[newbie] Services
Hi there. I recently recompiled my kernel. I now get the following message when I boot: "Starting amd: amd forgot to set AF_INET in udp sendmsg. Fix it!" What does this mean? Also, how do I fix it? Any suggestions? Thanks, Chris.

Thats incorrect, you should run 'xhost +local:' 'xhost +localhost' or learn to use xauth to add you X keys to root's .Xauthority. And you'd need to run it before su'ing -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon Thanks? Axalon, but what you have written here means absolutely nothing to me. When am I supposed to enter these commands, and how frequently? What is xauth and what does it do? These problems never occurred in v6.0 - why should they start happening now? Chris.

Hi there. I have recently tried to re-install vmware (the new beta version), to see if I can finally get it to work. However, I get the following message during the install: "None of VMware's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] The directory of kernel headers (version 2.2.9-19mdk) does not match your running kernel (version 2.2.9-27mdk). Consequently, even if the compilation of the module was successful, the module would not load into the running kernel." I answer the defaults to both questions - I assume that I have installed a C compiler because I selected everything when I installed linux originally (stop laughing - I wasn't to know any better :) ). As you can see, I have compiled a new kernel (I think it worked - I don't get any error messages during boot-up). Can someone tell me (in simple terms) how I might be able to fix this error? If you require further info please ask, as I still have little to no idea what I am doing in linux. Thanks, Chris.

Thanks for the info Mike, I went to the VMware site to check it out - here is what it said: Software requirements 1.VMware host operating system requirements glibc2 to glibc6 (glibc1 does not work) Linux kernel 2.0.32 to 36 Linux kernel 2.2.0 and higher for SMP systems VMware will not run on systems that do not meet these requirements. Does this mean that I need to find a copy of kernel version 2.0.32 to 36, or should it work with 2.2.9-19mdk? If I only need to go back to 2.2.9-19mdk, is it easier to do an "upgrade" install to go back to this kernel version, or won't this work and will I be stuck with doing an install from scratch? I don't think I made a backup of the old kernel - if I did, I don't know where I put it. Is there any way to find out? BTW, what does the -19mdk mean? Thanks, Chris.
