[CentOS] OT: errors building packages from src.rpm (trying to rebuild RHELIPA)
Hi all,
I am trying to rebuild RHELIPA packages downloaded from ftp.redhat.com. All
goes ok except from python-psycopg2 package. When I try to rebuild, gives me
these errors:
+ exit 0
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
Requires: python-psycopg2 = 2.0.6-1
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files
/var/tmp/python-psycopg2-2.0.6-1-root-carlos
RPM build errors:
user brewbuilder does not exist - using root
group brewbuilder does not exist - using root

File not found by glob:
/var/tmp/python-psycopg2-2.0.6-1-root-carlos/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/psycopg2/*.pyo
If I go to
/var/tmp/python-psycopg2-2.0.6-1-root-carlos/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/psycopg2/
directory, it is right: there isn't exists any *.pyc or .pyo file ... Maybe
be the problem is in .spec file?? somebody have this problem??

I suspect it is a problem with the spec file under the %files section.

Re: [CentOS] modern motherboard for centos-5
I think these drivers were merged into a the kernel a bit later in the kernel than CentOS uses, although am a bit surprised upstream didn't backport. Before I set the machine up for proper, I tried a live Ubuntu disk which recognised the ethernet no problem, which lead me to figuring out what to do next for CentOS. Before I bought this board, I must admit I tried to find a suitable modern board myself and didn't come up with much in the way of resources... I thought it ought to be documented in a wiki or something. I ended up doing some guesswork and taking pot-luck...

It's not on your machine, so the system is assigning the build to a different account. It's not really an error, so much as a legacy warning.

[CentOS] Trouble running 'alsamixer' as normal user on headless box with minimal system
Hi, I just transformed an old Pentium III 500 into a headless jukebox. It's installed in the basement, near the stereo. There's only a base CentOS system on it (GNOME unchecked, package customization checked and then everything unchecked). From there on, I just installed the ALSA utils, and vorbis-tools. The machine is only supposed to do one thing (and to do it well, UNIX philosophy :oD): fetch an audio stream (produced by MPD/Icecast upstairs on a big PC) and then output it from the soundcard to the AUX IN from the stereo. I have a partial - and near-total - success, in that everything runs fine... as root user. Whenever I try to run alsamixer as a normal user on that box, I get the following error message: [kikino...@jukebox ~]$ alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory Something similar happens with ogg123, which runs fine as root, but produces the following error message as plain user: [kikino...@jukebox ~]$ ogg123 http://babasse:8000/jukebox.ogg ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type ALSA lib pcm.c:2184:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default === Impossible de charger le pilote par défaut, et aucun autre pilote n'est indiqué dans le fichier de configuration.

crw--- 1 root root 14, 4 jui 6 15:23 /dev/audio
crw--- 1 root root 14, 3 jui 6 15:23 /dev/dsp
Uh oh. So here's the core of the problem.
Now as far as I understand, it's useless to change the owner of these
with a simple chown, as the device nodes get dynamically created by udev
(correct me if I'm wrong). I *think* I have to edit some udev rule file
to change this, but this is as far as my knowledge goes.
(This is strange... I can't remember doing anything like this to the
device files... how comes the ownership is different on a standard
desktop system?)

Yeah, unfortunatelly I don't know either. Never used systems for such
thing, it's probably a udev issue. Easy solution is to chown user

As people point out, you can usually get along without one, but doing so is a bad idea in some configurations. If you run a server that's dedicated to any single large application (like dedicated tomcat or database server), then you should have swap at least as large as RAM. Even when you configure the system so that applications stay within the bounds of RAM, fork() will fail in your application if it doesn't have room for a complete second copy of itself in memory. The space won't normally be used, since Linux uses a copy-on-write technique for fork(), but it still requires the space before it will allow fork() to succeed. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Get the interface counters for the interface, sleep 5 seconds(or more), get them again, calculate the difference taking into account interface speed and you can determine the % utilization that way.

For my ~400 systems I use a custom script setup that I wrote and tie it into cfengine. Basically it generates dynamic passwd/shadow/group files for several different 'classes' of systems. Very few accounts have passwords, 99%+ of logins are done via ssh key based authentication which is managed by another script which dynamically creates ssh authorized_keys files for at least the shared accounts. Key files for both shared accounts and user accounts are managed by cfengine and populated by me. Key files and passwd/shadow/group files are inspected hourly and replaced if they were somehow changed from the master. The person who was in my role before me tried to setup LDAP and it didn't work out too well. I learned at a while back that in this type of environment anyways LDAP is just another layer, and remains complicated even today(I've been managing LDAP systems off and on for about 8 years now). The system I use today I wrote a couple of years ago and has proven to be very robust and reliable since each & every server has everything it needs to authenticate users. Both scripts show me detailed information of the changes I make before they are committed, and make automatic backups for easy rollback. Home directories on some internal servers are centrally hosed by an NFS cluster, though most home directories are just skeletons that are not shared/replicated in any way. CFengine automatically creates home directories that do not exist by means of another script a co-worker of mine wrote a few years ago. There's very few services other than ssh that we need authentication for, those typically have their own user databases. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

