Re: Starting mysql

Hi,

  './mysql/proxies_priv.frm' (errno: 13)

 I think the nearby suggestions to run mysql_upgrade are probably right,
 especially if you're trying to upgrade from some pre-5.5 version of
 mysql.  But it occurs to me that there's some chance of SELinux
 interference; do you see any avc messages in /var/log/messages?
 If so, restorecon on the /var/lib/mysql tree ought to fix that.

Removed the entire mysql* rpms, installed fresh via yum, rm
-rf /var/lib/mysql, enabled the service, did the mysql_install_db and
all is good.

Trying to start the server gives me this though...

Where should this proxies_priv.frm reside as it looks to be the same
missing file as before?

MySQL working, myPhpAdmin isn't!

2011-12-12 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I've not got mysql working fine, but phpMyAdmin is moaning about mysqli
being missing. I've installed php-devel and php-mysql, but still it
moans. I can't see anything wrong in /etc/php.ini either.

Any clues?

Hi,

 you're using httpd prefork right?

rpm -qa httpd
httpd-2.2.21-4.fc17.x86_64

Assuming that is prefork - it's what's in rawhide

Starting mysql

2011-12-11 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

No idea why I can't get mysql running on my rawhide box. When I try to
start it up, I get the infamous

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

This looks like the daemon isn't running or the service isn't running.

service mysql or service mysqld is giving nothing and I can't find
mysqld anywhere either.

There are some mysql-mmm entries in /etc/init.d but nothing else. 

How do I get it running?

Re: Starting mysql

2011-12-11 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi Tom,

 Ummm ... do you have mysql-server RPM installed? 

Yep.

  But in any case,
 Fedora's mysql package was converted to systemd some time ago, so you
 might have better luck using the native systemd service management
 commands:
 
   systemctl enable mysqld.service
   systemctl start mysqld.service
   systemctl status mysqld.service
 
 If start fails, there might be relevant info in either or both of
 /var/log/messages and /var/log/mysqld.log.

start fails - it's telling me...

Hi,

 Did you initialize databases as suggested (mysql_install_db) ?

Yep - gave me this

[root@PB3 paul]# mysql_install_db
Installing MySQL system tables...
111211 21:00:37 [ERROR] Incorrect definition of table mysql.proc:

111211 21:00:38 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete


Installation of system tables failed!  Examine the logs in
/var/lib/mysql for more information.

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

shell /usr/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant 

and use the command line tool /usr/bin/mysql
to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:

shell /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths.  Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.

Please consult the MySQL manual section
'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that
describes problems on your OS.  Another information source are the
MySQL email archives available at http://lists.mysql.com/.

Please check all of the above before mailing us!  And remember, if
you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Unable to get other machines to connect to samba in rawhide

2011-11-19 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

Not sure why Samba is playing up anymore, but it's dead. I've not
changed the setup (set as share with various users who should be able to
access the main box), but nothing.

The samba logs aren't that useful...

  standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option

It then complains about not being able to connect to a socket

is this sort of output normal or is samba acting up?

s-c-samba is set for people to login as users (rather than share etc),
but it's still not showing on other machines (all-win7).

Samba on rawhide

2011-10-16 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

For some unknown reason, all of my Samba share drives are no longer
visible. I've done the updates from rawhide and am running the
3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.0.fc17.x86_64 kernel.

I've not altered anything on the firewall or with selinux, so I'm at a
loss as to what is going on. One minute they were there, next gone.

I have the following Samba packages installed...

samba-doc-3.6.0-72.fc17.x86_64
samba4-4.0.0-37.alpha16.fc17.x86_64
samba-swat-3.6.0-72.fc17.x86_64

samba-winbind-krb5-locator-3.6.0-72.fc17.x86_64

Any ideas on what might be going amiss?

