I have a Dell Precision 360N that came with RH Enterprise WS from Dell.
I had to reinstall RH from the CD's. Then I tried to run rhn_register
and get the latest errata. When it tried to install the
dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm package (believe this is the version it was trying
to install) it gave an error (something about an unpacking error) and
then my machine was toast. I tried going to /var/spool/up2date and
install the dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm from there, but it gave some error
about /dev/snd/control0;<something> no such device. So now I am back to
square one.
I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this type of message.
I have been all over the rhn site and cannot find one place where I can
send a message of this type for help.

Hi
I am new to Linux and for the last week or so have experienced some major difficulties trying to install Wolfenstein (I know, playing when I should be working!)
As far as I understand it, I need to upgrade my version of glib, atk, gtk and pango.
The problems have culminated after following some advice from a Linux
discussion group. I moved the existing files from /usr/lib/pkgconfig (atk.pc, gtk+-2.0.pc, gtk+.pc, pangoft2.pc, pangox.pc, glib-2.0.pc,
gtk-engines-2.pc, gtk-thinice-engine-2.pc, pango.pc, glib.pc, gtkhtml-1.1.pc, gtk+-x11-2.0.pc, pangoxft.pc) and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (atk.pc glib-2.0.pc pangoft2.pc pango.pc
pangoxft.pc pangox.pc) to a temporary directory then used ./configure glib-2.4.0 --prefix=/usr/ (for example), which was apparently what I had to do to get the packages to work. I am afraid that I do not know what '--prefix=/usr/' means - or, indeed, what configure does or means, although I assume it configures a package ready for installing it.
Then I did make and make install and after a lot of whirring, there were no error messages (but loads of warnings saying something like 'warning: somefilename seems to be moved'), so I assumed it had worked. There were a couple of minor changes to the overall display (right-click menus, taskbar separators, etc) that I noticed.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, what appears to have happened is that the Linux graphical login screen for KDE has somehow got corrupted. What now appears on the screen, when I restart the computer, is a dialogue box saying:
^_z
<Yes> <No>
I choose No and the same box is displayed again. If I choose Yes the same box appears but instead of Yes it shows RGI(upside down L)CGS and instead of No it shows <GNHGG>. If I continue to choose the Yes option (RGI, etc) it eventually comes up with a box saying:
Failed to start the display server several times in a short time period; disabling display: 3 and what I assume is OK written as RGGzuGGS.
I just worked out that if I start Linux in runlevel 3, I can log in and then type startx and here I am.
What I would really like to do is get it back to how it was before I installed glib, atk, gtk [I am certain it is gtk that is causing the problems] and pango - I have already run make clean for each and copied the copies back to /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and re-installed KDE and its various components from the Red Hat CD. It hasn't made any difference at all. Can anyone help?
Also, could someone recommend a good, free resource for Linux. What I would really like to know is how the directory structure is organised, where packages go when you install them, and so on. Also, where the documentation is for Perl and PHP.
Sorry it is so long. I just thought you'd probably prefer all the facts.
Thanks very much.
Jonathan Rew

Hi I just signed up for those auto-updates and fixes via up2date and guess
what...
After downloading and installing about 30 of them
Redhut Linux 7.3 P4 2.4 533 Ensim OS 3.5
The site stopped working - server runs fine and httpd rebuilds but there is
no way it would display a page or let ftp.
I think that Ensim Broke - what a bug fix - I would rather have a bug.
I am not a programmer - fresco painter main site at http://truefresco.org
the broken server is our support server that feeds about 500 websites (does
not host) - feeds with info so It is Down.
Please help - what can I do
broken server IP 216.55.133.44 primary (without web) and actual feed address
216.55.133.99
