Since the last update of xorg/x-server I am receiving following error after logging into my gnome desktop:
Code:
After updating fedora on my laptop there's the same error. I found this thread here in the forums but the link inside is dead. [url]
According to some google-results it has something to do with the gnome settings not being the same as the X-server settings.
Error activating XKB configuration It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

I'm new to Ubuntu as of yesterday, and know very little of Linux in general. I tried RedHat for a while about 10 years ago and remember almost nothing from the experience. I'm up and running with everything working great with one exception -- my wireless. The error: Contents of jockey.log as suggested: -Sorry, it's long. Not sure what (if anything) is relevant.

I'm running Fedora 12 and the last couple days I have noticed my screensaver will not start anymore. I did a yum update a few days ago don't know if there is a connection between the two. I've just started to Google the topic. Found different culprits ranging from dbus problems to buggy code.
I'm using a x86_64 PC running kernel 2.6.32.23-170.fc12.x86_64. My Gnome version is 2.28.2. The Gnome-screensaver version is 2.28.3-1.fc12.x86_64.
SSH is initially installed and activated. What are the steps in activating FTP and Telnet on Fedora 10. I know they are non-secure and probably shouldn't be used at all, but I need to know or at least pointed in the right direction.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot fc14 with an already defined printer connected on the parallel port, then I can use the printer. The printer appears on parallel:/dev/lp0. But, if the printer is not connected during startup, when I connect the printer I cannot use it. Nothing happens. I have no corresponding message using "dmesg" command when I connect the printer.
I cannot make cups see that the printer is connected, using "localhost:631" in firefox. Is it possible to "mount" the printer manually? Using "system-config-printer", the printer has to be "activated", even though it is not used or even connected. Then "parport" module is installed during boot (with other related modules: "ppdev" and "parport_pc").
Then, when the printer is connected, "dmesg" shows :
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
lp0: console ready
And, of course, it is now OK to use the printer.
I am trying to get a netgear wireless usb card to work correctly. I have installed ndiswrapper and gotten the correct drivers installed. The device does show up with lsusb. I can't seem to figure out how to get the wireless card to show up in gnome to start using it.
Update: the ndiswrapper module does load but when i run ndiswrapper -l it just shows the driver installed but, it is not showing my wireless usb card (0846:9020).
Is there an easy way (or even a hard way) to activate wireless network capability from the command prompt? I want to do this because I like to use the fvwm window manager, but I also like wireless! (In fvwm wireless networking doesn't start up automatically.)
I tried just starting the wireless by...

Despite the promising messages, wireless didn't work.
When trying to install fedora, I frequently run into the problem where it locks up on boot.
The line that I am able to read right before it locks up is: "No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!"
I was wondering if anyone has any similar problems or how I could fix this.
Just now I have install Fedora 10 on my desktop computer and network card is appearing as "eth1", manually i have set the IP and subnet mask and dns setting also i have checked the option starts automatically when computer starts, but after restarting my network is not activated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm playing with Fedora 12 and can't get GRUB to work. To boot, I've been using GRUB4DOS. While that works fine, I'd like to figure out what's wrong with regular GRUB 0.97. After the initial installation, GRUB came up on reboot, but it was broken -- it couldn't read the config file apparently, and no commands would work correctly. So I attempted to reinstall grub via the grub prompt. No matter what I do, or which hard disk I install GRUB on, I get "Error 18". I tried using the "grub-install" command as well as the prompt, and that did the same thing.
My system here is an ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO mo/bo. I've got four hard drives. Two 1TB SATA drives and a couple of PATA drives (300 and 500GB) on a Si608 controller card. Using the BIOS "BBS" boot menu, I can boot NTLDR and BOOTMGR off active partitions on any of the drives (with proper Boot.ini modifications to handle the change in drive order). GRUB4DOS works as well, and will boot Fedora 12 correctly off any of them (with proper menu.lst ministrations). But GRUB 0.97 that comes with Fedora just refuses to do anything other than say "Error 18".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have mounted an NFS share with ISO images on my kvm Server. If i connect such a iso to a VM (using virt-manager) for installing a operating system i get the following error on startup: Error starting domain: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 qemu: could not open disk image /mnt/iso/public/Linux/Distributions/Debian/debian-504-amd64-netinst.iso: Permission denied
The problem is definitly that kvm (or qemu or libvirt-bin, i don't know) tries to set permissions (rwx owner for libvirt-qemu, --- for kvm group, --- for other) on the file, although it has read permissions. Is it possible to change this behavior?
I finally got everything installed and then slackware setup prompted me to reboot. then i did and it just took me back to windowsxpx64. so then i tried booting off my usb, and it worked, however when i login as root, i just get the bash commandline and not interface or programs or anything. i cannot login as any other user and the setup did not prompt me to make another user account. so how would i activate lilo or make it so i can boot with it to slackware? i rather use grub but for now i would just like to get slackware working right.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe printer configuration dialogue under Fedora 13 KDE will give the error message "The password may be incorrect" when I click on the new network printer button, however there was never anywhere that I entered a password. The configuration will continue after this but it will throw an error that it doesn't have permission to do what it needs later on. I have been searching for a bug but have not been able to find one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed debian Jessie (8) and find that the system cannot resolve URLs. Checking with the "hosts" command confirms this. I am connected to a comcast network in my house. I have looked over some of the documentation and it seems like there are several conflicting ways of setting up the resolver. It is not clear if the install process did this for me. I am assuming that DHCP was installed as the computer had no problem defining IPs for its wlan0 and eth0 ports and I can telnet in from and in-network PC. I have a few questions :
1) I see /sbin/dhclient/,,,,, running so i assume this is the DHCP deamon in use?
2) Before I dig too deep I wonder if an internal firewall is involved. Is there a command to shut it down temporarily?
3) what would I look for to determine if a resolver was installed and which one?
I see from my windows machine an apparent comcast DNS server but I don't believe I can code it into resolv.conf on debian as the OS now overwrites this(I already tried and failed!).

How do I activate networking? (I am currently logged in from Ubuntu on another computer). I installed Debian Squeeze on an iMac 7.1 (which works perfectly well with ubuntu) from the netinstall CD (today's daily build), and of course I deactivated root login, coming from ubuntu. Now I find I have to enter my root password (login password will not do) to activate networking! Is this a joke? I had the network configured with DHCP during install! So how do I activate the root account, or, more to the point, how do I get by in Debian without activating root login?
View 5 Replies View Related1) Use INSSERV to start DMRAID
2) Use MKINITRD to create a new INITRD file which loads the DMRAID module.
Neither solution showed any detail of how to accomplish this, and which files to edit or what order I should use to tackle either. With the second solution, I have another SUSE 11.2 installation on another hard drive. Would it be ok to boot into that and create a new INITRD with DMRAID activated, or would it be better to break the RAID-set boot into one of the drives and create INITRD for that RAID 1 system, then recreate the RAID-set? The only issue I would see is that fstab, device mapper and grub would need the new pdc_xxxxxxxxxx value, which can be changed from the second installation.
My system is:
Asus M4A78T-E with fakeraid SB750 controller

I have Windows XP on another hard drive purely for overclocking and syncing the 1TB drives, but I can't actually boot into the SUSE system until this issue is sorted out.
This must be a repost, but I still want to ask, how do I activate the wireless on my laptop? I've been given advice about this a while back, but forgot. Just reinstalled a fresh copy of 9.10
Or is there an alternative way to do this?