Lack of space on /

2011-07-08 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

Something strange has happened on my system. At the start of last
week, / was reporting that I had about 8Gb free. It now reports that /
is completely full.

chkrootkit is reporting nothing untoward.

I have noticed that putting things in the wastebasket and then saying
empty hasn't been doing so recently, but that shouldn't account for 8Gb!

Any ideas?

Re: cups service gone walkabouts?

2011-07-06 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

  It seems that after yesterdays (5th July) mammoth rawhide update, that
  the cups daemon has vanished from /etc/init.d - any idea if this is just
  an oversight?
 
 I would guess (given that Lennart used it as his example in his recent 
 article) that it has been converted to be a native systemd service.

Ah.

Looks like I may need to bz it as unless I run /usr/sbin/cupsd -F from a
terminal, the service isn't starting. s-c-services and s-c-printer isn't
showing anything.

Should I put it under cups or systemd?

Importing PS to LibreOffice

2011-04-17 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I have a pile of postscript files (mix of graphics and text) that I
really need to get into LibreOffice, but I've hit two snags.

If I do a direct import, I get lots of text which looks like raw
postscript. If I open in eVince (or something similar) and do a copy and
paste to LibreOffice, I get gibberish on the screen (eVince displays
correctly, LibreOffice doesn't)

I've tried converting the ps files to pdf and importing the pdf directly
in, but again, gibberish on screen. The graphics thankfully import fine.

pdf2html generates garbage as well.

I'm not sure, but am I hitting a ghostscript issue?

libreoffice-writer-3.3.2.2-6.fc16.x86_64
ghostscript-9.02-3.fc16.x86_64
evince-2.91.90-2.fc16.x86_64

Going off-line for a while

2011-03-26 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I'm going off for quite a bit as my new job dictates very little time
and having to endure the evils that is Win7. The Linux box will still be
on, just no time for much else on it.

For some reason, I can't sign the vacation page, but that's currently
not much of an issue...

Catch you all in a bit

Rawhide is annoying me!

2011-02-05 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I'm having two problems on two different boxes, both running rawhide.

Problem 1 (my main box) - whoever decided to remove the default
applications thing from the menu, please put it back. I can understand
the rational, but it currently means that on firing up my desktop, I
don't have nautilus running as soon as I log in which is an absolute
pain. I have to configure my sound every time to use the soundblaster
rather than the on board card and it's generally just annoying.

Is there a way that I can set the start up applications now?

Problem 2 (laptop). Gnome is dead. I can use KDE for my desktop but
gnome, irrespective of the user, gives me a blue stripy screen and
that's it. I've tried creating a new user in case it was my settings,
but nope, blue stripy screen. I am not sure if it's related to gnome-do
(I installed it, didn't like it, yum removed it) removing something it
shouldn't have, but it does mean my laptop, unless using KDE, is no use.

Any help on fixing these issues, please let me know - they're both
driving me mad!!

Hi,

I'm currently packaging Mono-2.10 RC2 for rawhide but have hit a snag
and I'm not sure if it's Fedora or mono, so I'm seeking advice.

I'm building on my 64 bit box and have installed the latest (3rd Feb

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

httpd and svn problems (rawhide)

2011-01-03 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I have two problems which I can't seem to get to the bottom of, both of
them are very annoying and I don't know if it's me or the software so
would rather check things before putting stuff into the big red lizard.

First is httpd (apache).

I can do /etc/init.d/httpd stop and the server stops, but when I try to
start the server I get

Starting httpd (via systemctl):  Job failed. See system logs and
'systemctl status' for details.

systemctl status httpd.service shows

httpd.service - LSB: start and stop Apache HTTP Server
  Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd)

/var/log/httpd/error_log is showing nothing at all

I've also attempted to set up an svn server using the instructions at 

http://queens.db.toronto.edu/~nilesh/linux/subversion-howto/

using instruction 2. However, when I try to start svnserve I get

svnserve -r /svn -d
svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use

netstat is showing nothing is binding to the svn port.

