make menuconfig problems in RH8.0
Hi everibody in the list... Well I'have tried what many of you have suggested me, but still, the text structure is corrupted in menuconfig. * First I tried this: LANG=C make menuconfig same as alwaysnot a single change * then I tried, working with the fontsI followed Rob idea: A colleague claimed it could be circumvented by adjusting your fonts. Try doing a setfont alt-8x8 and then make menuconfig see if the problem goes away. Nop...this ease the problem since working with 8x8 font, make the screen area for text much bigger and menuconfig can place text in a sigle line, thus we have better Then rob suggested about rawhide: If you Run rawhide switching back between text consoles using a non-default setfont and X the text console will get all confused but I have a feeling that is probably the X server's fault but who knows... Sorry my ignorance, but I'don't exaclty know waht rawhide is...so is search for it in RH site and found a FTP address...rawhide caontains all the package in RH8...so what should I do...reinstall ? no..I don't think is that way. What I really think the poroblem is, is how lionux report to ncurses the proper size (widht and height) of the consolefor instance, I'dont have a problem with midnight commander, that means it's accurately reading WH form ...somewhere I don't know.

Thank you all and best regards... FYI packages come in three levels of stability. Theoretically in decreasing order of amount of testing/stability packages they go: 1. RedHat Releases ex. RH 8.0 2. RedHat beta Releases ex. phoebe ( (which is found on ftp.redhat.com mirrors in under redhat/beta/phoebe) 3. RedHat Rawhide which changes daily and is unstable. (which is found on ftp.redhat.com mirrors in under redhat/rawhide) If you are not comfortable living on the bleeding edge i.e. basically making your own working distribution based on RedHat and from various sources on the 'net (and it sound like you are not) I wouldn't recommend attempting to run Rawhide. For now why not just avoid ncurses kernel menuconfig by setting your term type to vt100 before doing a make menuconfig: ex. in tcsh: set term=vt100 make menuconfig or in bash: TERM=vt100 make menuconfig That won't be as pretty but I think that should bypass the problem without loosing functionality. If it doesn't let me know and I'll be less lazy and go sit down at the console of a box still running RH8.0 to test it out. ;o) Regards, Rob -- -Happiness is understanding.-- Robert Hardy C.E.O.

make menuconfig problems in RH8.0
Hi everybody... Sorry, but this bug in RH80 is bugging me all the time. When I issue the command make menuconfig everything works fine, except the video! The text structure is corrupted, and you simply not see what is going on, and selected the stuff that's is going to be compiled is actually harder that deciding what to compile!!! This issued, applies to : * any version of kernel * several platform I had tested * ncurses is not the problem since i compiled ncurses 5-3 and installed it and the problem remains.. * frame buffers is also not the problem since with or without it the problem remains the same Thank you and best regards...

I was bothered by this too. I solved it by upgrading to Rawhide YMMV. There are plenty of other glibc X issues which you run into in Rawhide... Unfortunately I'm not sure which package fixed it. A colleague claimed it could be circumvented by adjusting your fonts. Try doing a setfont alt-8x8 and then make menuconfig see if the problem goes away. If you Run rawhide switching back between text consoles using a non-default setfont and X the text console will get all confused but I have a feeling that is probably the X server's fault but who knows...

Try LANG=C make menuconfig If this overcomes the problem (I think it likely), then BZ the problem and circumvention. If not, report it anyway. -- Please, reply only to the list. ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
