Slackware :: Start The Various DE's From Runlevel 3 ?
Mar 19, 2010
I normally boot into runlevel 3. KDE is my default DE. I use
Code:
To open KDE. I would like to give the other DE's (full install of Slackware current) a fair try, but I am having trouble starting the other DE's from the command line. They all work from runlevel 4 using the kdm chooser, but that's just a hassle and in all honesty will likely irritate my lazy-bone to the point of not using them on a regular basis.
Booting into runlevel 4 isn't a good option because I am frequently experimenting and booting to the command line makes troubleshooting easier. What do I need to do to be able to start the other DE's in runlevel 3?

I am using Fedora 13. If I boot directly to runlevel 5, the Fedora progress bar goes all the way across and then just stays at 100% and X never loads. I have to hard-restart the machine. However, if I press 'a' to append the kernel arguments and append the '3' to start in runlevel 3, login at the terminal that is displayed, and then type 'startx', everything works perfectly.

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.

runlevels 2 -5 are identical in Ubuntu. /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf is used instead of /etc/inittab for changing the runlevel. But there's no point doing that since the runlevels are identical. The default runlevel is 2, so I tried to find some service I could disable in /etc/rc2.d. I didn't find anything I could work with.

Sometimes, when I need to affect some quick changes on my box, I boot up in runlevel 1 by adding "single" to my kernel line in the Grub menu. I use Grub because I also have Vista+RHEL+CentOS for operational reasons and then Slack for everything else.Since I upgraded to Slack13 I noticed that this was not working. I assumed that it was because I had installed on a encrypted LV, so I tried it on VirtualBox installs. I tried both on GRUB and LILO on the Virtual Slack. I tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions. It does not work.

KDM does not start after upgrading my Slackware-current 32bit to KDE 4.4 using Alien Bob's packages.
In syslog I get:
Code:
What am I missing? (I used the exact same procedure on a 64bit Slackware-current installation and everything works beautifully)

Actually, Slack64 runs just fine under VirtualBox on my old HP under WinXP, But the installer for Slack86 won't boot under VirtualBox on my Toshiba Netbook under Win7 starter. I tried updating the 13.1 install I have on there, but I get the same kernel panic when I try to reboot that. It always bails just as it is switching over to the new kernel. The dump fills my screen so I can't see the actual error. How can I capture that initial startup log? Slack86 runs just fine on my old Compac Armada 1700 (266PII 92M/12G), but that's a very different environment.

Code:
installpkg fglrx-*******.tgz
But after restart, X could not start,and Keyboard does not respond. Also ,when I try init 3 and remove xorg.conf,The X can start with a low resolution(1024X768).In console mode,I got a high resolution(1366X768). So,is there a confict between fglrx and new kernel or What have I done Wrong?

I have upgraded from 13.1 to 13.37 on three PCs. No problems on 2 of these (home server and laptop), but on the third machine (main Desktop, where most KDE customisation had been done of course), KDE refuses to start for the main user (me). It will start OK for root and xfce will start OK for me, so X is OK with the updated NVIDIA driver that I have also installed. The KDE splash screen starts up and four of the five splash icons come into focus, but the fifth one never does. Some disk rattling goes on for a while but then ceases.
I have tried renaming the .kde folder and .kderc but this has not helped. Are there other KDE config files that I could try renaming / removing? Or are there log files / error messages somewhere that I should consult.
Obviously I am not in a position to change any KDE system settings from the KDE application.
Just tried KDE with a newly-created user and it's the same as with my user - no desktop. So KDE is only starting for root.

When I execute "init 1" not much is happening! The wireless network drops out, but the GUI is still there. It always worked in previous Fedora releases. What is changed now? Does anyone know how to switch between different runlevels in F14?

This probably has been asked many times, if yes I apologize and please someone point me to the old post.
If my FC14 would not boot. And I didn't setup the boot menu, How do I get into run level 1?

