This would indicate that dhclient wasn't running when you issued the command or conceivably you have some problem with the permissions in /var/run. Was the interface up when you issued the command? Check with "ps" to see if dhclient is running. If it's not, bring up eth0, check that dhclient is running, then issue the "dhclient -r" which should release the lease and cause dhclient to terminate. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

"ntpdate" worked fine, but "ntpd" failed to synchronize and didn't log any problems in the "messages" file. I turned off "authenticate" which didn't help.

Mozilla in psyche is excruciatingly slow
Mozilla runs painfully slowly on my RH 8.0 machine. Clicking on a link takes 30-40 seconds to bring up the new page. During this time, "top" shows mozilla using 96% CPU time. The same experiment with konqueror or galeon brings up the page in about one second. Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? Any suggestions would be welcome. I haven't figured out how to make java, javascript and a couple plugins work with galeon or konqueror, so I'm not anxious to switch browsers. Unfortunately, I *need* java/javascript to use some of our internal web pages.

This works for me. This copy had been running for about a day. I restarted it some time yesterday to see if that would help the speed; it didn't. The memory cache was set to 4096 KB and the disk cache was set at 5 KB. Clearing the caches didn't appear to help, nor did setting them to memory = 1024 KB and disk = 4096 KB and then clearing them again.

Well, first of all Pan is a newsreader and it comes with 8.0. If it's not installed, just install it from the CD or get the latest version from http://pan.rebelbase.com. The latest stable version is 0.13.2 and the latest beta is 0.13.2.92. When you do "rpm -e", you just want to use the package name as opposed to the name of the rpm file. If there's just one version installed, then "rpm -e opera" should get rid of it. The same thing is true if you're querying installed packages. The only time you specify the rpm file is when you're installing a package or querying the rpm file: rpm -Uvh foo.rpm rpm -q foo rpm -qi foo rpm -qip foo.rpm If you have some version installed, rpm -ivh will install the new version without removing the old one; rpm -Uvh will remove the old one and install the new one. Did you get an 8.0 version of opera? If you want to install the static version, you should be able to do: rpm -e opera rpm -Uvh opera-6.11-20021129.1-static-qt.i386.rpm -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

I don't THINK there's a networking problem; everything else seems normal and it's hard to imagine why a networking problem would affect mozilla and not konqueror or galeon. I did have multiple instances of mozilla, but they were using different profiles, so they weren't sharing cache/configuration directories. One of them was running through an ssh session from home. That session got disconnected overnight and now this morning I can't reproduce the problem, even when I run another instance of mozilla through a remote ssh connection (from the Sparc/Solaris machine in my office). At the moment, mozilla is noticeably slower than galeon or konqueror, but not painfully slow. I'll check further when the problem recurs. pete -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Note that if the the time is too far off, nptd can't resync. You should make sure you list the time servers in /etc/ntp/step-tickers. If you do that, the startup code will use ntpdate to set the time correctly before attempting to start the daemon. Normally this matters only at bootup time, since once the daemon is running properly, it will keep time synchronized properly. In the step-tickers file, you can just list the servers, separateed by spaces, e.g.: server1 server2 server3 -- pete peterson Teradyne, Inc.; 7 Technology Park Drive; Westford, MA 01886-0033 +1-978-589-7478 (Office); +1-978-589-2088 (FAX); [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
8.0 Installation -- Graphical Network Configuration Broken
I selected custom/graphical install. Set up partitions ans mount points OK. Got to "Network Configuration". Selected eth0 & did "Edit" Specified "Active on Boot", no DHCP, Specified IP and NetMask Did "OK" At this point, I tried to enter the host name and "Miscellaneous Settings", but the mouse was not active in anything but the top pane of that window. I could toggle the "Active on Boot" checkbox and I could activate the "Edit" button, but could not enter the hostname, gateway or DNS servers. I also could not toggle the "Set the hostname" radio buttons at this point. I checked the MD5 sums on the CDs *and* did media check on discs 1-3.

Well, if it wants "port:protocol", you want "123:udp" or "ntp:udp" if it recognizes names.
