Sorry, I was eating. What was that about racing? (see message - no subject: anant singare). Also, any time frame for the RHL pages being updated? Thx, Chuck

browser problem
by Shadhin rahman 24 Aug '03

24 Aug '03

My browser was not working properly, it did not execute any javasript enable pages. So, I enabled java on my browser. it did not help. I installed most updated browser, netscape 7.1 and mozilla 1.5. Unfortunately it did not help either. I installed most updated version of jvm. Now when I tried to launch netscape, I get an error message and I am not able to view java enabled webpages. The error message is given below LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/netscape/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/usr/local/netscape/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID] Anyone has any idea about how can I fix this error. P.S Special thanks to Aron Bannet and Steve Bergmen for giving instruction about text mode. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Help?.... Fatal Installation Error
by Karl Dyson 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

Hi All, I'm attempting to install RH9 on a system. RH has been installed before, and was running fine. Currently the system is running XP with no problems. I get the following error: ================== There was an error installing XXXXX. This can indicate media failure, lack of disk space, and/ or hardware problems. This is fatal error and your install will be aborted. Please verify your media and try install again. ================== The reason I filled in the XXXXX is that the install stops with this message at various points. Of the 7 or 8 attempts I've made to install, it's not stopped on the same package. Additionally, I've attempted the install via 2 sets of CDs, and also via HTTP and FTP. The HTTP and FTP installs were done from fresh .iso files downloaded from a mirror. In the case of the CD installs, it doesn't matter whether I use the DVDROM or the CDROM. The first set of CD media I tried has been used successfully to build multiple other systems, so I'm assuming there is something the installer does not like with the system? The only change to the system since it last ran RedHat was an upgrade from 512meg to 1024meg of RAM. I'm trying to install on sdc. /boot (100meg) on sdc1, swap (512meg) on sdc2 and / (the rest of sdc) on sdc3. Grub is my bootloader of choice and is on sda. This has been working before, with both RedHat and Gentoo. System spec: Asus P3V4X with BIOS rev 1003 PIII 1Ghz 1024Mb RAM Matrox G400 Max Dual Head Adaptec 2940U2W sda = IBM 18Gig 10k Ultra 160 sdb = IBM 18Gig 10k Ultra 160 sdc = IBM 9Gig 10k Ultra2 hdb = 36x CDROM hdc = DVDROM hdd = LS120 Floppy drive Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance, Karl ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

ACPI implementation
by rada and gus 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

I don't know if this is the "correct" forum for addressing this question/problem but I have been impressed by the responses and attitudes on this list. I have been using RedHat for three years and I have RH9 on my presario 2800 laptop. Works really fine, but I can't tell how much battery power is left when running on battery. I've tried to understand how to enable ACPI, but recompiling the kernel was the easiest part of the process to understand. I am not a newbie, but the process far surpasses my computing skills. I've read that other distro(s) implement ACPI "right out of the box". Is there any chance for the upcoming release to have this feature enabled by default on the laptop install? Gus Degreef

I am not sure if it was this exact message, but I also had to fiddle around a little to get java (Sun version, 1.4.2) to work. Turns out it comes with various versions of the plugin: $ ls -l /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386 total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 4096 Jun 28 10:11 ns4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 4096 Jun 28 10:11 ns610 drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 4096 Jun 28 10:11 ns610-gcc32 And this last one, ns610-gcc32 is the one you want for RedHat 9, compiled using gcc 3.2 David Jansen -- David Jansen mailto:jansen@strw.leidenuniv.nl Leiden Observatory ( Sterrewacht Leiden ) P.O.

rhl website?
by Alex Kanavin 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

Any idea when it's going to be back? ======================= Red Hat remains excited about the open development process announced on Monday. We're currently reworking the content of this site to clarify questions people have raised since our announcement. We'll have the site restored as soon as possible. ======================= I wonder what the questions were - the website while it was still avaiable looked good enough to me. I also have that disturbing thought that one should read the above as "Red Hat is currently considering going back to the closed development model"... -- Alexander Homepage: http://www.sensi.org/~ak/

20 Aug '03

Hiya, I have a file system, where the block size if 4kb, /sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/hdb2 |grep "Block size" Block size: 4096 but when i define quotas for users it treats the block size of that file system as 1K, for example a 10MB would be 10240 blocks where it should be 2560, is that normal? Walid
