For a few days now every time I start xdvi, Xorg crashes completely. The screen freezes and no input seems to have any effect. So I have to reset the PC. I'm on a 64 bit 11.4, KDE setup, the graphics driver is nouveau.
Here is the part of Xorg.0.log, that seems to be relevant:
Today, everything was working fine until I started an upgrade. After the upgrade finished, my bluetooth keyboard stopped working, so i connected another keyboard and CTRL ALT Backspaced. The screen turned off, then turned on, but blank. The login screen didn't show, and i couldn't even switch to TTYl. The only way i got anything to work was renaming /etc/gdm and rebooting. then i had to switch to TTY while plymouth was running. Then i logged as root and ran startx, and it froze, once again. If i try to boot into recovery, it doesn't work either.
I tried to open a movie with VLC and it crashed X, so I tried it in movie player, and then ran the Ubuntu system test. Everything kept crashing X. I was able to watch movies before today The only thing funny in my Xorg.log.old is:
I've been using Ubuntu since Feisty Fawn, so I've been around the block when it comes to upgrades. From 9.10 to 10.04 I did a clean install, but I decided to try my luck with a web upgrade to 10.10. Well, so far it looks like that was a bad idea. I can't stay in gdm for more than about 1.5 mins before it crashes and drops me back to the greeter. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what's crashing, but I'll append what logs I think will give some info.
I have Virtualbox VM with Lenny and I made another hdd copying all files from old drive to new one. But root partition I made to be on LVM and all three partitions are now primary. After using Debian DVD and rescue mode to reinstall grub and reconfigure kernel, the system boots fine, but Xorg fails to start.
i have upgrade my system from maveric to natty and i have install install the driver from Martins [URL]..and since when i try to play a video (with mplayer gnompleplayer ou banshee) it makes Xorg crash and show me the login screen Here is the result of the commande
Code: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk
i was recently trying to run some opengl apps on ubuntu, and installed new drivers for intel. The problem is that now, every time it reaches login screen it crashes. I'd like to remove it, but i can't. Recovery console asks for root password. Is there a way to do it from a livecd?
I found in my xorg.0.log the the xorg ATI driver is failing ALL options.
Code: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [ 8.942] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" does not exist. [ 8.942] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist. [ 8.942] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" does not exist.
i am writing in Latex and tend to view my document in xdvik out of the vim editor. for some strange reason i suddenly dont have a menubar or scrollbar in xdvi anymore. i looked at the manpage which mentioned +expertmode 16 but this doesnt work somehow. in .xdvirc the expertmode is swiched off as well, but it doesnt make a difference if i change it there either. i tried reinstalling, which didnt work. I am able to get normal behaviour back from the commandline via the -q option. however i'd rather just have things back to normal
Simple (I hope) problem here, my xdvi configuration is wacky. It never shows the entire page, cuts off the left side of text. This happened after having to shut the program down a few times due to it hating me.
In any case, the root configuration file works perfectly, so I was wondering if someone knew how to
a) reset user configuration for xdvi to defaults, or
I am using emacs+auctex for latex editing now, I want to change the default viewer for dvi files, since xdvi doesn't render correctly most of my documents; okular works perfectly, though I cannot make it the default viewer I went into the AUCTex manual, and there is a tex-view-program list that should contain the list of viewers, but I cannot find the way to customize that variable.
I've read the how-tos (thank you oldcpu!) and wikis about how xorg.conf take precedence over the section configuration files in etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, if it exist. I also understand that the xorg.conf can be partial. If it is missing some sections, these will be taken from the corresponding xorg.conf.d section config file. Currently I'm using a xorg.conf generated by nvidia-settings in one of my home machines, due to a dual-monitor setup. After generating xorg.conf, the device sections are:
My question is if the Option "UseCompositeWrapper" "True" will be used or not. In other words, if a section exist in xorg.conf then it's correspondent in xorg.conf.d/ will be completely ignored *or* only the lines in xorg.conf.d/ that already exist in xorg.conf will be ignored?
Just upgraded a desktop to openSUSE 11.4 with KDE, and I'm encountering various graphical problems. This machine's been running SUSE versions since 10.0 on similar hardware with few major issues, and I did the 'upgrade' by reinstalling the root partition and keeping the /home partition intact. It has a Radeon 9600 AGP card, which goes under the R300 and RV350AP monikers, and uses the radeon driver (too old for the proprietary ATI driver - deprecated). With the new KMS, it boots up fine under the monitor's correct resolution of 1440x900, though occasionally and randomly then drops to 1024x768 at the login screen. On occasions it will then arrive at the desktop under this lower resolution, other times it corrects itself before getting there.
