It turns out that if you specify filesystem type `auto' in /etc/fstab, updatedb (the thing which updates your `locate' database) ceases to work. Here's the contents of my /etc/updatedb.conf: PRUNEFS="devpts NFS nfs afs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660" PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /net" export PRUNEFS export PRUNEPATHS deleting the `auto' entry

I updated my x86 machine day before yesterday, and I noticed two things. The clamav user and group was deleted, and not recreated, and when the makewhatis ran, I got a page full of "zcat: stdout: Broken pipe" entries. What gives with the makewhatis and clamav? Was clamav removed from the software? I encountered no errors when the transaction check and transactions were run.

After you do your update, done forget to do updatedb, makewhatis, ... The locate for rpmnew has a couple items of interest and the locate for rpmsave returns one that occupies 24MB of your precious disks - /var/lib/Pegasus/prev-repository*. It compresses nicely to appx. 1MB, cpio bzipped --best. Change in your rndc key too, for DNS.

I'm attempting to install RequestTracker on CentOS 6.5. Running "make testdeps" as recommended by RT's installation guide, I'm presented with lists of missing Perl modules. One of these lines reads: Encode >= 2.39 ...MISSING Now, "yum whatprovides '*/Encode.pm' " informs me that that module is part of the core Perl distribution, and is

I just tried an install from my local repo (boot from CD 1, use http method), and it failed right after entering the root password setting with: Unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree. Reboot So now what? Is there something I can just extract from the isos? (remember I did that rsync). Is this caused by running

Hi all, I used to use centos 4.5 on an AMD 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Now I use centos 5.1 on AMD 6400+ with 4GIG RAM. The system responsiveness is different between the two. I noticed that centos 5.1 seems to be swapping programs out of memory at times resulting in slowness (perceived by me). I played with swappiness (/proc/sys/vm/) setting to 10, then 1 then 0. Still resulted in the same perceived

Just looked at the log from the x86_64 machine and I see the same zcat: stdout: Broken pipe in the 00-makewhatis.cron job as on the x86 machine. Did I miss some thread about current updates somewhere? sam -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net NOAA Cooperative Observer http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet

Hello, I am having a serious problem with clients that are connecting to our Mandrake 8.1 server that is using the Samba 2.2.2 RPM. After a few days of having the computers on they will start to take up 200M of ram as reported by top. I don't have this problem with any of the other clients, Win2k, ME, 98 or 95. Is there a setting I need to change on the client side? The only way to

Hi All; Which is better (to have more stable or release versions) of zaptel, libpri and asterisk: to use cvs or svn? In case of using cvs, why I need to type: export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs:anoncvs at cvs.digium.com:/usr/cvsroot In other words: what is the use of pserver, anoncvs, ... with cvs checkout? Note: How can I know all the variables needed for cvs checkout so I might need to do

Hi, I've successfully compiled flac-1.1.2 to transcode flac to wav with twonkyvision running on a DNS-323 which has a ARM-processor. The problem is that from time to time something hangs. Therefore I have tried to compile the newest flac, flac-1.2.1, and it compiles with no problems but when running it, for example "flac -t test.flac", it only echos "Illegal

Hello, I have recently found a number of FLAC files that have a PICTURE block as the first metadata block in the file. From the format documentation, it mentions that the STREAMINFO block must be present as the first block. I'm guessing that someone somewhere is not playing nicely with the format, but I just wanted to confirm that this is incorrect so that I can fix the files if they

This may or may not be CentOS related, but am out of ideas at this point and wanted to bounce this off the list. I'm running a CentOS 5.5 server, running the latest kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5. Almost everyday around 3:30 AM the server completely locks up and has to be power cycled before it will come back online. (this means someone hat to wake up and reboot the server, oh how I love being

Hi all, sorry for being OT but would any of you recommend a ticketing system? We'd like something pretty comprehensive to cover helpdesk and HR stuff as well as software bugs/requests. There seems to be a million variations out there.
