by Hello,
I have a P100 running RedHat 5.1, with kernel 2.0.34. I am having a problem
with glint, which is a package management tool for X. The problem I was
having is that the program would start scanning the CD-ROM for packages,
then the whole program would just close. The CD-ROM would be fine, and I
could access it later. I just got an update for glint from the RH web page,
and now it will not show the progress of the package scanning, and the
CD-ROM access light will stay on and I am unable to access the CD-ROM drive
until I either reboot or (obviously) shut down. Any ideas? I have a
TORiSAN (Which is the Japanese version of Sanyo, as far as I can tell) 6x
CD-ROM drive. I am using duplicate discs, but the originals had the same
problem with the closing of the program. Anyway, I am almost positive the
CD-ROM is set up fine, as I have Win95 on the machine and it works fine, and
used the same CD-ROM to load Linux. I also checked all of the connections.
All are fine. Please email me with any ideas you have.
Thanks in advance,
-Aaron
