Debian Configuration :: When I Startx / My Two Screens Stop Receiving Any Signal
Jul 17, 2010
I've been looking for help on the #debian irc chan, this was my problem:when I startx, my two screens stop receiving any signal.I was using the vesa driver, so the guy told me to use radeonhd driver instead (I have a radeonhd graphic card)when using radeonhd driver, it tells me that no screen or monitor is found then he told me that I should install fglrx and that he couldn't help me for this
Just downloaded f10 last night. Install goes fine, but when I boot it goes to root command line. I enter in startx and recieve and error.
(EE)Unable to locate/open config file (EE)open /dev/fb0: no such file or directory (EE)No devices detected
Fatal Server Error: no screens found xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error
I was trying to install the nvidia drivers then when I reboot all I get is a command line. Startx does not work, it says no screens found. I was dumb and uninstalled the nvidia drivers too not realizing my internet didn't work in the command line. I need to install the drivers from the live cd unless there is another way. I don't want to have to reinstall!

My usual aptitude safe-upgrade routine has not throw any errors. I do remember a libxcb-* package updating (or installing?) on the last run. This is the only relevant package I can recall.
I just installed debian (Jessie) in my computer and tried to install Nvidia drivers. This is a task i have done many times and never got a problem but today...
Here you have my output...
X.Org X Server 1.16.2.901 (1.16.3 RC 1) Release Date: 2014-12-09 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian Current Operating System: Linux PC-Server 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ck
I'm running debian (AMD64 dist), and I recently upgraded via aptitude to KDE 4.3.4.After the upgrade I found that I could no longer start X (using startx from my user account).I am, however, able to launch kdm from a root command line and log in as a user to X this way (graphically).I want to run startx as a user and I cannot figure out where the hangup is. I've looked in my Xorg.0.log files comparing .old to current and nothing stands out. After I launch 'startx' the screen goes black and the computer waits. I can hit ctrl-alt-f2 and bring back the text-mode terminal screen; it's at a point where it looks like X is working. From there, I can control-c it and get back to the command prompt.
I'm thinking this is a software configuration thing but I don't know enough about how all the systems tie together to figure out where the problem is.
I have a signal handler in my tool, which is registered and used between some particular interval (i am using timer). Now this signal handler should NOT allow any other handler to be registered or invoked after this handler is once registered. Is there any way to accomplish this?
I've bought a new notebook. The hard drive won't stop spinning down and then spinning up again during load. I don't want HD power saving, so I disabled it within
Does anyone know how to stop ubuntu (when loading) looking for wifi signal's in the 5000000 khz range? I have a problem with other devices around my house that operate on this range of frequencies and it effects ubuntu while its booting, to the extent that it won�t load. My wireless router is on the 2000000 khz range therefore I only really need Ubuntu to look for devices on this range of frequencies. If anyone know a way to prevent Ubuntu looking on the 5000000 khz range by editing something I would be very greatful to know how to do this.
As at the moment I am having to boot about 5 times until it eventually decided to load. Sometimes the only way I can get in, is by going into recovery mode, dropping to terminal and typing in: "sudo gdm" and eventually I get it. Which is a right pain. Please see my previous post outlining my problem: [URL]
I upgraded a wheezy box in qemu to jessie (without systemd!) and now I didn't get an output from the console to a hostterminal using curses.System and grub starts with terminal output, but after around 6 to 8 lines of output the terminal gets black. As far as I found out it seems that the init process switches to graphical output. I tried out all found kernel options from nomodeset up to nofb,Are their other options to stop switching to framebuffer and graphical mode.
After install debian 8, I can't see system start and stop message from console ... How can I enable system message from console in debain 8?
debian 7 output ---------------------------------------------- root@demo:~# service apache2 restart [ ok ] Restarting web server: apache2 ... waiting . root@demo:~#
debian 8 output ----------------------------------------------- root@demo:~# service apache2 restart root@demo:~# <=============================== No message (start or stop)
I have Debian Squeeze AMD64 bit release. It finds my wired ethernet connection and ues itfine, although nothing shows up in the top right corner under the networking icon.
When I plug my mobile phone in (HTC S620) it always uses this as the main internet connection and then even if disconnected wont use my wired connection until I reboot.
Is there a way to stop it doing this or at least have my wired connction as an option so I can just click to reconnect to my ethernet connection?
I am using debian squeeze server with asterisk 1.6 installed and configured.my problem is non root users need to access the server using ssh and restart asterisk server after making changes in asterisk configuration files.As of now i am giving root username/password for this process (i know it is not at all a good idea) .now how can i create a username and configure it which can only access and modify asterisk configuration files and restart asterisk server without any other privileges.
