Hi All
As some of you are aware I started last week trying to make a data base using
MySQL.
I that light I have a nice book, some book examples, and questions that are
not answered in the book.
This computer is set up with all data located on a separate partition
called /home/trunk/Common_Data which allows both the Linux and MS OS to see
the data.. Yea I know strange location not using /mnt/Common_Data/{file name
or directory} but I like it that way. Anyway I would like to place my data
bases in the same location.
Currently when I create a db it is located in /var/lib/mysql/{file name} so I
preceded to copy one of the db I had made called testdb to my desired
location. Then I tried to access testdb or as the db people say connect to
testdb.
Anyway I tried the following
use /home/trunk/Common_Data/testdb
plus a few variations of this eachtime receiving the response that the db
which MC says exist does not exist.
Would some kind person please explain how one creates, connects, and uses a db
in any other directory except /var/lib/mysql/*.
Thanks
Frank
All of the following must be done as root.
Turn off your mysql server process:
*# service mysql stop
*Copy your databases to the new location:
*# cp -a /var/lib/mysql /home/trunk/Common_Data/
*Rename your current mysql directory to keep it safe until you know that
your changes are working properly:
*# mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql_backup_20050217
*Create a symlink in /var/lib/ to the new location:
*# ln -s **/home/trunk/Common_Data/mysql /var/lib/mysql
*Restart the server:
*# service mysql start*

I could, however, ssh in from another computer on my network, kill X and everything would be fine again. What worked around the problem was reverting to the Mandrake drivers for the video card. First time after rebooting it ran for a month without any problems. A power surge and a slow to react UPS caused a reboot otherwise I believe it would have run much longer. Another thing I've read is that if you do choose to use the nVidia drivers you much disable the frame buffer. I believe that will eliminate the problem.

I think you'll find that the C82 (or probably any Epson; this is my second one) will work very well with 9.1. That's what I'm running. Mandrake will know what it is and configure it for you, although you can specify quality settings at various levels of detail and expertise (in printerdrake in mcc) if you wish. Mine cost about $100.

You haven't had any updates in the last month or so remove most of KDE, without asking? Remove other files, links, and even directories, without askin? Not one single time. I wouldn't unless I used options that allowed urpmi to go through doing it's thing without asking me what I want it to do when there's a problem. This is exactly why I use the options that I use. I reserve the option of using more drastic measures to get the job done. I don't always, and should not always, use those measures. Let me say it again. When you run the command above it will try to install the packages. If it runs into a dependency it can't resolve it asks me if I want to try to install the offending package without checking for dependencies. I say yes or no depending on what the package is and what the possible effects would be of allowing it to do so. If I say no it exits. If I say yes it then tries to install the packages without checking for dependencies. If it still cannot do it because of a conflict with an already installed package it asks if I want to force the install. I again have the option of saying Y or n. If I say no it exits. If I say yes it installs the package without checking anything. It forces it to install without any regard for breaking dependencies or conflicting with existing packages. So I ask again, why do you believe that usin --allow-force and --allow-nodeps regularly is a good idea? I'm sure you know what you're doin, but IMO, it's dangerous, and could be misconstrued by a lot of newbie cookers as a good thing to do regularly. It's not. It's not even a good thing to do in the few cases it's needed. Better to switch mirrors, get the src.rpm and rebuild it, or wait till the problem is fixed in cooker and/or on the mirrors. I believe since cooker unfroze shortly after 9.1 release, I've needed/used either --allow option all of about twice. And then just waitin a day or so for new updates on the mirrors would've made --allow-* unnecessary. used absentmindedly. You have to think about what you are doing when you add that extra option (-f). I was referring to the rm command. I have. I added it a long time ago when the mirrors were worse than they are now. It only gets the synthesis.hdlist download (a few extra seconds), needed or not. I did it because the hdlist wasn't being updated even tho the one in ../base on the mirror was newer.