On starting KDE, the taskbar cycles through various different settings (composited / non-composited) and colours with erroneous shadows. I've tried disabling desktop effects which at least resolves that particular issue. More troublesome is that certain actions result in a garbled display from which it is almost impossible to recover without guessing various keystrokes to cause a logout. Two examples are when running the regular (non-OpenGL) KDE slide show screen saver, when certain transformations corrupt the entire screen, and when opening the Tools -> Options dialog in LibreOffice, though strangely this only causes a problem under one user account and not another.
Running dmesg, I note it is being littered with:
Code:
[drm:radeon_vga_detect] *ERROR* VGA-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID yet I have just the one VGA monitor which is VGA-0, and set as such under KDE. Not sure if that's related or a separate issue.I tried adding 'nomodeset' at boot, but it brings me to a console login and after entering 'startx' I get:
Code:
xauth: file /home/[user]/.serverauth.2891 does not exist
Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error
[code]...
Booting in failsafe mode gets me into KDE but with other weirdness and problems using the desktop. I don't know if KMS is ultimately the culprit or there's some other obvious problem, but this is what I'm left with after a 'fresh' installation (despite the /home partition still being kept from openSUSE 11.3). It's not my PC so I need to leave it in a usable state knowing these corruptions aren't going to occur, and I leave the country next week.
I am trying to use the 'autoconf' command and I keep getting an error message saying I need to have xorg-macros 1.3 or later. I have downloaded both 1.4 and 1.6.0 and tried to install them. Apparently all to no avail, because when I run the autoconf script it comes back as saying I only have 1.2.2 installed. Where do I start looking to figure out what I am screwing up?When I run the configure script in the util-macros-1.6.0 it seems to run right. Then I run make and it says "nothing to do for 'all'". Then I run 'make install' and it seems to run that but apparently it isn't getting installed.
Here is the output of ./configure;make;make install linux-y52a:/home/alton/Download/util-macros-1.6.0 # ./configure;make;make install checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
I am running Crossover Office on a laptop on OpenSuSE 11.2 with a fair bit of success (Outlook is still twitchy related apparently to the http stack). But whenever I do disk I/O to a windows app and I have a second monitor plugged in it flashes to black.
In prior OpenSuSE versions I used to be able to stop this by adding entries to disable the TV output in xorg.conf but now it appears that there is no xorg.conf in use. How do I disable this in the post-sax2 era?
conky require the Double Buffer Extension (DBE) to refresh correctly the screen, in older versions I can add the Load "dbe" in the Module section, but how can I do it with no xorg.conf file? VampirD Microsoft Windows is like air conditioning Stops working when you open a window.

I've been running 11.3 for about 3 days, and have been noticing that it seems to crash with depressing regularity. The symptoms are, from the users perspective, the screen just locks up, mouse cursor won't move, won't respond to any keystrokes, and just dead in the water. But, I can go to another system and ssh back into this one. When I do a top I see at least one and sometimes two Xorg processes owned by root that are grabbing every available CPU cycle. This box has dual cores, so it can support two processes running close to 100% CPU. I tried sending the runaway processes a SIGQUIT signal, which did stop them and did restore normal system operation. But I couldn't find the expected core dump anywhere. If I don't do anything to stop the runaway processes, eventually the whole system locks up, including the ssh session.
I haven't been keeping a real close track, buy my general impression is that this only happens when we have two X sessions running. My wife and I usually keep separate login sessions that we switch back and forth from during the day. I realize this isn't a lot to go on. Any suggestions on what I can do to collect some more info. I particular what do I have to do to get a core dump from the runaway process and what should I do with it if I can get it.
I just upgraded KDE on my openSuSE 11.2 installation. I have never had any problems doing this in the past, but this time, when I rebooted, I noticed that after a few seconds of idle time, my CPU usage goes sky high. I ran top in a console and noticed the culprit was xorg. I am using an NVIDIA card on an AMD64 3200+ with 1 gig of memory. KDE version is currently 4.5.85. Like I said, I didn't have this problem until the last update. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
I tried KDE 4.4. I'm back to using KDE 4.3.5. Very bad experience for me, maybe it's just my system openSuSE 11.1 on AMD x86_64 with 4gb memory. Dolphin was unusable. Deleting a file cause it to crash, go in to a directory with a large number (20,000) of images and it would hang and eventually crash. PIM has removed some of the features I used, main one being ability to add Custom Fields to Contacts and assign categories.
