gnome-session problems
Hi All,
I am having trouble with gnome-session and was hoping someone might be
able to help me out. The problem is that I cannot get gnome-session to
start. When I have gnome-session in my .xinitrc, X crashes. X will run
when gnome-session is removed from .xinitrc, but when I try to start
gnome-session from a console, I receive the following error:
shaq-fu[~]% gnome-session
_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
** WARNING **: Unable to lock ICE authority file:
/home/jake/.ICEauthority
I attached a file containing the output of an strace I ran on
gnome-session. I appreciate any help in correcting this problem.
Thanks in advance,

still no X
Hi again, Today I moved /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6 and I apt-get --reinstall all of the packages associated with X 4.0.1. However, I still received the error cannot open fonts (the one I posted yesterday). I was so hopeful when I updated this afternoon and all of the packages had been updated. even after installing the NEW X packages, i still get the same error. I am really confused. I saw another post that talked about corrupted fonts, but I did not see a response to that either. I wish I was proficient enough not to need a windowed environment, but the reality is that I am not. If anyone has any ideas about this I would be very grateful. Actually, I would be more than grateful, I just cannot think of an appropriate adjective. Thank you in advance. -jake
mouse problems
hello group, i was wondering if someone could help me get a scrolling mouse to function properly. i read some various suggestions on how to get such a device to work in x which suggest that it is important to make changes in the XF86Config file, so I did the following: in the Pointer Section i have Protocol IMPS/2 Device /deb/psaux ZAxisMapping 4 5 Once i changed this section, it looks like x recognizes when i try to use the wheel, but every time i use it, a menu pops up and it does not scrool as it is supposed to. if anyone has any ideas on what i might try next, i would appreciate any advice. thank you

rm -R /usr/
hello i am a new debian user and i just learned a hard lesson. I guess it is a bad idea to issue the following command: rm -R /usr/ i try to look at the bright side, you know make lemonade and all that, so at least i get a new system as a result of my bonehead mistake. Hopefully i will make different, and yet equally idiotic mistakes in the future. thanks for listening, i just needed to vent. -jake
loading sound modules
Hello,
I am trying to get the sound modules to load during the login, but I am
having problems. I added a sound file to my /etc/init.d directory and
updated the modules using the command update-rc.d sound defaults.
However, during login I get the following command:
/etc/init.d/rc: /etc/rc2.d/s20sound: no such file or directory
Below is a copy of the sound file. I was wondering if anyone might have
any ideas as to how I might be able to get the sound modules to load
during login.
Thank you,
-jake
#! /bin/sh
#
# This file will load sound modules for a CS423X sound card.
# Place it in /etc/init.d (as root) and from that directory,
# execute the following command:
#update-rc.d sound defaults
# This will cause the modules to be automatically loaded and
# unloaded when you login and logout.
#
# You can also manually load, unload, and reload the modules using
# the following commands:
#/etc/init.d/sound start
#/etc/init.d/sound stop
#/etc/init.d/sound reload

permssions
Hello, I am new at this, so this may be a simple question. I recently installed potato on my home computer, and have sound working. However I am only able to listen to cds when I am logged in as root. When I try to listen as user, I get a message that says I cannot access the cdrom because permission is denied. I am not sure how to set the permissions so that I have access to the cdrom as user. I was hoping that someone could help me out with this. Thank you, -jake
sound-problems
Hello, I am a brand new to the world of linux. I have potato installed on my system at home, and I am now trying to set up sound modules. I am stuck and was wondering if anyone could help me. I will be as detailed as possible, so please forgive any redundant information: 1. using xconfig, I went through and selected the appropriate sound card and OSS support, exited and made a bzImage. 2. After I make and make install the modules, I copied /vmlinuz to /vmlinuz.old 3. cp /usr/src/linux/modules/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz 4. lilo -C /etc/lilo.floppy I looked at the documentation for the sound card I have (CS4232) and it says that I need to load the modules using the commands 1. modprobe sound 2. insmod ad1848 3. insmod uart401 4. insmod cs4232 io=* irq=* dma=* dma2=* However, I am not entirely sure how this is done. In the directory /usr/src/linux/modules/ there are ad1848.o, uart401.o, and cs4232.o files. However, when I type insmod ad1848.o some information scrolls by, but for each device it says ad1848.o: unresolved symbol:XX. I do not know what to do to get the sound to function. The information specific to my card are as follows: irq= 5 io=0534-0537 dma=01 dma2=00 Sorry for the long message. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. -Jake
