Re: Black screen during installation of RD 8.0
I think it is because of the integrated chipset in my nForce, or maybe because of the screen which has not the good values of refresh rates. What do you think about ?

Second problem, installation of XF86, I have a black screen too at the test step to see if all is OK ; my screen is not detected, but it is very strange to crash the computer.

hi has someone successfully installed an ibm xseries 345 under redhat 7.0 i have here two machines: machine A with lsilogic 1030 machine B with serveraid 5i (which uses the lsilogic 1030) machine A installes fine machine B doesnt same BIOS, ... if i remove the serveraid, the two machines should be the same, but again B wont install. the controller works (redhat 7.3 installs smoothly). the only difference i see is that machine B has no entry under /proc/pci for the serveraid-controller when installing rh70 (rh73 sees the controller under 8:2:0) any ideas someone josef ps.: there was a netfinity-update disk for rh70, which doesnt help either. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Alternative Shell Menu for RedHat Linux
Hi Folks, I am looking to create an alternative shell menu, using open source software similar to pdmenu which was designed for Debian GNU/Linux. Does anyone know of, or can recommend, any shell menu type programs which are relatively simple to install and easy to configure with a moderate level of unix knowledge?

RE: About Cisco 827 ADSL Router
I'm not certain about the 827 but on all the 800 series routers I've ever used the ethernet ports on the rear of the router were shared media so you wouldn't be able to nat the private addressing and route the public addressing you would have to just configure one ip address on the ethernet interface and then the second with the suffix secondary on the same interface.

Re: Newbie: Getting the server started.
Josh, As a general rule any won't get much response without a very specific question, and it's a good idea to mention what you've tried. Since you're new, heres a brief introduction to finding opensource information. 1 Visit the library or distro home page, find links to documentation or mailing-lists, start reading 2 Almost everyone has a mailing list (which you found), most lists will have an archive that can be searched as well. 3 Good searches at Google.com (need to know some terms (see # 7 below)) 4 try http://www.google.com/linux 5 or http://www.google.com/bsd 6 try something like http://www.[library or distro here].org || net || com 7 the FOLDOC http://www.foldoc.org/ 8 man [command or file name] 9 info [command or file name] With the prolegomenon out of the way What server are you talking about (choose one or more)? (not yelling, just acronymns) FTP? TFTP? NTP? SMTP? LDAP? SQL? SLIP? GOPHER? PPP? SSH? TELNET? L2TP? RADIUS? NNTP? DNS? IPSec? (or is that a node?) POP3? IMAP? HTTP? HTTPS? SOAP? NFS? WINS? NetBIOS? Print? (Unix or Windows? or both) -- Theres still more -- Just guessing but, if you want a web server its HTTP/HTTPS and most folks would recommend Apache (http://www.apache.org/). I think that like 56% of the internet uses that one. FTP ? (I need help here, I use PureFTPD http://www.pureftpd.org/). The web server will need a scripting language, I like PHP http://www.php.net/. E-Mail (POP3, IMAP, SMTP) can be provided by many different sources. http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/ http://www.postfix.org/ http://www.sendmail.org/ http://www.washington.edu/imap/ (IMHO: Don't use this one) SQL http://www.mysql.org/ http://www.postgresql.org/ SSH (you'll love this one) http://www.openssh.org/, you'll need http://www.openssl.org/ Everything else deserves a google search. Other notes: http://www.perl.org/ with packages from http://www.cpan.org/ can solve almost anything. Use http://www.samba.org/ to communicate with Windows The Linux kernel comes from http://www.kernel.org/ (I think) Your shell might be 'BASH' http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/bash.html Or a Desktop like http://www.kde.org/ or http://www.gnome.org/ You'll dig the http://www.gnu.org/. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 16:53 Subject: Newbie: Getting the server started.

