Hello,

I  tried to install Elog 3.1.4 from rpm on Oracle Linux 9 with command:

sudo dnf localinstall elog-3.1.4-3.el7.x86_64.rpm

But I got error:

Last metadata expiration check: 0:08:06 ago on Thu 02 Feb 2023 10:35:13 CET.
Error:
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libssl.so.10()(64bit) needed by elog-3.1.4-3.el7.x86_64
  - nothing provides libssl.so.10(libssl.so.10)(64bit) needed by elog-3.1.4-3.el7.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Using dnf I installed libssl.so.11 (cannot find version 10) and it doesn't help. So my question is: can I use one of proposes by dnf solution as:

1. --skip-broken
2. --nobest

Does Elog will work stabilityy after that?

Best Regards

Hi Daniel,

The RPM has been build for EL7 so SSL share libs should be different with the one provided by EL9. :-)

Try to rebuild from tarball source with enclosed buildrpm script (or with elog srpms if you find any : rpm -i elog*.src.rpm && vim ~/rpmbuild/SPEC/elog.spec # update build options as SSL/LDAP/PAM... && rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPEC/elog.spec ).

Hi,

Is there a way to export the ELOG entries into a file like an Excel sheet or something.  I see import but not export.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Find -> Export to...

Thanks Stefan for your help.  It works but the only issue is, the screenshots that were included in the body of the entries are not usable.  Not sure if there is any workarounds for that.

Hi,

I'm getting the TEXTSIZE TOO BIG message every time I have more text in my entry.  I understand there is a way to increase the TEXTSIZE and re-compile.  Where can I find the TEXTSIZE parameter that I can increase and also how do I re-compile.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
Illam

Hi,  any help will be appreciated on this.  I have not still figured this out.

Thanks.

Hi Illam,

You can find it in src/elogd.h, #define TEXT_SIZE  250000, the original value 250000, you can change it to a larger one like #define TEXT_SIZE    1000000. Then recompile it again, just need typing "make". Elog Version is 3.1.3 in my site. HTH.

Cheers,
