Hello there,
I have read on the ati website that in order to install properly the
graphics card drivers
I need to have enable the posix shared memory feature
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html
I followed the instructions below quoted
To enable POSIX Shared Memory on your system, perform the following as root:
1. Add the following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already): tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
2. Mount shared memory as follows: mount /dev/shm
3. Issue the following command to check that it mounted properly: mount | grep "shm"
If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) should appear:
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
and the result appeared as it stated above.
But after I edited the /etc/fstab file adding that line and having restarted the system
the outcome was that the ethernet card was deactivated.
On my adsl modem the ethernet light was off, and therefore no internet connection.
In the meantime I removed that line from fstab.
Any suggestion on how to enable the Posix Shared memory feature and keeping the network card working ?
Many thanks,
Sergio
Unless you are using some OLD version of Linunx. posix shared memory is
probably already enabled. Type mount and look for /dev/shm.
