I don't know if it is complaining about another application having the
file open or another package sharing that config file (highly unlikely
I think).



If it is the former then then the lsof file can tell you what
applications are using that file at the moment, then just close those
processes that are accessing it.


Can't find what you're looking for?X

lsof | grep xorg.conf



should do it.

It depends on your partitionlayout.



Apart from that:


tom once i 'rm -rf *' without recognizing i am in the wrong directory.
And since it was a Gentoo that day where compiling the system took ~1 whole
week with the system i had.


Guess who is the more 'the profoundly embarrassed loose cannon' you or me?

If there would ever be a 'geek' pretending he never did such fault i would
not belive he is a geek.



So the good news is: you learn from it.

Indeed. From now on, I am not going to work as root without first making an 
entry in my system log as to what I'm going to do. All of the problems I've 
created have come from impatience. Perhaps this practice will help.

sudo will do that for you without extra modifications from you.
*But* sudo will only make syslog entries *after* the command is send.

Realistically, is there any way I can fix my system so I can log in  as root, 
without reinstalling the OS?

aptitude -reinstall base-files, perhaps

Or, boot a rescue cd/environment such as knoppix, mount your root
partition and do a chroot into there, do whatever needed to clean up.

Well see:
in /etc there is mosly everything 644 *BUT* there are specific files that are
440 or 755.
And there maybe even pre- or postinst scripts that check for the *right*
permissions on a specific file (e.g. the programms that can be suid).

So answer yourself.

You mean something like checking each and every directory=B4s and file=B4=
s
permission compare them with what they should be change them accordingly =
and
proceed?

Yap should work.

Subject should say it all. Updated a box to Lenny from Etch - boot on 
one partition, root and everything else on an mdadm managed raid5.

Booting now drops you to initramfs - attempts to use mdadm fail with a 
segfault. Have used a Knoppix which establishes that there is still a 
boot partition. Now downloading grml to see whether that will help.

HELP HELP HELP required - I've some important emails and some photos on 
there I'd like to recover. Relative novice with mdadm - I've just 
installed it a few times using the Debian installer and not really 
played with it from the command line.

Guide for idiots required, then, all help gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance,

Boot with grml and create a chroot, then install the mdadm package
=66rom unstable. If that does not work, see if /boot contains an older
initrd.

just do the following:

sudo apt-get install apache postgresql php4 libapache-mod-perl

Thank you.

The posting gave a full explanation of my observations and a strategy

I hadn't thought to try that, I assumed extra modules would be needed and 
it'd be tricky to configure with no screen. Thanks for the idea, i'll borrow 
one and try it.

Then there is probably some other application blocking the sound device.
Running alsaconf temporarily unloads all sound modules and thus kills
all applications which hang on to sound devices. This would explain why
your browser could then play sound.

Since this blocking process seems to be restarted at every login, I
would guess that it is a sound daemon (esd for Gnome, artsd for KDE).
Please tell us how you login (gdm?), which DE/window manager you use
(Gnome?), which sound daemon is running, and, for that matter, which
browser we are talking about (I assume it is Mozilla/Iceape, but which
version?).

Normally the Iceape/Iceweasel startup script should check if a sound
daemon is running and should automatically use an existing daemon to
play sound. We have to figure out why this does not work for you.

If you are not running any sound daemons then it might be necessary to
load the OSS legacy support modules so that the browser can use those
devices directly. (It seems that alsaconf does not automatically load
the OSS modules anymore with some soundcards. Chris Lale has collected
some information on this on NewbieDOC[1].)

I can=B4t confirm it is because of xserver-xorg since there were to much
updates at that time here.
But i can confirm this bug and allready subscribed to it.

sudo isn't installed/configured by default.

Frank: You can become root by executing `su` and entering the root-
password. Then, all you have to do is executing

  apt-get install apache postgresql php4 libapache-mod-perl

dexconf uses the debconf database to build an xorg.conf file. You can
modify the debconf database entries by executing `dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg` as root.
