Can't browse drive in FM after doing setup 101 - stormy - 06-15-2021

Hi guys,

As the topic suggests, I've been following the Irix setup 101 guide in the wiki but after rebuilding the kernel and rebooting I can't access my drive in the file manager anymore, any suggestions?

Hmm, did you mess with FAM? The FAM stuff should be set to local, yeah, but it looks like a service is turned off.

Edit: It's also necessary to reboot if you already haven't.

Make sure DNS works on the IRIX system.

Yeah, make sure NSD is on too!

Sorry guys could you be a little bit more instructive for me, ie; checking that I have NSD and DNS etc ;D Is there an easy terminal command I can run?

chkconfig nsd -- is it on or off?

Also, /etc/resolv.conf , and other network stuff. Is that all functional?

Chkconfig nsd returns nothing, and yes the internet and resolv is all good.

   
Also I get the following messages on start and shutdown:

   
   
Fixed!!!

I found this great guide online:

Which made me realise I'd disabled fam in inetd.conf Smile
(I think I got over zealous when editing it in the guide and disabled it by accident)