I am the author of an internet radio for the Raspberry PI originally running on Debian Wheezy. The radio (radiod) service is started and stopped using the usual service commands:
service radiod start|stop|status
Since upgrading to Debian Jessie the service status and stop routines in my radio daemon are no longer called.
For example:
# service radiod status ● radiod.service - LSB: Raspberry PI Radio Daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/radiod) Active: active (running) since Thu 2016-03-31 20:17:07 CEST; 15h ago Process: 380 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/radiod start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/radiod.service └─603 python /usr/share/radio/ada_radio.py start
If I call my program (which runs as a daemon) I see the status message from my program
# ./radiod.py status radiod running pid 603
I have established that service stop never calls my program routines to shutdown the radiod daemon when the system is rebooted (I see that from my log files).
The reboot hangs for about 5 minutes whilst stopping the radiod service (because stop never calls my stop routines).
Below is my radiod script, which is fairly conventional, and which has been working all the time until I ported to Debian Jessie.
/etc/init.d/radiod #!/bin/sh # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: radiod # Should-Start: # Should-Stop:
I'm using debian 5 x64 with xfce.Is there a way to configure (start/stop/restart) services (especially Apache2, mySQL and PHP) using a graphical or cli tool? I tried to use sysv-rc, sysv-rc-conf, rcconf and rc-conf in the terminal but Bash didn't find them (Although Synaptic show that sysv-rc is installed).
I previously used 11.1 with KDE 3.5. Since I have /home on a separate partition I decided to install 11.2 from scratch to avoid any conflicts with KDE 4 installing. No problems on first reboot and some updates were installed. Now at each boot I'm dropped into text login. If I try <startx> I get <no screens found> and /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives <screens found but none have usable configuration>. However if I add vga=952 at the boot screen (for a 1280x800 laptop) I get into graphical login and everything works well (yes even KDE 4). Below is an snip from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I have recently configured the kmail to receive mails from gmail through the pop. I have followed the gmail's tutorial,[URl]I was able to send messages, but not to receive them.To say the true, I received just one mail and never more.
I have been able to log into a tty[1-6] as root or my user, and then startx -- :1, while logged in as myuser and running X on tty7, , but this somehow skips my default desktop manager (GDM3) and boot straight into LXDE (with no menus!). In /etc/X11/default-diplay-manager I have: /usr/sbin/gdm3 ? How do I get startx -- :1 to start a desktop manager?
Related 2nd question: When I did the above startx -- :1, it would start the X session in the same tty (e.g. tty2) where I was logged in when running the startx command. It used to be (in older Linux versions) that startx -- :1 would start an X session on tty8 (and the default would be :0 on tty7). Is this the (new) way things are supposed to work?
I have a problem with my gui . i have I810 onboard graphics . it says something like ( agpgart not there ) celeron 633mhz old machine 256 mg ram 20gb master and 7 gb slave . first drive is debian 2.4 and slave is winxp . i also have a lt winmodem i would like to get goin . i cant seem to figure out how to mount the floppy . i tried vi /etc/fstab but cant figure out the lingo .when i loaded it before i had everything working ,kde , floppy ,sound, but no modem .im totally stuck in command line (witch is fun ), because my cdrom went out so i cant just reload debian. i hope this makes some kind of sense to someone .
I downloaded and installed the debian 8 ppc netinstall on my powerbook G4. upon the option of which desktop environment I wanted, I de-selected debian desktop environment (I only selected printer and utilities.) After finishing the install I am prompted with terminal. I logged in and did the following:
Code: Select allnano /etc/apt/sources.list
to include
Code: Select alldeb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
I updated Debian system yesterday. I am getting black screen after I execute startx command. I am using system as server and manually boot into GUI mode whenever required.
After upgrading from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, I figured out I needed to install the nvidia drivers in order to play some Steam games. Went to Debian wiki, installed drivers from there, rebooted, stuck in command line. I can't remember what errors did it give though. After a couple days of searching on the internet the problems and trying different things like purging everything nvidia and reinstalling the drivers in different ways and still no success I thought : Perhaps I installed the wrong nvidia drivers?
Did some research, found out that I might have an Optimus system ( from what I read, I have one because I am in possession of 2 graphic cards, an intel and an nvidia one . Installed Bumblebee, everything worked fine until I rebooted and once again, I couldn't move out of the command line. Tried to startx, error no screens found. Opened log, nothing wrong until it gets to the part of loading the nvidia module, which fails and tells me such module does not exist.
Looked into the module folder, there is no nvidia there. I'm also running a dual-boot Dell Inspiron N5110, with Windows 8.1, which I am currently on and Debian Jessie with GNOME.
