I can confirm that this is a bug added to the latest releases og MySQL.

I tested it only in VM (both VMware and XEN).

How to reproduce.

* start a CentOS VM with MySQL
* abruptly turn the VM off (not shutdown, of course)
* restart VM
* MySQL starts but the connections via /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock do not work

1) I give Ashley credit for knowing his systems and knowing if the system in
question needs such a kernel module in order to boot.

2) Fairly low likelihood that the system needs such a module in order to
even boot.  Might need it for full functionality but that can be handled later.

3) I carry around a USB hard disk with Fedora on it.  If I can get a system
to boot from the drive, it always seems to work.  Experience says most
systems will boot without any non-standard pieces.

Cheers,
Dave

I suspect there's 100 to 1000 XP systems for every RHEL/CentOS desktop

We have 3 XP desktops connected to the LAN in our home. We also have 3 
Win7 laptops. I used to dual-boot fedora on one of the laptops, until 
windows refused to apply SP1 because of grub's alterations to the 
MBR...  it was happy to install with Dell's MBR, though (which starts up 
their customized version of CyberLink's PowerCinema, called MediaDirect) 
when an alternate 'On' button is used).

I have 2 (it's not that I *hate* GNOME3 as much as I'm waiting for as 
many bugs as possible to be worked out before I'm forced to give up 
something that works fine and use something that, well... doesn't; 
preferably one in which alacarte is functional and actually edits/saves 
the GNOME3 menus).

I also have used the script from http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ to 
install google's Chrome repo and Chrome 28+ (up to version 31.something 
now) on both those C6 machines, and am completely happy with the way it 
sequesters the updated libs (grabbed from a fedora 15 archive repo) from 
the 'stock' libs so only Chrome accesses and uses them.

how many XP systems are still in use?   how many people use C6 as a desktop?

also, Microsoft has done a remarkable version of maintaining BINARY

[CentOS] And then there was one (browser)

2013-12-19 Thread Robert Arkiletian
About 6 months has passed since the last working version of Opera
(12.16) for Linux was released. Opera 18 (Win+Mac only) is now based
on Chromium so I'm not holding my breath for it to work with C6 even
if it is ever released.

Chrome/Chromium is pretty much history too (libs too old). So Firefox
is the only game in town. Even lesser knowns like Midori won't work
either. Considering the amount of time left in the C6 support cycle,
one would have thought TUV would have worked with Google to find a
solution but I haven't heard a peep.

How can XP, an ancient OS going EOL in a few months, still be
supported for the latest Chromium but C6 not?

Does anyone know of secret plans to eventually support Chrome/Chromium
on C6? (crossing fingers)

[CentOS] quota and selinux on centos 6.5

2013-12-19 Thread EljiUdia
    Hi,


I'm facing a challenge with selinux and because I don't got an explanation 
elsewhere, I'm trying to explain here.
I have decided to mount /var/spool/cron on a separate partition  and apply 
quota for regular users. But quotacheck replyes with a "permission denied" .

quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile /var/spool/cron/aquota.user.new: 
Permission denied
quotacheck: Cannot initialize IO on new quotafile: Permission denied


Indeed,  files in that directory has a context witch denies quotacheck process 
to write files. To became suitable fo quota, those files (aquota.user and 
aquota.group) must have quota_db_t type(in context).
If I use restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user , it reports that is no default 
context for that file.


[root@CentOS active]# touch /var/spool/cron/aquota.user
[root@CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/
[root@CentOS active]# ls -lZ /var/spool/cron/
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_cron_spool_t:s0 aquota.user


[root@CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user

Take a look on the last file . Isn't a default context for

I've run into two of these myself: libedit and libgd.  Both of these are 
living, useful libraries, without direct replacements.[*]

Clearly there are RPMs shipped in the distro that require these 
libraries.  I guess Red Hat are saying that they don't intend that you 
develop your *own* software against these libraries.

   MAILCHECK
  Specifies how often (in seconds)  bash  checks  for  mail.   The
  default  is  60 seconds.  When it is time to check for mail, the
  shell does so before displaying the  primary  prompt.   If  this
  variable  is  unset,  or  set  to  a  value that is not a number
  greater than or equal to zero, the shell disables mail checking.

You can disable the message with biff n (IIRC).  You can also redirect
root's (future) mail to a user mailbox by modifying /etc/aliases and 
running newaliases when done.  (That will not do anything with mail
already delivered to root.)

The message is system-generated.  The mail is very likely output from
various system jobs, like cron jobs or other daemons.  In theory a
person could have send a message to root but that's not very common.

> 4. Is this message gain any importance ?

The only way to know is by reading the messages!  Some of them may
simply be informational, others may be important.

Your current running kernel version is 3.9.3.  Someone has installed
a kernel from a source other than the base CentOS repository and booted
it.  You may have 2.6.32 installed somewhere on this box, but it wasn't
used for this boot.

> What is 3.9? In Ubuntu, uname -r and /boot give the same version numbers.

/boot is not authoritative for the running kernel, because /boot can
hold many different kernels (or really anything you put there).  uname
is authoritative for the current running kernel, and grub is (mostly)
authoritative for the kernels available on the next boot.

> Do we have a mapping of CentOS versions, the numbers like 3.9 and
> kernel versions maintained somewhere?

