kpackage

I've noticed kpackage is missing from KDE in Redhat 8.0.
Kpackage has more functionality than the new Redhat package manager and 
thus I would like to update KDE to include this package.

RH: Some user feedback

[Bernd Kunze]

Hi,
without bragging, I bought every single version from 3.03 up to 8.0. 
There were up's and down's but
no version before 8.0 left mixed emotions on my end. If I would be 
allowed to voice a wishlist I'd go for:

1. Allow the user to decide about the look of kde/gnome. While I 
congratulate RedHat on the look and
   feel of the UI, I feel I should have a choice here. The unified 
appearal leaves the question about why
   RH puts in KDE and GNOME together and not a mix of both.

2. The menu structure is driving me nuts. Some are in System Settings, 
others in Extras-System Settings.

3. I'd like to vertically maximize my windows.

4. I'd like to choose between metacity and sawfish.

5. The package appears to be incomplete to me, xine and xmms-mp3 are 
missing. I would agree this
   is not an issue with www.freshrpms.net.


Bottom line: while psyche appears to be very pretty there is still some 
grain of salt in it for me. I am not
intending to open a flame war here, really.

Works for me. Maybe just a problem in your area.

$ rsync rsync://rsync.dulug.duke.edu

Description: This is a digitally signed message part

sound recording not working with cmpci

[Emanuel Mair]

I have sound output/playback working fine, but I can't seem to be able
to record anything.
I have tried gnome-sound-recorder and the method described in the
Sound-HOWTO; cat'ing from (and to) /dev/dsp and /dev/audio. I tried with
a microphone attached both to the mic and line-in inputs. Silence.

This is with an on-board CMI 8738 audio controller (cmpci). If it can be
of any help, this is the audio-related stuff put in /etc/modules.conf by
the RH8.0 installer:

alias sound-slot-0 cmpci
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :

(I have no idea what the last two lines are supposed to do...)

What's strange is that the recording input selection in
gnome-volume-control doesn't seem to "stick". I select Line or Mic, but
running gnome-volume-control again shows nothing selected.

Recording works in Windoze, so the hardware seems to be OK.

Any ideas?

Hi Sir
  After reading the klogd man, I see the default limit level value is 7.
  Klogd makes all logging messages below this limit appear to the console.

  At first time, It seemed to me this was the level number I could use for 
the '--log-level level' paramater of the LOG target.

  However, there were no further log message on my /var/log/messages 
afterwards. So I decided to check all possible number from 5 to 7.

  Hups! At level 5, I have been getting some messages on the screen yet.
  Time to increase the level number.

  I'll get the right number soon, I hope.

  Thank you very much for your response.

  Best regards.

I am in agreement here.  To make matters worse the distro is lacking a
menu editing tool, so you're forced to edit things by hand.  This proved
to be a more formidable task than I had originally expected.

Havoc, is there any documentation of the syntax structure of these
.desktop files and how they are supposed to layout within the Red Hat
menu structure?

Is there beta source code existing today of the menu editor?  If so I
will try to make packages of it.

It seems you have misunderstood it. Read "man syslog.conf" on what
gets logged via syslogd and how you can control it.

If you choose a '--log-level level' which is not covered by
/etc/syslog.conf, the netfilter LOG target won't log anything in
/var/log/messages, e.g. for "--log-level debug".

The numerical log priorities are as follows:

  emerg (panic) = 0
  alert = 1
  crit = 2
  err (error) = 3
  warn (warning) = 4
  notice = 5
  info = 6
  debug = 7

If you don't want klogd to copy some log messages onto the console,
you could add an apprioriate option "-c level" to /etc/sysconfig/syslog
and run "service syslog restart". By default it logs priorities
"info" to "emerg". You could change it to "-c 6" and use
"--log-level info" for your iptables script.

Anyone seen my "Q" ??

[Olafur Sigurgeirsson]

I lost the letter "Q" on my keyboard in X.
Its there in run-level 3 and I see it in GDM but as soon as X is up it
does not work. I've edited XF86Config for keyboard type, changed
key-table to almost-everything-except-Klingon and its always the same.
In all lang.this letter is missing, making VI a challenge to use :)

Hi Sir
  I did set up the klogd parameter the way you say to me.
  I haven't been getting any intrusion logging message on 
the /var/log/messages file for the moment, maybe I'll get some tomorrow. 
:o)

  Only one thing: Why didn't this problem occur at all with ipchains ?

