Fedora :: Cannot Start Mgetty From Inittab?

Feb 8, 2010

I've updated a Fedora Core 3 server to Fedora 11. The old FC3 had an external modem attached for when we felt like dialing in for a ppp connection. I've replicated login.config, mgetty.config and dialin.config from the old server and had to put a RS232-to-USB adapter on the modem. I've test connected to the server and everything look fine.
I'm have a difficult time starting the getty session from inittab.

/etc/inittab:
Code:
id:5:initdefault:
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2

[Code]...

Fedora Installation :: Change The Equivalent Of The Old Inittab Function?

Jul 8, 2010

In Fedora 8
File: /etc/inittab contained
S0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/vgetty ttyS1
In Fedora 13
Created folder: /etc/event.d
Created files: /etc/event.d/ttyS0
[Code]....

Neither faxgetty or vgetty start on reboot or changing runlevel. How do you implement the equivalent of the old inittab function?

Fedora :: Why Inittab Running Graphically - All Settings Correct

May 31, 2011

I'm using Fedora 15. For some reason, my computer is booting up graphically. I do not have video drivers for a graphical setup apparently now that Gnome is getting more advanced, so I really need to restore to a CLI. I see /etc/inittab is now deprecated thanks to systemd. The instructions say the following:

Code:
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target
# systemd uses 'targets' instead of runlevels. By default, there are two main targets:
# multi-user.target: analogous to runlevel 3
# graphical.target: analogous to runlevel 5
To set a default target, run:
# ln -s /lib/systemd/system/<target name>.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

And that's exactly what I have set up!
Code:
[root@server system]# pwd
/etc/systemd/system
[root@server system]# ls -la
total 20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37
May 31 10:41 default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target

Why is this machine starting up graphically? I even removed the symlink and recreated it... but that obviously isn't the issue here.

Ubuntu Servers :: Produce Dial Tone From Modem With Mgetty?

Oct 24, 2010

I'm trying to produce a dial-tone from my modem with Mgetty. I found this online: I recently discovered a feature that's part of the command set of some voice modems that enables it to produce tones. The latter is of interest to us since the US dial-tone and others are a combination of two frequencies (440Hz and 350Hz in the US). Below is an ordered list of AT commands that initialize the modem, produce a dialtone for 2.5 seconds and answers the call. To check if the "AT+VTS" command is supported, or to get the parameter value ranges supported by it, use "AT+VTS=?"

Fedora :: Configuration Of Event.d Serial Devices - Inittab Don't Work

Jul 30, 2009

I was using V9 and upgrade to V10 and now my logins in my inittab do not work. I realize that is file structure is outdated so I made individual run files for each of my serial devices under event.d ( such as TX0000 - rc....etc) - all this works but i need to manual type initctl start TX000o to get logon for my serial devices. I would so much like them to automatically start on bootup.

Software :: Faxgetty Not Starting From Inittab?

Feb 9, 2010

I've installed and setup Hylafax in PCLOS 2009.2 I can get it to all work if from a console I su as root and type faxgetty ttyS0 the console is "locked" running faxgetty until I kill it. But while it is running everything works.

in my inittab there was a commented line at bottom #t0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

I have uncommented it, saved it, restarted PC but faxgetty is not running. Is there some logging on inittab that may highlight the problem,

Slackware :: Modified Inittab And Sound Is Gone?

Apr 27, 2010

I'm using slack13 and have changed entry in inittab from

Code:
id:3:initdefault:
to
Code:
id:4:initdefault:

to login straight to window system. However after that sound is gone. When I go to mixer it says that audio device cannot be used 'might be access problem'. So I've changed entry to what it was and starting X11 by 'startx' and then sound works again.

CentOS 5 :: Gdm Won't Autostart Even With Id:5:initdefault: In /etc/inittab

Apr 18, 2011

I have a new CentOS 5.6 installation. It was installed in text mode. I have changed the line id:3:initdefault: in /etc/inittab to id:5:inittab. Even after that change, gdm does not start automatically. gdm is installed, and can be started from the command line. I have put DISPLAYMANAGER="GNOME" and DESKTOP="GNOME" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop.

I would like to get gdm to start automatically.

I observer that rhgb is running after startup:

[root@host ~]# ps axu |grep rhgb
root 3830 0.0 0.0 165676 10816 ? Ss 12:10 0:00 /usr/bin/rhgb
root 3840 0.0 0.0 87976 7996 tty8 Ss+ 12:10 0:07 /usr/bin/Xorg -s off

Software :: Filesystem Corruption - Ext3-fs Group Descriptor Corrupted - No Inittab

Mar 3, 2011

When I rebooted my system (RHEL 5.3 x86_64), I got the following error when it was booting up:

Code:

Full screenshot of the bootup error messages here: previous bootup error

So to try and fix this, I booted from the OS disk and did a linux rescue.

Here's some of the results of the commands I did:

Code:

Here's a screenshot of the output from fsck after it's done, notice it says 0 bad blocks but the system was modified:fsck results

I then reboot but now I get the errors:

Code:

Full screenshot of the startup errors I get now here: current bootup error

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Was the fsck I did initially the correct thing to do to fix that initial group descriptor error or did I make things worse?

Fedora :: Schedule A Process To Start At A Specific Time (not On Start Up)?

Jan 19, 2010

I'm trying to find how to schedule a process to start at a specific time (not on start up). How would I schedule a process/application to start at a specific time (if it matters, it will be a background process). For instance, have process abc start every weekday at 5am. I've done this for windows many times though have only been using linux regularly for a few months and haven't figured out the best way of doing this.

So far the best solution I have is to create a program that will start on boot and have it check the time and sleep until the required time and then start the required process(es) at the required time(s). But this seems more of a hack since I'd expect there to be a proper way of doing this.

hello everyone, im having a problem when my computer enters in the run level 4 as the default when i start slackware. The strange thing is that it not seems that is a X window problem, it looks like more like a configuration problem in some part of the kde script to initialize the log in, because if i manually start the X service it works fine, i dont know what is the source.
