If you "need" to upgrade gnome, then you don't really need CentOS.
Read more about the purpose of Enterprise linux distributions.

Re: [CentOS] libapr issue - CentOS 4.7

2008-11-13 Thread Tom Brown



I've had a similar problem, and it was a software that had a custom
version of gdbm library and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in profile to make
sure that version would be used.

Do you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set? What does this command say:

# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If you do, try unsetting it before starting httpd:

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH= service httpd start
  


thanks for the thought but LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not set - just for kicks 
i unset it anyhow and tried again - no dice


# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdbm_errno

  [FAILED]

i am stumped! i wish i could rebuild the box but i cant

[CentOS] Virtual NICs (aliases like eth0:1) won't come up after reboot

2008-11-13 Thread Berend Dekens
With one problem down I still have another remaining. Since the 
installation of our primairy webserver we have had a problem with the 
network aliasses.


Our server has 8 IP adresses so we used the tool provided in the GUI to 
specify (and name - for our own convinience) eth0 aliasses with the 
other 7 adresses. After setting them up, applying them, activating them 
and restarting 'networking' (I dare say this is a lot of button pushing 
just to enable one NIC) all is well and every program can use its 
preferred IP.


However, after a reboot, all aliasses are disabled: they are present in 
the configuration but they are not activated. I feared I did something 
wrong so I removed all addresses, tried to find more clues in the docs 
and now I'm back where I started.


How can I figure out what is wrong? I might add that I am not afraid of 
using a console (actually prefer it on linux servers) but I am new to 
CentOS so I tried to do everything by using the GUI - which in this case 
keeps failing...

Go into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and edit the corresponding files
in there.

If they have "ONBOOT=YES" change that to "ONPARENT=YES". If they have
neither, add ONPARENT=YES.

Re: [CentOS] SVN missing libexpat.so.0 while it is present *SOLVED*

It seems that SVN invokes a remote copy of the binary for reading the repo

libexpat was not found, the error originated from the other server...


That is both funny and concerning. I think you should bring this up on the 
subversion mailinglist (or open a bug for it on the subversion bug 
tracking system). More people may fall in this trap.

Short answer: There is no supported way for doing this.

Longer Answer: The unsupported methods require a great deal of
gnome/RHEL/CentOS understanding in how things link together. Another
thing to keep in mind is that with a new version of gnome, several of
the underlying utilities for the gui tools are built against a
specific version. You'll either have to have 2 sets installed (which
can cause issues) or you'll have to rebuild most of the gui tools to
link to the new gnome libs., at which point you're basically not on
CentOS anymore.

FYI: I've been creating NIC aliases with ONBOOT=yes for quite some time 
without a problem as I wasn't aware of the ONPARENT directive. I usually 
just copy the file and change it accordingly. The trap I usually run into 
is that I forget to change DEVICE.

You should have moved the 0.9.6 file before
running ldconfig, as I wrote.

If something else depends upon the 0.9.6 file, this
could be started after having set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to the directory where you've moved the 0.9.6 file.

No, I cannot explain how that would help in this case - it was your
idea. And no, there cannot be conflicts between "yum and rpm", as one is
the frontend for the other and there is only *one* package database in
the system.

BTW: It would be great if you could fix your mail client so one can see
which parts of a mail were written by you and which were written by
others.  - it is
written for usenet, but most of it also applies to mailing lists, if not

 hi all, running centos 4.7 i686.

 How do I close it?

 I have the STRAIGHT centos install sendmail.mc file.
 Only thing I changed was:
 dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

 so as to allow incoming email and not just localhost. however
 this seems to relay everyone.

 I looked at http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying but it just
 talks about (AFIKT)
 enabling specific relays to occur - not how to CLOSE the
 relaying.

 How do I close the relay?

