Was that *ext4* single quoted? If not bash seems to grab that glob and find the doesn't get passed what you want (at least I think that is what happens). If you're not too fussy about the source of the file, Google shows up a ext4.h with a search for the same. currently, i have no ext4.h header file anywhere under /usr/include, and i have both packages kernel-devel and kernel-headers installed. i'm sure i'm doing something stupid. Sorry, I replied off list before. I've put it back on in case anyone else can help. What about the kernel SRPM? In the SL6 kernel SRPM there is a tar.bz2 file which contains the full source including fs/ext4/ext4.h and a bunch of other related headers. SL5 will be similar I would think.
gnome desktop with garbled letters and glibc problems
Hi, I'm trying 6.0 version out if it is a good choice for production servers. This is not an major issue, just a pain in the ass. All the letters on the Gnome Desktop (i think) are all garbled. Tried looking language packs with no luck. i18n is configured to use en.US utf-8. There isnt a xorg.conf to configure the language. Maybe its deprecated. Anybody have a solution for this one? Maybe it works after selecting during install, but I tried the minimal install to see just how minimal it is. Another problem, there seem to be 2 glibc packages with different versions and I cant delete either of them. Had to exclude glibc* in yum.conf in order to update recent packages. We wont be using them as desktops, I have Ubuntu for that. But this should work out of the box in my opinion. Glibc is a far more serious issue. I want the newest version, of course. Anyways keep up the good work. Thinking about changing from CentOS to SL but I am not so sure anymore. -- Running transaction check -- Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6 for package: glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 --- Package glibc-common.i686 0:2.12-1.7.el6_0.3 set to be updated -- Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 (@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201103021620.i386/6) Requires: glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6 Removing: glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 (@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201103021620.i386/6) glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6 Updated By: glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.i686 (sl-security) glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6_0.3 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.i686 is a duplicate with glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3.i686 has missing requires of glibc-common = ('0', '2.12', '1.7.el6_0.3') tzdata-2010o-1.el6.noarch is a duplicate with tzdata-2010l-1.el6.noarch Bestu kveðjur/Best regards, Sigurður Jónsson

Everything worked :). Unfortunately, that act rendered my existing system unbootable. When I booted from the live CD it found and started my md RAID1 partitions, including my system root partition. Nice, I had all my data there to play with. I noticed that where I had previously used /dev/md0, /dev/md1, etc..., the live CD system had created them as /dev/md122, /dev/md123, and so on, and not in the original order. I didn't think much of this, figuring my regular system would start them back in the original configuration, but apparently some metadata somewhere got changed by the live CD system and now the original system would not get past switching to the root file system with a 'no such device' error. I could see, just before going off the screen, where it had started my root partition as /dev/md125 rather than /dev/md0. I tried a couple of things to recover from this: I tried stopping and reassembling the RAID sets with the desired device names from the live CD system, and repackaging my initrd with device files for the /dev/md12* devices, but no luck. At that point I decided that, since I had already done my backups and was planning on eventually going to SL6, that I'd just push forward with a fresh install of SL6. It took a few hours that I hadn't planned on to get everything back up to speed, and I have one issue yet to work and a couple of minor things to configure. I have another retired box with the same RAID setup and it too, got hosed by the live CD. I'm going to play with this box to see if I can find a way to recover from this. Beware. Thanks for letting us know! I would be very interesting in a recovery procedure. I guess that it should be possible to re-assemble the raid device. So in case /dev/md0 was renamed to /dev/125 and was setup with /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1, you may get /dev/md0 back, if you do mdadm --stop /dev/125 mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 Are your raid partition of the type 0xfd (Linux RAID autodetect) or 0x83 (Linux)? If this is a general problem with the LiveCD and software raids, I would like to fix it on the LiveCD. Usually md devices are renamed/renumbered when /etc/mdadm.conf has HOMEHOSTsystem set and the metadata in the superblock has a different homehost value. The file /etc/mdadm.conf does not exist on the LiveCD. Therefore the md devices should not be renamed...? Bluejay, do you see /etc/mdadm.conf, if you boot your system with the LiveCD? I had a similar problem with disks when I lost a system disk and needed to rebuild the file system. Thank god I had a hard copy of print out of df before it crashed. This is crude but effective. I used the install disks - got to the area that allowed me to set up and format hard disks. I named them correctly, and organized the data as on hard copy. The data is still there but the install program plays dumb but will allow you to rename everything - set do not format. Continue and when it gets to asking for application - bail out. (reboot) and you are there. Now you have to work on /etc/fstab to make all drives physical mounts. (get rid of logical drive names). Once this is done you should be able to reboot and recover you old data. You will notice that you have a new fstab. After you have everyting saved to a back up. Then you can replace disks / rename them and use the same scheme to restore you system to use LVM. A hard way around the apple tree but sometimes it's desperate measures by desperate men. Its crude / rude but effective. A very usefull utility would be a partial install disk that allows you to do disk management and quit the install. Larry Linder

I don't know through what mechanism arrays are renamed when they are assembled on a foreign box and *stay*renamed* when are re-assembled on the home box.

Debuginfo repositories
Hello, I am wondering why Scientific Linux doesn't support debuginfo repositories in the same way as Red Hat does (disabled in *.repo files, distributed directly in the directory with binaries). I found some debug information 'hidden' in the directory /linux/scientific/6rolling/archive/debuginfo/, however I am not sure if it contains all debuginfo from all other binary directories and is already in sync. There are two reasons, why we shall care about debuginfo as a first class citizen: 1) ABRT (http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-abrt.html;) 2) SystemTap (http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/index.html;) Without debuginfo it is difficult to generate a sensible crash log (ABRT) and it helps [Red Hat] developers a lot. If one wants to analyse and tune the performance of the system, the SystemTap is absolutely essential and it needs debuginfo as well. Best Regards Vaclav M.