I have tried all the suggestions everyone has posted but still, php is not working. I don't have the history on this thread, and I'm *not* in Tech Support, but here's what I have: RH 8.0 running with Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.2 - all came standard in RH8.0. I have this 1-line script(named 'test.php') in my document root (/var/www/html/test.php): ? phpinfo(); ? If your Apache/PHP is set up properly, you should be able to browse to www.yourserver.com/test.php and get the output of the phpinfo() function, which is a nice list of details about your Apache server configuration, including all the modules built in. In my php.ini file(/etc/php.ini) I made the same manual change you did (short_open_tag = On) to allow short tags - that's the only change I made to my php.ini. I did make some changes to my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, but none that look like they would affect whether or not PHP runs. After I made those php.ini and httpd.conf changes, I restarted Apache by doing 'service httpd restart'. Works for me - hope something I've described helps you.

Re: Black screen during installation of RD 8.0
While RedHat clearly has made an admirable effort to produce a consumer ready desktop on the Linux OS, a few areas were shortchanged by the new release. Video and sound installation work well on older, well known system boards and plugin cards. But, some later hardware has been left dangling, so to speak, and the tools that otherwise might have been used by experience RedHat users to attemp to correct video/sound problems, such as Xconfigurator, are nowhere to be found. Web searches have revealed a number of workarounds that some people have been able to make work with a new RedHat 8.0 installation. But many non-successes have been repoted also. The best advice I can provide, for the black screen issue you describe is to install an older version of RedHat, say 7.3 and then upgrade it to RH 8 to pick up the new features. This is clearly not an ideal solution, and undermines RedHat's goal of dumbing down the desktop for neophyte users, but it will probably get you operational.

Problem: Network with Dell 2500 Redhat 7.3 dual network card (Bonded) operates slow at times with Windows 2000 workstations using MS Access, MS Word and Sage Accounts. Mapped drives and files disconnect/fail to read at times. Comment: Above setup works ok on another system running Redhat 6.2 Appeal: Has anyone had a similar problem and can recommend a solution. Have tried most of the obvious things. I don't know what constitutes the obvious things, so I'll ask: Have you applied all of the updates for your system? There are updates to samba, the kernel, and glibc that may, if nothing else does, affect your server. What version of these are installed in your system? Are you NFS mounting any of the data that you're sharing from the Samba server? If so, then NFS file locking must be in a working state in order for Samba to operate normally. If you want to debug the situation, then you should probably increase the log level of the samba server (to 3 maybe?) and : tail -f /var/log/samba/client.log When the client hangs, the log probably will to.

