Re: rpm storage location while up2date downloading
You can find "in progress" downloads for rhn in the /tmp file system. Just "ls -ltr /tmp" a couple times, and you will see a weird named *.tar file growing during download. Dan Liston Oisin C.

I'm not super familiar with the file system under Linux, but is it possible to map a memory region to disk? I can think of several ways that up2date could actually be "using" the disk to hold the transient downloaded data WITHOUT an actual filename showing up in some directory. Perhaps it commits the downloaded data to the swap area, or perhaps it's using some form of file-system supported "temporary file" mechanism. Both of these methods could use the disk to hold the downloaded data without a file showing up in a directory somewhere. Also, when a file is open for CREATE/WRITE operations under Linux, unless something like flush() or any other "commit-type" function is called, I'm not sure if the actually file would show up in an "ls" command until the file was actually committed to disk (like flush or close). If a filename WAS being used (that could be located for whatever reason), I would guess it would be in /tmp or perhaps /var/tmp. Is the up2date source code available? If so, perhaps you could find out by looking at the source. BB. - Original Message - From: "Oisin C.

Above you tested dsl.pipex.com (the non-working address). Below you tested dsl.pipex.net, which works. It might be that dsl.pipex.com is on some anti-spam blacklist at Red Hat, because I don't see much of a difference between DNS information for dsl.pipex.net and dsl.pipex.com (except that the latter uses very small TTLs). -- msg03847/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

That is for the old AA code though - the new code does *not* require
Freetype2, it requires fontconfig. Which is one of the reason it is not
enabled by default - only Red Hat 8 supports it out of the box right
now.
I get AA without tweaking a single line of .js code, honest. Have you
changed the fonts used by Mozilla? Is your desktop itself AA'ed?

Have you > changed the fonts used by Mozilla? Is your desktop itself AA'ed? Apparently, there were two Xft downloads available from ftp.mozilla.org on Friday. If you got there early on Friday, you got a set of RPMs that didn't enable Xft. On the other hand, if you downloaded them on Saturday, then you got a set of RPMs that did enable Xft. This probably explains why some people see AA text and others do not. The set of RPMs that actually do enable Xft are timestamped at four minutes before midnight on Friday. Once installed, you don't have to edit any files at all. They just work, right out of the box.

No, but you need to set up the appropriate NAT rules to allow https and
http through.
I run up2date on nearly all of my boxes through a NATing firewall.

The XFree86 4.2.0-72 that comes with Red Hat Linux 8.0 contains a backport I did of some initial code from CVS to work with the i845. Having no Intel hardware myself, the backport was untestable, however it went into our beta releases, and some users reported that it worked for them better than nothing at all. SInce the code changes were not invasive and did not affect the code paths of other hardware supported by the i810 driver, I opted to leave the patch in, hoping that some users would benefit from it rather than have no working video at all. To date, feedback from users shows that it works for some users, but only in certain resolutions and/or color depths. I do not have any details, and cannot offer any help at all with attempting to configure or use i845, but some other user who has gotten it working might be able to assist. Note that the driver is 2D only if you can get it working, so be sure to disable DRI. Another option is to try the "vesa" driver, however most users have told me that the vesa driver is useless for i845. Another out of the box option that might or might not be possible, is to use the kernel framebuffer, and use fbdev driver in X. Details for doing this are covered in the Framebuffer-HOWTO available online. Aside from that is the "vga" driver which even if it worked bug free will be unaccelerated, low res, crappy color, and generally useless IMHO. The above are all of the possible out-of-the-box ideas that I can muster. XFree86 developmental CVS has a rewritten i810 driver which has both 2D, and 3D support for i845, as well as fixing up various issues that users have reported about the prior driver. This code is not even in "beta" form yet, and is very highly developmental. Also, although 3D is supported, it wont work without a bit of mucking around currently (and I don't have time to go into details about it). If your machine requires working video, and you're willing to accept non-production XFree86 code which may contain numerous bugs and problems, you can try upgrading to my latest XFree86 developmental RPM snapshots. They are available at: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/live-grenades The above developmental RPM's are the work-in-progress which will end up becoming XFree86 4.3.0 sometime later this year, and will likely be first introduced to Red Hat Linux users officially in the next Red Hat Linux release. I will be keeping these RPMs updated and tracking CVS between now and then. Be sure to read the readme documents present in those directories as they contain further information. Also, please do not ask me for specific help via email as I'm unable to provide individual assistance to people using the experimental releases. If you encounter problems, please report them to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list first, and then in Red Hat bugzilla and include any feedback the mailing list gave you about your problem.

