RE: apache-ssl setup problem?

[Eddie Strohmier]

Gary:

You could make a symlink for perl5 in /usr/local/bin as
perl5 resides in
/usr/bin on my machine and I assume yours. Is this RH 6.2?
Check to be sure  yours is in /usr/bin or you could run the
rpm with the --nodeps flag to bypass the dependency. I would
say the save bet is just to make a symlink:

ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.00503 /usr/local/bin/perl5.00503

Do this as root of course and the rpm should install with no
problem.

I take it you're referring to the problem with the VIA 686 SouthBridge and

What did you rename them to?  You do know that the symling in rc0.d and
rc6.d have to start with a capital K, and a two digit number, right?
They are normaly symlinks to a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d.

Your file needs to be in the proper format.  Checkconfig wants a line:
# chkconfig: 345 40 60
Where 3, 4, and 5 are the levels to start at.  40 is the start value,
and 60 is the kill value.  (The symlinks will be named S40 and K60...)

Checkconfig also likes a discription in the file - I am not sure if it
is necessare, but it is a good idea.

Now, for your script to work, you have to test how it is called.  This
is because S## symlinks become start commands, and K## become stop
commands.

So you will probably want your file to have something like:
# chkconfig: 345 30 80
(The network script uses is 10 and 90.)

Re: How do I use fsck ?

[Charles Galpin]

Hoe gaan dit Pieter?

You will most likely need to make a trip to the site, or instruct someone
there how to do this.

You need to boot off a rescue floppy or cdrom, and run fsck on that
partition. 

It may fix the problems, and it may not. I have had a situation
where the file corruption occured to critical files which prevented the
machine from booting, even after running fsck. I had to carefully restore
files from backups until I could get it to boot. A bit hard to do over the
phone with someone.

I'm hoping you have backups available.

If this has happened before, suspect your hardware. In my case it was the
hard drive overheating, and then corrupting the filesystem - I won't buy
quantum anymore.

Hehe. Sorry to laugh, but if you don't know what ppc is, then you have the
wrong rpm!

ppc stands for Power PC. Unless you are running a powerpc, this will not
work on your machine. Find the i386 version, or build from the source rpm.

But, to answer your question (in case you get the same error after getting
the correct rpm), ld.so.1 comes from the ld.so rpm (shared library tool).

Re: *SOLVED* rpm core dumps on RH7

I ran this...

# strace rpm -Uvh ed-0.2-19.i386.rpm

Just before it dies, it says:

  read(13, "#\n# /etc/nsswitch.conf\n#\n# An ex"..., 4096) = 1787
  read(13, "", 4096)  = 0
  close(13)   = 0
  munmap(0x4025d000, 4096)

I already suspected something the nss_ldap or pam_ldap realm since it was
among the last things we had installed. I went into /etc/nsswitch.conf and
removed the "ldap"  from the "passwd:" line (the only thing in that file
that we changed). Re-run rpm, and it works fine.

In your /etc/lilo.conf, does it have the line boot=/dev/hda7?  Did you
run lilo after you booted up Linux from the floppy, so that the lilo
first stage loader get written to /dev/hda7?  Is the location of the
kernel accessable to the BIOS.  (You man nave to use the lba32 option of
lilo.)  From what you are saying, it does not sound like lilo is being
loaded, so it may not have been written to /dev/hda7 before you made
bootsect.lnx.

library incompatabilities

[Bob Hartung]

Hi all,
  I would like to install the newest version of
'scigraphica' on my Rh7.0 machine.  This requires GTK+Extra
which in turn requires libxml.so.2.  Now I can find the
libxml-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm on rpmfind.net but if I try a rpm
-Uvh xxx to upgrade to the 2.0.0-1 version of libxml from
1.8.9 I receive a warning of multiple failed dependencies of
installed and necessary programs.

  How can I install and use this library and not totally
cobble up my existing and smooth working RH7 installation?  

 I also have to install gtk+extra and python-numpy packages
but this will be new installs and I don't expect to have
dependency problems with existing programs and I meet all
their requirments for installed packages.

  Thanks a lot!

Are you starting X fro the command line?  This is the only way I have ever
found to track what is happening.  You can do a alt-F1 as X is coming up and
see what the server is spitting out.  There are also hidden files in your
home directory that may contain some insight.