The big reason we use it is that it works in character sets other than
ASCII. Zvt doesn't even work in Latin-1.

VTE also uses the new font system and redraws more correctly (fewer
bugs, no flicker).



Its cut & paste seems a clunky, though.  It used to be that you could 
cut & paste newlines, but that doesn't seem to be the case now (at least 
for lines that aren't full - haven't tried with others).  Also, you used 
to be able to single click anywhere in the window and it would cancel 
the selection (without affecting the cut buffe) - now you have to 
highlight & unhighlight something else.  Likewise, select by word 
doesn't wrap around to column 1 when the word crosses the end of the line.

What this all means is that it's very inefficient for working with 
full-time.  I've switched back to xterm, and will learn to live with the 
non-customisable select-by-word boundaries (or rebuild it from source 
sometime :-).

I believe this is when the world runs into problems, when a supplier of

In the real world in should work such that, providing you have licensed

I'm sure here in the UK some laws exist about not been able to refuse to
sell products to some customers and not others...  Not sure if
equivalent laws exist in the US along the anti-trust line of thought.

My company switched to Niku 6[1] as a project management system. It was
almost too good to be true, a web-centric project management system...
In reality it only run on a few Microsoft O/S's, with a very specific
Java runtime and only with Internet Explorer.. Quite a few people ended
up buying second machines just for project management. (although it
would have probably worked within Crossover/VMWare). A decision not
really though out by the people higher up. The decision to switch to
Niku- without radical changes leaves us pretty much committed to
Microsoft as a desktop. [Linux bias aside, I'd try to leave my options
open- especially with tales of companies/governments saving money]

You'll probably find a switch will only be considered on substantial
benefits/cost savings rather than you using RedHat 8.0.

Happier to stick with Solaris on expensive hardware than recycle old
desktops. Unfortunately the people that made decisions were always too
busy to take time out to look at alternatives.

It isn't a standalone app, it's a new version of gnome-vfs2 with the
vfolder backend updated. So download the latest gnome-vfs tarball and
replace it in the SRPM, removing our patches to the vfolder module
that will no longer apply.

It also doesn't allow finding packages alphabetically by name and makes it 
virtually impossible to find libraries to install when needed for 
dependencies.  That is getting very frustrating when trying to add packages 
that are missing.

Initial notes on Red Hat 8.0 + LTSP

[Warren Togami]

Hi folks.  I spent the last few days experimenting with Red Hat 8.0 plus
Eric Harrison's LTSP packages.  Here are my initial notes.

UNRESOLVED
* Sometimes when I "X -query" into the server and login to Gnome, all of
the icons and background becomes corrupted and unusable until I log out
and log back in.  This seems to occur randomly.
When I hit PrintScreen the Gnome screenshot preview window shows a
completely blue picture.  When I save and open that PNG file, it is
completely black.
I don't know if this occurs with a LTSP client yet.  I am doing further
testing tonight.
* StarOffice 6.0 seems to be broken in RH 8.  Installation works fine,
but it simply freezes forever after the Splash screen when you attempt
to run the applications.  Anyone know a solution to this?

RESOLVED
* Gnome logins seem to be broken, ESD is to blame.  It freezes during
the Splash screen during login.  If I manually kill the esd process
login completes and I am able to use the desktop.
Strangely it doesn't freeze during login like this when I use an X query
from my Red Hat 8.0 laptop with "X -query".
Workaround:
Edit /etc/esd.conf and change autoconf=0.

GENERAL TIPS
* Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.6
Download these handy RPM packages from
http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html.  They contain a workaround to
make acroread work in RH 8.0, which otherwise crashes because it doesn't
know how to handle the UTF-8 LANG locale.  The other package is a simple
plugin for Mozilla that embeds acroread within the browser, just like it
works in Windows.  Very nice.

