Software :: When Attempting To Test The Configuration File By Using X Showing Dotted Black?
May 13, 2009
I recently installed Gentoo on my desktop & have been attempting to get Xorg working properly.
I ran the "Xorg -configure" tool, but when attempting to test the configuration file by using X (X -config /root/xorg.conf.new), X starts properly & I see the dotted black / white screen & X cursor.
The issue is that I have no keyboard or mouse input (I tried this with 2 separate keyboards, one USB & one PS2. My PS/2 keyboard LED's actually turned off when testing X).
Basically, I need to restart my system whenever I attempt to test my Xorg.conf.
I checked the file (don't currently have it accessible, as I'm at work), and found nothing wrong with the configuration.

I am exploring the Python 3 standard library and am currently attempting to test the bin function. It converts an integer into a binary string. I believe the module I wrote is flawed somehow. Here's the source code:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python3.1
#This module tests the bin() function.
import sys
def get_input():
x = input("Enter an integer: ")
def use_bin():
[code]....
As you can see, the binary form given is always 0b10111. I'm no expert on binary code (or hexadecimal notation), but surely 9000 and two would have different results?
EDIT: Added a line in the module to repeat back what integer the user entered, and then the binary form. It would appear that no matter what integer the user enters, Python thinks it's "23".
Example output:
Code:
>>>
Enter an integer: 1
You entered 23
The binary form of this integer is 0b10111
>>>

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

and use the command line tool /home/mosty/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /home/mosty/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables

Every time me or another user uses the "log out" option were faced with a black screen that does not go away, unless the computer is restarted. i've left it for an hour thinking it might have just slowed down or something but that was a no go, and it happens each time you try to use it. the strange thing is if the black screen is up programs still run. i have a media server running most of the time and i have no problem accessing it while the black screen is showing.
Another problem im having is that sometimes when a user logs in they have no sound. the sound icon is showing that no sound is installed, but when another user logs in there is no problem and sound works fine.
Lastly i dont know if this is a feature or a problem. the first user to log in will always have control over the network connection. for example if my mother logs in first the icon to switch connections will show up on the top of her screen and she has full access to what connections she wants to use, also her account is just a basic user account. now when i log in i wont have the network icon on the top of my screen, and my account is the main admin account.

So I got my Fedora 12 (kernel 2.6.31.5-127.fc12) server behind router with static IP. My router configured so it redirects all ports queries to local adress appropriate ports and local adress is in DmZ.Iam trying to setup DNS on my server. My domain name provider already got domain name server pointed at my routers static IP.Then I used manuals and configured named as follows:

This is a follow-on to "samba write failure crashes linux". It has the dmesg output when the write failure occurs.The remote server is os/2 v4.50 fp3.The failure occurred in this instance attempting to write a file from the localhost to a samba-mounted resource on a remote host. The failure always happens when at least 3 MB have been transferred. Smaller files are not a problem.
Other cases:
1. Saving any email (thunderbird) attachments to the localhost,
2. Downloading anything to the localhost using Firefox.
The most notable aspect are the phrases "kernel BUG" and "invalid opcode".

I've recently installed Debian v8.1 and installed Nvidia driver 340.46. In nvidia-settings I am able to enable my second monitor and enable it/set it's position..etc. My second monitor is not being detected in Debian Display and is 'on' but only showing a black screen. I've tried researching and implementing various 'fixes', but I'm not having any luck.
I'm running dual GTX 570's with a monitor plugged into one each (DVI). I noticed in my xorg.conf under Section "Screen" I have an option "MultiGPU" "Off"; would this be part of the issue?
I've tried:
- purging all nvidia drivers and re-installing
- installing different versions of nvidia drivers
- add nomodeset in grub

I installed some weeks ago Fedora 14 via burnt iso file downloaded from official Fedora site. It was working perfectly like a charm for me until yesterday when I tried to install zend server for PHP.During my first try of installation of zend server it corrupted out my apache server and I lost apache on http://localhost.I removed all "zend-server" like stuff from "Add Remove Software" screen.
Installed again apache 2 in the form of LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql Php)via terminal. Apache installed correctly and started workeing again ok on localhost.n again I tried to install zend server from install.sh file in downloaded zend server installation. It showed me after a while like "zend server installed successfully".I shut down my pc thinking everything is ok now.
Today when I started my system, it shows me boot screen of Fedora, I select fedora and then it shows me baloon filling up for around 5-7 secs. Then all of a sudden a black screen appears up with a cursor blinking at its top left and then nothing else happens further. I cannot find login screen to my desktop anymore.I remember one thing thating reinstallation of apache from terminal, I set following command like "chkconfig --level 235 httpd" (I guess that's what I have written as per some online tutorial for LAMP). Is that cause of mine problem ot its something else?