I've thought it could be an selinux problem, but as I'm running
permissive, nothing is being reported back.

Any help on either of these would be appreciated :)

Mono.Cecil

2010-12-08 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

Mono.Cecil has been a pain in the backside for many moons with the
advice being to ditch the version which ships with package and try and
use the version bundled with mono itself (which is version 0.6-ish).

Unfortunately, this is leading to a number of problems (db4o 7.4 up
won't work like this and many other packages are starting to creak)

The lead developer for Mono.Cecil has released version 0.9.4 and it's
rapidly approaching version 1.0 (not sure about the eta on it).

I've packaged 0.9.4 up as a new package (mono-cecil) and will put it up
for review shortly (got a few minor things to sort out first). This will
break quite a few of the scripts currently being used (for example,
monodevelop-2.4.1 won't build). However, there are advantages to using a
new Mono.Cecil, especially as the old version really is old and broken
in places.

Does anyone have a problem with a new mono.cecil package being imported?

The sale of Novell

2010-11-23 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

As you may be aware, Novell recently sold itself/merged/whatever to
another company with the transfer of 882 patents to MS. No idea what
this will mean with the SCO legal case, but hey.

My question regards Mono now. With the sale of Novell and MS gaining a
pile of patents, will this affect the inclusion of Mono and the mono
sub-packages into Fedora? I know the licence is OSS happy (else it
wouldn't be allowed in), but will the sale change this (change of
ownership, revokation of the licence etc)?

something like 0.6 whereas head it 0.9.

However, it's not as simple as building 0.9 to get things working...

Re: Building boo against mono-2.8 problem

2010-10-28 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

  Is it possible to build boo on koji without removing the old version or
  is there a way to just remove Boo.Lang.Extensions from the gac?
  
 Not sure how this is a problem. Boo.Lang.Extensions.dll is only shipped 
 by the boo package, right? And rebuilding boo does *not* pull in the old 
 version, so where's the conflict coming from?

Boo itself.

It looks like it tries to pull in Boo.Lang.Extensions from the gac if
its there and build against that - but can't. I'm saying looks like as
upstream aren't that forthcoming with information, just a workaround.

Building boo against mono-2.8 problem

2010-10-27 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

In order to build the latest version of boo (the current one in the
repos won't build against mono-2.8), the old version of boo has to be
removed as there is a conflict with Boo.Lang.Extensions in gac (it is a
known bug which is being worked on upstream).

Is it possible to build boo on koji without removing the old version or
is there a way to just remove Boo.Lang.Extensions from the gac?

The problem will show its head again should another rebuild be required
(which hopefully won't happen until the next version appears)

mono-ndoc

Hi,

With the dropping of .NET 1.1 support in mono-2.8, mono-ndoc will now no
longer compile (there is very little support for .NET 2.0 in it anyway).
It's dead in the water. The original author has said he no longer wishes
to maintain the package.

I'm not sure what actually depends on mono-ndoc, so it may not be that
big a problem. It will though need to be removed from rawhide - how is
this done?

log4net may also be on its way out too...

Re: Building mono-2.8 for 64 bit - possible solution to the problem

2010-10-14 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

  It looks like glibc is missing TLS support. Do I submit a BZ against
  glibc?
 
 That is simply not the case and it's hard to see how you came to such
 a conclusion.

Based on what I'm seeing from the error and getting from searching...

I've looked a bit deeper and there is nothing untoward being set in the
Makefile.in or Makefile.am files anywhere during the compilation - it's
picking things up in the configure script correctly and there is nothing
in the buildlog to say -m32 is being passed.

I'm going now to assume that CCASFLAGS on the x86_64 buildsys is
returning -m64 (is there a way to examine the root Makefiles generated
by the buildsys to ensure that this is happening?) and what does that
leave us with?

