General :: Initializing Run Level 4 At Inittab Default Level
Jan 15, 2011hello 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. Thank you in advance for the help.

Fedora Installation :: Using The Live-CD To Install FC12-RC4?
Nov 17, 2009i am not sure where to post this issue since i am using RC4 of FC12 so posting it here.I am using the Live-CD to install FC12-RC4, it is gnome x86_64. The issue is as follows:I never had this with OpenSuSE. Mandriva & Ubuntu all of which is the latest release. Why the installer has to initialize the hard disk?

Mar 11, 2010I'm trying to install from the Live CD. I read the sticky about needing a /boot and a / partition. I think that sticky applies to me but I'm not sure; once the Live CD loads, I click the "Install to Hard Drive" icon on the desktop. It thinks for awhile but ultimately doesn't display anything.What I'm not sure about is how exactly I go about making those partitions. My current HD is a Ubuntu system (Karmic Koala), and its network slowness has prompted me to try FC12. I've backed up everything already, I don't need to preserve anything on the existing drive.
I'm looking for the easiest way to get FC12 installed. Should I fool with the partitions? I just download a different install CD i.e. a non-Live one? If so, which one? Do I need all 5 or so CD images? I don't have a DVD burner so downloading the DVD isn't an option. I'm comfortable working from a Linux command line once the system is working, but I don't have much experience "close to the metal" i.e. actually getting a system up and running.

May 12, 2009Hi Guys,
here is my scenario:
I am running F10 x86_64 with Nvidia Quadro FX 3400.
I installed the drivers and it worked just fine. No errors generated according to Nvidia log files.
However, while in run level 5 when I try to switch to run level 3 by typing "telinit 3" or "init 3" the X server goes down and I get a blank screen. Same thing happens when I try to switch to a different tty session by <ctrl>+<alt>+F2 (or any F key for that matter).
I also noticed that when I shut down my system I can't see any more the screen where services are shutting down and their status ([OK] or [failed]).
Would appreciate your help on solving this issue.
Fedora :: Cannot Start Mgetty From Inittab?
Feb 8, 2010I'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:

Fedora :: Why Inittab Running Graphically - All Settings Correct
May 31, 2011I'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.
Fedora :: Configuration Of Event.d Serial Devices - Inittab Don't Work
Jul 30, 2009I 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Move Transparently Between Run Level 3 And Run Level 5 As Autologin User?
Aug 10, 2010I've been able to kludge a kill script which finds the correct pid for the kdeserver (or gnome server) after my system comes up in run level 5 so I can drop back to run level 3 mode. Lots of experimentation showed me that using telinit 3 and telinit 5 would occasionally leave the video memory in a mess and I would have the black screen of death.
I set the security parameter setting to autologin for me since I am the only user of my machine, but I still have to kludge the default setting under sysconfig (the DEFAULT_WM) under Window Manager to pick a certain window manager, so it takes time to manually switch the desktop.
Right now I can leave the gui and drop back to cli, but painful experimenting showed me that killing the X server is a no no. Right now I kill the kde server, which sends the SIGTERM to the X windows manager, which then figures out that it has to shut down.
Questions: Is there a better way of doing this? Apparently openSUSE figures that we have multiple users logging into the gui desktop, so the gui is always kept running and a login window with the desktop manager option forces the user to login in. With autologin, this never happens, but no choice of desktop is possible on the fly.
Can some type of script be set up to painlessly enable this to happen? And what is the best way of bringing either the Gnome or KDE desktop manager down gracefully? I do get lots of error messages as the system attempts to recover and X shuts down. It appears that apparently the single user with autologin is left out in the cold.

My main question is has anyone found a decent workaround, that won't completely hose your system? Should I just wait until they build an rpm for FC12?
Fedora :: Non-KVM Kernel For FC12?
Mar 10, 2010Not wanting to speculate why, in the repositories, Fedora doesn't *also* provide a on-KVM enabled kernel counterpart to the default KVM enabled kernel that *is* supplied, I must say I'm frustrated that they haven't done this simple thing.
Considering that everyone who upgrades to KVM enabled FC12 from a previous non-KVM release of Fedora (like FC10) ... considering that these people will be guaranteed to no
longer be able to run VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation after upgrading, is a disappointing oversight by / or intent of Fedora (one that manifests in *lost productivity*).
And try though you may to install the kernel source RPM and compile it after running "make xconfig" to disable KVM support, you usually can't! Fedora kernel compile attempts often die very early in the "make" process, indicating something like ...
"Kernel compile error: No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'
or some other silliness. And when you successfully compile a "kernel.org" kernel, and try to boot it, you get all kinds of missing library errors (etc).
Given that it would be simple to provide both a KVM enabled kernel (as they do), and also a non-KVM enabled kernel (which they don't) so the rest of us can seamlessly continue to run VirtualBox and/or VMWare Workstation after an upgrade - and avoid getting entangled with deciding whether use KVM or XEN for guest O/S's... it's a frustrating misstep to not have done this basic thing (i.e. include a non-KVM kernel). It was a rude awakening when we tried to launch VirtualBox only to have it fail after the upgrade.
Anyway, has anyone successfully compiled their own kernel for FC12 and not get errors after boot? If so, which sources did you use; and what kernel version? In the meantime I'll try out other kernels and compile options.

I noticed that NVIDIA does not work (as many topics on this forum confirm). So I reinstalled and used the FC12 default drivers (I think they are called Nouveau-drivers). This seemed to work, so I ran "yum update", and now all X-windows fail.

After almost two years I see that a great development was made to build and gui to yum, but synaptic is still superior, imho.
