Fedora Installation :: Removing "rhgb" From The Bootline - Not Worked Xdriver=vesa
Jan 26, 2009
I am unable to install fedora 10 (both Live_CD and DVD) as the screen freezes at the Login page in LIVE_CD and in the welcome page in the DVD installation. Anyway i have narrowed down the issue by goin via the forum. Issue is with the graphics card only. I have tried the following steps to get around this issue,try removing "rhgb" from the bootline - not worked xdriver=vesa - Worked, i got via the Login page in Live_CD but the desktop is not completely visible and its freezes. vga=ask - not worked as i dont know which option to choose try removing "rhgb" from the bootline I am using 845GV motherboard, onboard Graphics card.

I just upgraded a F9 to F11 using the network install. After the successful install message, I rebooted to find the boot stuck on a grub prompt. After determining that somehow grub had not been installed properly, I used the rescue mode to re-install grub. When I then rebooted, I saw a blank (black) screen during the rhgb sequence, with just the multicolor progress bar moving from left to right. As the bar reached the right side, the standard F11 login screen appeared. The system is an old Omnibook 8000 laptop. Here is my grub.conf
Code:

I'm not sure, but I think this is hardware. Anyway, I have two different boxen running FC14. One has a Nvidia 9800, the other a Nvidia NV96. The former I use as a desktop, the latter a server. I've let the server go with whatever the system autodetects for video, but the desktop I've played with a ton: nouveau, nvidia, etc.
Anyway, since I upgraded both to 2.6.35.9-64, both go to sleep at some point during rhgb. I can't find anything in boot.log, messages, or what have you to try. This happens even if I go to runlevel 3, so unless I'm misunderstanding the boot sequence, this is way before X starts.
Now, just upgraded to 2.6.35.10-72 tonight, and the behavior slightly changed. Before, it would show the rhgb loading screen for a few, but then the monitor would sleep before it completed. As of this kernel, it just goes to sleep right away.
The only quirky thing I can think is that I'm running DVI out into a KVM. I have been making sure to have the machine as the active video when it boots, so it should still be able to feed EDID info to the machine, but I did notice when trying to track down nouveau/nvidia problems on the desktop that X was having trouble reading my EDID all the sudden.
I'm assuming there's some automagic default now that's putting my monitor out of range. The only way I've been able to keep the desktop running is to not have the nvidia driver installed, but also not have a driver type specified in xorg.conf. If I do that *and* specify a modelines, I can boot with rhgb off at runlevel 3, then manually start X. From the Xorg.0.log, it appears to be falling back to vesa, which is the only thing that works.
How can I debug this? If the monitor sleeps but there are no messages in boot.log, messages, or Xorg.0.log, how can I even figure out what rhgb is doing?

what i did was, remove evolution mail from synaptic, what i wanted to do was just remove the indicator applet from the task bar. i read a bunch of bad stuff about removing evolution from synaptic vs just removing the applet.
im worried. did i break anything or put my security at risk. after, i used a command (older) (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)to install ubuntu desktop. because i thought that it would fix evolution. then i went to synaptic and installed a package called evolution. i rechecked evolution in applications menu. however, i notice that i have both a checkable evolution and two evolution icons. nothing 'seems' broken. im not sure if it ever was. and evolution calender pops up as normal, as does the the installed plain evolution. they both seems to be an exact copy of the other.
all i really wanted to do was remove the indicator applet. did i make a serious mistake. since ive had ubuntu, ive reformatted a lot because i was worried i made a mistake of some kind. however now im into the more "make a mistake and fix it stage' as im pretty happy with my current desktop and have worked hard to customize it. the command, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages removed the mail icon. i still am worried that i broke something, or put my security at risk. also, now i have two mail icons. evolution mail and calendar, and another just called evolution.

After an update a few days ago, my X install believes I only have a Vesa card. I can't get it believe the nvidia drivers are installed. Not sure what info is relevant, so here's a start:-
[root@undertaker ~]# rpm -qa | grep nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-195.36.15-1.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-195.36.15-1.fc12.x86_64

I'm installing Fedora 11 x86_64 from the DVD iso. The SHA256 checksum was fine, and the media checked out fine just prior to install. The F11 install seems to go perfectly and I get all the way through the installation. However, on reboot, I get this message, "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"!!!!I'm installing to an old Intel 975XBX2 motherboard with 4GB of memory, which I have used successfully, flawlessly for every single Fedora install since F6. I've only been using one hard drive with a FAT32 partition, and an NTFS partition for Windows XP, the remainder of the disk is Fedora.I've probably tried this F11 install about 8 or 9 times already with no success; actually, the installation seems to go perfectly, but I just cannot boot the PC. I think there's something wrong with GRUB being written into the MBR of the hard drive, because I cannot boot DOS on that FAT32 partition, I can't boot into the NTFS partition which contains XP, nor can I boot into F11.Anyone else having problems with the boot? I've been a long time Fedora user and was counting on the reliability of F11: Wondering if that Anaconda re-write had anything to do with all of these problems?

