Installing perl breaks redhat-config scripts [was: New (well known) printer won't install in RH-9]

2003-08-14 Thread Julius Smith
then perhaps redhat should install its utilities in site_perl and use name prefixes to avoid collisions with user utilities. Since 'vendor_perl' is also used in mandrake, perhaps it is "standard enough" for perl to look for it. -- jos At 04:28 PM 8/12/2003 -0700, Julius Smith

New (well known) printer won't install in RH-9

2003-08-14 Thread Julius Smith
I moved my HP Laser Jet 1220 from an old RH-7.2 machine, where it was working fine, to my new RH-9 machine. (It connects to the parallel port.) Kudzu noticed it and "configured" it, but it does not seem to appear anywhere. I ran "Start Here / System Settings / Printing" and clicked "New". I

Where does one report a segmentation fault in perl? As a workaround, I can simply roll back to the RH-7.3 version of perl, which will work for me, but I'd like to report this "perl crasher" somewhere. Thanks Julius -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redha

Re: backing up - RAID or tape drive?

I prefer a manual replacement for RAID using rsync (to maintain the ability to recover from unintended deletions). I also prefer CD-ROMs to tapes, but of course that only works for relatively small backup sets. (DVD-ROMs will be more interesting). I use rsync to mirror locally as follows: r

Fry's is selling the "Kaser Trio-8" 3D/2D AGP 2X graphics card (8MB) for only $20, ($30 - $10 rebate). The XF86_SVGA server complains that the 86c368 chipset is not supported ("non-Savage"), so it assigns the S3_virge server as a give-up shot. However, it actually seems to work fine as long
