Kernel Update - if it's not broke do I fix it?
Howdy, I have a 7.3 server running Apache, PHP, MySQL, and WU-FTP. I of course keep all of those packages updated since I have to have most of the ports open in the firewall to use them. However, I have not upgrade the kernel since the install about a year ago. It is version 2.4.18-3. I have three questions, #1 How important is it to keep the kernel updated, I could imagine maybe I have just gotten lucky but the machine has been wonderful up to date. #2 How big of risk do I run upgrading the kernel, is there a good chance that I could hose the machine, or is it as easy as running rpm -Fvh kernel.rpm? #3 When I run rpm -qa | grep kernel it only returns kernel-2.4.18-3, when I look at the available kernel updates I find kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-20.7.i386.rpm and kernel-source-2.4.20-20.7.i386.rpm as well...my practice in the past has always been to only install updated packages for what I already have on the machine...excuse my ignorance but I am extremely new to the linux world, and have heard so many horror stories about kernel updates...any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

RE: Kernel Update - if it's not broke do I fix it?
will installing the mew kernel with rpm -ivh kernel_new_zzz.rpm (a) add the new kernel image to my boot loader (in this case GRUB) (b) keep the entry for the old kernel in my boot loader I don't know of any other way to be able to retreat if for some reason the new kernel does not boot... Hi Jason Yes to both questions. Thanks for the advice Sean...I am going to research the kernel updates some more and evaluate the upgrade. I do have a question about the kernel and being able to retreat. If I install the newkernel.rpm with rpm -ivh it will install, and running in conjunction with the old kernel? So once I reboot by default it will load the newest kernel? Then once I let it run for a couple days and everything seems fine I could safely run rpm -e oldkernel.rpm to remove the old? Then on the other hand, if I install the newkernel.rpm and something isn't working right could reboot into the old kernel and run rpm -e newkernel.rpm? Is there a chance that after the kernel has been updated that the machine will not boot at all, or as long as I have the old kernel I can always boot with that? And finally *if* I go ahead with this am I crazy to do this remotely over SSH? Thanks a million!!

PHP Upgrade - 4.1 to 4.3
I currently have a RedHat 7.3 machine running PHP 4.1.2. I need to upgrade it to a 4.3.x build. I have been searching around for RPM's and have been unsuccessful in getting any that work correctly. I have also tried downloading PHP 4.3.3 from www.php.net, after hours of reading the INSTALL file I still can't get this update working. I was wondering if anyone had a update RPM, or full RPM of a PHP 4.3.x version that they could point me toward. I have already checked www.rpmfind.net. Any help would be great!! Thanks!!

Re: Termcap problems
- Original Message - From: Steadman Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 3:05 PM Subject: Termcap problems Hi I am currently trying to migrate a 4GL application from a Unix (SCO) to linux. I have successfully rebuilt the application executables on linux. However, I am unable to properly run the application due to termcap issues. I have tried using the same termcap that was used on SCO Unix but this has not proven totally successful. Attempts to use the default termcap that comes with the linux (RedHat) OS fails with error Termcap entry too long . The specific terminal types desired are: VT320 with extended (108) keyboard, and VT420 with the 104 (PC) keyboard. The entries (vt320, vt420pc) in the termcap file for these terminal types were extracted to reduce the size of the termcap file. This also proved unsuccessful. It appears that a line in the definitions for these terminal types is creating the problem. Question: Can you provide a resolution for this problem? Regards Steadman Williams -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list We converted our 4GL from SCO to Linux several years ago and also experienced termcap problems with vt220 emulation. Are you using ncurses? If so, use terminfo instead of termcap. Also, if possible, use a terminal emulator, such as putty, and use the linux terminal emulation. This solved all of our problems and our apps all run fine now. BDavis -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

You'll thank yourself later for doing it that way than installing various RPMs people tell you about onto production only to find some things break. Michael. For sure! The last thing I need to do is break something that is working! No matter how fun it is! If you get RedCarpet, the most up to date packages for your system will be offered for download and install. Red Carpet looks REALLY helpful, and not to be to dense but I looked on their site and under RedHat 7.3 there are a bunch of RPM's to install...do I need all of them?

Emergency /var move.

(Yeah, lets check Leave mail on server, grar). Anyway. I don't have an extra hard drive to throw in the machine to put /var on. NFS is not an option. The idea I came up with was to shutdown sendmail, pop3, and imapd, mv /var/spool/mail /hosting/mailspool (which has 30~G free), ln -s /hosting/mailspool /var/spool/mail, then startup sendmail, pop3, and imapd.

