Re: [expert] gdm won't start: error while loading shared libraries...

2002-10-01 Thread K Montgomery
As it turns out, I did have gnome2 installed, but ldconfig wasn't looking at /opt/gnome2/lib, where the needed file resided. I did ldconfig /opt/gnome2/lib and gdm is working fine now. However, now I have the problem that when I choose the GNOME2 session in gdm, it brings up IceWM instead.

I just upgraded to Mandrake 9.0. Gdm used to work just fine, but now it doesn't want to start on boot. Kdm does work. When I try to run gdm (as root) from the command line I get the error message: # gdm -nodaemon /usr/bin/gdm-binary: error while loading shared libraries: libgnome-2.0.so.0:

Hmm... this command returns nothing. That must be a bad thing. :) I tried messing around with ldconfig, because it has solved problems for me before, but I don't understand it well enough to use it as it probably should be used. ldconfig -p | grep libgnome returns the following, FWIW:

Hi all, I mostly use my Linux system remotely via XDMCP. Does anyone know about ways to play sound remotely over the network? I've heard of the Network Audio System. Are there others? Has anyone been able to get one to work? (FWIW, I've got Mandrake 8.2 and I mostly use Gnome.) Thanks,

Did you do a make mrproper before starting the whole compilation? I've gotten similar errors in the past and that has solved them. (Note: I believe this will wipe out any existing /usr/src/linux/.config you have. But as you're loading a file from elsewhere, this shouldn't be a concern.) -

Thanks for posting this! Whenever I mounted a Samba share after installing 8.2 (with the 2.4.18 kernel), an ls of the share directory would hang, and then ls anywhere would hang. I was never able to kill the processes, and eventually I would have to reboot. This patch solved the problem! -

I just updated an 8.2-RC1 machine to the 8.2 official release, and I'm seeing the problem again myself. My .config, for anyone interested, is attached. Here are the kernel packages installed (rpm -qa | grep kernel), just after I did the update: kernel-secure-2.4.18.6mdk-1-1mdk

This happened to me when I tried to compile a 2.4.18 Mandrake kernel on Mandrake 8.1 a little while back. I had downloaded and installed the kernel-source and kernel-headers RPMs from cooker (I think they were version 2.4.18-something and 2.4.17-something, respectively, at the time). I was
