General :: Unable To Start Xserver On Mandrake 9.2?
Jul 6, 2011
I'm basically a linux noobie, and have a problem with one of my machines I use for work. As the title states I am unable to start my xserver, using the startx command I have been using for the past 5 years. It goes to the blue loading screen with the x for a cursor, hangs there for about a min or so then goes back to the command screen. I get an error:
giving up.
xinit: Permission denied (errno 13): unable to connect to xserver
waiting for xserver to shut down
xinit: Server error.
I have tried logging on as root and trying startx again. Same error.

Using GNOME2.X (default) and Fluxbox on ZorinOS4(upgraded from ubuntu10.10 to 11.04) When I boot up everything goes fine right up until the splash screen. Once I get to that, Screen goes black for 3 seconds or so, Then the command line pops up, Asks me for LOGIN: and PASSWORD:, and after I enter that it starts fsck then says something like:
Code:
/dev/sda5 mounted - sda5 mounted 22 times without check, Forcing check-- sda5 CLEAN Xnumberofblocks/Ynumberof blocks...
Error: cannot start Xserver
If needed I can reboot my machine and write the whole thing out and post it back. sda5 shows it is filesystem, ext4, 25g ,mounted at /,Partition type Linux(0x83), partition flags: - SO after it does a force check it brings me back to hevithan:$ ... I tried typing fluxbox to run that instead of GNOME and it says Error: failed to launch. Xserver is running.. So I reboot, and select: ubuntu-linux version(recovery mode). Look at the startup log it says what I already got in command: Failed to boot XServer is already running. So I select Restart X and it works fine after that.
Things I have downloaded/installed recently:
*Used additional drivers to enable propitiatory drivers.
*Thunderbird
*Simdock (Which I didn't like) so...
*Docky
*A comic book reader (I forget the name but it was in the repos) and a few upgrades to software/programs I already had.
Why is X trying to start 2 times? Why is it forcing FSCK every time? Could anything I have downloaded changed my GRUB or Kernel info and confused the system?

I have just installed Mandrake Linux and everything seems OK apart from the fact that I can't connect to the internet. I presume it's because I have not got the relevant driver (or have not configured it if it's there)y machine was previously running Windows and all the disks I have are for Windows.I have looked in my manual and it says I have a K8NBP GRAND (I think that's the motherboard, you'll see that I don't really know a lot!!) The manual also says Gigabit Ethernet LAN : NVIDIA Gigabit MAC + VITESSE Gigabit PHY - Supports 10/100/1000Base- T Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet.When I was running Windows I just had a network cable running out of the back of the PC connected to one of the LAN sockets on my routerI am currently having to use my wife's laptop (which runs on yet another OS but at least it connects to the internet or I'd be really stuffed).

I upgraded to 10.04 and when trying to boot, the computer would hang at the splash screen. Going into recovery mode showed nothing in the log files. The Xorg and gdm logs were zero bytes but had the proper timestamp. I tried and tried, but could not get it to boot until I removed the nvidia-current package. Then the computer will boot, but the screen is partially corrupted with just a blue background. I can hit enter, then type my password and I can actually login, but I can't see a thing. I can cycle through the resolutions with Ctrl +, but the screen just still has a blue background and nothing else. Trying to boot in failsafe X mode gives the same screen. I tried putting the vesa driver in the xorg.conf, but no change.
I've tried the i915.modeset=0 boot option. I've tried the "xforcevesa" boot option, but nothing will give me a readable screen. As soon as I re-installed the nvidia-current package and ran nvidia-xconfigure, the problem came back and it hangs again.At this point, I'm stuck. I would settle for a plain VGA screen at this point, but I can't even seem to get that. I've read several posts here with similar problems and tried every solution put forth, I think, but have not found a solution.When the upgrade wanted to install the new /etc/default/grub, I kept my old one. I compared the two files at the time, but I didn't see anything new, but maybe I missed something. What new items if any does the upgrade put into /etc/default/grub?

I have the following problem with Xserver which I think can be solved by starting it without the -nolisten option:
Server - (say 192.168.1.1) has the X application installed
Client - (say 192.168.1.2) is a stock standard ubuntu 11.04 client machine with screen and xserver installed.
I need to be able to run the X application on the ubuntu client by exporting the display on the server as follows:
Code:
export DISPLAY=192.168.1.2:0.0
xeyes
I have run 'xhost +' on the ubuntu client to disable access control however I still get the error:
Code:
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.2:0.0
I believe this is because xserver is started with the -nolisten option:
Code:
ps -ef | grep listen
root 1020 989 1 18:21 tty7 00:00:27 /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-V9E9KA/database -nolisten tcp vt7
Both server and client are not connected to the outside world and are in a trusted environment so security is not a concern (I realise doing the above is a serious security issue)
I cannot use ssh tunneling for the xserver traffic as the proprietory program relies on the DISPLAY variable been set to the correct client ip. (Would be great if I could though!!)
I have searched the /etc directory for the -nolisten option and have found the following file: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc. I removed the -nolisten tcp option however the xserver still starts with the -nolisten tcp option.
I have been looking through the xserver manuals however cant find too much relating to this.
Does anyone have any pointers as to how i could start the xserver without the -nolisten option?

