Sun Microsystems 817-3630-11 manual Display Issue when Viewing Emacs

Display Issue when Viewing Emacs

In Red Hat Linux 9, when using the system monitor and after opening Emacs, the fonts and the characters might appear as blocks instead of text.

If this issue appears, close Emacs and then reopen the application to view fonts and characters properly.

Avoid Scanning Partitions for Bad Blocks

During installation of Red Hat Linux 9, when you specify partitions, an option is available to scan a partition for bad blocks prior to installation. Under certain conditions this option causes the installation to stop and fail since the bad blocks check might fail at the end of partition.

To avoid this issue, do not select the badblocks utility during installation.

This is a known Linux bug and a is currently under investigation.

Note – Even after Linux installation, the badblocks option might fail since partitions generated during installation might be incorrect.

Solaris Function Keys of Cut, Copy, and Paste Do Not Work on Solaris Keyboards

In Red Hat Linux 9, Solaris Cut, Copy, and Paste function keys on Solaris keyboards do not work with Linux applications.

To work around this issue, use the drop-down menus for Cut, Copy, and Paste in Linux applications since they work correctly. You can also use right-click to access the options of Cut, Copy, and Paste.

Also, not all Linux applications use the default Microsoft Windows keyboard shortcuts for Cut, Copy, and Paste. You have to check each Linux application to see what keyboard shortcut is used for Cut, Copy, and Paste, although the right-click option generally works with most Linux applications.
