re kernel-2.6.0-test: what to do with /etc/modprobe.conf??
by Robert P. J. Day 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

based on my reading, the new kernel prefers to read from the file /etc/modprobe.conf, rather than the older /etc/modules.conf. to help in the migration, there is the utility "generate-modprobe.conf", but in this situation, it doesn't work -- it fails complaining of a missing "modprobe.old". i'm suspecting that generate-modprobe.conf was written with the assumption that one would have upgraded separately to the newer version of modutils, which was backwards compatible and, IIRC, moved the older versions of the module commands to their corresponding ".old" names. this is, i'm guessing, what generate-modprobe.conf is looking for, but severn, since it comes with the newer version of modutils already, has no such ".old" backups. hence the failure. thoughts? rday

Please excuse me if this ends up being a duplicate. I sent it originally before I joined the list, and I don't believe it ever made it through.

Can we have g++/libstdc 32 packages
by Mike Martin 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Severn ships gcc32 packages but no matching g++ packages. This causes problems with packages that dont compile with 3.3 (eg: gst-plugins), and deps if they also use c++ code, because they have a mismatch with libstdc Will bugzilla when bugzilla is working __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Evolution and openldap
by Thomas J. Baker 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Anyone have evolution connecting to a severn included openldap 2.1.22 server over either tls or plain ldaps? I keep getting TLS trace: SSL3 alert read:fatal:unknown CA TLS trace: SSL_accept:failed in SSLv3 read client certificate A TLS: can't accept. TLS: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca s3_pkt.c:1052 connection_read(7): TLS accept error error=-1 id=0, closing errors. When I connect using openssl s_client -state -debug -connect localhost:ldaps, it connects fine. I have the minimum three tls lines defined: TLSCACertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt TLSCertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd.pem and the permissions are all correct.

Re: 2.6.0-test2 and NVidia 4496 = no direct rendering?

Hi I had the same problem with XFree86 rpms newer than 4.3.0-2. Maybe your two installs have different versions of this. good luck, lars

vmware tools install
by Todd Booher 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Has anyone been able to install the vmware tools on a severn guest VM? It appears some of the paths have changed (like the folder containing the init scripts) and the install prompts for these paths. Thanks, Todd

next up: trying to build/boot a 2.6.0-test[x] kernel
by Robert P. J. Day 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

based (loosely) on my 2.4 kernel config file, i've built both a 2.6.0-test1 and 2.6.0-test2 kernel, and tried to boot both of them. they both freeze right around the "Freeing unused kernel memory" message, sometimes just two or three lines before that, but always pretty much in the same place. i'm pretty sure this isn't the ubiquitous missing-VT-config problem since that normally stops printing output long before then, and i've verified that i have the vt options configured in. i'm just digging into that, but if anyone has hints, that would be nice. (obviously, i built those kernels with gcc 3.3). slowly, but surely. rday

I haven't tried test2 yet, but with test1 I got both OSS and ALSA working. Also try running mixer and see if sound is muted, I think it fails to save/restore volume settings with 2.6 kernels. > > > -- > Rhl-beta-list mailing list > Rhl-beta-list(a)redhat.com > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhl-beta-list >

RE: 2.6.0- test2, getting sound to work?
by Glen Maeding 31 Jul '03

You might want open up one console ( Xterm, or konsole, your choice ) then go 'su' and type in 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. After you do that, try to redetect sound via 'Redhat Main Menu > System Setting > Soundcard Detection'. Now watch what the messages say and report back. Smile. This used to be a problem in RH 9.0 until they released kernel 2.4.20-18.9. Heh, ironically, I was able to get around that by using the old RH8 kernel RPM and booting to that to get any sound at all. But I believe for the purpose of this beta testing, we want to use newer kernels? * ** Glen Maeding * ** MIS Tech @ Kidspeace Inc. * ** Webmaster of MIS-comm, Pdangel.org, and others... * ** E-mail: gmaeding(a)kidspeace.org * ** Pager e-mail: goik(a)tmail.com -----Original Message----- From: Mike Martin [mailto:redtuxxx@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 4:36 AM To: rhl-beta-list(a)redhat.com Subject: Re: 2.6.0- test2, getting sound to work? --- Gerald Henriksen <ghenriks(a)rogers.com> wrote: > I have 2.6.0-test2 running thanks to the rpms, now what do I need > to > do to get sound working? > > I have had some fun with this - so I may be able to help questions 1. what soundcard 2.
