I'd use rpm --force for bad packages. Think I'd start with rpm itself, and then "rpm 
--rebuilddb" just in case.

XFree86 does not support 3D accleration on Nvidia hardware, 
and as such, Red Hat Linux does not support 3D on Nvidia either.

You need to install Nvidia's proprietary video drivers in order 
to get 3D.  Note that they are unsupported by Red Hat, but if you 
have problems with them, Nvidia tech support is happy to assist.

Hope this helps,

More seriously, do make sure you disconnect the powercord, not just turn off the power 
(I know, but I've seen some incredibly silly things done) and do ground yourself to 
the case by either touching it while extracting the CPU or by using a grounding strap. 
 Have something clean, acid free, and non-conductive to set it onto if there is an 
intermediate stop betweein motherboards.

Re: How to Play These Streaming Online Radio Feeds?

2002-11-16 Thread Vladimir G. Ivanovic
Real.com also has lists of stations at http://radio.real.com/. Find a
station you like, click on it and let the realplayer application
(realplay) run it instead of saving the stream to a file.

Then grep through the output of lsof looking for a file in /tmp that has
been opened by realplay. If you save this file elsewhere, you can use
the Open File menu of Real Player to play that station again instead of
having to visit the second most obnoxious site on the Internet (I
believe that X10 is worse) each time you want to listen to that station.

For examle, I only listen to music that has aged for at least a hundred
years, so I choose the Classical listings and picked at random
Deutschlandfunk in Cologne, Germany. The file in /tmp that Real Player
opens is dlf.ram which contains just one line:

rtsp://live-ra.dradio.de/live/deutschlandfunk/dlf_64k.rm

This a Real Time Streaming Protocol URL (http://www.rtsp.org).

Enjoy.

I think I was unfortunate enough to suffer some broken RPM database

The --force option is used for things like the kernel that are typically
excluded.  What you could do is download the rpms but not install them
(with the --download option) and then use rpm --replacepkgs or rpm
--force.  The rpms should be download by up2date to /var/lib/rpm.

Depending on what files were lost, you may also want to consider
running rpm2cpio on the binary rpm to give you a cpio archive.  Then use
cpio to copy the individual files over.

kazaa and xtunes/sumi

2002-11-16 Thread Justin Georgeson
I was wondering if anyone knows of any KaZaA clients for Linux. I like 
KaZaA-Light on windows, but they only do windows.

 Also, has anyone built  sumi (formerly xtunes)? I found RPMs for 
almost all dependencies not met by RH on freshrpms.net. But I'm still 
missing CommonC++, libcdaudio, and libPropList. Looking at the 
WindowMaker-libs package, it appears libProList is deprecated, and there 
are porting instructions to the new stuff. Anyway, libProList (I'm too 
lazy to bother trying to port sumi right now) and libcdaudio compile and 
install just fine. I'm having trouble with CommonC++ though.

This actually leads into a third topic. :) Writing spec files. I've been 
dabbling into this more and more lately. Is there a tool that will 
generate at least a skeleton spec file from an 
autoconf/automake/whateverisincludedinthisclumpoftools project? My main 
problem is determining the file list. I think the rest of the stuff I 
can lift from other spec files I've been hacking on.

Thanks.

CF card reader for RH8?

2002-11-16 Thread Christopher M. Taylor




Hello,

Anyone know of a good quality CF card reader that is compatible with RedHat 8?  I'm not concerned with interface...the HCL seems to be a little scarce on this subject.  The CF reader will be used to process digital images for a local police evidence, and the Linux machine will be used to store those photos as evidence, as I feel that Linux will provide additional security over Windows.  Your help would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks in advance!

I like to use checkinstall when I'm installing packages from tarballs:

http://checkinstall.izto.org

Checkinstall does a "make install" (or other install command) to a temp area
and then builds an rpm package which is installed on the system. It's a
great way to keep all your installed software in rpm format.

You could look at the spec file generated by checkinstall, but I just
use it as is.

Another package for creating rpms at the installation step is
make_uninstall.  It's a shell script so you can see exactly how it builds
spec files:

ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/package/make_uninstall-2.0.8.tar.gz

I had to edit the make_uninstall script (mku) to replace "rpm -bb"
with "rpmbuild -bb" to get it to work on RH 8.0.

make_uninstall is a little more flexible (it allows you to add/remove files
in the installation), but checkinstall is a little easier to use.

