Problem After running MAGIC

RalphUp · Post by **RalphUp** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 8:24 am

Ive run magic on my Home 3.0 install
Got the log-in. Ive a keyboard so I logged in as ROOT

everything seems ok, but my toolbars not setup corectly and if I click on the MOZILLLA icon it tells me there is no application.

Before I ran Magic all the ICONs where there and ran, any help would be great!

Hmmmm! Hangon a sec and ill test this out myself (I have to reinstall home and run magic myself!)

Thanks ShALLaX,

Everything seems OK, but when running XFCE the Mozzilla Icon just doesnt work(as stated) and some of the toolbar icons are gone i.e. the SHUTDOWN icon,

when swaping over to KDE everything again runs fine but there is still no MOZZILLA icon.

Hope this helps a little.

Well, I just tried magic twice, and it all works fine for me :\ Maybe some files got corrupt whilst downloading *shrugs*. "magic fix displaytools1 && magic fix xfcepatch1 && magic" should sort you out

Hmm, same thing happened to me as well. This was after a full update to XFCE via Magic.

Admitedly I did mess up the xbvset section of Magic (pressed Enter one too many times...Ooops) but re-ran xbvest that after a reboot via ssh.

I also tried running Mozilla from the command line, which also failed. I did an emerge -sync and then reinstalled Mozilla from there, seems OK now, although XFCE doesn't look as it did before magic.

I'll try the Magic fix and see what happens.

the same thing happened to me, but i posted on the Q&A forum and someone j ust said to login as gentoox:xbox and now everythign works, but when i login as root nothing works i dunno why .

I noticed this also.

the thing with me was i was auto logged in as gentoox user.

then after magic and rebooted I logged in as root.

That is why this weren't working as per usual.

X was configured for the gentoox user not the root user.

try logging on as gentoox and that should fix your issue.

erm
I tried the MAGIC update again, and my GENTOOX, now my rootfs is ZERO bytes, is this due to ShALLaX changing his HD I wonder... as for loggining in as root that sounds like it ... DOH. Ah well I like re-installs LOL

Cheers Guys!

Nothing to do with that... 0 bytes sounds very very odd. Maybe you powered off without shutting down properly?

After magic my 4GB partition on f: is empty... Still there, but empty. Used this for p2p, thus not so important.

Btw, should xbvset already have the hdtv stuff? Couldn't configure HDTV...

It should, if you ran magic.

It doesn't. Made a new fresh Home install. Ran magic without errors for about 4-5h. But xbvset doesn't have options for hdtv. Btw, i have no video output to my projector. Somehow it tries to synch to the video signal but then gets lost. Tried all options 640x480 -800x600 with PAL and NTSC.
V1.0 box.

Ok, i figured out why, the displaytools patch installed the new xbvset, then the gdm patch installed the old one over it again

"magic fix displaytools1 && magic". Ive fixed it now

yup, it worked! writing this reply from my living room with my xbox on a sharp HDTV projector screen!

Thnx a lot! its amazing to see linux on the box like this!
There is some overscan, but i really can live with that...

Thanks again!
