CentOS 5 :: Yum Update Dep - Device-mapper-event Is Needed By Package: Lvm2
Sep 8, 2009
Trying to do a yum update to get everything to latest, towards the end it says this:
[Code]...
how to get around this? I tried yum clean all, then yum update, again but it did the same. I had other deps missing on other servers but yum clean all fixed them -- can't find anyone else who's had this specific issue either, nor an rpm called 'device-mapper-event' or the other things that are missing - am kinda stuck!
While i am using yum update am getting an error: Error: Missing Dependency: libgpod.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package rhythmbox-0.11.6-4.el5.x86_64 (installed).
Today, I try to update firefox by Package Updater but show error by bellow. "Missing Dependency: xulrunner >= 1.9.0.19-1 is needed by package firefox-3.0.19-1.el5.centos.x86_64 (CentOS5updates)"
I am trying to prevent the dm_mod and friends from loading during install.I am installing by PXE boot with NFS and kickstart files over http. This works fine for other machines.Ok, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 III with 8gig ram, PERC 6/i raid controller.The raid has 8 1TB drives in it, so the total size of the device is >2TB.There is also an SATA drive, which is NOT on the raid controller.
The problem is, I want to install CentOS on the SATA drive. The SATA drive comes up as a device-mapper drive, with a big crazy device name.This is ok, but the problem is, when the system goes to boot, it just says 'missing operating system'.I can't boot from the raid because it is large enough to require a GPT partition, and CentOS says it can't boot from a GPT partition.The SATA drive would work FINE if I could just prevent the damn device mapper from loading, so that I could install on the SATA drive in ordinary SATA mode.
I have tried re-squashing the stage2.img with /etc/modprobe.conf with alias dm_mod off and such, no luck.I also tried adding an /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file, that did not work either.I also tried putting blacklist= dm_mod in the kickstart file, but that seems to be a fedora-only option and it kills my install. any ideas on preventing the dm_mod et. al. from loading at install time??
when ever i try to install updates i get shown an error & the updates stop the error i get says "librpmio.so.0 is needed by package abrt-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 (updates) librpm.so.0 is needed by package abrt-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 (updates)"
I run many 5.2 virtual machines inside of VMWare ESX3.5 I've updated a couple of test VMs from 5.2 to 5.3. The thing that stands out is that during boot time, the sequence gets to this stage:
device-mapper: dm-raid45: intialized v0.2429 Waiting for driver initialization.
Here it takes about 3 times longer than the previous Centos 5.2 (about 9 seconds instead of 3). Whereas inside a physical box the wait in 5.3 is the same as it was in 5.2
I'm trying just a generic yum update to bring the machine up to date, I'm running into problems with two packages and their dependencies, kpartx and lvm2
I've removed any additional repositories, and performed a yum clean all
I think my problem comes down to device-mapper, it's asking for 1.02.32-1 to install lvm2 however if I run a yum list device-mapper it only shows 1.02.24-1.el5 as installed, and it is not marked for update. I've tried downloading the rpm directly, If i try to install the rpm with yum I'm told that there is nothing to do, if I try to install directly I run into problems with conflicts with the already installed package.
The kpartx seems dependent on device-mapper-multipath
Recently, I created a device sc0 through device mapper. The divice could be found in /dev/mapper/sc0. My problem is that the device doesn't exist in /dev/partitions which will block my following test.BTW, I found dm-0 in /dev/partitions. Is it the same as /dev/mapper/sc0? But the device /dev/dm-0 doesn't exist!
I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right section. But when i start the Package Updater it get's a (Error resolving dependencies). The Details in the error are: Missing Dependency: liblzo.so.1 is needed by package mplayer Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package lsdvd Missing Dependency: libcucul.so.0 is needed by package mplayer Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-ugly
What do i do? I'm thinking i have to get and install/download these package's but cant find them tried regular searching the web and using Yum. Cant find any of them to install to fix this issue.
I don't know if this is the right place to do this so I will try. I have noticed a lot of posts around the web with the same problems, so I guess this is something that is common, you think it would be fixed by now but anyways. Almost constantly when I try to install a new package with yum in my system it almost always gives me a dependency error, this is the latest one when I try to install HTOP:
Error: Missing Dependency: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by package htop Error: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by package htop
I'm trying to install Dell Openmanage, which requires sblim-sfcb.Normally this wouldn't be a problem but it requires LWP::UserAgent to be installed.However there are no RPMs for LWP::UserAgent. There are RPMs for perl-libwww-perl-5.805-1.1.1.noarch.rpm, which people say should work.However yum doesn't see anything with libwww as an option so that won't work either.Running CentOS 5.5
Note: I do have LWP::UserAgent installed via cpan, however the RPM won't compile without the actual LWP::UserAgent RPM installed.
