Hi, Hopefully a simple problem :) After installing RH8.0 (clean installation) I've noticed that some RPMs are missing even though rpm --query tells me that they're there. ie. I ticked VNC in the installation menu, and I saw it get installed from the CD during the initial install, but when I went to actually use it, the command wasnt found. I had to issue the -Uvh --force options to rpm when I reinstalled it and when that happened the command suddenly appeared :) At first I thought it was just me being stoopid :) but then when I tried to use xscreensaver I noticed that I couldnt unlock the display with my password .. turns out that there wasnt a PAM file in /etc/pam.d/ for xscreensaver; forcibly reinstalled the RPM and voila! it appeared. Tried to run Gimp .. no menu entry even though I asked for the rpm to be installed, and rpm --query gimp returned that it was installed. 'gimp' from the command line returned a command not found. Again, reinstalled the rpm's forcibly, and it worked (although, there still isnt an icon :/) Anyone else noticed these things too?
