https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514046
Summary: Oracle-xe page for Spacewalk doesn't work
Product: Fedora Hosted Projects
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: Deployment_Guide
AssignedTo: mhideo(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: mschwage(a)gmail.com
QAContact: rlerch(a)redhat.com
CC: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Sorry about the classification of this. I didn't see Spacewalk anywhere in
Bugzilla! Anyway, on the webpage
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OracleXeSetup#Install, the install
instructions don't work as advertised. There, it says
"Configure the Oracle XE database by running
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure"
This did not set the system/sys name correctly. Yes, I know, the oracle-xe
command comes from Oracle themselves, but on my RHEL53 machine it just refused
to set the password correctly. Did I try to do it 10 times or more? Yes I
did, and it did not work at all. Did I fat finger my password every single
lousy time I tried it? No I did not, for I was able to create my password as
easy as you please using my workaround below.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4-1
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.4-1
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do this on RHEL53 x86_64. Install the Oracle-XE software as listed.
2. Follow the instructions on
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OracleXeSetup#Install, up to and
including the "Test Your Connection with SQLPlus" part.
3. You fail to login.
Actual results:
Fail to login.
Expected results:
Successful login.
Additional info:
The workaround is to perform the following after running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe
configure :
su - oracle
. /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh
/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client64/bin/sqlplus /NOLOG
CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
alter user sys identified by password;
alter user system identified by password;
sqlplus64 'sys@xe as sysdba'

RPM Guide and RPM Max
by John J. McDonough
At FUDcon, Florian Festi approached me about Docs updating the RPM Guide and
the book, Maximum RPM, both of which have gotten a little stale. The RPM
Guide was already on our radar, and Ben Cotton has taken point on getting
that ready to be worked on.
Maximum RPM is currently hosted at rpm.org, and does not appear to have been
built with the old doc tools. There seem to be some specific dependencies
on Fedora 8, so there will be a little work converting it to something more
up to date.
The other issue, though, is licensing. This probably won't be difficult to
deal with but it is something that needs to be addressed. The current
copyright holder is Red Hat.
We will probably discuss this at an upcoming Docs Team meeting, but I did
want to give everyone a heads-up that this is going on. We may also want to
carry on some discussion on an rpm.org mailing list so that community is
also aware of the effort.
At this point not much has actually happened. Ben has moved the RPM Guide
to git, but I don't think anything else has happened there, I have looked at
the Maximum RPM sources and verified Florian's assessment that this isn't a
straightforward build, and quaid is aware of the licensing issues.
The RPM Guide is at:
git.fedoraproject.org/rpmguide.git
Maximum RPM is at
rpm.org/git/max-rpm.git

New docs project - Fedora Virtualization Guide
by Chris Curran
As King Leonidas, also the codename for Fedora 11, said in the movie
300: "This is Sparta!" so it is that "This is Fedora!". Today, Fedora
grows by one more project as a new Virtualization Guide joins the
CC-BY-SA licensed works within the mighty docs project.
Presently, the Virtualization Guide is not ready for the prime time
spotlight (much as detractors say virtualization is not ready for
production). Fear not, for I shall slave until it delivers and provides
quality virtualization documentation for Fedora. It may not be Year of
the Linux Desktop yet, but it will be Year of Linux Virtualization with
your assistance.
Some translations are included.
To get involved visit the friendly wiki:
https://fedorahosted.org/Virtualization_Guide/ or send me an email/IRC ping.
Have fun now,
Chris

I realize the formatting of these emails is not pretty if your email
reader uses a proportional font. The mail archives are worse, for
example
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-September/msg00082...
Right now I'm using a simple python script to parse and add spaces to a
CSV file created by TaskJuggler. Let me know if there are any ideas for
fixing this.
Thanks,

1st Draft: Package Management with RPM Update
by Douglas Silas
The first draft of the Package Management with RPM chapter is
complete and ready to be reviewed here:
http://dsilas.fedorapeople.org/Deployment_Guide/en-US/html-single/#ch-rpm
All comments/notes/suggestions welcome!
I've got a rough draft of the PackageKit (Graphical Package
Management) chapter (will capture better screens tomorrow) and a
start on the YUM chapter, and hope to have first drafts of those
ready to review tomorrow.
That will complete the update for Part I of the Deployment Guide.
In addition, I've received lots of material to incorporate into the
Automated Tasks chapter of the Deployment Guide, which details
cronie (i.e. anacron).
Also, the BIND chapters have a technical reviewer and the update is
under way.
More details tomorrow.
Cheers,