Dell PowerEdge R610 with QLogic HBA card connected to HP EVA6000 SAN through a pair of switches.When I present space to the server, device mapper doesn't see it unless I restart the multipathd service. Same thing with unpresenting - the /dev/mapper/mpatha does not go away unless I restart multipathd.Here's what it looks like in 'multipath -ll' before and after I unpresent the LUN (without restarting multipathd)...
== BEFORE == # multipath -ll mpathb (3600508b40010716b0000900001a40000) dm-8 HP,HSV200
Slackware 13 Kernel 2.6.29.6 have three hard drives. Root is on own drive sda1. sdb and sdc are raid via mdadm with two partitions. one for /home raid0 md0 one for swap raid1 md1. md0 is encrypted vi cryptsetup. md1 is encrypted vi fstab. everything boots fine and is accessible. However, /dev/mapper/* shows sda1 as block device connected to the raid md0. swap crypted device is correct in /dev/mapper/*. fstab is set correctly. problem seems to be with initrd. I would like the correct device in /dev/mapper so that I can access drive info; size, available space, etc. now info shows only sda1 info
Greetings Fellow Knights Of The Penguin Clan....!I am having issues with device mapper seeing a 275GB Raid5 Lun from my SAN storage.I'm using IBM 2145 San Volume Controller.I am able to see a 40 GB Raid 10 device though..
I have a linux machine, attached to a fibre channel SAN.
We're in the testing phases and we're attempting to get all of the bugs worked out before this goes live.
If i have my host streaming data to the storage device on the san (or from the device on the san) and simulate a path failure (by shutting down one of the host's ports on the FC switch), multipath does not pick up on another path until about 45 seconds have passed.
I can verify this by watching the statistic graph (which updates once per second) on the storage system.
I see iops running along rather nicely, and then they drop to 0 for 45 seconds, then pick right up to normal again.
This is a RehHat EL 5.5 system, with qlogic HBA's.
Am i being too picky? I'd expect multipath to recover in under 30 seconds, so as to not alarm host applications running on the linux host... 45 seconds seems like a long time to wait for a disk operation to complete.
Any tips on tuning Multipath, or the qlogic card? As it is, i've got the following options in my modprobe.conf.
I'm having some difficulities with truecrypt and cannot figure out what's wrong since this is my first attempt to create hidden encrypted partition. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 64b with latest 6.3a truecrypt. After using truecrypt gui (just command truecrypt) I've tried: create volume-->create volumne within a partition/drive-->hidden trucrypt volume --> select some /dev/sdX by my choice --> select aes & sha512 --> password --> and format it.
when formating finished message "wrong ss, swith or wrong superblock of /dev/loop0" appeared. I've got no idea what could I do with it neither know whats program trying to do! Ok formating's done, then if you're trying to mount that partition then I would expect prompt for password, but that did not happen ...
EDIT: sudo mount /dev/loop0 /media/tmp/ also complaint about wrong superblock, but that does not ring any bell since i've got no idea what /dev/loop0 is or is for...
Anyone know how device-mapper works, or can someone point me to any docco (other than the man page)?
Couple years ago I wrote a TrueCrypt wrapper script for use on Puppy Linux, and am reworking it for Ubuntu. Puppy sometimes didn't have the 'dmsetup' device-mapper utility available, but TrueCrypt still works without this when the '-m nokernelcrypto' option is used.
My script notices when dmsetup is available and skips this option. When the TC volume gets mounted (somehow using dmsetup), the Desktop icon is labled with the leaf name of the /media/mount_point -- so far, so good.
However, if I force the script to add the no-kernel-crypto option, and the TC volume is mounted without using dmsetup, the Desktop icon ls labled with the size of the volume. Say what?
Running df shows the difference between the two mounts is whether /dev/mapper is used. So *how is* dmsetup making this happen? The manpage isn't much help. Is it just the 'rename' sub-command? I am unable to find any details about this mechanism.