Since I cannot put gnorpm back the following excerpt from the release 
notes might be of some help here:

RPM will also suggest package(s) that will satisfy unresolved
   dependencies if the rpmdb-redhat package is installed. For example, if
   you are attempting to upgrade the gnumeric without a necessary
   library, you will see the following message:

   rpm -Uvh gnumeric-1.0.5-5.i386.rpm

   error: Failed dependencies:

   libbonobo-print.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5

   libbonobo.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5

   libbonobox.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5

   Suggested resolutions:

   bonobo-1.0.20-3.i386.rpm

   The above mechanism is equivalent to (and will replace) the existing
   --redhatprovides mechanism.

Does it work okay if you unplug the DVD drive?  Have you tried replacing 
or re-positioning the ATA cable?  Are both drives using DMA?

My DVD and CD-writer (sharing the same channel) both use DMA okay.

Yes.  If i turn it off with hdparm they run much more slowly:

[root@enoch root]# hdparm -d 0 /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
setting using_dma to 0 (off)
using_dma=  0 (off)
[root@enoch root]# hdparm -t /dev/hdc

I'm running IceWM, but it doesn't seem quite right (slow loading and
changing themes).  Here's what I have installed:

icewm-common-1.2.2-1
icewm-default-1.2.2-1

To get the IceWM to show up in the login manager, I had to add a startup
script to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions by hand, but other than that it
installed fine.

I'm also playing with xfce-3.8.16-1, which works fine but didn't seem to
import all of gnome and kde's menus.

I've tried building an rpm from the fluxbox src rpm, but I got some
error about didn't have a gcc compiler?  Whatever it was, it looked
strange, so I stopped.  As you can tell, I haven't really found a window
manager I'm crazy about yet.  Kde is nice, but a little to hungry for
this hardware.

Browser Selection

[Sean Bossinger]

Good evening:

My wife wanted to play some games on Yahoo this evening (on her windows
machine, vs. me on my RH8 machine), so I attempted to get the Java VM
installed using the 1.0.1 Mozilla that ships as default with RH8.  To
make a long story short, I failed abysmally at getting the VM to work
with the existing version (1.0.1) of Mozilla.

So, I downloaded the 1.1 version of Mozilla, and installed this into
/usr/local/mozilla.  When I accessed the yahoo page for games, I was
prompted to download the VM, and did so, successfully as the root user. 
The VM worked perfectly.

Next challenge was to get this new version of mozilla to run
automatically when running the link to htmlview that was installed in
the panel, just so that I'm consistently running version 1.1 of
Mozilla.  Here is where my (long-winded) question comes in:

1) When I read the code to the HTMLVIEW script, I saw that it looks for
a local file called $HOME/.htmlviewrc.  I made an educated guess and as
the sole line in this file, entered "/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla" which
is the full pathname to the mozilla 1.1 executable I installed.

2) When I first ran the link to HTMLVIEW that is in the PANEL, I
verified that, indeed, the newer version of Mozilla started.  However,
when I exited this version (and not until 1.1 version fully exited), the
OLD (1.0) version of Mozilla fired up.

3) I added an additional line in the .htmlviewrc file that only reads
"exit".  This appears to fix the startup of the second session of
Mozilla after my first is closed.

While I'm certain that I hacked this band-aid together at least
marginally correctly (otherwise it wouldn't be working), I'm still
curious as to whether this is, in fact, the "correct" way to do this?

Sorry for the long-winded message...  I am new to this.

Thank you,
Sean Bossinger

metacity will respawn too quickly.  Prior to doing that, you should run
the GNOME session managment tool, and configure metacity to not
respawn.  After that, those commands will work.

Installation fails with Compaq Smart-2/E controller

[Jim Hubbard]

My target system is a Compaq Proliant 1500 with a Compaq Smart-2/E array
controller (eisa based).

I have bugzilla'd this issue already for RH72 and for the Limbo beta. 
The bug id's are 70311 and 71403.  Redhat7.2 installed fine, but an
updated kernel 2.4.9-34 would not load the cpqarray module.  Redhat 7.3,
the Limbo beta, the null beta, and now 8.0 will not install at all
because of the same thing.

Curiously, Mandrake 8.2 installed with no problems.  I haven't tried
9.0.

