As to 1G of swap, I'm not sure how you're going to make it so. You want to make /dev/hda9 your swap partition, which means it will be as big as your /dev/hda9
Hm... Interesting...
But the system boots, so we just need to figure out what's wrong with the X server, why reinstall? You can boot to console and log in in text mode, right? Just reboot, and when the Lilo prompt comes up, type
Linux 3
It might be one of several things. Your / partition could be full, so X can't write to /tmp. Or, worse, something that X needed was on /dev/hda10, good thing we haven't erased it completely.
If you're able to log in console mode, run
df -h
to see if your / partition is full, and you can try mounting /dev/hda10 on, say, /mnt/hd to see if there's something useful left there.
really thank u man
i did what u said but i use 88% from hda10
so i thought that there is nothing wrong so i typed startx and i found that
there is a problem in xorg.conf
i had played in to make my scroll works
this made the problem
i entered emacs and deleted what i had added
and all things worked fine
i am now on my little slack
i did what u said
Quote:
root@ASK:~# umount /dev/hda9
umount: /dev/hda9: not mounted
root@ASK:~# mkswap /dev/hda9
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1028120 kB
no label, UUID=1ed9db1b-1121-4589-b14a-8c9cf2b9c0d6
root@ASK:~# swapon /dev/hda9
root@ASK:~#
then i removed the # from fstab
and i will see what will happen
really i had learned something new today
really i love my Slackware
thanx man
Well, you don't have to do anything. /proc/swaps shows that you use your /dev/hda9 as a swap partition. It's about 1G in size.
So, I think you're all set.
If you wanna use gkrellm, start it as a user, not as the root.
