trigggl Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I've been mostly away for a while, but decided to try this Live CD, since it was thought highly enough to make a sticky out of.I like it for the most part. I'm currently posting from it, which is going to get the MIS guys mad at me again. I have to do a little massaging of settings that they don't want me to know to get it connected to the web.I took Linux off of my work computer, but left the Swap partition for events such as this.I did notice one thing while it was starting up: It didn't like the Enable Swap command that it gave itself at startup. I think it's using it though. I monitored it and it seemed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross549 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 As it is loading, there is a mesage about swap..... linux is sqwacking about the swap not being the correct type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owyn Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 As it is loading, there is a mesage about swap..... linux is sqwacking about the swap not being the correct type.Ah:Got it.LiveCD is booting with "resume=/dev/hda1" (Tex's configuration).Software Suspend for Linux complains (properly) that it does not have access to a proper swap file.

teacher Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Glad to have that one figured out. I had been wondering about it as well.--Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 So if we know which partition the swap is on, can we use a cheatcode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owyn Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 So if we know which partition the swap is on, can we use a cheatcode?In theory, yes.In practice, no. I tested "livecd resume=/dev/hda5" and swsusp still complained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigggl Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 OK. I just tried this at home on my ASUS i820 motherboard and it would not load the X-server. It seemed to recognize everything properly, but no nVidia splash screen, just a black screen that lasts forever. I can transfer to F1 though F6 for a command prompt, the nVidia driver just doesn't seem to want to work. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owyn Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Try booting the LiveCD with "livecd noapic nolapic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigggl Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Try booting the LiveCD with "livecd noapic nolapic"I'm on it!Edit: I meant that I'm on the task, not the Live CD. Of course, later I did get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigggl Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 livecd noluck Perhaps there is some way to specify my monitor? I think Linux typically recognizes it incorrectly. It did find the right video card.I think the mouse is not being recognized correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc-tecky Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Did you try the 'xres' and 'xbpp' options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigggl Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I did not, it should be able to use the defaults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc-tecky Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hmm... I've seen a lot about this glxgears thing. How do I tell that it's installed and to test? I have Matrox G400 card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) Just type glxgears at the prompt and you will see if it is installed :DIf not installed, look for the Mesa and Mesa-demo packages . . . glxgears make part of itB) Bruno Edited February 11, 2004 by Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc-tecky Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 MESA was and now MESA-demo is installed too. Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visualOk, so that's where I stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
