nobody Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) Lo, I just installed mandrake 10 community yesterday and strange things are happening in X... When I logon i can open a few things but after a while when i click the button for a gnome-terminal for example it shows up in in my window list "'starting gnome terminal" but then i t just disepears ... The funny thing is that everything i opened before the time period stays and keeps working, i'm typing in mozilla in that mandrake right now! When i switch tot textual console i can do everything. Gnome reponds to everything except at opening new things... I looked at my Xfree86 log and found this: AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:04:32 2004: 4135 X: client 17 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:15:01 2004: 4135 X: client 17 rejected from local host I swiched back to graphical mode and strted another gnome terminal and went back to log to see what changed .. this is what i found... (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument (II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:19:09 2004: 4135 X: client 17 rejected from local host Do i need apm service? [edit] Ok i remember it alll started when i tried gdm instead of kdm and it gave me an x font error, so i think it has to do with xfs.. I found some other users with the same problem while browsing some more forums... http://linuxquestions.org/questions/showth...5879#post885879 gonna try and upgrade my xfs [/edit] Edited May 12, 2004 by nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 it looks weird but what if you use a different WM .... like fluxbox or icewm ? i.e. is it a gnome prob or an X prob. It looks like permissions to me but im not a gnome expert .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowator Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 it could be NW prob. KDe and Gnome both use lots of heavy NW components .... However .... You can try and replace a few gnome RPMS's and upgrade or remove it and reinstall etc. but Id concentrate on the NW for now. Once its working it might disappear and even if not you can hardly download consitently until its fixed ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