Serious problems with RH8.0
I had RH7.2 on my laptop and had to wait nearly 2 months (to get the disks right) to be able to install 8.0, or rather do an upgrade to 8.0. I have been a Red Hat user since version 3.0. Unfortunately this upgrade came to me as a GREAT disappointment: 1) The new desktop, that BlueSomething thing is the worst thing I ever used, I was so disenchanted with how the system has degraded that I am now using Windows again after many years... 2) As usual from all the upgrades, the upgrade method completely breaks down/destroys all the desktop URL shortcuts. After the upgrade you see urlABXCY86xErer or something like that and the shortcut is useless. Same thing happened in previous upgrades, every time I had to remove them and recreate them if I new where they pointed to. 3) The new menu system of that blue thing is disappointing too. Can't find anything as I used to in my previous Gnome/Sawfish thing. There is no possibility to select other window managers even though the RPMs for those are installed? 4) It seems impossible to configure ANY of the SawFish window management parameters. Using the explorer thing, when you reach the SawFish folder and click on any of the parameter groups (Focus, Sounds, etc.) simply does nothing. I noticed that if I did it on the command line (sawfish-ui -group=focus) I get an error saying that it cannot connect to the socket /tmp/.sawfish-myusername and that is strange because (a) /tmp/.sawfish-myusername does not exist, but /tmp/.sawfish-root does, and (b) I am logged in (X) as myself (myusername) and NOT as root. As an experiment I executed the same command as root thinking but it still complained that it could not connect to the socket. 5) Mozilla 1.0 STILL complains that it could not initialize the security component, when are they (Mozilla) going to fix that??? has been appearing for AGES. 6) The terminal windows that now pop up are super huge, almost an abomination! what happened to the good old, decent sized, fully configurable terminal windows of RH7.3 ? 7) APM is still broken. If I simulate closing the lid by pressing down the button that detects that, the screen goes black, I hear a couple of beeps but the system seems alive. The problem is it doesn't respond anymore to anything, only way out is the Windows solution (REBOOT!).. I understand APM isn't a redhat specific thing :) but I can definitely name it as one of the most unsuccessful pieces of Linux software, one would expect that after so many years it would have improved (APM) so much that it would work for most systems out of the box (as it did on my system when I had RH6.x). 8) Previously I was able to configure GDM to use faces that no longer seems possible 9) What happened to the menu that appeared when clicking on the desktop background area? now it brings up a useless menu. I want to be able to change the window manager and theme to something more useful and more tasteful than that BlueCurve abomination. 10) Evolution seemed to hang endlessly during the import, in the end it did not import anything, not even my Balsa/ELM mailbox So I guess that is it, after 10 years of being a fervent Linux user I have grown terribly disappointed :( and RH8.0 seems to have given the final blow to that. Anyway, if anybody knows solutions to the above mentioned issues I would appreciate it. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RedHat 8.0 issues
I just built a new RH 8.0 box. I have been trying to build various packages from their source RPMS and have found two (what I consider quite serious issues). 1) rpmbuild -ba gcc32.spec does not work on an RH 8.0 box using a standard RH 8.0 intall with all the development tools installed. I already griped about this on this list a couple of days ago together with the errors. 2) make rpm against the kernel sources fails miserably. I found that at towards the end of the make script, RH is doing a rpm -ta ... Instead of a rpmbuild ta ... After changing the rpm to rpmbuild I was able to make an RPM out of my custom kernel. I am concerned now that RH is not doing QA on the source RPMS. I fail to see how they could distribute the binary RPMS for gcc32 and the kernel (these are two source RPMS that have build issues that I have found so far) if the source RPMS will not build on RH 8.0. Is it possible that RH is building the RPMS from the source RPMS on a platform other than RH 8.0 and not bothering to test the build on RH 8.0? --Moby -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
synxtax for mounting ext3 with defaults and noatime?

Now, I want to mount it with the noatime option. Do I remove the word 'defaults' and replace it with 'noatime', or do I set it to 'defaults,noatime'. In my understanding, if I remove 'defaults' and replace it with 'noatime', then that's the only option I get. However, if I enter 'defaults,noatime', then which option does the FS get mounted with?

Unfortunately this upgrade came to me as a GREAT disappointment: 1) The new desktop, that BlueSomething thing is the worst thing I ever used, I was so disenchanted with how the system has degraded that I am now using Windows again after many years... Bluecurve is merely a theme. You can change it in both KDE and GNOME. What makes it unusual is that there is a common theme for both KDE and GNOME so that GTK and Qt apps look the same no matter which environment you run them in. I happen to like it, but it's clearly a matter of preference. When I first encountered it, I admit I wasn't too fond, but I found myself switching back after a short while. It seems an especially clean and simple design that's easy on the eyes. Anyway, you can change the theme by selecting Preferences-Control Center-Theme 2) As usual from all the upgrades, the upgrade method completely breaks down/destroys all the desktop URL shortcuts. After the upgrade you see urlABXCY86xErer or something like that and the shortcut is useless. Same thing happened in previous upgrades, every time I had to remove them and recreate them if I new where they pointed to. I never upgrade. I keep my /home directory on it's own partition and do a fresh install everytime. This may be the source of many of the problems you mention. 3) The new menu system of that blue thing is disappointing too. Can't find anything as I used to in my previous Gnome/Sawfish thing. There is no possibility to select other window managers even though the RPMs for those are installed? Yes, you can change your window manager (Metacity is the default under RH 8.0). A 2 second search of Google turned this up: from a terminal, run killall metacity; sleep 3; sawfish after that, run gnome-session-save 4) It seems impossible to configure ANY of the SawFish window management parameters. Using the explorer thing, when you reach the SawFish folder and click on any of the parameter groups (Focus, Sounds, etc.) simply does nothing.

