RE: [Oscar-users] Error installing Oscar 4.2 on Fedora Core 3 (DepMan)

Hi Carlos:   You need to have clean install of the OS before you can use a newer version of OSCAR (4.2.1) - looks like right now it's conflicting because you have some older packages installed from a previous version of OSCAR.   At a bare minimum, you can try to run the "start_over" script in /opt/oscar/scripts to "uninstall" the OSCAR installation - this script attempts to uninstall the packages and clean everything up, but it is not 100% clean.  The recommended way is a clean re-installing on the OS on the headnode, which is Fedora Core 4 for your case.   BTW, 4.2.1b5 should be ready tomorrow, so you might as well re-install the OS on the headnode, wait for b5 to be released and try it again.   Cheers,   Bernard From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Carlos Jorge Gonçalves Sent: Wed 08/02/2006 06:27 To: Bernard Li; 'Chuck Reed'; 'Oscar-users' Subject: RE: [Oscar-users] Error installing Oscar 4.2 on Fedora Core 3 (DepMan) Hi everyone,   I'm also having problems during the installation of OSCAR. But I'm using different versions.   Because I was having troubles to install a new node because the SATA disks, Bernard suggest an upgrade to Fedora Core 4.   Doing so, I upgrade the main node of the cluster to FC4, downloaded the new version of OSCAR, the 4.2.1 (more precisely version 4.2.1b4r4223), and installed it:   tar zxf oscar-4.2.1b4r4223 cd /opt/oscar ./configure make install   and everything went fine. The problems come out when I run the command:   install_cluster eth0   I get the following error:   "Oscar Wizard preparation script failed to complete at ./install_cluster line 212."   Next I saw the thread "Error installing Oscar 4.2 on Fedora Core 3 (DepMan)" and realized that the error is the same.   So I activated the flag DEBUG_UPDATE_RPMS (export DEBUG_UPDATE_RPMS=y) and run the "intall_cluster eth0" again to get more info, but I can’t pass from here   What can I do next?   In attached I send the log of the installation of the cluster.   Thanks, Carlos     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard Li Sent: segunda-feira, 6 de Fevereiro de 2006 18:27 To: Chuck Reed; Oscar-users Subject: RE: [Oscar-users] Error installing Oscar 4.2 on Fedora Core 3 (DepMan)   How fast is your machine and can you do a "top" (on the command prompt) during the slowdown and figure out what process is chewing up CPU?   Cheers,   Bernard   > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Chuck Reed > Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 7:43 > To: Oscar-users > Subject: RE: [Oscar-users] Error installing Oscar 4.2 on > Fedora Core 3 (DepMan) > > Well, for instance, it took about 5 minutes to load the Step > 1 window from the > point the GUI installer loaded and I clicked the button.  > Something just > doesn't appear to be working efficiently.  Is this normal for the > installation? > > > >===== Original Message From Michael Edwards > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== > >How do you mean "extreme slowdown"?  The install taking a > long time or > >other processes working slowly? > > > >On 2/6/06, Chuck Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> That took care of it.  Thanks a bunch. > >> > >> I have noticed an extreme slowdown when running the > ./install_cluster > script > >> (almost to the point that it's unbearable).  I'm going to > try using a > >> different machine as a server node and see if that can > help things out. > >> > >> > >> >===== Original Message From ANDY SIU <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== > >> >Hi Chuck, > >> > > >> >  As I remember, all RPMs from the four FC3 discs should > be copied to > >> /rpm/tftpboot. > >> > > >> >  Andy > >> > > >> >Chuck Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> >  Hello everyone. > >> > > >> >I am trying to install Oscar 4.2 on Fedora Core 3.
