Re: [CentOS] mysqldump file fails to load

Rob, I have experienced a similar problem a few months back between two different versions of mySQL, both running on CentOS 5. The problem was caused by mysqldump writing a bad CREATE TABLE statement into the dump file for one of the tables. More specifically, one column had to small of a size allocated to it (and definitely different than what was in the originating database) so the import kept failing because UTF-8 characters could not fit into it. Manually fixing the size in the dump file took care of the problem. Marko ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

On Tue, June 24, 2008 3:08 pm, Bernhard Gschaider wrote: Hi! I know that the nvidia-drv-x11-package is from RPMForge, but I thought I might mention it here. I have a machine with a NVidia-card and because of the ease of use I use the rpmforge-package for that. After upgrading the problem was that during rebooting as soon as the machine hit the RHGB (which implicitly uses that driver) the machine froze. I booted into the old kernel removed rhgb, rebooted. Now the machine froze when starting X. Same procedure: Old Kernel. Remove nvidia-drv-x11. Reboot into the new kernel and reinstall nvidia-drv-x11. After a reboot everything works as it used to. The cause of the problem could have been (sorry, I didn't do any thorough forensic) that the nvidia.ko that was used in the new kernel was a symbolic link from the weak-updates-directory into the old kernel extra-directory. Is it possible that this only works inside of kernels with the same x in CentOS 5.x ? For the other machines I am upgrading I plan to 1. deinstall nvidia-x11-drv 2. do a regular yum upgrade 3. reinstall nvidia-x11-drv after reboot That is exactly what I did and my machine hangs again after nvidia-x11-drv is installed. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Could not find anything. Eh? You just need to enable ip forwarding to enable routing. After that, it is put up the firewall rules as is necessary, build the appropriate routing tables on the firewall box and the boxes on the intranet(s). iptables does not handle routing. No, but iptables controls what is allowed to route, I think this is where you are getting confused and causing yourself issues. iptables has ZERO effect on what is allowed to route. It is a simple YES or NO as to if it should be allowed to pass or be filtered. I have been tested as having a significant language usage problem, and am working on it. 'what is allowed to route', was a poor choice of wording. What you wrote above is much closer to what I wanted to say. ip src/dest is used for routing decisions by the kernel. The IP state machine (check the RFC or any decent TCP/IP textbook) is really quite simple. But iptables sticks its nose into the center of that state machine and can mangle addresses to change how packets flow through the machine, or just simplely yank packets right out of the machine with a simple NO (drop). So in my mind's eye of the IP state machine (my MSU CPS 410 prof was death on state machines; turn in a perfectly executing assignment without one and there went half your grade. See HIP for its state machine) is dictated by iptables as to what it is allowed to route. Those little words, put up the firewall rules as necessary are equivalent to and magic happens here. It's actually not magical at all... Work with the mindset of I want to allow X, Y, and Z, then deny everything else. This translates easily into iptables rules -j ACCEPT and then your last rule (or policy) should be a deny/drop/reject. That is exactly what I tried to do. I just used the wrong bit of pixie dust (during some of the 'heated' IPsec meeting debates one fellow would try to sneak up a speaker 'that just did not get it' and sprinkle some glitter on them. He had labeled his tube of glitter as 'security pixie dust'). If you are interested in learning how iptables work, I suggest reading this book: Linux Firewalls, Second Edition by Robert L.

Thx for any help
Assuming that you have those lines in a file called numbers.txt, you can
execute the following (all on one line):
cat numbers.txt | tr '.,e' ',^^' | awk -F^ '{printf(%s $%s \\cdot
10^{%s}$\n, $1, $2, $3);}'
The output will be:
1,1 $3,19 \cdot 10^{-4}$\\
1,2 $3,05 \cdot 10^{-3}$\\
10,5 $9,14 \cdot 10^{8}$\\
Not the most elegant solution, but it works. I hope this is what you were
looking for.

Right now, it seems like it's not sourced from anywhere by located on the init file itself. Appreciate if you guys can let me know if this is the correct place for altering it. Multiple instances of Postgres database will have separate init scripts. The location of the config file for each init script is /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/init-script-name For example, for the default init script (/etc/init.d/postgresql) that gets installed with Postgres, the config file is /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql . Although the /etc/sysconfig/pgsql directory gets created when Postgres is installed, you will not find any config files in it initially. In order to change the default PGDATA (and/or PGPORT) values, you sill need to create appropriately named config file that will look like this: PGDATA=/data/pg PGPORT=3456 You don't need to set both values in it if you are changing only one default value.
