Slim "Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"

Hello Everyone,
Slim "Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"
This error drives my crazy I changed to slim after the recent change of gdm.
Since I changed, when I boot my PC this error always occurs. Only solution so far is either to wait for 5 minutes or to change to another TTY#, login and try init 3 and then init 5 (which only works sometimes but most of the time delivers the same error).
The error doesn't occur when I REboot the PC.
I start slim via inittab with "x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
I already tried the German Arch-Forum but got no reply.
There is a topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81159 with the "solution" to change inittab
"x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
to
"x:5:once:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
but this doesn't work for me, slim then refuses completly to start.
I'd prefer to use the inittab method and not the daemon method...
Thank you in advance

Hi,
"generally" X seems to work fine. I use Openbox without any problems. If I try /usr/bin/slim from init 3 it says: "Stale lockfile found, removing it" and then nothing happens - the console just stays on.
I haven't changed my Xorg for ages, I still use the same X configuration (besides updates) that I had years ago with kdm and then with gdm. Even when I switched from gdm to slim I just follwed to wiki and changed the Inittab line from gdm to slim.
Heres my Inittab and my Xorg.conf (to be honest I'm not really fit with Xorg configuration...)
To be sure, I just created a (very basic) new Xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig.

EDIT: It seems to work now! Slim started without any errors. I will test that for some days to see if the problem is really gone now.
Just out of curiosity:
A lot seems to have changed in Xorg.conf since my old ~2years old config was made.
I had to turnoff boot logo manually and set Option "Composite" "Enable" but now everything seems to work by default?
Do you see any flaws in my xorg.conf? Any ideas for improvements (except metamodes)?

"INIT: id "x" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minute"

Hello Archers!
This is my situation… I am running ArchBang! On my Acer Aspire Timeline with all Intel, 320HD, 3GB Ram DDR2 and Intel Mobile 4 Series Express Chipset Family GMA 4500MHD (GM45) 64bit. I understand that this may not be the appropriate place to post my thread but this Forum is my last Resource!
I removed Vesa driver (# pacman –R xf86-video-vesa) and install the Intel driver available in the repositories (# pacman –S xf86-video-intel) then I edit my /boot/grub/grub.cfg and deleted: xorg=vesa nomodeset.
Rebooted and I see the changes right away fonts are looking wonderful but after all deamons finish running I go into this command login screen! Rather than my login manager to then go into my OpenBox window manager. And so I get this weird message "INIT: id "x" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minute"
I tried uncommenting in my slim.conf:
#/etc/slim.conf
Daemon yes
Per suggested in the ArchBang! forums
I also tried the KMS per the Archwiki Intel… https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel
One thing I did not try was installing lib32-intel-dri because my system is 64 bit. But I don't think this step is necessary. Is it?
I have tried other things but have not been successful. Please Help! Any suggestions/guidance and/or tips are highly appreciated.
Happy Holidays,
Luis Caballero

Nvidia driver causes "INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast"

Hi. I'm having lot's of trouble getting my nvidia card working. I checked out more threads than I'd like to list. Although there's lot's of stuff on this error, there's little on nvidia (more on radeon, but nothing helped so far). I've looked at
http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=2889
among other arch forum threads and non-arch forum pages too.
This is a new install on an ASUS N53S.
During my initial install of Arch, I went with the xf86-video-intel-sna driver because the wiki recommended installing proprietary nvidia drivers after X is working. The intel driver worked fine and I got my desktop up and running no problem.
But if I try switching to either the nvidia driver (as per the wiki) or the nouveau driver I get this message at startup (and slim fails to start)
INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
If I try "startxfce4", it spits out some stuff, culminating in "Fatal server error: no screens found"
The card is NVIDIA GeForce GT550M
I can't tell if the problem is with the driver, xorg.conf, or slim (or something else). Any help would be great. Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks so much for your help. I just followed the Bumblebee wiki, and it seems to be working.
When I do "optirun glxspheres", it takes 5 or 6 seconds to run the thing. Is that normal?
Also, here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … VIDIA_card
I'm not sure what to make of
options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=0
I check the documentation and their example give values of 0 and 1 respectively. It's clear what the values mean, but I'm not sure WHAT is being referred to as loaded and unloaded. What values are the likely ones that I want?

Start sudden failure: f1 respawning too fast

Hi,
Till yesterday I had a fully working and updated Arch_X86_64/KDE system (inc. pacman 4.0.1-4).
This morning I've tried a full upgrade (pacman -Syu) and:
1. Initially found dependency problems related to (as far as I remember) to one of the gcc libraries. (I removed that library and proceedeed upgrading)
2. A lot of missing or unstrusted. I've run the init key, yet the problem continues.
I decided to reboot intending to rerun pacman -Syu afterwards.
However my system won't boot anymore. It complains as follows:
1. can't open (no such file) libstdc++.so.6
2. "INIT: Id "f1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes."
That's it.
Please advise how to restore full functionality?
Thanks

Please disable signature checking, at least for now. And you shouldn't face the problem. Read the news here:
http://www.archlinux.org/news/pacman-4-moves-to-core/
In fact it's disabled in the default pacman.conf, so you must've enabled it yourself. Disable it and proceed to upgrade the system.

Id "c1" is refreshing to fast, disabled for 5 minutes

Does anyone know how to fix this. I found one article on this online, but it said to comment out the offending virtual terminals. This is happening on all of them (c1 - c6), it says.

There is probably something wrong with your getty (agetty is the default one). The way init works is that if agetty on a virtual terminal end (or crashes), it is restarted again. Usually, this only happens when you log out, but if there's a problem with it, it just keeps crashing, being restarted, etc... If this keeps happening for a (short) while, init disables that terminal, and you get the message you posted above.
Check the logs. Check that agetty is working (it's in util-linux-ng package). Check your inittab.

Why is "getty respawning too quickly"?

After applying the latest update of Safari my iMac will boot until the bar creeps all the way across the Starting Mac OS X window then hangs.
I brought it up in safe mode and I see the message "getty is respawning too fast. sleeping".
Is there a(n easy) fix for this?

Oh thank you. Only thing is I have no backup, so i'd prefer to wait if there is a 24 hour lock out... Someone told me they thought there was, and I can't find anything on google to tell me how many attempts you get and how long you get locked out for each time.

Can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast

can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast.

Hi mho,
1.usb is very high speed that is correct.Better you can choose PCI DAQ.But thats upto you.
2. see this:-
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14136
3.If Matlab support TCP/IP, that could be an option.
see Another idea: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/244A37667BD7CBCE86257520007F937B
Another simplest way to do it (assuming you running Windows) is to use a Matlab script.
If both programs running on different systems:-
Most simple and slow - Create two VI's with shared variable on both machines, and use a matlab script to
share data. (this makes matlab some kind of "slave").
More advanced but still relatively slow (Create two VI's with shared variable, on the Matlab machine build the .NET
dll, and it can be used on Matlab too ( at least at 2010b version, earlier version support only COM).
Create TCP/IP connection between two comps.
There is "out of the box" NI products, that communicate with Simulink models.You please do a simple search on that...OK

Itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd...

For the first time since upgrading to 10.3.9 I'm trying to burn a data disc from iTunes to backup some files. It fails every time and ruins the blank CD. This is getting expensive!
The CDs are Phillips CD-R 52x. (Yes, I've used blanks from this very box before the 10.3.9 upgrade and it never failed before.) iTunes was set to 24x burn then changed to "maximum possible" for the burn speed.
Most times it looks like it's burning the playlist but around the 5th file it spits it out and gives the error "itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd burner or media". Sometims it just locks up itunes with "checking media" and I have to force quit iTunes. Then the disc is ruined. It won't even show up in Finder.
Ugh. Anyone know how to fix this?
edited p.s.
Here's what the Console log says for the last failed attempt.

Choqok too fast for kwallet

Hi,
Just a small problem that bothers me:
When my system (KDE) starts all programs that ran when I shut down the PC are started again. The problem is that choqok is too fast ;b
It says that there was no wallet and that everything is stored in plain text. A few second after this kwallet prompts for the password because choqok needs it. Anything I can do about it (except for turning off choqok every time I power off my machine)?
TIA

This is the prime reason I don't like benchmark programs. They talk @#$%. Memory will only run as fast as the bus it is plugged into (so long as it is capable of running at that speed or faster).

Am I too fast for Mail.app?

*Simplified version*: http://trials.sent.com/problem.jpg
*Detailed version:*
So here I am composing away in Mail.app. I suddenly decide that I need to select a prior portion of my typed text and replace it with another phrase.
So I select the text, and I start typing my replacement phrase without pressing delete. This used to work fine, and the portion that I wanted replaced would get replaced with the new intended phrase.
The problem? After I select a prior portion of the typed text, and press delete (or start typing with my replacement), I'm now seeing additional words (those that were present right after the deleted words) automatically selected by Mail.app.
This is bad, because if I'm typing away, I've already lost unintended words. Am I too fast for Mail.app? Should I slow down?
Is this just me? I've had this problem for over almost a year now (with my old macbook), and new macbook pro.

This exact problem has happened to me on my Late 2008 MBP a number of times.
After I select something, I delete it (cut it, type another letter, whatever) and the text is moved appropriately, but the selected area remains. So upon the next keystroke the next few words are also deleted.
It seems to be some sort of bug. I'm not sure if its related to the trackpad, or what. I haven't made much effort to isolate and fix the problem either. Perhaps we should both submit feedback to Apple about this. Your illustration depicts the problem perfectly. Would you mind if I link to it when I send in feedback?
One more thing: It's not limited to Mail.app on my machine. I get it in Pages and TextEdit as well, for sure. Perhaps it is limited to Cocoa applications; I'm not sure if I've ever got it in Word or Appleworks.

Tool Bar too jacked-up for consumer level PDF

Sooner or later 3D interactive will saturate our culture. And Acrobat 3D is a great step, but it is targeted toward engineers and not consumer level marketing.
I want to produce these great PDFs for consumer level product marketing, but the Tool Bar is too feature rich for consumers. The tools are okay, let’s keep them, but the default tool, ROTATE, is just infuriating (not a good thing).
I have been on the creative end of advertising for over 30 years, working with 3D for last ten years, and I do some coding from time to time, so I am not afraid of a challenge. I know this: a picture is worth a thousand words, a moving picture is worth ten thousand words, a 3D interactive needs NO words.
Adobe has taken a giant 3D step with Acrobat, but the company now seems to be pulling away. Broad consumer level acceptance will generate the demand for Acrobat 3D, the engineering market is not big enough by itself. Here is my problem, the TOOL BAR requires an engineering degree, it is far beyond the consumer’s attention span and comprehension. Consumers are not engineers, but they do know how to use a mouse.
So here is my consumer level wish list for Adobe Acrobat 3D:
Remove the TOOL BAR and the RIGHT CLICK SUBMENU entirely from the annotation. When I say "Remove" I want it disabled, and make it not visible on a tool-by-tool basis. Keep the TOOL BAR as part of Acrobat 3D, but I need to manage it for the sake of consumers and my product. I don't want customers seeing it and wondering why they can get a tool to work, or wondering what they are missing because of a grayed-out feature. I want their attention on the product offered in the PDF. (I can NOT do this yet)
Make SPIN the default movement tool and the only tool. (I CAN do this, thanks to this forum and javascript discussions)
I need to restrict the rotation of the SPIN tool from going below the ground plane, and adjust the friction of the SPIN tool, some models move too fast in the environment. (I can NOT do this yet)
The default arrowhead cursor does nothing to promote (set apart, distinguish, or announce) the 3D environment. When a consumer has a cursor over an activated 3D annotation the cursor should communicate that fact. The right cursor for this job is the "move" cursor (looks like the PAN TOOL icon). I need to set the MOVE icon as the default 3D icon (I can NOT do this yet)
Create a 2D layer in front of the 3D scene to place stationary JPGs and TEXT in front of the 3D annotation. This can be useful for placing custom view buttons, ON/OFF buttons, transparency sliders in the scene, or toggling between one or two model render modes or different lighting schemes. (I can NOT do this yet)
As I said before, “remove the RIGHT CLICK SUBMENU entirely” because it is the can of worms as the TOOL BAR. But I do want to be able to customize the RC SUBMENU when a consumer clicks on a part of the 3D model. When they right click, they should get a submenu of features, options, properties that relate to my product offer. (I can NOT do this yet)
And finally, URL connectivity. That RIGHT CLICK SUBMENU has a feature like: make reservation, order this part, add to cart. (I can NOT do this yet)
Now that will accelerate Acrobat 3D. Anybody know how to accomplish these features?
Greg

OK, in order:
1 - you can disable the toolbar using the 3D annotation's properties, but you cannot disable the context (right-click) menu or edit the entries. You can add buttons to the toolbar to a very limited extent using JS, and can en/disable tools by name, but can't replace the entire thing and can't affect the other dropdowns (like the lighting or rendering menus)
2 - easy with JS, as you already know: runtime.setCurrentTool('Spin');
3 - also possible with JS, but complex to implement as you have to re-write the camera handling functions and do some polar geometry math. There are some examples from Directlight which use a ground-collision script for architectural renders inside a "sky bubble", but the script they use is copyrighted.
4 - we don't give any access to the cursor icons, period.
5 - You can do this in several ways; either with a watermark layer on the PDF, or using a SWF embedded in the 3D scene and some JS to load the SWF as a "scene foreground object". I've covered a lot of this on the Acrobatusers.com tutorials, but will be talking more about it in upcoming shows.
6 - see q1
7 - very commonly-done using JS, and probably the main thing scripts in 3D PDFs are used for. There are "3D order form" examples all over the Web, which use a script to override the default selection handler in the 3D scene, check the name of the mesh node being clicked, and then fire something out to the PDF (such as filling in a form field, opening a document, etc.) - suggest you grab one and poke about inside, as the handlers are all pretty much the same.
It's important to note that the display of a 3D annot is handled by a plugin shipped with Acrobat and Adobe Reader, and this plugin decides what toolbars, menus, etc. appear. Because plugins don't generally expose themselves to each other, you couldn't override the default 3D toolbar even if you wrote a "plugin plugin", and there are no plans to change the customization options (or lack thereof). I agree with you that some of the tools and context items are a little obscure for Joe Public, but they were indeed designed for use by engineers! 3D PDF came about so CAD/CAM data could be exchanged and reviewed, so it was realistic to expect people opening the files were savvy in how to work with 3D models. They've grown to be more public-facing, but even today the vast majority of 3D PDFs are passed from one engineer to another, who both probably use a Space Pilot instead of the toolbar commands.
