Let's go back a bit. When you installed 8.0 did you have an ethernet cable plugged into your machine (using the onboard ethernet plug and not the PCI card) and did you have a running network available? For example -- was there a gateway device that could be pinged at install time? The answer to the existing network question is yes. I have a Linksys firewall/vpn router/gateway, which also serves as my DHCP server. All of this was live when I installed RH 8.0. In fact, I only installed the PCI card *after* several unsuccessful tries with the on-board controller. If so, the anaconda installer should have detected your networking, loaded the right driver for the ethernet controller, and brought you to a screen asking for the IP address of the machine and IP addresses representing the gateway IP, and the DNS server IP. Did this happen? My guess is you didn't have the machine connected to your network. So the installer skipped the network setup. But the reality is Anaconda did not. I re-installed twice just to be sure. That means to me that the Ethernet controller's driver did NOT load properly, because there was, indeed, a working network. In addition, there actually does not need to be a network running - only a network card. You can configure a static address on an Ethernet controller with no cable plugged in. I've done this many, many times. A Link-down state on an Ethernet controller will not stop the driver from loading. Even so, the state on the controller should have been Link-up. Also, were you asked to select a firewall security level? It is very possible that you turned on the default firewall and it is blocking ethernet packets, making you think the hardware is not working. Because I already have a hardware firewall, I set my security level to no firewall. What does running 'ifconfig' show you? Do you see output for eth0 and/or eth1? My ifconfig for eth0 shows a working connection and also shows that the device eth1 does not exist. PS -- when you post to this list, can you do that in plain text. Sure I can. Note, your last post was also in HTML - I reformatted your message. So many people post here in HTML it seems odd that I would be singled out though. My XE settings just default to it.

StarOffice 6.0 broken?
I just now tried to install StarOffice 6.0 for Linux from Sun's official media kit. Installation went smoothly, but when you run it it get past the Splash screen with no problem, but became stuck in a loop forever before it loads an application. Running strace shows it is doing something over and over again. CPU usage is near zero when it gets stuck in this loop. Anyone else had this problem? I figured I could simply copy all the fonts and templates from StarOffice 6.0 into OpenOffice in order to have full functionality. I found the fonts, but I couldn't find the SO6 Presentation templates. Anyone know where these are located?
nautilus begone!
I'm just trying RHL8.0 for the first time today. I'm a kind of easy going guy: I usually accept whatever GUI Red Hat nominates (since RHL4.x, if I remember correctly). Then I fiddle with it a bit. Perhaps superstitiously, I feel that Nautilus weighs down a system. So I like to eliminate it from the startup. In particular, I don't need the three icons on the desktop: Hugh's Home, Start Here, and Trash, each run by Nautilus. I'm guessing that Nautilus would then only appear when summoned (rarely, in my case). Attempt 1: I deleted the files with these names from ~/.gnome-desktop/. This (or something else I did at the same time) caused the menubar to become unstable, so I tried to undo the damage. Undoing the damage: shut down X rm -rf ~/.[a-zA-Z]* cp -a /etc/skel ~ restart X Attempt 2: search for a way to use the GUI to get rid of these desktop artifacts. - right click on them yields no affordance - right click on desktop ditto - right click on panel only deals with panel - only menu item that seems relevant: gnome menu: preferences: control center + interestingly, this is run by the nemesis (Nemo?), Nautilus. + the only likely item here is "extras", and within that "sawfish window manager" (I did look at everything else) + every button in "sawfish window manager" is useless. The only action I can get out of them is a BEEP. Good diagnostic! I notice on the text console (by using C-A-F1): error: can't connect to socket /tmp/.sawfish-hugh/redsky.mimosa.com:0:0 + I don't even know if I'm running sawfish. How am I (a dumb user) supposed to know? (It doesn't show up with ps. I'm guessing metacity is doing that job. No man page for it.) Where am I supposed to control what's on the desktop?

Re: Has this Nasty Little Issue been fixed in 8.0
Indeed, however what happened from what I could gather from digging around mail archives. Is that the default was safe, with the 2.4.18-3 kernel. However support was "added" by 2.4.18-10.athlon (the updated 7.3 kernel via up2date) which was incomplete, and caused data corruption. There was a discussion of the way it was added in the Valhalla mailing list in July, which indicated it was added in an incomplete manner, and thus introduced the issue. Further, the beta 2.4.19 Red Hat kernels would also cause the data corruption, despite the fact that kernels built from 2.4.19 sources did not, because Red Hat had ported their changes to IDE in 2.4.18 to the 2.4.19 kernel. - Original Message - From: "Jim Hayward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 10:58 PM Subject: Re: Has this Nasty Little Issue been fixed in 8.0 On Wed, 2002-10-02 at 21:13, D.

