Subject: [gentoo-dev] medusa-init / pcmcia / X11
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 14:53:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020311145302.A1384@matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie> (raw)

After installing gnome, I have the file:
/tmp/medusa-init
What's its purpose?  May I delete it?

I compiled the pcmcia drivers into the kernel.  But I also had to change
/etc/init.d/pcmcia not to check for the modules any longer.  Should I
report this as a bug?

In connection with the init.d scripts.  E.g. gpm has the tendency to die
without removing its pidfile.  If the /etc/init.d/gpm tries to start, it
detects the lockfile and gives up.  After that the only way to bring gpm
up is to delete the lockfile (by hand) and also! remove
/mnt/.init.d/started, because gpm stop won't remove itself from /mnt...
because it failed killing the gpm-daemon but gmp start fails because
there is a /mnt/... file.

If you know where to search for, it's not a big deal, but I guess the
scripts should remove wrong pidfiles and also remove itself from started
even if the daemon does not exist.

Last question: is there a way to tell X11 to report using syslogd?
If yes, shouldn't this be the default?

Christian