As a gerneral rule filling up either /tmp or /home partitions will cause
weird things to happen.  What does df -h tell you?

kickstart problem

I'm stumped.  I'm attempting to kickstart a relatively slim install

specifically asked for.  To simplify diagnostics, I've eliminated
custom selection of packages, and have determined that the following
steps will reproduce the problem:

Install Red Hat 7.1, selecting these package groups:
- - networked workstation
- - dialup workstation
- - utilities

Complete the install, and reboot.  Confirm that Perl is present
('which perl'), and it is.  Now use mkkickstart to produce a ks.cfg.
Completes successfully, except that when reading partition tables,
gives this on the console:

Trying to free nonexistent resource <0320-0323>
Trying to free nonexistent resource <0320-0323>

Check the newly created ks.cfg, and perl is listed.  Delete the
reference to cdrom (this will be an nfs install), and fix the
partitioning entries (they don't get created properly).  Re-run
install using this kickstart config, and everything goes as planned
... except that perl doesn't get installed.

Since my postinstall config script is a Perl routine, this is a
decidedly inconvenient state of affairs.  So ... I circumvent this by
adding an rpm command for perl to my postinstall config, thus
hammering it into place, and that works.

Other minor kickstart bugs: despite the specification of keyboard,
language, and nfs locations in the kickstart file, I still have to
respond manually to these dialogs before the install will proceed.
This is consistently true over several different types of installs,
however, while the Perl problem is unique to the trimmed-down gateway
builds.

Before I file my bug reports, anyone care to comment on anything I
might have missed?

Re: How to change shutdown order of K scripts

[David Young]

I don't know what atria is, but does it have a script in /etc/init.d/atria ?
If so you can make it chkconfig-compatible by adding the appropriate
comments to the top of /etc/init.d/atria. Use one of the other scripts as a
guide (or man chkconfig). Once you add the necessary comments, you'll need
to do `chkconfig atria reset`.

No, IIRC it was a very small DOS program. I just put it on a boot floppy
with a few batch files. It checked the (backed up) CMOS data for integrity
(eliminating floppy read errors), before writing it to the CMOS. This was
when I was free-lancing for a college, where we put down 40 or 50 PCs at a
time. I DID have to make sure all M/B were EXACTLY the same (BIOS version
and all), and I think it did stuff up on me once on one box, but simply
clearing the CMOS with a jumper brought that PC back to life. Personally
that is the only problem I ever encountered with it. It's a shame this was
so long ago (about '95), otherwise I'm sure I'd still have it.

Understood. I didn't see any disclaimer about doing multiple boxes in the
utility's readme file when I did it. YMMV. The best thing to do in this case
(this is what I would do) - is e-mail the author and ask 'why not?'. Maybe
it's exactly like you say - he just doesn't want responsibility  for
something going wrong with the use of his program. I have to write
disclaimers into software I write as well, given it is the millenium and
people just love to sue nowadays.

Good Luck!

How to change shutdown order of K scripts

[Brian Wince]

All,

I have a application called atria that needs to be shutdown before
/etc/init.d/network gets shutdown.
I have tried renaming the kill script in /etc/rc.d/rc6.d and /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
to be before K20nfs and K90network but it does not change the order of the
kill scripts.
When I use chkconfig --list atria it returns service atria does not support
chkconfig, which is the same response when I try and do chkconfig --add
atria.

How do I get this application to shutdown before the network?

Any and all is greatly appreciated.

TIA

Brian

I use the following script on RHL 5.x and 6.x. I have not tried 7.x yet, but
it should work. The startkde command tries to start a X server, so it should
not work as vnc xstartup.

Re: Redirect Mail

[Kirk]

Are you trying to forward port 25 to a local machine? IIRC you need special
options when you compile the kernel to do this with IPchains, not sure if
its in a stock RH kernel.

If your running a 2.2 kernel you could use ipmasqadm. Rebuild it aginst
your running 2.2 kernel.
ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/mirrors/redhat/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/ipmasqadm-0.4.2
-4.src.rpm

ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 192.168.0.3 25 -R 172.16.0.1 25

If your using a 2.4 you could use iptables.

