Rekall/mysql -
by bobgoodwin 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

I would like to try "rekall" but it appears KDE is required and I get an error message "KCrash: Application 'rekall' crashing... Unable to start Dr. Konqi." I haven't been able to find the missing application, but even then there would probably be more. And although I prefer to use xfce it would be interesting to try KDE. My question is how should I go about installing KDE from the FC4 cdroms without being presented with numerous missing dependencies. Thank you. Bob Goodwin Zuni, Virginia

Broken OO2 update
by Dotan Cohen 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

While in the middle of a yum update last night, someone who loves me closed the terminla window. Now, when I open Open Office, I still have version 1, but in the about field, it says version 2.0! What should I do? Can I just uninstall OO and then reinstall via yum? I tried the command (I am not proficient at yum) "yum openoffice uninstall" but that didn't do it.

Re: where are the x86_64 builds of OOo 2.0?

|| Will there be x86_64 builds of OOo? || What exactly is the problem? | The OOo codebase was not written with | x86_64 in mind, so there's a lot of | cleaning up to do before it compiles and | runs cleanly. It's possible to build it | nowadays, but it's not fully tested and | fixed afaik. Well, I'm disappointed; I thought that one of the goals of OOo 2.0 was to make it 64-bit ready. As it stands now, my system has over 200MB of i386 cruft that that is required because of OOo dependencies. [Of course, the fact that OOo is over 300MB on its own doesn't help matters.] ix86_package_sizes=$(rpm -qa --qf "%{ARCH} %{SIZE}\n" | grep ^i.86 | cut -b 6-) j=0; for i in $ix86_package_sizes; do j=$[j+i]; done; echo $j If I run the above bash script, I get 520870004 bytes; subtracting the 314251504 bytes in the OOo package gives a difference of about 200MB. I guess this is an upstream problem? Is this something that the Fedora OOo maintainer can comment on? It is working, so I won't complain too vigorously, but I wouldn't mind having that 200MB for something else ...

Fortunately the "main menu" button will usually help skip over these. Many DVD's also come with short documentaries about how the movie was made which makes the menu a useful. Also scene selection helps since many DVD players do not let you take the disk out, put it in later, and pick up where you left off. (The old VCR technology did have some good points.) Just my 2 cents worth. Bob Styma

strange bind dns resolve problem after firewall reboot
by Götz Reinicke 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Hi, we have two linux servers, one RHEL4 as a Internetgateway, a second still running FC1 for DNS. Usualy everything is running fine, dns queries are fast and surfing in the internet is no problem until I reboot the firewall ... After rebooting the firewall dns resolves take up to 5000 seconds if i try e.g. a dig www.yahoo.de or whatever from the dns server. Using my local webbrowesr sometimes failes to get the dns name resolved. If the dns server gets the "diged" ip, browsing is fast as usualy ... Any ideas, what could cause the "firsttime" resolving delay? DNS-SServer: Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) kernel 2.4.22-1.2199.4.legacy.nptl bind 9.2.2.P3-9 Thanks for hints!

R/W DASD shared among zLinux images...
by Nix, Robert P. 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Is there a properly intelligent filesystem and driver that can handle a read-write filesystem across multiple zLinux images? We're trying to install the set of Tivoli products, using zLinux as the server for many of the pieces, and the folks doing the install have come to a piece that says it will run on zLinux, but requires R/W access to a specific directory from all servers participating in the cluster. The Tivoli people want to do the HA install, and so would want / need this directory on a filesystem that can be R/W to multiple zLinux guests. I am unaware of any viable solution. NFS doesn't cut it, because the NFS server could go down. Are there any alternatives? -- Robert P.
