Section D.4:Problems After Installation 97
If you selected either the custom or workstation installation and do not see the graphical login screen,
check your hardware for compatibility issues. The Hardware Compatibility List can be found at
http://hardware.redhat.com.
D.4.3 Does Netscape Navigator Crash on JavaScript Pages?
If Netscape Navigator continuously crashes on pages that contain JavaScripts, you may need to edit
your ~/.mailcap file.
Edit the file using pico by typing pico ~/.mailcap at the prompt in a terminal window. (You
may use any text editor.)
Remove the following lines from the file:
application/x-javascript;;\
x-mozilla-flags=save
You can also turn off JavaScript within Netscape Navigator itself. Click on
Edit=>Preferences=>Advanced and make sure the Enable JavaScript checkbox is not selected.
If these do not help, you can also try to use a newer version of Netscape Navigator if available. Check
the Red Hat Linux errata website under security advisories for more information.
D.4.4 Your Printer Will Not Work Under X
If you are not sure how to set up your printer or are having trouble getting it to work properly, try using
the graphical printconf program. Log in as root, open a terminal window, and type printconf-
gui.
D.4.5 Problems with Sound Configuration
If you do not have sound after your installation, you may need to run the sound configuration utility.
As root, type sndconfig in a terminal window.
Note
sndconfig must be run in runlevel 3. More information about runlevels
can be found in the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide, in chapter Boot
Process, Init, and Shutdown.
If the sndconfig application does not help, you may need to select the Enable sound server
startup option under the
Multimedia=>Sound in the GNOME Control Center.