As I mentioned above, Metacity is the default WM for 8.0 5) Mozilla 1.0 STILL complains that it could not initialize the security component, when are they (Mozilla) going to fix that??? has been appearing for AGES. I don't get that error. Have you tried Mozilla 1.0.1? Or maybe it's the result of upgrading versus doing a fresh install. Then again, if you've been getting it for ages, perhaps it's something with your configuration. 6) The terminal windows that now pop up are super huge, almost an abomination! what happened to the good old, decent sized, fully configurable terminal windows of RH7.3 ? Again, just change your preferences. You can change these preferences in the terminal itself under Edit-Preferences wink. Try font size for starters. 7) APM is still broken. If I simulate closing the lid by pressing down the button that detects that, the screen goes black, I hear a couple of beeps but the system seems alive.

Can't answer this as I don't use a laptop. Sorry. 8) Previously I was able to configure GDM to use faces that no longer seems possible Make sure that GDM is setup to use the Standard Greeter and that Show choosable user images is enabled (System Settings-Login Screen). You can also set a Login Photo under Preferences-Login Photo. 9) What happened to the menu that appeared when clicking on the desktop background area? now it brings up a useless menu. I want to be able to change the window manager and theme to something more useful and more tasteful than that BlueCurve abomination. While many, if not most, of the configuration options have moved, most are still available if you search through the menus a bit (and Google is your friend). 10) Evolution seemed to hang endlessly during the import, in the end it did not import anything, not even my Balsa/ELM
RE: BIND ./configure
IT just says no such file or directory. I installed the BIND software with the installation of RedHat itself.

Re: Serious problems with RH8.0
2) As usual from all the upgrades, the upgrade method completely breaks down/destroys all the desktop URL shortcuts. After the upgrade you see urlABXCY86xErer or something like that and the shortcut is useless. Same thing happened in previous upgrades, every time I had to remove them and recreate them if I new where they pointed to. I never upgrade. I keep my /home directory on it's own partition and do a fresh install everytime. This may be the source of many of the problems you mention. I do the same thing, and it still gets me into trouble with settings in my home directory. The best thing to do is a fresh install without wiping the home directory, rename/move your users home directories, and then slowly and carefully move stuff back into the new home directories. 3) The new menu system of that blue thing is disappointing too. Can't find anything as I used to in my previous Gnome/Sawfish thing. There is no possibility to select other window managers even though the RPMs for those are installed? Yes, you can change your window manager (Metacity is the default under RH 8.0). A 2 second search of Google turned this up: from a terminal, run killall metacity; sleep 3; sawfish after that, run gnome-session-save This is likely not to work. killall -9 metacity ; sawfish is a better choice. I have in the past sometimes had to uninstall metacity to make sure it doesn't restart. So I guess that is it, after 10 years of being a fervent Linux user I have grown terribly disappointed :( and RH8.0 seems to have given the final blow to that. Anyway, if anybody knows solutions to the above mentioned issues I would appreciate it. The real solution is to realize that RedHat made great efforts with 8.0 to make the desktop more usable for the average user but that this meant widespread changes in the interface. Take the time to explore it a bit before complaining about serious problems (of which you don't seem to really have many, just annoyances). It doesn't seem to me that you've really tried very hard as many of the things you complain about are just a few mouse clicks away. While having a familiar system change underneath of you can be frustrating, it certainly isn't unique to RedHat or even Linux (consider WinXP). If everything stayed the same, we'd still be using FVWM or TWM. If you've used Linux for 10 years I'd expect you'd show a little more tenacity than that wink. Hang in there, I agree and disagree. RedHat and Gnome have made many bad efforts to make 8.0 worse desktop. I do agree much of it is just changes to how you do things, though many of the changes go too far. I could rant about many more serious problems with 8.0. I hope to see them properly addressed with 8.1(hence why I am running Phoebe right now). IMHO 8.0 shouldn't have even been released, or should have been released in a very different form.

