Linux, Solaris, KDM
I'm having a lot of difficulty getting my Sid box to serve KDM to an Ultra 5 w/ Solaris 8. I edited /etc/kde2/kdm/Xservers (added ultra5:0 foreign). I edited /etc/kde2/kdm/Xaccess (uncommented * and * CHOOSER BROADCAST). I edited /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc (in the [Xdmcp] section set Enable=true). The Linux machine shows up in the dtlogin Chooser screen, with the number of users and load avg and whatnot. If I select the Linux machine, the Solaris box tries to connect a couple times and then returns to the login prompt. On the Linux box, the logs say : [daemon.log] Jan 6 13:13:58 bp6 kdm[912]: server open failed for 192.168.1.10:0, giving up Jan 6 13:13:58 bp6 kdm[902]: Display 192.168.1.10:0 cannot be opened [syslog] Jan 6 00:06:09 solvent kdm[18137]: Hung in XOpenDisplay(ultra5:0), aborting Jan 6 00:06:09 solvent kdm[18137]: server open failed for ultra5:0, giving up Jan 6 00:06:09 solvent kdm[18103]: Display ultra5:0 cannot be opened I can't even remotely run an X app on either box. I took out the -nolisten tcp option from Xservers on the Linux machine but still nothing pops up. I'm not too familiar with Solaris (I bought the Ultra5 to learn on) so I don't know what files are where and which I'd need to edit to play with it's login manager. So... has anyone else run into this before? Suggestions? Pointers? Any and all help is appreciated. --Ian Ehrenwald

OT : Monitor dying?
In the past week, the picture on my monitor has gotten progressively lighter and lighter. I haven't touched the contrast or brightness wheels. I checked all the connections to and from the tower and monitor. Even opened up the tower and re-seated the video card. No luck. The only thing that has changed is [drumroll] the weather. It's extremely humid and has been for about a week, coinciding with when the monitor started having it's problems. Is it possible that humidity can make a monitor display the picture much lighter than normal? If so, does this cause permanent damage? Right now it's like I'm looking at the screen through heavy fog. Thanks Ian Ehrenwald

Re: [2.4.0] migration to devfs
chgrp wheel /dev/somedevice chmod 660 /dev/somedevice and have it stick. (past reboots) With devfsd this is also very simple possible. Can you give us a rundown on how to get this to work? I followed the instructions in the README but the permissions and owner/group bits never stayed the way I wanted them. (eg: root.audio for all of /dev/sound, root.video for all of /dev/v4l, etc). I'm using the devfsd from unstable now. Also, I use the NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.0.1 driver. This driver needs five entries in /dev to work. I can't get devfs to keep those entries there across reboots. I made a script to do make those entries every time the system is booted but I'm sure there is a prorper way of doing it. Any help? Thanks.
Re: [2.4.0] migration to devfs
That installed a script(s?) in /etc/init.d, which start devfsd at boot-time. Of course, you have to have the kernel automatically mount devfs in /dev, which is available as an option in the kernel pre-compilation configuration. If you didn't select it there, add devfs=mount as an argument to the kernel, either through /etc/lilo.conf, or at the boot-time LILO prompt. Then, it Just Worked(tm). All ownerships and permissions are as I'd expect, including /dev/sound and friends. I did the same thing and now it Just Worked(tm). Shrug. Don't know what I was doing wrong before. I had to add the following lines to /etc/devfsd/devices: # devices file # format: name [bc] major minor uid gid mode nvidia0 c 195 0 rootvideo 0660 nvidia1 c 195 1 rootvideo 0660 nvidia2 c 195 2 rootvideo 0660 nvidia3 c 195 3 rootvideo 0660 nvidiactl c 195 255 rootvideo 0660 It appeares that /etc/init.d/devfsd reads this at startup and creates the devices listed. I'm going through my conf files and changing them all over to the new devfs style entries and then will remove backwards compatability through the /etc/devfs/devfsd.conf. Thanks for the ideas.

Re: XFree 4.0.1 and Quake
I'm having problems with XFree 4.0.1, NVidia drivers (I have a TNT2 Elsa Erazor III, not available in the XF86Config), and Quake III. Quake 3 runs fine until I try to start a game. It load game media and all that other stuff, but as soon as I go into the real game it dumps me with a GLX error. I compiled the garbage myself and had to do a little editing (comment out the modversions.h because it isn't in kernel 2.2.17), and after I did that it ran everything fine. In fact, everything seems to run fine except for quake III ( and a little bit of X with the window managers and the screensavers not working.) Anyone know anything about this or had something like it happen to them? Set word wrap on your MUA to 75 or so. Which GLX are you trying to use? Utah-GLX is for 3.3.6 servers. The GLX stuff included with XFree86 4.0.1 isn't for NVIDIA cards. If you're using the NVIDIA supplied drivers, be sure you follow their directions for a tarball installation. This includes removing/renaming the software-rendering libs. modversions.h is created when you compile a kernel. Obtain, install, and compile your kernel. I suggest 2.4.0-test10 because It Works For Me And Many Others Very Nicely(tm). But if you're too chicken-shit to use a test kernel then stick with the 2.2 series. Like I said, compile a kernel. It puts hair on your chest. Once you do this, go back and recompile/reinstall the NVIDIA kernel driver. EMail the list back if all this doesn't work. Brandt Dusthimer Ian Ehrenwald
Re: Thanks everyone! Still problems though.
Thanks everyone!!! Quake 3 runs almost fine now! The only problems I really have are with X. The screen tries to go blank all the time (especially when playing Q3) and when I boot my machine, I have to re-make the NVidia drivers everytime. It doesn't take that long, but if I could get rid of it, it would be very much appreciated. Why do you have to remake the kernel module? Do you get any error messages spit at you? I've never heard of that problem before. The 0.9-5 Makefile should of installed NVdriver into '/lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/kernel/drivers/media/video/'. Can you verify if it is there? If not, cd to the dir with the NVIDIA_kernel source in it and re-run 'make install'. Make sure you have 'alias char-major-195 NVdriver' in your '/etc/modutils/aliases' and then run 'update-modules'.

LAN upload speed slow
Has anyone ever seen the following situation: There are three machines on this 10bT LAN: iansbox (linux 2.4.0-test8, woody) crapbox (freebsd 4.0) caseylaptop (windows 98 SE) caseylaptop can upload and download from crapbox with no problem. FTP, SAMBA, WWW, whatever. caseylaptop can download but NOT upload any files to iansbox via any protocol. It transfers 50k and just stops. No packets going back and forth. The FreeBSD and Windows machines can toss files back and forth via SMB and FTP all day long. When I use the Linux machine and copy files from either one of the other machines, the network freezes happen. There are no errors in the logs. Packets just stop getting sent and received. iansbox - crapbox: OK iansbox - caseylaptop: OK crapbox - iansbox: Broken crapbox - caseylaptop: OK caseylaptop - iansbox: Broken caseylaptop - crapbox: OK Do I have a flag set wrong in /proc somewhere? This is very annoying. Thanks. Ian - Religion stops a thinking mind.
