I suggest you take a look at the Wiki article:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

It has been updated recently (Alan did most of the work) to
accommodate recent changes in the spec file.  You will find many lines
that were changed or added newly.  Among other things, it now suggests
that you copy the .config file from the config/ directory (or from
your /boot) instead of the SOURCES directory.  Because your build is
failing at the step of:

  make ARCH=$Arch nonint_oldconfig > /dev/null

I suspect using the config file from configs/ might fix the error you got.

[CentOS] Firewire/IEEE1394 support on centos.plus repro and yum update

2008-08-07 Thread Emmanuel Borlet

Helo,

I'm trying to update a centos server with a kernel form the centos.plus
repro because it contain Firewire/IEEE1394 support.
But when y do a :
# yum update 
The kernel from the base is more recent thant the centos plus repro
I have tried with the
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities plug-in and it
didn't take the right kernel :

ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.2/centosplus/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6
.18-92.1.6.el5.centos.plus.i686.rpm
But the 
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18
-92.1.10.el5.i686.rpm

How i can force kernel choice form centos plus ?

Thank's for your help

Emmanuel Borlet

Please check out:

Make sure you set the priority correctly for all repositories AND
exclude kernel etc from the base and updates as seen in Example 2 in
the wiki article.

[CentOS] Mount a Xen disk image file

2008-08-07 Thread Dirk H. Schulz


Hi Folks,

I search for a way to mount the .img files virt-install creates for Xen 
VMs. Using fdisk -lu I found it contains to 2 partitions:



# fdisk -lu /var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img
last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 81ed
Sie müssen angeben Zylinder.
Sie können dies im Zusatzfunktionsmenü tun.

Platte /var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img: 0 MByte, 0 Byte
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, zusammen 0 Sektoren
Einheiten = Sektoren von 1 × 512 = 512 Bytes

  Gerät  boot. AnfangEnde Blöcke   Id  System
/var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img1   *  63  208844 

104391   83  Linux
/var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img2  208845 8177084 

3984120   8e  Linux LVM


And I can mount the first partition with no problem using the offset 
(start) from the partition table:

mount -o loop,offset=$((63*512) /PATH/TO/IMAGE.img /MOUNTPOINT

But I cannot mount the second partition using the offset of it:

mount -o loop,offset=$((208845*512)) /PATH/TO/IMAGE.img /MOUNTPOINT
mount: you have to specify the file system type
Even using ext3, ext2 does not work. I do not think the offset is incorrect 
- I venture it is because the second partition is LVM (8e).


Did anybody out there succeed in mounting an LVM partition out of an image 
file?


Any hint or help is appreciated.

Dirk

I suspect using the config file from configs/ might fix the error you got.


Also,

Do 'make oldconfig' first, before adding the x86_64 back in and coping 
back to the SOURCES dir.


ALSO ... there are some "generic" parts that need stripped out of the 
spec or it will override CONFIG settings.  I think they do this so they 
don't have to change the fedora configs and still get the RHEL settings.


If you don't remove the "generic" compares in the spec, it will turn of 
NTFS regardless of your settings in the config file.

You can see if it is installed with the command:

If installed, the output is similar to this:

NetworkManager-0.6.4-8.el5
NetworkManager-glib-0.6.4-8.el5

If not, install with thsi command:

yum install NetworkManger\* wpa_supplicant

The run NetworkManager from the command line.

You will see a NetworkManager applet beside the clock and you should be able
to click it and pick a network.

Here are more details for how to setup NetworkManager:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager



The OP was wondering if this was possible from the live CD - I'm
wondering if installing a (missing?) package is the right solution in
/that/ case.

For (normal) CentOS, I have used a USB plugin wireless adapter on my
laptop with excellent success, although it is not as easy as (okay, I
won't name that other excuse for an OS) 1-2-3 - it takes some looking
to find the whole enchilada, but it /is/ find-able.



you can install packages on the live CD for centos-5

Sounds like you need to talk to the support staff where you bought the
VPServer - after all, they're the ones responsible for creating your
problem.

Alternatively, you could try 'rpm --upgrade
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1.noarch.rpm";
- add dependencies ad nauseam.

Hosts normally advertise a VPS as being almost like a Dedicated
Server. Lots of resources and lots of options. In this case,
without being able to use yum, it starts as a Security problem,
because he cannot update the packages that are
installed. His second problem is that he cannot install new software
with yum, which eliminates a lot of options. Unlike Shared Hosting,
which is Managed, someone with a VPS must Manage their VPS, as if it
was a Dedicated Server, or, pay someone to do that. But, how
would they manage it, without yum? It's much more difficult, without
yum. IMHO, he should look for a VPS with another provider, that allows
him to use yum, etc.

Well .. the problem is that yum breaks their VPS

Those VPS providers should have provided another way to get updates and
install packages.

If you install yum with the normal defaults it will allow you to install
packages that will break your VPS.

You should ONLY do what the VPS providers says to do and you should ONLY
contact them for support. To do anything else will break your system

I had hoped for some other way because there is an open bug in kpartx on

failed to stat() /var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img

Seems to work only with rather small img files.

