I have 3 accounts setup on this machine. One is root, one is my own, and one is for my kids. My account and root work fine, but today when I tried to log my kids on, startx fails (it also fails from runlevel4). I have tried creating new accounts and they fail as well. I'm not sure when the issue started, but it's been less than a week I believe. The consistent error which I receive is Quote:
Booting up this morning, no problem. But I accidentally let my laptop go into suspend mode, which doesn't work, so I had to force a restart (Suspend mode on my laptop won't allow me to wake it up again). Now, on rebooting, X doesn't work. I usually boot to RL3 then use startx. Now it just flashes the screen then gives me this error -
Code: (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0) (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap XKB: Failed to compile keymap Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config. Fatal server error: Failed to activate core devices ..... Fatal server error: Failed to activate core devices.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at [URL] for help. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. If I su - to root and then do "init 4", I get to xdm, and I can log in. X then starts, but with no sound, wrong keymaps, launchers not working; all sorts of things wrong. If I startx as root I get a normal desktop. I have tried copying root's xinitrc to /home/spoovy, but makes no difference.
I've been using slackware64 13.1 ever since it came out on my Dell Inspiron 1525, and I haven't really had any problems with my webcam in that time. However, last time I tried to use skype - I noticed that it couldn't detect it.
In kinfocenter, my webcam is picked up (OmniVision Technologies). The only time I've had a similar problem in the past is when I used the "Compact" option in lilo.conf, and the webcam wouldn't turn on. Just removing the option solved the problem.
Since I don't know what steps caused this to happen, I'm not sure where to start fixing it
After install rhel 5.1 is there any way to activate rhn support.because at the time of insatalltion have choosed i will do it later. now i have to take the updates from redhat server.
in that script I create some alias commands an pipe them to a new shell script (called dojas.sh) however after execution of that script , I do not see the aliases jan1 and jan2 in my terminal. Even if I execute the dojas.sh srcipt manually , I do not see the aliases in the alias output of my terminal. The only way I can make the aliases active is do the following : cat dojas.sh copy and paste the alias rules, and they are active in my session. How can I make sure that I can activate aliases and they are active in my terminal from a script ?
Note : I am not interested in .bashrc file, I want them to be active in my current session.

I am going to buy new hardware for our server. I would like to ask your suggestions about what kind of server is the best choice for slackware. (13.1 32bit) I think about the Lenovo ThinkServer RD120. It seems to be a good choice but I don't have any experience with server hardwares. I use for my servers classic PCs with AMD Athlon and Intel Core2Duo. Once I installed a HP ProLiant With IntelXeon but thats all. Do anybody have experience with the Lenovo ThinkServers especially the RD120? Or do anybody know about some better model in the same category?

Successfully installed F14 X64 from commercial install disk (pure vanilla graphic desktop/install repo/customize later). Booted system, DSL connection not active. system => network configuration => devices => new => xDFSL connection reports "you have to install rp-pp0e. Not on installation disk. Without connection to my router, YUM can't be used; my windows 7 laptop does neither command line ssh or git in order to reach the fedora repository and of course Firefox can't (yet) do http access. Short of ordering the entire distro on DVDs, is there any way to activate my DSL link? (I have the entire 3.3 Gb .iso file and have been unsuccessful in creating a bootable DVD in Windows land.)

Installed Fedora 11 yesterday and was trying to use the Admin->Software Update but initially it complained about no connectivity (this is happening even though I was able to browse the web via FireFox!). So I went to Admin -> Services, and restart the Network Manager. It was then able to download about 250 updates. However, when I clicked on Install after the download, it says it was disconnected. When I went into Admin->Networking, I found out that the eth0 interface is Inactive. However, the Activate button is greyed out. I have been searching in the User Guide, the FAQ, the bugs section and have been unable to find out how to fix this. If I goto the command prompt, and typed in "ifconfig" I can also see that there is no IP and no packets transferred.
