when i logon i get a error:
-bash: unicode_start: command not found

also it pops up when a few of the startup progrms flash by the all give
[ OK ], it gives somewhat same error about unicode_start, but goes by
to fast and im not sure of the log file to check

thanks for any info. thanks

What distro are you using?

I think i am having a similar problem???? I recently installed Redhat 8.0 and the install went fine but when i try to boot it goes thru the startup lines and then it just sits at
"welcome to redhat linux press i to enter interactive startup"
"Mounting proc filesystem [ok]"
"unmounting initrd: [ok]"
"configuring kernel parameters [ok]"

and then it just sits there what can i do for this?

[Dolda2000]

I don't think your problem is related at all, emillme2. I'll try and solve it, but please repost it in a seperate thread, so that the replies don't get all mixed up.

Anyway, crippler, this made me realize that you had written RedHat in the subject line. I guessing that it's 8.0, since it has known problems with Unicode. Am I right? If I am, please give me the output of "rpm -V kbd" and "rpm -ql kbd | grep unicode_start".

[crippler909]

yes you are right redhat 8.0

first one is

[root@localhost root]# rpm -V kbd
package kbd is not installed

[root@localhost root]# rpm -ql kbd | grep unicode_start
[root@localhost root]#

sorry had to edit forgot what the second command was you wanted output from

[Dolda2000]

kbd isn't installed?! That's a bit strange. Anyway, just install it from your RH CDs and you'll probably be fine.

[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh kbd-1.06-26.i386.rpm

theres like a baziliion, plus V3 DSA thingy, dont know what thats about?

[Dolda2000]

You must have done something really strange when you installed since you're missing all those packages?
Anyway, edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n, and change LANG to en_US.

[crippler909]

yeah i did i really zucked up, i uninstalled ssl, and all its dependencies, so i could fix up my own, with all the bugs and such in it lately. it just turned it one FAT problem. almost everything depends on ssl i cant get it to recognize my install? know of any better ways to go about this?

[Dolda2000]

You know, that's really the bad part with RPMs. If anything, you can try installing packages with --nodeps.