Do you have any other idea?

[CentOS] CentOS5 running very slowly on a core 2 duo with 4 GB RAM

2008-08-07 Thread israel.garcia

Hi, I've installed CentOS5.2 on an INTEL Core 2 Duo (Intel(R) Core(TM)2
Duo CPU E6550  @ 2.33GHz), 4 GB RAM (MemTotal:  4072176 kB) and
my system gets sevarel minutes to startup, specially on udev daemon.
Once the system is UP, every command I run gets 100% CPU and every is
very slowly at the point yum -y update never ends. The system installed
by default this kernel 2.6.18-53.el5PAE. I would like to know what's
wrong with my server. Do I have to install another kernel? Can you help
me?

One other note about the updated wiki article.  This line:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config

is especially important at this moment even if you are building just
the standard kernel.  This is because there is a bug in the current
kernel:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445095

which causes custom kernel build to fail (details are in that
bugzilla).  This has to do with the fact we need to remove the
template section which would otherwise disable the buslogic driver.
By running the above cp command, you will be using the config files
that have buslogic disabled.

insert an automatic reset of the firewall after 5 minutes

Hi,

My US$0.02 on this.I'm a fan of apf as a front-end to iptables...but 
it takes some reading to understand the switches and the entire RAB 
(reactive address blocking) configuration options.  Sadly, RAB is poorly 
documented, but with a bit of tinkering, I've enjoyed this feature 
tremendously as it cuts down on the hammering I used to get to port 22 
by the bots and script kiddies.


If you've a static IP at your workstation, add your IP address to the 
apf nicely formed 'allow_hosts.rules' file, usually located in 
/etc/apf.  This is a simple IP address or IP block list (using slash 
notation, i.e. 192.168.1.0/24) to allow access to an IP or range of 
IPs.  Further, the deny_hosts.rules list is the same format for hosts to 
always deny.


/usr/local/sbin/apf -a 
will add to the allow list *and* flush and reload the iptables back-end 
so you don't have to restart apf


likewise
/usr/local/sbin/apf -d 
will add to the deny list *and* flush and reload the iptables back-end 
so you don't have to restart apf


Once the firewall is configured properly, set DEVEL to 0 in the conf.apf 
file, then restart apf.  The authors rightly include DEVEL mode which 
crons a shutdown every 5 mins so you're not locked out for long.  Trust 
me, I've been bitten by this (more than I care to admit)


There are other CLI switches, all well documented on the apf site 
(http://rfxnetworks.com/apf.php)

1) Please don't top post.

2) I would recommend strongly AGAINST removing the priorities.  First,
there is no connection between priorities and include/exclude
commands, and second, you open yourself up to other weaknesses if you
use any repos other than those at CentOS.  Looks like you just need to
set them correctly, and get the excludes right, and the two should
work together nicely.

[CentOS] CentOS as a desktop was Re: Slightly OT

I have found just that.

I was introduced to linux a couple of years ago by way of FC5 (known about
it for years, always wanted to migrate, dabbled in RH6 about 8 years ago
and dropped it).  I was supposed to get CentOS 4.4 but got FC5, allegedly
-devel.  Big mistake, I had it removed and CentOS 4.4 installed after a
couple of months.  The stability, the lower number of updates, reduced to
effective nil dependency hell (provided that I stuck with the repo stuff,
and even then many outside stuff) and long-term support was what attracted
me.  The 6 month treadmill was one of several issues I had; why spend 6
months installing and fighting with a system, only to have to go through
the trouble of reinstalling after 6 months and starting again?

However getting my "new" printer (about one year on the market and had it
since December 2007) to work on my desktop under 5.2 as well as getting,
then keeping keeping wireless on my laptop using a 4 year old PCMCIA card
were deal breakers.

I currently run 3 computers at home, one on the same box that got the 4.4
a couple of years ago and now upgraded to 4.6.  The other two ... I had
4.4 on one and the other is a new acquisition, and installed 5.2 on both,
and within a month I had to move to Ubuntu (gg-lee.  I will be
moving to F9 soon if things work out, Ubuntu is a strange breed that
works, with a consumer experience virtually identical to what I had under
CentOS with the exception of stuff that works with no trouble and a few
nuances, but ... something rubs me the wrong way.  Things like the Ubuntu
customizations to the Gnome menus and the fact that the default user is
defacto root while root is relegated to uselessness (including not being
able to log into its own desktop to take advantage of the gui admin
tools!)

Long and the short of it, I would rather keep up with CentOS, made a rash
decision to use Ubuntu 8.06 since it works and has the saving grace of
being LTS, and will look into Fedora 9 since I'd rather be running a(n
albeit small) Red Hat farm instead of a mostly Ubuntu/Debian farm.

I still agree that CentOS is a robust and highly appropriate desktop. 
Just getting it to do basic things like wireless and printing (forget
easily, just at all) need MAJOR work from upstream.  Oh well, I don't pay
site licences and CentOS strives for 100% binary compatibility

hi,
first of all this bug is already fixed by rhel (after i reported it). 
second i've a few comment about this wiki page (since we don't do this 
way and imho it's much easier and cleaner).