What if a person want backward compatibility with previous versions of
rpm?  Is there some kind of built-in mechanism for this, or does the
script need to check the major version of rpm and act appropriately?

I bought, Uno card reader.
http://www.picstop.co.uk/pages/products/cardreaders/smimagemate.htm
and although it's a UK site, I've seen readers that are the same shape
in other parts of the world.

It works perfectly, and it was advertised with Solaris support- which is
the only reason why I bought it.

The chipset is from OnSpecInc.

Although a Megadata card-reader doesn't work with any effort. A Lexar
card reader (lexaremedia.com? - can't remember the name or model)
worked  the same

With my card reader, pop-it into the USB; it would be as easy as. I
suspect in these things that the Compact Flash itself would always be
the weak-point in the system rather than the reader; but I've had no
problem handling photos of great sentimental value. While on holiday,
able to witness first hand compact flash which would corrupt pictures
(which Dad used as an excuse for a new digital camera). This may be
something that needs a bit of thought.

Actually, given that you suspect that the XF86COnfig is inappropriate that 
doesn't help much.  It would be better to do a "/sbin/lspci -v | grep VGA"  
and then a "/sbin/lspci -n".  Matching up the output of the PCI bus info 
for the VGA controller from the first output with latter output will give 
the exact chipset.  However, from a quick Google of the XFree86 site and 
the information provided below this is not necessary.  Also, it's 
definitely not a savage, which is what I had some extra information on 
which might have helped.

No.  It's Rendition/Micron http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.1/Status27.html#27

Replace the Driver "vga" with Driver "rendition" in the XF86Config file.

Try the following:

First, backup your exisiting /etc/X11/XF86config somewhere and then as 
root, from the command-line: "XFree86 -configure"  this will generate a 
basic /etc/X11/XF86Config file.  Examine it to see if the Driver 
"rendition" line is put in there.  If it isn't then edit it in by hand and 
try starting the server.

I guess the question still remains as to why the installation program 
didn't pick up this chip properly though.  I think you should maybe ask on 
the redhat-xfree86 list for further help

Midnight Commander problem with RH 8.0

2002-11-16 Thread Mircea
Hi,

I recently installed Redhat 8.0 on my machine and I'm having a problem 
with Midnight Commander. In Redhat 7.2, while in MC, I used to hit 
"Enter" on a RPM file and browse its content. I could either install or 
upgrade a package directly from MC. In RH8 however, some of the rpm's 
are not browsable ... MC is showing "ERROR" when I try to browse them. 
Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? And also , how should I 
set the X terminal so that is fully compatible with MC? When i hit F10 
to quit MC , the terminal's menu bar gets activated and the keystroke 
doesn't "get" to MC.

Thank you...

This is just a guess, but 30K may be the filesize limit set up on the 
AOL server you are using to connect with AIM. My brother tried to upload 
a huge file, (using the Windows AIM version), and it would quit at 
somewhere around 30K.

Probably what you want to do is open port 22 on your firewall and use 
sftp. If the machine you are trying to upload to is a M$ OS box, they 
will need to get psftp.exe (Putty Secure ftp) from:

I don't know.  I just changed the mku script to replace all occurrences
of "rpm -bb" with "rpmbuild -bb".  rpmbuild is available as far back
as RH 7.1, but not earlier. 

I'd guess that you could use "rpmbuild -bb" instead of "rpm -bb" for RH 7.x
and RH 8.0.  If you're worried about rpmbuild not being present on an
earlier Red Hat system, you could use the following script:

 RPMBUILD=`type -path rpmbuild`

 if [ -x "$RPMBUILD" ]
 then
BUILDCMD=$RPMBUILD
 else
BUILDCMD=/bin/rpm
 fi

and then use "$BUILDCMD -bb" to do the builds.  This presumes that all
versions of rpmbuild have the "-bb" functionality (I'd think they would).

Jeff Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, the Red Hat rpm guru, could give you a
definitive answer.

