Slackware :: Can I Switch Runlevels During Boot Process

Nov 2, 2010

I upgraded to current, and x won't start... I suspect it's probably an issue with the Nvidia drivers (I forgot to swith my xorg to the nv drivers; I knew I'd be getting a new kernel). Anyway, it leaves me with an unusable computer. Is there anyway I can get into a console before x tries to start. BTW, the ctrl-alt-f1 hotkey isn't working.

Slackware :: Boot Process Hangs At Audio Driver - No Sound / Get It?

Jul 13, 2010

When my system boots it hangs at

Code...

and hangs for another 120 seconds. In X11 I have no sound at all even after running alsaconf with no errors. My sound works perfectly in Ubuntu, so it's not a hardware problem. Are the two problems related or are they two separate things? Any help here would be hot.

Slackware :: Change The Option To Have Samba Start During The Boot Process?

May 17, 2010

Where do I change the option to have samba start during the boot process? I've googled and I've found old posts that say it's a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 but in my semi-current box, I don't see the part about starting stopping the samba server.

Slackware :: Kernel Hang During Boot Process - Slack 13.1 Stable W/ Kernel 2.6.33.4-smp

Jun 20, 2010

I installed a fresh copy of Slackware 13.1 (stable) on one of my media servers and I am experiencing something strange.... When I power up the machine, I see the kernel booting, no errors, until it gets to the point where it says:

And then randomly freeze there.... Well the machine is not totally frozen because the cursor still blinks. But it will never continue... Like I said, this happens on a random basis... After a reset, it might go through or simply stall at the same spot.

I remember after installing Slack 13.1, I rebooted the machine but forgot to remove the DVD from the player, so the install routine started up, and froze at the same point when it was loading the kernel for the setup programs...

My mobo is a MSI k9N platinum.

I never had this problem before.... (well I never used 13.1 before). Since I got this machine, I used slack 12.2 and slack 13-current with success.

This problem makes the machine extremely unreliable because I intent to use it as a backup and media server, so chances I will WOL the machine and use it remotely... if that happens.

Debian :: Start A Cron Job From Runlevels?

Jun 3, 2010

I have made a shell script that is ran every 5 minutes (using crontab) that does the following:(please disregard the '.' in ht.tp .. I'm under 15 post...can't post URLs yet ) Code: #!/bin/bashwget -q --read-timeout=0.0 --wait=5 --tries=5 -O /var/log/dynamicDNS.data ht.tp://someURLecho "[$(date)] $(cat /var/log/dynamicDNS.data)" >>/var/log/dynamicDNS.logrm /var/log/dynamicDNS.data >/dev/nullexit 0 (this script might look pretty bad but hey, it's my first one!)hat works perfectly! Though, I need to have this "cron" run from startup (boot) without the need to open a terminal and leave it open.I understand I can use runlevels to start a program from boot but that will have it run only once.

Ubuntu Servers :: Runlevels In Or The Lack Thereof?

Jan 23, 2010

I came up on RedHat. While I thoroughly embrace Ubuntu now, I miss the concept of runlevels. I installed all my CentOS servers with Gnome as a convenience on tap when needed. I boot them to runlevel 3 and open a vnc shell if i need gui. Then kill the vnc thus killing the gui. Just a fantastic compromise for me.

SOooo...how to replicate this behaviour in Ubuntu?

NOT a very broad topic on here that I can see. Anyone doing this? How?

Ubuntu :: Update-rc.d Ignoring Init Script's Runlevels

Feb 1, 2011

Let's say I have a init script, etc/init.d/strangeScript, that starts like this:

Code:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: strangeScript
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog

[Code].....

Why is it not only complaining my runlevels do not match the defaults, which they do, but also is refusing to create the links to the proper runlevels? This is 10.04LTS if that matters.

Slackware :: Cannot Switch To Runlevel

Jan 6, 2011

I recently installed slackware and while I was in the process of installing video drivers, I noticed something odd. "init 3" (or init anything) doesn't seem to work for me. While working in XFCE, when I do "init 3", nothing happens. But then, when I do "who -r" it says I am in runlevel 3 even though I am still in XFCE.

Slackware :: Switch To The Generic Kernel?

Jun 15, 2011

One thing I always do is switch to the vmlinuz-generic(-smp) kernel in /etc/lilo.conf and build an initrd (see /boot/README.initrd for details). The "huge" kernel used by default is only meant for installing and not recommended for everyday use. It has a lot of drivers you don't need built-in and uses more RAM than the "generic" kernels.

still trying to find my feet and get to know Slackware. In one of my previous threads, 'things to do after installing' i was told the above message. When i installed, it used the huge kernel, but i'm unsure if that was the one that got installed. when i start slackware up, above the login screen it say, �wecome to Linux 2.6.37.6-smp (tty1)� I was wondering how to swich to the generic smp kernel, do I just change the vmlinuz to the desired, in lilo?

Slackware :: Radio Switch Is Completely Ignored?

Jun 19, 2010

I have a ThinkPad T60 with the AR5008 chipset. I am using a Madwifi driver that I complied from source (this is a fixed driver related to a bug report on this chipset). My Thinkpad has a hardware switch on the front.My problem is that the wireless works whether or not the radio switch is in the on position.I have not been able to figure out how to make the wifi radio turn on and off with the switch.Note that the bluetooth does respect the switch.

Slackware :: Not Recognizing Wifi Switch Being Turned On?

Feb 26, 2011

I turned my wifi switch off because I was on a plane, and wanted to save battery, but now Slackware isn't recognizing that it's being turned back on. I toggle the switch in XP, and the light goes from orange to blue, like normal, but no matter what I do in Slackware, the light stays orange. Wicd just tells me there are now wireless networks in range. My wireless card doesn't show up in ifconfig, but lspci shows it fine

Slackware :: Write A Script To Switch Between Different Network Configuration?

