If you're running as root (and it sounds like you are) open a terminal
as the user login and type:

xhost +localhost

Make sure no space between the + and localhost or it invites everybody
in the world to use your desktop. After issuing the command, su to root
and run it (xcdroast) again. Should work now.

If that fails, I can't imagine what else is going on, because that
(permissions) is what usually causes these types of things to fail.

xcdroast after upgrade to rh7.3

[Bob Hartung]

Hi all,
   Has anyone had any issues with xcdroast after upgrading to RH 7.3?  When 
I try to start it, there is a pause then the flashing mini-icon just exits.

   When I try to start from the command line I get this:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

   X-windows seems to be working well otherwise.

   Where should I start looking?

TIA

It sounds like you are ready to go.  The reason nmap does not return
anything is do to the fact that there is nothing actually listening on
that port yet.

Edit /etc/inittab and look for the line that sets the default runlevel:

  id:5:initdefault:

Change the runlevel from 5 to 3. Any subsequent reboot will put you into
runlevel 3. On Linux runlevel 3 differs from runlevel 5 only by not
running a graphical login.

You don't have reboot to go to runlevel 3. Just use the command

  telinit 3

Sure this is a FAQ, but edit /etc/inittab:
Change the runlevel 5 to 3 with
 
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:

BTW, we can do without the 40 or 50 lines of HTML just to

Blundering ahead, I have found that the "umount /var" command fails due
to 
umount: /var: device is busy
What happens if I partial-force it: "umount -nrv /var" or full force it:
"umount -f /var"?  FYI I tried closing all windows but my "konsole" and
retried it with the same result.  Hmmm.

Xv under RH 7.3

[Alejandro Perez Mendez]

Hi, this is th e first time i write into this list. I'm from Spain so I'm sorry because my english.

I have installed my RH 7.3 on my system and all work fine, except when a program (like Xine or mplayer) tries to use Xv extension, then monitor shutdown and keyboard don't work, so I have to restart my computer.

I have an ATI RAGE 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS with 32 MB, and a LG WS771B monitor.

I tried to execute Xconfigurator but all still on the same way.

I'm very gladed if somebody could help me.

Thanks.

Enabling Ports

[Bruce Embrey]

Hi,

I am running RHLinux7.2 and during the installation I selected High 
Security on the firewall and selected HTTP and SSH. I now want to open port 
25 for sendmail. I ran nmap and my port 22 and 80 were open but not 25. I 
checked the /etc/services and it appears port 25 is enabled for tcp and 
udp. I checked my ipchains and it shows the policy for SMTP is identical to 
HTTP and SSH policies.

I have not yet configured sendmail and was wondering if after configuring 
it and starting the daemon will port 25 be open or where do I need to look 
to open this port?

Do I do this (as root) from the / prompt?  Or where else?  So I am in
effect then moving /var onto /dev/hda3 with 2.1G to play with?  And
since at the end I mv /var.new to /var all the pointers in the files on

Re: missing lpr on Redhat 6.0->7.3 upgrade on Pentium 4

I'd guess it's happening when you run syslinux on the .img file.

What I would do to create this image is...
(You could also probably do all this on a file on the hard drive, but 
doing it on a floppy reduces the chances of doing any damage.)
Mount the boot.image that you want to copy files from.
(You can edit the files here, before copying them to the new image.)
Insert and do not mount a floppy.
Format the floppy with 'mformat a:'
Run syslinux: 'syslinux -s /dev/fd0'
Copy the needed files from the mounted image (or add new):
'mcopy /path/to/filename a:'

When done, you can dd the floppy image to the hard drive.
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/path/to/write/boot.img bs=1440k

Should give you a bootable floppy and a copy of the boot image on the 
drive.

Hope that helps,

Look in /etc/sysconfig/network for "GATEWAY=" and enter the IP address of

RE: Changing boot.img

[Chapman, Matt]

Totally agree but the syslinux shipped in the boot.img on the Redhat 7.3
cdrom is like 1.50 and at 1.60 you could begin using splash images on
boot up.  I did this on 7.1 and 7.2 no problem... Run syslinux (the new
one) against the boot.img and then open it up and add my .rle file for
the splash image and change the boot.msg file to call the .rle.

I get that far , when it boots up I see the splash image and then the
boot:  like it is waiting for the start of the kernel... I press enter
and then it fails...

Am I causing the corruption due to the way I am opening the file or
running syslinux against the boot.img file itself.

Maybe I should dd the boot.img file to floppy... Then syslinux the
floppy.  Then open it and make the 2 changes.  Then umount the floppy
and dd the floppy back to the hard drive as boot.img  Redo the mkisofs
and burn again.  What do you think?

If all you have done is modify the *.msg files, there should be no need
to 
run syslinux.

When creating bootable images, I generally format the disk (must be a
dos 
file system) then run syslinux, then add the remaining files.

Here is a snip from a script I use to create a boot disk: mformat a: ||
{
echo "Error formatting the floppy disk, exiting."
exit
}
echo "Running syslinux."
syslinux -s /dev/fd0 || {
echo "Error running syslinux, exiting."
exit
}
echo "Copying files."
mcopy base_files/syslinux.cfg a:
mcopy base_files/boot.msg a:

echo "Copying rootfs.gz."
mcopy rootfs.gz a:

echo "Copying the kernel."
mcopy base_files/vmlinuz-rule a:vmlinuz

Yes.  Use relative links, and it should work fine.  For example:

$ pwd 
/path/to/7.3

$ cd rpms
$ for file in ../dist*/rpms/*; do ln -s $file; done

Something like that, with 7.3/ exported.

