Mount problem on Red Hat 8.0 (Seek Error)
Hello I have a mount problem on CDROM device on Red Hat 8.0. After mount attempt on this device I obtain a seek error and I have to kill the bash (yes, bash), where this mount process is running. The same occurs with any type of parameter on hdparm. It seems to be a problem of this Red Hat distribution, because red Hat 7.3 on this computer is going well. I announced this problem to bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78763 but I have no feed back yet. Have anybody the same problem?

Re: How much has RH8 gnome been nobbled?
Around about 02/12/2002 16:57, Havoc Pennington typed ... It's cddb aware as far as I remember. The source code definitely contains a lot of CDDB-related stuff. I feel almost sure I've seen it magically come up with album titles. I have to admit I didn't actually *try* it, I just went to the app's prefs. window and couldn't see it. Others have pointed out that gnome2 has [correctly] centralised these things. I'll check tonight. It's metacity not sawfish. It does however have the "bind command to key" feature, though you have to look under /apps/metacity in gconf-editor. Ah, it's gconf-editor I want, then - OK, I'd found & figured out the gconf-config command-line jobby (I'd not come across this before). Is it reasonably 'obvious' how to add metacity bindings? I may as well go with the flow on this and carry on using it, although sawfish is almost certainly more flexible, I've no great love for Lisp :-) -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: Calling all KDE fans!!
Something is trapping my first keypress but I sure cannot figure out what. I do notice that If I just press and release the key I get a diamond on the screen wherever the mouse pointer that explodes and then disappears. Does anyone have a clue wtf that is?? I think that is what is trapping my ctrl key presses. It is only the left key but that is the one I want to use. Missed the start of this thread, but I might have a clue; wandering around the various new gnome-2 prefs. windows, I saw (and disabled without trying) a 'highlight current location of pointer upon ' option.

Web Mail question : How to change the link to start OpenOffice instead of AbiWord
Hi All Folks, While viewing web mails on a website such as lycos.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, etc. clicking their attached documents will start 'AbiWord'. But unfortunately some documents created with MSOffice could not be read exactly in AbiWord in its original form, particularly, a table. The document must be read in OpenOffice to maintain its original shape. Kindly advise how to change the link to start OpenOffice instead of AbiWord Thanks in advance.

Few problems with Evolution
Hi all, I downloaded Evolution 1.2 rawhide, and now I have few questions (i never used it before, i use KDE): 1. Why it doesnn't use Bluecurve theme, which is set in Gnome as default, but instead it uses default Gnome look (very ugly in my opinion) ? 2. UTF8 and ISO8859-2 code pages doesn't work at all.

Running X on servers
Hello list, I was recently installing RedHat 8.0 in my office PC and noticed that it now comes with a package group labeled "Server Configuration Tools". Clicking on Details show that the set contain RPMs that RH put together to provide GUI front ends to configuration tools (others are config tools in themselves) - they are named redhat-config-.rpm. It seems to me that RH is now leaning towards using a GUI-based system. Brings me memories of when I had access to a Sun Netra-I running Solaris/SunOS, and x86 machines running WinNT/2K. Anyway, I think this goes against keeping server installations as lean as possible. Personally, I install and run servers using text mode only (most are headless machines with VERY low end video cards - most of my linux routers/firewalls/VPN gateways are even using ISA cards!!!). To me, running X on a server is not only illogical but a waste of precious resources and introducing a potential security risk. I also think that using text mode forces one to actually see/learn what is being done instead of hiding it behind GUI front-ends. Then again, I know RH is just trying to make it easy for new hostmasters (I'll refrain from calling them sysads) to use/configure these machines. In the end though, IMHO, it'll only introduce more incompetent hostmasters who call themselves sysadmins as soon as they learn the intricacies of the concept of point-and-click. And when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan, i.e. X wouldn't load, they're stuck there staring at the screen feverishly typing in MS-DOS commands like HELP and wondering why typing a command followed by "/?" doesn't show a syntax/help screen (ok a bit harsh, but you get the point).

Using a GUI is not that bad, as long as you takle the time to learn to configure the system by editing the files directly. My usual approach to configuring a new system is to use the GUI tools for initial configuration and then fine tune with good'ol vi. > > Anyway, I think this goes against keeping server installations as lean as > possible.

Remember that the GUI tools are essentially X apps, and thus you can have them run on the server and display on your workstation. Thus no X server on the server.

Hi: Well... Make it with GUI, make it by command line... the important thing is that you must know what are you doing. For me the GUI is very helpful when are used to parametrize some application or command with a lot of parameters.