In general, the whole thing was slower, not faster, probably because now it requires Neopmunk to be running and the Akondi server. I'll wait a while and try again and see if it gets stable in first update.
when I want to change theme (control center-> apparence, I don't know the name of the application), gnome-settings-deamon crash. When I lauch "apparence" again, gnome-settings-daemon is restarted and it make X restart ! The problem has come with the upgrade 11.2->11.3Here is the output of gnome-settings-daemon when it is restarted (when X crash)
Code: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:16223): WARNING **: Can not run apport-checkreports (gnome-settings-daemon:16223): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_notify: object class
I sometimes use webkit in Konqueror to view certain sites, but lately I haven't been able to since Konqueror crash everytime I activate webkit. I searched for this issue on the web and found among others this:[URL].. I downgraded Flash to 10.0.45xxx and it seems like Konqueror runs fine with webkit now. However I now got this message browsing Hattrick.org:
icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /etc/alternatives/../../bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window. This error only occur when using webkit, not with KHTML.
anyone has experiment this? If I install KDE 4.5 on a PC without 3D support kwin crash, if I add a 3D capable video card it works O.o VampirD

I have a huge problem with my file server (OpenSuse 11.3 - 64bit, kernel-2.6.34.7-0.7-default). I've just installed an Intel SASUC8I card, connected 3 of the 7 Samsung 2TB drives I have to it and after about one hour, it dropped 2 of the disks. I've managed to trace the problem to the card BIOS, which I've replaced with the non-raid edition, so it should now work fine with the kernel raid now. The problem is that I can't find a way to "un-fail" these 2 disks. I'm more than positive, that these drives are just fine, only the controller was misbehaving. The dropout also couldn't have created any data inconsistency either, since the 2 drives dropped out virtually at the same time and there was no writing being done at the time. I've tried add/re-add, I get either mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md0 or mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/sdi1 as 7:
Invalid argument (depending on the raid being run or being stopped, in either case, mdstat reports it to be inactive)
For a normal or forced assemble, I get mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 5 drives and 1 spare - not enough to start the array.I've been googleing like crazy, also trying to get info from mdadm's help and man, but nothing seems to deal with such a freak accident. An other interesting thing is, that if I reboot the system, mdstat shows md0 as inactive, but lists all the devices with no flags. It's only after a run command, that it changes to the 5 remaining devices, all with (S) flags. Alternatively: does anyone know where device failure info is stored? If I could in some way remove this information from the system (even by reinstalling the OS), I should be able to reassemble the array... Or is it stored in the member drive super-blocks? About 80% of this array's data is backed up, so if all else fails, I can restore most of its content, but I'd much prefer to reassemble this one as a whole, since there was absolutely no chance of data corruption.
I've installed OpenSUSE 11.2 x64 on my Intel Core 2 Quad machine with 8GB of RAM nstallation went perfect. After the main installation, I've installed the XEN-kernel. Booting into the XEN-kernel goes fine.But, now I want to install the first domU (paravirtualized). I use the same installation disk but OpenSUSE 11.2 won't install. It crashes directly. Neither the x64 or the x86 version works.The strange thing is that I can install OpenSUSE 11.2 as "full virtualized".Also, OpenSUSE 11.1 (paravirtualized!) as a domU works perfect!!
I have tried install drivers of Ati ,9.10 and 9.11 always same result black screen, i think problem is information on installation system is on glibc 2.1 but, I have tested and glibc 2.3 and 2.2 are installed, for that the result is :
Unloading radeon module... Unloading drm module... [Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
The crash happened when I was reading a web page and the screen went black and the mouse pinterr dropped to the middle of the bottom of the screen and froze. I had to do a warm reboot to get going again. I'm using 11.4 with KDE.This is the section of the /var/log/messages from around the time of the crash at 16.42/16.44.
Since I updated the Kernel I have the problem that the NIC crashes, with following failure:
May 9 08:53:26 server kernel: [ 292.704044] ------------[ cut here ]------------ May 9 08:53:26 server kernel: [ 292.704054] WARNING: at /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-desktop-2.6.37.6/linux-2.6.37/net/sched/sch_generic.c:258 dev_watchdog+0x233/0x240()
Sometimes, after a reboot or when re-launching the graphical desktop with startx it yells at me: Can't... (and failes).Normally, the permissions for /usr/bin/Xorg are set to:
Code: -rws--x--x 1 root root 1791736 15. Apr 18:30 /usr/bin/Xorg but when the error occurs and I look at the perms I find:
