Is it possible to install new slax module (from slax site) on ancient backtrack 2? Or it won't work because of versions? I would like to update tor by installing this module on bt2: http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=2277
I was trying to install a couple of the sun packages to have and after the install I get the follow error. Xsession: unable to start X session--- no "/home/username/.xsession" file, no "/home/username/.xsession" file, no session managers, no window managers, and no terminal emulators found; aborting. I am now not able to log into the system at all....Can someone tell me what I've done wrong? How can a repair this?
I installed slax to my hard drive. I am using ubuntu. In fact I think to install xp that partition of my disk but I want to try it on disk. It was ext3 already my partion which disk I was installed slax. I did my job by following commands I quoted. But my disk was sda1 and I changed command according to that. for example I gave some commands like this ( /mnt/sda1/slax ) Then my slax working but kde doesn't start. when I gave startx command it try to start. I can see desktop wallpaper but then it comes to start kde parts it turns [URL]
Recently I deleted files from my root/share folder in an attempt to remove a program which had made the system virtually unusable. Upon reboot of the system I accessed the partition I had just edited and I found that I was unable to login using the login manager, every time I hit login it just returns me to the same screen displaying the message: unable to start session.
On my machine, I am not able to login using any of the user account or root. It's showing this message:
Then comes another message: YOur session lasted for less than 10 seconds. Try logging using Failsfe. .... session_child_run: Could not exec /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession default
I tried to use the failsafe as well, but nothing seems to work.
Would someone please help me regarding this issue?
When I started my session, a box saying: "An error occurred the startup of the Akonadi server. The following self-tests are supposed to help to tracking down and solving the problem. When requesting support or reporting bugs, please always include this report:
I have centos 5.3 installed, while restarting httpd service I get error starting http:/bin/bash line 1 9941 segmentation fault /usr/sbin/httpd. If I stop httpd service and start it will start but if make service httpd restart it give above error.
Suddenly my machine not working under run level 5 and it seems to be problem with xserver and it is saying that "in last 90 seconds xserver restarted 6 times and unable to start" and then just giving blank screen.So i changed the run level to 3 and using startx command i am managing to work now.
After finally getting libptp2 to compile I find that ptpcam does not work. This has worked perfectly fine before with the same camera using Slackware 12.0, I am now using Slackware 13.1 and ptpcam will simply not work. The error is as follows:
Code:
x86_1# ptpcam -l Listing devices... bus/dev vendorID/prodID device model ERROR: Could not open session! Try to reset the camera.
I have tried to reset with "ptpcam -r", I have also tried to disconnect and reconnect the camera to the USB system, I have tried to reboot the computer, I have tried to use different versions of libptp2 -- all to no avail. The strace shows the issue is apparently a failed ioctl(), although I have no idea why it fails:
I have verified that the camera is working in Windows 7 on the same physical computer and I can see the camera from lsusb and dmesg output when I connect it to the USB system. This system is Slackware 13.1, Linux x86_1 2.6.33.4-smp #2 SMP Wed May 12 22:47:36 CDT 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux.
This is the deal. I installed kubuntu yesterday. Now when it prompts the start session screen, I write the user and password, click enter and then starts loading a new screen. It shows an hdd draw, and starts loading some other images, and all of a sudden it prompts me again at the start session screen.
I think there is something wrong with my CRL file, such as the file format.Is there any requirement to the CRL file? What can I do to enable this CRL file checking?
I'm trying to execute some code (let's call it login.java) when I log in and out of my linux machine. Is there any way to do this? I'm looking for perhaps a way to trigger the code? I've thought of just putting it in my .bash_login but preferably the code would launch on normal login, not when I start my terminal.
I just bought a new TrendNet TEW-423PI for my ubuntu box (10.04) and have not been able to get it to start. This has the RealTek RTL-8185. I first tried starting up out with the stock install with the built in r8180 drivers. No luck. The board is seen (visible in lshw -C network), but the network device (eth1, or wlan0) never gets created. I googled and got the suggestion that I should install the RealTek r8185 drivers. I did that. I still have the same problem. Looks like something is going wrong in the drivers. Here's what I see in lshw:

I have not been able to install and successfully run Ubuntu 9.10. I am now wondering if I will be able to go from 9.04 to 10.04 this coming April. I think that somewhere I read it isn't good to do this, but I don't have much choice.