I suspect had they waited another 6 months, the changes would have been even more drastic. Plus, with the release of GNOME2, RH 8 was a way of pushing developers to move to the new desktop.

The most likely problem is that one of packages has an incorrectly defined config file for logrotate and you're rotating yourself to death. A common culprit is mailman. Look in the /var/logs/mailman directory to see if it's obscene. You'll see files like log.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 from somebody assuming you can rotate log.*.

2.43 spamassassin in 7.1
Spamassassin 2.43 uses perl-5.6.1 (RH 7.3). RH 7.1 uses perl-5.6.0. Conquently, attempts to install on 7.1 result in an error: [root@www Mail-SpamAssassin-2.43]# perl Makefile.PL Warning: prerequisite HTML::Parser failed to load: Can't locate HTML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386- linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386- linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 10) line 3. Writing Makefile for Mail::SpamAssassin It also needs html.pm. Dumb questions time. I guess I could get perl-5.6.1 and install it. Does perl-5.6.0 need to be removed first or do I run both of them? Anthing important I need to remember to do to prevent 7.1 from getting sick? Is there a way to just install the two missing .pm's? Would using 5.6.1 pm's with 5.6.0 perl cause a problem?

PPPD not compiled with IPv6...
Sigh... This isn't a request for help (I already tracked down and shot the bug) but pppd on RedHat 7.x and 8.0 (haven't checked the 8.1 beta yet) did not get compiled with IPv6 enabled. Found out the hard way when pppd didn't like the ipv6 option in the config file. The man pages for pppd describe all the ipv6 options but the patches in the rpm didn't uncomment the HAVE_INET6=1 line in pppd/Makefile. Modifying the make patch and rebuilding the rpm corrected the problem. Someone from RedHat on this list want to let someone know to fix that build? Mike -- Michael H.

Install Problem: Monitor Probe
Hello, again, everyone. I'm trying to install RH 8.0 on a Compaq 1850R. The install locks up at: Running anaconda, the RedHat Linux Installer Probing for Video Card Type: ATI Rage Probing for Monitor Type: Unable to probe Now, I've done some searching and have tried to pass both 'skipddc' and 'noprobe' options in. However, anaconda still seems to want to figure out my monitor type (it's an old 13 SVGA). I've also tried the 'lowres' and 'resolution=640x480' options. Nothing has overcome this obstacle. When I say it locks, it locks hard: no response to ctl-alt-del, no more switching between VTs. This is going to be a server, without X at allwhat can I do to get around this? -- Ed Marczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Boot Loader in RH8.0
I. Previous condition (Red Hat 7.2) The bootloader configuration contained an entry for an old kernel, one for the current kernel, and yet another for WinXP. Booting was done primarily with the WinXP boot loader. There I selected Red Hat Linux, then I got the graphical LINUX boot screen where I (again) could select the OS of choice (this time from Linux). This graphical screen showed me the 3 OS options I had configured. It is not clear to me wheter this graphical thing was a LILO or Grub thing. Can anybody explain it? In the upgrade to 7.2 the bootloader thing simply worked out of the box, it updated my config and created that graphical screen. II. Current situation (REd Hat 8.0) During the upgrade I selected modify current bootloader configuration (the recommended option). I understand LILO was discontinued from RH8 but somehow I still see it is an installed RPM in my system. Why? I don't see GRUB installed on my system anymore... Was it also discontinued? I did copy the boot sector to the Win partition to use with the Win boot loader: dd if=/dev/hda8 of=bootsect.lnx count=1 bc=512 I think it was bc or something like that. Anyway the bootsect.lnx is created with size 512. /dev/hda8 is my root / partition. Kernels are in /boot (/dev/hda3). The problem is... now when I use the WinXP boot loader and select Linux (and it uses the proper bootsect file) instead of the usual graphical linux bootloader screen I grew accustomed to, I now see four garbage characters followed by LILO: there I can press enter and it boots linux. The other problem here is (that is in addition to the missing graphical selection) it tries to boot the OLD kernel that no longer exists!!! why is that? my bootsect.lnx file is ok. So, the only way to boot is with the boot floppy which is not what I want. What is the normal way to boot in RH8? is it with LILO? or something else? if it is not LILO how can I switch to the new method? Thanks, Emilio _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