So what are the advantages of VTE?  It seems to eat up an *awful* lot of
CPU time.  I don't even like to run compiles with that thing...  I start
a "screen" session, and detach after starting the build.  The difference
is big...

Automatic configuration of the RAM timings ("By SPD") doesn't work on this 
motherboard.  With various DIMMS, I would get random lockups, memtest86 
failures, etc.  Works perfectly if I manually set the timings.

Flash plugin for konqueror

[ron_olsen]

I'm having trouble getting the flash plugin to work with the KDE web
browser konqueror; it works fine with mozilla, galeon, and netscape 7.

I downloaded the latest flash plugin from Macromedia and installed
the two files (libflashplayer.so and ShockwaveFlass.class)
in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.  This is the Flash Player 5 Netscape Plugin
for Linux, dated 9 September 2002.

I set up konqueror to look in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for plugins, and
libflashplayer.so shows up in the konqueror plugin list.

But when I visit a site that uses flash (e.g. www.coppercolorado.com)
I get many errors of the form:

"Unable to load Netscape plugin for
http://www.coppercolorado.com/home_media/home_headertabs.swf";

I also tried putting the flash plugins in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins,
and having konqueror search there, but still no success.

I also tried deleting my $HOME/.kde directory and restarting konqueror,
but this did not work either.

Has anyone gotten the flash plugin to work with konqueror on RH 8.0?

Re: RAM

[Evan Read]

My understanding is that it is a good idea ;)

Even a little swap is handy, otherwise Linux kernel code exhibits bad
performance.  Though bad is relative.  There is a document on the web
discussing Linux vs FreeBSD database performance with 0 swap space.

FreeBSD was ok (obviously designed to deal with it) and Linux sucked
(having _some_ swap made all the difference).

Can't immediately find the reference.  Anyone else remember it?

Prolly gonna be fixed in 2.6 I suppose.

Evan.

That's not been my experience; I just installed Psyche on Wednesday,
and in my (admittedly brief) tests, I haven't noticed any problems.

My (main) system is:

Asus A7V333 motherboard (BIOS version 1011)
AMD Athlon XP 1900+
512MB Crucial DDR PC2100 (1 DIMM, part number CT6472Z265)
Western Digital WD800JB hard drive (primary IDE master)
Afreey 56x CD-ROM drive (secondary IDE master)

Ah, but Red Hat (specifically, Arjan) integrated vt8233a support into
the final (null) kernel:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72542

I just downloaded Psyche's kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm, ran
"rpmbuild -bp", and compared my patch line-for-line against it.  The
only differences are:

1.  The 2.4.18-14 kernel is actually using a slightly newer
version of via82cxxx.c (3.35) than my patch provided (3.34);
the newer version (3.35) supports the new VIA vt8235
southbridge (commonly found on KT400 chipsets, but it can also
be found on KT333 chipsets as well).

2.  Arjan didn't update the comments at the top of ide-timing.h,
so it looks like ide-timing.h wasn't updated.  That is *not*
the case; ide-timing.h was patched as well.

In short, not only did Red Hat incorporate my vt8233a southbridge
patch into the kernel, they pulled more recent bits than I used.

(I'll go update my web page accordingly.)

> Machines running the unpatched 2.4.18-14 kernel start segfaulting

This sounds to me more like defective hardware (related to memory,
most likely) than a hardware compatibility problem.

> Could someone (James, pretty please?) make a patch for 2.4.18-14?

I can't, because my patch is already in there.  :O

I suspect that either there's defective hardware at play, or there are
problems with the vt8233a southbridge, but only on certain
motherboards.

(Those of you who are having problems: I suggest you include the exact
make, model, and BIOS version of your motherboard when you post...)

Now I have wiped the system and made a clean 8.0 installation. I chose to install 
support for every language I could imagine needing support for, just like I did in 7.3 
and every version before that, and Swedish set as the default language.

Now I can type Swedish characters in bash (only when logged in though) and get them 
displayed in localised boot messages. Files created under RH8.0 also show up just fine.

