OpenSUSE Hardware :: Getting Nowhere With Nvidia X Server - Just Refuses Point Blank To Save Config
May 27, 2011
trying to enable the nvidia drivers because i wanted to use Gnome 3 and had zero luck. So once i read that suse was a better bet i installed that. the nvidia drivers have installed fine and i can get my required resolution of 1440x900 if i use an old saved xorg.conf file i managed to randomly cobble together a few years ago .. this is it ..

I'm trying to create a cname in system-config-bind. I can create the record but when I go to save it I get a "Zone file save error".
Here's the full output:
Save of Zone file var/named/chroot/var/named/plantsareperfect.com.db failed
dns_master_load_/var/named/chroot/var/named/plantsareperfect.com.db:10lantsareperfect.com:cname and other data (sorry, the rest is off the page and I cant see it)
Why I can't save this cname?

Not sure why but I keep on getting the ERROR: Path is not writable when I'm trying to add a Slave Zone.
The server was commissioned by someone else and I remotely installed GNOME group, and vncserver as per the official CentOS instructions here.
Initially I tried using a normal (ie non root) user's credential for my VNC session. However, instead of asking me for my root password when I tried to open system-config-bind, it just doesn't load up. I ended up allowing the user "root" to connect to the server remotely via VNC, and was able to get system-config-bind to start.
However, I am now unable to save the settings, despite having done:

I am running a server with a GRSecurity patched Kernel 2.6.32.36. I've tried to optimize the kernel as much as I can and know it (removing options, not needed drivers and so on) and compiled the modules into the kernel (no loadable modules anymore). I've started with Slackware 13.0 and the default config for 2.6.29.6-huge. Still I am not sure what to remove/optimize further now.
My question: Is there a way to boot with a kernel with loadable modules, check which modules are really needed for this hardware, (do something like lsmod) and save the running configuration modules for a next kernel compile to be the default .config instead of writing them down by hand and search for the appropriate names in .config or during menuconfig? (Note: zcat /proc/config.gz > .config is NOT the way I want, as it gives me just the current kernel config)

When i tried to log in, i get blank screen on the login page, even the src/configtest.php This can be solved by reverting whatever was edited for the motd option to its original paramater. anyone experienced this before and found a solution? The only reason for me to use php 5.2 is to install roundcube alongside squirrelmail. Using: centos 5.5 32-bit, squirrelmail 1.4.8, php 5.2

i am trying to install opensuse 11.2 to my vaio laptop i have win7 pro 64 bit already installed so i'm trying dual booting i have followed the below steps1- on windows, shrink the c partition and create a new unused volume for suse2- install the suse 11.2 on the new unused volume with hdd config like sda4 swap 4 gb sda5 20 gb / ext4 sda6 120 gb ext43- selected custom packages and started the installaton4- installation started smoothly and after installing packages it tried to reboot the machine at the end. But after this point the reboot operation has failed and gave a blank screen.
At the end the installation failed.I started the machine vaio boot logo comes and stops. i can't even enterbios setup or change boot options.I have unplaged the hd reset the partions, pluged it again and recovered win7So i think the installation damaged the file system.i have tried the above steps 2 times and came up with the same result.I have installed fedora 13 before with no problem.

I have 2 monitors, a 22 inch samsung as my main and an acer as my alt. I am trying to get the samsung monitor to display, but is is disabled. So I enable it as a separate x display, then save, but when I restart x, the settings didn't save. I save the config under under /etc/X11/xorg.conf. What am I doing wrong?

I wanted to know how to save the dual monitor using Nvidia X server Manager. I googled how to and it said to delete the "xorg.conf" However I dont have the Permission to delete this file so I would also need to know how to gain full admin access to my Ubuntu Account.

I've a laptop with 2 external monitors connected to it.Using SaX2 I can't configure it in a way where it only uses the two external monitors and not the laptops own screen.With nvidia-settings I can configure it properly, as I am however unable to save it due to a missing xorg.conf file how am I supposed to save the this config so it isn't 'forgotten' between reboots?

I have dual monitors running successfully with my BFG GeForce 8400GS and NVIDIA X server settings. The only problem is every time I restart, the settings go back to default, so I have to setup the dual monitors again.

I installed OpenSuse Gnome version 64 bit on a HP laptop DV7 Intel Dual Core with nVidia 9600 GM cardAll went well, until after I had installed the nVidia drivers from this page: NVIDIA drivers - openSUSEI selected the Geforce 1-click install and Yast went on to installl all the packages (a lot of 32-bit),took about half an hour.I logged out/in, and could work as normal, until I rebooted. Maybe I waited not long enough (5 minutes), but the screen was blank, then I gave up.Anyone has an explanation. I can always re-install everything, but then what went wrong with the nVidia package

I have just performed an upgrade from OpenSUSE 11.2 to 11.3. My Machine is a Lenovo W701DS laptop which uses an NVIDIA FX3800M graphics card. The system was working fine under 11.2 before the upgrade.
After upgrading to 11.3 the splash screen after GRUB comes up for about 1 second before the screen goes blank. After about 5 mins I am able to SSH to the Laptop and access the system. Doing this I created an xorg file using "X -configure" and copied the new file to the /etc/X11 directory and renamed to xorg.conf.
If I SSH to the laptop change run levels to init 3 then init 5 the Gnome comes up and I have graphics the system works However I am unable to access the text consoles using alt+f1, f2 etc. If I restart the system it is back to the blank screen.
I have attempted to install the NVIDIA drivers however the installation fails due to an error with gcc or kernel source versions. Error log reports that the kernel was complied using a different version of gcc.

