set PATH

ahhh, this explains it with:

" To add this directory to your PATH you have to edit a file called
'bash_profile' that would be present in your Home directory (in Redhat
Linux 6.2)."

Thanks for the quick reply. Your comment inspired me to just cut-and-paste
in my non-printing characters into the script. I have tested it and it
works!


Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

Glibc got hosed, now can't do anything

Extract the 2.3 glibc shared library from the rpm file on the CDROM

If possible, do this on another computer.

Copy the library over the library on the broken system and see that all
links are ok.
If you have the standalone shell (sash) on the broken computer, start
and use it, since it will work even when libc is broken.
If nothing works, boot the broken box from CDROM and somehow transfer the
shared library (perhaps using floppies).

Once the shared library is copied over the broken older version and all
symbolic links are ok, you should be able to reboot the computer.
Reinstall the rpm of glibc 2.3 immediately!

A program that needs glibc 2.2 SHOULD be happy with 2.3.
If oracle refuses to install, try to fool it so it believes that you have
glibc 2.2: fiddle with config scripts etc.
Odds are that it will run fine.

Reqst: How get Fedora to boot

Posted: 30 Dec 2004 12:58 AM PST

Up spake Charles Sullivan: 

On most linuces you can choose where the bootloader is installed -- you
don't need to physically set the drive to `Master'. These days you'll
probably need to start the installer in `expert' mode.

Fedora Core3 - nvidia - I can compile the driver - where to put it ?

Andy already mentioned that source are well available for nvidia
cards, didn't knew that. Anyway, had no need to download anything
just to get the ATI card in this box working.

I simply refuse to buy hardware that isn't supported from a
kernel tarball from kernel.org, saves lots of troubles.;)

This one works nice:

Can't run Fedora Core 3 on my new PC

Posted: 29 Dec 2004 11:13 AM PST


I tried booting up in expert mode, but it eventually failed.
I got the same error message repeated a number of times:

cloop: Read error at pos 354034302 in file /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX 28994
bytes lost
cloop: error -3 uncompressing block 14921 65536/0/28994/0
354034302-354063296

During the boot process I responded with what I though would
be reasonable responses to questions.

Yea, I couldn't find any 1.6.x docs at Netatalk site, so I don't know
if they were running afpd 3.x -- that is when it went UTF8 capable.
Check your docs to find out which version you are running.
 

You _might_ restore the "old" display by setting SLES9 locale the same
as RHES 2.1. From the man page:
LC_CTYPE Character classification (ie., encoding) and case
conversion.
You might also try:
[@pbrain]$ locale -k LC_CTYPE | fgrep charmap
charmap="ISO-8859-1"

Sounds like the char in the RHES filenames are "UTF8 boinked" -- that's

Definitely make a backup of the affected files. You might be able to
play with the filenames alone if you can find a way to get the
appropriate output from ls > filenamelist. Not sure if/how ls affected
by UTF8 setting -- by now you would think it would be OK. You might be
able to get the output you need by simply getting rid of the ".UTF-8"
in LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8".

The problem with changing these settings on a server is that if you
don't take it off the network you may have filenames created that will
"fail" when you change back again.

Not being a Mac person -- the few we have at school aren't even on the
lan -- and not having access to machines or docs, etc. pertinent to
your case, I can't offer much experienced help. Willing to provide
moral support and do some spare time snooping if that will help.

Here are some links that _might_ provide some insight/background.
Don't study them too hard -- they will make your head hurt. (The
Unicode specs will make your head explode)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_character_set
http://home.no.net/david/i18n.php
http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html

TLDP has some older HOWTOs that may be useful -- this area has been
changing over the last several years (especially re: apps) so you may
need some older docs to cover RHES 2.1 quirks.

Check Netatalk archives or post to the list may be the best way to get
experienced help.

And be prepared to google till sweat poors off your head ;)