Martin thank you for writing that!  I just used Linux Rescue for the

tried kudzu, which only gave me a message about the printer, and then I 
read in the book, "Red Hat Linux 7.3 Bible" about mouseconfig which 
cured the problem.  I'd installed the Compaq mouse as a MS Intellimouse, 
as suggested on the installation page for the mouse, but it turns out 
the mouse is a Logitech.

For us newbies, there are thousands of little things like this we need 
to learn, to get up to speed with Linux.

Going from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.18-17 broke the nVidia drivers on my box.
I'm visiting my folks with the laptop so haven't had change to upgrade
the box with the nVidia card to 2.4.18-18 yet. I've not even got around
to reading the release notes for the kernel update yet.

I would expect it to break the nVidia drivers, since the modules are in
/lib/modules/kernelversion/. 

I personally have the tar files on my box to recompile with each new
kernel that I install- so have not looked at specific versions from
nVidia.

rpm-4.1-9 lockup problem found, fix within?

2002-11-16 Thread Warren Togami
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77988

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
rpm-4.1-1.06 was initially broken with some race condition that would 
cause lockups very often (with and without apt-get.)  Since then 
rpm-4.1-9 was released as test packages.  The reports of rpm-4.1-9 
locking up may have been this bug in rpm that Conectiva fixed a few 
months ago.  Those people who were using apt-get but aborted left behind 
__db* files which blocked rpm from working properly.  Please check out 
these links:

http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/rpm-list/2002-November/002126.html
http://bugzilla.conectiva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4823
http://bugzilla.conectiva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4688

The fix mentioned in the above links have subsequently been tested on 
Red Hat and SuSE, although I'm not exactly sure why it works since rpm 
itself (without apt-get) leaves behind __db* files after normal use.  
Could someone please explain how this works?

Most of Conectiva's Bugzilla is in Portuguese so I cannot read their 
solution to this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat 8.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use 3rd party apt-get.
2. CTRL-C abort before it finishes.

Actual Results:  
rpm fails.

Expected Results:  
rpm should be able to handle this situation.

I think it's just a bug. You might report the bug, but we need to know

As I understand gcj, it aims at two alternatives

a) to produce native binary code from java source
   Using it this way you have to recompile the ant source in to a
   (Linux) binary and may not need JAVA_HOME

b) to produce Java VM code as an alternative to javac
   Using it this way you use ant just as usual with one of the

KDE Multimedia problem with K 3.0.4 from src.

2002-11-16 Thread Rob Blomquist
I upgraded to psyche right when it came out, and was disgusted with bluecurve 
and the way RH handled KDE, so I uninstalled KDE by rpm, and reinstalled from 
KDE source code.

I am having all sorts of problems with Real Player, Noatun, XMMS,  KSCD, and 
probably a few more, but that's the core that I want running.

I have found that most run well as root, so I can only imagine that RH runs 
them suid root. Under 3.0.4 src that's not right. I have given a long list of 
multimedia files in /dev permissions to run for users other than root, 
typically 755 (I think), but I still haven't gotten the critical file.

Any ideas?

mplayer, there are a bunch of rpms over at freshrpms.net
The following lists were the ones I needed, simply download them all to
a single directory, then "rpm -ivh *.rpm"
aalib-1.4rc4-fr3.i386.rpm
divx4linux-4.0-fr2.20011025.i386.rpm

You will need the codec package from- I'm can't convinced by google that
they need to go into /usr/lib/win32 put am not 100% sure.
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html

bunzip2 w32codec.tar.bz2(assuming from your home-dir ~/)
tar xvf w32codec.tar
mkdir /usr/lib/win32(super-user)
cd /usr/lib/win32
mv ~/w32codec-0.90/* /usr/lib/win32/


Then 
gmplayer someurl-pointing-to-windows-media.asx
- this needs to be the actual url pointing to the asx file; I tend to
view-source on the pages to read between the html embed tags to find the
media source. It might be as simple as when mozilla asks what to do with
video/ms-asx to just enter "gmplayer" as the command. Personally I don't
mind fiddling around.