By default urpmi exit immediately in such case. --allow-force Allow urpmi to ask user to continue installation using no depen- dencies checking or forced installation due to error. By default urpmi exit immediately in such case. Alias or not, these are the actions of those options. Bet your life on it Brant? My money's on HarM ;) Absolutely. I use that command every time I want to upgrade. I may not be a rocket scientist, but I know when I'm asked a question during an upgrade or install. urpmi --allow-force --allow-nodeps --auto-select Will allow packages to be updated, and --ALLOW it without checking for dependencies, and will --ALLOW replacement of files and directories. I know it's supposed to ask, but it doesn't always, _if_ you include force. IE, (from man urpmi) --force Assumes yes on all questions. ~ --allow-force Allow urpmi to ask user to continue installation using no dependencies checking or forced installation due to error. By default urpmi exit immediately in such case. Often as not it Assumes yes on all questions, or just exits doin nothing. The first case can be a disaster, the second case a waste of time and bandwidth. These options should not be used except in rare cases. Nor should they with 'rpm'. --force is good for re-installing already installed rpms of the exact same version/ patch level, to correct links and files. --nodeps is fine after the rpm packager admits a fsck'up in his/her %requires, and/or package and says it's no problemo. YMMV, stick around, you'll see ; alias safety nets have got nothin to do with it. (_Don't_ use the --force, Luke ;) Anyway, ya just gotta ask yourself why t'hell you would want, or would need to regularly update everything with force an nodeps in the first place (?) Specially cooker Better to go gently thru the night Is anyone reading my posts? urpmi -v --auto-select --allow-nodeps --allow-force --no-verify-rpm At what point in the previous line did I include --force? I didn't. There's a very good reason I didn't. Why? Because I don't want it to force an install without asking me first. I though I made this pretty clear. Let me say it again. When you run the command above it will try to install the packages. If it runs into a dependency it can't resolve it asks me if I want to try to install the offending package without checking for dependencies. I say yes or no depending on what the package is and what the possible effects would be of allowing it to do so. If I say no it exits. If I say yes it then tries to install the packages without checking for dependencies. If it still cannot do it because of a conflict with an already installed package it asks if I want to force the install. I again have the option of saying Y or n. If I say no it exits. If I say yes it installs the package without checking anything. It forces it to install without any regard for breaking dependencies or conflicting with existing packages. I'm not crazy. I know when I'm asked a question during an update. I have had to do it twice in the last couple of days when upgrading a cooker box. As to the remark about the safety net rm -i is aliased to rm so that you have to explicitly state that you don't want to be asked for each deletion by using rm -f. It *is* a safety net. It is a workaround for a bad design. The same goes for mv and cp. It forces you to go through extra effort to do something that is quite powerful and can be very destructive when used absentmindedly. You have to think about what you are doing when you add that extra option (-f).

I'm beginning to thing I need something even less than 68, what do other folk use ? John 72 And do you think that works well? 72 characters is still quite wide , isn't it. It means that by the time 3 or 4 replies to a list question is applied the wrap has become quite small . I know that ought not to matter since the auto wrap shortens it for you provided that it was all one continuous stream in the first place. But if you are like me you sometimes unintentionally , return to stop the composer carrying on out of sight of the composer window. So you say widen the composer window, but a composer window set to 72 characters to display all without it disappearing of the screen to the right is quite a wide window.

However, it didn't show up in 1.4. On a hunch (due to what you wrote here) I decided to check the older version of Mozilla (1.1) that came with MD 9.1 (I installed 1.4 in a different directory). Anyway, I ran M1.1 and there it was. I either need to figure out how to point the spell checker to the 1.4 directory or remove 1.1. I opted to install 1.4 in a separate directory for two reasons: 1. I heard that some programs use some of Mozillas files and some do not like it when they ar updated. I elected to leave 1.1 intact. 2. I didn't know where it was anyway. Thanks Russ My Mozilla 1.1 is in /usr/bin - just checked it and, yes, the spellchecker is there! My Mozilla 1.4 is in /usr/local/mozilla, which is where the instructions told me to put it, but has no spellchecker. Urpmi has added the spellchecker to the wrong mozilla. How do we unravel this? Is it safe to remove all the mozilla files from /usr/bin? If I do that, and then redo urpmi mozilla-spellchecker, will urpmi be able to find the new mozilla in /usr/local/mozilla? Or do I have to then relocate the new mozilla to /usr/bin? I don't know enough about this!

