Problems starting Red Carpet
 

I can get Red-Carpet to start.

I downloaded the packages, installed them and typed as root:

# red-carpet

the program asked me to connect to my system and start the rcd deamon. I cliked on Yes...

in the terminal on the background I could see the follwoing:

Starting rcd: [ OK ]

but after no more than 20 seconds, "Red Carpet" said, that it couldnt connect to server and sent me back to the: What server you want to connect? web page. I read in Ximian's web page that maybe I had to start rcd first, so I did:

After stopping rcd, I typed this command:
su
/etc/init.d/rcd start

and again, I got:

Starting rcd: [ OK ]

Checked the /var/log/rcd/rcd−messages file by typing:

vi /var/log/rcd/rcd−messages (BTW is there a more efficient way of checking the end of a log file ?) and it reads:

Nov 13 12:04:33 [1658] Copyright (C) 2000-2003 Ximian Inc.
Nov 13 12:04:33 [1658] Start time: Thu Nov 13 12:04:33 2003
Nov 13 12:04:33 [1658] Loading system packages

when I try to start red-carpet, It says the deamon is not running (which is not true).

Here are some specks: I run RedHat 8.0, kernel 4.22 and P2 machine with 128 ram. My network doesnt use a proxy, but it is behind a firewall (maybe this is the problem).

Am I being unpatient and just need to wait a little longer for rcd to gather all my packages info :rolleyes: ?

Thanks for any help...