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.0.3  --dport 25 -j
DNAT --to 10.0.0.7:25

it depends upon how you are connecting (or wish to connect) and I
would need a sketch of your network.  For example

i   you may have a network (coax or utp) connection to your
192.. net and a ppp to the 63... net

Alternatively they may be both be "in house" on separate
nets.

ii  if the latter you will need two NICs on your RH machine
with a suitable  "route add"  command to  direct the
traffic to your gw.  Take a look at  "man route"; there
are some examples

iii If the 63.. network is not availabe "locally" - i.e
cannot be connected to by a NIC then other senarios begin
to abound - depending upon if you wish a simple cisco 803
to the job or another linux box.

I really would need to get a better appreciation of your network;
the combinations multiply from here-on

I presume that you have setup the  ifcfg-eth0 file with a 192.. ip

If you're trying to connect the the 63.. by ppp then are you
acquiring a 63.. IP for YOUR end of the ppp connection.  type
"netstat -rn" to check

If such is the case then the instructions I gave previously should
do the job; otherwise if you're not getting a "local" 63.. ip then
thats were the problem lies

If you are connecting ppp  run the command "tail -f /var/log/messages"
and monitor the progress of the connection.  You should see a
local and remote ip assignment which will be confirmed by a
"netstat -rn"

There are quite a few combinations here but for the moment this is the
best I can do

I don't know what everyone else sees, but I've *never* got the
Javascript pages *ever* without purposefully clicking on them.

Just to add a datapoint for comparison.  Are you sure you didn't

the default is js though as it says right on the page prior to

That's correct, but don't delete the directory, just 

$ rpm -e kernel-source

to get rid of the kernel source. It's only needed if you want to

The problem is both simple and somewhat silly. In order to use checksig you
should be using a version of RPM and gpg (not pgp, gpg is MUCH easier to
setup since it comes as a Redhat RPM) and you must have Redhat's public key
correctly installed. This took me a while to figure out the first time (you
figure they would include a copy of it with the OS, I ended up getting it
from their website, well hidden away at
http://www.redhat.com/about/contact/pgpkey.html). You should have GPG
installed and download the .asc file versions of the keys to some directory
on your system, then run "gpg --import *.asc" as root in that dir. You
should then be able to duplicate the following (as root):

#rpm -K *.rpm
mgetty-1.1.25-5.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
mgetty-sendfax-1.1.25-5.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
mgetty-viewfax-1.1.25-5.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
mgetty-voice-1.1.25-5.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
netscape-common-4.77-1.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
netscape-communicator-4.77-1.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
netscape-navigator-4.77-1.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
up2date-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK
up2date-gnome-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm: md5 gpg OK

You can also perform verifications as a non-root user, but then you need to
import the keys into GPG again as that user (keyrings are user-specific).

Once you get this working you should consider running something like:

if find . -type f -name *.rpm -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rpm -K; then
echo All RPM files are OK.
else
echo Oops, looks like we have some bad RPMs!
fi

If you're operating in a high security environment then you should probably
run all downloaded RPM files through a script that does signature tests and
deletes them if either they have no GPG signature or they are invalid (i.e.
if the portion of the output after the last ":" is anything other than "
md5 gpg OK \n")

A test like

for f in `find . -type f -name \*.rpm`; do
  if ! rpm -K $f 2>/dev/null | grep ": md5 gpg OK$" &>/dev/null; then
echo RPM File $f is corrupt or unsigned! AGH!
  else
echo $f is Ok
  fi
done

works well IMHO. Naturally the "echo" statements should be changed, I have
used:

for f in `find . -mtime -48 -type f -name \*.rpm`; do
  if ! rpm -K $f 2>/dev/null | grep ": md5 gpg OK$" &>/dev/null; then
echo RPM File $f is BAD!
mv -vf $f /root/unsafe_rpms
  fi
done

In a daily cronjob, executing just after the mirror update completed so it
could verify all recently modified RPM files.

Multi Boot

[Raoul Anderson]

Hi - I have set up a test machine as follows;
Partition 1 - Windows 98
Partition 2 - Windows 2000 Professional
Partition 3 - Windows 2000 Server
Partition 4 - Red Hat 7
Partition 5 - Linux Swap File

They all installed without any problem, and can boot from the NT loader all
windows OS's without any dramas.  I can boot to RH 7 if I insert the floppy
boot disk I created on install also, but I would like to get RH 7 into my
boot loader.  So far I have done the following;

booted in linux;
dd if=/dev/hda7 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (with a win98 boot disk inserted)
cp /bootsect.lnx /mnt
unmount /mnt

then booted in windows;
copied bootsect.lnx into c:\
edited boot.ini to include the following;
c:\bootsect.lnx="Red Hat 7.0"

the extra extry then appears in the boot menu, but when selected just makes
the screen go blank and eventually reboots.  I am pretty sure that when I
boot to linux from the floppy the partition which linux is installed onto is
on /dev/hda7, so what have I done wrong?

