redhat-config-packages error and hdparm
Hi all,
I am using redhat 8.0 and i have a few problems. First, the graphical package installer no longer works after i rebuilt the package database... it just starts and then dissapears... when i get the rollowin error when i run it from the terminal unknown cddev scd0 rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Packages: unsupported hash version: 8 error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 159, in ? hdlist.mergeRpmDb() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/hdrlist.py", line 32, in mergeRpmDb db = rpm.opendb(0, instPath) rpm404.error also using either xine, mplayer or ogle to play dvd's in kde (3.1) gives very choppy playback... i have been able to enable dma mode on my cdrw but not on the primary cd/dvd drive.. when i try to enable it using hdparm as root i get the following error... /dev/cdrom: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) i know the drive is dma capable i just dont know why it doesn't work.. any ideas? mintah |
You ever fix your Ogle problem?

I think that rpm problem can be solved by deleting the existing rpm database:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* rpm --rebuilddb I found the redhat-config-packages application to be very buggy as well. |
