CentOS 5 :: Noob Q: <daemon_name> Dead But Subsys Locked?
Jul 7, 2010
but I think I have a reasonable handle on the /etc/init.d, /sbin/service, chkconfig, and runlevels stuff under CentOS. However, when I install particular daemons (not part of CentOS distro), I get a weird issue. If I log in as root and do /sbin/service <daemon> status, it says "... is running...", however, if I log in as a non su, and do the same /sbin/service ... status, it says "xxx dead but subsys locked." Is the daemon running or not? I assume it's some kind of privilege issue with how the daemon is setup versus the non root login.I would like to have users be able to use service to query daemon status as works with the base daemons like sshd and httpd.

I have centos 5.5 64bit installed. When I start the httpd service I get the above message. The message is bogus because the server is running and web pages work. Is there a fix out there to resolve this?

I've got a box with a fresh installation of CentOS 5.6, but had several configs copied from an old 4.8 box that I've now got to finish. Most everything seems fine, but I can't get apache running. It reports that it starts up fine, but immediately stops and reports "httpd dead but subsys locked"Most of the advice I've found while searching suggests to just delete the http.pid file and restart, which doesn't help in my case. I did find a few problems where SELinux was restricting httpd from creating or touching certain files (I found reports in /var/log/messages) but I've worked through that.
So the big question here is: /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/error_log are now empty, and don't show any more errors when I restart httpd. Does anyone know where else I can look for reporting/logging on what's happening to httpd to cause it to die?

I have cloned linux installation from USB drive to another. The system is Fedora core and it is used as a software for encoding live stream (it's using PCI encoding cards). The system works well on original hardware configuration, however when I use this cloned flash drive on another hardware configuration one service will not start. It is a "calld" service and it is a service which has a protection which limits its execution to original hardware platform only (mac authentication probably). I need to get this service up, so when I type command "service calld starts/tatus" or "etc/init.d/calld start" I get response "service is dead and subsystems are locked". I tried matching mac address to original hardware configuration but still the same. This is a config file of service /etc/init.d/calld
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/calld
#
# Starts the calld
#
# chkconfig: 345 44 56
# description: xxxxxx
# processname: calld
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: calld
# Required-Start: $syslog $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $syslog $local_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: start and stop calld
# Description: xxxxxx
### END INIT INFO
# Source function library.....
I wonder is it possible to get it up by changing its configuration.

I have installed fedora 13 recently and installed IDPS(snort) on it. But now I am not able to start service httpd. When I write service httpd start, it says OK, but I know it is a false message bcoz when I write service httpd stop it gives me Failed.
On writing service httpd status it gives a message:
httpd dead but subsys locked
I have tried "rm -f /var/lock/subsys/httpd" - no solution
yum update hasn't solved my problem as well.
I have to show my project running at my college. And I can not understand properly the technical instructions as I am new to linux.

We have a quad core Intel Xeon E 5410 processor running on recently installed centOS 5.5. Machine can't be pinged all of sudden and when we switch on the monitor, no signal on it, even no response on keyboard. We thought the problem accorded with abrupt temperature changes, is it so? But we have similar machines running efficiently under same temperature conditions.

For some reason, I can't seem to get the videocard to use the native resolution of any monitor I plug in, no matter what EDID information passes by the hardware. The hardware built into this server is a S3 Savage4 8MB. I tried to use the EDID info to create Modelines in xorg.conf, but it seems these get ignored outright Trying to reconfig with different drivers, the only ones that work (properly) appear to be VESA and SAVAGE (S3 and S3ViRGE didnt work). XRANDR wasn't much help either, it listed many short modes, maxing at 1024x768 Modes available:
1024x768
800x600
640x480
Monitor Modes of Monitors Tested available and in EDID, which CentOS/Xorg/whatever is ignoring:
Olevia 237-S11
Native Size: 1360x768
Resolution Maximum: 1920x1080 (downsample)
[code]...
All three of the monitors above, even with reconfigure and their best-bet drivers failed to offer anything but those three resolutions I listed above. Can anyone clarify for me if I'm missing something, or was the way the Savage driver coded that it is limited to 1024x768 maximum, regardless of panel and videocard capability?

