OpenOffice.org with Java Enabled
by Johnny Hughes 11 May '04

11 May '04

I am currently building the latest SRPM of openoffice.org with java enabled (using Sun Java SDK version j2dk1.4.2_04-b05). If it builds, is anyone else interested in having the binary and source RPMS? If there is an interest, maybe we can get it into the contrib section of the CentOS mirrors. After it builds, I can verify the requirements ... but I think the only extra thing required will be the latest Sun Java Runtime Environment (at least j2re1.4.2_04) installed. Thanks Johnny Hughes

OpenOffice.org bug in version openoffice.org-1.1.0-15.EL
by Johnny Hughes 10 May '04

10 May '04

All, There is a bug in OpenOffice.org in version openoffice.org-1.1.0-15.EL where the help file doesn't open if you select help. Here is the bug and the fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122263 Basically, edit the file /usr/bin/ooffice and find <value>'$lang'</value> then replace it with <value>$lang</value>. I have tested this on both CentOS and WhiteBox Enterprise Linux and the fix works. This error has been corrected in FedoraCore with version openoffice.org-1.1.0-16. Supposedly to be released soon for RHEL...but if you can't wait, fix it now. -Johnny Hughes

What's the best way to install/update: * Gnome from 2.2 to 2.6 * Mozilla to Firefox They are not in the yum packages. It would be great if they would, or is there a yum repository with it. -- Thanks syv(a)911networks.com When the network has to work

Newbie Questions - Yum, etc.
by Peter J. Mignone 06 May '04

06 May '04

Hi All: My name is Peter J. Mignone and I have a little Linux experience. From what I have read about CentOS, it appears very interesting so I am trying it out. I get a header.info error when I tried yum which I have never used. How do you set up yum? Where do you point it, etc.? If my understanding is correct about the licensing, I should turn off anything pertaining to the Red Hat Network. Is there anything else that should be removed? Is there any restrictions on rpm for Red Hat enterprise. In other words, If I find a rpm on say rpmfind.net for red hat could it be used? Thank You! -- Pete

How quickly are RHEL errata released as CentOS errata ?
by Taco Scargo 06 May '04

06 May '04

Hi, I am deciding on what 'RHEL clone' to use and prefer to use one that has a quick release after RedHat releases an update. I checked the repositories, but have not encountered any of the latest errata. Am I looking at the wrong place ? Thanks, Taco

RE: Via Mini-itx anaconda install failure
by Sorisio, Chris 05 May '04

Same behavior here with our mini-ITX/EDEN system. The install tool unceremoniously exits stating that the system is not supported. RH9 installs fine on the same computer. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Rodgers [mailto:hwstar@rodgers.sdcoxmail.com] Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 5:32 PM To: sentos(a)caosity.org Subject: Via Mini-itx anaconda install failure Hello, Does anyone know if Centos 3.1 has a problem installing on a Via 800Mhz Mini-ITX system with a EDEN processor? I can't seem to get past the entry of the root password in Anaconda. I get a message saying that CentOS can't be installed on this system. Is this because it cant figure out which kernel to install?

MySQL 4.0.18 RPM
by Sorisio, Chris 05 May '04

05 May '04

I recently needed MySQL 4.0 for some project work, and compiled RPMs from the MySQL 4.0.18 SRPM off their website. Would there be any interest in making these binary RPM's available or are they already out there for us?

Install of 3.1 aborts
by c.xxx＠gmx.net 03 May '04

03 May '04

Hello everybody, yes I did check the installation medium (dvd), so that's not the problem. My system only contains components which are accepted by the redhat hardware compatibiliy list. But anaconda fails, announcing: You are trying to install on a machne which isn't supported by this release of CentOS-3 The error message stems from this part of anaconda code in packages.py: # this is a crappy hack, but I don't want bug reports from these people if (iutil.getArch() == "i386") and (not grpset.hdrlist.has_key("kernel")): intf.messageWindow(_("Error"), _("You are trying to install on a machine " "which isn't supported by this release of " "%s.") %(productName,), type="custom", custom_icon="error", custom_buttons=[_("_Exit")]) sys.exit(0) Is this as it should be????????????????? And what does it mean? Thanks in advance Chris