- i don't do the step 3, except:
 - %define buildid .your_identifier
 - #   %_sourcedir/kabitool -b . -d ...
 - touch symsets-$KernelVer.tar.gz
 - and of course the patches:-)

- at the and of the config merge (currently at line 4768) we add our 
extra setting merge eg: like this (and of course we've got our 
config-xxx files):

# --- Start Custom ---
# XFS hardcoded
for i in %{all_arch_configs}
do
  mv $i $i.tmp
  $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/merge.pl $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/config-xfs $i.tmp > $i
  rm $i.tmp
done
# move to the new libata driver (only sdX)
for i in %{all_arch_configs}
do
  sed -i "s/CONFIG_IDE=y/# CONFIG_IDE is not set/g" $i
done
#  End Custom ---

in this way out diff from the centos spec file has about a dozen of 
different lines which much easier the read. and after that we build with:
rpmbuild -ba --target "noarch,i386,i686" --without pae --without debug 
--without debuginfo --without kabichk ~/rpm/SPECS/kernel-2.6-custom.spec

Well, it is not considered "fixed" until the patch gets actually
incorporated into the kernel upstream.  We have to apply the patch
manually at this moment to compile the buslogic module.

Do you want to regularly access it that way or do you just need to access

I do not like this xvda stuff at all. So I created a basic setup with 
virt-install and copied all content off (I don't know what I used, I 
assume cp or rsync or so). I used these files for a new VM based on ext3 
formatted disks (you can either use files or LV). Can be done within 15 
minutes or so. I tweaked that a bit to my liking and now use it as a 
template for new VMs. As the disks are ext3 I can now easily access the 
drives by mounting that LV.

Hello All.
How do I find out what flags were used to compile
the Centos openldap-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 rpm package?
I'm specifically wondering if it was compiled with
--enable-lmpasswd

Thanks!


If you download the SRPM and install it, then you can look at the spec file.

Server is built like this:

   --enable-plugins \
   --enable-slapd \
   --enable-slurpd \
   --enable-multimaster \
   --enable-bdb \
   --enable-hdb \
   --enable-ldap \
   --enable-ldbm \
   --with-ldbm-api=%{ldbm_backend} \
   --enable-meta \
   --enable-monitor \
   --enable-null \
   --enable-shell \
   --enable-sql=mod \
   --disable-perl \
   --disable-shared \
   --disable-dynamic \
   --enable-static \
   --with-kerberos=k5only

Client like this:

  --disable-slapd \
   --disable-slurpd \
   --enable-shared \
   --enable-dynamic \
   --enable-static \
   --without-kerberos \
   --with-pic



Slightly OT, but related to this question and answer,
 I'd like to know what options are used to
 build the openssh-4.3p2-26.el5 package.

Fetching the SRPM and exploring in there
I can see the %configure section in the openssh.spec:

%configure \
--sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}/ssh \
--libexecdir=%{_libexecdir}/openssh \
--datadir=%{_datadir}/openssh \

Not by looking at the RPM .. but you can look in the build log (if you 
have one).  Here is the line for i386 for openssh-4.3p2-26.el5:


./configure --build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu 
--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr

ok, very nice!

And could I get such build log by rebuilding the rpm from the SRPM?

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 -- how do I choose a wireless network?

2008-08-07 Thread Aleksey Tsalolikhin

Hi.  Thanks again for all your replies.

The CentOS 5.2 Live CD does include NetworkManager.

However the only choice in the Network Manager applet is "Wired Network".

I then tried Ubuntu Live CD.   Using it's network manager, I was able
to browse the several local wireless networks, and to successfully
connect.

This is on an IBM T42 laptop.

Best,
Aleksey

Any suggestions on how to make this work under CentOS?   I'd prefer to
have CentOS on my laptop, to keep it the same OS as our servers.I
don't want to learn two flavors of Linux...

Thanks,

Yes, you will have to redirect standard out, like this:

rpmbuild --rebuild  > build.log 2>&1

[CentOS] CentOS 5.2 - Nautilus - file types are not associated with an action and icons are not displayed

2008-08-07 Thread Vaclav Mocek


Hi all,

I use CentOS 5.2 as a desktop and the Gnome Nautilus doesn't display 
icons related to the file types and all associated actions ("open with") 
are lost. It is so bad, that the desktop shortcuts are displayed as 
ordinary files "Filesystem.desktop" or 
"openoffice.org-1.9-calc.desktop", and when I click on them, the 
Nautilus wants to know what it should do with these files.


The problem emerged after I installed the  new kernel 
(2.6.18-92.1.10.el5) and  uninstalled packages "joystick", "slrn" and 
"planner".  All user accounts have the same problem, when I run the 
Nautilus as root (sudo nautilus), it works fine => probably some access 
restrictions.


I run the Nautilus with strace, but the output is too messy to provide 
some sensible information. Any hint what to do is welcomed.


Best  Regards

Vaclav
