No, I have a line saying and that was working before with XFree86 (this
laptop started with Red_Hat 6.2)
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

In fact I just discover the xrandr command and I can change the
resolution
again. I got even more than in the Modes line of xconf.org !

It seems those properties are in :
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.10/greprefs/all.js
pref("print.postscript.paper_size","letter");
but I haven't try to change it :)

Hi,
after installing SL4.4 on a new desktop I found that ssh-agent
did not work as expected with icewm as it does under SL4.1
Your post help me to solve this problem by replacing the
following lines in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
goubert:{root}:/etc/X11/xdm > diff -ruN Xsession.orig Xsession
--- Xsession.orig 2006-08-11 22:01:34.0 +0200

@@ -43,7 +43,7 @@
case $# in
1)
if [ -x "$SWITCHDESKPATH/Xclients.$1" ]; then
- exec -l $SHELL -c "$SWITCHDESKPATH/Xclients.$1";
+ exec -l $SHELL -c "$SSH_AGENT $DBUS_LAUNCH
$SWITCHDESKPATH/Xclients.$1";
fi;
case "$1" in
Under 4.1 the call to ssh-agent was done before in
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common
which is no longer true in 4.4.

Strange updates
Hello,
Is there a way to know from which repo a package come ?
I ask because I had sl-contrib enabled from the begining
without any problem. But today afer the last yum update
ssh was not working with messages like:
buffer_append_space: len 5 not supported
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
rabeson:{root}:/var/log > service sshd restart
Stopping sshd: [FAILED]
Starting sshd:buffer_append_space: len 1 not supported
I spent a little time to understand this openssh.i386 3.9p1-8.SL.4.21
came from sl-contrib and not sl-errata
Strange enough is that I had this problem only on my laptop
(i386 SL4.1) and not on my home PC (x86_64 SL4.4) which still has :
openssh-3.9p1-8.SL.4.20
On may 10 I also have a "strange" update which "installed"
ati-fglrx.i686 8.18.6.1-0.SL.1 (I have a nvidia card !)

Hello,
unfortunately I don't have any real REHL4.
I did this test with an external usb drive and in this case
the bug does'nt show up.

I am not sure I understand what is the result of the rpm --import command
because if I do a :
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey
I get :

I first thought that was an UTF8 problem, but I got the same behavior with iso-8859-1 encoding. So I re-install the previous release (1.5.0.12-0.3.el4) and I can print afresh.

Hello, I wonder if it is related but under SL4.5 I am still using the old firefox1.5.0.12-0.3.el4 (july 2007) as I cannot print with the more recent releases. I allready mentionned this problem on november 16 and since that time I tried : export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 which resulted in the same garbage on the screen. I tried the PSI version kindly given by Urs Beyerle but I have the same problem on my laptop. I also remove my .mozilla directory. What I see on the generated postscrip is that the fonts have changed from Nimbus and Lucida to Helvetica and Times. Helvetica 12:< /FontName /Helvetica.Bold.0.0.7fff.0.Set0 def 16:< /FontBBox [0 0 0 0]readonly def 494:< %%BeginResource: font Helvetica.Regular.0.0.7fff.0.Set0 495:< %!PS-AdobeFont-1.0-3.0 Helvetica.Regular.0.0.7fff.0.Set0 1.0 504:< /FontName /Helvetica.Regular.0.0.7fff.0.Set0 def It seems I am alone with this problem and if someone as any idea where I could search ... I also noted that printing the same page several times give different generated postscript files. For example, when printing this URL : http://www.sauvonslarecherche.fr/spip.php?page=imprimer&id_article=1736 I got : ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.10.el4_1.ps printing again: ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.10.el4_2.ps and again: ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.10.el4_3.ps with firefox1.5.0.12-0.3.el4 (july 2007) the good result is: ftp://ftp.lmd.jussieu.fr/pub/robert/SL/slr_firefox-1.5.0.12-0.3.el4_OK.ps Thanks for your help. -- Best regards, Robert FRANCHISSEUR Apollo_gist :-)___ | Robert FRANCHISSEUR | | Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique - C.N.R.S. | | Equipe "R.A.M.S.E.S." - UPMC - Tour 45-55 3ème 315C | | Boite 99 - 4, place JussieuF-75252 PARIS CEDEX 05 FRANCE | | Phone : +33 (0)1 44 27 73 87 fax : +33 (0)1 44 27 62 72 | | e-mail : robert at lmd . jussieu . fr http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr | ---

