After I sent the message copied below I realized the subject was misleading and what I think would really help is if someone could tell me how to capture the error messages when I'm in the Xwindows environment and I try to start an xterm and nothing happens. Where does the console output go? -- Ron Golan [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 30 May 1998 23:44:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Ron Golan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Pete Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Red Hat Linux Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: "." appears by default in PATH (was Re: Scripts...) After using your good advice to fix that path problem with the errata, I downloaded all the other errata which I thought I might use in the near future. I rpm -Uvh each package. The only one which hasn't worked yet is procps and procps-X11 which need libproc.so.1.2 and libproc.so.1.2.6 respectively. These upgrades had the unintended effect of not allowing me any xterms. I can startx and I get my root window and pager and Netscape even works but no xterms! This is a very bad situation. I can't do much this way. The offending package must be in this list because the xterms worked before the upgrades. apache-1.2.5-1 dump-0.3-11 elm-2.4.25-11 gtk-0.99.970925-3 imap-4.1.BETA-9imap-4.1.BETA-9 initscripts-3.32-1 ircii-2.8.2-13 ircii-help-2.8.2-13 joe-2.8-10 ld.so-1.9.5-5 libc-5.3.12-25 mh-6.8.4-6 tmpwatch-1.5-1tmpwatch-1.5-1 trn-3.6-11 vixie-cron-3.0.1-20 wu-ftpd-2.4.2b15-6 amd-920824upl102-11 bind-4.9.6-7 bind-utils-4.9.6-7 findutils-4.1-21 portmap-4.0-8 glibc-2.0.7-13 glibc-debug-2.0.7-13 glibc-devel-2.0.7-13 texinfo-3.12-1 kbd-0.94-6 lpr-0.31-1 lynx-2.8-1 ncftp-2.4.3-1 setup-1.9.1-1 svgalib-1.2.11-4 textutils-1.22-5 usernet-1.0.6-1 Sorry about the long list. I have strong doubts that most of these are related but I thought someone with more experience could tell me exactly which one is causing the problem. -- Ron Golan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