However, all filenames with Swedish characters created pre-8.0 as well as filenames on 
a FAT32 and all SMBFS mount points (RH8.0, Yellow Dog Linux 2.3, WinXP and AmigaOS) 
show up garbled (replaced by questionmarks) both inside and outside GNOME/X. What's 
worse is that some apps (all pre-GTK+ 2 ones?) also garble the Swedish characters. For 
example it makes Sylpheed unusable for correspondence in my native tongue, if I set it 
to use "Automatic" encoding (apparently UTF-8) then Swedish characters become 
invisible, if I set it to use ISO8859-1 they turn to garbage... :(

If I run something like gedit from a terminal and open a file requester I get a 
message saying: "Gtk-Message: The filename "someswedishcharacter.foo" could not be 
converted to UTF-8 (try to set the environment variable G_BROKEN_FILENAMES): Invalid 
byte sequence in conversion in-data" [my translation]. This is repeated once for each 
"broken" filename in the file requester. But that env var *is* set!

This feels hopeless. What should one do to make a fundamental and essential thing like 
this "just work", like it used to? (Apart from downgrading to 7.3, installing another 
distro, or start communicating with non-accented English words only...)

There's a screenshot depicting my misery at

Did DMA ever work without problems on this system, for any previous
Red Hat release, with or without my patch?

(I find it very suspicious that only the IDE channel which has two
devices on it is having DMA problems.  I'd try the same things David
suggested: unplug DVD, reposition/replace IDE cable, etc...)

Hi.

I have a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP. Upgrading from 7.3, I now have DMA on my

I've not noticed stability problems, but I'll leave it running to see

WORKSFORME; I've never had any problems with the "By SPD" setting on
my Asus A7V333, regardless of the BIOS version (currently 1011, but I
didn't have any problems with older versions either).

My Asus A7V has a single Crucial CT6472Z265 DIMM in it (512MB DDR
PC2100 unbuffered ECC).

Are you certain the modules you had problems with supported SPD?  Not

BadCRC errors are a cable issue. The drive sends its data and includes a
crc checksum; the controller receives the data and notices the data is
corrupted via the checksum.

Are you sure you have an 80 ribbon cable (as opposed to a 40 ribbon
one)? Is it one of those ultra-long cables?

iptables with log

[Jean Francois Ortolo]

Hi all
  I fully apologize for my previous post, that's a mistake.

  I apologize this should be adressed to the vahalla-list, but this is an 
iptables problem, wich is the same for the 8.0 version.

  Simple problem: I wish in the same rule, set both the 'LOG' and 'DROP' 
targets.

  Either do I must set both same rules, first with a LOG target, second 
with a DROP target, or may I set the two targets directly in one rule ?

  Example: Either 1)
 /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d ${IPADDR} --syn -j LOG
 /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d ${IPADDR} --syn -j DROP  

   or 2)
 /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d ${IPADDR} --syn -j LOG DROP

  Indeed, ${IPADDR} is my IP address, the rules are to be set in a Shell 
script. ( I need my specific IP adress, which is dynamic, so I can't use 
the firewall system file /etc/sysconfig/iptables. )

  Alternatively, if neither of these works, which is the way for doing 
this ?

  Secondary, what is the resulting effect of the 
"--log-ip-options" parameter of the LOG target, upon the log appearance in 
/var/log/messages ?

  Thank you very much for your responses.

  Best regards.

Installation and vesa driver

Hi,

I have a GeForce 2 MX onBoard on a nForce motherboard..

It's known, that that Graphic card don't work with the normal

So, when i try to start the Graphical installation, it chooses the
nv-drivers. But the screen turns black..

Now, is there ANY way, to make the installation use the vesa-drivers?

I will check that sometime soon.

I haven't checked it (it's only a new machine and until 2.4.18-14, all 
seemed OK), but i doubt it's a 40 ribbon cable.  The drives are UATA133 
- i was told that everything over UATA66 needed an 80 ribbon cable just 
to work.

The dma_intr errors and the ide reset repeat several times during

40 Mb/s like hda).

RH7.3 worked fine (albeit at UATA100 instead of 133) on all stock RH

that added support for the chipset that i had errors.

(I find it very suspicious that only the IDE channel which has two

I'm guessing the DVD has something to do with it, since it's only UATA33

Very poor performance on a Dell Inspiron 8200

[Joris Struyve]

Hi,

I've just installed RH80 on a Dell Inspiron 8200. Performance is
extremely poor when working in a gnome or kde session. Starting mozilla
or openoffice (or any other app that does lots of disk access on
startup) takes more than one minute. When I start a failsafe session
however, performance is normal. The performance problem is clearly disk
related.

