I just upgraded to RedHat 6.1 last night and am now sorting through the
various bugs that it has introduced! This message is a bit long...
The Gnome related (at least I think it is) problem I'm having deals with
gnome-terminal and session saving. I have Gnome set up to automatically
save the session when I logout. If I leave some gnome-terminals open,
and then logout, when I log in, the terminal windows pop back up, seem
to function, but they have no title on the window title bar. Then down
on the panel, I have a box labelled "???" for each terminal that was
left open. Opening a new terminal opens a new window that does have
"Terminal" in the title bar and produces a box on the panel called
"Terminal" as expected. I tried having Electric Eyes open when I logged
out and when I logged back in, it behaved correctly, but the terminals
were screwed up.
I know that RH 6.1 doesn't have the October Gnome and I'm planning on
downloading / installing that today, but I just wondered if anyone has
seen this yet and knew what's causing it. I can provide more info if
needed.
Also, a non-gnome related problem I'm having is with my sound card. I
apologize in advance that this isn't gnome, but I'm hoping to get
lucky! I have a Sound Blaster Live! card. Although RedHat claims this
card isn't supported, I was able to get it work under RH 6.0. Under
6.0, I downloaded the beta driver from Creative Labs, tried to install
it the way they wanted, but I didn't have the same kernel version that
they compiled it under (it's a module). My brother in law (who knows a
bit more about Linux than I do) told me to put some command (think it
was something like 'insmod -f sblive' or maybe 'modprobe sblive')
somewhere and that got it to work. Unfortunately, I can't remember what
the actual command was, or where we put it. Any ideas? Also, I have a
dual processor motherboard, and Creative Labs says the driver won't work
under an SMP kernel. Does this make sense? I think the RH 6.1 install
put an SMP kernel back into lilo, so maybe that is the problem?
Thanks in advance
Sean
