We're using xorg-x11-font-utils-7.1-2 on SL5.4 and I've noticed that the
header for the rpm says it requires "mkfontdir". Should that not be
either '/usr/bin/mkfontdir' or 'xorg-x11-font-utils'?
Just having 'mkfontdir' seems to break things when using "rpm" to
install the package".

What's wrong with just 'yum install xorg-x11-fonts-ISO88
The Uni of Edinburgh does not use yum on its supported (LCFG) SL5.x
platform. We have to installed each and every rpm.

I don't know about you Faye but I do sometimes use yum to install a new
bit of software; it's especially handy for sorting out dependencies and

Yes but we use the mdp devolved layer and I've asked if their repos are
yum enabled and they say no.
So unless my LM say's I can create a yum archive I'm not sure what else
I can do.

Hey everyone,
I currently have deployed a number of SL 5.2 i386 machines. Due to the
circumstances, I'm not in a position to upgrade them to the latest 5.x
with ease. Lately I've been having trouble with systems locking up hard
that are running an nvidia card using the 190.42 or 195.36.15

Hello Mark,
we are having problems with X11 slowly leaking memory, which then leads to a
system crash. Do you see anything similar?
My attempts at using valgrind have been inconclusive (if not confusing) up to
now...

Sergio,
I haven't noticed any memory leaks, but I also haven't been actively
hunting them down. There don't seem to be any signs of dwindling
performance before this happens. Most times, it is just idling
overnight. At most, there is a small amount of network traffic on an

I had a problem like that with a (now decommissioned) SL5.3 box with a GeForce
FX5000 series card. I seem to recall that after installing the nVidia 190.53
drivers, the issue disappeared. Under 190.42, the machine would randomly lock
up then reboot--it was really frustrating. I never r
