All the kernel Input items especially the mouse items. i did "lsmod" and it ouputs nothing :-( even i have to do "modprobe via-rhine" to make my "eth0" work. what could be the name of the "mouse module". i have Logitech PS/2 mouse running on ASUS K8V-MX motherboard? > your lines in Xorg.o.log(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device > "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE) > (--) Mouse0: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2" > (II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded > look pretty good. they look pretyy good but they do no good :-( becuase whatever the LOG says is not solving my problem. -- arnuld http://arnuld.blogspot.com/

Setting a domain name
by Ryan Forsyth 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi Everyone, I just want to pre-emptively thank everyone for all your help. I've been a long time user of crux for non-domain style servers (file server, personal web server, etc), but now I would like to assign a domain name to my system. I have the domain registered already, and the DNS is set up and I can access the domain and it goes to my system fine, but when I do `domainname` it returns `(none)`. I'm accustomed to slackware's netconfig for managing the domain name on a server and I just can't seem to find a proper document or anything to show me how to do this manually. I know this is a silly question, but I just can't seem to figure it out!

"crux-contrib" trouble
by arnuld 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

hai all, i wanted to use "user contributed" packages. so i did these 3 things: 1.) $ cd /etc/ports 2. $ mv contrib.rsync.inactive contrib.rsync 3.) edited /etc/prt-get.conf and uncommented the line "prtdir /usr/ports/contrib" (i.e. removed the hashmark in the beginning of the line. After that, it looked like this: ### ### prt-get conf ### # note: the order matters: the package found first is used prtdir /usr/ports/core prtdir /usr/ports/opt # the folloing line enables the user maintained contrib collection prtdir /usr/ports/contrib --------------------------------------- then i did "ports -u" & got this ERROR :-( --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- updating file list from crux.nu::crux-contrib @ERROR: Unknow module 'crux-contrib' rsync error: error starting client-server protocal (code 5) at main.c (1296) [reciever] Error: Running rsync failed() Updating failed Updating file list from crux.nu::ports/crux-2.2/core/ Updating collection ports/crux-2.2/core/ Finished successfully Updating file list from crux.nu::ports/crux-2.2/opt/ Updating collection ports/crux-2.2/opt/ Finished successfully --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i also tried: # ports isinst rsync it says: [Config error : can't access /usr/ports/contrib] package rsync is installed what is the trouble? why it is not updating "contrib" packages? i also tried making a directory named "contrib" i.e. "/usr/ports/contrib" even after doing that i get the same error :-( -- arnuld http://arnuld.blogspot.com/
