I just setup a dual boot on my laptop with Windows 7 and Slackware 13.1
I've been using Slax for one of my web programming classes and I got tired of booting from a live CD all the time so I decided to just use Slackware. When I try and connect to the localhost page, I get a cannot connect error page. Why?
I've tried searching for this peculiar behavior, but couldn't find a solution that works for it - I have installed Redhat on my system and have a listener running on port 7878. I wanted to check if the port is accessible from a machine on the network, and so i telnet-ed from a remote machine and it worked. Now comes the weird problem - I used the same command (telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 7878) locally and it was able to telnet. However, if I try to connect using localhost, meaning, "telnet localhost 7878" or "telnet 127.0.0.1 7878", it gives me the following error:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Here is my /etc/hosts entry:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
[Code]....
Not sure where the problem is. I expect telnet to connect irrespective of whether i use the IP address OR localhost when i use telnet locally.
I recently installed Ubuntu (normal version) on to my netbook (Samsung N140) and I'm sharing my wireless connection over ethernet to my desktop using the method outlined in the Ubuntu wiki on ICS.
However, I do Ruby on Rails development, so run a local server on the netbook. I found out yesterday while working remotely that I cannot access 'localhost:3000' while I have no internet connection, and I get an error about 'sendmsg: operation not permitted' if I try to ping localhost. Likewise, I cannot access 127.0.0.1 the same way.
it was not working and ping is not reply me and I add ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 it is working and getting ping but when reboot it is lost setting how can I set it for always ping working.
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 later

now working but IWant reboot later working about same. how can I setting it boot start this .
I have been using my laptop as a development machine for a few months now, developing php/mysql applications, and testing them offline via the same laptop by pointing the browser to url.
But a few days ago, my url stopped working and I discovered that it will now only work if I have an active internet connection plugged in. Why has this happened and how to I fix my test server so localhost works with or without an internet connection via an ethernet cable.
I am trying this with Slackware 12.0. I am trying to send mails to a user on my own machine... for example $ mail root #root or other user, it's the same (write subject and body) and it looks like the mail has been sent, by then I write mail and i've got no new mail..tried
mail root@localhost
mail root@slackware #slackware is how my machine is called (`hostname` told me :P)
mail root@127.0.0.1
and none of them worked... after hours trying to solve this, i thought i needed an smtp sever... so i started up sendmail but using mail didn't worked... i connected with netcat to port 25 and sendmail answered.. I send a mail with netcat, and sendmail said it was all ok.. but i didn't recived anything. then i realized that the mails where in queue... /var/spool/mqueue here is what sendmail tells me (i remove all the mails in mqueue and i only post 1 here)
Code:
$ sendmail -q -v
WARNING: local host name (slackware) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I?

I am a newbie in Linux. I have Fedora 13 OS 32 bits. I am working with PowerDNs and Poweradmin. How can I configure this with PowerDNS?
1. Allow localhost recursion but deny recursion to external clients. Is there a tutorial for that?
2. Set up cache nameserver for localhost (like caching-nameserver in Bind).
Is there a tutorial for that?
3. My Master Server with PowerDNS is working well from localhost but external clients cannot access it.
I have iptables with these rules:

I'm trying to bring my Slackware system back to life as my XP HDD is dying... I've got everything working except for my audio. I got a new motherboard (ASRock P43DE3) and it has a VIA VT1708S as the onboard audio. Is there any way I can get this working without rebuilding the kernel?

I am able to load the module and connect to any network, but its almost as soon as I try to load a page the connection drops. It never stays connected for more than 30 seconds. My other computers using the same adapter in the same spot work fine, unfortunately there not running slackware. I've tried compiling the newest stable kernel and checked the rd.inet1.conf settings.

I have Slackware 13.1 with kernel 2.6.37. Everything is working fine, except that I can't mount any CD/DVD and automount is not working either. If I connect any USb to my laptop it doesn't automount, I need to manually mount it. The same case happens with CD/DVD only that I can't mount any CD/DVD even manually. Here's the output:
Code:
bash-4.1# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

I installed vmplayer, run the bundle script, couldn't see what got installed where, just as in Windows so it seemed. There is no uninstall script I started vmplayer and got a list of messages.

Some modules are missing in the generic kernel.As well as a 'VMware module kernel updater' screen saying that the Kernel headers for version 2.6.29.5-smp were not found. They are clearly present..

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know there are SlackBuild scripts for installing LibreOffice, but I wanted to compile my own packages. So I downloaded the RPMS and then converted them using rpm2tgz and used pkgtool to install all the packages.
Until then everything was fine. No warnings, no errors. But when I tried to run the various applications e.g. Impress, Writer etc. It didn't work. When I try to open any application, nothing happens. Just the icon bounces beside the KDE cursor for sometime.
I'm looking forward to see the new 13.1 Slackware release although I always stay -current. Just a quick one I've found: When the RC1 was announced the mc-20100509_git-i486-1 broke the standard use of

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was reluctant to start yet another sound thread, but after days of searching sites and reading mini HOWTO's I'm still mute. I have tried configuring ALSA via:
# alsaconf
# /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start
# alsamixer - all relevant sliders unmuted...
# alsactl store
...and still nothing. KDE reports that 'Audio playback device ALC889 does not work.' My kmix app doesn't even start. At boot I get this message 3 times:
"ALL CONFIG FILES NEED /etc/modprobe.d/sound - it will be ignored in a future release"
Even starting xmms brings up 'Check that - your soundcard is configured properly/the correct plugin is selected/no other program is blocking the soundcard'. btw, Windows reports I have an ALC888, not a 889. KDE lists it as present as both digital and analog, and the legacy system (whatever it is) as well as esound, but none work. I certainly had no difficulty with S11.
I am a newbie in Slackware. This is my first try to make working system on slackware. I made internet connection by help netconfig. Internet is working but not always. To example I try download page but it doesn't. I push Update page .. and one more time Update page and after 3-4 times my page is downloaded. When I work with windows on this computer, I don't have any problem.

i have problem to get my 5.1 surround sound card to work properly on Slackware 13.37 with example the Mplayer, Spotify or even when watching movie-clips at .....s. I have searched through forum but havent find any solutions to this problem.I have tested my sound card and it seems to work properly when executing "speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -t wav" in the terminal. I have saved the ALSA settings through "alsactl store". But like i said, it still doesnt work with explicitly programs like Mplayer or Spotify, it still plays the sound as 2.1 (stereo).
