This is a dual boot, WinXP and CentOS 5 box. Thank you! I will install Picasa on my wife's box, when she's not using it. -- Lanny --------------------------------------------------------- Over 800 Magazine titles up to 85% off http://lowcostmagazines.com/

OT: RH 4/5 and 3Ware 9500 firmware upgrades
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

I've just noticed that 3Ware has a more current version of the firmware for the 9500S than I have on several machines. All of mine are running: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: Firmware FE9X 3.04.00.005, BIOS BE9X 3.04.00.002, Ports: 8. and the latest rev appears to be 3.08. I'm wondering if there is any compelling reason to upgrade or just let these sleeping dogs lie. :) Any sage (or other) advice would be much appreciated. Best,

I get the same md5sum as you do.

mdadm --stop
by Art Baldini 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I have been trying to delete an md. I have recently updated to version 1.12 of mdadm. I used to be able to do mdadm ,dev. --stop. It does not seem to be stopping, but I do not get any error and the $?/return code is 0. The --verbose option for mdadm does nothing for --stop. How do I determine why this is not successful? Thanks...Art

Then, after I added the Yum repository for Google, and still no joy, I went to the CentOS Wiki and I read about installing the rpmforge repository, which I have working properly. Then I searched for and found the key for Google and installed and verified it. My last attempt ended with the following: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: picasa i386 2.2.2820-5 google 21 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 21 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: picasa ######################### [1/1] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/picasa/lib/libfreetype.so;4730da7e: cpio: symlink Installed: picasa.i386 0:2.2.2820-5 Complete! [root@dell2400 ~]# So, it looks like there is a problem unpacking that file. I think SELinux is set to permissive on my box, so that should not be causing this problem. Ideas? If someone here doesn't have a solution, I will post in a google group. TIA! Lanny

This time, I was logged in as root. First, I downloaded the file to the Desktop. I double clicked on the Icon. Supposedly, the installation was successful, according to the Package Manager. Then, I moved the file to /tmp as Google suggests if there is a problem, and I tried to install it from a shell. Same thing. I got the below error. How did you install it? Are you using SELinux? Do you know if Picasa is available in a Yum repository, packaged for CentOS5? Since you have it running, I know it can be done.

Matt: I get the Digest edition. I came up with the above, before I read your reply online, and I have that key installed, but as you can see from my post previous to this one, installing the key did not solve the problem. Had I not come up with their key, your reply was dead on and is much appreciated! Thank you! Lanny