Actually, given that you suspect that the XF86COnfig is inappropriate
that 
doesn't help much.  It would be better to do a "/sbin/lspci -v | grep
VGA"  
and then a "/sbin/lspci -n".  Matching up the output of the PCI bus info

for the VGA controller from the first output with latter output will
give 
the exact chipset.  However, from a quick Google of the XFree86 site and

the information provided below this is not necessary.  Also, it's 
definitely not a savage, which is what I had some extra information on

No.  It's Rendition/Micron http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.1/Status27.html#27

Replace the Driver "vga" with Driver "rendition" in the XF86Config file.

Try the following:

First, backup your exisiting /etc/X11/XF86config somewhere and then as 
root, from the command-line: "XFree86 -configure"  this will generate a 
basic /etc/X11/XF86Config file.  Examine it to see if the Driver 
"rendition" line is put in there.  If it isn't then edit it in by hand
and 
try starting the server.

I guess the question still remains as to why the installation program 
didn't pick up this chip properly though.  I think you should maybe ask
on 
the redhat-xfree86 list for further help

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and checked for the "rendition"
line and it is there.  However, when I run startx it starts up but is
unusable.  Looks like the horizontal sync is out.  Had to shutdown the
server to recover.

I'll go ahead an post this question on the xfree86 list but I'll check
back here too for any additional suggestions and report any success.

Thanks All,

Importing Outlook Express 6 messages into Mozilla Mail 1.0.1

2002-11-16 Thread Lanny Marcus
Hello everyone:

I am trying to Import the Messages from MS Outlook Express 6, for my 
main e-mail account, into Mozilla 1.01.  The Mozilla Mail Help says that 
one can Import messages from Outlook Express, but when I try to do that, 
the only format is supports is Netscape Communicator 4.x.

I am able to access my VFAT partition and have Imported the Outlook 
Express Address Book (as a .CSV file) into Mozilla Mail, but now I'm stuck.

According to the Package Management, Add or Remove Packages, for 
Graphical Internet Packages, Netscape is not one of the RPM's available 
for installation. Seems like I read in the Release Notes or 
documentation that was the case.

If someone can explain how to do this, hopefully in terms I (and other 
Newbies with this problem) can understand, I will be very grateful.

One of the reasons I decided against Evolution for my e-mail client was 
that it said it cannot Import from Outlook Express. The other reason I 
chose against it was I was unable to copy from a message and paste into 
a Compose Window.

Another question is what e-mail clients for Psyche permit Importing 
Messages and Address Books from MS Outlook Express 6?

TIA for your time and help!

Lanny in Cali, Colombia, South America

So, then XFree86 does decide that this is not an S3 chip and that the 
appropriate driver is "rendition".

Hopefully you'll get some more help there, but I think I saw that Mike A. 
Harris also answered in this thread?  He's Red Hat's XFree86 guy and is 
most likely to be able to help.  Other places to try are on the xfree86 
lists themselves.  There are two: xpert and newbie 
http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo and the best thing would be to 
post first on newbie asking if anyone has a sample XF86Config and then to 
ask on Xpert if you get no answers on newbie.  (You'll need to make sure 
that your monitor horiz/vert refresh rates are adjusted properly in the 
XF86Config).

Sorry I can't be more help.

anaconda problem: annoyance

2002-11-16 Thread Rob Blomquist
I have an Epson C80 printer connected to LPT1 that after suffering with CUPS 
under RH7.3 was detected and installed automagically by anaconda.

Now, every time I boot the machine up, leaving the printer off, I get Anaconda 
wanting to uninstall the drivers.

I am getting rather weary of this annoyance, and wonder if there is a way to 
stop it. I imagine that I could stop anaconda from running at boot, but is 
there another way?

I've just looked on a Windows machines running Mozilla 1.1, and it has
the option for Outlook Express as an import. My guess is that it may be
dependent upon some Windows DLL's to actually do the import.

I find Evolution much better than Mozilla, it might import data from
Mozilla's mail store- though I've not tried. Evolution 1.2 seems much
more improved to me, so the new version of Evolution might appeal more
(read back on this list for more info)- once you get data across from
Windows.

I don't understand you not been able to copy from a message to a new
compose window. That certainly works for me, highlight the text w/mouse
to copy, then middle (or both) mouse button(s) to paste.  Maybe I've
misunderstood what you mean.

