Subject: kernel 2.4.5: create_module: Operation not permitted
Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2001 10:20:16 GMT
Hi everybody! I've just upgraded my old-multipatched ;-) 2.2.16 kernel
(S.u.S.E. 7.0) to the brand new 2.4.5 version and I've also upgraded all
the utilities (included modutils) following the Documentation/Changes
file.
Now I've got the following problem: When normal users (root works fine)
try to load some modules (for example alsa sound modules and cdrom) they
get the following error:
/lib/modules/2.4.5/misc/snd-mixer-oss.o: create_module: Operation not
permitted
/lib/modules/2.4.5/misc/snd-mixer-oss.o: insmod snd-pcm-oss failed
I've tried to revert back to 2.2.16 and everything is fine. So it
shouldn't be a /dev directory permissions problem neither a problem
related to modprobe permissions.
Please help me my system is hung!

Normal users can't and never have been allowed to load kernel modules.

No it isn't. Pray tell how you manage to get users other than root to
load modules under any kernel? Give us a clue (such as the command you

Ok thanks.
I had first tried this on my system before using the forum but with no

I have a small problem concerning XWindows font server. O.S. is Linux Red Hat

font" error message at me. I have set FontPath for my fonts, ISO8859-2, but
they don't work. The default setting "unix:/-1" doesn't work 'either
I have also tried to run xfs a million times with various confs, but it still
doesn't work.
There is one way this piece of s*** works! It happenes only when I put under

I'll stick by '_some_ distros', but give you '_most_ commercial
distros'.

I didn't say that they didn't use SysV's init. I said that they didn't
use SysV's phylosophy of organizing the init scripts.
I'd guess that most of the small distros (like tomsrtbt, etc.) use the
BSD-style init scripts, and at least one major distro (Slackware)
assuredly doesn't use them (although it has of late supported a bit of
it).

And I don't like having to go to hardware stores when I'm into a home
reno DIY project. But, that's a part of the definition of home reno
DIY, just like "building your own Unix system" is _defined_ (at least
in part) as "downloading certain things from Unix-sites". And don't
tell me that "Linux isn't Unix", because it's close enough to make the
differences moot.
>How else do people do it?
Either stick with the pre-packaged commercial products built
specifically for the distribution you use, or download apps (source,
RPM, TGZ, or whatever) and install them yourself. Of course, there are
other options, like hire someone to do it for you, but they get
expensive. ;-)

OK, OK! Maybe I was a little bit misleading in my first message. The
problem is that users can't access devices that are associated to
modules in modules.conf, in particular cdroms:

mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device

Subject: update or install RH 7.1?
Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2001 09:38:07 -0400
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi.
I was running RH 7.0 on a dual-boot with Win ME. My modem
(USR Performance Pro Internal PCI) required kernel 2.3 or
higher. Being a rookie, I decided to wait for a new kernel
in a distro rather than compiling myself. Also, I have not
been able to get Linux to detect my scanner or my digital
camera (Canon ELPH 2100).
I updated my 7.0 to RH 7.1 as per directions that came with
the CD. This changed nothing as far as getting my hardware
to work. Should I *install* rh 7.1 instead? I have no
files on my Linux partitions that I am unwilling to part
with. Any tips?
Thanks,
Damon

My one recommendation, don't spend so much on a raid/caching controller if
all
you will use is two drives. Pretty pointless. And for a server, your not
going to
need to worry about video card, monitor or cdrom speed necessarily. Drop
those
components to max out on memory.

My system is redhat v7.1 x86
I'm looking for a console based gui to manage rpm updates. So far I've tried
two different tools and had no success using either. Are there any free console
based gui rpm update tools?
I install the current version of purp today and upon running get the following error:
[ Purp 1.1.0 - (C)1998-2001 Anders Karlsson - press "A" for licence info ]
Purp: Oops! Caught a SIGSEGV.. Shutting down.. (fatal error)
is there anything else you are required to do after setup??
Nex I tried glitter, which appears to have some old dependencies.
When I installed newer versions of the software it was looking for it kept
asking for the old ones. Then when I tried the older versions, it had conflicts with
other software.

Subject: Linux with Integrated Graphics card on Motherboard
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 09:59:06 -0400
Anyone,
I am trying to get RH 7.0 up and running on a new POS Gateway PC (K-6). The
Graphics card (and most other devices for that matter) are embeded on the
motherboard. It is designed so that some of my system ram is used as video
ram, no idea of this when I bought system.
Anyway when RH is installing it shows me the Trident CyberBlade (generic) at
the point of the X-window config. If I select Test Config my screen goes
black for a minute or so and then comes back to the Installation GUI. It
never seems to install properly.
After successfully installing RH I can work great in the character mode but
if I do a startx my screen goes black and I never come back. Seems that
drivers are not working for X-windows on this motherboard. How did the GUI
install run if Linux will not support this graphics card?
Any ideas how to fix this issue???????
Info on Motherborad
Model: MP4M-23AGM
Rev: 1.0
Date: 00/08/22

Told by Gateway that graphics card info is:

Interesting. Don't you have the right aliases in /etc/modules.conf
for it? And isn't it /dev/scd0, not /dev/sr0? I'd imagine either the
names or the aliases or the majors have changed. Try it with something
you know hasn't changed, like floppy!
> thing that wasn't happening with the 2.2.16.
Well, so? You changed the kernel. You have to change modutils to go
with it. You did, did you not? Are you running devfs? Did you enable
kmod? What are the kernel messages you receive? Give us some info,
don't leave it blank!
oboe:/usr/info% ls -l /dev/scsi/cdrom/scd0
brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 0 Jul 18 1994 /dev/scsi/cdrom/scd0
and why are you trying to access a scsi disk? Do you HAVE a scsi disk?
Show me it on the /proc/scsi printout. Are you perhaps relying on a
scsi emulation that is no longer needed?
There's mounds and mounds of things you are not telling. Don't keep it
to yourself. You can't get help if you keep secrets!

It does SO work. And unix:/-1 is not the "default setting". That's if

Are you trolling? I was about to help you, but saying that "it only
hurts when I hit myself" stops me in my tracks. Run mkfontdir on your
font dirs. Take a non-working xfs out of your fontpath or fix it.

I set up some Virtualhosts on my server. Right. It walks :

Now, I test 'VirtualHomePages.conf' and/or 'DynamicVhosts.conf', in order
to enable "http://username.domain.tld"; to give content of
"/home/username/public_html. It's okay, it walks :
====== VirtualHomePages.conf ======
UseCanonicalName Off

CustomLog logs/access_log vcommon
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/%1/public_html

BUT : now, any requests to the Virtualhosts (Vhosts.conf, eg :
http://www.domain.tld) or even the main ServerName don't walk anymore !
Is there a solution to BOTH enable VirtualHomepages and 'normal'
Apache use ?
Thx a lot

You need to compile your kernel with module auto-loading support.

Oft times you can compile the source RPM to avoide these kinds of
conflicts (it links the package to your current set of libraries):
rpm --rebuild packagename-1.2.3.src.rpm
rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/packagename-1.2.3.i386.rpm

Either tell Xconfigurator to use VGA only, or buy a commercial X11