As a start try as root 'modprobe ppa' or 'modprobe imm' commands (it depends on version if Zip drive). If one of them works, add line 'alias block-major-8 ppa' (or imm) to /etc/modules.conf file and '/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip100 noauto defaults' (options may vary) to /etc/fstab. Create /mnt/zip100 directory.

xmms segfaults on startup (clean Install, up2date is up to date)
Title: xmms segfaults on startup (clean Install, up2date is up to date) Hi guys, Just ran into a slight problem. Decided to do yet another clean install of the RH8.0 on my system. All went well. Updated all the packages tht up2date wanted to update (I kept the rpms on another disk). Anyway I go to start xmms and it segfaults with the following message [john@nkotb john]$ xmms Segmentation fault You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit http://bugs.xmms.org and fill out a bug report. I checked bugs.xmms.org and there does indeed seem to be somebody else who has submitted a bug that says "segfaults on startup in red hat 8". But that bug has been resolved as WORKSFORME, that is, the bug has been resolved because they coudln't reproduce it. Has anyone else ran into this problem? And is there any use in me bugzilla-ing it in the redhat bugzilla database? I just don't understand. It was working an hour ago, all I did was a new clean install (formated the ext3 partition again) and updated all the packages (including the kernel) that up2date wanted. Help here would be much appreciated John

(Try 'modprobe ppa' - that should load the correct module for the original 100MB zip drive. If that doesn't work, try 'modprobe imm' - for newer drives) 4) You will know if it works because you will see an informative message on your console. 5) The tricky bit now is figuring out what device you need to use. The parallel zip drives use a scsi driver, so if you haven't any real scsi drives on your system, the parallel port zip drive is probably '/dev/sda'. I suggest you start with /dev/sda4 since that is the usual device. If that doesn't work, you could try using fdisk to open /dev/sda and see what partitions exist on the disk. -- Jim Kaufman mailto:jmk@;linuxforbusiness.net Linux Evangelistcell: 612-481-9778 public key 0x6D802619 fax: 952-937-9832 http://www.linuxforbusiness.net

Not a K5, >K6, or Cyrix. Not a i686 (PPRo, PII, or PIII), not a Pentium w/ >MMX. That is a reasonable assumption. Note however that newer CPU's internally reorder instruction execution to be more optimal at runtime. There is no question at all, that providing a kernel customized for every single CPU brand/model would be most optimal for that particular CPU brand/model. That isn't however remotely reasonable from an engineering and support perspective. We could technically supply 30 kernels in the distro, each one optimized for a particular CPU. It would take an incredible amount of time for the kernel builds to finish, and we would be faced with a tech support nightmare. I can totally respect anyone wanting to rebuild the kernel or some application, or library for the best performance for their own system. However, we are producing a general purpose operating system distribution, and we need to minimize the amount of per-system customized packages that we ship and support in order to have engineering and support sanity. The more we ship customized for different systems, the more we divide our engineering and QA resources, as well as other resources. >So offering a i586 optimized kernel, to all the i586 compatible CPU >that cannot use the i686 instructuions slow them down, yet there >are more CPUs that perform bably with that code that there are that >it helps. A i386 optimized sheduling is faster on most CPUs than >Pentium optimized code. So rebuild the kernel customized for your CPU. What we provide in our stock distribution covers the largest number of users, with the most popular hardware, and gives reasonable performance or better. Most operating systems come with one kernel period, and you use that kernel regardless of what CPU you have. You have no choice whatsoever. With Linux, you do have a choice. You can use one of the kernels that we provide, and offer support for that is optimized for your specific CPU type, or you can use the kernel which we ship that most closely matches your CPU, or you can use the kernel source code, and recompile an unsupported kernel, which is optimized for your specific CPU. There are lots of choices. We just can't possibly support the matrix of 100 possibilities that can exist out of the box, and so we don't. I use the i586 kernel on a K6, and a K6-3 machine, and it works perfectly fine. A kernel built specifically for K6 would likely perform better in some areas, but I seriously doubt there is any majorly noticeable difference. Most people do not ever actually benchmark things to see the real differences, and just hold to the placebo effect of bigger number == better. IMHO, if someone really cares that deeply to have a kernel optimized for their particular CPU, model, make, and stepping, the source code is available for free go nuts. >keep changing the CPU sel

