Slackware :: X Crashes After Update To -current / Resolve This?

Dec 17, 2010

I recently upgraded to -current from 13.0 on my Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop. It seems to have strange problems since then. The X crashes after sometime if I am running a video in firefox (flash based, say .....) in the full-screen mode. When I am not in the full-screen, it seems to run just fine. A similar thread was posted a few days back (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...rashes-846796/) and I thought I had overcome the problem using one of the suggestions provided, but apparently, I just had not run full-screen videos ever since (and I thought it was solved!). code...

I should mention that, the crash happened when I was running a video chat on gmail in full-screen mode too. I have the Xorg.0.log for that too, if it is going to be helpful. Also, one thing I noticed was that even Ctrl+Alt+b_space does not work when this crash happens!! (so, I have to go ahead and reboot the system using the power button everytime) This I find very strange, since if at all, I should have been able to kill the process and restart X.

This seems to be an extraordinarily long thread, but I have put in whatever I thought could be useful info I should give. I will appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Slackware :: X Crashes With Current (3/1/10)

Mar 4, 2010

I just made a current iso and installed current and when I tried to start X the screen was washed out in a rainbow kaleidoscope pattern. I exited out and ran xorgset and Xorg -configure. Both of these hardlocked my system.

BTW Im using a geforce 8800GT. i tried installed the nvidia driver but it still locks when I run xorgsetup.

I have to go to work, so I will post the logs when I get home

Slackware :: Upgrade To Current - Crashes After Reboot

Jan 20, 2010

First: I upgraded my slackware 13.0 last night (Philippine time) to -current. I just download the while current tree (except for source) and copied to my home dir, then do the slackpkg commands.

#1 Added a mirror to my home directory pointing the slackware-current tree.
#2 slackpkg update
#3 slackpkg install-new
#4 slackpkg upgrade-all
#5 slackpkg clean-system
#6 lilo was configured
#7 reboot

It successfully upgraded. Although I'm aware that I have installed openchrome driver and drm kernel module when it was slackware 13.0.

After a reboot, it crashes in between the boot time, if I was not mistaken, I read ACPI something on the bottom of the console, then the screen flickers and goes blank. It locks up there.

By the way, it is a laptop with VIA chipset on it.

(Using the Slackware 13.0 DVD, I booted using hugesmp.s root=/dev/sda3 rdinit= ro for the rescue.)

Trying to fix it by myself (no internet at home) I tried to look at /var/log/messages and cannot find what is the cause (newbie mode). I also tried to disable some services such as hald, httpd, mysqld, bluetooth, wicd, wireless, the old kernel and some others at /etc/rc.d/ by removing the execute bit.

After a restart, still the problem exists.

Now, I finally backup the whole home dir, moved to home-bak and decided to install the fresh slackware-current instead.

Second: I used the 13.0 installer, then setup slackware using the pre-mounted directory containing the slackware-current tree. I only deleted the files except for home-bak and not reformat the drive.

It actually installs, but after the reboot (using the new 2.6.32.3 kernel), still the problem persists.

Slackware :: After Update To Current Boot Is All Messed Up?

Jan 26, 2010

I have just updated current to get the new kernel and things seem to have gone just a little wrong.After upgrading i edited lilo.conf and ran all seemed fine so i rebooted to find my pc wont boot it cannot find modules and there will be trouble ahead it think it says (will check the error and add it).So i thought no problem i can just boot from an old disk i have laying around and fix it from there. I only had the 12.2 install disk or ubuntu 8.10 live cd neither of witch support ext4 which i stupidly decided to format my drives in.

Anyways i now have a ubuntu 9.10 disk and have booted and try to fix things but am miffed at whats going on. If i chroot into my slack root and look in my /boot there is only the old files before the update, but if i mount the drive in ubuntu there are the new files from after the update.What has happened and how can i fix it? It has just occurred to me i could use a tmp dir and copy the correct /boot files there then in the chroot copy them to /boot may work ?

Slackware :: Several X-server Crashes Since Update From Last Monday

Jan 13, 2011

I'm running Slackware64-current. Since the upgrade of last Monday I'm experiencing several crashes of the X-server. It begins with an issue that one Window, e.g. Konsole or Firefox don't become active when clicking them. After some seconds the screen becomes dark and I end up on the console. First error I saw was from akonadi. Deinstalling akonadi didn't change anything. But there is an errormessage about a segmentation-fault in the Xorg.0.log. I'll append the logfile to this post. My graphics-card is an ATI HD5470 and have fglrx installed, downloaded from ATI. My kernel is

Code:
Linux samsung 2.6.35.10 #3 SMP Thu Jan 6 20:03:53 CST 2011 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) II Dual-Core M320 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Slackware :: Should Glibc Be Updated In Current Every Time There Is Kernel Update?