Dunno about ReiserFS on seawolf as I haven't tried it yet, but I have
my box running seawolf on XFS (IDE, all partitions except /boot)
without any problems. Have you considered it as a journaling 
filesystem? I'm very impressed by it, I used to like ReiserFS and then
I tried XFS and performance seems much better so I'm not going back.
BTW it is developed by SGI so it has to be good :)  At least I do
trust them more than the guys in Brazil who packaged ReiserFS...

They have made a version of anaconda which installs the standard Red 
Hat 7.1 + the XFS patched kernel and filesystem utilites, and also 
allows you to format your partitions as XFS before installing. Oh, and 
you get devfs, too. Check out:

http://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/

I recall journaling filesystems were discussed extensively on the
wolverine (7.1 beta) list. Check the archives.

The slocate/locate command searches for files on your hard disk

The (1L) is the manpage documentation.

Try:

man updatedb
man locate

updatedb scans your hard disk, and as such it takes a while to
complete.  If you run it manually, you either wait, or run it in
the background with:

updatedb &

Yes, it will use CPU power because it is a running program.

Try:

man locate

If your /var partition is not large enough, it is possible your
disk is full.  make /var larger if need be.  If you do not need
logfiles for things, then look at the manuals for the items that
are logging stuff so you can disable logging.  If you want to
change logrotate's configuration, try:

man logrotate

If you're not used to the commandline, try:

man man

Hope this helps.

gzipped  The kernel is not ever bzipped.  For the record, bzImage
means "big zImage", not bzipped zImage.

The vmlinux file is the kernel prior to being compressed during
compilation.  It is only useful for debugging purposes by
developers.

Depends. If you're talking about avoiding "root" use on a box where you
normally do have root access, you should probably be looking into the "sudo"
command and set that up to run rpm (I haven't tried it, but I assume it
works from what I've seen on this list).

If you're talking about installing RPMs on a box where you do not have root
access at all, things become a bit tricky. If you're lucky, the RPM is
relocatable (this will be mentioned in the output of
"rpm -qip PACKAGE.rpm"). In that case, you might be able to redirect the
file locations to e.g. your home directory (I think the right command line
option is --prefix - read the rpm man page for more detailed info).
If the RPM is not relocatable (or only partly), you're out of luck. The only
option you're left with is to get the SRPM, install it (I'm not sure how,
but I *think* you can tell rpm to install the source somewhere else but
/usr/src/redhat) and modifiy the spec file to use paths you can access, then
rebuild and install the new RPM. Or to build your own RPM (with the right
paths) from scratch. Note: Some programs need root to change permissions on
files or similar - with those cases you're completely out of luck if you
have no root access.

HTH,

Thomas

sudo

By definition, only root can install rpm's because only root can
access the filesystem and rpm database read/write.  You'll have
to use sudo or something similar if you want to install anything
without being root..

4.0.2 added the Xrender extension and Xft library that provide
this support.  It is dramatically improved in 4.0.3.

I do not recommend anyone use 4.0.2 at all as 4.0.3 is just a
stable update to 4.0.3 with no new code features, just bug fixes
and improvements.  4.0.2 is buggier all around and not worth the
trouble anymore now that 4.0.3 is out.

In this case, you're looking at the probability that /usr/sbin is not in
*your* path.

Try running /usr/sbin/printtool, and see if that flies.

/usr/src/linux-2.4

[Ted Gervais]

Another question.  Are the files in directory /usr/src/linux-2.4 there  only 
for recompilation purposes? Like when adding more modules or other changes to 
the existing kernel?   Or is /usr/src.linux-2.4 used for something else.??

I was going to delete it so I wondered if that was a bad move..

I reasoned that it can't be for use with the modules as that is contained in
/lib/modules..  and since the files used for boot are located in /boot  there 
must be no other use for these files other than to recompile the kernel??
Does that sound about right..

Sure... but those are SCSI. 80GB IDE = $250. 73GB SCSI = $900. So...