These should be my last pleas for help with regard to Fedora 13. I've been unable to turn off the notifications that appear in the top right corner, despite a decent amount of searching on google. I can't remove any notifications package without removing a bunch of important software along with it. Also, F13 refuses to "Safely Remove" either of my external disks. I have to yank out the usb cord, touching wood each time.

I have installed a CentOS server with no GUI. I am trying to get RHGB work on startup. I did:
yum install rhgb
It installed rhgb and vte. I added 'rhgb' to the line in my /boot/grub/menu.lst :

How do most experienced Fedora users remove packages with large number of dependencies?
I know that the question is as old as yum, but still I can't find solution. There is package-cleanup tool, which supposed to do the job with "--leaves" key, but it doesn't seem to work. Right now I have F12 installed. I installed rosegarden with `yum install rosegarden`. Then I removed it with `yum remove rosegarden`. If I understand right, `package-cleanup --leaves` must show all of 12 dependencies that was installed with rosegarden, but it shows none of them (although it shows few packages). Is this a bug? For years I used Ubuntu and Debian and I was completely satisfied with apt.

I've been using Gnome for several years and haven't had any real problems with it. Now, however, I find the descriptions of what Gnome 3 and the Gnome Shell quite unsettling. That is, the Gnome devs have added a number of things I don't want, removed things I do want and made it impossible to configure Gnome 3 to work anywhere near what I want without adding unsupported third-party extensions. (Note: this is neither a complaint nor a flame; it's just a statement of my personal taste and any attempts to argue about it will be ignored.)
Currently, I have installed XFCE and am very happy with it on my two F14 boxes. I know that if and when I move to F15 (or F16 if 15 continues to be as problematic as it is so far) the upgrade will include Gnome 3, even though I don't use it. I'd like, therefore, to remove it but without removing any bits and pieces of it that are needed by whatever programs I'm using. What's the safest way to do this?

I had the 180.xxx nvidia drivers on my FC10 setup.I installed the 185.xxx and am running into issues. It gives me the fatal server error: no screens found message. Before that it says that the nvidia kernel module is 180.xxx and the driver component has 185.xxx. I can't seem to figure out how to uninstall the previous module to make this work. I removed the yum kmod nvidia. I'm running this using sh nvidia.185xxx.xxxx.run . The weird thing is that it sometimes would work but then I would restart and it would break again.
Thanks in advance,

I have installed F12 on my laptop, and got rid of the two-tone blue and white progress bar at boot time. On my other machine it just refuses to go!
How can I get a normal text-mode bootup, so I can see which services are starting?

I just did an upgrade and it included the kernel. As time goes by, I will be stuck with a lot of kernels to choose from, and lower disk space. How do I remove an older kernel and everything it's related to it without breaking stuff?

Is it possible to install a different windows manager?Currently I am using a HP Netbook 210. The windows manager I am using is gnome-shell that comes as default with Fedora 15. However, I am wondering if I could completely remove this and install a different windows manager. For example I would like to try the xfce 4.8.
I am not talking about completely removing Fedora 15 and then installing Fedora 15 xfce spin. Just the window manager.How easy would it be to remove gnome-shell windows manager and then install xfce 4.8 windows manager?

The installation went okay (to start with) on my newly formatted hard drive (after death of Windows XP), but I got an error about 3/4 of the way through. The system said something about starting the desktop to try to resolve or fault find the problem. So I now have a desktop with access to all the menu system. I am feeling my way around slowly getting used to the environment. I think there are bits missing from the install but with no frame of reference I cannot tell what exactly is wrong. One obvious problem is my Monitor screen resolution. In Monitor preferences it is set as 'unknown monitor'.
The detect monitor button does nothing and the resolution is set as 2048 x 1536 which is just too small to see properly on the screen. I am currently using zoom to increase within a window to use at all. I have tried opening a terminal and using the xrandr command which reports the following:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 2048 x 1536, current 2048 x 1536, maximum 2048 x 1536.
default connected 2048x1536+0+0 0mm x 0mm

I had a wubi install- but it only let me dedicate 60 GB. I quickly ran out of that available space and decided I'd better try one of those tools to move my stuff on a partition of it's own.
I just used LVPM to transfer Wubi to the HDD, and.. it worked. Almost.
All I had to do was edit my grub file. I did that in Wubi, opened the menu.lst file with gksudo and added this just before windows: (I want Ubuntu to be first on the list, ofc)
Code:
# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.

