Hi all - I sent this but it didn't show up on the posting so I'm sending
it again - sorry if you get it twice...
I have three (at least) major problems that I've been struggling with
for a good while.
1) RPM doesn't work.
2) up2date does not and has never yet worked
3) The LPD server says it is running, but won't shutdown and restart -
and I can't print without it.
I've tried several things, so bear with me while I revisit my failed
attempts so far:
- - - - - - -
1) I cannot re/install any software package. This is the command line &
error I get while runnning kpackage:
<eplacepkgs /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/kdeadmin-2.2-8.i386.rpm;echo
RESULT=$?
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db3 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily
unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
RESULT=1
2) Another related problem:
I have repeatedly tried to run up2date and it still doesn't work. A
couple of things seem pretty messed up.
When I run up2date from the root command line this is the error I get:
[root@bgp543409bgs root]# up2date &
[1] 2270
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db3 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily
unavailable (11)
Traceback (innermost last):

[1]+ Done up2date
*** FYI: I ran: up2date --configure --nox
This is how I currently have it set up:
[root@bgp543409bgs root]# up2date --configure --nox
0. storageDir /var/spool/up2date
1. networkSetup Yes
2. headerCacheSize 40
3. httpProxy
4. debug No
5. useGPG Yes
6. networkRetries 5
7. removeSkipList ['kernel*']
8. retrieveOnly No
9. enableProxy No
10. keepAfterInstall No
11. proxyPassword
12. proxyUser
13. headerFetchCount 10
14. versionOverride
15. enableProxyAuth No
16. noSSLServerURL http://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC
17. noReplaceConfig No
18. noBootLoader No
19. systemIdPath /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
20. serverURL https://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC
21. pkgSkipList ['kernel*']
22. adminAddress ['root@localhost']
23. forceInstall No
24. fileSkipList []
25. retrieveSource No
And finally when I run:rpm --rebuilddb
I get:
[root@bgp543409bgs root]# rpm --rebuilddb
rpmdb: write: 0xbfffd520, 8192: No space left on device
error: db3 error(28) from dbenv->open: No space left on device
error: cannot open Packages index
3) Recently when I try to print (RH 7.2, i686, HPD722C) I get the error
message: "cannot open connection to localhost - Connection refused. Make
sure LPD server is running on the server."
And when I type: "/sbin/service lpd restart" - I get: Stopping
lpd:[FAILED] Starting
lpd:[ OK ] I believe this LPD FAILURE is the crux of the
problem....But I've no idea how to fix it.
**** FYI : /etc/hosts reads (correctly I believe):
[root@bgp543409bgs etc]# more hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
I throw myself at the mercy of your collective wisdom.....help.......