Re: zillions of mgetty.log.ttyS4.1.1.1.1... messages
Thanks for the reply Eric. I reviewed the
mgetty file and found the astersik, and Isee what you have changed.
However, it seems to me that what ever problem caused these 'zillions' of files
to be created, will still create them, or am I missing something? Your
change seems to limit new log file creation to those ports that are valid (ie,
S0, PS13, PS14 and PS15 in your case). In my case, since I only have one
valid port (S4), then I would be simply changing the line
'/var/log/mgetty.log.tty* {' to be '/var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS4 {' which
would still allow error messages to be created for port S4.But,
these are the errors that I was getting. What I really want to know, is
what causes the S4 port to start creating bunches and bunches of empty log files
in just a few seconds. Any idea?
Thanks again,

Fw: Need to disable Gnome F1 Shortcut (Help) key
Our 'C' application makes extensive use of the keyboard Fkeys. Prior to RH8.0 everything worked fine. Now, when we press the F1 key in the application, the gnome HELP window displays, interfering with our application. Chapter 1.2 of the gnome Users Guide states that the Desktop Shortcut keys can be modified by choosing Applications--Desktop Preferences--Keyboard Shortcuts, and figure 1.2.1 shows F1 as the default online help key. However, when we display the live table on our RedHat 8.0 Server, only 4 Desktop shortcut keys are displayed, and none of them are the help key. How do we disable the F1 key so that our application will run properly again?? Thanks, Billy
ncurses problem under RH8.0
We have a text based ncurses application that has been running great under RH7.3. However, when we recompiled it under RH8.0 and ran it, the window borders have disappeared, the window headers all display in column 1 of the top window line, instead of centered at the top of the window, and various other minor display problems exist within the windows. When we moved a copy of the compiled 7.3 application runtimes over to 8.0 and ran them there, we experienced the same problems. Therefore, it appears to be more of a runtime problem than a compile problem. Has anybody else experienced this, and is there a fix? Thanks, Billy
F1 function key interference in X terminal window
We have upgraded a text based application that previously ran in an X terminal window under RH7.3, to now run under RH8.0.

Re: Fw: Running text based application in a Window

When I later edited the file from 'Icon=zoom.png' to 'Icon=parts.png', the old icon continues to display on the desktop. How do I change it? 2. The text window that displays my application is a fixed size that is almost too small to read. I have a 15 Monitor, set to 800x600x24m colors. The text window size is 8x5.5. If I click on the full screen button, the window fills the screen, but the text size is the same and still fits in an 8x5.5 area. Is there a way to make the text larger? 3. When I went to add the .desktop file to my other users, I found that there was no .gnome-desktop directory (or any other gnome directories) in their home directories. Why is that, and how can I add them? 4. Where can I find documentation or man pages on the valid settings for the .desktop file, and the valid colors? Thanks again for the help.

Looks like I took 2 steps forward and one step backward. While testing the 'gnome-terminal -x myprogram' approach, I discovered that I could add '--background=BLUE --foreground=WHITE' and I got nice colors in the text window, instead of black and white. With the new approach (.desktop file in user/.gnome-desktop), I have lost the colors. However, my application program does run when I click on the icon. My current questions are: 1. Is there a way to add color lines to the [Desktop Entry] file to get my colors back? 2. When I log onto the gnome window as 'parts', the 'Start Here' window is automatically open, and I have to close it to be able to see my 'Parts Dept' icon. Can I change this to not display the 'Start Here' window unless I click on the 'Start Here' icon? 3. After reading your note on .bash_profile, I removed my .profile file from the 'parts' users directory, and re-enabled .bash_profile, adding the switch settings to it, from the .profile file. For example, I have a lot of switches like this: INVENTORY=TRUE BINNUMS=TRUE MULTICOST=FALSE DATADIR=/parts/data etc. 4. After logging onto gnome as 'parts', with .bash_profile modified and enabled, clicking on the 'Parts Dept' icon will briefly display a black and white empty text window, and then will immediately close. Opening a regular terminal window and testing for my switches (ie, echo $INVENTORY), confirms that they are not set. Restoring things back to using the .profile allows the application to come up properly. Why will .bash_profile not work? Again, thanks for your help. I think I am close on this.

downloading isos
Hi, It's recommended to use curl to download the isos. It's advised to copy and paste the very long url. I can't figure out how to get the url copied so I can paste it. Any advice?

Re: Fw: Running text based application in a Window
Thanks for your continuing help Tony. Looks like I took 2 steps forward and one step backward. While testing the 'gnome-terminal -x myprogram' approach, I discovered that I could add '--background=BLUE --foreground=WHITE' and I got nice colors in the text window, instead of black and white. With the new approach (.desktop file in user/.gnome-desktop), I have lost the colors. However, my application program does run when I click on the icon. My current questions are: 1. Is there a way to add color lines to the [Desktop Entry] file to get my colors back? 2. When I log onto the gnome window as 'parts', the 'Start Here' window is automatically open, and I have to close it to be able to see my 'Parts Dept' icon. Can I change this to not display the 'Start Here' window unless I click on the 'Start Here' icon? 3. After reading your note on .bash_profile, I removed my .profile file from the 'parts' users directory, and re-enabled .bash_profile, adding the switch settings to it, from the .profile file. For example, I have a lot of switches like this: INVENTORY=TRUE BINNUMS=TRUE MULTICOST=FALSE DATADIR=/parts/data etc. 4. After logging onto gnome as 'parts', with .bash_profile modified and enabled, clicking on the 'Parts Dept' icon will briefly display a black and white empty text window, and then will immediately close. Opening a regular terminal window and testing for my switches (ie, echo $INVENTORY), confirms that they are not set. Restoring things back to using the .profile allows the application to come up properly. Why will .bash_profile not work? Again, thanks for your help. I think I am close on this.