Disk performance test in a gnome or kde session:
/dev/hda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  5.31 seconds = 12.06 MB/sec

In a failsafe session:
/dev/hda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  3.06 seconds = 20.88 MB/sec

hdparm /dev/hda:

I've had the problem too. It's a bug in the flash plugin. When playing
sound the plugin tries to open /dev/dsp which is in use when you're
playing mp3's. The plugin just hangs at that moment which causes the
whole browser to hang.
One workaround is to set xmms to esound output instead of oss output.
Using a soundcard which allows multiple programs to open /dev/dsp works
too of cours (sb live/audigy users don't have this problem).

This is how the Firestarter authors did it:


# Create a new log and drop (LD) convenience chain.
$IPT -N LD 2> /dev/null
$IPT -F LD
$IPT -A LD -j LOG
$IPT -A LD -j DROP

STOP=LD


Then you would just jump to the STOP variable  (-j $STOP) if you wanted to log
and drop at the same time.

Maybe because it's useless without the encrypted dvd player plugin?
(I guess red hat doesn't want to ship the divx player codec too)

Re: Quick and easy guide to get NVidia hardware 3D acceleration

[Bernd Kunze]

Maybe this is related to my piece of hardware however after installing 
the kernel
driver rpm I had to reboot, else restart of X would freeze the box.

Hello,

I wrote this little guide at osnews.com and thought it might be usefull
for some people. I would be happy if it would be copied to some places
to help more people with the same problem. You don't need to ask me for
permission. ;) I wrote this in a different style than usual Linux
howto's because I think there is a market for Linux howto's which don't
make the issue worse or more complicated than it is. :) I also tried to
cover every possible error so an unexperienced user won't get lost
during the process.
Here it is (please tell me if something is wrong, inaccurate or
confusing):


1.) Go to http://www.nvidia.com, click on "download drivers", then click
on "linux display drivers", select the topmost driver (currently 3123).

2.) Download the GLX RPM (the first one), then scroll down to the bottom
and download the kernel source RPM. Save both in your home folder. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: If they already offer a kernel RPM for Red Hat 8.0, you
can get this instead of the kernel source RPM and skip the next four
steps marked with a star (*).

*3.) If you didn't already, fire up the package manager (System Settings
-> Packages) and install the package groups "Development Tools" and
"Kernel Development".

*4.) Launch a terminal (System Tools -> Terminal).

*5.) Type "su", then hit enter and enter your root password, you should
be root now.

*6.) Type the following command: "rpmbuild --rebuild
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm". Of course the version number of your
src.rpm might differ. You can use tab completion so simply hit TAB once
you wrote a part of the filename down. Capitalization does matter.

7.) If this worked, you can close the terminal now. Open a file manager
window (or your homefolder) and navigate to "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386".
You should find your new NVIDIA_kernel RPM here (of course if you got a
precompiled NVidia kernel RPM you will find this whereever you saved
it). Doubleclick and install it. If you did this, go back to your home
folder and install (doubleclick) the NVIDIA_GLX RPM.
(Feel free to remove the RPM's after installation as they aren't needed
anymore. You won't be able to remove the kernel RPM (if you built it and
it was saved in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/) as a user though without the
terminal, su and "rm" command. This is IMHO a critical usability bug in
Red Hat 8 or I missed something.)

8.) Go to "System Settings -> Display", open the "Advanced" tab and
click the "Configure..." button for your video card. At the "Driver:"
input box, write down "nvidia" as this is most probably not in the list
(only "nv"). "nv" is the 2D driver, "nvidia" is the original 3D driver
(the one you just installed). You will not be able to activate the
"Enable Hardware 3D Acceleration" checkbox, don't worry. Click OK two
times and it should tell you to log out and restart.

9.) Do exactly this (log out) and log in again, you should see the
NVidia logo shortly. If X doesn't work anymore, GDM will ask you to
launch the configuration program. Answer yes (or just hit enter in case
the buttons show unreadable text like they did for me, probably a bug in
Red Hat 8) and it should show you the configuration program from step 7.
Change "nvidia" to "nv" at the very same location, now X should work
again (at least). But if you did everything right, this shouldn't
happen.

