[arch-general] Xorg & network problem
Hi, Arch install is graceful.After "pacman -S xorg gnome", the startx brought me to gnome. everygthing seem fine till I quited X by Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace, After a while i tried to re-startx and just had no response. No message is shown and the X won't show up.The .xinitrc is clean, and the xorg.conf is allright, and I don't have any special hardware. About the netowkr, The networking is configured in rc.conf, and I believe it's clean. after i swift my laptop to office, I can't reconfigure networking by execute "/etc/rc.d/network restart". :: Starting Network [BUSY] SIOCADDRT: No such process Any solution? -- Best regards, Zihui

I think you need to run a DM such as xdm, kdm or gdm for this.

I suggest starting here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide then http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network then http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg then http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome Or just wait a few versions untill the installer finally drops you into a fully setup gnome.

the init script doesnt reconfigure shit, it just runs the ifconfig commands you put in rc.conf. Fix them. Or wait for gnome having a network config gui, like kde already has. -- best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Arvid Ephraim Picciani
Thanks Samed, I think I missed gdm. But if I had a good memory, Back in 0.7.2 Gimmick, after "pacman -Sy xorg gnome" the gnome is ready to go by adding exec gonme-session in the .xinitrc. Arvid, Thanks for your suggestions, I do follow the wiki to setup the netwok, and the wiki says "To test your settings either reboot the computer, or as root, run /etc/rc.d/network restart", so i did it. BTW, I'm not a ubuntu fan. ;-) On Thu, May 8, 2008 at 5:34 PM, Arvid Ephraim Picciani <aep@ibcsolutions.de> wrote:

Do not make sick twisted jokes like that please.
Personally, I would not wade in on a discussion that is going this route... However in this case I feel a need to respond. I *liked* the comment ("joke", if you insist), and did not feel it was "twisted OR sick" . Very best regards; Bob Finch Liviu Librescu - În veci pomenirea lui. (May his memory be eternal.)

It's funny: on another mailing list I keep reading about issues people are having recently after upgrading Ubuntu to Hardy Heron. First thing that always pops into my head: "Upgrade to a new version of an OS? People still *do* that?" Arch, you spoil me! :-) DR

You get this if the ip of the gateway is not available. Take a look of the value of gateway in the rc.conf. If this is at example gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1" and ROUTES=(gateway) than try to see what is the output of: route add default gw 192.168.1.1 I see that you post a [BUSY] which seems that you use dhcp and so another reason could be that the other dhcp server offers a wrong or no ip of the nameserver. Normaly the combination of etho="dhcp" and ROUTES=(!gateway) in the rc.conf should works for such a case. Personaly i must say that this SIOCADDRT messages be not so funny and a search in the web shows too much examples.-) Good luck, Attila
