After starting ROOT, need to check that it can make plot windows. In root, run this command to open up a new window.

root [0] TCanvas c

If on starting matlab, you get this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Set this environment variable.

$ export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"

Matlab should then start ok.

To run a kickstart installation for RHEL6, boot as usual. At the window “Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0”, select “Install or upgrade an existing system”. Press the tab key to stop the boot process. You should be presented with a prompt that looks like this:

> vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img

Add your kickstart information to the end of this prompt. So, it should look something like this:

> vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img linux ks=http://rhel6.example.com/ks/cfg/org/24/label/kickstart_file 
ip=192.168.4.45 
netmask=255.255.255.0 
gateway=192.168.4.1 
dns=192.168.5.14

A student wanted the latest version of ROOT added to the ups database. The software was already installed in /cdf/code/cdfsoft/root, but didn’t show up with ups list -a root. To fix this, I became the owner of all our cdf software and ran the following command:

ups declare root v_5_22_00j -r root/v5_22_00j-GCC_3_4_6/Linux+2.6 -f Linux+2 -z /cdf/code/cdfsoft/products/upsdb -m root.table -q GCC_3_4_6

It took a few times to get this correct. If you make a mistake you can run the undeclare command, or even easier, just delete the file in /cdf/code/cdfsoft/products/upsdb/root/v_5_22_00j and then run the declare command again.

All the software is installed in /cdf/code/cdfsoft/products. Then look in root/v5_22_00j-GCC_3_4_6 to find that version. The important bit for ups is the table file, which in this case is in /cdf/code/cdfsoft/products/root/v5_22_00j-GCC_3_4_6/Linux+2.6/ups/root.table.

[/ups]$ more root.table 
File    = table
Product = root

Group:

  Flavor     = ANY
  Qualifiers = "GCC_3_4_6"

  Flavor     = ANY
  Qualifiers = "GCC_3_4_6:debug"

  Flavor     = ANY
  Qualifiers = "64bit:GCC_3_4_6"

  Flavor     = ANY
  Qualifiers = "64bit:GCC_3_4_6:debug"

Common:
  Action = setup
    setupEnv()
    prodDir()
    envSet(ROOTSYS,${UPS_PROD_DIR});
    envPrepend(LD_LIBRARY_PATH,${ROOTSYS}/lib)
    envPrepend(PYTHONPATH,${ROOTSYS}/lib)
    pathPrepend(PATH,${ROOTSYS}/bin)
End:

This is the file that lists the flavor and qualifiers that must be used when declaring the version.

Whenever the xemacs package is installed, also be sure to install xemacs-packages-extra. This sets up things like syntax-highlighting and other stuff that people put in their init files.

Error message looked like this:

[~]# yum -y upgrade
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30977) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30977)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

Fix:

[ ~]# rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*
[ ~]# rpm -rebuilddb
[ ~]# yum clean all

Commands I’m always looking up.

mysql> update users set role='admin' where id=2;

mysql> select * from users;
