A Working 64 bit Browser Plugin - at Last!!
by Ben Mohilef 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

FYI: Upon installing 64 bit firefox on RHEL 5/Centos5/SAL5 , the first problem everyone seems to complain about is no working java plugin. A patched plugin from the <discontinued> Blackdown Project was available, but it was written against the vulnerable JRE 1.4.2. I too gave up on this until I discovered Red Hat's "iced tea" project. The latest incantation for Fedora Core 8 loaded well on a RHEL5 box using rpm's: java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0-0.19.b21.snapshot.fc8.x86_64.rpm java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin-1.7.0.0-0.19.b21.snapshot.fc8.x86_64.rpm tzdata-java-2007h-1.fc8.noarch.rpm Then do: alternatives --config java and select the new 1.7 JRE. Usually FC8 stuff doesn't install well on RHEL5/Centos5/SAL5 boxes. However, these worked like a charm SO FAR. [ Note, if you try these, uninstall all of your firefox extensions first because some of them have the potential to create the infamous XBL error message for non-root users]. After installation, navigate to Sun's java site and test using their applets to make sure you installed correctly. YMMV. May cause loss of some functionality elsewhere in the system. If you browse for more then four continuous hours you may have contracted site fixation disease, contact your physician at once. regards, benm

Hi all, I have a little trouble with mrepo: yum groups doesn't seem to be setup correctly; if I do "yum grouplist" it only gives me Installed Groups: Yum Utilities Available Groups: FreeNX and NX XFCE-4.4 Horde Did I forget something on the mrepo.conf or similar? tia Lorenzo Quatrini

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,

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
