seg fault on severn
by Ketil Hage
i have RedHat 9.0.93 installed on a laptop. Downlodaded the Citrix client and
installed it. I can configure Citrix, but get a seg fault when i try to connect
through wfica(the client). I suspect that glibc has something to do with it. Is
there an glibc* update somewhere that i can test on severn, or do i have to
wait for beta2 or final version?

Test kernel
by Jim Cornette
I tried out kernel-2.4.22-1.2040.nptl on an HP ze4315us laptop and it
locked up on pcmcia when booting the machine. Previously, the problem
was with mozilla locking up on the 2039 kernel an works alright using
the kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl kernel.
What has changed between the kernel versions that causes the pmcia lockup?

RH10 multimedia support
by Joseph Phillips
Hopefully now that Red Hat has cleared up the issue between their enterprise
line and their "community" product, they will reintroduce more
out-of-the-box multimedia support in their community line (RH10 for
example).
For example, I hope Red Hat 10 includes a good movie player -- like Totem
from Gnome 2.4.
One of the worst experiences for me was trying to setup mplayer on RH9. It
still doesn't work right. I get skins errors, and the codecs didn't get
setup right, and I had lib problems when compiling from source. Just a plain
pain in the butt.
In RH10, here's what I'd hope for--a pre-packaged movie player that works
perfectly on it's own. And, an unofficial RPM that automatically installs
all of the codecs that I could ever possibly want.
Imagine that. If all I had to do was "rpm -ivh codecs.rpm" and my movie
player was up and running with support for all the formats that I could ever
want to play.
Anyway, I hope RH addresses more multimedia issues in RH10. I was able to
get xmms working well with the mp3 RPM from gurulabs, so I'm happy about
that. But the xmms front-end could use a bit of work in my opinion. Maybe it
needs to be HIG-ified or something, but it's not a really intuitive
interface if you ask me.
It's the same issue with Java and flash player for the browser. I'm not shy
of the console, but still I'd prefer an easier way to get plugins installed.
Like the way IE does it for example: if you go to a site that has java or
flash, a little pop-up comes up and prompts you to automatically install the
software. I don't see why Red Hat can't accomplish this with the browsers
they bundle in their distribution (epiphany, galeon, konqueror, mozilla).

reiser 4 under 2.6.0-test5?
by Robert P. J. Day
has anyone taken a stab at this yet? earlier, i found the following
file at ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/tmp:
2.6.0-test5-reiser4-2.6.0-test5.diff.bz2
which certainly looked like an attempt at reiser 4 support under
the latest test kernel. it patched cleanly, and i did a config to
select reiser 4 support, but when i ran make, i got an error
referring to a missing "fs/reiser4/Makefile" file.
turns out that there *is* a fs/reiserfs directory, but not a
"fs/reiser4", so i just tossed in a symlink reiser4 -> reiserfs in
that "fs" directory, and the build worked.
i haven't yet had time to reboot and test, but the fact that the
build worked is a good sign.
there are, of course, new reiserfsprogs for this as well.
comments? anyone else trying this?

update to kernel-2.4.22-1.2040
by Féliciano Matias
for rpm (and up2date/yum/apt) the new kernel (2.4.22-1.2040.nptl) is
older than the previous kernel (2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36.nptl).
So use "rpm -U --oldpackages" to update.

cryptoloop
by Féliciano Matias
The last rawhide kernel seems to use the new cryptoapi :
http://cvs.kerneli.org/cryptoapi2-core/
Unlike the RH9 kernel, the last rawhide kernel lack of cryptoloop
support (or i miss something).
I build kernel and util-linux packages with cryptoloop support. The
difficulty is to find the right patch :-(
rebuild kernel package is require because cryptoloop needs a new loop
module witch conflict with the redhat loop module.
http://feliciano.matias.free.fr/cryptoloop_rawhide/ (currently down)
or
http://fmatias.dyndns.org/~f.matias/cryptoloop_rawhide/ (my home
computer with a few bandwidth ).
Notice that you may need "--phash rmd160old" (or "phash=rmd160old" in
/etc/fstab) to access old crypted content.
WARNING : I am not a hacker !
With mozilla and epiphany from rawhide, this page is broken :
http://fmatias.dyndns.org/manual/index.html
I run RedHat Linux Rawhide with default httpd.conf.
This is the only customisation i have
/etc/httpd/conf.d/userdir_f.matias.conf :
---------------------------
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir enabled f.matias
UserDir public_html
<Directory "/home/f.matias/public_html">
Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Indexes
</Directory>
</IfModule>
---------------------------
It's a mozilla or apache bug ?

Nautilus still doesn't do wildcards?
by Steve Bergman
I just updated to the current severn-updates channel and was hoping that
maybe nautilus would accept wildcards. Googling around a bit suggests
to me that not many people care about that feature (or lack, thereof).
Am I the only one that wants to be able to type:
./*.rpm
and see all my rpm files, etc?
Not a complaint. Just curious. I mean, even my old DOS file manager
could do this. Or perhaps this is supported and I just don't know how
to do it?

Error 28 when trying to dial with modem...
by Noah Silva [Mailing list]
Hi,
I have a desktop with an external motorola 56k modem. I set it up from
within redhat-config-network, and kudzu sees it as well. I tested it from
minicom, and it works. Trying to connect from the control panel though,
it gived me "Failed to activate ppp0 with error 28". Of course error 28
has no description, nor did I even know what program it actually came
from.
I tried a laptop with severn on it as well, and got the same error.
i eventually found some postings about the same error code (not in severn
though), and found I could use ppp-watch. It also stops with error 28.
The man page for ppp-watch isn't helpful at all, and doesn't have any
error codes either.
Where is a list of error codes and descriptions?
Is this bug in bugzilla?
Any suggestions?
thanks,
noah silva