Netscape was replaced by Mozilla, and that's somewhere in the release
notes (maybe not psyche but earlier).

I'm not sure, because I don't use KDE, but I was told that Kmail is able
to import from Outlook Express, and the files Kmail uses can be used by
Mozilla as well. The other possibility is to import the Outlook Express
mails into Netscape or Mozilla *in Windows* (because in Windows there is
a MAPI thing that allows the import).

Re: RedHat 8.0 and TNT2 Ultra

2002-11-16 Thread Christopher A. Williams




I just successfully upgraded to 2.4.18-18 while maintaining my NVidia video drivers installation. You need the source RPM files to to accomplish this. Here's how I did it:

Upgrade to kernel 2.4.18-18 via RHN
Reconfigure XFree86 to use the vesa driver.
Reboot to the new kernel
switch to runlevel 3 (init 3)
uninstall the old NVidia drivers removing the GLX driver first! ( rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123 and then rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123)
Uninstall the old kernel (rpm -e kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0)
Delete the modules directory for the old kernel (rm -Rf /lib/modules/2.4.18-17.8.0)
Rebuild new NVidia rpms for the new kernel from source (rpmbuild -rebuild -target i686 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.src.rpm)
Copy / move the new RPMs from /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686 to a convenient place
install the new RPMs starting with the NVIDIA_kernel one
Reconfigure XFree86 back to use the nvidia driver

That's it. It's a pain to do but it works consistently for me.

Cheers,

Chris WIlliams

Going from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.18-17 broke the nVidia drivers on my box.
I'm visiting my folks with the laptop so haven't had change to upgrade
the box with the nVidia card to 2.4.18-18 yet. I've not even got around
to reading the release notes for the kernel update yet.

I would expect it to break the nVidia drivers, since the modules are in
/lib/modules/kernelversion/. 

I personally have the tar files on my box to recompile with each new
kernel that I install- so have not looked at specific versions from
nVidia.

Mozilla 1.01 in Linux does not have that feature (although the Help says 
that it does).  I do have Mozilla 1.1 on that box on MS Windows, so I am 
going to try to Import first into Mozilla 1.1 as Martin suggested 
(below). Thanks!

> once you get data across from Windows.

I can access the VFAT data without any problem from Linux, the problem 
is importing the Outlook Express 6 messages into Mozilla Mail 1.0.1

I haven't tried that method, but I will try it. The method that does 
*NOT* work for me in Evolution Mail is the drop down menu, "Edit, Copy" 
and then "Edit, Paste", which works for me in Kmail and Mozilla Mail 
1.0.1, without any problem.

Thanks!  I am going to try Importing my Outlook Express 6 Messages into 
Mozilla Mail 1.1 in MS Windows on that box and then see if I can Import 
the Messages into Mozilla Mail 1.0.1 in Linux, since it's dual boot and 
I have no problem accessing the data on the VFAT partition.

Re: Video Card recommendation

2002-11-16 Thread Robert L. Cochran
There have been some lengthy threads on video cards that you might want
to check out -- I think either on the Limbo list archives or on this
list, and possibly both.

As to AGP 4x compatibility -- that means the card is compatible with
1.5v AGP slots. Some new motherboards take only 1.5v AGP cards and you
have to make sure the card is compatible -- just moving an AGP 2x card
to a 4x only AGP slot may damage the motherboard. Some motherboard
manuals warn you about this. Some don't. This is a lesson I'm learning a
little late in the day.

I have the manuals for an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and a PNY Verto GeForce4
MX 420 here. Both are AGP cards. Neither tells you specifically what the
voltage requirement of the card is or gives any caution about
motherboard requirements. Which I think is stupid, at best. You will
find on ATI's web site that the Radeon 9000 is indeed 1.5v compliant. I
have yet to see this same information for the Verto card, the manual
just says "AGP 2x or better".

Thanks

Not a bug?  Hmm, I guess a car manufacturer could just switch the brake

Yeah, we know what's going on now with the prompt, but it doesn't mean
it's not screwed up.  Anyhow if you want to take the attitude that
Psyche is great and the users need to read more manuals before
attempting to use it then fine.

Go ahead and miss Psyche.  Spend the time reading programming