when I boot and login to a fresh install of Ubuntu, everything goes fine, the login screen appears, I login. Then the cursor appears on a black screen. This is normal. Then when the desktop should appear, on the very left edge of the screen, about 5 pixels in size, you can see the panel and the rest of the desktop. But I stress, You still see the cursor. In this small area, you can right click as you, even click on the menu and it will come down, you can see it. I can click on Ubuntu SC and the cursor will turn to a loading symbol. But then nothing again. I can press Ctrl + Alt + F2 and terminal will come on fine. So far, this has happened on a live CD of Maverick, A live USB of Maverick, A Natty Narwhal Fresh Install, A Maverick Fresh install, A Karmic Old Install and That same Karmic After going through a Distro upgrade via Ctrl + Alt + F2 to 11.04. I've gotten all the updates for all of them (A slow, bandwidth wasting process), and this doen't happen on other computers, even ones with lower graphics cards then mine. Additionally, on the same computer on a seperate partion, I can load my main Maverick just fine, Indicateing that it can't be a hardware problem. After searching across the internet, I'm at loss to an answer.

I could upgrade openSUSE 11.4 on my desktop but when trying to do the same procedure on my girlfriend's laptop, after the zypper update part (and the reboot asked), now we can get it to boot.
After selecting suse from GRUB it shows some code (too fast to be read) then black screen forever. I erased the VGA option before booting and now it gets stuck in
Code:
[0.490266][<c02037a6>] kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10
We don't have any idea of what to do ;__;

I have a problem with booting from a USB flash drive. I have Acer TimelineX 3820TG. I have Windows 7 Home from Acer and I installed Mandriva OS from USB(from USB because this Acer doen't have a DVD drive). It was OK, but I want reinstall Windows 7 and so I did. Now I have Windows 7 Professional and it wrote over Mandriva's GRUB. It wasn't a big problem. For a while I was just using Windows 7 but now I am thinking that I need some OS with Linux and I am thinking about Ubuntu. But when I tried to boot from USB with Ubuntu I get a black screen with a blinking cursor after the BIOS POST.
I was trying many applications to create a bootable USB drive and many versions of Ubuntu (and other Linux distributions), but nothing worked. I tried to Google for answers but I found many problems where all booting goes to black screen but in my problem Windows 7 boots fine from disc but from USB doesn't work.

Setting up my Squeeze test box, I can't seem to get APache2 to find index.html. It keeps coming up with the initial "It works!" page.
On my Squeeze server, the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file contains this line:
DocumentRoot /home/www_local
and that box serves the website perfectly.
On the test box, I created the /home/www_local directory and put an index.html file in it, then populated /etc/apache2/httpd.conf with exactly the same DocumentRoot line and restarted Apache. Still the same result -- Apache isn't finding my index.html file. I have grep'ed all the files in /etc/apache2 and /etc/apache2/conf.d looking for 'DocumentRoot' and it's not in any of them.

I'm doing some tests and playing around with postfix in a test squeeze server. What I want to achieve is a postfix mail server using ports 465 and 587 with smtp authentication to send mails. I followed this howto: [URL].. and I'm using a php script with pear functions to test sending emails to a gmail test account of mine. This is the script:
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "Webmaster <webmaster@server>";
$to = "My Name <myaccount@gmail.com>";
$subject = "This is sent with pear as a test";
$body = "This is the body of the message";

I want to copy files from an incoming directory, but don't want to copy a file if it hasn't finished being written. I thought of using fuser, but it doesn't seem to be very reliable. I vi'd a file in one window and then ran fuser against the file name and got nothing back. I'm just writing a simple bourne script on RHEL.

I just installed Debian 6 on a server and when the server powers up, it shows me all the accounts I created in order for me to choose and login under an account, except for the root account. At the colo where the server is going, they need the root account at the login screen.

I went to see if the iPhone was connected and it wasn't listed--and she was now on my wireless network, on the Internet. For the past month, I have experienced slow Internet (the Qwest people came over three times to fix the problem, to no avail.) And, when my laptop and desktop are turned off, the modem still shows activity, as if someone was downloading large files. Qwest insists that my network is secure and no one is using my network (and my house was built in 1997, so the wiring is fairly new and I have had NO issues with Internet/phone and had Qwest service longer than I can remember).
To make a long story short, I am concerned that my router has been hacked. I live in a rural area, so there's no teenagers or weird-o's around that I know of that would do that (unlike city/suburban areas)--and my Linksys router is "lying" to me, as my nephew was ON MY NETWORK and the SSID, MAC address and IP number was not listed on the LAN device list--only my laptop/desktop are listed, and she was happily checking emails on my network. I have changed my WPA2 password three times just in case, no fix.

I'm working on testing some software, and I have a question. We have several files of binary data that we need to push through our application to test. It communicates via simple TCP sockets. Is there a way I can send this data to the socket from the command line? I tried doing something like this, but telnet never picked up the data.
