By default, KahelOS is installed with /dev/shm. You might want to take advantage of this shared memory device's speed (and automatic cleanup every time you reboot).</p> <p>Make sure the GUI/X is not running. Edit /etc/fstab, and add the following:</p> <p>/dev/shm /tmp none rw,bind 0 0</p> <p>Reboot and enjoy. Not only GDM will benefit from this but also other programs that use /tmp. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/gdm-greeter-application-appears-to-be-crashing#post-186 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:59:28 +0000 agi 186@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>Additional to "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one." message, one may also encounter the following warnings:</p> <p> "The X server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly."</p> <p> "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?"</p> <p>Also in following Problem 2's solution, please be careful with the 'rm -fr' command and check the file specification before pressing the Enter key. Always do this, when dealing with 'rm -fr'. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-124 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:50:11 +0000 brwnshugah 124@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>@fplolz: there isn't one. or not the traditional one i'm used to.</p> <p>@joelbryan: well that explains it. how can i recreate the look and feel of kahel?</p> <p>anyway thanks and wow philippines first (i think) arch based distribution. i am truly proud of you guys. it is a truly fine distro keep up the good work. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-123 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:01:37 +0000 r3d3ye 123@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>Can you also post the result of this command?</p> <p>updatedb;locate xorg.conf</p> <p>Thank you </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-122 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:36:48 +0000 joelbryan 122@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>By default, there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, this is because hardware autodetection is done entirely by HAL, including peripherals and video cards.</p> <p>You can generate a new xorg.conf file by first stopping the gdm daemon, <code>/etc/rc.d/gdm stop</code> then running <code>X -configure</code>, then move the xorg.conf.new file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-121 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:13:56 +0000 fplolz 121@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>to back up</p> <p>run the command</p> <p>cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /home/what ever directory you want</p> <p>Is your xorg conf working?<br /> If not , do tell what is your graphic card (:<br /> screen size<br /> and mouse type ...whether ps/2 or usb</p> <p>It would be good if you could post your current xorg.conf here too (: </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-120 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:41:19 +0000 brwnshugah 120@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>@r3d3ye: nah. the newly generated xorg.conf.new did not work as i expect. it will need a lot of tweaking. which i was trying to avoid by backing up the existing one. wish there is way to backup the current configuration. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-119 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:28:12 +0000 brwnshugah 119@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>@r3d3ye: ok i'll do that. i'll get back to you in a bit. thanx. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-118 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:25:29 +0000 r3d3ye 118@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>go generate one, look at my earlier post and just skip step number 5. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/wheres-xorgconf#post-117 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:20:37 +0000 brwnshugah 117@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>@r3d3ye: but i dont have a xorg.conf in the /etc/X11 folder. that was my original problem. i couldnt find the working xorg.conf to back up.

Your /tmp might not be writable.</p> <p>a. Upon bootup, press ctrl+alt+f1, then login as root.<br /> b. Then execute 'chmod 777 -R /tmp'<br /> c. Restart your gdm server by running '/etc/rc.d/gdm restart'</p> <p>Problem 2. GDM could not start because there are files in /tmp/ from previous sessions that it try to use.</p> <p>a. Upon bootup, press ctrl+alt+f1, then login as root.<br /> b. Then execute 'rm -rf /tmp/*'<br /> c. Restart your gdm server by running '/etc/rc.d/gdm restart'</p> <p>Problem 3. GDM is trying to run some accessibility tools that you might have uninstalled or not working.</p> <p>a. Upon bootup, press ctrl+alt+f1, then login as root.<br /> b. Then execute 'nano /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf'<br /> c. Comment out the line GtkModulesList=... with #GtkModulesList=...<br /> d. Restart your gdm server by running '/etc/rc.d/gdm restart' </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/gdm-greeter-application-appears-to-be-crashing#post-42 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:27:29 +0000 renan 42@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>Re: GDM greeter application appears to be crashing</p> <p>00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Device 5a31 (rev 01)<br /> 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge<br /> 00:06.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge<br /> 00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80)<br /> 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80)<br /> 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80)<br /> 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB2 Host Controller (rev 80)<br /> 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 82)<br /> 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 IDE Controller (rev 80)<br /> 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)<br /> 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-ISA Bridge (rev 80)<br /> 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-PCI Bridge (rev 80)<br /> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]<br /> 04:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
