However i'm still in new grounds and haven't had the chance to get my feet to wet. A problem occured to me two days ago after i killed the x server i couldn't log back in through the xfree86 login screen. It would just keep bring me back to the same screen. So I booted into the shell and ran my server from there. However since the X server was still running after i killed it, i killed xdm was that a bad thing? i know its the x display manager but i was guessing after a reboot it would of started itself back up. Now i keep getting this message after i "shutdown -r now" i get this message after its loading up at the very end: "Dec 20 00:45:40 unixpros init: getty repeating to quickly no port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 seconds. So i hit ctrl c and login through the shell again. Then i get the same messages in my terminal: unixpros init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8. sleeping 30 secs. That messages appears every 2mins or so. So when i type: startx "as root" to start the x server from the terminal i then get this message: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXpm.so.4" not found (==) R128(0): Write-combinig range (0xa0000,0x10000) was already clear. When i get on i see the same message in /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Anyclue how i can fix this? please any help would be greatly apperciated i'm still young only 17 and learning. Another thing i'm not sure how many other freebsd users out there run a "OpenNap Server" but since i rebooted i cant start it up. For some reason the pid file is missing, and when i execute the command opennap -b to start the server in the background says command not found and this is occuring due to no pid file in the /opennap directory. Hope to get a response from someone :) Sincerly Yours, Matt _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
