Hi there...

You certainly can still do what you're wanting to; what's changed is the
defaults in the SSH server config. There are a number of machines here that
are headless
I noted some screwy problems with evince 0.8.3: odd behavior from the print
dialog was the one that really tipped me off to the fact that there was a
large problem. Note that evince is still using the gtk print system; it
doesn't yet seem to want to work correctly with the newer GNOME print
Nicholas,
I have an annoying problem with my new LFS box (LFS SVN post 6.3, BLFS
SVN) : Everything is working quite OK...except ftp. When I want to
connect to an ftp server, everything goes OK until I want to dir a
directory :

Would you believe reverting to gdm-2.18.4 solves it ?
Phew - I'm glad. Congrats on getting it working correctly!
After you posted the message just prior to your last, I searched on some of
the terms in the debug log you posted (various gdm_ API calls, assert conn
!= null, etc.) out of
Hello, all.
I've been trying to get Sun's JDK going for several days now, to no avail.
Under no circumstances can I get 'javac' to produce any output, at all. No
error message. No usage message or version string from 'javac -help' or
'javac -version'. Nothing but another command prompt
Hi,
BTW: years and several (B)LFS ago, I could happily run X clients in
chroot and get the windows on the server running on the host system.
This no longer works: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 (of
course I did xhost +localhost; even xhost + doesn't help). Now I have to
run an X
...or it would be really nice to have dedicated forum for
discussing the stuff like this? or both?
The blfs wiki is intended for just this kind of thing.

well, i was confused a bit since i thought that blfs wiki is for blfs
Also, I ended up doing a number of things that aren't in the book but
very well could be; I wouldn't mind writing them up. A few things come to
mind that might also be good tips / hints / etc. Again, though, I'm not sure
what the right way to go about submitting something like that is.
... But, here are the messages from the current log - since
it runs ok up until the shutdown, I regard *all* of these as nothing
to worry about:

I didn't think it was possible, but I may have outdone myself in the
peculiar error / strange and/or unusual program behavior category: I went to
check to see what version of the java compiler was installed on this system,

From what I can gather, there's an ongoing discussion w/ respect to current
and future LFS and BLFS books, etc. Could someone point me to it?
Thanks,

That sounds to me like a bug in the display driver (fglrx). If it's not

Dan,
Most likely you're missing the /etc/udev/rules.d/25-lfs.rules file,
since the default permissions for udev are root:root 0660. Otherwise,
I don't really know how that would happen.
Just wanted to clarify something; I'm using udev-113; the defaults on
/dev/null - and /dev/zero,
The problem you're having sounds like something I've seen and/or experienced
before:
(EE) AIGLX: DRI module not loaded
That's not good. I'd suspect that xorg-server doesn't think that the
DRI modules aren't in the same place as libGL (from mesa) does. There
was a bug in BLFS for a while
Thanks, everyone, for your help w the problems I was having getting fonts to
work properly. What I ultimately did was install the MS Core Web Fonts
font pkg and the FreeType package plus some other fonts that were on one
of my Debian systems.
After getting everything squared away, I
That makes sense; I'm not seeing any evidence of anything like that in

app, probably some piece of GNOME) is causing them to be loaded (eg.,

While looking through /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, I noticed that there are

I built installed gdb in the hope it would point out where gnome-help

this is that it looks to be some sort of race condition or other threading

Simon,
I'll have to try building again w OSS disabled in the kernel; I'm guessing
that something (probably gstreamer as you mentioned) detected OSS support in
the kernel and configured itself accordingly.
Nothing in Gnome *requires* OSS - everything runs perfectly happily
without it
Hi, all:
I've built a system that follows, more or less, the LFS 6.3 BLFS svn books;
I have X.org 7.2 with GNOME installed. I'm using the 2.6.23 kernel w the
mm1 patch set. By and large, it's working, and quite well at that. I can

Hi, Dan
... What's the output of this command?

Same here. I understand what you're saying, and thinking - initially, I was
thinking along the same lines. I was quite surprised to discover that some
of GNOME is still using oss.
Hello, all -
Thought I would post this and save anyone else who sees it some grief...
The other day I got the following message when I ran find:

Thanks again very much.