Also, the best optimizations will vary greatly from application to application, etc. Another problem is knowing what optimizations are actually stable enough to use regularly. I've never trusted a lot of gcc's optimizations personally.

ssh-askpass login problem
Hello, I use KDE with the ssh-askpass/ssh-add commands as part of my login .bash_profile. However, when I login the keys are not kept by ssh-add. This worked at RH7.3. Upon login I get the ssh-askpass window pop up. By simply putting echo statements into .bash_profile I can see that the ssh-add command is reached and has the keys. However, once the login process has completed 'ssh-add -l' shows no keys. Also the SSH_ASKPASS variable has changed from '/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass' to '/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass'. I don't use GNOME to login though! The .bash-profile section looks like: if [ "$DISPLAY" = ':0' ]; then eval `ssh-agent` >/dev/null SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass export SSH_ASKPASS ssh-add Echoing the output of 'ssh-add -l' into a file after the 'ssh-add' command shows the keys have been accepted, and, obviously, that that part of the .bash-profile has been reached. Anyone any ideas about this? To get around it I simply enter shh-add once logged in and then re-enter my passphrase. The keys are held for the session then. If no-one has any thoughts, then I'll submit a bugzilla report about it. Regards, John.

I used to use home brew K6 kernels, but then switched to stock kernels not long after starting at Red Hat. QA testing became more important to me. ;o) No idea what to bench with. The whole problkem with benckmarking is timing the right things and figuring out what it means :) So owners of a true Pentium would probably benifit from a -mcpu=i586 version of glibc. Since it would give a more optimum instruction mix. My understanding is that the i586 scheduler (compiler) creates code that only runs well on an actuall *ntel Pentium. Not a K5, K6, or Cyrix. Not a i686 (PPRo, PII, or PIII), not a Pentium w/ MMX. That is a reasonable assumption. Note however that newer CPU's internally reorder instruction execution to be more optimal at runtime. When the PII and K6-2 came out, I remember the optimization guide saying that the new CPUs ran i386 optimized code faster than pentium optimized code, and to not use the pentium guidelines anymore. There is no question at all, that providing a kernel customized for every single CPU brand/model would be most optimal for that particular CPU brand/model. That isn't however remotely Didn't mean that ;) But if most pre i686 CPUS (pre PPro/PII/Athlon) run the i386 code mix faster than the pentium mix, why not supply the i386 mix. I woul thing there are more 486s, P/MMX, K5, K6, and Cyrix CPUs still in use than Pentiums (pre MMX). An athlon glibc would be nice to test. Not sure if it would provide noticeable difference or not as I'm not sure if gcc takes advantage of anything new in the athlon instruction set or not. Athlon optimized string operations would be nice, but I don't think gcc takes advantage of anything that useful on athlon yet. It'd be very cool though to have if one of the compiler guys could provide info about gcc's athlon optimizations, and if someone would implement useful tidbits if it hasn't been done already. If anyone experiments with a glibc rebuild, be sure to do some before and after benchmarking with useful tests and post back to the list. I'd give it a crack myself, but I don't have an Athlon handy to muck around with. ;o/ I'd do it, but I havent a clue how to build glibc that way, or how to test the results. -Thomas

Setting X resources?
What is the right way to set X resources in Psyche? In particular, I want my xemacs windows to open at 80x36 instead of the default 62x34. I tried creating ~/.Xresources[1] with Emacs*EmacsFrame.geometry: 80x36 but that has no effect. The resource is in the resource database (as indicated by "xrdb -query"), but the window still opens 62x34. I also tried "xemacs -geometry 80x36" and tht didn't do it either. Now I'm confused. TIA.

