[CentOS] scim-panel-gtk segfault

2007-07-13 Thread Shawn
Hello,

Running kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.centos.plus on centos5, on shutdown
sometimes I get:

Starting killall:
Sending all processes the TERM signal...scim-panel-gtk
...scim-panel-gtk[4065]- segfault at... error 4.
(sometimes there is one segfault error and sometimes 7+]

Also, [and this may be unrelated] I occasionally can't boot into X and
need to: 
#rm /tmp/.X0-lock   
Then I can startx.

I have noticed sometimes that I get the segfault, but the next time I
boot, I can boot into X.  I really don't know enough to guess whether
sometimes it is finishing X and removing the lock before the segfault
and sometimes it is not.

I am not so unhappy with the situation but being unknowledable of course
worry about what effects a segfault during shutdown may have.  I do
notice that after the segfaults, it goes on to unmount the filesystems
and other things that it does normally (but I can't say everything
normally as I don't really understand the normal steps of it shutting
down).

I'd like to:

1) figure out how to stop the segfault especially since sometimes the
scim panel won't appear after a reboot (and requires another reboot to
appear again).

2) see if the scim segfault is causing the trouble with X starting and
if not, figure out why the lock is not being removed.

If you have suggestions as to what to look into, I am happy to hear
them.

The only thing I have tried is googling scim-panel-gtk segfault and
found

scim-lib 0.99.6 is available (13 Aug 2004)
Fixed a bug which causes segfault on x86_64 platform.

But that must be a different bug as:
rpm -qa | grep scim-lib
scim-libs-1.4.4-39.el5.x86_64

I saw an RPM someplace for scim-debug but wouldn't really know how to go
about trying to debug it.

Shawn

P.S.  Note, I do not believe this is in anyway connected to being a
centos plus kernel as on a stock kernel had the trouble.

I did not see anyway to configure a  PPP dialup call.
Is there a way to run kppp or Gnome's equivalent? 



Since there has been no response to my question, I will

I was able to test my  Zonet Cardbus  56K modem and

[CentOS] Postfix Question

2007-07-13 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've googled around and although I get a lot of hits about postfix
smarthost authentication with ssl, I can not find out how to
actually accomplish the task.

I've read through smatterings of postings from Neophasis and the
like searching for just the syntax and what file (I assume it's
main.cf) I should be using; however, any smtpd_ lines I have tried
result in postfix hanging and refusing to deliver mail.

I could simply cease using smarthost, but my ip address is dynamic
(yes I know stop yelling at me I'm poor right now) so mail bounces
to some domains if I don't use smarthost.

The server I'm running postfix on is CentOS 4 (fully updated).
Postfix version is 2.2.10-1.1.el4 (from rpm -qa). I have not had
sufficient downtime to upgrade to CentOS 5. Should I do that?

Sincerely

[CentOS] PHP doesn't connect to PG with SELinux

I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my Nagios

Is this a good long term idea? Or is there a better way of doing things?


SELinux is a tool, part of a suite of defenses you deploy as part of 
"defense in depth" to protect your assets. Only you can decide how valuable 
your assets are and how much effort you should expend protecting them. (But 
an usurped box also hurts the rest of us, once it becomes a bot available 
to spam or otherwise attack other hosts.)


You should have other techniques in play to defend your system, such as 
iptables, tcp wrappers, LUA, SSL, and strong passwords. SELinux presents 
another hurdle that attackers must get past.


My policy is not to permanently disable it but to figure out how to use it. 
I'm currently reading the two premier books on it to understand it. So far 
I haven't had to disable it to get things working, but I've had to defer 
deployment of some services or figure out workarounds.

[CentOS] Wireless newtworking in CentOS 5

2007-07-13 Thread Andrew Allen
Installed CentOS 5 on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, hoping that it will
be easier to set up wireless networking than it was in CentOS 4.4. But
still so difficult to get it working, mainly because there doesn't
appear to be a driver pre-installed for this wireless card ((Dell
wireless 1390 Mini PCI network card 802.11b/g). Do I still have to use
ipw2200 and what is this anyway? - I really don't understand why it is
so difficult to get wireless networking in CentOS 5 when it works like a
dream in Windows XP (I have a dual boot system, but I'd much rather use
linux!).
I've tried modprobe ipw2200 and all the rest of it with no success -
what am I doing wrong please?

