I wanted to install the rpmforge-release package on a new install and get the following. Do others have the same problem? b51:~ rpm -ivvvvvvvh http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge- release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm Retrieving http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6- 1.el5.rf.i386.rpm D: ... as /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.qQEt9n D: failed to open

with installed version 1.3.7 from rpmforge yum --allow-downgrade update rrdtool-1.2.30-1.el5.rf results in "no packages to update" yum --allow-downgrade install rrdtool-1.2.30-1.el5.rf says "already installed" So, how am I supposed to use --allow-downgrade then? I had to rpm -e --nodeps the newer packages to be able to install the older packages. Now I want to lock the

Just noticed that my munin installation stopped showing any data after the last "big" update. I installed a lot of updates for CentoS, but there was also a munin update coming from rpmforge. However, in yum.log there is no munin listed. But I'm sure I updated munin to 1.2.5-2.el5.rf as well. Does yum log only the centos repo's? The problem seems to be with the creation of

I installed postgrey from rpmforge and wanted to use sysconfig to change options instead of overwriting the init file. However, I get a weird warning from postgrey. I'm not sure if this is a postgrey quirk or I use sysconfig the wrong way. /etc/sysconfig/postgrey: OPTIONS="--unix=/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket --delay=660" /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgrey:

All of a sudden yum hangs on a Centos 4.5 (updated to the latest patch before 4.6) when I try to use it. "clean metadata" didn't help. The output of -d5 shows it gets to the point of "Reading Local RPMDB" and then sits there. The process doesn't die, but doesn't seem to do anything from that point on. strace shows this: futex(0xb76dcae8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL I

I have a local mirror of CentOS5 base and updates. Now with 5 having become 5.1 and in case I just want to keep on updating (at the moment) is it enough that I update the mirror of updates or do I also need an update of the base repo?

The new virtual machine manager in Centos 5.1 displays some weird behavior here and I assume it's because the UUID of one running VM is the same as of a VM that is shut down. I used the same config file template for creating all my test VMs, so several have the same UUID. Didn't produce any problems with xm. But the new VM manager in Gnome shows active and inactive VMs and identifies

I took over a custom firewall script from my older Suse machines to my Dom-Us and it works just fine. Doing the same for Dom-0 immediately killed all traffic for the VMs. As there was no need before I had been dropping everything on the FORWARD chain. After ACCEPTing all for FORWARD my VMs are happy again. What's best practice on Dom-0, what do you do? Can I restrict the forwarding, in

I want to try out fail2ban and notice that both, kbs-CentOS-Testing and ATrpms, have shorewall as a dependency. I do not use shorewall and have never used it. I have my own iptables/firewall script and am happy with it. Can I install shorewall without any ill effects to my current sue of iptables or would I need to use shorewall for firewalling from that point on? (It may be a good product,

We are serving the mp3s with .nsv endings since that is what the oddcast plugin seems to send by default when mp3 is

The installed php on CentOS/RHEL is the CGI version. This means I should be able to get command line arguments with $GLOBALS[''argv''] or $_SERVER[''argv'']. That''s how the php documentation tells and how it works f.i. on Suse. However, on CentOS I get them only when I use the -n switch to php (no php.ini). The problem with -n is that php cannot find

I usually don't setup any GUI on my Linux systems. Yesterday I installed with X and Gnome on a spare system for some testing and hit a problem. Right after login the system freezes. The system froze already earlier when I opted to test the sound card on the Welcome screen and when I login with the alternative login choice xterm and shut down it freezes when "saving mixer

I found that lm_sensors got installed because of a dependency on my first Xen VM that I updated to 5.3. lm_sensors doesn't make sense in a VM. I thought, ok let's check after the update who wants it. However: rpm -q --whatrequires lm_sensors no package requires lm_sensors (same for --triggeredby with lm_sensors or the packages below) Trying to remove lm_sensors reveals these packages:

I setup a kickstart file that contains only @core and several packages explicitely listed. postfix is listed, sendmail is not. And there's no package where I would think it needs cups. Nevertheless, after the install I now have postfix *and* sendmail on the machine and sendmail even being enabled. And cups is installed. How can I find out what forced them (and probably many other unwanted

Supposedly CentOS 5.1 should fix the problems with foreign keyboards, but I cannot see any change. The description in http://misterd77.blogspot.com/2007/11/xen-graphical-console-and-foreign.html does not work for me. Nothing changes. Has had anyone better luck? If so, how?

It seems that Xen VMs are subject to file system corruption under certain conditions. I find that often when I reboot or shutdown a VM the filesystem is corrupted after that and the VM no longer usable. The xm create then fails with some Python errors and an eventual Runtime Error: unable to read filesystem No handlers could be found for logger "xend". Error: boot loader didn't