I tried to update to Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.10, and I got a strange error like "Unable to calculate changes, package ubuntu-desktop is needed but not going to be installed". Then the sistem claimed to return back to the previous state, but now ALL the package are marked as "upgradable", and the Software Updater is suggesting me to do a "partial upgrade". What happened? How I can get back with a coherent system? I don't installed the xubuntu-desktop, BTW.
I've got an LVM2 VG containing 1 LV running on SLES11 SP1.
I have an entry in /etc/fstab to remount them at boot:
Code: /dev/myVG/ibmLV /opt/IBM ext3 defaults 0 0 Whenever I reboot the whole VG disappears and I find the following in /var/log/boot.msg: Code: <notice -- Apr 15 12:35:55.954677000> boot.localfs start Waiting for /dev/myVG/ibmLV . no more events
Currently using a USB mouse, keyboard and the USB touch input from an Elo touchscreen connected to a Raspberry Pi (using the Raspbian flavor of Debian) through a USB hub and when I query the content of the directory /dev/input/ I get 4 "events" with each event designation associated with one of the input devices (the 4th one never seems to be active??).
If I examine an "event" characteristics using the linux utility "evtest" - example "event0" , I "might" get:
pi@raspberrypi /dev/input $ evtest event0 Input driver version is 1.0.1 Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x4e7 product 0x20 version 0x100 Input device name: "Elo TouchSystems, Inc. Elo TouchSystems 2700 IntelliTouch(r) USB Touchmonitor Interface"
[Code] ....
which is the Elo touchscreen.
But if I reboot the Raspberry Pi - I can also get for an evtest of "event0":
pi@raspberrypi /dev/input $ evtest event0 Input driver version is 1.0.1 Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x413c product 0x3010 version 0x100 Input device name: "HID 413c:3010"
[Code] ....
which is the USB mouse.....
It appears as if the assignment of the "eventX" identifiers (i.e. the "X") is arbitrary and it can vary with each reboot... which is problematic as I need to identify which "device" will provide the touch events for openframeworks. Is there a way to assign a specific device to a specific "eventX" designation ???
I'm trying to install Alsa Player in my CentOS 5.2 using add/remove software. I get the following error:
Missing Dependency: libsndfile.so.1(libsndfile.so.1.0) is needed by package alsaplayer Missing Dependency: libjack.so.0 is needed by package alsaplayer Missing Dependency: libFLAC.so.8 is needed by package alsaplayer Missing Dependency: libsndfile.so.1 is needed by package alsaplayer Missing Dependency: libxosd.so.2 is needed by package alsaplayer Missing Dependency: libid3tag.so.0 is needed by package alsaplayer Missing Dependency: libmad.so.0 is needed by package alsaplayer
When I try to search the depencies using yum (yum search libsndfile), the result is : No Matches found.
I am using CentOS 5.2. I am installing from disc on a machine with Intel Embedded Server Raid Technology. It has two 500 GB SATA drives. During the initial boot process, it sees that these two devices exist. However, after getting into the screen to partition and configure RAID, it just shows this:
Drive /dev/mapper/ddf1_MegaSR R! #0 (475879 MB) (Model: Linux device-mapper)
I want to do a RAID1 so that the disks are mirrored. However, I would expect to see both drives listed. I can select RAID to create RAID partitions, but I think I need to be able to see both drives in order to do this correctly.
I am trying to setup a H/W RAID-1 matrix but I am unsuccessful. I am trying to get partitions installed as /dev/md0, /dev/md1 but it keeps going for /dev/mapper/isw...The reason is that I have R1Soft backup and it needs to hook the partitions as seen in /proc/partitions from /dev not /dev/mapper/isw. I have tried to boot the installation with various options but nothing!
I need an update on the ndiswrapper sottware package. Previously, when I totally rebuilt my laptop, I was able to find and install the ndiswrapper RPM from somewhere using the Add/Remove software tool provided in CenTOS 4.x - it worked great! The last time I used this was about a year ago - probably Dec 09.I am currently rebuilding my laptop and anticipated be able to find and install the ndiswrappper as before. My current search doesn't find it! Did I miss something here? Is there a server down - or possiblly is this just no longer available using the Add/Remove tool?
From what I have read so far, I have to remove glib-0.7.0-0.9.3 far I have not found how to remove this package. the first section is the error the second is how I found two network mangers installed.NetworkManager = 1:0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9 is needed by package 1:NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.i386
