I reinstalled this morning and much to my dismay i am having a dissiing
amount of problems.
problem one. no sound!! , sndconfig is now defunct? and missing from the
cooker distrib. lorthar/kudzu dose NOT detect my AWE 64 .. sndconfig
detected the card perfect and installed the modules correctly.
problem two, /usr/bin/esd* needs to be chmod a+x in order for a lot of
the gnome sounds and enlightement sounds to function correctly as a
normal user. this is not a new problem , but a persistant one , as soon
as I log in I must imidetly chmod a+x /usr/bin/esd*
problem three during the install after deslecting a lot of the "groups"
(expert install/server) no matter how many i desslect it still clamins
that the install will take 2047 megs and complains that it will attempt
to contiue but not all the packages will be able to installed due to
disk space limitations.. once in the package selction , everything goes
fine..
problem four , I must reiderate that we need to replace qt 2.0.1 with qt
2.1 , as licq is the only program we use that requires qt 2. (besides
kde 2 (wich needs 2.1 as well) and there is just no reson to contuie to
use the 2.01 since it causes some serious and minor bugs to apear in
licq !
problem five apon bootup , i have no X, gdm attempts to start, and then
imiedtly shuts down over and over again, after getting the machine into
runlevel 3, i started X manuly and descovered that X is deniing gdm
access to the display 0.0 invalid magic cookie... cookies! hehe. but non
the less it has rendered gdm unsusalbe, and I am unable to get to
function no matter how much i play with the X/gdm/xdm configuration
problems, asl i noticed that on starting gnome-session manualy I get the
following error msg's
wolvesden.dhs.org:/tmp/.ICE-unix/14428,tcp/darkangel.wolvesden.dhs.org:1067
Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: Permission denied
Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0".
getting servant data 0x81f24c0 from window 0x81c0a18
GNOME Help-DEBUG: CORBA user exception:
IDL:omg.org/CosNaming/NamingContext/NotFound:1.0.
Note the Xlib erros. i get something to that affect i do beleave also
when starting gdm only it is to do with the securitiy or something like
that.
problem five on boot up i recieved and error msg about the httpd server
starting with ssl, no such file or directory ssl.so or something to that
affect, I installed the ssl mods (acroding to the instalation anyway. so
there is a prolly a configuration problem when doing the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
problem six using linuxconf now , when you exit and ask it to display
changes it has to do , it crashes and brings up the gnome crash dialog
box, (simply aplying changes dose not crash it)
the installation was as I stated before done under expert, (hd.img)
server instalation, packages were installed using package selection
screen, with auto deps unchecked (so it would display the information
about what it was installing.. btw I love that new option!!) securtity
level normal(medium?) was chosen, using X 4 server that comes with the
distrib, no modifiactions except for custom XFree86config-4 file, though
it was haveing problems before this was used. X was set to start at
boot, though it is now running in level 3 , to get around the gdm
problem.. I will attempt to install kdm now and get back to you on
wherether or not that functions. (no kde programs are currently
installed except for kdesu (for the mandrake dekstop options.. hey guys
why don't we use gsu for the gnome desktop instead?? )
