Rats --- don't know what I was smoking yesterday, as the problem is back now.

All I did was reboot, start/stop gdm a couple of times, and change a greeter theme for a look see

I also tried a different VNC client, but the problem is still there.

This is driving me nuts

A bit of a guess here, but I remember reading somewhere that v1.6 xboxen do not work the same with respect to fanctl/temperatures, when compared with those models that came before.

Not 100% sure what the difference are. Perhaps v1.6 xbox doesn't report the temperature?

Anybody care to confirm?

Ok, problem solved. I just upgraded to gdm version gdm-2.6.0.9-r2 Emerging config was a bit of a nightmare especially /etc/x11/gdm.conf. I generally went with new config options. However it looks like my config needs some tweaking still - I want to put back xvkbd on login screen for example. Could b...

Firstly let me say that the whole X11, VNC (server, client) thing confuses the heck out of me. <snipped> Is the problem is that gdm is a display manager and not the X server?!? Well I'm still confused, but providing more info: Doing a ps -ejH is slightly enlightening, viz: 3815 3815 3815 ? 00:00:00...

Firstly apologies to Shallax, with whom I have already annoyed with an email about this! ;) However, I thought it was a good enough suggestion to warrant a post here allowing others to comment, and potentially so it doesn't get forgotten. What I would like is for there to be an automatic (ie forced)...

souteneur3190 said: I dont think all that is neccesary everything is on this web site. Well of course you can go to the main pages http://gentoox.shallax.com , but all commands should either have help*, or a man page. (* Even if the help only refers you to some web address!) My other points IMHO are...

Hi, Firstly let me say that the whole X11, VNC (server, client) thing confuses the heck out of me. :? So with that said... Has anybody else noticed that restarting gdm causes VNC's display to corrupt? (Yes, I know you loose the connection, but I'm talking about the image when you reconnect). FYI, my...

Hi all, This is a request to improve magic's friendliness to n00bs, like myself. 'magic' should have a command line option (e.g. help, --help, -h, --h) that tells you briefly what 'magic' is and how to use it. Why? Well there is no help otherwise, and typing "man magic" will definitely con...

Hi, Just thought I add some comments regarding nobspangle's updated HOWTO, but from a Home 4.0 perspective. As of the 17th July 05(*), only apache2, php, and mod_php are required to be installed as Home 4.0 already comes with the following preinstalled packages: - mysql version 4.0.24 [*up-to-date] ...

Hi, Just thought I should make the following comment: If your box is running linux as a server... <snipped> then add ntp to start on boot and run it rc-update add ntp default /etc/init.d/ntp start I had to type 'ntpd' instead of 'ntp' as the later didn't exist in /etc/init.d/ :( This relates to the ...

Wow, some real action on this! I thought it definitely was worth a mention, but didn't expect to get a solution so quickly. Way to go, ShaLLaX! :D News: Kernel patch revamped Following a post (or rather a kick up the ass) from the forums... I decided to make the kernel patch keep a cache of the vani...

Hi, My suggestion is to modify the kernel patch script so that it stores "virgin" 2.4.22 kernel source (archive) somewhere, and then uses this 'cache' whenever a new patch is required by copying the source to /usr/src/, then applying diffs and compiling as always... Currently, everytime th...

Patch name | Available Version | Installed version kernel | 22013 | None. Ok, so I'm answering my own question. Given that the kernel has been recompile on my xbox many times, the above is not normal. How do I know this? Well I've cobbled together my own "magic" script to just apply kerne...

Hi, I'm confused over what should happen when you use magic to install a kernel patch, by just typing "magic". Every time I run "magic" (on a Pro1.1 install; software "mod" only), magic wants to install a new kernel. Is this normal? [Yes, I understand that when patches ...
