Frustrated. Java on Centos 6 doesn't give an error message when downloading from a Samsung Galaxy S3

By Rock at 05/23/2013 - 22:24

Maybe this all boils down to "how do we debug when Java fails on Centos 6?

DETAILS:
If you don't have the Samsung Galaxy S3, then you might not realize how
frustratingly difficult it is to transfer multiple files from the
smartphone to Centos 6.

It should be as simple as hooking up a USB cable and dragging and
dropping (which it is, on most other smartphones, including the Samsung
Galaxy S2, which has USBMS mode still intact).

Note: I don't have a microUSB card, so that isn't an option and I have no
desire to transfer the personal photos to the cloud just to get them from
the phone

Dell R320 server

By Jerry Geis at 05/23/2013 - 17:04

Is there a way on Dell R320 (two power supplies and hardware RAID-1) on
centos
to get a message that a power supply is failing or that one of the
hardware RAID disks is failing?
Sure there is the front panel - but no-one is there ...

Is that reported to linux/centos some way?
This is my first R320.

Thanks,

Jerry

Changing disk UUID after cloning

By Glenn Eychaner at 05/22/2013 - 15:58

So, I have a CentOS 6 system, and I want to make several clones of it. I'm using Clonezilla to clone the drives; that's no problem. But the drive UUIDs are driving me up the wall. After cloning, the two drives have the same UUID, but I'd like each clone to have different UUIDs so there's no possibility of a conflict when I am running diagnostics with two drives installed, etc.

SuperMicro with LSI MegaRaid with Centos 6.0

By Gregory P. Ennis at 05/21/2013 - 13:54

Everyone,

I am trying to install a Centos 6.0 system on a SuperMicro with an LSI
MegaRaid SCSI 320-2 controller.

I had originally tried to install 6.4, but the 6.4 install DVD does not
boot with this configuration.
See :
<a href="http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5377" title="http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5377">http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5377</a>

Fortunately, the 6.0 install DVD worked fine until it failed to identify
the hard disc controller. I checked the lsi.com site which had a driver
for RH 3 and RH4, but not 5 and not 6.

The next CentOS Dojo is coming to Aldershot, UK - a 45 min train ride
from London Waterloo station - on the 12th July 2013. We have a great,

And, the venue sponsors - catn.com - are going to organise a hog roast
barbecue and beet for everyone attending once the talks are done (

semi-OT: flashing the BIOS on an HP dl580 GT, afterward

By m.roth at 05/21/2013 - 11:41

When last we saw our hero, er, sysadmin, he'd found that the "noarch" BIOS
update was, in fact, a self-extracting .exe file, and he'd extracted it.
Finally getting the ok to take the system down, the following hilarity
(for small values of hilarity) ensued.

First, booting off unetbootin to freedos was fine... except it was try to
guess which version - freedos + emm386 + himem, no himem, live CD only,
or, finally, "no drivers loaded", which works.

CentOS source rpm repository setup

ReiserFS - status?

By =?ISO-8859-2?Q?... at 05/21/2013 - 08:11

Hi All.

What is the status of ReiserFS in CentOS at the moment? I have some servers
which use it as a loadable kernel module. I am thinking about a filesystem
for database systems and would like to know if ReiserFS will be maintained
in CentOS/Linux kernel in the future?

Best regards,
Rafal.

ICMPv6 Neighbour Solication request is not answered by linux when IPv6 address is assigned via Netlink code.

By Kevin Peterson at 05/21/2013 - 02:10

Hi,

I have a process which is running as a linux service and assigns IP addresses using netlink to configued interface in linux.
For IPv4 addresses i do not see any issue with this assignment.

When i try to assign an IPv6 address, the address gets assigned successfully to the interface, but the Neighbour Solication request received for that address is not responded with and hence ping6 from a different machine doesn't work.

When i take the same netlink code and run it in a sample program the address gets assigned and the Neighbour solicitation is responded with a advertisement and hence pi

NIC interrupts and packets per second ratio, how to calculate? There must be some way...

Hello again guys,

Iam trying to asses the best hardware for a machine that procceses a

How to load balance interrupts of a NIC on the PCI-MSI-edge driver in CentOS? :(

By Alex Flex at 05/21/2013 - 00:53

Hello CentOS !

Iam trying to configure a Dual Core 1.6Ghz AMD E-350 machine to be able
NIC (eth0) interrupts the most efficient way possible so that I can be
able to handle the large number of random source packets per second.
Currently running CentOS 6.4 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64, i made some load
testing with a random sourced syn flood to the NIC of this machine and
found out according to top all the CPU interrupts are being sent to
CPU0, thus saturating it and keeping the second core 100% idle because
of this the amount of PPS handled is low (50k /sec). So..

Where did yum install monodevelop?

