Subject: new?? Netscape bug
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 00:35:47 GMT
I've downloaded and installed the Netscape 4.6 RPM on a RedHat 6.0 system. I'm
seeing a problem that I can duplicate. I'm creating a new message - either
email or newsgroup - and I want to include a link from from my bookmarks.html
file. I select the site out of bookmarks (in the browser) so that its url is
in the location box. If I try to click and drag the mouse across it the url
will be partically selected then will freeze the system hard - no keyboard, no
mouse. I can't even ctrl-alt-bksp.
My question is if anyone else is having that problem? I can pretty much
duplicate it at will on my machine but haven't seen any mention of it in the
col groups or on Netscape's site (leading me to belive it's just my
configuration). I've verified the fontpath for X, have tried having fewer
apps open - all to no avail.
TIA,
Bill

It's probably not as risky as it seems since a sync is done by apmd before
going into standby or suspend. Plus, the suspense will of thrashing

An experienced Unix sysadmin will look at the installed crontabs to see
what the vendor has running, when installing a system, and will rework
them to better fit the system's use pattern. If the machine is going
to used in typical desktop fashion (powered off when not in use), the
experienced user will configure the system so the critical background
operations still occur as often as required. A tool like anacron may
well be a part of this.
The problem is that Redhat doesn't install anacron. The default Redhat
setup only works when the machine is left on 24x7, and many users won't
run it like that. While an experienced user knows what to do to fix it,
the neophyte is going to need some handholding.

Yes, that seems to be the most common recommendation I've been getting
here in response to my plea for help (thanks, everybody! :-) ).
>3) Your partitioning scheme is really, really strange.
Well, then so is my SuSE manual and 80% of the people I've "talked to"
on the Usenet. :-) Seriously, though, I think that there are as
many different philosophies and methods as there are stars in the sky
when it comes to partitioning Linux. I based my partitioning on the
recommendations in the SuSE manual, and numerous recommendations from
other users on these newsgroups. Nearly everyone recommended 100 meg
partition for root, and same for /home. The SuSE manual recommends a
separate partition for /opt. Some people, but very few, recommended
one big partition and be done with it. What's right? What's the
best? Darned if I know. The SuSE manual actually recommends 180 megs
for the root partition. As I said in a much earlier posting, the
whole issue of partitioning remains one of the most baffling aspects
of installing Linux, to me. In my first installations of Linux
(Slackware, RedHat 5.2) I did the one partition thing, although I
recall that at least the Red Hat manual recommended several
partitions. One big partition certainly makes things easier in one
respect, but I was getting a strong feeling that multiple ones were
really best.

Yes, and I seem to still choose to ignore this one, for better or
worse. I make the swap match my existing RAM in size (in this case,
64 megs).
>4) You have extra space in the machine for root's use only, so a 100% full

Well, when it did say it was 100% full, I was getting a *lot* of weird
messages (aka, failures) at startup and shutdown, plus I could no
longer run YaST. I figured I somehow screwed up the filesystem real
bad, and I wiped everything out and re-installed. This time around
I'm slightly more intelligent, and I caught the fact that the root
partition is just filling up! On the bright side, at the moment it's
holding at between 58-60% capacity. We'll see what happens in the
short-term future.
Again, thanks to you and all others who responded to my posting.
Personally, through forums like this I find support for Linux *easier*
to find than support for M$ Windoze. :-)

The one thing that continues to grow in linux (and should eventually shrink
once in a while) is /var/log. Every error, every kernel message is saved in
the logs. Go into
YaST-> System Admin-> Alter configuration
Somewhere in that long list of config options, there're a few about how the
logs are kept, how long before they're deleted, etc.
I think the default is a few weeks, so you might want to try reducing it to
about 4 days.

That's no-where NEAR enough for /var in 200Megs...

X has some security features to prevent users from tampering with other
users screens and applications. Makes sense really.
If your on a single non-networked machine, then typing xhost + (as the user
before you su -), then this grants permission for anyone on any host to
manipulate your screen...
If your on a network, xhost + localhost is probably safer.

Well, I am using a standard SuSE 6.1 installation.
As to the BIOS, I will ascertain whether or not I need a new BIOS
before purchasing. If it can't use my current BIOS (or at least an
updated Phoenix BIOS), then I don't think I'll go for it, since I
understand that their BIOS is very bare bones and has trouble with
large hard drives. However, if I were to change BIOS, I would first
download a copy of the BIOS from the OEM website and put it on a
floppy, so I could reflash it back to the original if necessary.

I'd _guess_ the presence of the time_t ints in T1 and T2 are

Well, one fundamental point - you _always_ want to be able to boot.
This has a few corollaries. Put as little in root as is possible.
Particularly, never put dynamic files in root. (/tmp and /var
hold a number of arbitrarily sized files, they should be on
separate partitions, because filling up /tmp or /var is far
less serious a problem than filling up /root.
Redhat's latest install instructions suggest a separate /boot, and
I did it that way, but I don't really consider important, if you
are keeping / small. I've run on a 40M root, and never had a
problem. 100M is plenty.
/home, though, is another story. This is the area where usage is
least consistent. A server machine may need very little, a desktop
graphic artist's machine may need terabytes.
I think my setup is fairly typical:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 80303 30682 45474 40% /
/dev/sda5 20803 3616 16113 18% /boot
/dev/sda6 40629 24375 14156 63% /var
/dev/sda11 74343 34 70470 0% /tmp

/dev/sdb1 304968 255680 49288 84% /mnt/dos/d
/mnt/dos points to my rarely used Win95 dual-boot.
/old points to my old Redhat 5.0 system. (Rather than upgrade, I install
in parallel to my existing system.)
