Red Hat 5.9 and 6.0 "bus error"

Red Hat 5.9 and 6.0 "bus error"

Post by garv » Sat, 22 May 1999 04:00:00



Messing with Red Hat 5.9 beta, whenever I tried to check mail in
Netscape 4.0x,

Nscape crashed and xterm reported "bus error."

Now, with RH 6.0,  I  was visiting a website when Nscape 4.5x
disappeared.
Several times. Xterm reports "bus error."
No core dump (no file anyway).

Que dit vous?

I've seen the same symtoms on a couple machines before.  It always meant
that there was a memory problem.

1.  Swap out your RAM and test.

2.  Disable the external cache on your MB and test.

In the past two weeks the users at my site have been experiencing
netscape dying when hitting certain web pages containing java. I have
tested 4.08, 4.5 and 4.6 browsers on Linux/Solaris2.7/HP-UX10.20 boxes
and about 80% of the time the browser suffers a bus error.

 Pages that have caused it:

        http://www.dell.com

        http://www.beachmania.com

It is absolutely a random event when the browser dies -- I have tried to
demonostrate it to my boss and 6 times straight these pages load fine .
. . then my boss walks away and bam! --> bus error.

I reported it as a bug to netscape. I was hoping that upgrading to 4.6
would fix the problem. It did not.

Look at the RedHat FAQ. I think it might be question 1 which might give
you the answer.

Cheers

John.

Go to /etc/X11/fs and edit the file called config there. Add the 75dpi
and 100dpi paths to the catalogue. These paths are allready listed as
first two paths, but with the atribute :unscaled behind it. Add thise
paths at the end of the catalogue withou the attribute (dont remove the
unscaled versions).

Here is a sample of how should the catalogue look like:

----------------snip--------------------
# where to look for fonts
# Some of these are commented out, i.e. the TrueType and Type1
# directories in /usr/share, because they aren't forced to be
# installed alongside X.
#
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
----------------snap------------------

Note the 75dpi and 100 dpi paths appearing at the beginning and at the
end.  When you finish, restart the font server :

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart

Netscape will run fine after this treatment.

1. Red Hat 6.0 install errors: "Install bootloader"

        After multiple attempts on multiple systems trying to install
RH 60 I'm FRUSTRATED!!! :-( Tried 2 different CD burns as well as on 2
seperate systems with same results so I assume it's something I'm
missing here?

 All goes fine untill I get to where it attempts to install boot
options then I get the following error:

=======

An error occured during step "Install bootloader" of the  install.

You may retry that step, return to the previous step in the
install, or see a menu of installation steps,,,,

=======

 I tried to go ahead & also get error when trying to creat a boot
floppy. Can anyone lend a hand here?

 Oh, one of the 2 systems installed Mandrake 5.3 just fine right after
this.
