If it looks like YUM can remove it without damaging perl or anything else, then go ahead and let it do it. Go look for the perl.src.rpm that matches your version and extract the core File::Temp and copy it into your perl tree. rpm2cpio perl.i386.src.rpm | cpio -ivd /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.x/File/Temp.pm I have many of the details fudged here, but the extraction is right.

Joe, Sure the SPEC is broken since the dependency is on a binary file from package coreutils, rather than another RPM. However, you are using a Cadillac OS (Linux) which includes a C-compiler and has as part of its core perl the perl module Digest::MD5. - snip Digest-Perl-MD5 disclaimer --- DISCLAIMER This is not an interface (like "Digest::MD5") but a Perl implementation of MD5. It is written in perl only and because of this it is slow but it works without C-Code. You should use "Digest::MD5" instead of this module if it is available. This module is only usefull for computers where you cannot install "Digest::MD5" (e.g. lack of a C-Compiler) encrypting only small amounts of data (less than one million bytes).

The 8 disks are set up as two raid 5 volumes (4 disks each). There is a scsi card in the machine w/ nothing attached to it. The graphics card is na NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 (pci express x16).

I believe it does the checksumming verification automatically. I also ran sha1sum against the image, and it came out fine. 2)I burned the image to a dvd using roxio. No errors. When I couldn't get down the road, I burned another copy with no errors. 3)During the install, I verified the media with no errors for both of the disks. 4)I downloaded the driver for this OS and raid card from AMCC-3ware site and made a driver floppy. 5)I booted the dvd and ran "linux dd" to do the install. Should the graphical installer work on an nvidia quadro fx1500 graphics card? At the present it doesn't appear to work for me, I get hash all over the screen, once X starts. 6)I booted the dvd again and ran "linux text dd". I verified my dvd media without problems, and it reads the driver floppy and loads the 3w-9xxx driver. It asks questions about lang, kbd and timezone. 7)For partitions, I selected custom, created a /boot, /, swap and /home on the first 320 GB disk (it turns out to be sdc, with sda and sdb being the big raid volumes). After the grub section (I told it to put grub on the /boot partition) the screen is blue, and it just sis without any further response (I left it over night, so it should have finished). 8)If I press alt-f3, the last thing I see is: 13:18:16 INFO : Moving (1) to step reposetup 9)If I press alt-f4, the last thing I see is: <5>SQUASHFS error : sb_bread failed reading block 0x6acc <5>SQUASHFS error : unable to read page, block 1aaa0d9, size 9154 8)I'm at a loss as to what to try next, or how to find out what is wrong. Chuck, I'm suprised that the raid array wasn't named as /dev/mapper/isw_xxxyyyxxx to be named as /dev/sdc suggests that anaconda didn't use dmraid. To be sure that the installer missed using dmraid, you could do a quick knoppix (4.0+) live session and try to mount and read the fakeraid array named above. If you don't find the isw_ device, then you will have to redo the install, adding the dmraid kernel parameter along with "dd text dmraid".

This is what you said in the OP The intent is to install the OS onto the 2-320GB drives on the motherboard controller (preferrably in a raid 1 configuration). The other disks are for our data requirements. The MB controller is fakeraid and to use it would require the dmraid support in the install.

[CentOS] best source for rpmdevtools RPM in C5
hello, I'm going to try this question again. The first time I botched it and the answers I got were useless. I want to use rpmdevtools to help with some packaging chores. There is no C5 version that I can find. I've located an SRC RPM in a location that is known to be C5 compatible. There are 2 versions of rpmdevtools: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/rpmdevtools-6.1-0.1.fc6.src.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/rpmdevtools-5.3-1.fc6.src.rpm naturally I grabbed the highest version (6.1) and rebuilt it for EL5. The installation halted, missing a version of rpm-build higher than the base version in C5. It seems that rpm-build 4.4.2.1+ comes from FC7. This is the first time that I've seen an FC6 repo package that depended on something from FC7. rpmdevtools 5.3.1 builds, installs, and works fine on C5. I think I made the right decisions here (balking at trying to install a higher version of rpm-build). If you need to use rpmdevtools, how would you approach the problem?