Today I tried installing monodevelop and this is the result of the

Now. When I went to my terminal and ran monodevelop... nothing. When
I tried to locate the actual executable by running
find . -name "*monodevelop*" (kinda overkill, but figured that I'd get this
option out of the way), I couldn't find anything. So, now, I'm scratching
my head and wondering what to do next :) . Where did I mess up? Am
I not starting monodevelop correctly?

TPM and secure boot

By John R Pierce at 05/19/2013 - 16:59

has anyone implemented any sort of 'secure boot' using TPM 1.2 modules
on the server boards using CentOS 6.x ? I'm not finding much concrete
stuff on how to setup and manage a system like this, but I've been asked
to research it for a security application internally at my job.

our primary application for the TPM is for client authentication
certificates in an SSL application (the machine with the TPM is an
unmanned embedded client, that accesses webservices on a remote server
which needs to authenticate this client).

I found no back doors by using rkhunter or manually searching for
suspicious files in /tmp, etc. No activity at all in the php logs at the
time of the attack.

6.4 on old PC not connecting

By Beartooth at 05/18/2013 - 16:46

On an old server (Dell PowerEdge SC1420, now without RAID)
I have CentOS 6.4 installed, up, and running -- but it
keeps failing to connect for some reason ....

NetworkManager applet 0.8.1 runs blue rings around in the
panel for a while, then reports itself disconnected. It also
offers a pseudo-choice, if I right-click, between Wired
Connection and eth0; in fact, the cable to the router is the only
connection the machine has or has ever had.

I've tried such things as I could find to get a
connection, in vain.

OT: Script Help

By James Pifer at 05/18/2013 - 15:15

Sorry for the off topic, but don't a better resource. I'm not great at
scripting, but need a quick script to modify a file.

I have a long file that has lines like this:

some text
some text2
CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
some text3
some text4

And this repeats, but XYZ changes. "DATA" is always called data. (it's
being renamed basically)

I need to change the middle line but leave the rest of the file as is
like this:

some text
some text2
CN=XYZ_DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
some text3
some text4

Anyone know a quick way to do this?

By byrnejb at 05/18/2013 - 15:01

I posted this to the Jitsi users mailing list on Thursday last and
have received no replies. Does anyone here have any idea of what is
causing this and how to fix it?

One other bit of information. When I first installed Jitsi it
initially worked for a non-privileged user as I ran it from the gnome
menu of my login account. However, at some point it seemed get
'confused' and hung. Since then I have been unable to get it to run
as a non-privileged user. I have removed and reinstalled it. I have
also rebooted the host.

Best configuration for encrypted software RAID 1?

By Dave Johansen at 05/15/2013 - 12:22

I'm setting up a computer with CentOS 6.4 and a mirrored software

the two partitions used by the RAID?

wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script5.pl) &
wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script7.pl) &

I have many entries in this file and I background them all because
most must poll network devices which can take time.

Slightly OT: Samsung Chromebook

By Timothy Murphy at 05/15/2013 - 06:44

I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Chromebook,
largely for use while travelling.
But I'd like to use it at home linked to my CentOS-6.4 server,
rather than to the cloud.
I'm wondering if this is practicable?
I use LaTeX quite a lot,
and I don't know if I could (a) download LaTeX to the Chromebook,
(b) run LaTeX on the cloud,
or (c) run LaTeX on my server from the Chromebook.

Has anyone experience of doing this sort of thing?

Force anaconda to use GPT labels on all drives?

By Tucker at 05/14/2013 - 01:44

I did a quick search through the archive and couldn't find anything that
mapped to my need, so I figured I should ping the community and see if
anyone has the requisite knowledge and could point me in the right
direction.

*Succinct Version*
Is there a way to, using updates.img, monkey patching or swapping in a
newer Anaconda (>= 16) to force all disks to have gpt labels and not just
disks> 2TB?

*TL;DR Version*
I'm working on setting up an installation environment and am trying to make
it as machine agnostic as possible. We're currently using CentOS 6.3 (will
start 6.4 work soon).

Red Hat has put together all support for this at <a href="http://openstack.redhat.com/" title="http://openstack.redhat.com/">http://openstack.redhat.com/</a>.

I've documented installation, post-install config tweaks, how to add a few
ready-to-use guest images and links to a few gotchas on the following wiki page:

Most items can be setup on the command line this way, no need to e.g.

CentOS 6.4 Samba 3.6.9 Regression

By Ryan Wagoner at 05/12/2013 - 10:20

Anyone know the reason RHEL bumped Samba from 3.5.10 to 3.6.9? This version
has a regression with BackupExec and Veeam backing up to network shares. I
receive access denied errors. Samba is in security=user mode and not joined
to a domain. If I downgrade just the Samba packages to the CentOS 6.3
version 3.5.10 everything works again.

cifs mount desktop icon

By Emiliano =?iso-... at 05/10/2013 - 15:13

Hi,

I am mounting a Windows share on /media/%(USER)/mountpoint via pam_mount and I would like to show the volume desktop icon for every user logged in.
The thing is that it works only for the first user that gets logged, when another user logs in, the desktop icon is missing, but the share mount works just fine if you navigate through the /media directory.
The share is the same for all the users, but each user mounts it with its own privileges.