Unfortunately, evolution filters are not exclusive, meaning that if a message hits one filter, it will continue to check other filters. Hopefully, the evolution developers will add exclusive filters in a future version. To get around multiple spams, I filter for spam in procmail, which adds unique spam header to the message, then I use one evolution filter to move them to the spam folder. I have my own anti-spam filter project (shameless plug -- see my sig), but spamassassin, vipul's razor, and most spam filters all use procmail as the delivery agent.

If you have moved your scripts over from a different version of Red Hat or another distro, it could be due to the default settings in /etc/php.ini in Red Hat 8.0. These are the two most common variable settings that bite people moving PHP to a default RH8 install.

system shuts off power when I startx (?!)
Running RH 8.0, with all the patches that the little red check mark has warned me about. I came in one afternoon to find my system powered off, and pushing the power button did no good. Took it in for diagnosis, and was called back: it worked for them. Sure enough, I went in, and there it sat. I've backed things I can't reinstall up to CD-R...but now I'm finding out a little more about the symptoms. When I log in and startx (call me paranoid; I start up in text mode), the Redhat splash window appears and things grind for a while as usual...and then the system abruptly powers off. I have to unplug before I can turn it back on. OK...is it the graphics card, or the NVidia driver I downloaded? Perhaps...so I log in as someone else and startx. No problem. So...something about how my X or Gnome session starts up is making the system unceremoniously shut off the power. Because it does that, checking the session log isn't going to find anything. Once I send this out, I will grab memtest86 and see whether my RAM is OK. Any suggestions would be welcome. How can I go back to the way that my X and Gnome sessions are initially set up for me?

re: How to change the link to start OpenOffice
Hi Jim, Thanks for your advice. From Control Center -> File Browsing -> File Associations ... I moved OpenOffice up on top of AbiWord I sent an email with an OfficeXP doc, a table inside, as attachment to my following email accounts respectively. yahoo.com hotmail.com lycos.com Only in yahoo.com the aforesaid document can be opened in OpenOffice and read correctly. In the other 2 websites on clicking the document it died automatically. It looks to me a little bid funny.

The key is to get a printer that understands native Postscript level 2. Not only will you get better quality print because Postscript is the native print language of linux/unix, but it will be at least twice as fast as a PCL printer since it doesn't have to convert Postscript to PCL.

Re: Changing the default mailto:
My ears are buzzing... I remember changing my default browser using /etc/htmlview.conf (or ~/.htmlviewrc) In Galeon, you can use the Settings/Handlers/Programs/Mailer setting of 'evolution "%u"' to have Galeon launch evolution. In Mozilla, if you can set it to use evolution instead of mozilla mail, it would have to be done via it's config file. I can't see anything obvious in the gui. I haven't tracked down yet how to set a Gnome default for this. Perhaps in gconf-editor?

You could try mapping that user to another local (unix) user if you don't want to add miyuki as a local unix user. Also, have you told samba where the domain controller (doing network logons) is located? Otherwise, you may need to use security=domain to get it to work if you are not using a network logon server. All this is documented in the man pages and the faqs at samba.org. Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Running X on Servers
>Your comment seems to come from a 'political' point of view, you must know the command line options to run Linux, this is not true. If you have nothing else to do with your time, by all means learn and run only in the command line mode. Just because you installed 'startx' on your machine it doesn't mean that you have to be in graphical mode all day. Do a 'startx' when you need to and leave the system in a char prompt the rest of the time. (simple solution!) I tested running 'startx' and a file processing test I have; on a 500Mhz AMD I lost 7-10% on a 1800+ AMD I lost 0% It was a simple test, but at some point in the processor speed range, servicing a 'startx' environment doesn't hurt much. Again use a 'startx' env. when you need to!! John A. Ward -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

RE: Compaq Presario 5610 cannot install RH8
Problem Solved! I finally was able to search bugzilla and found the solution there: bug#75377 It has a link to an update image for anaconda: http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/8.0-cdread.img The installer now works ok. It still could not read some of the largest rpm's (open office) but does not crash. so I installed without them. There are still some problems reading very large files from the DVD-ROM. I may have to ftp them from Red Hat. The system is now up and running and I can install the packages I want at my leisure. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of antonio montagnani Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 10:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Compaq Presario 5610 cannot install RH8 Iain Buchanan wrote: >On Tue, 2002-12-03 at 14:54, Cy Ball wrote: >[snip] > > >>The file /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/glibc-common-2.93-5.386.rpm cannot be opened. >>This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media.