Thanks,
Andy

I agree that the move should be done toward 5.2, and also understand
the problem the hosting providers are having and will have when php6
is launched.

Dropping backward compatibility is always an issue ...

[CentOS] Migrating from ancient Fedora (was Fedora Core 5 EOL on 2007-06-29)

Ahem, I know this is a CentOS mailing list.  BUT, as more and more
people migrate from FC to CentOS, I thought placing this reminder here
was worthwhile.  [I am still running *cough* FC5 on my own desktop, so
I am also running out of time]


For those of us migrating from ancient versions of Fedora, what gotchas 
might one expect?


I'm working on migrating from a pre-SELinux Fedora, and SELinux has been 
the biggest headache so far. I'm also expecting to migrate Dovecot from 
0.99 to 1.0, and there's a page on the Dovecot wiki about that. I've seen 
the recent list traffic about BIND's lack of default config, so I'm 
expecting that, and it's not a problem.


My plan is to install CentOS to a new box, and migrate services one by one 
as needed.

[CentOS] Newbie ADSL configuration, ppp0 can't activate & config not found

2007-07-13 Thread mailing-lists
I am frustrated. This is a dual boot box, Win XP (Spanish) and CentOS 4.4.
The phone company man came today and installed ADSL to the WinXP side and
that works fine. I can't get the box online, while in CentOS 4.4. The ADSL
router has a fixed IP address (192.168.1.1) and he configured it to get
the IP from the ISP via DHCP and get the DNS servers automatically. When I
try that on CentOS (which is what I use 99% of the time), it doesn't
connect. In the Network Configuration for eth0, things seem OK, but the
configuration for xDSL, ppp0, probably needs something I do not have in it
and it won't activate. Questions: (a) should I have network configurations
for both eth0 and ppp0? I've tried it with both and only with ppp0. (b) is
there a possibility that the NIC, which is integrated onto the motherboard
and has always worked fine on our home LAN, as eth0, won't work properly
as ppp0? If so, should I disable it and install a NIC in the box? I've
looked in the RHEL Step by Step Guide for RHEL 4 and Systems
Administrators Guides, but they don't seem to cover this issue. Any links
to a step by step how to, to do something I believe is simple, but, where
I'm missing something, will be greatly appreciated! TIA, Lanny

Re: [CentOS] Postfix Question

I've googled around and although I get a lot of hits about postfix
smarthost authentication with ssl, I can not find out how to
actually accomplish the task.

I've read through smatterings of postings from Neophasis and the
like searching for just the syntax and what file (I assume it's
main.cf) I should be using; however, any smtpd_ lines I have tried
result in postfix hanging and refusing to deliver mail.

I could simply cease using smarthost, but my ip address is dynamic
(yes I know stop yelling at me I'm poor right now) so mail bounces
to some domains if I don't use smarthost.

The server I'm running postfix on is CentOS 4 (fully updated).
Postfix version is 2.2.10-1.1.el4 (from rpm -qa). I have not had
sufficient downtime to upgrade to CentOS 5. Should I do that.
  


Adam Shostack had a howto on how to accomplish this at one point.  I 
suspect it will turn up if you google around for it.

If you have a router, then the ADSL connection you have is handled by 
the router, and is invisible to you, on the LAN side of the router. The 
router could be connecting to the WAN via a piece of wet string, as far 
as you care. So you should just have eth0 do DHCP and leave it connected 
to the router. You'll get an address like 192.168.1.2 from the router. 
You don't need ppp0 at all; to Centos the router appears like a LAN that 
routes to the Internet.


In Windows, do "ipconfig" in a Command window, and you'll see what I 
mean. You should see something similar with ifconfig in Centos.

Via a USB module. And it only supports USB 1.1.

Nope. It's a BGA package so it's soldered directly to the PCB.
