After you've installed an RPM, don't refer to it by it's full
package-file
name anymore.
Try 'rpm -qi gdk-pixbuf'
Unfortunately I'm not sure that 'src' rpms are even listed in the
database,
as nothing really depends on them anyhow, so what's the point? To
check
what src rpms you've got, go to '/usr/src/redhat' and probably SPECS,
which
will have all the .spec files of the source rpms you've installed.

I think the problem has more to do with how the guts of Linux works
than
anything else. I have the same problem on my K6-2-350. Any
"serious"
activity other than just simple viewing or typing makes xmms sound
like a
tape jammed in the rollers. Linux is simply giving up cpu cycles to
the
other processes at the expense of xmms. Not too much you can do
about it,
really. Xmms is a pretty big resource hog by itself (relatively
speaking).
If you run into the problem so much you can't stand it, try using
mpg123
from the command line. It'll play 192k MP3s on my dinky P90 laptop
(as long

with any

Subject: kernels modules not loading automatically after kernel upgrade
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:46:24 GMT
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (blair christensen)
hello,
i recently upgraded the kernel on a dell poweredge 4400 running
redhat
6.2. stock it came with 2.2.14-5 with several loadable kernel
modules. i compiled 2.2.16 (with the same kernel modules) on the box
yesterday.
the problem is that none of the modules are loaded automatically upon
boot any longer. i can load them fine manually (and they are in fact
loading from the proper directory for the kernel), but they won't get
loaded upon boot. obviously, this causes problems.
depmod doesn't report any errors when run.
any hints or suggestions?
thanks,

It might help if you download the latest pcmcia cardservices source.
Go
to http://pcmcia.sourceforge.org/ for info and the source. Then
follow
the instruction to compile and install it. Restart pcmcia and see if
it
helps. I don't know what version mandrake uses, but it's a revised
redhat, so it will probably be version 3.1.8. They are now currently
at
3.1.17.
I had the same problem when I installed redhat 6.0 six months ago. It
was simply the fact that that version of pcmcia had no support for my
cards. Installed a new version and everything worked.

Subject: Rebuilt kernel, can't find DAC960 module
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:46:24 GMT
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
I have a PII SMP system running RedHat 6.2. I have two logical
drives
created from a Mylex DAC960 controller.
The RedHat install recognised the controller, and I'm actually
booting
from the logical drive. I assume this is handled by the kernel
loading
a ramdisk to hold the appropriate modules (that initrd= line in lilo,
right?), which mount the appropriate filesystems, and everything is
go.
I want to rebuild my kernel now, but I'm confused on some points.
First, can't I include the DAC960 module directly into the kernel so
I
don't have to use a ramdisk? I can't find the DAC960 listed in
menuconfig's SCSI drivers section.
Also, I've read the how-to about kernel rebuilds, but it doesn't
mention
"make modules" and "make modules_install", but other people say
they're
needed. Do I need these steps? What are they for?
When I do the build, I get errors like "Kernel Panic, CRC error" or
"Cannot load DAC960.o". Why can't my new kernel find that module?
Any
suggestions?

You're right, must've been thinking 6.0. You could always try the
3.3.6
from 6.2. IIRC, that requires a glibc upgrade too though. You might
also
try the search engine at redhat.

Based upon what you have asked, I'm assuming that you are using
dialup
ISP services. Most often, an IP address is assigned to your machine
from a pool of available addresses when you connect to your ISP's
network. You will have
a different address each time you connect. On a RedHat system you
could
look in /var/log/messages for a line telling you what IP address you
have been assigned.
Assuming you know your assigned address is v.x.y.z, you could connect
to
apache from any computer on the internet using http://v.x.y.z/

Please
To see which IP address(es) your machine currently has, enter
"/sbin/ifconfig" at the command line. The "lo" interface is the
loopback
network, which is always present and always 127.0.0.1.
To reach your machine from the outside world, you need nothing more
than
an IP address and a network connection. It's just
http://208.176.111.37/
if you don't have a domain name. However, static IPs are getting
hard to
find these days. Normally, cable modem/DSL/dialup service providers
assign you a dynamic IP via DHCP, and the IP of your machine can
change
without warning, making it more difficult than it should be to
connect to
your home computer. There's a partial solution at http://dyndns.org
.
If you want to access your machine using something like
http://my.place.org/ , then you need to purchase a domain name, and
you
need to either run named and BIND on your machine (and probably have
it up
24/7) or have your machine's IP and domain added to a nameserver
somewhere.
Further information available in the Net-3 HOWTO and Networking HOWTO
on
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/ .

If this is a SCSI tape drive, it's under /dev/nst0 (Non-rewinding

Tape 0) and /dev/st0 (rewinding SCSI Tape 0). If it's IDE, then it's

Dear Newsgroup,
I am a new user of linux and I am trying to get it installed on my

install linux in a DOS/Windows partition, it copies all the data but
when I try to boot off it, it doesn't work, NOR does it load LILO.
However, when I choose to install in it a Native Linux partition on
/dev/hdc, it creates the partition, makes it bootable, attempts but
fails to create the filesystem.
I have a Pentium 166Mhz, 48Mb RAM, 3 hdd (8Gb, 1.2Gb, 87Mb (/dev/hda,
/dev/hdc, /dev/hdd), CD-ROM, Win98SE on /dev/hda1 (all 8Gb of
/dev/hda),
nothing on the other two. I only have three partitions (one on each
drive).

?? This is very different from my experiences. For me, xmms on a
K6-2
400 eats 5% of the CPU, and it's possible to run Netscape, Oracle 8i,
several xterms, distributed.net, serve files to the lan at 300K/s via
NFS,
and compile a kernel all at the same time without hearing any
skipping.
On a P-150, xmms eats more like 12% of the CPU, but it's possible to
run
Netscape and a couple of xterms at the same time without causing
skipping.
ISTR that certain releases of xmms had problems. Get the latest
version
from http://xmms.org/ or if you're using the latest version,
downgrade a
couple of steps. I'm using 1.0.1 FWIW.

Why can't you log into your computer anymore just because you screwed
the XF86Config?
Have you tried to CTRL-ALT-F1 (or aother F keys) to get a
textual login prompt?
: mount it from my rescue disk it says, "couldm't mount RDWR because

: Has anybody got any ideas what this means and how I can mount this

Then you should just be able to click the "start interface at boot
time" in the network control panel; or edit it manually in
/etc/sysconfig.

Subject: kernel 2.2.5 question
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:46:24 GMT
From: Kerry Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Howdy all. We're using an older kernel for use on a trafic link box
which captures traffic images and then converts them into .jpg images
for display on our web site. We're using a customized 2.2.5 kernel
which
only supports the metoer module required to run our video capture
card.
However, every evening it crashes. This is the error message I get in
/var/log/messages
Jun 26 16:10:02 cam kernel: VFS: file-max limit 4096 reached
Jun 26 16:10:10 cam kernel: Unable to load interpreter
Jun 26 16:12:00 cam kernel: Unable to load interpreter
Jun 27 04:02:00 cam last message repeated 2 times
This is the last message I get before it crashes totally. I have
tried
recompiling the kernel is adjust for this option, but can't seem to
find
anything that might be causing this. If anyone has any suggestions, I
would be more than happy to hear them. I need to make this box more
stable. Thanks.
