mysql 5.x
by Dean Maluski 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

When I first installed RedHat ES4 I wanted to upgrade MySQL. When I went to install RPM's it complained of a dependency to do with dovecot. I decided against it since I'm using pop3 and didn't want to break dovecot. Has anyone upgraded MySQL and had problems?

I checked my Desktop menu in the hierarchy you described but didn't find the Login Screen tool. Could you tell me which package I should install from the source CD's or which equivalent command I can use from the shell to accomplish the same task.

I can switch between the percentage mode and time mode, but I don`t see the way how to adjust the time mode. Means, where to specify the maximum time my laptop can run on batteries. -- regards, Oleksandr Korneta /The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./

Re: x86_64 system crashes every 7 days

Hi, I've had a similar problem since I added an SATA drive as well. But, it's every 2 days or so, if I don't use the system. I get a error message on the monitor about the SATA timing out. Todd

Postgres is a full-featured option: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/index.html Easy to install, either from RPM's found at: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.2/linux/rpms/fedora/ or by building it from source: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.1.2/

Re: sharing fc3 swap space with Centos
by Peter Skensved 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

John, You can share a swap partition as long as you shut down properly ( like telinit 6 or whatever ). I do it all the time. The swap partition is recognized as a proper swap parttion by the next kernel. Swap Suspend on the other hand re-writes the swap partition so booting another kernel will likely have dire consequences since to it, the swap partition looks corrupted but it may or may not recognize that. Also, your filesystem will be in a weird state and it will have to be fsck'ed. You will probably have to boot in rescue mode and have to run mkswap before things will work again. You can use the noresume option to turn off swap suspend altogether. Booting the same kernel from a swap suspended system with the noresume option lead to the same mess as above. Look in the acpi-howto for more details. It has a good summary of what suspend1, 2 and 3 does. peter ---- Peter Skensved Email : peter(a)SNO.Phy.QueensU.CA Dept. of Physics, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

perms on sendmails spool dir?
by Gene Heskett 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

In doing some housecleaning in /var/spool, I deleted some empty dirs a few days ago, one of them being clientmqueue. Then I noted I wasn't getting any system or cron generated email, and connected the dots when sm_client failed on a reboot. So I've recreated that dir, and restarted sendmail but still no system mail from things like amanda is being rx'd. Whats the proper perms for sendmail related stuffs? -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-) Yahoo.com and AOL/TW attorneys please note, additions to the above message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2006 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.

version or path issue w/ libstdc++.so ?
by J.Moore 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

I use PasswordSafe on my Windoze PC, and wanted to install it on my Fedora PC. So I got the binary from http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/ and did a make install as instructed. However, when I try to run it, I get the following error: $ MyPasswordSafe MyPasswordSafe: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Running 'locate': $ locate libstdc++.so ... /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 ... $ echo $PATH /usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/jamoore/bin So, it turns out I don't have "ibstdc++.so.5" on my system (FC3), but I do have "ibstdc++.so.6". I'm guessing this is a later version??? Q: Do I have a version issue, or a path issue? Thanks, Jay