I got :
yum -d 1 list openssh
Installed Packages
openssh.x86_64 3.9p1-8.SL.4.22
installed
Available Packages
openssh.x86_64 3.9p1-8.RHEL4.24

I am sure sl-contrib is not enabled ( I check many times)
but strange enough, enabling sl-contrib I only got:
yum --enablerepo=sl-contrib -d 1 list openssh
Installed Packages
openssh.x86_64 3.9p1-8.SL.4.22
installed
So investigating furter I finaly found that when adding our local
repo in sl.repo I did a bad copy paste :-((
[sl-base]
name=SL 4 base
baseurl=ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/scientific-linux/45/$basearch/SL/RPMS/

That's indeed a very good idea !

Very stange DHCP problem with SL5.4
Hello, After installing 9 new desktops with DHCP I changed the network config to static IP and restart the network. But they are still requesting DHCP adresse. The dhcp server gives them a dynamic IP and then there are no free lease (we have only 5 for guests). It is the first time I see that and I really dont understand what happened. There is no NetworkManager no avahi-daemon no nscd and no clone interface. So I have one static IP and one dhcp IP on eth0 I can ping: seraphine.lmd.jussieu.fr (134.157.47.113) at 00:25:64:9E:CE:A2 [ether] on eth0 shaughnessy.lmd.jussieu.fr (134.157.47.30) at 00:25:64:9E:CE:A2 [ether] on eth0 I removed dhclient but I still see the request on the logs of the dhcpd server.

Slow boot with Kernel 2.6.18-194.x.y on SL5.4
Hello, On our Dell laptops E6400 or E6500 the boot process is very long. It takes ~ 40 seconds between: Redhat NASH and INIT: if we suppress 'quiet' we see that the problem is after the line : device-mapper : dm-raid45 : initialized V0.25941 Waiting for driver initialization and it seems the system is waiting some timeout.

By the way I remember there is a yum-conf-5x to stay with the
latest release (I used it for 4x) but I don't remeber how to
install it.
I tried with yum and rpm without success :
jones:{root}:/etc > yum install yum-conf-5x
...
Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch conflicts
with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch
jones:{root}:/etc > rpm -Uvh
/var/cache/yum/sl-base/packages/yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch.rpm
...
file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch conflicts
with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch
Shall I remove yum-conf first ?
Thanks for your help.

glibc-devel-2.5-42.i386 from sl-base has depsolving problems

I don't understand why it is looking for 2.5-42 as there is 2.5-49 in the repo.
Thanks for your help.

firstboot problem on laptop Dell E6510
Hello, is there a way to bypass the probing of the video card during install ? There is an nvidia card probed on new Dell E6510 laptop which does not work with the nv driver . I tried vga=nnn that first work but anaconda then find the nvidia and X failed. If not, my second question is: after installing nvidia-x11-drv, is there a way to have firstboot running on the next reboot (I removed /etc/sysconfig/firstbootand /var/lock/subsys/firstboot without success) Thanks for your help. -- Best regards, Robert FRANCHISSEUR Apollo_gist :-)___ | Robert FRANCHISSEUR | | Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique - C.N.R.S. | | Equipe "R.A.M.S.E.S." - UPMC - Tour 45-55 3ème 315C | | Boite 99 - 4, place JussieuF-75252 PARIS CEDEX 05 FRANCE | | Phone : +33 (0)1 44 27 73 87 fax : +33 (0)1 44 27 62 72 | | e-mail : robert at lmd . jussieu . fr http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr | ---

Yes and I can skip thru the menus ... and the boot
process start.

Yes, I think so :
demeo:{root}:/home/bobs > fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 4020 MB, 4020240384 bytes
92 heads, 27 sectors/track, 3161 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2484 * 512 = 1271808 bytes

/dev/sdb223613161 994842 83 Linux

Freeing unused kernel memory Write protecting the kernel read-only data : 504 k Failled to execute linuxrc. Attempting defaults... Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel So I did a diff between initrd.gz on the iso file and the onr on the USB key and they differ ! I copy again initrd.gz and the boot sequence went further but after "creating /etc/fstab" I had an othe Kernel panic. So I think the problem is with the USB key (brand new (: and I will try an other one.
