General :: Slackware - Running X - (EE) Screen(s) Found, But None Have A Usable Configuration?

Oct 24, 2010

I'm totally new to linux and a more experienced friend advised me to install slackware if I want to get the best possible understanding of how linux works. I've installed slackware but having logged in as root, when I type the command "startx" to load the GUI I get this error message:

(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Oct 24 14:40:24 2010

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.1 With KDE 3.5 - Screens Found But No Usable Configuration

Dec 27, 2009

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.

Section "Monitor"
Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool"
DisplaySize 305 230
HorizSync 30-52
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
ModelName "1280X800@60HZ"
Option "DPMS"
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x800"
VendorName "--> LCD"

Ubuntu :: X Fails To Load With Nvidia Driver: "screen(s) Found But None Have A Usable Config"

May 8, 2010

My system is a Lenovo B500 All-In-One, with an Nvidia GTS 250M video card. nv seems to work okay, but I cannot get the desktop to load with the nvidia driver (nvidia-current, from the repository). I've been hacking away at this for a week and a half with no results. Every time I try to boot with the nvidia driver, the splash screen comes up for a second, the screen flashes a couple times between a "static" screen and tty2, then the screen seems to go to a test mode, where it flashes a series of solid colors indefinitely. Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I see the following:

Code:

(II) May 08 19:06:53 NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is
(II) May 08 19:06:53 NVIDIA(0): enabled.
(WW) May 08 19:06:54 NVIDIA(0): Failed to enable display hotplug notification

I'm on slackware64-current. When I start xfig, it issues a warning "Unable to load any usable fontset". Then, it exits/aborts as soon as I try to browse the library (Shift-l, select a library, bang).Couldn't find much via google about the message. Does it work on your slack current?

Fedora Installation :: Error - No Usable Disks Have Been Found

Feb 25, 2011

I'm in the process of trying to install FC14 64 bit to my Window 7 64 bit system. This new system has a 6.0 Gb/s internal hard drive.When I reboot with the F14 install disk I have made it past the disk verification (is Verified) and then picking a language but then I get the message "No usable disks have been found". In Win 7, the Disk Management window shows that 184 GB of space are free. Is there some disk preparation that I should do to make this space available?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Touch Screen Friendly Music Player - Usable For GNU?

May 17, 2010

I've searched all over the internet for a usable touch screen friendly music player and have found nothing for Ubuntu. It doesn't matter to me if it's just a skin over an existing well known player or a complete application written from the ground up. This is for a car pc. I have been on MP3Car and I have still not found anything usable for GNU linux. The only component I need to complete my project is a good touch screen music player.

Slackware :: Frozen Screen After Running Xlock ?

Mar 28, 2011

I upgraded from 13.1. I'm using Xfce4, I've been using a button on my lower panel to launch xlock. Been working fine the last month. Upgraded to 13.37rc3.pi this morning.

Used my computer today for several hours today (after the upgrade). No problems. Hit my xlock launcher a couple hours ago, animation started. Turned monitor off. Then a few minutes ago, when I turned my monitor back on, black/blank screen, no password prompt. Killed xlock (had to use -s 9); no change. Saw xscreensaver was running, killed that too. No effect on my locked screen.

I then killed kdm and logged back in to an Xfce session. Back to normal now. I hit my xlock button. Got an animation up, typed in my password, and got back to my desktop no problem.

Here's something for starters:

Slackware :: Dual Screen - Disable The Second Monitor When X Is Not Running?

Sep 11, 2010

I would like to use my second monitor with my Slackware (Laptop) setup but they are different sizes/resolutions.

This is no problem with KDE but before X is started and when X ends there are big issues with the TTY0 console being distorted.

Is it possible to disable the second monitor when X is not running?

(Slackware64Current, ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 card)

I essentially want the second monitor to activate ONLY in the event of an X Session and turn off when X halts.

General :: No Default Or UI Configuration Directive Found

Nov 15, 2010

I downloaded SUSE to a directory and copied that to a CD to use for running a trial on a 950 Mhz laptop. The CD does show a directory Boot and the boot directory does contain files. There is also a file named syslinux.cfg which when viewed from MS XP is identified as a configuration file for MS Office Outlook.

On boot attempts from the CD I get the Error message: No default or UI configuration directive found.Do I have an error on the D/L disk or is my proceedure not correct?