[CentOS] centos home router-gateway network setup
Hello, In the last 3 days I setup my SOHO in 2 ways (1) attempt using a retail wifi/router by Netgear. The wifi is not part of this question. WAN (TW Cable modem) | | Netgear (192.168.1.1) \ \ _\__ | eth0 | | \ | | \--br0--eth2 | | | | | C5.5 eth1 | | / | |___ /___| / / LAN (switch upstairs) above is my first setup for SOHO network. Only br0 had an IP (dynamic). All of the nics had proto None and were slaved to br0. This is a very easy setup. The whole network, from Netgear to LAN and beyond, is one subnet. (2) attempt - permanently remove the Netgear and have C5.5 do all the services- gateway, router, dhcp, and firewall. The only way I could get this to work was with no bridging at all. Each nic needed an IP and all on different subnets. eth0: dynamic from TW WAN eth1: static at 192.168.1.1 eth2: static at 192.168.3.1 Using the lokkit firewall tool and adding NAT/Masquerade to eth0 this worked. My question is: is there a way avoid a wasted IP at eth2 and somehow bridge it to or with eth1 so only one subnet is possible inside the LAN? I know I need at least one static IP on one of the nics for the gateway. -- Mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If all you want to do is kick-off an install via USB stick, you want http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images/diskboot.img and use syslinux/memdisk to boot it on a vfat partition - syslinux.cfg label c564 kernel memdisk append initrd=/diskboot.img - snip you can dd the whole IMG to your stick, but its cleaner to collect such images and reference them in syslinux.cfg.

Although atheros chipsets will work with the madwifi drivers, USB devices were not supported as late as Feb '08.

hello, Looking for alternative ideas to parse the combined Apache log: /var/log/httpd/access_log (is how I named it) What I've tried so far is a CPAN search, which pointed me to a recently created module called ApacheLog::Parser >From the C5 shell, I used something like this (heavily refined from how I >started) -- sh script - #rpm --import http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL yum install ncftp --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=epel yum -y install perl-Test-Pod \ perl-YAML \ perl-Test-Pod-Coverage \ perl-Class-Accessor \ perl-IPC-Run \ perl-Time-modules \ perl-DateTime \ perl-Date-Simple perl -MCPAN -e 'install Class::Accessor::Classy' perl -MCPAN -e 'install Time::Piece' perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Piece' perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Fu' # yum install perl-IPC-Run3 perl -MCPAN -e 'install Getopt::Helpful' perl -MCPAN -e 'install ApacheLog::Parser' -- end snip --- the above worked on a fresh install of C5.2 with a LAMP setup. CPAN asked for ncftp in its setup. I must have tried 50-60 commands before I settled on the abbreviated version above. As an exercise, I took a shot at using cpan2rpm to package the tar.gz's into RPM's the resulting RPM's are here: http://www.tlviewer.org/fostats they are signed with my RPM-GPG key http://www.tlviewer.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-mpryor.txt -- Mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Is there an expected file name > format? Joseph, Say you have the iso: CentOS-5.2-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso (4.6 GB) that iso is too big for a vfat partition, so it should be downloaded to an ext3 type. If you check the images folder (after mounting as iso9660) mount -t iso9660 ./CentOS-5.2-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso /mnt/nfs -o loop,ro IOW check /mnt/nfs/images inside there are several mini-boot images: an boot.iso to burn to CD and diskboot.img for a USB boot. Using either, once you get to the prompt: >linux askmethod it will bring up the menu for nfs or harddisk. nfs nfs has worked flawlessly for me. You need another box which has the iso mounted (shown above) and that mount point exported via nfs. Make sure the box targetted for install has a common enough ethernet device which the boot kernel supports and plug it in to your network. The installer will configure it for dhcp. You will need the IP address of the nfs server and its nfs mount point (/mnt/nfs) to get the installer kicked off. harddisk --- This method has not worked for me on C5, though on fedora it always worked. To see for yourself, pick a neutral partition (ext3) like /data and put the DVD iso in the root. If the iso is unique and the only possible C5 DVD iso, then all you need to give the menu is the device name (/dev/sda3 or whatever it is) -- the installer will do the smart thing and find the iso. It will start to boot and the install will begin, but it will fail early in the same spot -- IIRC, its the proposal/partition stage or immediately there after. I've always given up on the harddisk method on C5. I would be very happy to hear that others got it to work! -- Mark http://www.tlviewer.org/centos (my repo) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] rebuilding firefox-2.0.0.16 from fc8
hello, I started with ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/SRPMS/firefox-2.0.0.16-1.fc8.src.rpm with the hope of rebuilding it for el5/centos. All of the dependencies were available (mostly from rpmforge) except one: something called system-bookmarks. I elected to comment out this from the spec, firefox.spec I did the extracts with CPIO rpm2cpio firefox-xxx.src.rpm | cpio -i firefox.spec then i extracted everything else and copied it to my buildroot ~/redhat/SOURCES then the moment of truth. I didn't see another way except to rebuild all so I did >rpmbuild -ba --sign ~/SPECS/firefox.spec while the above worked, it took long enough that I was able to go to dinner and have a beer before it finished. On top of that, thermal alarms went off as the CPU/PWM reached 57C/67C. a new RPM, and src.RPM were written to the BR and the RPM (i386) works fine. Was it necessary to do the complete build (-ba) since I only eliminated a single build-requires value? -- Mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] creating C6 xen VM and virt-install
List, Now that Centos 6 is here, virt-install fails to launch an install for a C6 xen domU. The virt-install script is part of libvirt and is in package: python-virtinst.noarch the script, OSDistro.py, has a path hard-coded for a rhelX or centos VM install. IOW, ./images/xen is appended to the provided mirror URL to get the kernel/initrd.img pair needed for a netboot. Centos 6 repos don't have this subfolder in the images branch, but they have ./images/isolinux. Is there a reason that ./images/xen subfolder can't be created and populated with the boot pair from the ISOLINUX subfolder? I believe another RH clone project does this with good results.

Minimal install + xauth + gedit and I'd have thought you were there. xauth is the important bit that you can accidentally miss off. You just need to check for ssh X forwarding working. ssh -Y to your server and "echo $DISPLAY". If it's not defined, you've got a problem. jh I finally got it to work. I think the error was the lack of vfb=[] object during the initial install. If you have a vfb from the beginning it will work.

I've tested it out via the fc8 live CD and the bless/overload bug is absent.
- bug test --
#!/usr/bin/perl
use overload q(<) => sub {};
my %h;
for (my $i=0; $i<5; $i++) {
$h{$i} = bless [ ] => 'main';
print STDERR '.' if $i % 1000 == 0;
}
- end snip
the above runs in about .4 sec, while on C5.2 it takes 8-12 seconds.

[CentOS] flash fails to work on Los Angeles Times website - fix
Hello, I have a 32-bit install of C5.2 on my Intel Centrino Laptop (2005). The Adobe flash plugin works fine in Firefox in all cases except on the Los Angeles Times website http://www.latimes.com. I was baffled by this for a few months, since it works on another 32-bit C5.2 box. When I realized that the only real difference was that the laptop had no LAMP install, and both had the same elaborate set of hosts redirects (to avoid adverts), it seemed reasonable that the /etc/hosts file might be the culprit. Sure enough, both boxes had this line in the redirects --- /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net --- end snip - I could see that flash was hanging on the laptop when it looked for a response from ad.doubleclick.net In order to fix the bug, I commented out the line. Flash now worked! In order to avoid the advert, I changed 127.0.0.1, to another private LAMP install on my home network (192.168.1.104). Problem solved. At the very least this redirect needs to return a response, or the flash video will hang and never start. This is true for the LA Times implementation of adverts, at least. Maybe your newspaper sites behave similarly. My 2cents worth of troubleshooting, Mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

After trying for 2 hours, I ran into 3 brickwall-issues. Like you found, there are two base perl modules which require newer versions than that which comes with 5.3. These modules are File::Temp and Encode (core) cpan2rpm can package them OK, but there are fatal transaction check errors when installing. Mr. JV is the author of RT3 and DBIx::SearchBuilder. The SearchBuilder module also stopped me (briefly) with a dependency on DBD::Oracle. To grab this from CPAN requires the supporting Orable Libs. I altered the spec and removed any Oracle depends.

At the time you did the copy, there likely was an existing symlink from /etc/localtime to another timezone. Then your copy was relegated back to the symlink on reboot? Something like that.