(The reason that I'm asking is becasue I may be setting up an Icecast server at some point -- project approval still hasn't showed up -- and would prefer to do it on Centos if I can.) -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] hardware requirements for Centos 2
Hi. Could you please give me advice about issue described below. My friends have to use a PC with old hardware for a few months. They've got 128MB of RAM, 20 GB hard drive; Pentium 3 processor. At the moment they have windows xp running on it, but it's very slow. What are the system requirements for CentOS 2 or any other version of this OS that may be suitable? Can you recommend any other Linux distro that would be easy to install and to use? Thanks in advance for any input. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] hardware requirements for Centos 2
The RAM is a little on the low side, 512M is the recommended to run a GUI at the moment I think but 128M is all that's required for Command line, and GUI would probably run but might be a little slow to respond. But otherwise this machine should do run Centos 5 fine. The CPU and HD are more then adequate Ubuntu is the anther distro to play with if you want to play with a non-RPM based distro. With all the distro's I've played with Centos 5 and the current Ubuntu 9 (http://www.ubuntu.com/ ) are about the easiest to get up and running. Both of these distro's have a nice constant stream of free software updates/upgrades being feed into them so having an network connection available helps. -Original Message- From: centos-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of Dmitry Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 11:45 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] hardware requirements for Centos 2 Hi.

I used to have a similar PC (also with 128 ram), and the fastest distros that run on it were Slackware and VectorLinux (without heavy DE's like KDE or Xfce). Even so, 128 ram was painful, 256 was quite almost enjoyable so I realy recommend to make an effort to buy some more ram. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

man tmpwatch shows that this is designed to cleanup tmp directories -
you may want to see why your tmp files are either very many or have some

Yes. CentOS 5. Start with a minimal install (base system). Install and configure X. Only install packages you really need, be sure to deactivate all unnecessary services.

I ran it just fine on 256MB until one of the ram modules died. I then ran it on 128MB painfully while waiting for the replacement (256MB) chip to arrive. Note though that I'm running the full gnome GUI. Disable JavaScript except when you absolutely must have it, browsing with JS / flash enabled crashes low memory machines. Don't use OpenOffice - AbiWord an Gnumeric both do well on low memory machines. For that matter, so does LaTeX as it just uses a text editor until you are ready to compile your document, but LaTeX has quite a learning curve. If the 20GB HD is a 5400RPM (probably is) try to get a 7200RPM drive - that's what I did in my old laptop and the difference was night and day. If it is a desktop, and you do replace the drive with faster spinning, if there's room to continue using the older drive - you can use the older drive as dedicated swap, which will help a lot. You don't need 20GB of swap, you can partition it, but don't use the non swap for anything much other than storage of stuff you don't need to access often. This, btw, is what I love about Linux.

In that case, I bet this is your yum-updatesd daemon interfering. Try this: # service yum-updatesd stop And then: # chkconfig yum-updatesd off Basically, you can't have two instances of Yum running at the same time.

I use active directory since I am platform agnostic. If you want directory service quick 'n dirty go with NIS+Kerberos, then you can look at LDAP as an addition or replacement for NIS later after things are working. NIS will allow anyone on the network to query it, so don't put passwords in it, just usernames, full name, uid/gid, home, shell. Create Kerberos principals for each user and for each computer and each computer/service (that supports Kerberos SSO that is). Then use pam_krb5 for authentication while adding NIS support in nsswitch. You can migrate the users to LDAP later if need be. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] yum install hangs
Carlos: What about kill -15? Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (281)846-8957, www.JAMMConsulting.com Will your e-commerce site go offline if you have a DB server failure, fiber cut, flood, or other disaster?

Re: [CentOS] yum install hangs
Carlos: There are several other signals you can try listed on this page: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_12_01.html If none of those work, I don't think there is anything else you can do besides reboot.

[CentOS] Formatting print with awk and ORS
I have a command I execute:
awk 'BEGIN { ORS=" " } { print "\"" $1 "\"" }' input_file
which gives me exactly what I need, all field one's in quotes on one line
each separated by one space. I now need to print a single quote around all
of this, but the ORS flag is screwing me up, it's causing every attempt I
try to repeat for every record.
Anyone got a pointer how to do this?
Thanks!
