Fedora Too Old: Yum: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try

Im still using Fedora 15 for my workstation.

It’s totally out of support since …ago. Yum always fail.

 

Im trying to install gdal:

but installation is not so smoothly togo

An easy workaround is google/rpmpbone

google “netcdf-4.1.1-6.fc15.i686”, it will direct to page:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/16958906/dir/fedora_15/com/netcdf-4.1.1-6.fc15.i686.rpm.html
same options on the rest RPMs.

 

# finally.

闻一知十

今天读 桓谭新论。 启窹篇。

昔颜渊有高妙次圣之才,闻一知十。
颜渊所有命短,慕孔子所以殇其年也。
东鄙语云: 人闻长安乐,则出门西向而笑;知肉味美,则对屠门而大嚼。

然后写下来。

其实没多少人读,如果这几天不小心谁来看过,也就看过了。

这段日志记下来,是在服务器搬家后。 这以后 这些日志也许就能正常访问了。

两个域名都已经被墙,然后什么也做不了,就藏着吧。

以贤代贤

今读《恒谭新论》求辅篇。

有一惑:

于另本如下

其直”代”、“伐” 分别

代、伐 两字 字义同乎,是依代讳伐之谓? 徜是如此,是战国“以攻伐为贤”,是而贤者伐暴乱而代之为贤。贤代贤又如何谓之顺?何则贤而暴乱更替不断?“烦”其妙不可言。

又,何谓之“乱”。其 治乱不分, 而或不辨不肖之徒所征伐代替者,乱矣。或言,以不肖犯贤者,谓之乱。以不肖代不肖,亦如是。

A Best Practice to Prepare EL6 Linux for Oracle RDBMS Installation

following is not a guide to install RDBMS, but a quick environment preparation before that.
this text works on both Linux/Windows host.

0. to setup Oracle RDBMS 12c on EL6.3 vbox.  for testing purpose.

1. prepare virtualbox.
setup a new linux machine, with harddisk 40G,  network using NAT.

2. attach image on CD. boot
OracleLinux-R6-U3-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso

3. install option.
a) using the full disk, using default dynamic lv settings(means you can adjust disk sizes whenever you want)
b) install option: Desktop (or you may have to using vnc or inst other Xwindow options if you choose “Database Server”).
c) reboot after installation. using account: oracle/oracle

4.  we need to manually install vboxtools (for a better display and operation experience enhancement)
before that we need to :

5.   keep the sys image mount.  manually install kernel-uek-devel, the # should be the same to your currently running version.

6.  check your yum repo setting. (you need uln repo, or simple public-yum is ok)
or you have to manually install dependency in the package folder.
# yum install gcc

7.  detach the sys-image. choose “Install Guest Additions”
run as prompt, or in cmd.

8.  ignore following warning, as the package already re-named to kernel-uek-devel

9. about the necessary packages you can use following cmd:

10. choosing “System”->”Preference”->”Startup Applications”
remove item “PackageKit Update Applet” , so that you should update your pkgs whenever you want and need.
remove any other items you dont like.

11. disable SELinux and firewall.
edit /etc/selinux/config  to –>”disabled”
system-config-firewall  –> “Disable”

12. let eth0 connect automatically.
either 1) using desktop network-manager, edit connection–>eth0–> connect automatically.
or 2) edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
add following like:  “ONBOOT=yes”

reboot the node.

F.  setups already done.  you can now following guide to complete the installation