So, I was playing with Fathom's new Slax Remix with Zen kernel 2.6.33 and decided to try a manual install to hdd and see if it would boot. [URL]. New slax remix is here: [URL]I surprised when after doing the install I ended up with a beautiful and fully functional KDE desktop all in 860MB of space! Although many things will break if upgrading, etc. I was impressed that with KDE running it was only using about 140MB ram! incl cache, etc. And, fluxbox is included too as well as pkgtool, and xwmconfig. The complete How-To I did is in the slax remix thread at above link, and also here [URL].
Hints: After installing to hdd, usb-hdd, etc. Grab slackpkg and the gnupg stuff and install any other pkgs. Be careful about upgrading... I added kdeadmin pkg from slax module and some other stuff so my install is at 944MB now and look at output of "free" in screenshot.
I decided to finally give it a try last night and made a Live USB for Slax. It booted up quickly, pretty much everything worked right away, and after getting the Wifi working I decided to call it a night.
My project for today was attempting to install Java, but I haven't had much success. There are modules on the Slax site for this, but a. they are unverified and b. I want to delve into linux further than just downloading everything off a website. I downloaded the latest Java package for linux, which was a self-extracting .bin. I followed steps 1 through 4 here, but step 5 didn't work. I got the error message

Extracting... UnZipSFX 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP (Zip-Bugs@lists.wku.edu). inflating: jre-6u20-linux-i586.rpm error: db4 error(2) from dbenv->open: No such file or directory error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
I then tried using the rpm -UvH command on the rpm file, but got the same error. Knowing that Slax modules are .lzm files, I used rpm2tgz and tgz2lzm to convert it to a module, but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction, other than "Download this unverified module from the Slax site."
In addition, a problem I haven't encountered yet but is foreseeable: In those instructions that I linked above for downloading and installing Java, the "Enable and Configure" section requires altering parts of the Firefox install directory. However, since this is Slax, Firefox is in a module. To do that part, do I have to use lzm2dir in order to get into Firefox's innerworkings, or what?
I foolishly changed the mount point of a partition on a HDD which Linux was not in fact using, and now when I try to start up I get a message box stating:- Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation.
How do I recover the situation. I do not have an up to date recovery disc. I do have a full bootup disc of Suse 11.2 - could I use the opportunity to update without losing all my personal files, or should I use the old 10.2 disks? The first essential is to get something back up and working.
I recently purchased an inexpensive bluetooth dongle for my laptop running lucid 64-bit. the device, however, doesn't seem to want to work in ubuntu. most functions (everything but turning the device OFF) fail, causing gui windows to hang, and i mostly receive messages relating to the device timing out.
Before you ask, it is not the device: the dongle works flawlessly in windows 7 after being autodetected and autoinstalled. i attempted to boot from the lucid cd, and the problem persisted.
I have a windows 98 box.I have a slax ISO and a slax TAR. My slax TAR has all the modules I want.
My windows 98 hard drive has only 1 partition and is fully formatted.I have used windows 98 to download my TAR.I want to dual boot slax and windows 98.How do I go about this? So do I have to repartition?
I have upgraded from Centos version 4.x to 5.5 and my installation of UGS NX 6.0 was installed under Centos 4. NX was working fine in Centos 4, but when I try starting it under Centos 5, I get the following:
ERROR: unable to start NX Check: X windows is running, :0.0 is valid, and X display has been authorized on :0.0.
unclean shutdowns/reboots. Whenever I boot/restart, I notice the message "/dev/hdb1 (and hdb2) was not cleanly unmounted, check forced." Then fsck(?) scans them without errors, and everything continues normally. FWIW, hdb1 @ hdb2 are ext2, /boot & /tmp respectively, whereas all other partitions are ext3. Could that (ext2) be why? I checked halt, reboot, umountfs, umountnfs.sh, and umountroot in /etc/init.d, and nothing jumped out at me, though I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at/for.