Help! I'm running around in circles

 This is certainly a case of compiling i386 code and then trying to link it
 as x86-64 (or with other code compiled for x86-64).

In previous incarnations of mono, this has worked without a hitch

 If what you really intend is to compile i[3-6]86 code in an x86_64 rpm,
 then indeed you need to make sure that you are passing -m32 for all
 the compiler invocations any compilation or linking of the 32-bit code.

I'm not sure in this case. As I've said, the last version (2.6.7-3)
build fine on the 64 bit boxes without the need to pass any flags to the
compiler so either Novell has messed with something or the buildsys is
not being nice to me. Can't decide which...

Any comments about the latest version of mono on my site?

2010-10-06 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

A couple of days back I uploaded preview 8 of mono-2.8 for comments but
have heard nothing back. The move to 2.8 will require a good number of
rebuilds as 2.8 has had all the .NET 1.1 stuff removed.

If you have a mono reliant package, can you please rebuild and let me
know if there are any problems. If I submit to rawhide now there will be
a tonne of breakages and I'd rather avoid that if possible.

Mono 2.8 now built... but...

2010-10-03 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I've finally managed to get mono-2.8 to build and it wasn't easy. A
tonne of things have changed, the biggest is that .NET 1.1 has gone.
Completely gone. 'tis no more!

If you have anything reliant on .NET 1.1, you will need to rebuild. I've
uploaded the source rpms to 

http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/libgdiplus-2.8-1.fc15.src.rpm
http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/mono-2.8-1.fc15.src.rpm

They build fine on my x86 box, YRMV, but let me know of any build
failures.

I've not put it into rawhide yet as I'd rather people build first then
we can do a mass update rather than have a pile of broken deps.

I've not built any of the other parts of mono yet, they'll come
today/tomorrow.

Changes...

- Bump to preview 8 of 2.8 release
- Remove .NET 1.1 code
- Update ppc threading patch
- Update patch1 and 5 and rename
- Combine patches 2 and 7 (why two libdir patches?)
- Remove jay from the install step
- Realise that spelling is quite imporgtint...
- Big changes to the spec file to bring it into line with Novell's fixes
- New mvc, mvc-devel and winfx subpackages
- Some parts of the mono-web subpackage moved to mvc
- Fix the macro which looked for 1.0 things
- Remove and obsoletes mono-jscript
- Remove and obsolete data-sybase and data-firebird
- Modify macros to make sense now the 1.0 stuff has gone
- Extend the 4.0 subpackage to include lots of new stuff

If you have anything reliant on mono-jscript, mono-data-sybase and
mono-data-firebird, they're gone.

Please try and build, let me know of any problems though.

LibreOffice

2010-10-02 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

Given the fun which looks to be happening over OOo due to Oracle, are
there any plans to drop OOo and move over to LibreOffice (which looks to
be at version 3.2.999 - pretty much the same as OOo currently is at).
The full release version is penned in for Christmas (or there abouts).

I have no problems helping package this behemoth!

TTFN

Re: Arithmetic coding in Fedora libjpeg (bug #639531)

2010-10-02 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

 You shall not create images with arithmetic coding is like saying You
 shall not create images of the flying sphagetti monster. It's not up to
 Fedora to make this choice for me.

It is though - you have chosen to use Fedora therefore have to live with
the decisions the Fedora legal people (I'm assuming they said no to
arithmetic coding) have said goes.

Remember, Fedora is not just for use in your country - there are piles
of countries it's used in, each with their own insane patent
regulations. The fedora stance is that if it offends, it's out.

If you want a prime example, look at either DeCSS or mp3 support. Plenty
of distros have it, but they're both out of Fedora. Doesn't matter that
in the authenticity of the mp3 patent is still in doubt, Fedora plays it
safe. rpmfusion may supply DeCSS and mp3 support, but they're not part
of Fedora. This may be one avenue to look at - see if rpmfusion can
supply an add-on package for this.

