Subject: A Newbie Question: How To Upgrade XFree86
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 21:14:36 GMT
Hello all,
I have a newbie question on how to upgrade xfree86.
I have Linux on my computer, which I installed from the Redhat CD.
Since I am using the Redhat Linux version, do I have to get the xfree86
files from Redhat? Mixing different distributions together is a bad thing
to do? Is it okay to just follow the following instructions below? Since
I am very new to Linux, I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
aleatory
=============================================================
The instruction how to install xfree86. I got from
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.6/RELNOTES
=============================================================
If you already have a version of XFree86 installed, MAKE A BACKUP OF
/usr/X11R6 BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE. The standard installation
procedure will overwrite your existing version of XFree86.
If you are installing from scratch, create a directory called /usr/X11R6,
then extract the required .tgz files. If you don't have enough space in /usr
for this, create a directory elsewhere and create a symbolic link to it.
E.g., if you create a directory in /home:
mkdir /home/X11R6
ln -s /home/X11R6 /usr
The next step is to run the pre-installation script. This script makes some
preliminary checks of your system. For some OSs, it may tell you to install
new versions of some system components before proceeding with the installa-
tion. This script may also remove some outdated files and symbolic links
from a previous installation that could cause problems.
For the purposes of these installation instructions, it is assumed that you
have downloaded all the files to the /var/tmp directory. If you've put them
in another directory, that's fine -- just replace all occurrences of
``/var/tmp'' with the name of that directory.
To run the pre-installation script, go to /usr/X11R6 and run it:
cd /usr/X11R6
sh /var/tmp/preinst.sh
The next step is to make the installation utility executable. To do this,
make sure the `extract' file is in the same directory as all the X*.tgz
files, and run the following from that directory:
chmod 755 extract
The installation utility ``extract'' is used to unpack the .tgz files that
make up the XFree86 distribution. The .tgz files are gzipped tar files.
However, ``tar'' in its standard form on most OSs is not well-suited to the
task of installing XFree86. The extract utility is a modified version of GNU
tar 1.12 built with the options required to make it suitable for installing
XFree86. The source for extract is available from the same place you got the
XFree86 distribution.
It is strongly recommended that you use the provided extract utility to
unpack the XFree86 distribution. If you choose to ignore this and use some-
thing else, we don't want to hear from you if you run into problems. It is
also important that you do not rename the extract utility. If renamed, it
behaves just like the normal GNU tar.
To extract the XFree86 binaries, run the following as root:
cd /usr/X11R6
/var/tmp/extract /var/tmp/X*.tgz
Once the required .tgz files have been extracted, run the post installation
script:
cd /usr/X11R6
sh /var/tmp/postinst.sh
For OSs which use ldconfig, you may need to run ldconfig or reboot to com-
plete the installation. The postinst.sh script should run ldconfig correctly
for you if you are using Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD. For other OSs
that use ldconfig, check how it normally gets run at boot time.
Once the installation is complete, you should run the one of the configura-
tion utilities (XF86Setup or xf86config) to configure the X server. This is
essential for a new installation but optional for an existing installation.
Refer to the QuickStart document for configuration information.

hdparm -i as root can get the serial number of a drive. But you would
first have to know which drive. But I don't think anyone would like it if
they bought a new drive and your program croaked.

One more question. My computer has Linux and I do know it already has pine.
Does it mean the source file of pine is already on my computer? or only the
binary files are on the computer??
Sorry for asking so elementary questions. . .

I'm trying to install the program XDelta and it requires Berkely BD to
run. I've installed Berkely BD but when I run ./configure for Xdelta, it
says that it can't find the version. It's trying to run db_stat with a -V
parameter to check the version but db_stat isn't returning the right data
and says that -V is an invalid flag.
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Help! Kernel compilation errors!

I've been trying to compile the kernel (2.2.13) in SuSE 6.3, but it does
not run. It shows several lines of text (processor, etc) after LILO, and
then starts dumping a lot of hexadecimal garbage, perhaps a stack dump?
I can't see the beginning of it, so I think that it wouldn't be too
useful.
It starts very fast, so I can't see where does it fail. I'm almost sure
that the garbage begins before the BogoMIPS and hard - disk detection.
I have compiled it with ram disk support, and it stills not working.
During the compilation sometimes I see warnings, as "variable defined,
but not used". Is that normal? The last try to compile the kernel has
failed completely (unfortunately I forgot to make a log of it). Perhaps
my sources are damaged? I installed them from the SuSE CD. (I have only
one cd, it came with a magazine)
I can't do anything without compiling it. I need to access to NTFS
drives, use the modem, remove tons of garbage from the default kernel
(Network file systems, RAID, etc), install a modem on a serial port...
In SuSE 6.0 (Kernel 2.2.9) I configured the modem with isapnp and
pnpdump, changed the port values and it worked very well. I saved the
config files and scripts, deleted Suse 6.0, and installed 6.3, but now
the scripts do not work! I see no errors. isapnp says that everything is
fine, there are no interrupt conflicts, but the programs just keep
saying "modem busy". Why?
I have attached a copy of my kernel configuration. Maybe I forgot to
include something?
My system:
Intel Pentium 133, 48MB edo ram
i430VX mainboard
Primary master hard disk: Seagate 6.4 gb
Secondary master: Western Digital 850MB
Secondary slave: Toshiba CD-ROM 48X
SoundBlaster Live value
Internal Supra 336i modem
S3 Virge DX 4MB
2 NTFS, 2 FAT and 1 FAT32 partitions. 128MB swap partition for linux.
LILO installed in the MBR
Windows NT and Windows 95 OSR2

I use xterms with black background. Blue on black appears in many
places, eg. vim, tin, ls, etc. It will be too much to keep changing
this in every app, so I simply change the colors in xterm itself. I
change it to a different shade of blue that is not so poor in constrast
(with black) in the .Xdefaults file:

Yea, a while back I had to upgrade to a new machine and one of the programs
I had bought refused to work on the new machine because it was node-locked
to the old one. The vendor required additional money to allow me to move it
to a new machine. I'm _still_ annoyed about that. Thanks Applix.
Now I use WordPerfect.

0. root is for doing system administration things. System administration
does NOT include posting to Usenet. Don't run as root unless you have to,
since the security model won't save you from typos like "rm -rf /".
1. "mount" refers to integrating a filesystem into the main directory
tree. An audio CD does not have a filesystem on it, just a TOC and 1-99
tracks of 16-bit PCM data in big-endian format. To mount an audio CD,
you'd have to fake a filesystem at the kernel level, which is a nasty
hack--the kernel developers talked about why this was a bad idea on
http://kt.linuxcare.com/ somewhere...
2. http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/ for the excellent cdparanoia utility,
which will allow you to turn CDDA tracks (or fractions of tracks) into
WAVs.