Promise SuperTrak 100 w/3 cages + 3 80GB drives$  450
Mylex SCSI Controller + 3 73GB drives  $2,900

The boards perform pretty well, but there is relatively little information
about its run-time status. There is no way to programmatically determine
which drive has failed, thereby still requiring a reboot even for hot-swap
systems.

I think the Mylex boards are better, specifically because they provide
loads of information in /proc about its status.

After this, it surfed the web a bit to find reiser related pages, and found 
in the linux kernel archive quite a bunch of bugs reported this year related 
to reiserfs corrupting files.

Any thoughts?

You should also have on your radar screen Highpoint and AMI. Both make 
EIDE/UDMA controllers with RAID functionality as separate controller cards 
and built-in controllers for motherboards. Iwill uses the AMI chip in the 
KK-200-R and KK-266-R; Abit uses the Highpoint chip in its KT7-RAID and 
KT7A-RAID boards. I only mention AMD-based boards since that's what I buy.

I know Highpoint now has Linux drivers for their controller that provide 
drive functionality but so far *without* RAID. They're "working on it." 
Highpoint can do RAID 0, 1, or 0+1 (no 5).

I went to AMI's site, and they even provide a modified 2.2.16 kernel! This 
along with drivers in RPM format and instructions on how to use their stuff 
under RedHat. However, I didn't check in detail what level of support their 
RAID stuff has yet. Please let the list know what you find out. AMI can do 
RAID 0, 1, or 0+1 (no 5) as well I think.

So now we have four options.

it's perfectly reasonable, i think, to be annoyed by lengthy and
verbose "disclaimers" like this, mostly because they're totally
useless.  it's not clear how someone, anyone, can send me mail,
then tell me what my legal obligations are with respect to that
mail.  according to every canon of american law that i know of,
no one can arbitrarily enforce a contract on another party without
their consent.  so to send me unsolicited email, then tell me what
obligations and restrictions i have for that email, is a pretty
stupid thing to do, and was clearly developed by lawyers who have
nothing better to do and are getting paid by the hour.

but rather than complain about it, as i've done before when people
have totally bogus disclaimers like this, i take the easy way out --
procmail filters -- and i never have to see this nonsense again,
and i encourage others to do the same until companies like fitnessquest
smarten up and learn some basic mailing list etiquette.

rday

p.s.  yes, i know it's not mr. rehm's fault, and it may be out of
his control.  but it's the only option i've got.  so there.

Gnome fails to load.

[Nick Lowman]

Hello Everyone,

It seems that gnome has stopped working on my Red Hat 6.2 machine. I run
startx and a small screen appears telling me that Enlightenment is loading
which seems to be OK and then a small Gnome window appears on a grey
background telling me Gnome is loading. But after that disappears all I'm
left with is a grey screen. I can't do anything except reboot the machine.
Any ideas how to remedy this?

Thanks
Nick

Re: RAID

[tcurl]

I want to set up a RAID using udma drives.  I don't think soft RAID is a 
good solution from a performance standpoint.  I searched all the hardware 
RAID vendors to find one providing a udma hardware RAID controller that 
would work with Linux.  None, so far as I could find, do.  The two closest 
seemed to be Promise and Adaptec.  Promise says they will be able to do it 
in 6 months.  I have not yet gotten and answer from Adaptec.

Past experience has taught me that if an NFS server happens to go
down for whatever reason (and then restarted), the machines connected to
it will be in a state of 'being stuck' and the only way to fix that is
to either try to unmount those NFS volumes, and remount them, or to
restart the client (which solves the problem all together).

Is there any better mechanism to check for things like this
automatically?  If the NFS server gets rebooted, or the connection died
long enough for the clients to lose it.  What can be done?  Is there any
specific way I should set the clients up to reconnect or something?

For that matter, if and when the NFS server goes down, is there any
way of telling the clients to stop trying to use that particular mounted
volume, and switch to a local (mirrored) partition till the NFS server
comes back up?

RE: Ximian Gnome 1.4 works with RedHat 7.1

[Warren Melnick]

I was running RedHat 7.0 with Ximian Gnome 1.3 until last week.  Last week I
upgraded to RedHat 7.1, which overwrote the Ximian Gnome with the standard
Gnome.  They were roughly the same.  Some minor differences in the Ximian
release that I liked better.  I had to manually replace gnome-terminal after
the upgrade in order for it to work to work at all.  Plus the old gnome
refused to reinstall under RH71.

