Linux issues...?? 2005-02-28 - By Alan Jones

Hi All,
A big thanks to Alex and the support guys in Montreal. Famd wasn't
running when the machine rebooted causing the open dialogue crash. So
I just added it to the default run level.
Also after reboot even with those settings gone in console.perms the
nvidia devs were still getting reset to 600 permissions. No idea why,
but I put in place an ugly hack with an init script as follow and
added that to the default run level.
[code]
#!/sbin/runscript
start() {
ebegin "Setting NVIDIA permissions"
chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia*
chown root /dev/nvidia*
eend 0
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping famd"
eend 0
}
[/code]
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers,
Alan.
