graphical kernel manager
I've been having problems with the display in one of my disto's. Excitedly I've found modconf and sysvconfig to help manipulate startup and kernel modules. Is there a program that is more graphical and helpful than these to better setup the kernel/bootup.
Thank you |
Probably not because most boot up stuff differs from distro to distro so check your distros package repository for anything that might be useful.

What distro are you using?
Sometimes, the text files are easier to manipulate once you figure them out. |

Why don't you refer to your distribution's documentation and find out the proper method of doing whatever it is you wish to do. There might be a GUI, but there is every chance you'll have to go "prehistoric" and type some stuff at the command line. :rolleyes: |
<<What distro are you using?

I thought I made a decent effort without success. Asking about a GUI kernel tweaker didn't seem so absurd to me. I had hoped if this existed I could possibly get a better feel from other distros what exactly was going on and then try to install the missing package. |
Well, what are the specific problems and erros you're having, so we might be able to point you to the right files? I know it can be daunting when you don't know what does what.

I was getting module errors with mouse, glx, synaptics, nvidia. All these modules I knew were there. xorgconfig didn't work yet x -configure did manage to create a new xorg.conf file which would load x w/mouse and no wm. I finally was able to resolve this issue with the mepis live cd reinstalling the x configuration. Thank you for all the replies.