I've played around a little bit with KDE, and the performance is a little bit sluggish compared to Gnome2, but still passable.

A user logged into the console who enters authentication tokens for a root-restricted task will cause a time-limited (5 minutes IIRC) allowance of further access to other root-password-requriing tasks for the user logged into the console (indicated by panel's "key" icon). So you don't have to keep on entering root's password multiple times. What happens if you "touch" the "/var/run/sudo/root/:0" with a more recent date. Alternatively using pam_timestamp_check might solve the problem. I have seen this happen a couple of times in the log when running other root-authenticated tasks.

Sure, but that's not my intention, I don't want to come back to the login screen to shutdown only. There must be a solution to shutdown while logging off from KDE.

Now that I'm able to find them for psyche, I'll continue to upgrade with each release. The only problem I have is an occasional bad burn .. I don't know if it's software, bad cd's, or perhaps some more mundane problem (like slight corrosion on my cables). I keep upgrading the software just to eliminate a possible bug.

Oh, look, I used > just under 1MB of swap! W... It's actually not too difficult to load up your system to observe the swap being used. Just create a text file .. call it 'mybash', and put one line within it: 'my bash' ..you can do this with the following command: $ echo bash mybash > mybash Next open up a term and enter 'top' to be able to see your memory usage .. then open another term and type 'bash mybash' to start an endless loop of the mybash script. You'll see the swap get consumed eventually. At some point it will run out of memory and die on it's own.
Printer Ink Alignment & Error On Lexmark
This may be for Tim Waugh mostly, but maybe someone else can help as well. I'm trying to get the ink cartridges properly aligned on my Lexmark Z32. I was successful on getting the printer to switch back to lpd from cups. I've tried adjusting the numbers in the driver options for the printer, but without success. While printing the test page it is stair stepping the box a bit and I'm not sure how to cure that. I've adjusted the numbers a few times, but I'm not sure what I'm doing to it. Also, after I print a page, the printers lights start to flash. I can hit the page eject button and fix that and it will start accepting print jobs again, but should I be sending an end of job feed or something to have it not flash the printer?

ctags found
FYI, Last week I posted a msg to the list asking what happened to ctags since it was AWOL after a clean install of 8.0 . I finally got around to searching for it today and found it in the XEmacs package. I don't use emacs, but did have it installed anyway on past versions. Certainly not where one would expect it to be.

3d hardware acceleration
Hello! I have an Ati Radeon Mobility 8 MB DDR on a Compaq Presarion 1722. When I install RH 8 i select enable 3d hardware acceleration but when I start tuxracer it don't have acceleration at all. Also mplayer and xine from fresh rpms doesn't work properly (they do not return from fullscreen,...). I have installed SUSE 8.1 and I see that I have hardware acceleration and mplayer works good. Since it seems that both use the driver "radeon". Can anybody explain me what changes (I am a newbie) must I do in XF86Config or wherever I have to ghange things to have proper 3d acceleration and video players working. I attach both XF86Config from SUSE 8.1 and RH 8: Any suggestion will be really appreciated.

gnome-panel-question ...
hi, have a little playing-around-question about the panel in gnome: the clock in the panel isn't my favorit - so I would change it into another look-alike, but couldn't find another one. does anyone know, how I can change the outfit of this poor clock in the panel ? for example, the clock so it would be shipped with Ximian-gnome and here the next-step-outfit. Should know, how I can do such a change. thanks for your ideas bye hans

Why was auth_ldap not included in 8.0? Probably because it doesn't work with apache 2.0. Your options seem to be to continue using 7.3 as a production web server (an excellent choice, I'd think) or to update auth_ldap for apache 2.0, if you require those packages. If you don't have programming experience, it's not hard to find contractors who do.
