hi.
Ive just installed Linux off the APC Mag
CD and I am having problems with it.
I contacted a jhonan at one of the
available Linux chat groups and he has told me that you may be able to
help if I send you a copy of what my problem is.
I had only just loaded Linux onto my
machine and decided to play with some of the background screen displays in
Gnome (seems harmless ) but I think I have somehow reconfigured a table in Gnome that is quite important and created a form
of profile msmatch of some type.
Anyway, I cant get the system up and I am brand
new to it dont have the faintest idea bout anythig to do with and really
want it
back again.
here are the error messages I receive on startup
-
Unattached inode 86734
/dev/hda3: Unexpected inconsistency: Run fsck
manually
(ie without -a or -p options)
An error occured during the file system check dropping you to
a shell the system will reboot when yoy leave the shell
Give root password for maintenance
or type Control-D for normal startup
so I put in the password then a Startx command
which then come up with the following....
xauth error in locking authority file
/root/xauthority
fatal server error
could not create lock file in /tmp.tx0- lock
When reporting a problem relating to a server crash, please
send the full server output, ot just the last messages
X11Transocket UNIXconnect : cant connect: errno=111 giving
up
Xinit connection refused errno 111) unable to connect to
server
Xinit No such problem (errno 31) server error
So that is what I get on startup.
If I try a Cootrol D the machine just reboots and goes
back ino the same situation
Im quite worried about it and have no idea about anything to
do with the system but there is a 'reconfigure Gnome displays'
or something option in the background pallet and you can
be reasonably sure thats were Ive mucked it up.
I would really appreciate any help I could get
thanks