Could it be something related to the name of the share being the same each time?

Looking for a CentOS-friendly online backup company

By Digimer at 05/10/2013 - 14:46

Hi all.

We've got a lot of customers running CentOS 5 and 6 servers. We've
been asked by many to provide backup, which is something we don't want
to do in house. So we started looking for backup companies to partner
with. The problem is that the ones we've found who support RHEL won't
support CentOS.

So does anyone know of an online backup company that _will_ support
CentOS (and Windows)?

Any pointers will be much appreciated!

CentOS 6-6.3 -> no updates and security fixes?

By =?ISO-8859-2?Q?... at 05/10/2013 - 05:56

Hi All.

I've found:

This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users,
you should use /6/ and not /6.3/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
concerning the CentOS release scheme:

<a href="http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34" title="http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34">http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34</a>

If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 6.3
level, go to <a href="http://vault.centos.org/" title="http://vault.centos.org/">http://vault.centos.org/</a> for packages.

Please keep in mind that 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 no longer gets any updates,
nor
any security fix's.

Is CentOS 6-6.3 really not updated anymore?

Need a Centos 6 USB hard drive recovery procedure

By Rock at 05/09/2013 - 16:41

My 15GB backup USB drive somehow got "corrupted" such that
a "chkdsk /f E:" on WinXP removed the file allocation table
(or whatever) making the NTFS drive appear empty.

I tried Windows Recuva freeware to recover the files, and
it has been working for 24 hours; but it has dumped about
65,000 files into a separate flat Windows directory.
<a href="http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/12892041/img/12892041.jpg" title="http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/12892041/img/12892041.jpg">http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/12892041/img/12892041.jpg</a>

Since none of the files were deleted or written over, is
there a method on Linux that will simply recover the missing
file allocation directory structure instead of dumping a
hundred thousand file

Missing printer driver

What is the recommended method to obtain Pan 0.136+ (with SSL) for Centos 6?

By Rock at 05/08/2013 - 16:26

I've been successfully using Pan 0.135 from the RPMForge repository
for about a year now:

$ yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo c6-media,\*-source,\*debug\* provides "*/pan"
==> 1:pan-0.135-1.el6.rf.x86_64 : The Pan Newsreader
==> Repo : installed
$ sudo yum --enablerepo rpmforge install pan -y
==> Package 1:pan-0.135-1.el6.rf.x86_64 already installed and latest version

For a good reason (native SSL support), I'm interested in testing out Pan
version 0.136 (or above).

Trying to justify CentOS vs. RHEL

By Bidwell, Christopher at 05/07/2013 - 17:12

Hi all,

I'm in the process of moving all of my RHEL systems over to CentOS but the
argument that fires back at me is for critical vulnerabilities for items
such as zero-day exploits and such.

deleting Cyrus mailbox with empty name

By Tilman Schmidt at 05/07/2013 - 15:04

A junior administrator of mine mistakenly created a mailbox
with an empty name, by typing into cyradm the commands:

createmailbox user/$lb
setquota user/$lb 10000

He will of course shortly receive an extra lesson on shell
variables, but meanwhile I find myself confronted with the
problem how to get rid of the mailbox he created. So far
all attempts have failed:

[cyrus@posthamster ~]$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/quota
Quota % Used Used Root
0 user/
0 user/ 10000
[...]
[cyrus@posthamster ~]$ ls -l /var/spool/imap/user/
total 2180
drwx------.

dual head on centos 5 and ancient Nvidia Quadro NVS280SD card

By fred smith at 05/06/2013 - 16:47

I was just handed a 2nd monitor for my system at work, and using Centos 5 (latest)
can't make dual head work. a good bit of googling isn't being particularly
helpful either.

It's a HP workstation xw4100, with Nvidia Quadro NVS280SD graphics card.
Enabling dual head in the "display" app simply configures X so that it
(i.e., X) won't start. I haven't found the x log file in /var/log to be
helpful, either.

Problem with D-BUS Centos 6.4

By AJH at 05/06/2013 - 05:46

Hello,

I hope anyone at the list could help me...

I like to open a notify by using "/usr/bin/notify-send"
in my .procmailrc.
Should show a notify if a new mail arrive.

My script which creates that notify-send is
working and if I test it everything works fine.

So I inserted it into my .procmailrc, i looks like that:
| perl /opt/sbin/mailnotify.pl
I like to grep my mail into my script which creates the notify-send...

If procmail triggers that script this messages comes up into
the logfile of procmail:
