I fucked up my Slackware!!!

<< < (3/4) > >>

RudeCat7:
I REALLY fucked it up now...

Oh well, time to reinstall, LOL!

voidmain:
Huh? You don't have to reinstall for a messed up XF86Config. And once you get it working the way you like back it up before making changes. Did you run the "XF86Setup" or "xf86config" commands (case sensitive)?

RudeCat7:
Uhhhhhhhhh....I...erm...../*gasp*/ deleted it. So as you can probably guess, X11 can't start up with the XF86config file.

'Nother lesson learned the hard way....but I am figuring out this Linux shit bit by bit.


Back up my xf86config? Damn it! I broke my own rule!!! I hate it when people don't back up their shit!!!

It doesn't matter if X doesn't start. You can't run those commands with X running anyway. And you wouldn't want to back up xf86config, but you would want to back up XF86Config (two different files).

RudeCat7:
....but I mean, Slackware wouldn't boot up, because it would hang at the part that X11 loads.

I tried to edit inittab so it would default to runlevel 3, but it said it was write-protected (this was using Knoppix)

I probably could've saved myself a lot of trouble if I had remembered how to boot slackware into runlevel 3, but I didn't.
