Re: TeXLive 2011 repo
Hi,
It was a very, very simple code, just to test if everything was ok:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{palatino,url}
\begin{document}
\section*{My first document}
This is a short example of a \LaTeX\ document I wrote
on \today. It shows a few simple features of automated
typesetting, including
\begin{itemize}
\item setting the default font size to 12pt;
\item specifying ‘article’ type for formatting;
\item using the Palatino typeface;
\item adding special formatting for URIs;
\item formatting a heading in ‘section’ style;
\item using the \LaTeX\ logo;
\item generating today’s date;
\item formatting a list of items;
\item centering and italicizing;
\item autonumbering the pages.
\end{itemize}
\subsection*{More information}
This example was taken from ‘Formatting Information’,
which you can download from
\url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/beginlatex/}
and use as a teach-yourself guide.

If you are using SL6 and the NetworkManager: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=829499 If you're using NetworkManager for *anything* on a server, don't. It's fragile and destabilizing. Its main use is in highly dynamic environments, such as laptops hopping from access point to network to VPN to local wire connection to modem to who knows what. I find it safest to simply delete it, but if you've software that demands NetworkManager, use /sbin/chkconfig off NetworkManager to disable it and put 'NM_CONTROLLED=no' in your /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-* files to block it, even if it's accidentally run.

Scientific Linux 6.3 Release Candidate 2 i386/x86_64 is now available for testing
Release Notes for Scientific Linux 6.3 Release Candidate 2 If no major bugs are reported by August 8th this Release Candidate will be released as Scientific Linux 6.3. Send comments/issues/test reports to scientific-linux-de...@fnal.gov during our pre-release period Major Differences from SL6.2 Added/Changed: OpenAFS Updated to version 1.6.1-112.sl6 Additionally, this packages has been patched to disable NAT pings. This patch avoids a race condition with the NAT ping functionality. External Repositories for yum The yum-conf-rpmfusion has been added by popular request. End users must verify their own eligibility and license compliance before use. yum-conf-sl6x Updated GPG key list, CERN's key is now listed here too redhat-logos Now provides 'linux-logos' xorg-x11-server Changed to remove TUV's support URL sl-indexhtml Updated Swedish translation by Alexander Lindqvist sl-bookmarks Now includes links to useful non-SL provided resources SL_enable_serialconsole Augeas is now used for setting up the initial configuration The rpm now removes the serial configuration when uninstalled Now uses 'conflict' to ensure only one version installed at a time The end result should be identical to the previous script The old configuration script can be found in the %doc folder /usr/share/SL_enable_serialconsole*/OLDSCRIPT revisor Support has been added for the upstream changes in anaconda. The 'beta' release notice can now be turned on or off depending on your needs. sl-revisor-configs The kickstart files provided have been renamed for simplicity. We've also added a script for making an updated disc, containing all the current published errata Removed: libproxy-mozjs Requires an old version of xulrunner, upstream bug 797779. We have removed it for now, when an updated package is released we expect to build it. If you need this package you can pull it from 6.2 libvirt-qpid Requires an old version of qpid-cpp-client, upstream bug 839006 We have removed it for now, when an updated package is released we expect to build it. If you need this package you can pull it from 6.2 sanlock and tboot Upstream only features these packages on x86_64, previously they were in both arches. If upstream returns support for these in the i686 tree, we expect to package them again.

A pair bond configured correctly in failover mode, mode=1, will handle this perfectly and will handle simutaneous *live* network connections, so you get failover. But NetworkManager, and the GUI's tied to it, don't correctly handle pair bonding or the options necessary to set it up, at least in my experience up to and including SL 6.2 Note 2: SL6 with NM usually survives a network outage, but SL5 without NM does NOT survive long network outages because of a ypbind crash (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717069) ypbind. is its own fascinating and separate issue. But what in intriguing little bug!!!

Well I don't. I find that NetworkManager prevents me from setting up ethernet bridges entirely on SL6 unless I simply turn it off. I had a rough couple of months until I figured that out. My number one (probably _only_) complaint about SL is that NetworkManager is on by default. Come to think of it, it's probably why I couldn't get bonded interfaces to work either -- I should revisit my bonded interfaces project now that I know to disable NetworkManager immediately after every installation. I use SL on some high-end servers. ~ Nathan

Locked door on my dvd player

If I press the eject button on the door, it rattles and clunks, shakes a bit too, but the door does not open. It does open fine in BIOS. If I issue $ eject -v /dev/sr0 it opens beautifully and smoothly. Anyone know what is going on? Is there something in Linux that is holding my DVD player closed? Many thanks, -T