(Please tell me if anything up there isn't needed, is wrong, or if I left something out..)Now it makes me press "S" before I can see the login screen at boot-up.
I want the quickest boot possible for Ubuntu, with a way for us to use Windows if needed.
It's looking for an Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 CD, and I have the 10.10 Alternate AMD64 DVD.. and that message doesn't respond at all... I can press "S", and then it goes to the login screen, all works fine. I can update, I looked to see if the check-box for a CD upgrade was checked, but it wasn't.. I ticked the box (just for science), put in the alt-disk, and.... again it waited forever.. So that must be the wrong CD. Unticked it.. Also I just updated this morning fine. Still, that 'Press "S" to skip' at boot up is annoying
Do I have to download the standard Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 ISO again.. (before it kept freezing), or is that futile.. I mean, all it's going to do is downgrade, (if it does anything..) right?

I upgraded my system today from Kubuntu 10.10 (or whatever the last full release was) to 11.04 using the automated web process. I know, I know, I should have tested off a live cd or a thumb drive, foolish mistake. On upgrade the video card works, and it boots fine... but I have no keyboard and mouse. I checked the forums and realized that maybe it was a problem with the brand of keyboard and mouse I was using. so I've tried four manufacturers (even tried switching between wired and bluetooth) to no avail.I've also tried starting in recovery mode, but the problem persists.
To be specific, my bios sees the hardware just fine, and I'm able to hold down shift and pull up the selection options pre-OS, and select which one to run... and I can see the red optical light on the mouse no problem, so it's not a defect of either the motherboard or the input devices themselves. However, once in the OS, in recovery mode, or anything else, I'm left without a keyboard or mouse. As my system only has USB ports and not PS2, I can't check a hardware spec beyond what I've tried.Also, it doesn't work if I select the "boot into an older version of linux" which is odd.Can someone make a recommendation? Is there a way to get a liveboot cd of the previous version of Kubuntu that worked?

I did an inplace upgrade on my Dell Latitude X1 from Fedora 14 to 15 using dist-sync as per instructions on the website. It was not entirely smooth but I believe all the packages are now present and correct. Initially, about half the packages were still on f14 and the machine barely booted. I booted single user (nothing else was possible) and persuaded yum to fetch & install the rest.I was using wicd on 14 to connect wirelessly and it "just worked". I used wicd because I found NetworkManager didn't work.
On upgrade to 15, wicd now fails, and NetworkManager still does.icd i get an authentication failure, though the pw is correct. The only clue in the logs I can see is that wicd complains of not finding python-iwscan, and doesn't seem happy in using dhclient. Of course p-iwscan isn't in Fedora. Is p-iwlib similar? For wlassistant onnect failed.NetworkManager is currently refusing to acknowledge the existence of wireless on the machine, though occasionally it has addmitted the possibility. Then however I can neither scan for an SSID nor enter one manually ** Using iwconfig and setting the key manually *appears* to connect to the AP, but dhclient won't get IP data for it (if I ask nicely, it appears to try but isn't transmitting anything)The wireless card is an Intel ipw2200 chipset built into the X1. The ethernet port is working ok now, using a Broadcom chip.

My live cd worked flawlessly.
After I installed it, is another story I chose to include the suggested .mp3 codec, and to install updates at the same time.
Cmos and hardware all inits fine, then I get several seconds of a cursor, followed by the nice "ubuntu" title with little orange squares under it.
Interestingly, the squares do not cycle until I hold down the power button.
Searching for "10.10 boot" somehow returned zero results. ??

I have 10.04 installed and Update Manager has worked fine for months, until about 2 weeks ago. When I ask Update Manager to update its indexes, I get this error message returned almost immediately
"Method http has died unexpectedly!
Sub-process http returned an error code (127)
Method http has died unexpectedly!
Sub-process http returned an error code (127)
The internet connection is working fine on this machine. I have another 10.04 machine sitting right next to the problem computer, and Update Manager works fine on that machine. I verified that all settings are the same between the 2 machines in these areas
1. All Update Manager SETTINGS (including SOFTWARE SOURCES)
2. System -> Preferences -> NETWORK PROXY (which is a Direct Internet Connection)
3. System -> Preferences -> NETWORK CONNECTION
It appears to me that the connection to Ubuntu repositories is failing but I can't find anything different between the 2 machines.

I've been using Fedora 10 for a while, but after i upgraded to vista a long time ago, it changed the MBR so my dual boot no longer worked. Coincidentally I no longer needed linux at that time so I never bothered to fix it. Now I need it again and I was wondering how I could fix the MBR to get back my dual boot. When I insert the Fedora 14 LiveCD it just takes me to the OS...
