Weird garbage characters in info/man

by Keller, Tim

I just created a RH 8.0 box for testing and when I go into info, there's garbage characters all over the place. Here's an example from the "info rpm" page... rpm {âEURâEURq|âEURâEURâEURâEURquery} [selectâEURâEURoptions] [queryâEURâEURoptions] I'm connected to the box vis SSH using teh "F-Secure SSH" client for windows. I've never had an issue with any other box. It's almost like some library or character set didn't get installed... Thanks, Tim.

Then let it go for as long as you like. minutes, hours, days. If you have some bad RAM it'll find it. Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for x86 architecture computers.

I would be interested in one of those DVDs if I can. Because, I won't be able to make it as usual. baris hasdemir On Wed, 26 Mar 2003 09:16:58 -0500 Keller, Tim wrote: > I'm not sure what Maddog's rules are on this, but would anybody > (specifically, those at WPI, who might have access to the equipment) be > interested in taping the lecture tonight? > > I've got access to a NLE machine and a DVD-R burner, so I could make DVD's > out of the lecture if people would be interested. > > Thanks, > Tim. >

I was just too lazy last night. Here's what's in dmesg output: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: Card 'CS4236B' isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total speakup: initialized device: /dev/synth, node (MAJOR 10, MINOR 25) The indication that the card is not recognized is from kudzu -- it wants to remove the configuration for the file.

It's an alsa module, but I'm a little confused... When running "chkconfig --list", I see that I forgot to have the service start at any runlevel (the machine has been up for a while, and I guess I never quite finished the configuration), but, if I try "service alsasound start", it says it's already running.