The new (1.4) Gnome is a bit different.  The thing you notice immediately is
that the height of the task bar on the bottom has decreased considerably.
It is now about the size of the Windoze bar.  That makes the Desk Guide get
really small.  The Desk Guide is also pushed all the way over to the right,
but that is easily corrected with a "move".

The next thing you will notice is that the menu bar and docked apps are
gone.  You can still right-click and get  menu, but the primary menus are
now a menu bar on the top of the screen where the docked apps also appear to
go.  Programs, System and Help menus are there followed by 2 docked apps,
which are just icons.  The first is a red star for Mozilla and the second is
gnome-terminal.

I am most impressed with the current version of Mozilla.  They seem to have
struck an excellent balance between IE and Netscape, incorporating the best
features of both.  I especially like being able to type Ctrl-F for find
instead of Alt-F.  This release definitely seems geared toward the
cross-platform user, which is fine by me, as my time is split almost evenly
between Win98 and Gnome as my GUIs.

Also... Red Carpet already has a Redhat 7.1 channel and already shows
updates available for it.

Questions for Warren: what were you using before this?  If a previous

And, is Linuxconf really going away?  Never used it much myself but I
can see the advantages for newbies; is it being replaced with something
else?

Re: reiser on 7.1

[Nima S. Panahi]

Well, for my experience I believe this is a wise choice. I have TRIED
installing it on many types of systems. Most work, many had minor
problems, and some had really serious problems. For one example that
should make you think twice is the fact that for VIA chipsets you have a
good chance of filesystem corruption (this is VIA's fault, but things like
having SB Live installed and reiser fs make thinks much worst... weirest
thing I have seen). I have actually expecience corruption. Also, it can be
hard to the average user to set it up so that even the boot partition is
reiser. On one system, it refused to work with reiser fs on the /boot
partition. Sometimes it can act strange also, like right now I have a
directory that has a 1G file in it. However, when I do a du, it reports a
2T! WOW! I still have to figure that one out.One last thing (there are
more), is that things like fs check don't work. Ones I had a problem (with
the newest verstion) cand ran fs check for reisers and got a completely
messed up filesystem. I admit, I push the suckers and most of the time no
one should have any problems. In fact, I love reisers and that is all I
use (except for some boot partitions that are ext2).

How do I get 6.1 to see a Desk Jet 500?

[John Meshkoff]

I just got an old HP Desk Jet 500 and connected to my 6.1 (2.2.12 kernel)
box.  Printtool cannot autodetect the printer, although it's listed in
printtool.  Since it doesn't see the printer, trying the "print ASCII
directly to printer port" menu item only returns an error, "no such
device".  The box is dual boot, so I re-booted into win95 and confirmed the
printer and connection are OK.  I've had one printer previously recognized
without problem by printtool, an old TI laser printer, running in HP
compatible mode; don't have that one any more, besides, a toner cartridge
for it now cost's more than a new ink jet printer.

What do I need to do to get linux to see the Desk Jet?

The regular bugzilla does, but mozilla is quite buggy so it

well though, but not with SSL.

There are _no_ advantages for newbies when it comes to using
Linuconf. This tool is very user unfriendly and has a bad habit
of modifying stuff even if the user didn't commit any changes.
So my point that from a newbie point of view, Linuxconf can be
quite scarry.

I'm VERY impressed with it, and I'm hoping that the next GTK+ will have

that's available in Xfree86 4.0.2.

'linuxconf' as root and select from there. If nothing is needed, then just type 
'adsl-start' to bring up your connection. If you get "command not found, etc" type

I have not used the new Gnome, but this was a feature of the old 
version as well. I believe if you right-click on the panel and check 
the properties you may be able to change the height of the bottom 
panel.

Again, IIRC the panel guide can be resized or may be automatically 
resized with the panel it is on so increasing the panel size may make 
this larger as well.

Solved! Re: XMMS segfaults in 7.1

[Brian Wright]

Well, after much futzing, I found that XMMS will segfault if you have the
avi-xmms plugin installed.  It seems that the required avifile package does not
like qt-2.3.0, so if you upgraded to 7.1 and you built avifile under a previous
version of qt, it will segfault on qt-2.3.0.

