RedHat Problem

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?

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".

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

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
warning: kbd-1.06-26.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh usermode-1.63-1.i386.rpm

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

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.

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?

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