And Postfix.

And Sendmail.

And Exim.

And Qmail.

And look,  it's available only as an installer which reaches out and
downloads things from your website without actually mentioning what
they are in advance. Wow, I could go on with the obvious issues from
the website, but given that there's not even a GPG signature for the
installation widget, this is actively unsafe.

Hi,
I was just checking their timeline which shows CentOS6 scheduled to be 
pushed to the external servers on July 4.


http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/calendar/upcoming.

Also looking at the date the package in question was built (16-Jan-2011 
08:11), perhaps it was built on RHEL6 beta, so buyer beware for sure. 
The repo looks like a genuine Russian repo for CentOS alternative

No, I doubt that you are reading it wrong. It has just been written
wrong. There is no "CentOS6".

I guess asking at source what that page actually means would be the way forward.

At TRIUMF we have the need to cross-compile 32-bit executables on 64-bit 
machines.

This is for two reasons: we have some dedicated hardware that only
runs 32-bit executables (VME processors, etc) but is too slow and
does not have enough memory to support a self-hosting build
environement (so we have to cross-compile); and we have some software
that uses 32-bit-only 3rd party proprietary libraries.

So I am very familiar with the questions you asked, but only for SL5. We are
just starting to use SL6, but so far everything seems to be the same.

1) "out of the box", "yum list" shows both 32-bit and 64-bit packages. (From SL5
to SL6, 32-bit packages changed from .i386 to .i686 and tripped up some
sysinstall scripts).

Not all existing 32-bit packages are included into the 64-bit distribution. To 
install
them, you can add the 32-bit repo to your system (but be ready to handle 
conflicts!)

Some 32-bit packages will conflict with same-named 64-bit packages, if really
required, one can force their installation by using "rpm -vh --install 
--no-deps" (but
if you break your system, you get to keep both pieces).

Some 32-bit packages are throughfully supplied through the "compat" packages.

If not, move to question 2:

2) yes, very often building of external packages from source becomes
confused by /usr/lib & /usr/lib64 & etc. This is where autotools becomes
a bother instead of helper. Things like "pkg-config", "foo-config" also
work against us as they are broken by design for the case when 32-bit
or 64-bit libraries need to be selected as needed.

The general trend seems to be towards "things only work on
the developer's laptop" and if stuff does not work for you it is because
"your machine is different from my laptop" and tough luck with it.

SL 6 IA-32 and X86-64 polymorphism

[Yasha Karant]

I found on the web:

Unlike Debian based distributions, Red Hat and distributions based on it 
organize lib directories in a way that lets you install a 32 bit package 
of .so files on an x86_64 system without any conflict with the 64 bit 
build of the same package, which may also be installed.


AND:

The Debian system dynamic library linker has been modified so that when 
a 32-bit application requests access to a library, Debian provides the 
32-bit version of the library if it is available instead of the normal 
64-bit version that the native applications require. This works if the 
ia32 packages which provide a sub-set of standard Debian libraries 
compiled in 32-bit mode have been installed.  (NB:  I am not using a 
Debian distro, but the SL 6 RHEL 6 distro.  The quote is for clarity.)


End quote.

Unfortunately, this does not always seem to be the case in direct 
practical experience.


Two questions:

1.  How to install the SL6 release so that the System -> Administration 
-> Add/Remove Software will list both the 64 bit and 32 bit libraries? 
I have tried sl-release-6.0-6.0.1.i686.rpm and this does not cause these 
library choices to be displayed.
I suspect this is because from the sl.repo file, the stanza 
name=Scientific Linux $releasever - $basearch always puts the actual 
base kernel ISA into the $basearch, so only X86_64 appears.  I tried to 
make a separate repo file that would force the IA-32 libraries to be 
listed, and although I enabled the new repo using System -> Software 
Sources in the Add/Remove Software application, no such library RPMs 
appeared.


2.  Many packages that must be built from source rely upon configure and 
for various reasons, paths such as /usr/lib , not /usr/lib64 that is the 
X86-64 path, appear.   This is an issue with appropriate scope specific 
polymorphism.  Will the following idea address this issue?  Two unique 
paths for libraries and include files:  foo32 and foo64 with foo being 
the appropriate path identifier.  At the actual time when a decision as 
to which foo to use, set foo to either foo32 or foo64 but let the 
application (e.g., configure and the files needed for configure to 
"configure") only find foo .  Thus /lib could be either /lib32 or /lib64 
depending upon whether a 32 or 64 bit application was needed, etc.  This 
is still much simpler than a chroot mechanism of keeping two identical 
operating systems and application environments on the same machine, one 
IA-32 and the other X86-64.  Obviously, utilities such as ld (mentioned 
in a Debian context above) must be aware of the differences, as must 
compilers when creating appropriate object or executable file internal 
headers.