I have one machine (out of a couple dozen) that continues to refuse to allow "vncserver :1" to start. It is perfectly happy with :2 - :9 but tells me :1 is already running - yet ps tells me that there is no running
Xvnc instance.
What have I done here and how do I get that session back? I've cleared the /tmp/.X11-unix entries but that did no good. Could I have checked something in Yast that is launching an invisible session?

When I set up Twin View in the nVidia config tool (as either a regular user or as root), it only lasts until I log out and log back in (i.e. restart x) or until I restart the machine. In either case once I get to the log in splash screen again, it is only operating on one monitor, and when I log in I have to reconfigure in order to get Twin View back. How can I get the configuration to stay?
More info below:
I just installed opensuse 11.2 on an AMD 64 bit 3800. It has an nVidia GeForce 7600 GS card. I installed the nVidia driver no problem and can access the nVidia config app as a regular user or as root. Both access via KDE run level 5. That is, in a GUI desktop environment. I set up Twin View fine (it is kind of clunky process, but it does recognize my monitor resolutions fine) and click apply and I get the twin view I want. I clicked on save x config but all it does is bring up a file save dialog with a 'browse' button. Isn't this supposed to automatically know where the X config file is and update it? If it isn't, what file am I supposed to look for to save over? I looked in /etc/X11 and only found the following files:
./rstart/config
./xdm/xdm-config
./xdm/SuSEconfig.xdm
./fs/config
./proxymngr/pmconfig

I have just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 on an Intel DQ35JO motherboard and XFX 9500GT 512MB video card. After installation the desktop looked fine on the Sony LCD TV I have connected to the 9500GT via a DVI to HDMI cable.
After the first reboot after installation I added the Nvidia repository via the add community repository function in the software sources option in YaST2. I then proceeded to install the Nvidia G02 drivers and the nvidia-settings package. At this point after a reboot I would get a blank screen. Hitting ctrl-alt-F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6 has no effect, I could not get any of the virtual consoles to appear. I had to SSH into the box and reboot into runlevel 3.
Once I had rebooted into runlevel 3 I logged in as root and executed "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" and got an error message that the configuration server could not be started. I tried executing "sax2 -r -m 0=vesa" and received the same error:

I have configured a virtual host. Here is what I have did,
<VirtualHost rubby.tob.net:80>
ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
ServerName rubby.tob.net
# ErrorLog logs/dixie_error_log
ErrorLog syslog | local8.*
CustomLog logs/rubby_access_log common .....
The problem here is how to point the error log to syslogd. Here is my syslog file,
#vim /etc/syslog.conf
og all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages! .....
If I point the file, separatelt at httpd.conf for the errorlog, I'm getting the errog log. I'm using Centos 5.6.

I have a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586) server that is dying (I think the disc is about to crash). I want to save all the installed software and all the configurations.
To know what software is there installed, I use "rpm -qa > outlist.txt".
But what files shall I (scp) copy ... to take away as much configuration files as possible ?
Let's start with "/etc/*.conf", of course ... but is this enough ?
The server basically runs a DHCP server and a DNS server

I've just installed CentOS 5.3 on a Shuttle PC with an Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless card, and although the card is properly recognised and correctly identified by the OS, there seems to be a point blank refusal to pick up a signal from my network router, which is a Be*Box branded Thomson 585v7. I've previously successfully managed to get this PC and wi-fi card to pick up the signal from that router under other OSes including Kubuntu, openSUSE, Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 RC, but no luck with CentOS 5.3.
Clicking on Scan for Networks... in KWiFiManager doesn't even bother to scan for a network signal. From the very split second I take my finger of the mouse button, it instantly displays a dialog box which tells me . . . "The scan is complete, but no networks have been found."
How on earth can it actually find a network signal, when it doesn't even bother looking for any?! Wireless access is the only way I can get that machine online. A wired connection is not a realistic option, since the ADSL modem/router is in a front room downstairs, and all my PC's are in a back room upstairs, and would require about 10-20 meters of RJ45 ethernet cable and a lot of unnecessary extra work. The PC I'm currently typing this message on (running W7RC) is picking up the wi-fi signal with no problem.

Configure the HTTP server via system-config-httpd brings up some nice gui.I start a console, login to root and start it with: system-config-httpdGoto tab Virtual Hosts, then addI name my Virtual Hosts "sea", set its document root to: /home/sea/webs/sea.hs/www
where index.php is located for that 'local test server'.Host information is on Name based Virtual Host.But what do i have to enter for IP Adress and Host Name? Neither of these accept 127.0.0.1 nor localhost Further, when i try to exit, it wont let me close the app.Its not saved, hence i can even delete the default virtual hosts and its there again after restarting the app Even with adding sea /home/sea/webs/sea.hs/www or sea localhost.localdomain localhost to /etc/hosts doesnt change anything

I have some program that I want to run but I am not sure if it is going to do anything malicious. I have an old ubuntu pc which I am using to run it.
I know in Windows you have save a restore point where the registry and some other stuff (it's all mysterious to me) gets backed up and can be restored to later. Is there a similar concept in Linux? Can I bring my filesystem to where it was before I ran this program?

While in YAST2, everything seems to save fine except for the information in the "Host Name and Domain Server Configuration" screen. I have two servers side by side, the one works perfectly fine, the one does not. I can save the IP address and changes to DHCP and Static, but when I enter in the information for the Domain Name and Host Name, I click next, it saves, but when I go back in to it, the items I set are blank again. The boxes are not greyed out, you can type information in without error. When entering YAST, it requests the root pw which also works fine. I am not using any strange characters other than letters/numbers. I am going in to the screen by clicking network devices-->Netword Card-->Host Name and Name Server.