10.) Launch Tux Racer (Extras -> Games -> Tux Racer) or Chromium (Extras
-> Games -> Chromium). Have fun! :)

hi,

i hope that rhl 8.1 (2003) can handle this hardware while *installation*

playing a DVD using freshrpms rpms

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm trying to play a DVD using the freshrpms RPMs,
and here's how far i get.

  based on the dependencies, i've installed:

libdvdcss
libdvdread

ogle
ogle_gui

  when i brought up ogle and tried to open and play a DVD,
i did in fact get the first several seconds of DVD content
(the obligatory FBI warning, blah blah), followed by an abort,
with the xterm output of ...

Well I just joined the list so I haven't followed this thread but from
the subject and the quotes included I get the impression that someone
is having problems building the kernel.

I can then report that I have had success in building and using, a few
days now, one 2.4.19 kernel, sources from www.kernel.org, with
RH8.0. To be on the safe side I created a new kernel and modules using
the EXTRAVERSION macro in the kernel Makefile and I also did a "make
clean" to remove any left overs from the old build I had on RH7.3.

Re: playing a DVD using freshrpms rpms

[Patrick]

Iirc, RH8 uses OSS sound drivers so when ogle tries to access alsa it
crashes because there is no alsa active on RH8. Try using OSS sound
drivers or playing without sound to see if it works then.

Cheers,
Patrick

No.  This is a known issue, the only open source way of using graphics
on nForce is with vesaFB kernel driver which Red Hat doesn't support. 
Mandrake's installer and X does.

For now you must install in text mode, boot into text mode and install
the nvidia kernel and drivers, then you will be fine.

ok, i don't know enough about sound configuration to know how to 
do this, but i did figure out that ogle comes with a system-wide
config file, /usr/share/ogle/oglerc, which is an XML file in four
sections, one of them being "audio":






...  section skipped ...

  

  alsa
  /dev/dsp
  
default
  


  2

  0


  1.5
  no


  odelay
  no
  0

  

... remainder of file skipped ...




  so, any suggestions for what i would change for RH 8.0?
i have an inspiron with ESS/maestro3.  guess it's time to start
reading even more docs.

ownership of /dev/* gets mixed up when compiling garnome

[Olafur Sigurgeirsson]

Hi
I am currently compiling garnome (Gnome2) as user "B".
I login as user "A" to do other work while waiting and notice that I can
not access /dev/audio | mixer | dsp. When I check I see that those
devices are now owned by user "B". I have noticed this behavior before
in RedHat 7.x and would love to know why this happens, a simple compile
job should mess with ownership of devices ?

Hi all,

I have a Gericom Laptop with a DVD Drive, but RedHat only recognizes a

What does the information in /proc/ide/ say?

You should have you're dvd drive in there.

try running the following:

ls -al /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/where_cdrom_link_points_to /dev/dvd

Then running ogle or xine,totem, videolan or whatever you use to play
dvd's with from the connsole and see the output, I know xine moans that
it cannot find /dev/dvd if the links not there.

LOG and DROP are both 'targets'. You can only have one target per
statement.

I think its to do with pam and X and only allowing one user to alter the
permissions of /dev/mixer at a time (but I may be wrong!).

You'll be ok, if you logged in using only a console, as generally no two
people log into X at the same time or want to use the same sound system
on the same computer at the same time, hence the problem.

Thats from alsa-libs.

try http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libasound.so.1

Or 

download alsa from http://freshrpms.net

but that only gives you:

/usr/lib/libasound.so
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0

So if you really need this, try symlinking it to:
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0

may work, or may not, I presume you are trying to compile something?

Stopping Window Animation

[Sean Bossinger]

Good morning:

In all of my searches through the preferences for the new Bluecurve
desktop on RH8, I've not been able to find a place to turn off the
animation that accompanies minimizing and maximizing windows.

Could someone direct me to the right place, please?

Thank you,

Not running ~/.bash_profile with keychain?