The bottom of the file /etc/sendmail.mc should look like the following 
(change my domain, davenjudy.org, to whatever is appropriate for your 
domain).  This won't get rid of any open relay problems but will at 
least fix the "example.com" issue:


...
dnl #
dnl # The following example makes mail from this host and any additional
dnl # specified domains appear to be sent from mydomain.com
dnl #
MASQUERADE_AS(`davenjudy.org')dnl
dnl #
dnl # masquerade not just the headers, but the envelope as well
dnl #
dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
dnl #

dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(local.davenjudy.org)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(davenjudy.org)dnl

As for possibly having an open relay, you also want to make sure that 
the following line is commented out (has dnl at the beginning):


dnl #
dnl FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX')dnl
dnl #

Finally, you'll need a line like:

FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')dnl

DO NOT uncomment any of the other lines in sendmail.mc regarding relay 
settings unless you know what you're doing.  If you aren't sure what was 
changed from the default, remove the sendmail-cf rpm and reinstall it to 
get back to a clean, default sendmail.mc file.  It's a good idea to 
explicitly run make in /etc/mail and then bounce sendmail rather than 
let the sendmail startup script decide something has changed since it's 
easier to catch syntax errors that way.  Finally, get a free mail 
account at your provider of choice (Google, Hotmail, whoever) and use it 
for testing both sending and receiving mail.

Hmmm, in a previous post you said you had multiple aliases and three errors.
But above, you have only posted one main device and one alias. Are they ones
that succeed of fail?

The reason I said to use "head -20" and "ifcfg-eth0*" was that if you used
that command literally, it would (a) output ALL eth0 aliases, and (b) prepend
each one automatically with a filename header, assuming there is more than
one file.

It's difficult to suggest what the problem might be unless you list EVERY
interface and alias, showing at least the IP and netmask information for
each one. Otherwise we are just guessing.

When you get a moment, please read right through the following page:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Possibly, from their wording, I thought it might take the message,
without me joining the list. I don't think it said one must be a
member of the list to send a message, so I gave it a shot. Turns out,
one must be a member of the list.  Will try later.

In this month's IEEE Spectrum magazine there is an interesting study on 
multi core CPUs and 'intensive computing' done at Sandia labs Seems like 
with the current data bus architecture, 8 core is the max for data 
access intensive applications like data mining. So I am thinking that if 
you need to move lots of data for your applications, the CPU is not the 
limiter, it is how the system moves data into and out of the CPU(s) that 
needs to be considered.

[CentOS] Video Card

2008-11-13 Thread Tom Browder
I want to be able to use a late-model video card with either Nvidia or
ATI (AMD) chips that have the capability to use the GPU for numeric
processing through the CUDA or AMD Stream SDKs.

I can't find any good source for hardware that really works under
Linux, not to speak of Centos.  I need a specific model and brand that
a user has successfully been able to use the proprietary driver for
under Linux.

I have tried EVGA Nvidia 9500 GT with no luck.  I have also tried XFX
6300 XT (not CUDA-capable) and cannot make it work under Centos,
either

I am using Centos 5.2, x86_64 on a Gigabyte mobo with Intel Core 2 Duo.

I appreciate any help,

or, at the same time while you are waiting for more replies, you could try 
starting up with only the first alias and if that succeeds try the next 
one and so on ...
If you get less errors than you have aliases it's likely that some of the 
files have simply wrong values.

Will give you the complete supported nvidia cards under linux and the 9500GT
is not Supported. Also the 6300 is not listed either.

AFAIK all cards listed on that page using the nvidia drivers will work. Now

but Compiz can be easily switched off when you are on battery and the GMA950
have enough power to handle it on 1024*600 resolution. This is no problem. I
like CentOS because of its stability (and I am using it on servers), but I
don´t know how it will appear on desktop. Yes, CentOS is enterprise
operating system and Fedora is multimedia minded, but I think that CentOS is
better OS with much better HW support (isn´t it?) and this multimedia
features can be easily added.

I don´t know which one choose :(

Re: [CentOS] Is there in CentOS 5 Compiz?

2008-11-13 Thread Michael Schenck
CentOS is a "more secure" RHEL, I'm not at all sure where you got "better HW
support"...

By the way, you can always add a repository that has Compiz and still use
CentOS.

What kind of Netbook are you running?

That being said, I am curious to hear how compiz goes.

CentOS is identical to RHEL, except for the copyrights, licensing and
logos. The keyword is identical.

Why is it more secure? Why would CentOS have better HW support?

I am going to buy Eee PC S101 (1,6 GHz Atom, 1 GB RAM, ...), but these specs
are same on most of netbooks. You can find some videos of Compiz on Eee PC
701 at youtube.com which works flawlessly, so I am convinced, that on next
generation Eee PCs (901, S101) there will be no problems even if S101 have
bigger resolution (800*480 vs. 1024*600).

I thought the were default configuration differences between RHEL and CentOS
such that in theory it was "more secure" out of the box.

Make your decision between Fedora and CentOS not on the basis
of Compiz which is described by its developers as "Alpha Software".