Did you install a kernel capable of using that much memory when you did your upgrade? I believe you need to do the initial install with the standard kernel and then, afterwards, you can install the Enterprise Kernel to take advantage of the extra RAM. You need to specify a lower amount of RAM to do the initial install or it will not work. Once you have upgraded the kernel you can then specify the new (larger) amount of RAM, re-install your nVidia drivers, if that is what you used, and you're off to the races.

You can mount them to any directory on the machine. I chose to mount them to /drive2 and /drive3. Very late last night I found them problem. It matches up perfectly with what Tom suggested. diskdrake never made the conversion from reiserfs to xfs, it only changed the fstab entries. So Mandrake was trying to the mount reiserfs formatted drives as if they were xfs formatted drives. You can imagine how well that worked. I mounted them as reiserfs and found that they were still working as reiser. I then unmounted them, after recovering the data that was on them, and manually created the xfs partition using mkfs -t xfs -f /dev/hdg1 for drive2 and mkfs -t xfs -f /dev/hdh1 for drive3.

There are still some issues I'm experiencing. One is the timezone drift in kde's clock - my time zone is 5 hours off. I have retried the fix multiple times with no luck. The best approach seems to be to restart KDE. It is getting better. With the last urpmi, it lasted nearly the whole weekend and then all of a sudden it's five hours off. It thinks I'm in SSY+ time now. If I try to adjust it the closest I can get to my time zone is your time zone :). Maybe I should move to Texas? :) ;) I think I got that one reported to Cooker bugzilla recently. Still, it's a relatively minor bug. The OS time is correct so I'm not worried. I just have to glance at my watch every time I see the clock on screen and say oh yeah'. with 512MB DDR 419, Cas2.5, R/C 2, preCh 2, 2-bank. I don't have or need a printer. I highly suggest you read this site, Then you might not have noticed bug #2, which I think is a show stopper. I can't print. Printing here results in launching a Perl process (used to be parallel:/dev/lp1, there also was a 'gs' process) that will just eat all RAM swap. Since you have 512 megs of RAM yours might not fall over like mine, but there's no indication that the Perl is not requesting infinite memory. the install. When it tried to detect my printer (Brother MFC4800), which is not supported by Linux yet, it displayed a message that it was unable to find printer.rpm and stopped That's been reported and is repeatable. The error message is a dialog box complaining about some missing printer-utils RPM. The bad news is that holds up the install. The good news is that you can shutdown and restart into a clean upgrade (more or less) at that point. I haven't made interim ISOs so have no idea if an upgrade install addresses the problem. I've been doing interim urpmi.update's on a regular basis, at least twice a week. Also, noatun and kaboodle no longer function. They haven't for some time. OK, so there are other sound programs to use. Then there are the random unexplained seg faults in konqueror, and in k3b (coastered cds.) LX brought this up last weekend: How are you supposed to be able to make a boot disk in cooker 9.2? The kernel image is too damned big! Most of this admittedly belongs on cooker's list but I haven't subscribed to it. I subscribed to changelog though. The OP should look at qa.mandrakesoft.com. The Cooker howto (while useful) really doesn't address the OP's issues with it. Mirrors have been screwed up lately, but since Sat. (8/23) they're in order again. OTOH, RC1 was due last Friday. Look for it Hmm. Well, I'm just running another urpmi.update -a urpmi --auto-select just for good measure. to come out very soon (probly why the mirrors were froze ;) ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-iso/i586 I suspect if you update to current, you'll have RC1 RC1 is out? (yum) You didn't say anything about your hardware, other than your tree killer ; Some things like nforce2 chipsets have issues. Mine's rock solid.

You get the picture. In order for that to work, a couple things have to happen: (1) the host you are connecting to has to be configured to allow X11 forwarding. This is set up in the sshd config file in /etc (sorry, I'm having system trouble at the moment and don't have it installed, but I think it is called sshd_config.) The default value is no, i.e., do not allow X tunneling. (2) you need to make your ssh connection so as to request X forwarding. With the Linux ssh client, this is done with ssh -X -l userid host. I was assuming, possibly incorrectly, that they were using Mandrake on both ends.