I've just install Slack 13 and had been looking into the website for configure info. What is my problem is the #xorgconfig does not start on my system. It says command not found. I had searched for answer on the web and found no answer so I post here for help. Is there anything else I need to install to get my intel graphic card display more then 1024 resolution?

I installed android SDK together with eclipse Helios 3.6.1. I downloaded and installed all android package and setup a virtual device in android 2.1 (then 2.2, 2.3). However, when I click "start" device in "android SDK and avd manager", the dialog appear and then close, but nothing happen more. I also try to run it from console by change to tools directory of android SDK and run, but it also not work, there is only one line of desperate result: "Segmentation fault". I also try to add "-no-audio" as many forums advice, but it just keep the result segmentation fault.
My device I configured to have 32MiB of SD card (and I tried 16MiB or more also). I also created the helloworld application, then try to start it, but it just stop at "Launching a new emulator with Virtual Device a2" (a2 is name of my device), and nothing more happen, I also added "-no-audio" to run configuration but I still there. By now, I have not seen any virtual devices appear. I also tried to uninstall and install again all the packages of android, but nothing help. Here is the screen when I use GDB to figure out where is the fault:

I have 13.37 installed on three PCs. Two nvidia (propriertary driver from Slackbuilds) and one ATI (radeon dirver). Kaffeine 1.1 installed from Slackbuild on all three machines. Runs fine on the ATI box and on one of the nvidia boxes, but fails to start (or provide any messages when command-line started) on the other nvidia box.The box on which it will not start is also the box that has a DVB card in it - which is why I particularly want kaffeine to run there as it has a really easy interface to the TV card which ran just fine under Slack 13.1.
My gut feeling it that the problem is connected to the presence of the TV card which is somehow srewing up initialisation of kaffeine, but (other than removing the card physically) I am not sure how to test this or test whether the card is working. lspci and dmesg shows that it has recognised during boot-up.Any ideas on how I should investigate this? Or on how I can bypass the problem by configuring vlc (which runs fine for dvds and video clips) to view DVB output?

I am using slackware64-current and this morning I have updated my system with using slackpkg. (As you know, huge changes has been applied on the current branch. Kernel, glibc and etc..) Everything went flawness and seems OK. I did not see any error message or somethink like this. After the update, kde does not start. Problem is, after KDM login, nothing happens and turn back to KDM login screen.
To understand what is going on, I switched to init 3 and performed "startx" command. Result is same but I saw some dbus error.
Then I checked whether hald and dbus does run or not and I saw it is running without problem.
Lastly I have removed dbus and hald packages and reinstalled but problem is still running.

I did a clean install, and so far I haven't noticed any serious problems with KDE4, although I can't find what I'm looking for, usually. I don't use my laptop much though. I also did a clean install on another system to 13.0 about the same time. X won't start on that system, it can't figure out the hardware I guess.
So I've just been using the command line. I don't really need a graphical interface on that system anyway. Right now I'm using the motherboard graphics support, but I will probably install a video card in a PCI-E slot and try X again. The system that I just upgraded from 12.2 (LUKS encrypted volumes and LVM) to 13.0 tonight has a number of problems. This was an upgrade, not a clean install. Based on my experience so far on this system, KDE4 does not seem to be ready for prime time. It is buggy, the menu system is more difficult to navigate than KDE3, and there are some apps I just can't find (e.g., Kedit). Overall it seems to have fewer apps than KDE3. Either that or they are well hidden well enough that I can't find them. My first impression was that KDE4 had clean lines and a modern appearance.......

kdevelop doesn't start in Slackware 13.1. The output just says
Code:
...
/usr/bin/kdevelop.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/qt/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so: undefined symbol: sqlite3_open_v2
Relevant packages installed on my system (all unmodified from 13.1):
sqlite-3.6.23.1-i486-1
kdevelop-4.0.0-i486-1
qt-4.6.2_2d3d3e5-i486-1
So it's a problem between sqlite and qt(?). Rebuild needed?
