texlive problems
I love the fact that F9 is now using texlive instead of tetex. However,
I have found these 3 problems so far:
1. pcatcode.sty is missing. Example:
$ cat t.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsrefs}
\begin{document}
hello
\end{document}
$ latex t.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
(./t.tex
LaTeX2e <2005/12/01>
[...snip...]
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/amscls/amsrefs.sty
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/html/url.sty)
! LaTeX Error: File `pcatcode.sty' not found.
[...snip...]
2. No kdvi program. kdvi used to be in kdegraphics but this no longer
seems to be the case. kdvi works very well with kile. Has this program
been dropped?
3. There seems to be a problem with pdf metapost processing. I haven't
tracked this down fully yet but a collection of metapost and latex files
that process correctly with tetex, produces this:
$ pdflatex premath.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)

Re: texlive problems
Thanks for all the responses. Here is a summary of what I have so far: On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 08:35:41AM +1000, Norman Gaywood wrote: > 1. pcatcode.sty is missing.

That thread seems to indicate that the problem has been fixed upstream and it was touch and go if the update would make it to the first release of F9. Seems this problem will go away eventually. In the meantime I took the suggestion: On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 05:24:06PM -0700, Antonio Olivares wrote: > What I do here, is I would search for that *.sty file.

Several people noted that kdvi has been replaced by okular in kedgraphics. That's fine, we can live with that. One of my users complained that okular does not implement "inverse search". A fix for that seems to be on the way: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg27436.html > 3. There seems to be a problem with pdf metapost processing.

installing perl modules on F10
Hi list, So whats the recommended way of installing perl modules in Fedora 10? What we have been doing in the past is to install a perl-* rpm via yum if one is available for the module we want. If the module is not available via rpm, we use "perl -MCPAN -e shell" to install modules. However, on the systems we recently upgraded to Fedora 10 (from F8), the perl modules installed via CPAN are no longer in perl's @INC search path. So I guess we can go through and manually install those lost modules with CPAN again, but is there a better way? -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia ngayw...@une.edu.auPhone: +61 (0)2 6773 3337 http://mcs.une.edu.au/~normFax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Re: F10 nfs installs
I just succeeded in doing and NFS upgrade from F9 to F10. I made a CD out of Fedora-10-i386-netinst.iso, booted that and at the grub menu: - Made sure install/upgrade existing system was selected - Hit TAB before the timeout - Appended this to the boot command line: method=nfsiso:servername:/exported/dir/withiso - pressed enter After answering the question about languages, keyboard and which interface to use, it managed to upgrade my system without further input. -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED]Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 3337 http://mcs.une.edu.au/~normFax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Fedora 11/12 kernels as xen domU
Is anyone having any stability with the fedora kernels running as a Xen DomU. Dom0 is a Centos 5.4 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5xen kernel. These fedora kernels seem to lockup (processes get stuck in D state) whenever put under any load: kernel-2.6.30.10-105.fc11.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 Yes, I tried a fedora 11 kernel on a fedora 12 system. This is the most stable for me. Here are some bugzilla entries (one posted by me) that point to this problem: kernel 2.6.31 processes lock up in D state https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550724 FC12 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 hangs under heavy disk I/O https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551552 -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia ngayw...@une.edu.auPhone: +61 (0)2 6773 3337 http://mcs.une.edu.au/~normFax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