Re: Fw: Running text based application in a Window
Thanks again Tony. I have been playing with variations of your notes and now have a much better feel for what I really want. I would like to have user 'parts' log into an xwindow screen and see the normal gnome screen. Then, I would like to add an icon the says 'Parts Dept'. When the icon is clicked on, I would like the parts application (ie, myprogram) to execute. So, my real question is, how do I add a fresh icon and startup script file to the gnome window? Also, some time back, I found that .bash_profile in the users home directory would not allow me to start the text based application properly. But I found that if I disabled .bash_profile (by renaming it), this caused the users .profile file to execute at login, and it brought the application up properly. That fixed my text logon problem, but now when I logon to the gnome window, .profile does NOT get executed, and none of my application flags get set. What does the gnome logon default to when it cannot find .bash_profile in the users home directory? Thanks for all of your help. This thing is starting to look very promising.

Running text based application in a Window
We have a text based (ncurses) application that normally runs in a text screen. Currently, when we boot our RH7.3 server, it displays the Gnome login screen. We press CtrlAltF1 to get to a text screen and then log into our application. Each login is setup (via .profile) to go to a specific menu in the application.Instead, we would like to logon to the Gnome screen, and have it bring up a text window, with the appropriate text menu displayed. Is this possible, and if so, where can I find setup documentation? Thanks, bdavis
Re: Fw: Running text based application in a Window
Thanks Tony. This looks like what I want, except how do I specify a different 'myprogram' for each login account? For example, when user 'larry' logs in, he should run the 'partsmenu' program. When tom logs in, he should run the 'servicemenu' program. When root logs in, it should act as it does now, and not go to one of our application menus. How do we handle this?

Only the one with the direct connection to the satellite receiver gets the full speed of the satellite. The others receive at 20K or so. Planned on using the 486 for a firewall, but I can't find a 16 bit network card that is 10/100 only 10. I didn't know whether that would slow things down too much or not so haven't tried to setup the satellite receiver on it yet. All 3 computers dual boot with RH7.2 and win98se.

Re: system security
Hi, I have them connected with ethernet cards and a hub also. On the fast computers they are netgear cards. Don't have the model right handy. On the 486 it's a generic 16 bit card. That really doesn't seem to make much difference. It does seem that keeping the activity on the computer connected to the internet (I guess gateway box would be correct) may help. It seems that there should be a way to to get full speed with all the boxes but I haven't figured that out yet. I'm no expert, self taught and have more gaps in my knowledge base than anything else. I've got to go to work now. Will check back over lunch hour. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Re: Hacked again...
Am currently running up2date on a fresh install of RH 7.2. Kept running into the same problem of authorization required. I was running #up2date -u and all I had to do was hit either the up or down key, I think it is the down key and that would bring up the #up2date -u command and it would run thru the sequence and then begin downloading where it had stopped before. Finally got smart and ran #up2date up2date and then copied the up2date file to up2date.old deleted up2date and copied the up2date.newrpm file to up2date. I used the complete directory with the commands to be sure nothing got screwed up. It's working like a charm and haven't seen anymore authorization required statements.

up2date ssl_connect error
Hi All, Can't get away from the error message ssl_connect error. Tried to fix it by erasing up2date, up2date-gnome, rhn_register, rhn-register-gnome and popt and replacing them with up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2.i386.rpm, up2date-gnome-2.7-11-7.x.2.i386.rpm, rhn_register-2.7.2-7.x.8.i386.rpm, rhn_register-gnome-2.7.2-7.x.8.i386.rpm and popt-0.8.8-7.x.2.i386.rpm. Same thing. Somebody said to run fsck and I tried to but shouldn't have. It warned me the partition was active and I went ahead anyway and RH 7.2 crashed. So I reinstalled RH 7.2 everything and I get the same error. It used to work and I have three other systems that work fine. This computer is homebuilt as are the others and it's got an AMD Athlon 1.4 gig cpu 2 hard drives, one for windoze and one for linux. Any suggestions.

Telnet connection fails

Seems like I should be able to find some way to get XF86_FBDev listed in Xconfigurator but can't figure out how now. I 'm pretty sure I've done something similar before. The framebuffer rpm is XFree86-FBDev-3.3.6-42.i386.rpm. Thanks for your help. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
