Help me solve X11 "shmget(lowmem) errror: Invalid agrument"
by David King
ThinkPad Z60t, FC 4 and X11 6.8.2. All of a sudden, after working fine
for months, X fails to start at boot and I get an error in Xorg.0.log
that says "shmget(lowmem) error: Invalid argument". I haven't messed
with the system config lately so I can't imagine what's causing this. I
think I've eliminated hardware problems as a cause, Knoppix and a new
install of FC6 on another drive both start X just fine.
A Google search on this error finds a couple of occurrences, one of
which was solved by freeing up buffer space that had been dedicated to
TCP buffers. I haven't been doing anything like that on my machine but
that solution suggests this problem might have something to do with low
memory utilization.
I've got no idea how to go about troubleshooting this error. Any help
would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to rebuild from scratch and I
really hate to do that.
Thanks,
Dave

The "no OS" machines from Dell were sold under the "n-series" brand. I
found articles about the n-series brand, but no machines for sale.
They were tested and shipped with FreeDOS, as I recall and had no software
support.
The OP might be able to call Dell and ask about n-series to find them.

"They do not list them on the "Home/Home Office" part of their website,
but if you go to the "Small Buisness" choice you can then choose under
desktops or laptops either "Open Source Desktops" or "Open Source
Laptops" they apparently come loaded with FreeDOS (for free, I think so
they can boot and test them)"
During testimony in the Microsoft anti-trust trial, it was explained
that Dell had a locked in contract which requires (required) that every
machine it sells, must be sold with an OS. So Dell provided bare
machines, with an enclosed FreeDos floppy disk. This complied with the
terms of the contract. M$ of course expected that every machine would be
sold with an M$ OS for which it would be compensated.
(This was referred to in a comment post on Groklaw about 2 years ago,
and the relevant testimony linked to on that site.. I read the
testimony, but I have no idea how you would find it now).

When I try to install Firefox 2.0.0.1 on a Athlon 64 bit system running
FC5, I get an error saying: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
There are several libstdc++ rpms installed but no libstdc++.so.5 to be
found anywhere.

default gnome panel
by François Patte
Bonjour,
Where are defined the applications put by default in the Gnome panel: I
want to suppress some of them (eg: "suspend" or "shutdown") to prevent
errors from one user on a desktop.... used via ltsp by several others.
Thanks.

Setuid unavailable. sshd hanging on exit.
by Jason
I have a home server running a yum'd up to date FC6 x86_64, it has a
problem I haven't been able to fix myself.
Sometime after about 24hrs uptime it will stop accepting mail and start
putting messages into maillog like this -
Jan 26 10:38:51 server postfix/spawn[1281]: fatal: setuid(99): Resource
temporarily unavailable
And when I SSH into it on exit the connection hangs and doesn't close.
I've been googling and not finding much to help.
One similar problem suggested turning down the process limit for smtp on
postfix but it hasn't helped.
Rebooting fixes it until the next time.
It's core2duo based and so fairly new tech so I have tried running newer
kernels (currently 2.6.20-rc7), no difference.
It's possible I upgraded from my previous servers FC5 32bit install
instead of a totally clean install...
If anyone has any idea what's happening or suggestions to help me find
what the real problem is it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I rebuilt xine-lib-moles from freshrpms myself, and installed
xine-lib 1.4 from extras.
Then, I downloaded
TERRA 308: Warming Island PREVIEW
Terraadmin-TERRA308WarmingIslandPREVIEW611.m4v
and it played just nice.
I tried some .mp4 movies and they also played fine.