I have a 10x2tb disk array that i'm trying to build into a single software raid 5 i have tried this 2 times now the first it made it to 58.7% and the machine locked up and the array would not restart after a reboot. On my 2nd try all was looking good until about 50% i noticed that the speed dropped in 1/2 and that ksoftirqd/2 is taking up a lot of cpu (about 90%) the md0_resync and md0_raid5 are also taking 60-90% when the build started they took 7%. when i do a dmesg i see a lot of the message compute_blocknr: map not correct.
For a little info on the physical setup this is running on an Atom 510 with 2GB of mem the drives are connected to an addonics 4-Port RAID 5 / JBOD SATA II PCI Controller using the sil3124 chipset. I'm using 2 addonics 5X1 SATA Port Multiplier connected to the controller to get the 10 drives attached. All drive show up and don't seem to have any issues. I'm running a fully updated as of 3/20/10 version of centos 5.4
I will let this continue to run over night but i expect it to be locked up by morning if it follows what the last attempt did.

Could someone give me some direction on how to use the IRC channels. I want to register an account, and i found the procedure documented here: URL..I see the commands i have to type, but i'm a little unclear where it needs to be typed.

Xchat keeps crashing on me every 5 minutes, not sure whats going on there.

I've been trying to get my GetNet 300 GN-621U USB wireless device working for a while now. When I first booted into my clean meerkat 64-bit install, both my wired and wireless were visible in network connections but neither could connect. I have since figured out what was wrong with the internal NIC and am happy to say i'm connected to the net, but need wireless to work. Having blacklisted the generic wireless driver, i see nothing anywhere that the device is on the system
My initial attempt led me down the route of installing ndisgtk for running the windows driver. I've since removed the driver/device from Windows Wireless Devices and have been trying to install the bona fide linux driver from getnet.

I have a Dell Mini Netbook, running Ubuntu 8.04 - "The Hardy Heron". Other than Skype and Chrome, I don't have any programs on my netbook that I didn't get from the "Add/Remove" program.For a long time now, I have been having an issue with my netbook where after being on for about 5 minutes, sometimes as long as 10 minutes, the system will star to freeze up, to the point where nothing works, not even the mouse. I know it's freezing and not locking because you can move the mouse a little bit, but it is too slow to be able to do anything, and normal processes that take seconds normally, will take upwards of 5 minutes. At least.
At one point I found and ran the Ubuntu-version of Task Manager, System Monitor. I sat and watched it for the 5 minutes it took for the freeze up started happening. RIGHT as the system froze up, both of the CPU's and the RAM maxed out at the same time.At this point, I would normally just go into Task Manager and see what shouldn't be running, and end whatever I see that I don't like, and then go delete the files for that program(s). Or at the very least, just system restore (because I ALWAYS have backups off the computer). But I don't know how to do any of that on Ubuntu.The netbook ran fine for almost 1 1/2years before this started happening, and at first it wasn't an issue that happened all the time. It happened every now and then, but restarting the netbook would fix it for a few days. And it slowly became an every week thing, then every day, and now every time the netbook turns on... which kinda sounds like a hardware issue, because software shouldn't change over time if there is no change put into it.
By the way, at the very least I'd like to know if there's a way to totally wipe and re-install my netbook from scratch. I don't need any of the files on it, so that's not an issue. Also I've heard that I might actually want to be using Xubuntu of I'm having a memory issue, so is there a way to replace Ubuntu altogether with this Xubuntu?

I am running a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 and vista. Anyway both systems are very healthy as far as I can see. I have a very fast internet connection at 50Mbs. Under vista I can pull around 4 - 5MBs where under Ubuntu I can only get about 350KBs. I have a single PC hard wired into a Netgear WNR3500 router/firewall. Anyway, I was wondering if there is anything I can do with my packet sizes or receive windows to help it along? I am only using a very small part of my available bandwidth obviously. Is there a kind soul here who could tell me how to optimize my internet connection in Lucid?

i belive its an x server issues or x windows issues or gnome. whats happeing is when you logg into the window manager gnome it will some time's freeze and then restart the whole computer without warning. somtimes it loads but it will start up with a red screen instead of gray or black with a the x cursor. and a square flashy mouse cursor that dosnt look liek a mouse cursor at all and when you move to any of the control bars it flashes the whole screen turns back to red and when you move off it goes back to normal. on top of it movies that require flash will pause, stop, not load after commercials, or just simply not work. it is 100% slower loading anything. programs such as deluge will open but stay white.

