For some reasons, dhcdpd wouldn't connect eth0 at startup and it takes 10 to 15 seconds of timeout. Since I don't really care because I use wifi, I would like to remove auto dhcpcd at startup but I can't fint it anywhere in /etc/rc.*.
View 3 RepliesI recently upgraded to a Intel i3 cpu and Intel H55 motherboard. This was from an old P4 machine that was running Slackware 13.0. The machine is a single connection to the internet through a cable modem. I moved the hard drives over, and found that dhcpcd would not work with this board in either Slackware 13.0 or 13.1 (after updating). I tried both the Gigabit onboard Lan, an old PCI ethernet card and installing the most recent version of dhcpcd. No luck. Dhcpcd would negotiate the lease with my cable modem, assign an IP address. But after that the process stalled. The internet was unreachable, and no nameservers were printed in /etc/resolv.conf. Manually killing dhcpcd and entering: "dhclient -4 eth0" got me on the internet without a problem. As this appears to be a lingering problem with dhcpcd, I am going to try to use dhclient permanently. Has anyone else moved over to using dhclient? If you have modified your startup scripts in /etc/rc.d to use dhclient.

it says waiting for carrier and it just time out, im wondering why i read somwhere that its not working good with slackware 13.1
I just realized that since I reinstalled slackware on my laptop, the machine is not obtaining an IP from my router during the startup proccess like it used to do before.
Now I see something like:
Code:
dhcpcd: eth0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: eth0: timed out
dhcpcd: eth0: waiting 8 sec
and it fails. After I login in KDE, I need to manually renew (or acquire) an IP. Issuing the command

this is rather odd actually and has never happened to be before.I recently installed slackware in a toshiba satellite m40 185 laptop and during boot it doesn't get an ip address from the server. the boot messages are of the sort:
dhcpcd: v5.2.2 started
dhcpcd: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out

I am on slackware 13.37 using broadcom-sta and wicd from /extra. Every so often, sometimes really often, my wireless resets it's connection. The only common thread I can see in the system log is at the same time I get 4 messages that "dhcpcd not running"
View 11 Replies View RelatedOkay, two packages in question here: sshd and xrdp.
In the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d directory there is a K??sshd link, I'm not really sure why the default is to kill sshd in graphical mode, but it's there. I saw it coincidentally when I went to add an S??xrdp link so that I could have xrdp run when the computer starts. I restarted the computer, and of course, couldn't connect via my Windows Remote Desktop client. A quick ps -e | grep xrdp in a terminal window showed me that xrdp had not, in fact, started.
I hop back in to ??/rc5.d to see if I messed up creating my link and poof. there's no more S??xrdp link, furthermore, the K??sshd link that I had removed was back.
Okay, so Fedora doesn't like you messing with the init links manually... I can dig it, cause there's this nifty gui tool to manage startup items... I go in to that and add entries for sshd and xrdp, calling them via their init scripts so I can make sure everything plays nicely... then restart.
Oh, wait, still no xrdp or sshd running.
If I manually start these servers using their init scripts from a terminal they run fine, no issues, but I don't want to do that, and I think we can all agree that I should't have to. What am I doing wrong? What is the 'proper' way to add servers to the startup process and since entering runlevel 5 apparently kills sshd, how do I prevent that?

Closing it doesn't prevent it from popping up on next startup.
There doesn't appear to be any option to "Don't show on startup."

I have installed mysql server on my Ubuntu Lucid AMD64 desktop. I need to run this service only on need. So I prefer not to have this in startup. So I did the following -
1. Deactivated the row entry by name "mysql" from application BootUp-Manager.
2. Run the application sysv-rc-conf and unchecked the checkboxes for all run levels.
3. Run the command "sudo update-rc.d -f mysql remove". Execution completed successfully.
4. Run the command - "sudo service mysql stop". In return I got a message "mysql stop/waiting".
5. Restarted the desktop.
Now when I read through the task manager, I still see a process by name "mysqld" running. I ran the command as mentioned in # 4 above and got the same response. I wanted to know how do I turn off mysql service running from startup permanently. But I still need to run it as and when required.
I am running Unbuntu 10.10 on a HTPC, and also XBMC. With some effort it worked ok, sounds, remote etc. Via systems>preferences I managed to add XBMC to the startup. It now starts when I start the PC. However it sort-of hijacks the PC, so the WiFi does not start among other things. Also I am no longer able to log into the desktop, so I am not able to emove XBMC from the start-up of the computer. If I exit XBMC I get to the log-in screen for the desktop, but when I log in it starts XBMC directly.
How can I remove it via the terminal? I cannot find a .config directory, any autostart, any .xsession, .xinitrc or anything else that looks like startup-script. How can I get access to my desktop again?

Same deal running /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf (which might be the new way Slack connects to things).
Not sure if it's important, but I have a little indicator light on my laptop that tells me if wireless is running. Before I try dhcpcd, the light is on. After it times out, the light goes out and I have to redo everything (ifconfig wlan0 up etc....) in order to get the light back on.

I have both ubuntu and kde-desktop installed, and after trying KDM, switched back to GDM which worked fine for a while (although KDE changed my other gnome settings like usplash and cursors which took a while to change back). A day later, though, when I start up my system, the screen flickers a few times then shows me a message that an x-server is already running, so hit no to try loading it on '0' again or yes to try another number.
If I hit no, it will briefly show me the KDE login screen refresh a few times and go back to the menu. If I hit yes, it refreshes about 7 times and finally shows the gnome login screen. This process takes a long time and I'm not sure is great for my screen.
Before karmic while I was using Jaunty, I used to do it all the time, play my favorite sounds wherever I was them, startup, error, login, logout, etc etc... I found it in System>Preferences>Sound...
But when I do the same in Karmic, the opening dialogue box doesn't give me an option to change every sound specifically, instead, although it gives me option to choose a sound theme of my own. But for that I must first compile a theme and then install it / place it in sound themes directory etc etc.
How would I change sounds for particular events without having to compile a whole new theme (customizing the current Ubuntu sound theme)...
how do I create sound themes for Ubuntu and them install them in my Ubuntu?
