More update problems
by Paul F. Johnson 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi, Trying to update from yum and currently, OpenOffice.org-i18n is causing a pile of conflicts with the last version and python-devel is not picked up when doing the yum update. TTFN Paul -- "Look.

more vanishing binaries
by Michal Jaegermann 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

It seems that in recent time something ate some files from i386 rawhide rpms. I looked at few mirrors and everywhere the situation is the same. This does not look like a fam -> gamin switch because missing binaries are still in use and various associated "devel" binaries and x86_64 equivalents are still there. Here is a list of what I noticed: qt-3.3.2-10.i386.rpm pcre-4.5-3.i386.rpm libxslt-1.1.8-1.i386.rpm libvorbis-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm libogg-1.1-3.i386.rpm libmng-1.0.7-4.i386.rpm libgpg-error-0.7-2.i386.rpm libgcrypt-1.2.0-3.i386.rpm arts-1.2.3-3.i386.rpm Michal

Openoffice Installation Failure?
by Mike Klinke 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Did anyone else have a failed openoffice installation? When I attempt to run "oo" components I get the following error at the command line: Installation of OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 failed: 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ooo-1.1:/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf -v -nogui > ~/.openoffice-install-log 2>&1' This is a mostly vanilla "Workstation" install of FC3T1 followed by an initial update of 300+ packages from the one of the development mirrors yesterday morning. The /root/.openoffice-install-log referenced above contains: # cat .openoffice-install-log /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup: line 159: syntax error near unexpected token `else' /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup: line 159: ` else' Regards, Mike Klinke

what is eating dircolors?
by Michal Jaegermann 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I failed to notice when precisely this happened but most likely as a side effect of recent updates (and this is not include 'dircolors', i.e. coreutils package which was installed on the box in question on Sat 17 Jul 2004). The gist of the problem is that if you are in X and in terminal window you type 'dircolors --sh', or 'dircolors --sh /etc/DIR_COLORS', or similar then an output is LS_COLORS=''; export LS_COLORS but if you do that on a console then you will get what you expect. I tried 'gnome-terminal' and 'xterm' so this does not seem to be an "improvement" in 'gnome-terminal'. This is actually quite painful because if you do now 'ssh some.other.machine' then you will get the same deal. In /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh you will find a code which says: eval `dircolors --sh "$COLORS"` [ -z "$LS_COLORS" ] && return so these aliases: alias ll='ls -l --color=tty' 2>/dev/null alias l.='ls -d .* --color=tty' 2>/dev/null alias ls='ls --color=tty' 2>/dev/null are never defined so depending on if you logged from an "older" Linux machine and/or from a console or a terminal window you are getting an enviroment which looks and behaves differently. I would hate trying to explain that to my users. I would file a bug but I am not really sure what is really responsible for that "great feature". So far I failed to notice where this may be even documented but something tells me that TERM=gnome may be responsible. If this is really the case then alias dircolors='TERM=xterm \dircolors' all over the place would work around that but this still does nothing to older Linux hosts where you may want to login unless you do that there as well. '[ "$TERM" = gnome ] && export TERM=xterm' seems like a more radical solution. Hm, maybe in an alias for ssh, with a TERM replacement like above, instead. OTOH 'dircolors' documentation does not mention anything that its output may be TERM dependent. Another bug? Michal

[Fwd: ext3 filesystem corruption with Fedora Core 2, Test 3 with latest 2.6.6.x kernel]
by Amit D. Chaudhary 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Resent to fedora-test as recommended. Amit -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ext3 filesystem corruption with Fedora Core 2, Test 3 with latest 2.6.6.x kernel Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 18:11:55 -0700 From: Amit D. Chaudhary <amit_ml(a)comcast.net> To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com, linux-kernel(a)vger.kernel.org What happened: I got filesystem corrupted yesterday when using a Fedora Core 3, Test 3 with linux kernel 2.6.6-1.435. The filesystems were /boot and /, particularly files under /bin were missing including /bin/sh, /etc/fstab, etc. kernel images, and other files under /boot had disappeared. Setup: The desktop is a HP with a P3 700 with 512 MB RAM, 2 HDD, this happenned on ide0 (hda1 and hda3) The ext3 filesystems had the default journaling mode. How I ran into it: I ran vncserver from one of the mingetty (text) consoles, I am still trying it out and used an incorrect xstartup. Anyways, I did not connect to vnc, decided to log onto another mingetty (CTRL+ALT+2), this took the login name and hung. Now the computer went into a hard hang (No Oops, CTRL+ALT+DEL, etc did not work.) On a reboot using grub directly went into Windows (it is a dual boot system). Using the rescue disk, I noticed, since it did not mount /dev/hda1 as /boot, the old /boot was being effective and suprisingly did not have a link entry. I have reinstalled the OS, so no direct help is needed. Thought should email it to the list for information and if someone knows which release this happens in and is there a fix to it. Thanks Amit

PHP & MySQL under FC2 (and FC3t1)
by Paul F. Johnson 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi, I'm having all hecks worth of problems trying to get php to talk to mysql under Fedora Core. I have the php-mysql rpm installed... I have altered the /etc/php.ini file to include the line extension=mysql.so and have altered the httpd.conf file to include LoadModule mysql_auth_module modules/mod_auth_mysql.so Alias /phpBB2 /web/phpBB2 <Directory /web/phpBB2> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml Options Indexes +Includes FollowSymLinks order deny,allow deny from all allow from all </Directory> <Files /web/phpBB2/config.php> order deny,allow deny from all </Files> So everything should be happy. However, it's not working. httpd starts happily. What do I need to do to get php to talk to mysql? I need to get phpBB2 set up and running PDQ! TTFN Paul -- "Look.

Apache/mysql/php problem
by Paul F. Johnson 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi, I'm trying to set up phpBB2 on my laptop (as an exercise). I have FC3t1 installed with the version of httpd supplied by Fedora. mysql is installed and mod_mysql_auth is called from httpd.conf When I fill in the details on the install.php page and then click on the install button, I get the error "The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose" I have mysql3.23 installed Any ideas what could be causing this?

vanishing fam-2.6.10-11
by Michal Jaegermann 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Accidentally I noticed that 'fam' disappeared (likely) from all mirrors. Last time I looked there was something like http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/f… but if you would try to retrieve that you would get "404: Page not found" instead. No recompiled binaries in "development". At least the current nautilus version depends on fam so, unless some deep nautilus rewrite is coming, that vanishing act seem to be a result of some hiccup.

It looks like crond was updated on 26 July. Bob...