I have got both Fedora and CentOS and they can be described as
"different animals". CentOS is a stable server while Fedora is
a fancy smancy desktop. Some of these people asking to upgrade
should really be on the Fedora bandwagon and others complaining
about Fedora being bleeding edge should have a CentOS server.

Best of both?

And after 3 hours I remember why I hate automated GUI's: its working...

I removed, renamed, manually modified and did all kinds of things to the

recreating (for the millionth time) the configuration for each

fixed it (usually I run into problems more than once so stuff like this

On a side note, the network configuration tool keeps forgetting the

to set the alias number again as its back on 0.


Well at least I've got everything up and running again - thanks everyone

[CentOS] kmod-xfs and weak-updates

2008-11-13 Thread Tony Schreiner
I installed kmod-xfs-0.4-2 back with kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13. I have  
updated kernels but there have been no new kmod-xfs. It still works  
because of weak-updates (I guess). Currently:


# find /lib/modules -name xfs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/extra/xfs/xfs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.18.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko


My question is: kernel 2.6.18-92.1.13 is now the oldest one present  
on my system and will be removed next update. Do I need to worry  
about that? Will it take the remaining kmod-xfs with it?

John, thanks.  I wasn't aware of that page.

Nvidia confuses the issue when it lists support with the latest
package run installation.  It states that it supports the 9500 GT.
What gives?

Yes, that is fairly clear on the CUDA site.  And AMD has been pretty

No, you don't need to worry. Anything installed in

that kernel is uninstalled so the links in weak-updates will still be

Suggest that you download the CentOS Live CD and see if CentOS will
run on your notebook and support all of the hardware. If not, try a
Fedora Live CD. Fedora will probably support more hardware than
CentOS. Make your decision between the 2 distros, if they both work on
your notebook. If not, use the distro that works.

rpm -Uvh

will install the EPEL repo file.   (replace /i386/ with your architecture).


WARNING, if you have other repos like rpmforge etc etc, EPEL does NOT 
play well with others as they refuse to tag the RPM names and

`enabled=0`, then manually enable it when I want to fetch something from it.


you also probably want to play with yum-priorities.  I'm a little fuzzy

Re: [CentOS] CPU benchmarking tools

2008-11-13 Thread Tom Brown




In this month's IEEE Spectrum magazine there is an interesting study 
on multi core CPUs and 'intensive computing' done at Sandia labs Seems 
like with the current data bus architecture, 8 core is the max for 
data access intensive applications like data mining. So I am thinking 
that if you need to move lots of data for your applications, the CPU 
is not the limiter, it is how the system moves data into and out of 
the CPU(s) that needs to be considered.

Only files directly owned by the kernel will get removed when the kernel 
rpm is removed from your machine; which, as a policy holds true for any 
rpm. This is one of the many reasons why packagers are encouraged to 
list-and-own specific components and not complete directory tree's when

CentOS-5 ships with Compiz included in the distro, so if you have

I have built CompizFusion on CentOS-5 but its never really been stable

Published Spec benchmarks are valuable in this fuzzy context.

Once you have your application benchmarked, tools like "lmbench"
may help you understand what the win/loss keys are.

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmbench

More important than hardware can be your choice of compiler and IO
(disk)...  When looking at 'spec' benchmark results pay attention to
the choice of compiler AND the hardware bits surrounding the CPU.

encouraged to list-and-own specific components and not complete 
directory tree's when they setup the spec files.


My concern came from the fact that xfs.ko belongs to the kmod-xfs 
package and older versions kmod-xfs had a dependency on a kernel version 
and would be removed by yum when that kernel was removed. I guess that 
the latest kmod-xfs-0.4-2 does not; which I suppose I could have checked 
for myself in the first place.

Re: [CentOS] Setting up eth0 with address 0.0.0.0

Hi Filipe,

It worked on the test server but on other servers were we tried it, it
turned out that they require IPADDR=0.0.0.0 to make it work.

I'm not sure what causes the difference yet (they are all up to date
CentOS 5.2) but just wanted to thank you for the tip, it allowed us to
close this issue for now.

Cheers,

2008-11-13 Thread junior.listas

Sorry, may i be wrong,  but

I was compiled this module for other distro, with kernel 2.6.18, from 
http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/, the the version is 2.0.5, Wy we 
use 1.0 version?? There is some note for why the module ( 2.0 ) does not 
compile under centos??
