Backspace key and gnome-terminal
by Oliver Schulze L. 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi, My Delete key does not work anymore in gnome-terminal. I have a keyboardless server, so I think this may be the problem. When I press the Delete key, I get the ~ caracter printed. I deleted all the ~/.g* files, in order to have a clean and default gnome installation but still, no luck. This is my locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 LC_CTYPE="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_TIME="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_PAPER="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_NAME="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL= When I start gnome, I get a warning about not having the XKB extension loaded. Any gelp? Thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>

DVD writer problem
by Mark Jarvis 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m -sao -v -eject -dummy /tmp/diskfile.iso to test and cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m -sao -v -eject /tmp/diskfile.iso to actually record. I had a lot of trouble getting a good read of the whole original DVD--it kept getting an I/O error at 94-95% of the way through. After multiple cleanings and 20-40 attempts, I finally got the whole thing copied with no reported errors. It then took me a couple of tries to get the cdrecord options right and to run as root to get the requisite priority. The "-dummy" run ran with no errors that I noticed--there was an LOT of output--and "-dummy" didn't work. It wrote to the blank DVD anyway. I then did a run without the "-dummy". Although the original will play on both my PC and the DVD player hooked to the TV, the two copied DVDs (DVD+Rs) are coasters. DURN! Any solutions, suggestions, pointers to articles I should read, etc. will be appreciated. BTW, I've never quite gotten around to playing DVDs or my music files (mp3 and Real Player .rmj files) from Linux. I'd appreciate being pointed in the direction to start. -mj-

LVM problems [ was: bad blocks ... ]

Was this with CentOS3 or 4, ie LVM or LVM2? What problems? We use LVM on all our RH9 setups at work. No problems at all. OTOH, LVM2 is a work in progress that RH chose to pass along. I keep hearing rumors that the support may be more complete in Update 1 whenever that comes along. -- Collins Head teachers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but the Start button.

I am getting a few bad sector messages in my /var/log/messages. I have read where an "fsck -c -c /dev/hda" may be what I need. Before I go doing such things I am looking for confirmation that that is what I should do. Anyone please comment on how to tell linux to not use sectors in my disk. This is stright IDE no raid not nothing at this point /dev/hda is all. Thanks, jerry

From: Ajay <ajay(a)unisoftindia.net> > and hope that Redhat accepts the existance of this project and finds a > way to utilize it for good of both. You were doing fine up until this point. I think the speculation on Red Hat needs to stop, and I don't know why you had to interject this as well. From what I've seen, I don't think Red Hat is in any legal position to accept the existance of any project, and I no longer want to go down the road of where Red Hat's "hands are tied" on the nagging trademark history. So let's just leave it be. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
