It's probably prudent to fix that /dev/null issue system-wide, rather than just via one of your login environments. You _could_ put the chmod command into a system startup file under /etc/rc* : but in your case it's probably less hacky if you try to correct it via udev. I don't use udev (& instead just use static device files), so the following may be better addressed by someone on-list who does use it. For the command: grep -r null /etc/udev /lib/udev/[a-ce-z]* , do you get any lines like: /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="null|zero|full|random|urandom", MODE="0666" or: /etc/udev/rules.d/40-fix-permissions-rules:SUBSYSTEM=="mem", KERNEL=="null|zero|full|random|urandom", MODE="0666" ? If not, then you might want to create something like '/etc/udev/rules.d/40-fix-permissions-rules' ( 0644 root root ) with the contents as shown in the above example grep output. You also might want to double-check the permissions &c on /dev/{zero,full,random,urandom} too (ref. the lists in the above example grep output). As for the X11 stuff: not sure what's caused that - would need to know more about what you've been installing/configuring/&c. It can be useful to profile the sytem before and after making changes (e.g. installing software), to help see what's actually being change don the system. Even a crude 'ls -latrRF /' or 'find / -ls' pre-/post-, saved to logfiles and diffed, can be useful; and you can refine it from there. > > As per the HP printer problem is concerned, I have tried almost every > combination, but somehow it didn't work. > SO I would like start from the beginning unstalling everything. > Can you please tell me the order in which I will install the required module > and and configure everything.