General :: Error Running A .sh Script When Extracted From A Jar File - Nstall.sh: Command Not Found

Jan 4, 2010

I am trying to run a script called install.sh as follows: I get a jar file, and extract it using the command: unzip filename.jar -D path/to/files then I navigate to that directory where I extracted the files, and run the command: sh install.sh (where install.sh is one of the files that has been extracted in that directory using the above unzip command.) running this command gives me an error:'nstall.sh: command not found.' among other errors in the script ( from that portion of the script that should not even be executed, which is really weird). However, instead of unzipping the jar file, if I just copied the same install.sh file to that folder, and ran the 'sh install.sh' command, the script runs fine.

General :: File Pk11func.h Not Found While Compiling ECryptfs On Slackware 13.1

Apr 26, 2011

I'm trying to install eCryptfs in my new Slackware system. ./configure runs pretty well, without errors, but when a try to run `make` i got this:

[...]
main.c:25:22: error: pk11func.h: No such file or directory
main.c: In function 'do_hash':
main.c:77: error: 'SECStatus' undeclared (first use in this function)

[code]....

But i do have 3 copies of pk11func.h under:

/usr/include/seamonkey-2.0.4/pk11func.h
/usr/include/seamonkey-2.0.4/nss/pk11func.h
/usr/include/nss/pk11func.h

What's going wrong?, why the compiler can't find the header if it's installed? I don't have too much experience compiling package, and it's the first time i try to it in Slackware.

First time I've done this in awhile Upgrading my Slackware64 -current VM, following the standard routine that has always worked in the past -

util-linux-ng
eggdbus

Installpkg will no longer work, complaining that the rev command is not found. The problem hit with the removal of util-linux-ng. I cp'd util-linux to ~/. Extracted with tar and executed the doinstall. Fixed.

General :: Slackware 13.1 Won't Boot With Ubuntu Studio - Fatal Server Error: No Screens Found

Jan 1, 2011

I have this old box that I used at school that I wanted to re-purpose and use. So i decided to that I wanted to run xp, ubuntu studio and slackware so I can learn about linux and do some other things with xp. I think I got through the installatiosa all fine and dandy, and I installed grub for my boot loader, I can boot into studio and xp, but I cant get into slackware. the grub boot menu is sorta funky too, it shows a generic and recovery mode for studio which is fine, and then another option for xp, some memory test boot option, but then for slackware it shows "Slackware Linux (Slackware 13.1.0) (on /dev/sda4) four times in a row. If I select any of them they all end up with some error; the third SW [slackware] option down the list of the repeated 4 allows me to sign into root, but when I type "startx" i get :

(EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

Fatal server error: no screens found

but thats with a lot of other text above that. if you need any more details, please dont hesitate to request for them. I'm going to take some time and cool down. I'm trying to get these three OSes running from one HD. I've partitioned the 80 gig drive as follows

General :: Change The Screen Resolution Of Puppy Running With Virtual Box?

Jun 18, 2010

I am running Puppy from a usb in Windows 7 using Virtual Box and I can't get the 1280 x 800 screen resolution to work. The probe doesn't recognize my monitor initially in the video setup. When I choose this screen resolution in the xorgwizard it ignores the resolution I select and uses 1600 x 1200. If I try to reduce the resolution in the resolution changer, it decreases the window size but the desktop stays at the same resolution effectively cutting off the majority of the desktop from view. I have been trying the intel, radeon, vesa, and vmware drivers but none of them seem to work. Do I need to install a special video driver? I am using a unibody macbook.

General :: Lost All Running Programs On A Server (inside *screen) When Client Restarted?

Apr 21, 2011

I sshed to a server a week ago, then ran *screen* and created a few windows in my screen session. I then ran a few programs on those screens. All the programs were running in the background (I run them with &). I did not close or detach from the screen sessions. So I was still connected to those screen sessions from my client machine.

Then, this morning I find my client machine rebooted. When I do screen -ls I find there are no screens available to reattach to. But that is not the worst part. The strange thing is that all my processes (which were running on the server) have disappeared as well, even though they were running in the background. I thought 1) using screen I will be able to re-attach to old screens when my client restarts, 2) If I have sshed to a server and have run programs in the background, restarting the client should not stop those programs (even if I had not used screen).