i have 2 hard drives with originally Win XP on one of them, and i thought it would be cool to have one with WinXP and the other one with Linux.so i choose Ubuntu. i just wished someone would have told me how Pro you really have to be for Linux.and that its totally not what i was looking for,...and apparently im a total Noob.so i Installed it, wasnt that hard, and first i thought what a cool OS ill keep it!than i tried Booting my Old OS *WinXP* from the other Harddisk (worked perfectly until than)/so Basically Ubuntu ****** up my WinXP because now i get the NTLDR Missing Error trying to start WinXP, that never happend before with that Pc.
i tought great now i have to reinstall Xp, but it came much worse,...i boot from the XP cd, and cant use the "normal" install funktion, because some errors say that i cant use the Partitions etc (no idea) up to cd reading errors,...so i wanted to try the Windows Repair console and easy Format C and D to get rid of Linux and reinstall a clean WinXP/
which OFC needs a stupid Admin Password, which i honestly NEVER have choosen.(i have no idea what the admin PW could be).than i made the big mistake of all, and tried to learn to Format anything with Linux,...20 stupid "tutorials" Later i still couldnt make it because im not that good with English and Linux,.
and all that programming speech, fdisk etc really is to complicated for me,...(i spent 1 hour finding where to enter the any command, because all tutorials ofc know that you ofc need the Terminal application,....half of the "how Tos: and Tutorials simply dont work because he doesnt know the Commands im entering probably Wrong, and and the other half is way to complicated for me to understand and requires knowledge i simply dont haveholy mother of god, i can tell you i never missed Windows so much,... right click, format done,... (again im not that good with Pcs)trying to get a windows admin pw is even more complicated than simply formating,... i guess.so now after aproxx 5 hours of trying to Format a hard drive under Linux i give up and came to you.
what i would need is simply a totally Idiotproove Manual to format Everything!
i have NO Idea how Linux works,.. so please if you could tell me step by step, just what to type or what buttons to press in this stupid Terminal,....i want the whole Pc clean again, so i never have to Suffer under Linux Pro"ness" again seriously its been a long time since i was so angry with my computer, and youre my last hopeand yes im very aware that im posting a kinda antiLinux thread in a Linux forum,

I had Ubuntu 10 installed for a long time, but rarely used it. Today, i decided to update from ubuntu 10 to 11.04 which took about 2 hours. After the update completed, my computer rebooted fine and i was enjoying ubuntu 11.04 without a problem. I decided that i should probably reset compiz to its default settings since there might be some sort of compatibility issues but once i did, all the task bars and icons glitched out and broke. i restarted again, and now i have no bars or anything. thanksfully i got a keyboard shortcut wallpaper and have been able to use the terminal to do things like open firefox and browse around although im not sure at all what could be wrong.
i used "compiz --replace" i think it was in the terminal, to no avail. aside from that, i have no idea what is even wrong so im having a hard time searching for solutions. im sure this issue is simple and im just retarded, so excuse my ignorance. thank you so much for any help, i've included a screenshot of what im seeing now incase i sound like a loony

I have been running happily on Knoppmyth R5F27 (on Debian GNU 4.0/Etch) for a good long time. Everything has been operating well. My kids get to record their Mythbusters. Life is good. Tonight, though, I tried to make things better. And that was the mistake.
I read that we could use our PS3 to watch videos on Hulu. But, I needed a kind of proxy server or something to mask that I was using the PS3 browser. So, I thought I would install squid on the myth box.
I first tried apt-get install squid But, that didn't quite work. So, at a friend's suggestion, I ran: apt-get update Which had problems, too. Still, being a noob, I reran the apt-get install squid and a bunch of stuff came down. It has problems, too.
So, I turned back to apt-get update and realized there was a problem in sources.list. I updated it to have a more current repository and received the update. Then I realized that the apt-get for squid was pulling down resources for lenny. I struggled trying to kill the install for Squid. Failed. And then rebooted just to see if I have problems.
And I do. Mythbackend won't start. The command to do so produces a segmentation fault. Ditto for mythfrontend and mythtv-setup. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me roll this back to a stable setup of Etch? If you want to see my (very messy) attempt to install squid and update the system you can look at[URL]..
