I upgraded to qt 4.7.1 and it broke X. So I reverted to the older version of qt, and x is still broken! when I run startx I get the following error:
Code:
xauth: file /(user)/.serverauth.2474 does not exist
.
on boot I got a message that (part of) level 5 was skipped, and I ended up on console. So I tried startx but get this message (probably the reason boot failed also):
xauth: file /home/kostas/.serverauth.3396 does not exist
Fatal server error:Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"

xinit: giving up

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Slackware 13 x86_4. I have it set so that when I close my lid, it suspends to RAM. When I open my lid, it asks for password, but after I enter it, it freezes. I force KDE down by Ctrl+Alt+Backspace then read the errors. It says:
Code:
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/ridwan/.Xauthority
rm: cannot remove '/home/ridwan/.serverauth.3457': Read-only file system
When I try to startx again, it says

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got a problem with my Slackware installation after upgrading to slackware-current. I made a clean 13.1 install on my laptop, then I logged in as root, connected to the net and upgraded to slackware-current. Then, after rebooting, I try to log in to kde as root but I get this error:
Code:
kdestartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 127. Check your installation. After getting these errors, I made a completely new fresh installation but I got the same errors again.
I even added another user with the adduser command just in case that was the problem but that didn't help. I can't log in to KDE.
I just installed slackware, and I configured it to automatically boot into x without first checking to make sure x would work. I started X, and I'm not quite sure what's wrong with it, but it's messed up, and I don't know how to get out of it

I can't think what i've done to make my sound suddenly pack in. One minute all is working well, then its not anymore. The only thing I did in between was install claws-mail yesterday. This evening an error mssage popped up and now no sound.
My card is HDA Intel; The error when i open Kmixer is -
GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem.
Does anyone have current running with X on old ATI hardware? I have a laptop with ATI Mobile M7 and X completely fails to load. There are no errors in the Xorg log file. No failed modules or failure to load a module. The last line in the Xorg log says something to the effect of "VGA0 does not support DRI2".
When monitoring the processes while I start X, I can see xinit load, then X. After the line above is added to the log file, X dies. This is so bad that it takes my entire display with it so I cannot switch terminal. I cannot restart a tty session from a remote connection. The only way to get the display back is to reboot.
I tried the suggestions form this thread to no avail. Recompiling the kernel with "CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y" also had no effect. To get a working system I had to roll back to X from Slack 13, which works fine with current.
Did i missed something with the upgrade? Anything else I should try?
System info
Code:
Slackware-current 32 (with X from Slackware 13)

Ever since I upgraded to Slackware 13.1, my previously functional pcHDTV card worked fine. Since the upgrade, however, I get nothing from tvtime except a blue screen and "No Signal."
I saw this thread, which led me to try rmmod'ing related modules for video4linux and my card, but modprobe'ing everything back in didn't solve the issue.
this morning after the latest updates for slackware-current my mrtg-2.15.2 from slackbuilds failed with
Code:
Bareword "P_DETACH" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 1133.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/mrtg line 89. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/mrtg line 89. As there's currently no newer version for mrtg on slackbuilds, i downloaded mrtg-2.17.0.tar.gz from oetiker's page and compiled it. Changing path in crontab and it works well.
Running 12.2 on fluxbox, it seems the latest pidgin update has messed with my dock icon- it's no longer the pidgin icon, now I believe it's a generic one. It's not REALLY a big deal, but it kind of bugs me...
Where is this set/how do I go about fixing it?
My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.
This script is the result.
I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:
Code:
i'm running debian lenny - latest stable i have recently installed smartcam (mobile phone as webcam over bluetooth) from .deb package , get errors of unmet dependency , but application works like a charm, unfortunately broken dependences block my aptitude , i cant fix them either as latest stable use older versions of dependences even in backports... how do i mark smartcam package as not broken and release my apt?

I was having a problem with a fresh 11.04 install and the VPN software I use for work. I found the fix was to upgrade the software, so I downloaded an RPM, converted it to .deb and installed it via dpkg. The install worked and the VPN software now works, but Package Manager says I have a broken package and wants to 'upgrade' to the older broken one. How can I fix this without breaking my VPN SW again?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 9 on my kids' computer a while back and usually the computer boots up and goes directly into Ubuntu. However, this morning when they booted it up, the following error message displayed: "The GDM user 'gdm' does not exist. Please correct GDM configuration and restart GDM." It seems that they had inadvertently messed up some configuration files. After pressing 'OK' it asked me for my user name and password, which I supplied, but that didn't work either. So, either I've forgotten my password or my kids seriously messed up their computer, so much so that I can even work with it in command line. I was thinking about simply reinstalling Ubuntu and possibly updating to version 10, but I'd rather not lose the files on the computer. Thus my question: Does anyone see a way of not losing my and my kids' files while getting back into Ubuntu?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was trying to install gcc, and it sorta worked, but not really.. Im a student, and we were using an ada server that had 'gcc' already installed, so that we could cd to a directory and then 'gcc -o NAME FILEPATH' I tried to recreate this set up on my machine with Fedora 11... on my mac it is installed automatically and can be accessed from the terminal. How do I do it in Fedora? I downloaded 'gcc-4.6.0', I ran 'configure' from the gcc directory and a lot of text scrolled by really fast.. but then afterwards it said something failed...
but its weird, cuz I can write a simple 'c' program and gcc it from the terminal and it compiles.. it just gives me warnings about everything.. saying that packages like 'cstdio.h' do no exist.. warnings tho, not errors.. and it still runs.
I have a compiled program, a tagger to identify parts of text, which claims it does not exist.This executable has to be called by a generated script, which is how I ran into this issue. What are the reasons this error could show up?The executable was copied from another machine.The file does have execution privileges (it gives a proper not-allowed message without them)I've tried copying the file to a different location (same problem)I've tried replacing the file with a fresh copy (same problem)The file does exist. Opening it with pico shows a file with binary data.
