Re: ACPI support in Gnome
Hm, I'm myself not a linux expert, and, more over, am using KDE. I'm not experienced with Gnome, so I'm sorry. At least I found out the following: in order for applications to control battery status, they must be able to get the infos from the /proc/acpi directory. If you compiled ACPI battery status as a module, it won't be loaded, and thus, applications cannot read the info. I advice you to compile the options hard into the kernel. So far my knowledge. Feel free to tell me more if you get the latest infos. I will be interesting!

Re: ACPI support in Gnome
Dear Rodrigo, though I've no solution perhaps I can give you a hint. Mandrake has just cool tools built into their latest release, i.e. they are the only ones offering a KDE applet monitoring battery status when acpi is activated. This applet is called kacpi. See rpmseek.net. No idea, wheather equivalent tools are available for Gnome, nor if RedHat offers anything...

Re: ACPI on Sony Vaio Laptop
Dear Cliff, two weaks ago I tried the same thing with an Acer notebook. Unfortunatelly I had no time to rewrite my results into this mailing list. But, I'll do as soon as I have 2 seconds left... :-) You need a kernel from kernel.org since the patch from sourceforge will not work with pre-patched redhad-kernels. Go to http://www.kernel.org and get the kernel 2.4.20. It's the latest stable one. Then get the acpi-patch from sourceforge for the kernel 2.4.20. Be patient, the versions must be matching! For infos how to patch a kernel see man patch. You will need to recompile your kernel. You know how to do it? If not, tell us and we will help you. In the configuratoin menu, disable apm and therefore activate acpi. Recompile your kernel and yeah, your fan powers down and your notebook runs cool!

Re: Kernel build compile errors
If within a compile gcc tells you, that functions are not known, it means, that headers are missing. Try to install the kernel headers. Either you've them anyway or you install the package glibc-kernheaders.xxx.rpm. This should solve the problem. Good luck!

Re: GeForce 4 and RH 7.3
Well, I made bad experiences with the generic driver. It's always better to download drivers from nvidia. So go to www.nvidia.com, klick on download drivers, then linux, and chose one of the IA32 drivers. If unsure, select the NVchoser.sh shell script which tells you which driver to download. If you agree I'll send you all the files directly to your email account. Hey?

Re: problems compiling a kernel: from a newbie
Two days ago I had the same problem with RH 7.3. I'm not shure weather I can help you, but my problem were the missing kernel-headers. Notice the following deps: gcc needs glibc-devel, which needs kernel-headers > 2.2 But: a packet kernel-headers doesn't exist.

First results => APM on Laptops
Dear community, back to the original problem: - Laptop Acer TravelMate 630 latest model 1 week old - RedHat Linux 7.3 - Kernel 2.4.20 from kernel.org - APM compiled; ACPI left out - laptop supporting ACPI Lon Lentz gave me advice to recompile the kernel without ACPI but with APM. I did so. Here are the first (disappointing) results: [A] general - typing # apm -v running the machine only with batteries causes the same fault output # AC on-line, no system battery [B] terminal mode (without X) - typing # apm -s (for suspend) forces the machine to go to sleep. Fan, hdd and everything's powered off. The sleep-led is activated. => That's right. But: the system does not wake up. => Shit! - typing # apm -S (for standby) switches off screen and hdd, but no fan and no cpu. => is it right? At least, the system wakes up ;-) [C] X11-mode (graphical with KDE 3.0) - typing # apm -s (for suspend) tries to send the machine to sleep, but if fails. The computer hangs up somewhere, screen is off and nothing works. Waking up impossible. - typing # apm -S (for standby) sends the machine to standby-mode with the same results as in terminal mode. Waking up is also possible, but after that, resizing windows, drag and drop as well as possibly other X-features are not working. => Big Questionmark ??? Is it the kernel, is it the laptop or is it me who is to stupid to set up apm right? Is it possible the hardware only understands ACPI but not APM, what reason ever? What to do?

confused by FHS and /usr/local
Hi. At the moment I'm diving through the depths of the RedHat documentation and got suck on the part describing the File System Hierarchy Standard (FHS). RedHat writes: "Since /usr can be mounted read-only, /usr can be mounted from the CD-ROM or from another machine via read-only NFS." Some lines below, they write: "For instance, say you have mounted /usr via read-only NFS from a host named jake. If there is a package or program you would like to install, but you are not allowed to write to jake, you should install it under /usr/local. Later perhaps, if you have managed to convince the system administrator of jake to install the program on /usr, you can uninstall it from the /usr/local/ directory." Ha, how to accomplish this task? I mean, 1. how to mount /usr before anything els is up, and 2. how to place a directory /usr/local if THE WHOLE TREE /usr is mounted from a nfs-server? My logic tells me,that it is not possible to mix up locally created directories with those mounted from network. And, my bash tells the same :-) Has anyone any idea how to create such a configuration?

