Recovering a Damaged RH 8.0 System

2003-03-28 Thread Robert Styma
I am working with another person repairing a damaged RH 8.0 system. Now that we know what is wrong, how could this happen becomes an interesting question. Here is the exact scenario. This is a laptop loaded with RH 8.0 and a number of diagnostic tools. Up2date had just been run and the machine s

Screen Savers on RH8 causing lockups

2003-01-13 Thread Robert Styma
The default action on a RH8.0 node is to go through a series of amazing and amusing screen savers. When you touch the mouse the machine jumps back to life. Certain of these seem to lock up the machine taking 100% of the CPU and preventing the unlock. The mobius screen saver is one of them. The

Strange Man Page behaviour/output

2003-01-10 Thread Robert Styma
My newest Rh 8.0 machine has strange 'man' behaviour. On local terminals, it does not create a problem, but when telnet'ing in from another type of system, the unusual characters output do not work. This is a fresh install of RH8.0 with RHN used to bring all installed packages up to date. In the

How do I I turn off RHN rollback?

2003-01-10 Thread Robert Styma
When I loaded my new machine with Red Hat 8, It asked me if I wanted to be able to roll back changes made during RHN/up2date updates. I would like to turn this off but cannot find a config file or dialog option to make this change. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you for your

Redhat 8 is pretty good about identifying and configuring monitors during the install process. Assuming a clean install (not an upgrade), the install process would show you what monitor and graphics card it thought it was using. I would get you have not done anything useful on that system yet (wi

DC10+ Video Capture Card Woes on RH8.0

I am trying to get my DC10+ video capture card to work on the Linux Redhat 8.0 system I just built at home. For an assortment of reasons, one being to prove that Linux can do anything windows can do, I want to do my video capture using the Linux box. The box is a clean install of RH8.0 from t

I have recently loaded Redhat 8.0 on a new machine from the iso.org downloadable disks and then brought everything up to snuff with the Red Hat Network. I am running across some strange anomolies I have not seen on other UNIX like systems including earlier versions of Linux. For example: The foll