And I was able to sharpen my lousy troubleshooting skills. ;-)

Re: Ximian Gnome 1.4 works with RedHat 7.1

Questions for Warren: what were you using before this?  If a previous
GNOME, has the layout really changed significantly?  Or were you using a
non-GNOME desktop?

And, is Linuxconf really going away?  Never used it much myself but I
can see the advantages for newbies; is it being replaced with something
else?

I use the following script on RHL 5.x and 6.x. I have not tried 7.x yet, but it should 
work. The startkde command tries to start a X server, so it should not work as vnc

I vote for "or what." In the five months since I installed my first RedHat

ease with which things work.

NFS questions

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

Past experience has taught me that if an NFS server happens to go
down for whatever reason (and then restarted), the machines connected to
it will be in a state of 'being stuck' and the only way to fix that is
to either try to unmount those NFS volumes, and remount them, or to
restart the client (which solves the problem all together).

Is there any better mechanism to check for things like this
automatically?  If the NFS server gets rebooted, or the connection died
long enough for the clients to lose it.  What can be done?  Is there any
specific way I should set the clients up to reconnect or something?

For that matter, if and when the NFS server goes down, is there any
way of telling the clients to stop trying to use that particular mounted
volume, and switch to a local (mirrored) partition till the NFS server
comes back up?

This simply installs the kernel source. What this means is you now have
the C files used to compile/build the kernel. You have not actually
changed anything on your system. Until you compile a kernel,
configure/install it, and then reboot, you have not actually used it.

In case it is not clear, this does not mean you have upgraded your
kernel! All it means is you have the source files for a 2.2.17-14 kernel.

To see what kernel your are running right now, do

uname -a

The kernel version will be the third field (After Linux your.machine.name)

yup, that where it goes.

Ok, whereis just looks in your path and tells you what *executables* match
the parameter you give it. You want to use 'locate'

Try 'locate asm'. You should find it under
/usr/src/linux-2.2.17-14/include

I'm not running 2.2.17, but they sure do exist for 2.2.16

Ok, here is the bottom line. make *sure* you are running 2.2.17-14 first
(see above). Then just make a symbolic link from /usr/src/linux
/usr/src/linux-2.2.17-14 like this

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.17-14 /usr/src/linux

and vmware should find the files.

If you are not running 2.2.17, install the kernel-source or kernel-headers
for the kernel you are using

I'm using 7.0 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4260. Had the expected troubles
with the Savage IX chip under XFree86, but got that done. Love the system.
Long story short, my network also works (Linksys PCMPC200 10/100Mbps PC
Card), but shows:

>Bringing up interface eth0  Delaying eth0 initialization [FAILED]

upon system startup. By the time I get to runlevel 3 or 5, however, I
can get network access without any problems and typing either "service
network restart" or "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" (equivalent, I
know) works well.

>everything restarts including eth0.  This is confusing to me because if it
>restarts here, and I can get internet access without running the above
>command, then WHY DID IT SAY FAILED IN THE FIRST PLACE

I think I've found the first steps to an answer...

The network starts before PCMCIA Card Services do. Hence both our network
cards *cannot* initialize, since they have no card services. Later, when
PCMCIA services start, then we can do "service network restart" and get a
network. So it actually did fail, just not permanently.

>My other problem, which may be related is that SAMBA...

I haven't even been to samba yet. But my xinetd is having fits. It shows
[FAILED] upon system startup. "service xinetd status" says xinetd is dead
but the pid file exists. "service xinetd restart" succeeds. Upon system
shutdown, however, xinetd shutdown is [FAILED].

>Perhaps another issue all together, but wanted to mention this as well since
>my samba trouble might be rooted in the original issue.

Amen.

Now, how to arrive at a permanent solution? Should we change the startup 
order so that pcmcia-cs starts before network? This seems like such a 
blindingly obvious solution that I'm sure there's a good reason why it 
hasn't been done yet...

Re: vmlinuz vs vmlinux

[Mike Burger]

vmlinuz is the compressed kernel.

For example, when you compile your own kernels, part of the process is
"make bzImage" (used to be "make zImage").  This makes it a bit easier to
load into memory, copy to floppy disks, etc.

Notice that vmlinux is 2.25MB...you'd never get that onto a floppy to make
a bootable disk.

the "z" file is the bzipped file, which is why it's smaller.  take a look
at /etc/lilo.conf and you'll see which one's critical to have around. :-)
