Ok, everything plays just fine from the system notifications screen, but when I'm actually using the various applications - no sound is played. Kopete for example, the sounds play just fine from the system notifications screen within KControl, but they don't play at all from within kopete's configuration screen. I've even run Kopete as root to see if it was a permission thing...nope.

Whats going on?

I've re-installed the latest NVidia drivers, made sure my device in XF86Config-4 is set to "nvidia" and not "nv", and installed all OpenGL dependant packages from the software section of MCC. Why aren't my OpenGL screensavers working?

How can I run them from the terminal to see any error outputs?

The problem was the "ao-arts" command I had added to /home/einstein/.mplayer/config

For some reason it doesn't like that command (which is used for adding the arts sound driver option fro the audio section in preferences)

Weeiiirrdd............

Screen 0  "screen1"
Screen 1  "screen2"

Unfortunately did not work...same "No screens found" error.

I want to try the individual way, then back it up and combine...but how would I do that with only one video card? He had two, so he could isolate the "Device" sections. I can't :unsure:

Thanks, I'll try out your suggestion

Are you trying to get both monitors displaying the same image or splitting the image across two monitors?

Splitt across two monitors...but for now, I just want to see it work in any config. I can change the arrangement later.

Are both the monitors the same spec?

Nope, the main monitor is a 22" made by Hitachi, and the second is a 17" Sony Trinitron. All the horiz and vert freq's are correct though.

It may also be worth double checking that you have the most recent nvidia drivers installed (although you have probably already done this)

Sure do, thanks :)

BTW What actually happens when you go into X with this config?

It gives me the infamous "no screens found" error after kicking me back to the terminal. Doesn't start X.

Any ideas?

Yet more problems...

All of a sudden I can't open Mplayer anymore. It just attempts to open, then dissapears. I've uninstalled it and re-installed, no luck. What's going on here?

Except...no system sounds play...at all. Even Kopete won't play sounds...any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion! However, it didn't work. Though I may have transposed some things incorrectly...as I only have one dual-output video card. Here's my file:

See anything that jumps out?

Turns out "DocumentIndex index.html" was not set. Shows up fine now. Thanks!

Hey everybody,

So I need one more piece of advise...

How do I set up my root password and new user account in mySql? I've got it installed, but nothing configured yet. I need to reference my .pl scripts accordingly. Thanks!

I always knew M$ was a bunch of bloodsucking hermit frogs creeping in the shadows, waiting for the right time to leap up and suck the very life from our boddies!

And Linux...well...they're the boot that accidentily steps on that hermit frog :)

Anybody know how this can be fixed?

Currently, if I go to 127.0.0.1 locally, it gives the same forbidden error. (through Konqueror, running from root)

Though if run "konqueror /var/www/data/index.html" the site comes up just fine. My permissions are set to allow read and execute access in user, group and other. All permissions are fine, the apache server was started from root, I can't think of anything else that could be causing this. Anybody?

I know you have to pay a monthly subscription for that, but does Cedega actually check for membership status each time it runs? Or is it like a normal application that just runs without checking anything online? I don't want to pay a monthly fee indeffinately to make it work. Thanks!

Ok...I restarted the server and now my 403 forbidden error is back. I restarted the apache as root, and the 403 is still there. I'm stumped now, any ideas?

Installed glibc-devel from the gui in mcc...still same error.

Hi everybody,

My WineX is doing weird things...can't seem to open anything, particularily Counter Strike. Here's the error:

[einstein@localhost Counter-Strike]$ winex cstrike.exe

/usr/lib/transgaming/winex/bin/wine: relocation error: /usr/lib/transgaming/winex/lib/libwine.so: symbol h_errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

[einstein@localhost Counter-Strike]$

Any ideas how to fix this? :unsure:

[moved from Software by spinynorman]

DUHHHH....I'm a complete dolt! I should have known to think of this FIRST, especially after all my years of mastering the Windows OS!

..........Totem didn't have the right codecs to play the audio! Opened them in Mplayer...works great!.....

DDDEEEERRRRRR

I've had to install this driver a few different times, seems whenever I have to restore my bootloader I have to re-install the NVIDIA drivers also. Here's what I always do, and it works like a charm.

(assuming you have your kernel updated to at least what's compiled with MDK10...)

-SU to root in your favorite terminal (I love emacs)

-cd to /etc/

-emacs (or whatever terminal you use) inittab

-change the 5 in "id:5:initdefault:" to 3, save the file

-reboot the system, login as normal user then su to root.

-navigate to where your NVIDIA driver .run file is, and type "sh NVIDIA...bla..bla..bla.run"

-The driver will now re-install itself through a terminal-like gui, and you'll be all set. Don't forget to change your inittab back to level 5 once this is done (same way you changed it to 3).

If you knew this already...just ignore me. hah!

OK, so I'm new to this web server business. I've been using Mandrake 10 for two weeks (first time using linux) and just yesterday had to configure a new web server for my office, as our BSD box's harddrive went capputz. (I didn't configure that one). I've got everything up and running, except my perl/sql databases won't run on the site. http://www.componentconcepts.com is the site, and I realized that the mysql service wasn't running on my MDK10 box. So then I realized it wasn't even installed, so I installed it and started it. Same prob on the site. So now, I want to stop it and restart it as su...but don't know how. Anybody able to post advise? Thanks...

Ok, got it all to work. The resolution was easy...I was running apache under my normal user, which for some reason didn't have permission (even though it says it does) to access that. So I ran apache after su'ing to root, and it works. Now all I gotta do is fix the dang internal server error when viewing the products page!

haha, no problem. There are a ton of files in that directory though, including index.html. I'm not sure why it's not finding it. Weird.

perl scripts need execute permissions? i don't know, only ever use php.

 

is there an index.html file in there you're trying to access?

The perl scrips are looking for and returning results to display on the page from /data, so that's why I need the root to be /var/www/data.

There is an index.html file, yes. There's alot of other files as well :) hehe.

User Apache should have access, as the permissions are set as (from the GUI)

User (show entries, write entries, enter)

Group (show entries, enter)

Others (show entries, enter)

I added the directory command at the bottom of my httpd2.conf file, still no luck.

So I changed my DocumentRoot in my httpd2.conf and httpd2-perl.conf to point to /var/www/data, as that is the folder all my perl scripts are pointing to within my website. Though, now whenever I try to access my company website http://www.componentconcepts.com, it gives a 403 Forbidden error message. All permissions are the exact same for /data as they were for /html, which was the original DocumentRoot (and worked also, only the perl scripts didn't of course). What is going wrong here?
