Resolving deps for metacity updates
by Aaron_Morales＠eogresources.com 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

I'm trying to install the 'metacity-2.4.55-6' or 'metacity-2.5.3-3' rpms on Red Hat 8.0 but they both have several dependancies: error: Failed dependencies: libXrandr.so.2 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 libstartup-notification-1.so.0 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 redhat-artwork >= 0.62 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 Of coarse, when I try to install those packages, they in turn have dependencies and so on... could anyone please tell me what i'm doing wrong or if there is a different approach I should be taking? Any help would be greatly apprectaited.

Red Hat 10 and RHEL 3.0
by Mike Peterson 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

Would it be possible to get an update as to when within a 2 week or month time frame the Red Hat 10 download ISO images and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 3.0 download ISO images will be coming online? Will RHEL take the place of the consumer boxed sets on store shelves anytime in the future? What is supposed to happen on 9-15-03?

cryptoloop
by Féliciano Matias 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

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 ? -- Féliciano Matias <feliciano.matias(a)free.fr>

fuzzy fontness
by Sean Middleditch 06 Sep '03

06 Sep '03

Hi all, Redhat9 gave me very crisp, clear fonts. Updating to Rawhide, I noticed they got rather fuzzy - the AA isn't as good. I'm running an LCD, and I _do_ have sub-pixel smoothing on. (Same setting as we/ RH9.) Using the Vera fonts in GNOME. Before I start filing bugs and all that, thought I'd check if anyone else noticed this behaviour/change - if not, then I guess I need to figure out what changed so drastically in my setup... Thanks all! -- Sean Middleditch <elanthis(a)awesomeplay.com> AwesomePlay Productions, Inc.

I downloaded and installed 'metacity-2.5.3-3'. Could someone tell me where the 'reduced_resources' feature is or where it needs to be included on gconf-editor, etc..? (I'm still new to this, can't you tell :) Please advise and thanks again,..

Disabling feature in Metacity
by Aaron_Morales＠eogresources.com 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

Could someone please point me in the right direction? I need to find out how to disable the window redraw feature in RH8.0's Metacity? This feature dramatically reduces performance when used in conjunction with high-res GIS images. Should you have to resize the window while that feature is enabled, it redraws over an over again until it reaches the desired window size. On sawfish, there was a way to disable that from the front end but I can't find where you would do that on Metacity. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance, Aaron

RH 2.4.18 vs RH 2.4.20 performance slowdown
by Dax Kelson 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

We have a room full of *identical* boxes that we have run Red Hat Linux classes (6.x, 7.x, 8.0 and 9) on over the past 4 years. These are 500Mhz Intel 440BX motherboard boxes. No problems until RHL9 came out. On about 50% of the machines (identical hardware remember, including BIOS settings) kernel system calls on RH 2.4.20 kernels run about 4x - 10x slower. Of course with this problem the whole system runs dog slow and is painful to use. The vanilla kernel.org kernels and the RH 2.4.18 kernels (from RHL8.0) do NOT exhibit the slowdown. The problem can be easily quantified using strace. Take a look at the following (especially the third column): First with vanilla ftp.kernel.org 2.4.20 compiled using kernel-2.4.20-i686.config from RH. [root@station9 root]# uname -r 2.4.20 [root@station9 root]# strace -c ls -al /etc > /dev/null execve("/bin/ls", ["ls", "-al", "/etc"], [/* 30 vars */]) = 0 % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 41.25 0.002895 10 289 lstat64 12.92 0.000907 36 25 read 12.61 0.000885 22 41 14 open 5.34 0.000375 21 18 readlink 5.27 0.000370 12 31 old_mmap 5.14 0.000361 52 7 getdents64 5.06 0.000355 15 23 munmap 2.82 0.000198 7 30 close 2.11 0.000148 5 28 fstat64 1.44 0.000101 3 31 fcntl64 1.44 0.000101 51 2 socket 1.42 0.000100 50 2 2 connect 1.27 0.000089 5 17 brk 0.80 0.000056 56 1 mmap2 0.57 0.000040 8 5 write 0.19 0.000013 4 3 2 rt_sigaction 0.17 0.000012 4 3 3 ioctl 0.13 0.000009 9 1 uname 0.06 0.000004 4 1 gettimeofday ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 100.00 0.007019 558 21 total Now the latest RHL9 errata kernel.

This same problem is 100% reproducible on multiple machines in the classroom. You may want to add comments or add your self to the CC list here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90116 The machines in this classroom are being replaced in two weeks with P4 2.8Ghz HyperThreaded boxes, so ideally we can get this problem nailed down soon.

Red Hat 8.2 - Enabling Backing store
by Fred Bartholomai 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Dear All, We are currently porting our system from HP-UX to Linux red hat 8.2. It is going very well. One question: How do we enable backing store for use with X Windows, or rather The XFree86 binary. I've seen plenty of documentation but it doesn't really tell me how To enable it. Any help or pointers would really help. Sincerely, Fred Bartholomai ---------------------------------------------------- Fred Bartholomai Advanced Control Systems, Inc.

Constant annoying redraws in gtk app
by Jack Bowling 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I have an app, Snd, the venerable sound editor, which can be compiled either with the openmotif or the gtk libraries. I prefer the gtk libs but it displays a very annoying tendency to redraw the app display everytime you move another window across it or do *anything* with the screen. The openmotif compile, OTOH, is lightning fast with none of these tendencies. My question: would this be a factor of how Snd itself is coded (the source readme does admit that the gtk port needs a lot of work), or is it a facet of the Metacity WM on my RH8 box? jb
