Core -Language
Environment
Effects
Some LifeKeeper scripts parse the output of Linux system utilities and rely
on certain patterns in order to extract information. When some of these
commands run under non-English locales, the expected patterns are altered
and LifeKeeper scripts fail to retrieve the needed information. For this
reason, the language environment variable LC_MESSAGES has been set
to the POSIX “C” locale (LC_MESSAGES=C) in/etc/default/LifeKeeper. It
is not necessary to install Linux with the language set to English (any
language variant available with your installation media may be chosen); the
setting of LC_MESSAGES in/etc/default/LifeKeeperwill only influence
LifeKeeper. If you change the value of LC_MESSAGES
in/etc/default/LifeKeeper, be aware that it may adversely affect the way
LifeKeeper operates. The side effects depend on whether or not message
catalogs are installed for various languages and utilities and if they produce
text output that LifeKeeper does not expect.
Core -Shutdown
hangs on SLES10
systems
When running shutdown on an AMD64 system with SLES10, the system
locks up and the shutdown does not complete. This has been reported to
Novell via bug #294787. The lockup appears to be caused by the SLES10
powersave package.
Workaround:Remove the SLES10 powersave package to enable
shutdown to complete successfully.
GUI -GUI login
prompt may not re-
appear when
reconnecting via a
web browser after
exiting the GUI
When you exit or disconnect from the GUI applet and then try to reconnect
from the same web browser session, the login prompt may not appear.
Workaround:Close the web browser, re-open the browser and then
connect to the server. When using the Firefox browser, close all Firefox
windows and re-open.
GUI -lkGUIapp on
RHEL5 reports
unsupported theme
errors
When you start the GUI application client, you may see the following
console message:
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:60: Engine "clearlooks" is
unsupported, ignoring
This message comes from the RHEL 5 and FC6 Java platform look and feel
and will not adversely affect the behavior of the GUI client.
