Is it possible your Xauthority file is corrupted? startx should generate a new one if it is missing, so... mv -iv ~/.Xauthority Xauthority.OLD startx "man xauth" might give you some other clues.

Linux and Windows XP :-)
by Jerry Feldman 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

My system at work is dual booted to SuSE 9.2 Professional and Windows XP. I was sharing the 2 desktop systems over a KVM until a week or so ago when I got a TFT monitor, and gave the KVM to someone else. The Keyboard and Mouse that came with this system are USB, but the old stuff was PS/2. I plugged in the new Monitor, Keyboard and mouse, booted up to SuSE, and everything came up perfectly. :-))))) Then, to test Windows XP, rebooted, the XP boot loader gave me the presentation for normal and safe modes. But, one I came up in the ctrl-alt-delete splash screen, neither the keyboard nor the mouse worked. Maybe the system is telling me not to use XP :-) -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

I've looked at the NAT stuff suggested by another. Shouldn't that be setup automatically by the yast firewall config?? Thanks, Jim PS: Please excuse any formatting problems. I've also got a mail send problem and have to use the net interface to my account.

SUSE on small machine
by Glenn Holmer 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

I'm trying to get SUSE 9.2 to install on an old machine with just 64M of core and no CD-ROM drive. OK, I built the half-dozen floppy images on another machine and went to install from that machine over HTTP. The install starts, warning me to add swap first (which I do, as there's already a Linux swap partition available), but then it just hangs with the progress bar about 3/4 filled. Is this even possible in 64M? -- ========================================================= Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ========================================================= I am closing down.

RE: [SLE] place for final commands -- nfs mounts
by James D. Parra 02 Mar '05

Thank you. I found something interesting which may be preventing nfs from importing nfs mount points from /etc/fstab at boot up. chkconfig -a nfs insserv: There is a loop between service named and nfs nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off What is happening with named and nfs?

Can't login as my normal user
by Your Name 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I was doing some maintenance on my home network and logged out of my normal user, then did a reboot. After the reboot, I go up to init 3 (which is normal on this box). After logging in as that user, startx blanks the screen for a few seconds then pops back to the command line. There are no warnings or errors displayed or in any log files that I've checked. If I login as root and do "init 5", I get the graphical login screen. Trying to login as my normal user pops right back to that screen too. I can login as other users. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, Jim

ethtool settings on computer boot
by Ryan McCain 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I've searched the archives of the mailing list but havent found a definitive answer to this question. How can I issue this command during system boot: ethtool -s eth1 autoneg off duplex full .. I tried putting it in /etc/boot.local, but apparently boot.local runs before the network settings are touched. OS: SLES 8 kernel: 2.4.x Thanks, Ryan

I am having trouble with my Apache2 installation on SuSE 9.2 "rcapache2 status" reports that it is running but when I connect to "localhost:80/" I get the following messages in konqueror: "An error occurred while loading http://localhost:80/:" *and* "Connection to host localhost is broken."