What part of the desktop, specifically, are you disappointed with? It's hard to imagine that the problem is BlueCurve, since that's just a visual theme that you can change. 2) As usual from all the upgrades, the upgrade method completely breaks down/destroys all the desktop URL shortcuts. After the upgrade you see urlABXCY86xErer or something like that and the shortcut is useless. Were you using GMC before, as the file manager? Seems likely. With Naultilus, this shouldn't happen again. The format for those files should be stable now. Same thing happened in previous upgrades, every time I had to remove them and recreate them if I new where they pointed to. Previously, gmc changed its metafile formats and desktop launcher formats a couple of times. Expect that not to happen now that gmc is no longer a part of GNOME. 3) The new menu system of that blue thing is disappointing too. Can't find anything as I used to in my previous Gnome/Sawfish thing. There is no possibility to select other window managers even though the RPMs for those are installed? There's no GUI for that currently, no. 4) It seems impossible to configure ANY of the SawFish window management parameters. You're not running sawfish. Metacity is default, and most of the instructions for switching are a bit off. You should: Red Hat menu - Extras - Preferences - Sessions - Current Session Click Metacity Change Style to Normal Click Apply button Open terminal killall metacity ; sleep 1s ; (sawfish) 5) Mozilla 1.0 STILL complains that it could not initialize the security component, when are they (Mozilla) going to fix that??? has been appearing for AGES. That was never a problem with Mozilla. You don't have the mozilla-psm package installed. The upgrade didn't put it in since you didn't have it beforehand, either. 6) The terminal windows that now pop up are super huge, almost an abomination! what happened to the good old, decent sized, fully configurable terminal windows of RH7.3 ? You can still configure the font size of the terminals. 7) APM is still broken. Dell laptop? Just curious. Mine is. Closing the lid doesn't work well, but hitting Fn+Esc (the keyboard Suspend combo) does. Your laptop may be similar. I don't know what the BIOS does differently, nor can I think of any reason for the BIOS do do anything differently between the two cases, but one works and the other doesn't. I blame crappy Dell hardware, myself. Linux seems considerably less stable on their hardware than on anything else I've used. 8) Previously I was able to configure GDM to use faces that no longer seems possible Red Hat menu - System Settings - Login Screen Set the Local Greeter to Standard greeter Go to the Standard Greeter tab and enable the Show choosable user images (face browser) option. 9) What happened to the menu that appeared when clicking on the desktop background area? now it brings up a useless menu. I want to be able to change the window manager and theme to something more useful and more tasteful than that BlueCurve abomination. Those options are in the RH menu - Preferences 10) Evolution seemed to hang endlessly during the import, in the end it did not import anything, not even my Balsa/ELM mailbox Maybe Evolution 1.2 will work better for you. For me, it seems much worse. I'm torqued that the keymap got all switched around and made more difficult to use, and I'm considering Mozilla. There are other options; try them.

Microsoft Update?
Well this is interesting as it is humorous. My wife's system came down with a virus and I did a full wipe and re-install. We are still using Win98 on the desktops since we are both avid game players. I absolutely refuse to use Outlook in any form (I use Eudora), and I have not used Infection Explosion (IE) since version 4.0 ( I use Opera). Anyway, I re-installed the Office 97 sr2 on my wife's computer and then went to the Microsoft Update site for any security patches. This was my response from MS (LOL): To find the updates you need faster and easier, visit this site with MSN or Internet Explorer.