NFS, symlinks and installation trees

[rpjday]

  is there a simple explanation for how symlinks are treated under
NFS?  here's what i'm after.

  with each release of red hat, i immediately copy the CD directory
trees under a main directory structure, but keep each CD tree separate
to distinguish between them, so i'll end up with a top level directory
structure of

/7.3
/inst1  (contents of installation CD 1)
/images
/dosutils
/RedHat   ... etc etc ...
/inst2
/inst3

note that each of these subdirectories will have, inside it, the
RedHat/RPMS directory containing their respective RPMS.

  for convenience, i also typically create another directory called
"rpms" or something like that contains nothing but symlinks to *all*
of the actual RPM files in the other three RPMS directories.  in the
case of 7.3, i end up with a directory containing 1439 symlinks to
all of the RPMs, so i can pretend all of the rpms are in one place
to make perusing them easier.

/7.3
/rpms   (contains 1439 symlinks to other RPM files)
/inst1
/inst2  ... etc etc ...

  it occurred to me that i can do this, and simultaneously make
available, via NFS, a red hat installation tree, if i create the
directory /7.3/RedHat/RPMS containing all the symlinks.  then
a network-based kickstart client could refer to this host and
to the location "/7.3", under which it would find the installation
tree "RedHat/RPMS" to install from.

  does the fact that the red hat install tree RedHat/RPMS contain
pose any possible problems?  i'm assuming i'd have to export the
entire /7.3 directory since i have to export the locations that
contain the real files as well as the symlinks.

  i'd test this but i have only one host at the moment, and
while i can play by exporting and mounting to myself, i'm not
that would constitute a valid test.

  comments?

I inherited a mail server at one point and made a perl script that
would count the number of POP3 connections each user made in 3 months.
If the result was zero, I would close the account.
I went from 400+ accounts to 178.

You can write a script that uses 'last -n 1 username' to find the last
login by a user. You have to parse the output to get the date.

Put the descriptions in 00-index.txt. It will be listed at the top of an
alphabetically sorted list, regardless of case-sensitiveity diferences

Another way you could do it is to throw together a cgi

I don't know if something like this can be done.
A common used method is to create an index.txt or something in the root of your fpt

This file contains a 'tree' of the whole ftp site with a description of each file /

At the welcome screen you can refer to this file and/or give some other instructions.

Just to add to this I have read the bug report and mharris comments
and I agree it is out of order
 bugzilla entry
>From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9)
Gecko/20020408

Description of problem:
What happened to Mesa?  Many 3d programs need Mesa, but none exists. 
Some files
that used to be in Mesa in 7.2 are now in some XFree86 packages, but
not all. 
For example, GL/glut.h is missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Not in SRPMS dir mirrors
2.Not on cd
3.Not in RPMS dir on ftp mirrors


Additional info:

I've read the RELEASE-NOTES, and every other piece of documentation,
but no
mention of Mesa disappearing.  Quite displeased with this lack of
communication.
 
Additional comment by [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-05-29 18:10:34 
 
I assure you that everything is both present and working properly. 
If
you've got X installed, then you've also got libGL installed.  It is
not
hard to verify this really.  It's also not hard to ask someone on a
mailing list rather than filing a bogus bug report.  Bugzilla is not
a technical support forum.  Filing bug reports to ask questions only
wastes valuable developer time, as such, I do not answer tech support
questions via bugzilla unless an actual bug is involved.

rpm -q --whatprovides is your friend also.
 
<<< end bugzilla entry

The querent has obviously looked for the file referred to and did not
ask whether packages were installed but what changes had taken place
(as I assume programs were bombing because of it)

In addition bugs are supposed to be reported to bugzilla  and not on
mailing lists

As far as I am concerned one of the purposes of bugzilla is to
ascertain whether things are bugs or not

The attitude of the developer is thankfully something that I have not
come accross before

Just as an aside would not suprise me from the items referenced if
problem was with mplayer and as everyone is aware this is another
developer with an attitude problem

[Van Den Abeele Kristof]

First of all thx to all of you for the help.

My intensions are to use LILO as primary boot loader.

If I'm able to recuperate a HD somewhere , i'm going to install Redhat on that disk.
Otherwise I will give it a try by removing an extended partition , ...

No problem in principle - but there are some things to bear in mind

you can have problems with using the space from e: because the ntfs
partition will be after the linux partition.

You may be better off doing the following if possible

delete e: and h: in dos fdisk
recreate e: for XP and re-install xp

create linux partitions in empty space as part of linux setup

otherwise you may come into problems with regard to disk geometry

(not sure if this is still a problem but I have certainly seen it
before)

Re: Partition Problem

[Shyam Kumar Mankayil]

Yes go ahead and take the E: off . As far as I have seen , you can have Linux on an extended partition.
My suggestion : have separate partitions for / , /usr and /home and have a SWAP space (2xRAM),
Cheers,
Shyam

Partition Problem

Hello all , 

I have currently one harddisk ( 45GB )  running Win98/WinXP
( Pri - C:\ - Win 98 - FAT ) ( Extended D:\ & E:\ - Data - FAT ) ( Pri - H:\ - NTFS )

But now I have seen the light and I want to install Redhat 7.3 :)

Can this be done by removing the E:\ partition an placing Redhat there.
It would be ideal situation having all those 3 systems as a boot option.
Reason : I still have some family who needs to use Win. :(
( Win Xp because multiple users and easy interface , win 98 for support of TV-card and

Or is it maybe better to place an extra HD ? 
Because Linux works also with seperate partitions / , /usr , ...
