Xorg 7 and .serverauth file

After upgrading to xorg 7.0, I have been getting alot of .serverauth.XXXX files in my home directory, where XXXX is some 4 figure number.
What exactly are these files? I have about 7 or 8. Can they be deleted?
Thanks

not sure it works for me/arch. (didn't halt/reboot yet)
sudo vi +131 /usr/bin/startx

For Ubuntu users who wish to go back to the old one-file XAUTHORITY setup, there's a very simple fix: edit /usr/bin/startx (as root, of course) and change the line:
xserverauthfile=$HOME/.serverauth.$$
to read instead
xserverauthfile=$XAUTHORITY
PS: it works for me.

Sever issue with Xorg and Nvidia Drivers

I run a 2.6.20 kernel with Xorg and Nvidia drivers all from arch rep on a Asus NV6200. Everything works fine, except one thing. When I exit X, the monitor shuts down imediatly. It wont start up at all, not even by manual startup. I cant understand what happens. The configuration is correct, is done with the correct settings for my video-card and monitor taken directly from the documentation. I cant use my X server at all since several days ... I checked the logs and there are no EE's. Anyway ... here is the log. Help anyone can help, I cant use X at all.

No ... the problem is in the kernel that comes precompiled.
I did this test.
The first time I installed the kernel I unloaded nvidiafb since I dont like it.
When I install nvidiafb back something strange happends. Nvidia module fails to load.
The modprobe sais it cannot find the device nvidia.ko ... but it is there!
So my best guess is, there is something with the kernel. Any ideas?
Problem resolved, installed older driver

Problem with regular crash with Xorg and nvidia

Hello!
I am using a archlinux distribution for about 5 years. There was sometime problems but now it is very unstable. Every reboot I have a crash of Xorgs and with this a crash of system. Log:

About 1 month ago it looks like restart of Xorgs when I press enter key. Alway ENTER key. After some updates/nvidia driver combinations - doesn't change anything. Now after fresh reinstall (well crashes destroys my ext3 filesystem an I need to reinstal the root file system) there are crashes, but now, every freeze I have to restart system. Now I am switchingo into ubuntu, I will try to check sometimes if something changed.
Cashes repeats every reboot from... maby 3-4 months. Now I can say my system is not stable, I use this in work - so this situation is really bad.

[SOLVED] Blinking screen - new Xorg and Intel issue

Screen is blinking after opening laptop lid no matter what i did (nothing, lock screen, hibernate, standby). It blinks every 10-20 seconds for about 1-2 seconds, and cpu% used by X's raises from 0.3-1.0 to even 10% and system slows down a little in that moment. My Xorg logs:

Blinking stops when i restart computer.
I have newest xorg and intel drivers (xorg-server 1.7.1.901-2 & xf86-video-intel 2.9.1-1). I tried also downgrade this (and related) packages to older versions (even xorg-server 1.5.* & xf86-video-intel 2.4.*) and the same happens... with only one difference. On that oldest packages I've tried screen doesn't blinks, but the wallpaper of the desktop is changing: my -> default -> my -> default... with the same frequency . I was googling a lot, believe me. I study IT on a University and I asked my friends from there, and they just run out of ideas. In addition i can write that it isn't my laptop fault because windows xp works fine and ubuntu 9.04 (i had before archlinux) also worked good. It has started on ubuntu 9.10, so I thought I move to archlinux, and its still here? I suppose its a problem with intel drivers or xorg, but somehow linked with power management of the monitor(?). But why then older packages don't work? Please, I will be grateful for any help.

SOLVED!!! Must enable KMS => switch off vga option in grub, and replace it with "i915.moduleset=1"

Xorg and refresh rates

I'm running Solaris Express 10 x86 4/05 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. Xorg refuses to give me a refresh rate higher than 60Hz. This is using the i810 driver but it also happens with the VESA driver. Here's my xorg.conf:

Thanks.

I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
First, I found this line:
(II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
Later on, I found these:
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
(II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
(WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
Trying standard mode instead!
Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

Best way to make a backup of home directory and system files?

I need to create a backup of my /home/user directory and important files like xorg.conf rc.conf & /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
I would like to put it all into a tar file so I can keep the system on windows with out messing up the files.
Any suggestions?

Virtualbox - install build and header files for your current kernel

I have initially installed virtualbox before upgrading the Arch
Also took backup of the kernle before upgrading since kernel26 2.6.30 is having problem with virtualbox
After upgrading I have configure the grub to use the previous kernel i.e 2.6.28
Later installed xorg and want to install the video drivers from VBox additions
but running
sh VBoxLinuxAdditions_x86.run
i get the following
install build and header files for your current kernel
The current kernel version is 2.6.28 Arch
What are the build and header files I have to install or search with pacman
And since i have upgraded the system will I able to look up the header and build files needed for kernel 2.6.28

dmartins - he's talking about his kernel's headers, not the kernel-headers package - they are two very differnet things.
sant527 - when you backed up the 2.6.28 kernel, did you remember the files in /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/ ? They're what VBox is looking for.

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.
booya!

After installing Mt.Lion on my 27" iMac (2010), my copy/paste and move files would no longer function after a few minutes of use. I re-opened in Safe Mode and found everything okay, so I was told it was a bad extension. Now what do I do?

I have tried to look for an extension like Air Print Activator, which I tried and ignored. I thought it might have some timing method that would stop my copying and pasting and moving files after a minutes ot two. So I re-installed the latest version and "uninstalled" it, hoping it would then remove an errant extension. But that didn't help. It seemed to start when I first tried out Mail and moving new emails into their mailboxes after reading. I tried to figure out how to do a Clean Install, too, but it would not allow me to "move" the InstallESD.dmg to a USB disk, "resource busy". Everyway I turn, I'm blocked from carrying out a method of finding the culprit, short of starting from scratch -- but losing years and years of mail, files, receipts, etc. It's just too much to sacrifice. I have no idea what to do next, since I have no idea what extension is causing it or how to isolate and destroy it. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

You can try repairing the boot drive, Since you are running OS 10.6.8 you will need the OS DVD. Do you have it?
Please post back if you do, and need directions on how to do the disk repair.

What is a Logical and Physical file path in sap?

what is a Logical and Physical file path in sap?

Hi,
Physical file is what you see from the OS level.
Logical file is what ABAP code can call certain functions to read/write.
Transaction FILE would link them together. Typically the logical path ends with "<FILENAME>", and the logical file refers to the logical path.
To extract the physical path from the logical path name
DATA: lf_mandt TYPE sy-mandt,
        lf_opsys TYPE sy-opsys.
lf_mandt = sy-mandt.
lf_opsys = sy-opsys.
To extract the physical path from the logical path name
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      client           = lf_mandt
      logical_filename = p_unix
      operating_system = lf_opsys
    IMPORTING
      file_name        = gwa_input
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_not_found   = 1
      OTHERS           = 2.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
Concatenating the physical path and the input unix file name
    CONCATENATE gwa_input p_file INTO gf_file .
ENDIF.