 Just for the record, AFAIK there are only two countries which allows
 software patents - USA and South Korea.

Yep - and it's the US which has some of the more insane ones (and
therefore has to be the most careful over). 

I wonder how long it will be before Apple's current insane one over
backing up to a local repository will be allowed to stand - effectively
it means you can't burn to a CD!

Nautilus still no go in rawhide

2010-09-25 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

What is going on with Nautilus? It's not been usable for quite a while
now. Most recently, I've had it working by starting it from a terminal
window but now even that has stopped working and is giving me the
following

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module pk-gtk-module: libpk-gtk-module.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module gail-gnome: libgail-gnome.so:

(this is the same if I use nautilus -n [then double click on a drive
icon] or nautilus with no arguments)

Any ideas on what is going on? 

I last updated the machine last night and things seem to have gone wrong
since about Tuesday (last update on koji).

I did think it was related to the gir rebuilds, but that doesn't seem to
be the case.

HELP

Paul

P.S. I have both .so files installed...

Passing arguments into LDFLAGS

2010-09-22 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I know I can do the likes of 

export CFLAGS=$CFLAGS -blah and it will pass whatever CFLAGS is plus
the argument -blah to the compiler.

How do I do this with LDFLAGS. I'm trying to pass --build-id using

export LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS --build-id

It's about the only way I can get mono to build currently!

Re: rawhide report: 20100920 changes

2010-09-20 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

   gnome-panel-2.31.90-1.fc15.i686 requires libedataserverui-1.2.so.10

Can this not just be rebuilt against the new libedataserverui as it's
blocking the update to evolution?

Problem while building mono-2.8

2010-09-15 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I've not come across this (mainly as I've not been that active due to a
mix of work problems and hardware problems which meant a big
re-install). Most of mono is built, but I've just hit this error

*** ERROR: No build ID note found
in 
/home/paul/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mono-2.8-1.fc15.i386/usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll.so

googling suggests that there has been a change and that I need to add
LDFLAGS += --build-id in the build and install parts. I've not had to do
this before, so am I missing something and if I include it, will it then
fail to build on koji?

Re: Problem while building mono-2.8

2010-09-15 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi Dennis,

 Mono has had alot of issues building on x86_64 recently.  it would be great 
 if 
 you worked with upstream to track down and resolve the 64 bit issues.

From what I've seen, 2.8 fixes quite a lot of the issues with 64 bit
systems. Are there any specifics I should look at?

TTFN

 That is not usually the ideal solution.  And that the problem is new (some
 time after F8) suggests there may be something more strange going on.
 I'll help you figure it out if I can see the build.

I can email you over the throwback from the build (or the spec file with
altered patches), but as it dies on on the missing build ID (even with
the LDFLAGS thing added), there is no build.

I'm assuming that make LDFLAGS+=--build-id is correct and that I don't
need to export it or add anything else..

Nautilus misbehaving

2010-08-29 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

After the recent rawhide to nautilus 2.90.1-1.fc15.i686, it's stopped
working claiming that I don't have Settings schema
'org.gnome.desktop.lockdown' installed.

What is this and how do I fix the problem?

Unable to start X

2010-01-25 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

I'm using the nvidia 7600 video card with the neuveau driver (not using the
commerical driver, just the fedora shipped one). I did a rawhide update on
Saturday and it looks like something there has borked my system. I had a power
outage last night and had to reboot. It doesn't matter which version of the
kernel I try to load, but when I try to boot X I'm told that the kernel has
claimed a driver and the server won't start until the kernel has unclaimed it.

I've tried passing nomodeset and vesa in the boot line, but no good. If I boot
to runlevel 3, I can get a command line login, so the system is up and
working, but issuing startx gives me the error about the claimed module.

Any ideas on how to get my desktop to boot or do I need to downgrade the
xorg-x11-drv-neuvaux (or however it's spelt!)?

TTFN

Paul
