missing fonts for centos 4?
by Joe Pruett 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

there seem to be very few iso8859-1 (latin-1) fonts. in particular the lucidatypewriter fonts aren't there for 8859-1. but it does have 8859-2. just playing with xfontsel i see about 800 8859-1 fonts and 2000 8859-2. did something get left out? i did an everything install. and further poking with yum doesn't show any other font packages that could be installed. # yum list all fonts\* Setting up Repos base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 contrib 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files base : ################################################## 1407/1407 updates : ################################################## 9/9 extras : ################################################## 24/24 Installed Packages fonts-ISO8859-2.noarch 1.0-13 installed fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi.noarch 1.0-13 installed fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi.noarch 1.0-13 installed fonts-KOI8-R.noarch 1.0-7 installed fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi.noarch 1.0-7 installed fonts-KOI8-R-75dpi.noarch 1.0-7 installed fonts-arabic.noarch 1.5-3 installed fonts-bengali.noarch 0.1-3 installed fonts-hebrew.noarch 0.100-4 installed fonts-ja.noarch 8.0-16 installed fonts-xorg-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-14-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-14-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-15-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-15-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-2-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-2-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-9-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-9-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-base.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-cyrillic.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-syriac.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-truetype.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed

Oracle Driver for Linux?
by Michael Best 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

I have a Zope + DCOracle2 setup, and I was thinking of moving to Zope + eGenix ODBC (which will use unixODBC) however that still leaves me lacking a driver to connect this to the Oracle server. There are a number of variously priced commercial drivers out there like EasySoft, Merant, OpenLink, etc. Someone built upon a previous open source EasySoft driver: http://fndapl.fnal.gov/~dbox/oracle/odbc/ Anyone have any suggestions/experience? -Mike

keepalived on centos 3.4
by Joe Sauer 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Is anyone successfully using dag's keepalived-1.1.10-1.1.el3.rf on centos 3.4? It's giving me some strange issues (LVS Topology never shows up, even though I can manually set it w/ ipvsadm) Attempting to rebuild it has been less than successful, as anyone who tries will see in their appropriate BUILD/keepalived-1.1.10/config.log and in the rpmbuild output. It complains about openssl and kssl.h... (see bellow) However, I have the latest openssl-devel and krb5-devel rpms installed. Before I spend any more time on this. I'd love to know if anyone is actually successfully using it, has rebuild it or it's just me....

Upgrading FC2 -> Centos4RC1 (possible, but messy)
by Michael Best 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

This was my experience with upgrading, your mileage may vary especially if it's in kilometers. This is what I had to do to get my system running again. ############## In order to attempt this upgrade, I had to use "linux upgradeany", a mode not listed for the installer CDs. My first problem was I could no longer boot the system after the upgrade. My grub menu showed my old FC2 kernel, Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.14_FC2), but not the kernel for Centos. Trying to boot this FC2 kernel it froze after "Enabling swap space:" * Boot up the "linux rescue", chroot /mnt/sysimage * used lynx to download kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm * rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm warning: kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4fe06303 error: failed to stat /dev/shm: No such file or directory Preparing... ################################################## package kernel-2.6.10-1.14_FC2 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.9-5.EL) is already installed * rpm -ivh --old-package kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm warning: kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4fe06303 error: failed to stat /dev/shm: No such file or directory Preparing... ################################################## error: %pre(kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping kernel-2.6.9-5.EL * rpm2cpio kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories * mv boot/* /boot/ * mv lib/modules/* /lib/modules/ * depmod -a * mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.EL 2.6.9-5.EL * edit /etc/grub.conf an add in this kernel * rebooted into the Centos-4 system at this point just need to do some finishing work to get things started * fedora-release-2-4.i386 wasn't upgraded to centos-release * yum wouldn't run as the fedora release version was 2 cp /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.conf.old cp /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew /etc/yum.conf wget http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.0beta/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/centos-release-4.… rpm -e --nodeps fedora-release rpm -ivh centos-release-4.0beta-5.i386.rpm rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4.0beta yum clean all rpm -e --nodeps $(rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep FC2) yum install kernel (or rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm) yum update -Mike

Oracle Apps on Linux
by Joao Medeiros 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Hi folks, I seem to remember someone asking how to install Oracle Apps on Linux so here goes a quick and dirty how-to:- 0 - You will need access to Metalink (Oracle's support site) for downloading patches and read documentation on line. 1 - Size up your Linux box to at least 1Gb memory and 200Gb of disk space. I'm assuming you have a Pentium 4 at around 3GHz. 2 - Download and install if not already installed compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.126. Fedora Core 3 doesn't come with it but you can get it from Fedora Core 2. WBEL and CentOS should have it installed by default. 3 - Download the latest version of Oracle Applications from edelivery.oracle.com. Latest release available is 11.5.10 and comes in 46 zip files totalling a 25Gb. It expands to about the same size since there's a lot of compressed files in it. 4 - Create a new group called dba. Create a new user called oracle and assign dba as the primary group. 5 - Log in as oracle and edit the .bash_profile to add the variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19. Make sure you export it. 6 - Start unloading the zip files and make sure you follow the instructions from Oracle so that they end up in a nice tree under /Stage11i. Review the Installation guide. 7 - Rename the /usr/bin/unzip to whatever you want to call it and copy the unzip from /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/unzip/Linux. 8 - Change to /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz and execute RapidWizVersion. If it is not 11.5.10.33 you will need to download patch 4132885 from Metalink. Unzip the files under /Stage11i/startCD as it will overwrite the contents of Disk1. 9 - Download patch 3006854 from Metalink to fix an OS library problem. 10 - Start your installation by running /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/rapidwiz. Choose single box installation. 11 - Review the log file for any errors. Fix if required. 12 - If you're using an SQL Client from outside the Linux box you will need to comment some lines in your $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/SID_Servername/sqlnet.ora file (replace SID with your chosen SID, mine is PROD, default is VIS) and (replace Servername with your hostname). Look for the lines with tcp.validnode_checking and tcp.invited_nodes; put a '#' in the beginning. Restart your listener. 13 - Open your browser and point it to http://yourservername.yourdomainname:8000. Log in as operations/welcome and start hacking away :-) Let me know if you're stuck with anything and I'll do what I can to help. Cheers, Joao Note ---- Oracle Apps forms in a browser is currently only supported on Netscape 4.7.xx and IE6 although it can be put to work with Firefox.

Slow logout from gnome
by John Newbigin 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but on a number of CentOS-3 boxes I had a problem when you log out from X/Gnome it would take ages (> 1 min) to log out. Saving the session made it quicker for the next logout, but the culprit appears to be the rhn-applet. Uninstall that rpm and problem solved.
