Software :: Faxgetty Not Starting From Inittab?
Feb 9, 2010
I've installed and setup Hylafax in PCLOS 2009.2 I can get it to all work if from a console I su as root and type faxgetty ttyS0 the console is "locked" running faxgetty until I kill it. But while it is running everything works.
in my inittab there was a commented line at bottom #t0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0
I have uncommented it, saved it, restarted PC but faxgetty is not running. Is there some logging on inittab that may highlight the problem,

I've updated a Fedora Core 3 server to Fedora 11. The old FC3 had an external modem attached for when we felt like dialing in for a ppp connection. I've replicated login.config, mgetty.config and dialin.config from the old server and had to put a RS232-to-USB adapter on the modem. I've test connected to the server and everything look fine.
I'm have a difficult time starting the getty session from inittab.
/etc/inittab:
Code:
id:5:initdefault:
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
[Code]...

I'm using slack13 and have changed entry in inittab from
Code:
id:3:initdefault:
to
Code:
id:4:initdefault:
to login straight to window system. However after that sound is gone. When I go to mixer it says that audio device cannot be used 'might be access problem'. So I've changed entry to what it was and starting X11 by 'startx' and then sound works again.

I have a new CentOS 5.6 installation. It was installed in text mode. I have changed the line id:3:initdefault: in /etc/inittab to id:5:inittab. Even after that change, gdm does not start automatically. gdm is installed, and can be started from the command line. I have put DISPLAYMANAGER="GNOME" and DESKTOP="GNOME" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop.
I would like to get gdm to start automatically.
I observer that rhgb is running after startup:
[root@host ~]# ps axu |grep rhgb
root 3830 0.0 0.0 165676 10816 ? Ss 12:10 0:00 /usr/bin/rhgb
root 3840 0.0 0.0 87976 7996 tty8 Ss+ 12:10 0:07 /usr/bin/Xorg -s off

We have to run our applications under /etc/inittab, we can get coredump with os solaris. After we move our platform to LINUX, we just find our application reset itself for a couple of times without any coredump generate.

In Fedora 8
File: /etc/inittab contained
S0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/vgetty ttyS1
In Fedora 13
Created folder: /etc/event.d
Created files: /etc/event.d/ttyS0
[Code]....
Neither faxgetty or vgetty start on reboot or changing runlevel. How do you implement the equivalent of the old inittab function?

I'm using Fedora 15. For some reason, my computer is booting up graphically. I do not have video drivers for a graphical setup apparently now that Gnome is getting more advanced, so I really need to restore to a CLI. I see /etc/inittab is now deprecated thanks to systemd. The instructions say the following:
Code:
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target
# systemd uses 'targets' instead of runlevels. By default, there are two main targets:
# multi-user.target: analogous to runlevel 3
# graphical.target: analogous to runlevel 5
To set a default target, run:
# ln -s /lib/systemd/system/<target name>.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
And that's exactly what I have set up!
Code:
[root@server system]# pwd
/etc/systemd/system
[root@server system]# ls -la
total 20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37
May 31 10:41 default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
Why is this machine starting up graphically? I even removed the symlink and recreated it... but that obviously isn't the issue here.

I was using V9 and upgrade to V10 and now my logins in my inittab do not work. I realize that is file structure is outdated so I made individual run files for each of my serial devices under event.d ( such as TX0000 - rc....etc) - all this works but i need to manual type initctl start TX000o to get logon for my serial devices. I would so much like them to automatically start on bootup.

When I rebooted my system (RHEL 5.3 x86_64), I got the following error when it was booting up:
Code:
Full screenshot of the bootup error messages here: previous bootup error
So to try and fix this, I booted from the OS disk and did a linux rescue.
Here's some of the results of the commands I did:
Code:
Here's a screenshot of the output from fsck after it's done, notice it says 0 bad blocks but the system was modified:fsck results
I then reboot but now I get the errors:
Code:
Full screenshot of the startup errors I get now here: current bootup error
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Was the fsck I did initially the correct thing to do to fix that initial group descriptor error or did I make things worse?

I installed OS11.4 on my old laptop, Compaq Armada E500., 512MB RAM, ATI Rage Mobility. During installation I chose "minimal server" and added some development packages, lxde and a little more. I chose to start in runlevel 3 which is full networking without X. Still, when computer is booted it tries to start Xorg which doesn't work because of some problem w driver. The start-up seems to stop there, it never loads completely - seems most things in runlevel 3 are not started (see below) I can manually login on laptop and fix it - but never permanently, same thing again after reboot.
I have checked /etc/inittab & yast - both states default runlevel is 3. I have checked services to be started both directly, browsing directory /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/, and with YaST, it is very clear X should not load during boot. But, as said, it does.. I don't really care about the driver problem right now, I can fix that later when I have more time. So how do I stop X from getting started automatically?
More info, if needed: The installation also stopped with message on tty1 "Starting YaST2" and tty8 showing errors with graphics driver (mach64). The system seemed to be installed though, so I simply rebooted (issuing "reboot" from tty2).
[Code]....
I'm not completely sure where it stops, network is configured but keyboard is wrong and mysql & everything after is not started, so somewhere between S02network and S06kbd. I'm going to use it as a server for testing purposes so no X is actually needed - however I do want to have X & lxde installed just in case, my Internet connection at home is terribly slow so I need most things I might need in the future installed today.

I work on a product that have to start automatically an application. Running Opensuse 11.2 So in the inittab I have : 1:2345:once:/root/Velox/VeloxBoot.sh 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
In the VeloxBoot.sh, if I don't press any key, my application starts after a timeout. If the user presses a key I want to have a login prompt. Unfortunately, if I start /bin/login, I have a prompt with login, but once I enter my login, it does not ask for a password and it says wrong password

hello everyone, im having a problem when my computer enters in the run level 4 as the default when i start slackware. The strange thing is that it not seems that is a X window problem, it looks like more like a configuration problem in some part of the kde script to initialize the log in, because if i manually start the X service it works fine, i dont know what is the source. Thank you in advance for the help.

When I first boot up my machine and log in or close my laptop lid then open it, after about half a minute in gnome my entire desktop begins to lag. It lasts for a few minutes then it's completely gone and doesn't happen again until next boot or if I close then reopen my laptop. It's a really bad lag too, where the mouse is practically umovable and I can't click anything.
I have an hp g60-549dx with a duel core 64-bit pentium 4 and an intel gma 4500M.
My Kernel is 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64
Compiz is enabled and after that lag everything runs flawlessly.
So far I've tried making an xorg.conf and changing the AccelMethod as recommended here, [url], but it didn't work.

I just installed debian 8.0.0..I installed it without "desktop-environment" during tasksel, but instead installed it with "sudo apt-get install xorg gnome-core" atferwards.I want x-win to be present but I do not want it to start during boot.
Adding "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=text" to the grub config used to work but for this new debian it does not change anything. Yes, I did do update-grub2 after editing the grub file, and I also confirmed in /var/log/messages that "text" is present with the kernel command. "sudo update-rc.d gdm3 remove" also has no effect,what I do gnome starts at boot time.

I have an installation of F12 where I used VMM to create and run four virtual machines.
If I set the machines to start at boot in VMM, but set my host to not boot all the way into X, the VMs don't boot.
IS that suppoed to be that way? Does VMM's auto-boot of VMs depend on some X or GNOME stage?
If so, what's the best way to fire up the VMs such that it doesn't conflict with any subsequent use of startx? (Don't eant to end up with double the machines just because I had a need to fire up X on the host.)
