From Mark.Knutsen at nasdaq.com Fri Oct 1 13:28:27 2004 From: Mark.Knutsen at nasdaq.com (Knutsen, Mark) Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2004 09:28:27 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Upgrade 9.0 to RHEL 3.0 Message-ID: Today's new ruby packages cause a dependency problem with two packages left over from RHL9. To fix, do: rpm -e irb ruby-tcltk before running up2date. New alphabetized list of RHL9 packages to remove before attempting RHL9 -> RHEL3 WS upgrade: ddskk-xemacs desktop-printing galeon glibc-debug irb jdkgcj koffice krb5-server mozilla-devel openssl-perl php-devel php-manual php-snmp pwlib-devel qt-ODBC qt-PostgreSQL qtcups ruby-tcltk subversion subversion-devel ...and don't forget to remove old redhat-release and install new redhat-release-3WS after the upgrade! See Step 4 below: -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Knutsen, Mark Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 1:56 PM To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: RE: [rhn-users] Upgrade 9.0 to RHEL 3.0 This just in: Libraries in the new RHEL3 "httpd-" and "httpd-devel-2.0.46-32.ent.3" packages conflict with those from "subversion" and "subversion-devel" in RHL9, so add these to the list of packages to remove before upgrading if you want the later up2date to succeed: subversion subversion-devel This sort of thing happens periodically as Red Hat updates packages. Conflicts are created with packages that used to exist in RHL9 and no longer exist in RHEL3 (at least not in the WS version that I use). The simple fix is to remove the older packages. Of course, if you really need Subversion (or Koffice, or Galeon, etc.) you'll either need to --force something, find a third-party package that doesn't conflict, or compile from source. > -----Original Message----- > From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com]On Behalf Of Knutsen, Mark > Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 10:18 AM > To: Red Hat Network Users List > Subject: RE: [rhn-users] Upgrade 9.0 to RHEL 3.0 > > > True, but I've been led to believe that "avoiding use of > unnecessary --force" (sorry) is desirable. > > Note that in a followup I fixed duplicate package names in step 1. > I think this is a minimal list of RHL9 packages that need to > be removed before the upgrade: > > rpm -e openssl-perl pwlib-devel krb5-server php-manual > mozilla-devel galeon koffice qtcups desktop-printing > ddskk-xemacs > > Also, there is no Step 5.

Infact if the package is not installed it doesn't do anything but if it is installed it upgrades. But it doesn't work as I expected because: for upgrading package bind, for example, I was forced to erase the old version and reinstall the new version. This in not an automatically work as I would like to have but I must do single commands to resolve this case and the dependency problems. I am feared that I must spend much time to exchange CD with the updates from one server to another. I have all the RPMs on /var/spool/up2date. Bye --------------------------------- Nuovo Yahoo!

Alas, without internet connectivity, the hoops that you will have to jump through are going to be always there to some degree. I.e., if this is a sneaker-net box, then neither RHN nor Apt are going to help you tremendously other than maybe peripherally. Now... if that box has intranet (not internet) connectivity, the RHN Satellite or RHN Proxy solution sounds like they may be right up your alley. -- ____________ /odd Warner Head Geek, QA/Sust-Eng/Rel-Eng, Red Hat Network ---------------------gpg info in the message headers-------------------- "When the going gets tough, you're halfway through a cliche" -Greg Dean(?)

Also as root I can do a "ypcat passwd" and I can see list of users. However as a user, the same command doesn't return any results. Looks like some permission problem is allowing root to view the NIS users and their information, but a non-super user cannot. Thanks for the help.

I'm using NIS, and I've configured the client in the identical manner as done previously. However, this is the first time I'm using a Linux machine as the NIS server.

On the server side, in ypserv.conf I set the security to "none" instead of "port". This allows everyone to be able to query the NIS server because it accepts connections for non-privileged ports ( < 1024). Is this the only way to allow users the ability to read the NIS information?

My fedora boxes don't have any problem because I have my own internal mirror of the updates. But for Enterprise it's a different story. I asked about the satellite service but was told it doesn't work with ES/AS v3 yet. I was about to remove the Redhat up2date and start testing the fedora up2date or perhaps yum but just altered my network slightly ( and used NAT ) so my machines could contact the RedHat site. None of these are perfect. I'm waiting for the satellite service. Hope it works with RHES4 because that'll be a very nice step up from the RedHat 9 based distro that 3 is. Shame really, it's only because of Oracles limited number of supported platforms that I'm in this predicament. -n.

Our server is WS3.0 with 2.4.21-15.0.2.ELsmp kernel and has the latest rsync rpm: rsync-2.5.7-5.3E. The problem we are having is that rsync started changing ctime for any files that were checked even providing with -a/-t option. For example, I added one file to one directory to be backed up. When rsync script got ran, it transferred only one file, but it changed ctime for all files in the same directory. We have several backup servers (but those have a different kernel version), but only one machine has this problem. Does anyone know the solution to this problem ?

Some of you suggested "mondo rescue" from www.microwerks.net/~hugo/ and a procedure to install it. Thank you so much. It is a powerful tool, unfortunately hasn't a md5sum or PGP key to verify the file downloaded. Security in my company is a very important question and my boss permit to install RPMs only from a trusted source. So I am going to buy a commercial product even if I must agree that it has very very good features. http://www.acronis.com/products/trueimageserverlinux/ It costs about 700 Euro that in a mission critical situation it isn't very expensive. I am going to install a server reacheable by network designed to host disk images of all my servers. Then this images will be copied on a tape for backup.

What model, specifically, of the wifi card? Error messages, etc. The somewhat definiative Linux wireless page is: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ There are links to other good resources from there. Also, as other have pointed out, this is, technically, a Red Hat list as opposed to Mandrake. There are similarities between the two, and we could probably bludgeon our way though configuration on Mandrake, but it won't be pretty, elegant, or The Mandrake Way. -- Jesse Becker GPG-fingerprint: BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The vendor supplies the drivers for XP. Did you try to go into Network services under Red Hat and see if you could probe for the card to see if it recognized ?? Assuming that Red Hat does not see the card , then several choices .. google the driver and install it, use ndiswrapper , or try the Linuxant solution [19 bucks I think to wrap it], or buy a card that is Linux compatible. But try the Google search first and see if there is a driver already out there. > >--------------------------------- >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