You can look in the vault:

http://vault.centos.org/6.4/

Keep in mind that there may be more than one distributed kernel for a
given CentOS release, since there are updates to packages as well.

I would agree that BackupPC is a great tool, stable and well respected, 
and I have to admit I didn't give it a fair chance before moving on to a 
simple, crude homebrew solution many years ago.

One thing I neglected to mention about using inotify+lsync for a 
near-real-time secondary file server is that if the primary server 
croaks, I can quickly switch users to the secondary.  When the primary 
server is repaired, a one-shot rsync to it brings it back to the current 
state of users' files.  This conflicts a bit with non-deletion of old 
files on the secondary, but it keeps users going while repairs are made. 
  I haven't had to use this trick ... yet.  ZFS Raid-z3 and disk hot 
swap have done their jobs well so far.

I'm toying with the idea of keeping a marker file on the secondary whose 
timestamp can be used to limit rsync back to the primary to only those 
files which got added while the secondary was being used.  That would 
take care of the non-deleted files issue on the secondary.  Fortunately 
there are no database files involved in any of this.

I second this. Both repos are great but use just one of them on a
given system. If you find some package(s) missing, try contacting the
maintainer and see if that can be added. The maintainers (NuxRo and
megatux/tux99) are active in the EL community.

It's good to remember that we were all once new to linux, that some 
people whose first language isn't English face a much tougher challenge 
learning and speaking about it, and that we're all here for helping-- to 
receive help and to give help.

Caveat: don't mix those two repos.  Either one by itself works fine; 
mixed not so fine.  I use both on a few machines, and both work well, 
individually.  I had one machine with both; not a good idea.

It looks like Nux Desktop and LinuxTECH repos have it.  Untested by me.
In the case of the Nux Desktop x86_64 one (LinuxTECH only has i686)

[CentOS] Simple-Scan

2013-12-19 Thread Joseph Hesse
Hi,
I just upgraded from 6.4 to 6.5.  In 6.4 I had a scanner program 
"simple-scan".  I can't seem to get it for 6.5.  I tried the elrepo and 
forge repositories but they are not available there.  I tried to rebuild 
it from source but that didn't work.  Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.  FYI: My Fujitsu scanner is not TWAIN compliant but it 
works with "simple-scan".
Thank you,
Joe

CentOS 6.5 doesn't ship with a 3.x kernel.  If it was a 2.6.32-something
kernel then it would likely be an official kernel ... not a 3.x though.
 Possibly from elrepo or another third party repo.

That's why this might be of interest to the OP.

Got the exact same problem after upgrading to CentOS 6.5, and I was not
the only one. The archives of this ML would bring you help, check the
thread I started:
  Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:26:19 +0100
  From: wwp 
  To: centos@centos.org
  Subject: [CentOS] Upgrade to CentOS 6.5 -> issue with Broadcom Wifi

As suggested by contributors here, and as written at 
http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod,
I ended up installing the latest available driver by building the RPM
from the archive of the sources. The procedure is described at the link
above.

[CentOS] Centos6.5 -- Broadcom BCM4313 -- having trouble connecting

2013-12-19 Thread Johan Vermeulen
Dear All,

I'm having trouble on 2 laptops Lenovo B580 since upgrading to Centos6.5.
( Because it's a Lenovo I cannot switch the network card for a better 
supported network card. )

There on the latest kernel :

root@jac network-scripts]# uname -a
Linux jac.cawdekempen 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13 
13:06:13 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


With the help of the Elrepo Broadcom page I got the driver and that part 
works fine.
The network card works :

# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4727 (wl)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="c0:14:3d:c1:f6:ef", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", 
NAME="eth1"

# uname -a
eth1  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr C0:14:3D:C1:F6:EF

But I cannot connect to any wireless network with neither of the machines.

I click on the gnome-nm-applet and type in the password.

Hi,

Basically, this is just a "You've got mail" notification.

Most likely these are system generated logs or errors being mailed to
root.

When logged into root type "mail" to see them.

Importance wise, it depends on what you perceive as important.

I myself like to know what is going on with my system so I leave them
on, while others do not.

Disabling them would involve either, disabling postfix all together (or
any other mailserver), this would prevent all system mail. 

Or, if you are using this as an email server, disabling other things such as
logwatch, and any other script which may mail root, 

Lastly another option is creating a dumby user for all mail directed at
root to go by setting up aliases in /etc/aliases (Basically at end:
root: dumbyuser) and then running newaliases.

Hope this helps :-).

Jake Shipton (JakeMS)

Hi, 

Why I get this message  " You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root "   in 
CentOs?

My queries are the following -
1.  Why this is generated ?
2. How to disable this ?
3. Is this system generated ?
4. Is this message gain any importance ?



Thanks,

Re: [CentOS] CentOS, linux and kernel version

2013-12-19 Thread Cliff Pratt
3.9.3 is the kernel number. All Linux distributions use the Linux kernel,
so Debian version X and CentOS version Y may use the same kernel as may
Ubuntu version Z. There may be a list of CentOS versions and kernel numbers
somewhere, but I can't see that it would be of great interest.

My Ubuntu 13.10 shows 3.11.0 so you have a fairly old Ubuntu version there.
In general the Ubuntu kernel will be newer than the more conservative
CentOS/RHEL.

Cheers
Cliff
