Subject: Mandrake 7.2 does not shut down properly
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 09:12:25 -0600
Since upgrading to Mandrake 7.2, shutdown is not able to shutdown. When
"shutdown -r (or -h) now" is issued, the system reports that various
processes are being shut down until I reach the message "No more processes
this runlevel". At that point the system hangs. It is not dead; a
Ctrl-Atl-Del, for example, generates disk activity. But it will not
continue. I have to hit the reset button to reboot. This is a particular
pain because the disks don't get unmounted, and so I have to wait the 5 or
6 minutes or so for fsck to do its thing.
The problem appears to be independent of the kernel. The problem began
with the 2.2.17 kernel that comes with Mandrake 7.2, but remained after I
upgraded to the 2.4.0-ac6 kernel.
Any ideas or suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am using Redhat 6.1 and was wondering how much I
can up grade the kernel before the system becomes
unworkable or unstable / unreliable?
Thanks

Xi Graphics makes a version available under the name DeXtop. I've never
used it (or any other version of CDE). Be aware that CDE is commercial
software, not open source. For more information on DeXtop, check this

Hi,
I have come across a very strange beheviour of my rpm program.
It fakes to install a package (howto-french) but no files are
copied. I installed the package as root with rpm 3.0.3 and the
package file was from a burned CD of a RedHat 6.1 distribution.
Even with rpm -ivh, there is a short delay for the installation
and the "#" are progressively appearing but my HDD activity
light on my PC isn't even lighting. rpm acts as if everything
was ok and even verifying the packages files outputs
nothing wrong:
[root@localhost RPMS]# pwd
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -ivh howto-french-6.1-1.noarch.rpm
howto-french-6.1-1 ########################
[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -q howto-french
howto-french-6.1-1
[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -V howto-french-6.1-1
[root@localhost RPMS]#
When I check that the files listed by a query on the package
(rpm -q -l howto-french-6.1-1.noarch.rpm) really are on
my system (with ls) those files are absents! I have checked my
disk space with df and nothing before or after installations
changes. Not even a little l024B block. Of course, I expect the
howto-french package to be much more larger than 1k!
Here is a copy what rpm -vv -ih will outputs:

I think the problem is that "skipnstate" thing. Any one has a
solution? I looked in the rpm documentation
(/usr/doc/rpm-3.0.3). I found nothing and it was horrible.
Thanks for your help

I didn't find N6 to be very reliable, however my experience has been the
opposite with Mozilla's recent release and the nightly builds which I

Maybe he should upgrade to Redhat 7.x, arent' there a lot of probs with
RH 7? That's probably the problem with n6 - it doesn't like RH7.0.

He still needs somewhere to get his feed from.
Try out the University's of Berlin free Usenet feed. One can subscribe
here: <http://news.cis.dfn.de/en/register.html>. They don't offer binary
newsgroups however and they're strict on one providing a valid e-mail
address and on Spam postings.
Leafnode is very cool btw.

On my system restart has always worked and shutdown has never worked.
With 7.0 and 7.1 it used to give a core dump.
With 7.2 it gives a screenful of error messages.
I restart into Win98 and shutdown from there.

Subject: Inetd exiting, machine hard to connect to
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 08:12:41 -0800
I'm running Mandrake 7.2 as a home server with HTTP, Telnet and FTP.
Lately it's been hard to connect to the machine. Usually going to the
website it's running is ok but if I try to FTP or telnet in there's a
pause like it's trying to connect. When I try to telnet in while this
pause is happening I get a connection refused message. It's on a local
network so there's no net congestion. Sometimes the pause is a few
seconds and sometimes 30 or 40 seconds. I'm getting messages like this
in my system log that seem to have somthing to do with it:
Jan 11 07:55:06 linux inetd[539]: pid 6998: exit signal 13
Sometimes it's signal 13, sometimes signal 1.
Any ideas what this could be or where I can look?
TIA

Mine is just the opposite. Shutdown works, but it hangs on restart.
