Dang Sad you can fix by changing the permissions on that file for now.

Code:
chmod 777 /var/run/screen

To the second issue ?? I may be being thick to lack of sleep but I didn't get what annoying thing ?

drgr33n,

if you want to be able to reboot a rig from remote and be sure that it is fully re-initialized (maybe because you find it hanged with a kernel trap), you need to:

- remove from /etc/init.d/live-boot the request that reads "remove USB key and press enter to reboot", this is the annoying thing Smiley and to accomplish this you have to remove the line "read x < /dev/console" which is the command that stops the re-boot waiting for a key

- change /etc/default/kexec where it says: LOAD_KEXEC=true, put false instead, so that you always do a cold reboot. A sudo coldreboot does the same thing, but if you're remote and issue a sudo reboot for error... dang, system locked Smiley


BTW, is Catalyst 11.6 installed?

I'm trying to put a 5870 to 885,300 and it says

Code:
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    157           300
             Current Peak :    725           1000
  Configurable Peak Range : [550-900]     [900-1250]
                 GPU load :    0%

Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    157           300
             Current Peak :    850           1200
  Configurable Peak Range : [600-900]     [900-1300]
                 GPU load :    0%

and then

Code:
user@linuxcoin:~$ DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odsc=900,300 --adapter=1
ERROR - Set clocks failed for Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
        Please check that input values were valid

what am I doing wrong?

spiccioli

Ok makes sense I'll probably revise this iso as I think
I rushed a little to get it out and overlooked a couple of things.

Yes the catalyst is at 11.6 some report it working others say it doesn't. What cards ? And just checking but you did enable overdrive first right ?
New issue: Running in persistent mode and enabled encryption on the user's home directory. I also changed the auto-login script in inittab. I rebooted and was prompted with the desktop with the missing background/menu items. It seems to have auto-logged in as the user. I logged out and logged back in as the user using my own password, so far so good. I checked TTY1 and saw that the root user is logged in. Furthermore, the user is logged in on other terminals.

This isn't very secure if root auto-logs in at reboot. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a user.

This is normal behaviour. When gdm auto logs in it actually uses a gdm account. That's why when you log back in you have no icons because gdm doesn't have permission to Access your home directory. And admins still logged in because you swiched to telinit 1 I assume. Doesn't matter root doesn't have a password and when you reboot if you disabled autologin you will be met with the login screen and root won't be logged in on any terminal. Well unless you open one Cheesy

I would recommend creating a new account and dropping user all together.