May 8, 2010

I am running Slackware 12.2.
I have checked the file like /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, and the command 'ip' or 'ifconfig', but still can not figure out how to write a script to switch between two network configurations easily.

Suppose that one configuration uses DHCP server to dynamically give the ip address, and uses a Default Gateway 1.1.1.1, a net mask 1.0.0.0, a DNS server 1.1.1.0;
and in another configuration the Ip address is fixed, and use a Default Gateway 2.2.2.2, a net mask 2.0.0.0, a DNS server 2.2.2.0;
Anyone would like to give me a hint on how to write one (or two separate) script(s) to switch between these two settings?

Slackware :: Switch VI From Input To Command Mode - ESCape Key?

Jul 6, 2011

Since 13.37 I notice that vi needs the 'home' key to switch from input to command mode. I think this is only when I connect via Putty to the machine. When I am on local console it is still ESCape like it used to be. Does anyone know how to set it so that vi will switch from input to command mode using the ESCAPE key when using Putty?

Another vi question :
When you edit htm files, vi goes automagically into some sort of html display mode. Ofcourse I never want that since all I do is edit the html in vi. So I need to go to command mode and type :normal everytime I want to edit html files. Where can you configure that vi (or vim) default to normal mode always?

<I see that vi links to elvis : >
# ls -al /usr/bin/vi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 3 2009 /usr/bin/vi -> elvis*

Slackware :: Reset Default Keymap Then Switch Ctrl>>Capslock Not Working?

Jan 8, 2011

I'm running through an Emacs tutorial and I was trying to figure out how to exchange CTRL and CAPSLOCK.

1. From the Emacs Wiki, i saw

Code:

As super-user:

$ loadkeys emacs
$ echo "loadkeys emacs" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

so, maybe stupidly I tried this. Which seems to have changed nothing.

so then I try

Code:

loadkeys -d

to try and get back to the default. Which doesn't seem to work. so then thinking i should reset everything, try to go in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty and do

Code:

loadkeys defkeymap.map.gz

Finally, I go into /etc/X11 and edit xorg.conf-vesa to uncomment

Code:

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
and restart.

To no avail...

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot From USB Connected External Hard Take Long Time From Loading INITRD Image To Start Boot Process?

Jul 18, 2011

I have installed "open-SUSE 11.4" on a "500GB Free Agent External Hard Drive". I didn't have any problem in booting since last week that I booted it from my laptop. Also I did it before several times from then when I try to boot it e.g. from an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz" PC the time between loading INITRD and starting boot sequence messages lasts nearly 30 minutes!(i didn't actually measure it but it take a long time in the same order). after starting boot sequence which is showed on monitor everything looks normal. e.g copy of files would be done by speeds between 2MB/s to 30 MB/s depending on the targets.I used to use the external hard derive to boot from different laptops and PC's from start but I didn't have such a problem anytime.

Slackware :: Painless Or Successful Is Upgrade Process?

I have 2 Slackware installs at home, both tracking -current. When 13.37 is officially released I'm considering changing one of those to remain as "stable" for general family consumption. My question is...when the next release comes, how painless and/or successful is the upgrade process. Yes I know of the detailed upgrade instructions by Pat V, and I know I'd have no difficulty executing them.

Hardware :: Slackware Nvidia Driver Install - Freezes With An Underscore In Top Left Hand Of Screen And Can't Switch Between Tty's

Mar 17, 2010

Fairly recent enough system. nvidia 6200.

Full install of slackware. then i use these instructions to install drivers:

Quote:

Install nvidia driver in Slackware Linux

Before begin the nvidia driver installation, you must make a copy of the original /etc/X11/xorg.conf as a backup. Use the copy command example below:

If you choose to install the nvidia driver that you download from nvidia website, you must close kde or x-window and install the driver from Linux command line terminal.

Copy the driver to the directory that you placed all third party software such as /usr/local/src. This is not necessary, just a good habit. To install the driver, run the nvidia driver with the sh command like in the example below.

Now, you just need to answer all the questions to configure nvidia driver and the nvidia installation program will do the driver and kernel installation for you.

When i startx the computer freezes with an underscore in the top left hand of screen and i can't switch between tty's.

I know the pc and card work fine with other linux and win os's.

General :: ARCH & Slackware's Bootup/mounting Process?

Jul 9, 2010

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what file, etc is the equivalent of ARCH's /etc/rc.sysinit? I need to know this because I am having many problems making the new nfluxos iso's for ARCH because of how ARCH now mounts stuff at bootup

due to whatever changed in udev or udisks or something else in ARCH now, when I make the system into a livecd it doublemounts everything when booting for example; output of "mount" in nfluxos with 3.4squashfs udev 151

Code:
[root@nfluxos ~]# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
aufs on / type aufs (rw,relatime,si=4ce08f22,nowarn_perm)
none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)

Slackware :: Unable To Complete Installation Of 13.0 - Process Hangs

May 28, 2010

I am unable to complete the installation of Slack 13.0 on a new machine with Intel DH55HC motherboard and Intel Core i5 750 processor. The installation proceeds smoothly until the 3'rd CD and then hangs at the FONTCONFIG UPDATE stage. The hung process is apparently rescan-scsi-bus which reaches this stage

"Scanning host 6 channels 0 for SCSI target IDs ....
"Scanning for device 6 0 0 0...
"NEW:

It is not possible to kill this process even with "kill -9". I have to kill the parent process which is Slack setup, so the installation is incomplete. There is another recent thread on this issue [URL] but it did not resolve my problem. How to correct or bypass this difficulty (maybe another kernel? I use the default).