Re: Bluecurve
Bluecurve is not Gnome-specific. It also exists under KDE. What makes RH 8.0 so special and unique at the same time is the fact, that the rpm package "redhat-menues-xyz.rpm" sets logos and menu entried for both worlds - KDE and Gnome. As I am not a very experienced Gnome user, I can only tell my experiences with KDE. There "Bluecurve" is only a style for displaying windows and fonts. You can deselect it and use the original KDE style. The same with the curious icons I'm not friend with. The only thing remaining are the fonts. Up to now I was not able to get the old ones from RH 7.3. Remember: even the login screnn and the splash screen my be replaced by individual themes. Bluecurve is only a first attempt to unique both worlds - Gnome and KDE. It is not a must. If you make any further experience especially under Gnome, please let me know!

The same computer booting with Windows NT or 2000 still activates NumLock. The same problem with emulated virtual OSs in VMware: RedHat always turns off Numlock, but Windows always turns it on.

Re: Got it! redhat-config-packages
Gosh! Now I found out how to teach redhat-config-packages to install from an alternative RPM-tree: 1. copy the dir "RedHat" of all CDs to a target directory 2. copy the RPM-GPG-KEY (for authentification purpose) 3. copy the .discinfo file, so that redhat-config-packages knows how to reach all branches of the tree. AND THAT'S I'VE FORGOTTEN because it's HIDDEN. Well, at least now I'm happy and go luckily to bed :-) Regards, Arthur On Wed, 2002-12-18 at 23:33, Arthur Mueller wrote: > ::: See text inserted below ::: > > > On Wed, 2002-12-18 at 14:55, Michael Schwendt wrote: > > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > On 18 Dec 2002 14:15:30 +0100, Arthur Mueller wrote: > > > > > 2) I passed the argument -t=/usr/src/RedHat_8.0/RPMS, which is my > > > current directory for the RPM-files.

Yes, I tried exactly what you told me and linked the URL properly => No chance. Then I made a 1:1-copy of the first cd, telling redhat-config-packages to use this copy => no chance. But telling this tool to use /mnt/cdrom works. Redhat-config-packages seems to be like a woman: no logic, no deep understanding.

Why does it work when using the first CDROM and entering: redhat-config-packages -t /mnt/cdrom ?

Re: kernel
Jea, so it is. It does not affect your system if you use a common kernel from www.kernel.org. I was as curious as you and simply tried it out, which means I built the kernel 2.4.19 - and it works fine! As long as you don't wish to implement esoteric features, your system will still reboot. But pay attention! NEVER erase your old kernel! Edit the right lines in grub.conf or lilo.conf! And: always take kernels whose second numbers can be divided by two - these are the stable ones (e.g. 2.0.14, 2.2.5, 2.4.18, but never 2.5.12 or 2.3.7). My attempt to kompile a development kernel and afterwards to restart my system failed. Thus, they are under development! Perhaps read a how-to for more information on building kernels.

Re: redhat-config-packages
Dear Mr. Schwendt, as your email was sent by a german public domain I could also write in German. But let's keep it official for the other users: I tried two things: 1) passing no arguments to redhat-config-packages. This envoces to start the program in graphical mode on my display. It's just fine and it works as described, but at the end of each procedure it wants me to insert the original RedHat 8.0-CDs. I get rid of always inserting 3 CDs for 3 packages! 2) I passed the argument -t=/usr/src/RedHat_8.0/RPMS, which is my current directory for the RPM-files. The wizard starts to create a graphical window, but then failes with the following message: "Installation Tree Not Found. The path =/usr/src/Redhat_8.0/RPMS/ does not look like a valid installation source". Even if I replace "=" in the argument list by " ", the same error occurs. It still remains a secret how to tell redhat-config-packages how to use the correct RPM-files...!

redhat-config-packages
Hi! Since RedHat 8.0 a pretty cool tool is shipped within the distribution: redhat-config-packages. It enables you to install/uninstall rpm-packages in a very comfortable way. Up to day I unfortunately was not able to tell the tool not to watch out for packages on the CDROMs but to find the rpm-files in a specific folder on the harddisk. Whenever I wanna do something with it, it always forces me to insert psyche-disk-x, although all my rpm-files are stored locally resp. in network. How can I avoid this stupid request?

Re: Importing Contacts from Outlook XP to Evolution
Yeah, I tried it for a long time myself and now found out how to import contacts from MS Outlook 2000 and higher to Evolution. To do this, you only can save each each contact as vcard, copy them to linux, an then import them to evolution. Neither exists an import-wizard for .pst-files nor an option to import an exportet database-file. Unfortunately you will have to export each single contact in Outlook. This might be a job for a whole after-noon :-( Well, so I did.