Feb 10, 2010

I am running Slackware64-current(multi-lib) and I have stumbled across something that I don't fully understand.I have read that the kernel-headers should not be updated as glibc is compiled against them and therefore requires that set of kernel headers. Recently the kernel version has been bumped a couple of times but glibc has stayed the same.Should glibc be re-compiled each time there is a kernel update?

Perhaps someone can explain, in very simple terms, the relationship between the kernel, the kernel headers, the kernel modules and glibc.

Slackware :: Custom Kernel Not Boot After Current Lastest Update / Sort It?

Mar 2, 2010

After the bunch of updates with current, my custom kernel (2.6.33) can't boot.

The error is:
/sbin/e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda6

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

The /dev/sda6 is ext4 and is ok since it can boot with official huge smp kernel 2.6.33.

My custom kernel can boot before this bunch of updates in current.
What i missing in kernel?

Fedora :: F13 Crashes On Half Of Boots / Resolve This?

Jun 12, 2010

Hello everyone. I switched over to Fedora a little while ago, maybe a month or two, towards the end of when 12 was out. 12 ran just fine, but around when I upgraded to 13 I started experiencing issues. I first upgraded by switching repositories and installing via yum, which seemed to run fine for awhile. However, came to the point where about every other boot (a little more often, actually), the system would crash at the login screen, not allowing me to login. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or other rescue keys don't work- in fact, if the mouse is still working, they freeze the pointer as well.

Finally I decided to get the 13 DVD and re-install. Downloaded, media checked out, ran the install... and I'm still having the same issues. I know I should be providing more info here, but I'm not sure what log files to look for and post here. A few notes of relevance are that I've tried changing the ACPI settings in my BIOS to be as compatible as possible, and also tried booting using noacpi, which doesn't seem to be fixing it- I also have Nouveau installed.

So, what should I do? Anything I need to provide to help troubleshoot, I'll gladly do.

Ubuntu :: Gnome 3 Random Crashes / Resolve This?

Jun 4, 2011

About 1-2 times a day (3 today and it's just 9 AM here...) Gnome 3 decides to just not care about me any more, crashes and logs me out. No warning, no error on screen, just some black screen with text (like when shutting down the computer and it's stopping services) which lasts half a second, then back to the login screen.

Any ideas what might be wrong or where I could find some logs to post them here?

General :: Evolution Mail Always Crashes In Ubuntu 9.04 / Resolve This?

Jul 31, 2009

I encounter a serious problem with evolution mail in ubuntu jaunty ...
probably after a recent upgrade!

When I click on Evolution Mail icon the applications is loading o.k.
Then at the bottom bar it shows the message "Fetching Mail (...)" And then it suddenly closes... And this behaviour is a standard one.

a) I erased the .evolution directory in case it is corrupted, so forcing the application to re-create it... No success.

b) I booted using the previous kernel (2.6.28-13-generic) The new one is 2.6.28-14-generic ... Same problem

c) I re-installed the application ... No luck!

d) I checked the /etc/nsswitch.conf file... Here is it's content code...

I don't see something strange here ...

Does anyone experience the same problem ?
What shall I do ? Wait for the next upgrade or turn back to Thunderbird?

Ubuntu :: Firefox Crashes Immediately Before Loading Any Website / Resolve This?

Mar 18, 2010

I'm Dual-booting XP with Ubuntu Karmic Koala, heres my other specs:

CPU: Intel Pentium D 3.0Ghz family(15) model(4) stepping(4)
GFX: Geforce 7800 GT (had problems with GFX when I first installed Ubuntu, I had to update my drivers)
2 GB RAM

This is a nearly fresh install of Karmic Koala, I've only installed whatever updates I needed, graphics card drivers, KPlayer, and Google Chrome. Because I prefer Chrome over Firefox I immediately went to download Chrome, and Firefox would get to the Chrome page and then crash. I then got the Chrome install file from another computer and installed it. Chrome will not even launch, so I go to search the problem in Firefox and it crashes on ANY link I click in Google Search. I also tried to directly type websites into the URL box: it loads the pages title (Ex. "Yahoo! Mail"), and crashes before displaying the page at all.

This is a very odd problem to me as I used the same disc to install dual-boot with Win7 and Ubuntu on my laptop which works perfectly, and now this happens to my desktop.

Slackware :: Image / Icon Trouble After Slackware-current Upgrade

Jan 22, 2010

I recently upgraded to slackware-current from Slackware 13 via slackroll, and have only encountered one problem. My file manager no longer thumbnails images, and icons (mostly PNG) aren't appearing no matter what GTK theme is set. Running from the command line produces no errors, and when brought up in something else (say feh /path/to/icon.png) it works perfectly. This is the only hitch I have encountered so far. The same thing happens with emoticons in Pidgin. Does anyone know of a fix?

Slackware :: Slackware Current Installpkg Line 59 Rev Command Not Found

Feb 28, 2011

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

Code:

slackpkg clean-system
slackpkg install-new
The clean-system removed 2 packages -
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.
