[newbie] Help required, after crash cannot start X
Hi Guys I have a major drama, after installing Win4Lin 3.0 on my Mandrake 8.1 box, things were running great, THEN I had a free of my desktop, not while Win4Lin was running though and I had no choice (that I am aware of anyway) of sorting everything out except using the old 3 finger shuffle (C-A-D) Now when I restart using either of the Win4Lin or Linux startups through the boot manager, I can get to the text interface and login etc but I cannot start X, I get an error of: Fatal Server Error: can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock Can anyone help Thanks heaps Rick mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Re: [newbie] Help Required
> 1.How will you eliminate duplicate rows from file 'a' and store the > same in file 'b'? First - it's best to use a subject line that's descriptive. Saying "help required" doesn't really help much. Better to say something like 'help with filtering' or something. There is a Unix tool called 'uniq' (for unique) that does what you want. But the file needs to first be sorted. So: $ sort < a | uniq >b does what I think is required. That'll return the file with the duplicate rows taken out. > 2.What is special about /dev/null file ? It's a special device (nearly everything in /dev are 'files' that inter- face with the kernel and, ultimately, hardware) that simply discards anything sent to it. > KIRAN K L David E.