hwbrowser crashes on dell i8100
Hello. I have installed psyche on 3 pc's up to now and on 2 of them (including a dell i7000) hwbrowser works perfectly. But on a dell i8100 laptop it crashes everytime. I get the following message in the terminal: (DeviceList.py:1165): GnomeCanvas-CRITICAL **: file gnome-canvas-path-def.c: line 1142 (gnome_canvas_path_def_any_closed): assertion `path != NULL' failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 203, in ? reread_device_type_list () File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 150, in reread_device_type_lis t list.set (iter, 0, hardware.get_category_string (key), 1, key) File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 91, in get_category_string return self.type_mapping[key] KeyError: 20 The lines: (DeviceList.py:1165): GnomeCanvas-CRITICAL **: file gnome-canvas-path-def.c: line 1142 (gnome_canvas_path_def_any_closed): assertion `path != NULL' failed are first repeated about 10 times (and are also seen when shutting down X). I compared the files "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py" on the 3 different PC's but the one on the i8100 did not differ from the others. Anybody else see something like this? Could I be missing some python thingy somewhere on the i8100 or is this failure of hwbrowser hardware related? Alexander

Um, this is not "Red Hat behaviour". If CompUSA decides that they wont stock 8.0 until 7.3 stock is sold, that is their own business. Red Hat most certainly did not tell them they can't have 8.0. Think about how stupid that sounds? If the scenario above occurs, then tell CompUSA that you wont shop there if they don't provide the software that you want to have, and that you want 8.0, and you consider _their_ behaviour to be unacceptable. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Red Hat. >i'm hoping the compusa experience described above is an >aberration, but if this is typical, i'm not going to be shelling >out any more money for boxed sets. until now, i've *always* >purchased an official set to support red hat, but if this is the >sort of strong-arming we can expect, no more. I really don't understand how you can think in any way that this is a Red Hat induced problem. Red Hat wants to sell our products, and that means everywhere we possibly can. It would be absurd to prevent people from selling 8.0 until they sell older versions. Just think about how much economical sense that makes? The above artificial store conversation almost certainly was a discussion between a CompUSA store and their upstream, not Red Hat. If you wish to no longer purchase the boxed set, at least do it for a valid reason, not because some store purposefully chooses not to stock it. -- Mike A.

a few observations on psyche installation
a few (some nitpicky) observations regarding installing psyche on an inspiron 8100: 1) as with previous versions of red hat, when i manually partition with disk druid and choose to keep the same partitioning, i get a warning dialog about disk geometry but am told that i'm safe to "ignore" this warning. amusingly, i have to press "ignore" *twice* to get past this dialog. i did another install, just to convince myself that pressing it once just left the dialog there, while the second button press finally made it go away. not serious, just weird. 2) disk druid *still* does not accept mount points that contain a period, even though those are perfectly valid mount points. that issue was bugzilla'ed long ago -- is there a reason it's still an issue? 3) upon exit, the installation process still generates a slew of anaconda errors, line 107. while i'm sure that errors like this upon exit from the install won't cause any problems, it's just really aesthetically unappealing, and may make new red hat users very nervous that they've done something wrong. again, this was bugzilla'ed quite some time ago, yet is still there. rday

Re: VMware having problems
I've had this problem on VMware Workstation since the (Null) beta. I was hoping it would be fixed by the time 8.0 came out, but it has not. The problem doesn't seem to be much more than an annoyance because my VM seems to survive it OK. I would like to know what the problem is, who is responsible for fixing it and when a patch might be issued. I was told that Red Hat and VMware are working on the problem.

I updated to the latest VMware Workstation on the one, but that didn't fix it. I tried shutting off write caching on the other, but that didn't fix it.

Instalation bugs
Hi, 1) I selected custom install and I manually partitioned my hardrive, I have the following partitions in my notebooks hardrive: /boot, /opt, /home, /var and /, since I'd like to preserve my personal files at /home, software I installed manually like Oracle, Acrobat and Rational Rose at /opt, my mysql/postgresql/bind databases at /var, I selected to keep them untouched by Disk Druid. After the installation finished I found out that the installation preserved my databases but it trashed the RPM database keeping the information from the previous installation. Is this the expected behaviour ? What would I do with the duplicate entries in the RPM database ? 2) I noticed that a bug I reported in limbos mailing list is still showing up: the installation asks me if I want to create a boot disk, even though I don't have a floppy drive. If I select YES, the installation hangs. (yes I know that I can skip this step selecting NO) I'm just trying to come up with how could I create a boot disk even if I don't have a floppy drive ? -- Best Regards, Alessandro Oliveira Nuno Ferreira Cargas Internacionais Ltda.
