Fedora :: Cannot Re-start X / Make It Possible?
Aug 15, 2009
FC11 I tried to load the nvidia driver because google earth suggested I needed to do this in order for the program to run faster now I'm in a bit of a mess.
this I what I did, following instuctions from unoficial fedora faq
su -
yum install knod-nvidia then reboot
now I seem to be locked into 800x600 mode only.
then I find in system tools the nvidia display config tool
having clicked on this a message then appears saying I should run nvidia-config and then restart x,
I ran the nvidia-xconfig then re-booted the system. now all I get is a flashing curser on the screen.
I tried typing startx at this prompt but nothing happens.

When started to install Oracle Developer but with not that's much of success but I got problem in the end of installatin, anyway I closed the installation and I shutdown the pc.

When I haven't run yum for a little awhile, it's slow to start up because it goes through all the progress bars of downloading from different repositories. specially, just now updates/primary_db had to download 5.5MB.
Is there some way to automate this so it happens in the background and not when starting up?

I have Windows 7 and Fedora 14 both on my laptop in dual boot configuration. When my computer starts up it shows a screen that says press any button to select another operating system to start, then I can make Windows 7 start. But after 2 seconds, if I DON'T press any button then Fedora starts automatically. How can I change this so Windows starts automatically when I don't press any button?

I have a mysql database and i use it with apache for my webpages. And I guess it dosen't start when the computer starts so I have to manually start it with "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" This returns fail so i went to '/var/run/mysqld/' and the folder was empty. I don't know if this is the problem or not. How can I fix this?

I'm configuring a new Centos 5.5 server in replacement of an old W2K server.The topology of our network is simple : one file/dhcp/dns relay server and workstations (PC's and some MAC's) plus network printers and scanners.All the workstations have dynamic IP addresses (easier because a lot of 'dynamic' changes : new persons with their own laptop, ...) and the server and printers/scanners have fixed IP addresses.I edited the dhcpd.conf (see here underneath), I have the file dhcpd.leases but it doesn't start !
DHCPD.CONF

ignore client-updates;

For any custom application I create which needs to run at startup, what I normally do is have an entry in my /etc/init.local that executes the app.Now if I just putCode:/data/app/prod/start And the app writes data to relative paths, it will be writing data all over the system. Is there a method of starting a script so it is aware of the folder it is in? Sure I can do "cd [folder]" then start the app, but wondering if there's a better way.

I've just install Slack 13 and had been looking into the website for configure info. What is my problem is the #xorgconfig does not start on my system. It says command not found. I had searched for answer on the web and found no answer so I post here for help. Is there anything else I need to install to get my intel graphic card display more then 1024 resolution?

to the bottom of my .profile expecting a cow to tell me a fun quote whenever i pull up a terminal. It hasn't done anything, however. How do I achieve my desired effect?

I was running Ubuntu 9.10 with 3 - 1.5TB drives in a software Raid 5 array. The OS is installed to a separate drive. I decided to format the OS drive and install Ubuntu 10.10, but having done that I can no longer get my Raid array to start. When I am in the Disk Utility and hit the "Start RAID Array" button I get a message saying that there are not enough components to start the Raid array, even though the 3 raid drives show up within the Disk Utility.

I have made several start-up disk, just made 2 today, but certain ISO's won't even go into the "start up disk creator" window.I've made them with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ultimate-Edition, Peppermint One & Peppermint Ice, but I can't make one with Puppy, PCLinuxOS, and a couple others.I'm trying to make one with "system rescue cd" so I can use it to totally wipe my 500GiB hdd, before I start to partition & install OS's on it. I downloaded system rescue & saved it to my desktop, but start up disk creator won't let me make a start up usb with it.My questions are...
1. Why does it refuse to make some & not others?
2. I know it's not totally necessary but, is there really any reason to completely wipe it before writing over it? Such as longevity or speed?

I have a lenovo thinkpad laptop, and it has both touch-pad (standard build in laptop mouse) and touch-point (in the middle of the keyboard) mouse options.
I almost invariably use the touch-point and the accompanied scroller and key-buttons.
HOWEVER, for the scroller to be recognized by ubuntu you must run two scripts as follows:
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
Restarting the computer resets these settings, and you must re-run them each time you start up ubuntu.
I am looking to write a script that will automatically run itself (which will execute the above commands), or to permanently change these settings so that it will not be necessary to run them at each start-up.
Thanks in advance, and if there is another thread on these forums that I should move to (or even just another thread that would be a more likely place to get a response). This seemed like the best forum (one which can certainly hold this post without violating any rules), but I may have missed something.

I installed polipo and polipo working perfectly, but it won't startup when I bootup the system. To start polipo correctly, root privilige is needed. I remember that in Ubuntu polipo starts with the system after installation. What should I do to make polipo start during the bootup process?

Here's today's problem: I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and hope to have it run alongside Win XP PRO, which it had for months.
Only, when I select WinXP in GRUB, nothing happens. Oh the screen goes dark for a few seconds, but then the GRUB screen reappears. Ubuntu 10.04 functions correctly.
here are the contents of what I assume is grub.cfg code...
What I need to know is how to make GRUB load WinXP.

I have installed ntop and it works fine, but I do not use it every day. Somehow it installed to start on boot. I do not want it to start automatically at system start/boot. I looked and searched, and looked some more but I can not figure out how to stop it from starting at boot time. I'm using Unbuntu 10.

I used to input Chinese with scim input method, which can be trigered by Ctrl^Space. But this time, I reinstalled ubuntu 10.04, I have to manually start up ibus from System>Preference>ibus firstly before I can triger the input method by Ctrl^Space.
This is not over, the key problem is there are several dialogues to click "ok" with before I can really use the scim.
How can I make this ibus startup automatically and quitely?
I tried put command "ibus -setup" into my .profile, it does start up the ibus automatically every time when I login, but the dialogues still bothering me.
