<0> now i need to poke a hole in iptables..
<1> Viking667: this is all my network file contains: HOSTNAME=jericho.southkc.net
<1> GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
<2> A friend has this problem: when he tries to change between consoles(CTRL+ALT +F1, F2..) he gets this error: SIGNAL FREQUENCY IS PUT OF RANGE FH23.8Khz, FV37.9HZ PLEASE MODIFY SIGNAL TIMING.
<1> Drkynes: what!?!?! I've never even heard of that one... how are they connected to the box? what are they using? telnet/sitting in front of the box/ssh/what?
<3> the kernel's trying to set a vidmode the monitor can't handle.
<1> paultwang: there was a little script that could do it for you
<2> no idea:)
<3> Drkynes: tell him to go back to X
<1> Viking667: hehehe
<3> OptimusPrime: I was actually serious.
<0> YES! the login prompt!
<2> Viking667, and do what?:)
<0> dang i forgot my p***word
<3> Drkynes: now that, I don't know.
<1> Drkynes: oh, tell him to try ALT+F1 and drop the CTRL
<3> OptimusPrime: that won't work either.
<3> Drkynes: what does he need to do?
<2> it works from F1 to F6, but wont work to change from X to F1 :)
<1> Drkynes: na, X will crash pronto
<2> so what should he look for?
<2> he says the monitor switches to stand by
<2> and gets the error from above
<1> Drkynes: I take it thats under X... I don't know what to tell you, Ive never had that problem...that could either be related to console-tools, or the kernel
<1> Drkynes: has he tried another monitor?
<2> I dont think so
<1> Drkynes: ask him to try another monitor.. it shouldn't go in to 'standby'... hes not running something like LinSpire is he?
<2> neah
<1> Drkynes: what is his distro? Gentoo/Redhat/Fedora/what?
<2> Mandrivia
<2> mandriva*
<1> Drkynes: oh, almost as bad as Linspire ;-) na, it's alright... I would ask him to try another monitor and if that doesn't work try updating console-tools and the kernel
<2> yeah, my firest advice for him was go get suse :)
<1> Drkynes: mandriva/mandrake does a lot of 'customizing' of their software so its hard to say if its an error or an option
<0> problem is the X won't let me get past the login screen
<0> using xdm by the way
<1> paultwang: whats the error you get?
<0> none
<1> paultwang: refresh my mem
<0> it just jumps right back to the login box
<0> Welcome to <hostname>
<0> Login: ___
<0> P***word: ___
<1> paultwang: whoa, is this your box? have you considered trying something like GDM or KDM? XDM is pretty dated and not used to often anymore
<1> paultwang: it might not be able to verify the p***word or user info
<0> ok i'll try KDM
<0> kill xdm first?
<1> paultwang: I believe it would be better to run: init 3
<0> and?
<1> paultwang: init 6 is for gui login... or that might be init 5
<1> paultwang: just run : init 3
<4> 6 is reboot
<0> indeed i want to log in graphically remotely
<1> paultwang: it will change your run time to multi-user minus the gui
<4> telinit 3 you mean
<1> Run: on mine, it init 3
<1> Run: I dont have a telinit :-(
<2> yeah init6 = reboot
<0> init and telinit make no difference to me
<1> paultwang: run either one and set the run level to 3...thats multi-user, aka the console
<0> i saw the KDE login screen
<0> it's initializing desktop
<2> :)
<0> new problem: device /dev/dsp can't be opened: permission denied
<0> that's the sound thing
<3> mmmm.
<1> paultwang: yea, not new.. OLD... just change the perms: chmod 755 /dev/dsp
<1> paultwang: I tend to have that one all the time
<4> um
<1> paultwang: or change the ownership: chown <user> /dev/dsp
<4> crw------- 1 carlo root 14, 3 Mar 25 05:24 /dev/dsp
<1> paultwang: thats something I would see with GDM all the time
<1> paultwang: or change the ownership: chown <user> /dev/dsp
<4> I don't think that is his problem.
<0> hm ok
<4> It's more likely he doens't have OSS support in the kernel.
<0> how to let kdm run automatically on reboot?
<1> paultwang: I thought it would have been fixed by now... considering how long its been an issue... jez... several years at least
<1> paultwang: init 5 will do it for ya or you can add it to your init script... just a sec, let me find the exact name for ya
<0> what is prefdm ?
<0> it's in my inittab
<1> paultwang: there you go
<1> paultwang: don't have a clue what prefdm is... prob stands for preferences
<1> bbialb
<0> so how do i add it to my init script?
<5> Add what?
<6> paultwang just change the /etc/innitab id to 5
<4> /etc/inittab
<0> ok
<0> i'll try it on my next reboot
<6> yeah excuse my lousy spelling, thanks run
<0> i am using the window now so i can't test it
<5> Well, his init would depend on the distro he's using also
<0> fc5
<5> Probably 5 then
<7> I forhet the commands after compiling make clean install modules modules_install bzImage?
<4> Is that supposed to be english?
<8> hey
<8> I need help!!!
<7> no, from non english
<8> ??
<8> ALguien que me ayude en ingles o en espanol
<4> I ***ume you mean 'forgot' instead of 'forhet', I still have no clue what you mean to ask.
<8> hey
<8> I?m here
<7> After you compile your kernel, I forget the correct command line to make it happen
<4> 'it'
<8> SOmeone help me or tell me were i can find help about linux in spanish
<7> dont be a jew
<7> if u dont know, then dont know
<3> #linuxlatino
<4> make magic
<4> need a mind reading make for that though.
<0> my guile does not have guile-config .. how to fix it?
<1> paultwang: are you doing 'linux from scratch'?
<0> no
<0> i am trying to "make" a program
<1> paultwang: just wondering ;-)
<0> it requires guile-config
<9> you probably need the development package with guile, whatever name your distribution has for those
<9> probably libguile-dev or -devel or some such
<0> guile-devel-1.6.7-6.i386.rpm
<0> nice.. now to start all over :P
<9> does whatever you are compiling not have a configure script?
<0> it does
<0> and it checks from the start everytime i run it
<9> sounds like you are typing a long make command
<9> paultwang: not entirely probably, It usually caches the results of the individual tests
<0> remote X scrolls a bit slowly, so i don't know if it is cached or not :P
<0> it scrolls about the same speed
<0> i found this in inittab:
<0> x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
<0> should i change it to something with kdm ?
<0> nvm
<0> it's a script
<3> yep. There's a variable that defines DESKTOP, that normally drives whether it's kdm or gdm used.
<3> it's buried under /etc/sysconfig/ somewhere
<0> file /etc/sysconfig/desktop
<0> i wrote
<3> that's the one.
<0> export DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
<0> in the file
<3> you need "kdm" not "KDE"
<0> hope it works
<0> ok
<0> just type "kdm" in desktop ?
<3> *sigh.
