<0> Cognition: Oh? Tell more!
<1> sbin
<2> and that dchpd is running on the router
<3> any ideas anybody ?
<1> you have to be root to use something in sbin
<2> sudo
<1> sudo blah blah
<0> cusco: I was surfing the internet with that computer using Slack earlier today.
<4> give me a second to try and figure out a solutiono
<1> Cancel: are you there bro ?
<5> no
<6> davimar: /etc/init.d/xdm stop && /etc/init.d/gdm start # maybe
<1> ok
<4> the_ruthless: do you have a file /etc/modules ?
<1> Cancel: are you here then ?
<5> no
<1> hmm
<1> I have to be specific
<3> this is funny
<3> when i went into init.d
<3> and typed xdm stop
<3> it started xdm
<3> lol
<3> cause i was in console
<6> That isn't what should happen.
<3> holy cow
<6> Oh well, stop it for real, and try and start gdm.
<3> now when i click log out
<3> it just goes back to the login screen
<0> Cognition: yes, I have.
<3> the one with no ability to switch to other desktops
<6> I thought that was where you started at?
<0> Cognition: the contents are "lp" and "psmouse".
<6> How were you getting the login screen before, if not automatically?
<3> at least before i could get a console
<6> davimar: ctrl-alt-F1 it, then
<3> back to the console
<4> the_ruthless: edit it, add this word in a new line dmfe
<3> good
<6> davimar: when you cd to a directory and type xdm that doesn't run the xdm in that directory
<6> It runs the xdm in the path
<0> Cognition: "Can't open file to write."
<6> Now "killall xdm"
<4> the_ruthless: sudo or super user
<6> Or ctrl-C it if you can
<3> ok
<3> i think it killed or stopped gdm
<3> i mean xdm
<6> Welllll, you want gdm, not xdm.
<6> try /etc/init.d/gdm start
<3> gdm is running somewhere
<6> or just gdm
<6> alt-F8 ?
<6> alt-F7 ?
<6> Just flick around a bit and see if it's there.
<3> no i dont see it.
<6> If you look at ps aux and see if there's a gdm in it.
<4> the_ruthless: still trying?
<3> yes
<3> a gdm running pid 887
<0> Cognition, It won't let me be a super user or anything.
<4> what happens when you su?
<6> davimar: Does it tell you the params of that gdm?
<3> the pid
<3> 887
<3> 0 .3 32788 1216
<3> sorry
<3> 3788
<3> not much more.
<3> let me try rebooting shutdown -r now
<0> Cognition: just "su" gives me "su: Authentication failure. Sorry." "su theruthless" asks me my p***word and lets me proceed.
<6> the_ruthless: What about sudo su ?
<0> Okay, that worked.
<0> Cognition: Now what? I have edited and saved the file.
<4> the_ruthless: added the dmfe?
<3> yes.
<0> Cognition, yeah.
<3> you are wonderful.
<3> now i can show them that the web and email are better on linux so i can keep it.
<3> lol.
<3> what worked:
<4> the_ruthless: now edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
<3> shutdown -r now then exiting twm to console then gdm start from /etc/init.d
<0> Cognition, just what will I do with that file?
<3> i know that seems simple to you guys ...
<4> add the following: blacklist tulip
<3> but i'm a linux idiot.
<3> lol.
<3> which is better ?
<3> kde ?
<6> davimar: You cd'd to /etc/init.d and typed gdm start?
<3> or gnome ?
<1> davimar: that makes two of us
<1> davimar: it's up to you
<0> Cognition: and then just save again?
<4> yes
<6> davimar: That doesn't run the gdm in /etc/init.d !!!!!
<4> now reboot, and cross your fingers
<1> davimar: some people like gnome, some like kde
<3> i vi'd into .xsession and couldn't find any info.
<7> Hi, can someone help me about synflood protection please ?
<1> it's a matter of taste
<3> on the default desktop being run
<3> i'm almost scared to play with that agian.
<3> lol.
<4> DMA77: yes, someone can help you about synfloog protection
<6> davimar: Are you listening to me? When you cd to a directory and type a program name, it doesn't search in the current directory.
<3> o.
<0> Cognition: I'm rebooting. So what is the actual bug?
<3> how do you change the screen size ?
<3> it's like 1700 x 1900
<3> i can barely read it.
<3> but the console is fine.
<3> only xwindows is fubarred.
<1> lol @ fubarred
<7> Cognition: Yes, I am being flooded with syn my web server and i wonder if there is a script that will work with that.
<3> i really want to use linux.
<3> my reason is simple.
<3> microsoft turned off my windows xp, even though i own it.
<3> so i owuld have to put windows 98 back on my pc
<3> i tried to call microsoft
<3> but a robot answered the phone
<0> Microsoft is a turn-off, davimar. ;D
<3> and after i did everything it said
<3> it kept saying "sorry i can't help you."
<4> the_ruthless: the big is having two modules that block each other loaded simultaneously
<3> so it's either windows 98 or linux.
<3> and my friend says linux is a lot more powerful.
<0> davimar: problems configuring the X?
<3> yes.
<3> they just helped me get back to a gui desktop
<3> but it's like super tiny
<3> everything.
<0> But your resolution is FUBAR?
<3> it's ok.
<3> i have a magnifying gl*** so i can see what i am clicking on.
<4> davimar: you're better off staying at windows, Linux is more than comfort for us (although it is very comfy for many of us)
<3> you mean the screen can't be made any bigger ?
<3> oh.
<4> the_ruthless: any luck?
<3> theme manager.
<3> background
<3> desktop
<1> davimar: sure you can
<3> kde system control
<3> display controllers
<0> Cognition: it actually works. Thank you.
<4> the_ruthless: you're welcome :)
<6> Cognition: There's no need to tell him to go back to Windows, just because you don't feel like giving ***istance.
<1> Cognition: what was the problem
