similar to: CentOS 5 and Java

strugging with things here... tried tracking the info on the Wiki (which apparently is now in need of a maintainer)... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS My primary interest is using Xalan/Saxon/xslt/xsl-fo docbook generation. I was thinking that all I really need is jre but downloaded both jre and jdk just in case. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (after removing both jdk

Hey, y'all. I don't know how many folks here are familiar with a blogging program called 'pebble' http://pebble.sourceforge.net, but it's *supposed* to be an easy drop-in to a tomcat5 container. I suppose that it is, once I figured out how to get tomcat 5 working in CentOS 5, but I'm still having problems with the java. CentOS comes with Java 1.4.2, but I need Java

Hi, On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in console mode. However, I tried this on my minimal CentOS 5 install, and right after GRUB, the screen just blanks. I add that this (test) machine ran maybe a

Hi, I have CentOS 5 with the XFCE-4.4 window manager installed. (BTW, I've tried many XFCE-centered distros before, and CentOS offers by far the cleanest implementation). Two questions for that. 1) I've seen various HOWTO's about how to display Samba shares with the Thunar file manager. Did anyone manage to do this with CentOS? 2) Is there some HOWTO about configuring that nice

Hi, Here's my video card: $ lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3) Until now, I've used it on Slackware (10.0, 10.2, 11.0) and Debian (Sarge, Etch), and I've always managed to set it up fine. First, I checked if there were any precompiled nvidia drivers in the various repos (rpmforge, ...), but there seemed to

Hi, I have CentOS 5 installed, and I'd like to read the RHEL 5 Deployment Guide in french. The online version seems to be available in english only. There's an RPM package on my system: # rpm -qa | grep -i depl Deployment_Guide-fr-FR-5.0.0-19.el5.centos Deployment_Guide-en-US-5.0.0-19.el5.centos Now what does the package consist of? 'rpm -ql' on the package shows a series of

Hi, I'm currently reading chapter 13 of the RHEL Deployment Guide, and taking some notes. I have a few minor questions: /etc/sysconfig/network According to the doc: "This file specifies routing and host information for all network interfaces." Here's how mine looks like: --8<----------------- NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=fujitsu.zuhause

Hi, I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB is also installed on the Debian side. On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is: hdb1 -> swap hdb2 -> /boot, ext2 hdb3 -> / , ext3 After

Hi, One nice thing I have with Debian is the possibility to have a really stripped-down install of things. Let's take an example. I want a cholesterol-free install of GNOME, I 'apt-get install gnome-core' which gives me the bare working minimum of GNOME as a starting point, and then I install what I really need. The same thing applies for KDE, with 'apt-get install

Hi, I'm a 40-year old sysadmin living in Montpezat, a small village in the sunny south of France. I'm a Linux user since 2001, when I made my first steps on a 486 with a Slackware 7.1 CD. I've tried maybe two dozen distributions, but I've stayed mostly with Slackware and Debian. Since last summer, I work as a sysadmin for our "Communaut? de Communes", a group of 16

Hmmm, I seemed to have created a misalignmnet somewhere along the line. I can't remember doing anything to this. But at one time I did try to test the java open source. Posted my results to the list, got no response, abandoned all hope and went on my merry way. I don't know if this is related. I have installed an rpm for a java needed by an application I run. It was from the official

Hi, The subject says it all. I'm currently fiddling with CentOS to become comfortable with it. Starting from a minimal system (everything unchecked during install), I wanted to have a reasonable set of build tools. Roughly the equivalent of Debian's 'apt-get install build-essential'. I tried yum groupinstall "Development Tools", which resulted in a total of 108 MB

Hi, Once I'm working with Yum, can i safely remove pirut? cheers, Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

I lost my harddrive, and have had to reinstall. This time, I am being a bit smarter on imaging, but still got to get things installed... Installing Freemind. It needs Java JRE. So after lots of pain, and reading past messages, I got jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.rpm from sun and installed it. Then I tried to follow Jim Perrin's recommendation to install from jpackage.org the

Have the jpackage-packaged things like tomcat5 been moved into the disto repositories? Do they work with sun java? In particular, tomcat5 used to require jta. The one yum installs doesn't mention it now, but it also doesn't work with sun java 1.5 installed the jpackage way. What am I missing? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers is needed by package java-1.4.2-gcj-compat I'm digging all over the place for this one. Has anyone a clue?? When I use: yum whatprovides /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers it returns: jpackage-utils.noarch : JPackage utilities I've installed this from several sources. Nothing seems to provide the rebuild thing. I've used

For the people who are currently interested in java as it relates to centos now that Sun has GPL'd java there are some things to be aware of. The folks at jpackage.org are pretty much all over this development but it's not the bright shiny news everyone has made it out to be. Sun did a very good thing by moving java under the GPL, and they should be commended for FINALLY seeing the light

Johnny, Thought I'd try these out for you. Looks like a prerequisite is missing? yum --enablerepo=c5-testing install java-1.6.0-openjdk\* <snip the usual gobbledygook> 330 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
