[CentOS] (Al)pine on CentOS 6
Greetings, The alpine mail rpm indicates that it comes packaged with configuration files (/etc/pine*conf*). However, they aren't there. Possible? Also, how did you get rid of the annoying alpine bug: a message that keeps flashing - [Folder vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection]? Thanks.

There is no alpine rpm in Centos 6. Where did you get that? Suggest you ask for help on the correct mailing.

I got it from @epel repositories: Installed Packages alpine.x86_64 2.03-2.el6 @epel It seems fairly common in the Fedora/CentOS realm to rely on packages from other key repositories.

[CentOS] dumb logrotate conf file question
Given the apparent addiction fail2ban keeps finding to the existing logfile - not looking at the *new* one once logrotate runs - I was putting a hack into place in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog. Nothing I find is perfectly clear: I want to restart fail2ban *after* the logs are rotated. Do I put the /sbin/service fail2ban restart after endscript, or do I add a lastaction after endscipt, and put it after *that*? mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I find the "users" list on fedoraproject challenging. The stated vulnerability is a known bug in alpine, and it has been there for a long time. Many lists have complaints about it, but it doesn't seem to get the attention of the developers/maintainers.

Aggressiveness is less of an issue. Getting good signal (relative to ad-hominem noise) is important. Twenty years ago, Usenet with a good reader got big/thick signal, especially on the tech lists. However since then, projects have become numerous and varied, as have sources of information (email lists, web-based discussions, etc).

First, you appear to have a problem with X. Does the correct driver *work*? Questions for this: what video card? do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (not subdirectory) if so, what driver is it showing? Next: you can't log back in (as you?), but can as root.

It seems that you just do not have a network connection (or DNS) working. With no network, GNOME is not happy (it can not properly resolve it's name). So: 1. You need to learn to use VIM to edit files and do so via ctrl-alt-f2. 2. You need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and turn it on while booting 3. If you do not have DHCP setup on your network for clients, then you need to setup the IP address manually and setup DNS manually in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 once that is working, we can troubleshoot other things. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] ext4 deadlock issue
I'm having an occasional problem with a box. It's a Supermicro 16-core Xeon, running CentOS 6.3 with kernel 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64, 96 gigs of RAM, and an Areca 1882ix-24 RAID controller with 24 disks, 23 in RAID6 plus a hot spare. The RAID is divided into 3 partitions, two of 25 TB plus one for the rest. Lately, I've noticed sporadic hangs on writing to the RAID, which "resolve" themselves with the following message in dmesg: INFO: task jbd2/sdb2-8:3607 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. jbd2/sdb2-8 D 000a 0 3607 2 0x0080 881055d03d20 0046 881055d03ca0 811ada77 8810552e2400 88109c6566e8 2f38 8810546e1540 8810546e1af8 881055d03fd8 fb88 8810546e1af8 Call Trace: [] ? __set_page_dirty+0x87/0xf0 [] ? prepare_to_wait+0x4e/0x80 [] jbd2_journal_commit_transaction+0x19f/0x14b0 [jbd2] [] ? __switch_to+0xd0/0x320 [] ? lock_timer_base+0x3c/0x70 [] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [] kjournald2+0xb8/0x220 [jbd2] [] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [] ? kjournald2+0x0/0x220 [jbd2] [] kthread+0x96/0xa0 [] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [] ? kthread+0x0/0xa0 [] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 I get two of these messages in close succession, then things proceed normally. It doesn't happen often, and only under load. I'm uncertain, but think it might just happen once per boot, once it's happened, it doesn't repeat until rebooting. I'm not sure of this, however. Things otherwise seem fine, other logs, RAID controller event logs, RAID controller physical disk status and health reports are normal, etc. After getting this error once, attempting to re-write the exact same file on the filesystem gets no errors and works normally, so I doubt it's a physical thing with the drives anyway. Anyone seen anything like this before? It's not very frequent, but it's very annoying. -- Joakim Ziegler - Supervisor de postproducción - Terminal joa...@terminalmx.com - 044 55 2971 8514 - 5264 0864 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Since networking is off, you have to get it turned on (or reinstall and turn it on this time). See this FAQ entry: http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS6#head-b67e85d98f0e9f1b599358105c551632c6ff7c90 and this screen on how to do it on an install: http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_6&p=install In the 8th step ... you need to press the "Configure Network" button and you need to then check the "Connect Automatically" box (per the above FAQ link). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I think your CentOS is running fine. You have a problem with X or Gnome. I'd do this. (assumes you have a network conection) init 3 yum groupinstall XFCE init 5 Select user from select box. Before entering password look down(bottom middle of screen and select gnome xfce) log in. If you still have a fail, points to X (X.org ) Hope this helps.

Copy or rename your existing initrd to a path in /boot, so that you can revert if anything goes wrong. After that, create a new one. If that fixes the problem, I'd be curious to know why. We can compare the content of the two if that changes anything, and I'll learn something.

Re: [CentOS] ext4 deadlock issue
Ok, will try the firmware first. I saw some talk of the scheduler, but I was uncertain if that applied in my case. By the way, doesn't the command you include switch to the noop scheduler? Shouldn't it be "echo deadline"? -- Joakim Ziegler - Supervisor de postproducción - Terminal joa...@terminalmx.com - 044 55 2971 8514 - 5264 0864 On 26/03/13 18:43, Gordon Messmer wrote: > On 03/26/2013 02:01 PM, Joakim Ziegler wrote: >> Anyone seen anything like this before?