Re: Bug in Anaconda - SL 6.0 - Raid metadata detected - DVD 03-03-2011 [SOLUTION FOUND]

[Felip Moll]

Hello,

Finally I managed to install SL 6.0 on my Dell M600 Server.

The problem was that I was using two SAS hard drives that in the past were
used in a  hardware Raid, and the metadata of the Raid was still in those
disks. The fact is that when the kernel loads and
detects these metadata, avoids you to write the disk. A solution is to run
the kernel without dmraid support, editing the option at the boot menu,
pressing TAB and then adding "nodmraid" at the end of the
kernel boot line.

Doing these solves the problem.

These is a known bug on RedHat 6.0. I found some interesting links:

On the off-topic I want to say that I was trying to disable Virtual Disk
from the BIOS, but the option isn't there. I opened my iDrac web interface
and accessed to where Natxo pointed, and
I managed to disable the option setting to "Deattach".

My problem is solved, but the bug is still there!.

fastest boot time laptop sl 6.0

[Natxo Asenjo]

hi,

This had been bugging me since I installed sl6, so a few weeks I sat
down and tested a few things. Hopefully it will help someone.

The problem: my corporate laptop (dell latitude e6500, which by the
way, works great with sl 6.0), took a while to cold boot. Pressing
escape to see the console messages showed that the cups daemon was
started, and after about 15 seconds, acpid would start and then the
rest of the daemons and I would be greeted by the logon screen.

This would not happen in case of a reboot, by the way. Hibernating,
although functional, takes longer than boot, so why bother :(

I modified /etc/init.d/cups, changing the chkconfig 2345 25 10 line
to chkconfig 2345 95 10. Then chkconfig cups off and chkconfig cups
on to recreate the symlinks, shutdown and start. So now cups starts
quite late in the boot sequence, but that does not matter at all as
long as it starts after syslog and local_fs. Printing works as usual
after this change.

I am very happy to say my laptop has been very fast to boot since
this little change. These are the little things that matter.

we have poweredge r710 and 410. In both we can disable those virtual
devices, I find it hard to believe you cannot.

As this is quite off-topic, I will just add that in a 410 you go to the
tab 'console media', then configuration and there you will be able to
change the status of the virtual media (we leave it 'auto attach', but
you can attach or dettach it).

Get the drac admin guide for your server and start reading :-) or call

I have discovered that /dev/sda is a Virtual Disk that iDrac from DELL uses
to boot the server from a remote .iso file. It can not be disabled, so
/dev/sda will be always there.

Changing the kind of the Virtual Disk from Hard Disk to Floppy doesn't solve

Re: lm_sensors

[Timmy Siu]

Dear ALL SL 5.6 Users:
Search Dag repo for gnome sensors.  You will find a GUI program which 
works with lm_sensors.  Install it.


Add this applet to Gnome top menu bar.  You can see many many devices' 
physical parameters with icons on gnome desktop!!!  Yesterday, it showed 
that the harddisk's temperature dropped to 0 degree C.  It is physically 
impossible in summer.  This implied that the HD was dying.  Today, my SL 
5.6 is running on a fresh new HD.   SL 6.0 can't enjoy it though! :-D


I have collected many "secret weapons" for SL 5.6!  Add me to your 
friend's list then if you want to have them for $0! :-D


lm_sensors applet -- best of the best!


Faithfully,
Timmy Siu



Hi All,

   How do you use lm_sensors?

Hi Todd, in addition to the instructions below, you can also then use 
conky or gkrellm, to have monitoring provided by lm_sensors on your 
desktop without having a terminal open all the time. Gkrellm is the 
easier to setup, but uses more cpu, conky is harder to config but in my 
IMHO worth the time and effort. Conky does come with a basic script to 
start and there are many on the internet if you google conky scripts. 
The scripts are read from /etc/conky/conky.conf

Have fun
Alex

Hi,

First install it by
#*yum install lm_sensors*
I think you already done it,

run *sensors-detect *as root, it will ask you some yes/no questions, 
you can easily say *yes* for all.


then run *sensors* command as a user.

cheers
