onto this.

Thank you

The dilemna is for the CentOS developper team. Following the decision 
last January, it would be natural that the priority would be to release 
5.7, as there are "millions" of existing systems needing to be updated, 
rather than releasing 6.1, where very few systems are already in 
production, and 6.1 updates are backported to 6.0.

So I fear that 6.1 will be postponed...

I/we have done this on a few systems with vanilla CentOS and no problems. Do 
note however that not all usb-sticks are the same (performance can vary _a 
lot_).

I simply wouldn't build a system that is dependent on USB for the rootfs
full-time, unless it's very unimportant.  I've seen USB ports get disabled
while in-use plenty of times.  Instead, an ATA to CF or SD adapter can be
had quite inexpensively.

[CentOS] package recommendation for video conferencing

[Geoff Galitz]

Hi.

We have a need for a video conferencing package with the following specs:

- cross platform client support (Linux, Mac, Win)
- server side runs on Centos 5 and later with easy package installation routine 
(e.g. RPM)
- can host a teleconfernce with no users connected (IOW, it can wait for users 
to connect at any time)
- supports mulitple users per video conference


Recommendations?

Thanks.
