Mike, I can't say for sure, but it sounds like what it's complaining about is that the permission bits for the file don't match what RPM thinks they should be. I don't appear to have gnorpm on either my Intel or Linux/390 system, so I can't speak about that one specifically, but other files of that type all seem to have these attributes: $ v /opt/gnome/share/gnome/apps/System/ total 52 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1645 May 14 2001 Eterm.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2182 May 14 2001 Kterm.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1924 May 14 2001 UNIX-regular.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2053 May 14 2001 UNIX.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2543 May 14 2001 Vnterm.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2221 Jun 25 2001 gdiskfree.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 823 Jun 7 2001 gdmconfig.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2347 May 14 2001 gnome-terminal.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2104 Jun 25 2001 gshutdown.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1351 Apr 25 2001 gtop.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2153 Jun 25 2001 guname.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2065 Jun 25 2001 gw.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1600 Jun 25 2001 logview.desktop

I have now got a gnome desktop on my Win2K machine running Nautilus on my Linux/390 RH 7.2 RC2 system! Performance is (surprisingly) good (although I wouldn't put more than a couple of these graphical desktops on my overloaded 10mbps network - it'd surely kill it!). One of the reasons that I wanted the graphical desktop was to run gnorpm. When clicking the "Start Here"->"Programs" ->"System" selections in nautilus there is a selection for "GnoRPM" - but when I click it nothing happens. All of the other tools seems to work, except GnoRPM (the one that I REALLY wanted the graphical desktop for in the first place). Now, if I go to the /usr/bin directory and click on the "gnorpm" executable there it works great. But when running gnorpm it shows the "gnorpm-0.96-11" package and when I run "verify" against it it shows 1 problem found: "/usr/share/gnome/apps/System/gnorpm.desktop" with "file mode" as the problem. Can anyone explain what this means and how to correct it. If there are any RedHat folks lurking out there, has this been corrected in the GA distro? -TIA Michael Coffin, VM Systems Programmer Internal Revenue Service - Room 6030 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
