http://bugs.mysql.com/ is relevant I suppose?


Yeah, and I found my bug:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=61991

Reported two years ago. Even though someone kindly provided a patch, it  
still hasn't been applied.


And some wonder why mysql is stagnating.

I think there are repair tools of some sort on the XP source disk, which 
you must have. Those will undoubtedly remove the
Linux booter, which you can replace with your Linux Live disk. Probably 
the quickest and simplest way.

Ok, so where do mysql bugs go, these days?

2013-05-19 Thread Sam Varshavchik

So, I've been tearing apart mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.11-1.fc18.x86_64

And I've tracked down some horrible breakage there that needs to be fixed  
upstream.


Given the state of mysql in the distro, and the pending move to mariadb,  
I'm wondering where the best place to report this bug would be. I find  
nothing but Oracle's bureaucratease, when I try to dig around mysql.com.

Agreed, though I'd argue the "foreign" part is minimal or negligble.  kde 
(with oxygen-gtk style) works hard to provide good integration for gtk 
applications.

please do share (either your workaround here), or (preferred) a bug report, 
as already suggested by others.

This really should all "just work".  (gnome-kerying applications generally 
do "just work" on kde in my experience, anything else is a bug... somewhere)

Re: FC18 Installation: No X comes

2013-05-19 Thread j.halifax2
Hello Harald,



Thank you for your kind help.




FC18 has a completly rewritten grub and behaves strange way.

Sometimes the USB stik boots, other time the same one doesn't. 

I haven't got any option in anaconda what to choose. When I finally

got FC18 installed only multiuser target came as there was de.mo 

missing. I had to copy it from other place, install "Basic X Window 

System" and "GNOME Desktop" and then I could run startx. ;)




When I link the GUI as a default target, the one-color screen comes

with can be switched for 4 working spaces. Right click gives some

functions, some of them works, others don't. Probably also some

installations are needed. Hopefully the FC19 will be more mature. ;)




Thank you so much !

jh

what is a "switchable workspace"?

most likely you are missing the display-manager
but we do not know which DE you use (GNOME, KDE..)

on KDE systems (i do not use anything else)
systemctl enable kdm.service
systemctl start kdm.service

what i do not understand is why you do a MINIMAL install instead
select your prefrerred desktop from the very begin in anaconda
to be installed.."

If only.  I recently spent about a day figuring out why evolution
wouldn't send emails on a KDE desktop.  The reason is a disagreement
between evolution, gnome-keyring, and the KDE infrastructure.  I have a
workaround but no fix.

only if you are doing "grub2-install /dev/sda; grub2-install /dev/sdb" or 
whatever are
your drives because if not and the one disk with the bootloader dies you have 
not
a bootable system which perverts the goal of a raid-system

that's why you should always test if your setups are working like expected
in case of RAID1 /boot by remove one disk, look if it boots, resync raid
after connect the removed disk and then the same for the other one

in case of RAID10 setups i have on all 4 disks a /boot RAID1 and on every disk 
is grub
installed and this makes sure that it does not matter which disk dies which is 
hardly
important in case of remote systems

and if you refresh GRUB at any time with grub2-install also do not forget the 
other disks

none of them

never ever on more than 20 setups over more than 7 years
any kernel update with yum did touch the grub2.conf

in every case the params of the running kernel where taken
for the new one by grubby

If you don't have an mdadm.conf, the device naming starts from /dev/md127 
and works backwards. The livecd won't have you mdadm.conf file so you 
will get a name similar to this. Note that it won't necessarily be the

If you just lost one device from a raid 1 array, you should be able to

I use this command to reattach partition to array:

mdadm /dev/mdX -a /dev/sdXY

which I think is equivalent to yours.