I tried my best on searching for the answer to this question. I couldn't find the right command to start another XServer. Maybe I just don't know how to look for it, or I'm using the wrong keywords. Anyway, what I want to happen is hit CTRL+ALT+F6 (F7 to return to my desktop) and start another XServer to run a full screen game. How do i do that? Is it possible to have multiple instances of X?
By the way, the error says that an instance of x server is already running on display 0 after I have issued this command: Code: startx In case you're wondering why this is my solution, it's because scripting is not my type for automatically making an xserver when I click a game, especially if you'd have to do it for all other games :/ So, let's stick to my idea D unless it's impossible, of course. EDIT: I was able to get a new xserver with xterm in it, but it seems there is no acceleration or some sort >.< OpenLieroX runs at a frame rate of 15 fps or so. Anyone have an idea on how to enable acceleration on openbox?

Im currently using windows 7 and I want to shift for Linux. So i thought to start from Mandrake-free. My current filesystem is NTFS which full of windows extension documents. Those capacity is almost 200GB.but im not in a position to backup everything. i got to know from forums that linux perform well in ext3 file system. so i wish to go for ext3. is there any ways to shift FROM,win7 TO mandrake AND
ntfs TO ext3 WITHOUT BACKING UP CURRENT DOCUMENTS ASWEL AS WITHOUT LOOSING ANY OF MY WINDOWS BASED DOCUMENTS.? and i got to know that in a single harddrive(eg 250GB), Its not good for the harddisk to have different type of partitions (eg 50gb of ext3 and 200gb of NTFS). if i used like this will my harddisk got crashed? because this happened to me 4 years ago when i was trying to install winXp(in ntfs) and Redhat(in ext2) in the same hardisk. i was working initially. but was in 2 days that HDD got crashed.

I am running Debian 7.0 Wheezy amd64...I installed Debian's nvidia driver earlier but I was having a few issues with OpenGL. So I removed those drivers using "apt-get remove nvidia*" and installed proprietry NVIDIA's driver from their website.Now the issue is, my apt-get/synaptic does not work anymore because it is trying to remove xserver-xorg-video-nvidia and failing to do so.
Code: Select allThe following packages will be REMOVED:
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia

My efforts to install the new Firefox3.6: are going nowhere (literally, it seems)! After entereing: $ tar xvjf firefox-3.6.tar.bz2 on my linux box: [GCC 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk)] on linux2 the end result comes to nothing. What I should (why would it be different from any other install?) end up with is a new directory "firefox3.6" or something very similar. I don't. I get nothing. Nadda. Once I hit the "tar xvjf..." button, I get the usual 'print (to screen)' flurry of activity. A sample:
firefox/modules/SpatialNavigation.js
firefox/modules/FileUtils.jsm
firefox/README.txt
firefox/libplc4.so
firefox/application.ini
firefox/searchplugins/
firefox/searchplugins/answers.xml
firefox/searchplugins/google.xml
But, I'll be darned if I can find all of this afterward. There certainly was not (as I've noted) a new directory created:
[Code]....
The "firefox/" directory that is part of the above listing? Notice the <Jan 15> date. Obviously an effort from another time. The listing [above] was generated with "ls -t", so the most recent activity is at the top. I simply can't find all the unpacked stuff that was generated with tar. I've looked in /home/.mozilla, tried "locate", all to no avail. "Google" can't seem to understand the problem I'm encountering. Who'd care to tackle this on this beautiful (snow free!!) Sunday morning?

Summary: Video fault on boot when KDE starts, but only after being shut down properly and turned off. Rebooting yields a perfect boot, removing power while running yields a perfect boot.
I'm working on a very strange problem for a client and I think I've hit a brick wall. In a nutshell, when the system is booted up all indications are normal until the GUI starts. I briefly get an hourglass on a black background (it's normally blue) and then just a black screen with a corrupt line of randomness across the top of the screen. The weird part is that this ONLY happens after the system is shut down and turned off.
If I kill power after I get the corrupt desktop, it will boot into KDE just fine. Also, if I reboot instead of shutdown it will boot correctly.
For now, I've told them to boot up until it freezes/corrupts video and then perform an alt+SysRq+REISUB to reboot into a usable system. After that it works as expected, so they basically just have to start up and then reboot if they ever turn the equipment off.
The equipment rack has an identical redundant computer drawer as a ready spare, complete with a seperate hard disk and all. One hard drive came pre-loaded from the manufacturer and the other was loaded with the same software by the client from media provided by the manufacturer. I've swapped hard drives with no change and the client has reported swapping the entire computer with the ready spare with the same result.
The problem reportedly only surfaced a few weeks ago, but of course they can't think of anything that "happened" a few weeks ago. This is all new equipment less than a year old, but it may have been sitting in a warehouse for a few years before being installed.

Yesterday I thought I had solved my "Blank screen boot"-issue when I successfully got to the terminal login screen without the screen going black by booting with
Code:
Linux acpi=off
I spoke too soon. I found out shortly after that when trying to "startx" with acpi off gave me these errors:
Code:
WARNING: Error inserting i2c_algo_bit ("filepath"): No such device
WARNING: Error inserting intel_agp ("filepath"): No such device
[Code]....
Then I read somewhere that booting with "i915.modeset=0" might work. So I removed acpi=off from lilo and added this, and sure enough, I got to terminal login, but I get the same errors with "startx".
I must make it clear that I can successfully perform startx when I boot without "acpi=off" or "i915.modeset=0", I am unable to see the screen but I can hear the KDE fanfare, etc.
