few problems with X


so i crashed X and had to reinstall it, now its all a big mess,


bash-2.05b# ls ls: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /lib/librt.so.1)
bash-2.05b#

^^^

so i guessd that ill have to install GLIBC again, i opend aterm and did this :

bash-2.05b# swaret --install glibc
swaret 1.3.2
You're NOT using Slackware Linux 8.1 or Higher or Current!
See FAQ for more Information!
bash-2.05b#


^^^ wtf, i have slackware 9.0 and it tell's me that im using 8.1 ?


next problem is that every time i boot, my keyboard layout goes to US, but i want to use Finland/Estonian, and i always have to manuali change it, is there a way to make estonia keyboard layout default ?


overall the system is like crap atm...

Help needed :>

download glibc package and installpkg (or upgradepkg if it says already installed) manually.

I don't know why swaret thinks your system is not 8.1 or current, please check the swaret script (where it gives that error message) to find out what can cause it.

I'm having a weird problem with X : from time to time, it hangs (the gui doesn't work anymore, but I can still move the cursor), and I can't stop X even with ctrl+alt+backspace, so I must reset. I have no idea what could cause this. Please write me any suggestions you might consider usefull.

I'm running Slack 9.1, ati9700 (fglrx 3.2.8 + agpgart modules), ASUS p4p800 motherboard.

it looks to me like you installed a wrong version of of X. (one that doesn't
match up with your libraries). get the version off your cd's instead of
using a package manager, or compile a new version yourself, instead of
messing with glibc.