[Nick Urbanik]

Dear folks,

Whenever I log into gdm, I get the message along the lines of "you're session
lasted only less than 10 seconds..' while the gnome-ssh-askpass.sh prompt
appears.  Then when I re-log in, I do not have access to my keys (ssh-add -l
shows no keys).  Running . .bash_profile works in each window (it sources my
ssh-agent information), but that reduces my productivity too much.  Since I am
teaching a class using RH 8.0 and keychain soon, I hope someone can point out
what I am doing wrong, or suggest something to try...or is this a known bug?
Workarounds?

Occasional bad label on upgrade with existing RH on other disk

[Nick Urbanik]

Dear team,

In each of my classes of 20 students, about 2/20 have a problem: during an NFS
install, the label allocated to the root partition on a removable hard disk hda
is the same as the label on the existing Linux Red Hat 7.3 installation on the
internal hard disk hdc.  This requires me to boot the machine from floppy, run
e2label to modify the partition, and edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf to
change the labels.  Has anyone else experienced this?  It did not happen to me,
and I do not know exactly what they did, so I cannot submit a proper bug report.
  Any similar experiences?

Hebrew support?

[Barak Shoshani]

In previous versions of RHL, I was able to configure my keyboard as
"Israeli", and configure KDE to support two keyboard layouts: English and
Hebrew.
Then, I would configure my left "win" key to switch between the two keyboard
layouts permanently, and my right "win" key to switch them while pressed.
it worked quite good, though the settings did not "catch" at first, and
I had to play with them a bit.
also, for some reason I was able to switch layouts only when the panel
indicator was set to "IL".



During the installation of RH8, I was asked to choose a keyboard layout.
For my surprise, there was no Israeli or Hebrew keyboard!
I chose English, and procceded with the installation.
When it was finished, I logged into a GNOME session and searched for an
option to define a Hebrew keyboard layout and a switch key - but with no
results.
I switched to KDE, and configured keyboard layouts and switch keys through
the Control Center as I did with RH7.3.
The switch keys did not work, no matter how much I played with them (btw,
what does "Reset configuration" mean anyway?? I couldn't find it in the
manual. Why is it a checkbox?)
The keyboard layouts did "work", but only when switched manually with the
mouse. And when I tried to type in the Hebrew layout - I got gibberish!
(Apparently there are no hebrew fonts...)
I might note that I can *read* Hebrew in some apps, for example Licq and
Mozilla, but not *write*.



Please help! I would like to use Linux as a primary OS, and right now I'm
stuck with windoze, because it's the only OS on my system that supports
Hebrew.


TIA!

Why old OpenLDAP, not new one? Bugs?

[Nick Urbanik]

 Dear folks,

I was disappointed to see the old 2.0.x OpenLDAP with RH 8.0 instead of 2.1.5.
Any idea why? Has 2.1.5 proven to be too bug-ridden?  If so, what were the
problems?  I want to use it to authenticate our 2000-odd student number,  but
only if it is reliable.

Dependencies for xine

[Gerry Tool]

When I try to install the xine rpms from freshmeat, I get the following;

libaa.so.1 is needed by xine-libs-0.9.13-fr5

I have struggled trying to find these missing packages/files and have not 
succeeded.  Can anyone tell me where to get them?  I installed 
alsa-lib-0.9.0rc3-fr3.i386.rpm from freshmeat, but that did not satisfy the 
above dependencies.

For me, right clicking on the KDE menu offers a menu editor, but right 
clicking on the Gnome menu does not.

There is a file like: /usr/share/doc/initscripts-6.95/sysconfig.txt
that explains the sysconfig files.

automount/autofs shutdown issues

[Brandon Yap]

I've got my home directory automounted via nfs from another machine, now
upon rebooting, automount almost always fails when trying to shut it
down.
When the last session was gnome, I see illegal seek errors and even
netfs doesn't unmount the filesystems properly.
When the last session was kde, automount fails with no error messages
(even the messages log says it fails without being very specific about
it), but netfs shuts down properly.

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before with automount/autofs ?

Hi
You need aalib from freshrpm, but I would really recommend that you give
Synaptic from freshrpm a try and install Xine using it, then you don't
need to worry about dependencies. It is easy to setup and comes fully
configured.
