Hi,
I just tried FreeBSD-10.3 stable and get stuck when trying to use the
Mate desktop environment. I use Slim as the login manager. But when I
try to login, with correct username and passwd, Slim tell me that
"Failed to execute login command"
(Any idea why would that happen?)
So I try to switch back to the console use "Alt-F1...Alt-F8", which is
suggested by the doc. But that doesn't work. Why ?
How can I switch back to the console to tune the system?
(Ive never heard of Slim, but) general procedure:
From another net connected host:
rlogin / telnet / ssh yourhost
cd /var/log ; ls -ltr
ls -l xdm.log messages Xorg.0.log
+ whatever logfile might be appropriate for your Slim
ps -laxww
kill some processes, watch if they restart
vi /etc/ttys
change eg
ttyv1 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"
xterm on secure
to
ttyv1 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"
xterm off secure
maybe you are using ttyv0 for xdm
(I use ttyv1 to leave 0 for errors)
kill -HUP 1
sometimes screen still wont come back,
if desperate then reboot
PS I dropped cc: [email protected]
as this has nothing to do with that CPU, & freebsd.org list rules
say dont cross post more than 2 lists.
Cheers,
Julian
Thanks, I just manage to install a proper desktop environment(Xfce) to
use and it seems to work fine.
However, still, I cannot manage to do tty-switching using <Ctrl-Alt><F_>
(<Alt-F_> didn't work either). Strangely, whenever I press
<Ctrl-Alt><F_>, the whole desktop block. I don't know why, it just block
everytime I press <Ctrl-Alt><F_> ( the _ stand for number 1...8)
My /etc/ttys file looks like this:
console none unknown off secure
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure
.
. (the same )
.
ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm-nodaemon" xterm off secure
#serial terminal
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire" vt100 onifconsole secure
.
.
ttyu3 "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire" vt100 onifconsole secure
#Dumb console
dcons "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 off secure
Any idea?
Thanks,
Ruan
