Ubuntu :: Install Buttons In The Little Xorg Intro Gui Running?
Jan 7, 2011
I recently upgraded the memory in one of my computers running Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 to 4GB of RAM from 2GB.It's a Biostar TA690G AM2, with an Athlon X2 BE-2400 in it. It supposedly supports up to 4GB of RAM when done as 4 1GB sticks, at least according to the original manual that came with it. Upon start up, I no longer get my login screen, it appears to crash when it gets to the part where it starts up Xorg.
At first I figured the memory might not be happy with the computer so I ran Memtest86, every thing seems fine there. So I try the recovery boot to the root prompt with networking. Everything seems to work fine there, at least as far as a root prompt with no gui goes.. However, if I try startx here, it crashes again.
Ok, so I then try an Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 boot CD. I get the Try/Install buttons in the little Xorg intro gui running. It's getting my hopes up now. However upon clicking "Try Ubuntu" it thinks for a second or two and then locks up, with the busy mouse cursor icon still spinning. I don't have windows installed on this computer, so I can't really say that it works fine in windows.
Is there some weird BIOS setting or xorg.conf setting that needs to be enabled so that it doesn't croak? The Bios recognizes the memory, Memtest86 recognizes the memory, and Linux recognizes the memory (at least until xorg starts). If I pull one of the sticks out, it will once again run, but then it's in single channel mode, and I'm missing out on 1GB of RAM goodness.
I have a Sony laptop CPU 2.80GHz HDD 60Gb and 512Mb RAM. I have defragmented.I downloaded Ubuntu 9 and burned to CD and all begins well as follows:
1 booting logo 2 Opening dialog screen 3 screen full of text(lasts about 5 seconds) 4 a screen full of mosaic patterns appears 5 a mauve screen flashes (with small rectangular patterns on it 6 that's it - I have to switch off after 10 minutes or more!
Sent for the CD from Canonical - same happens as above. A friendly suggestion offered was to try the alternate iso. I downloaded this and unzipped the files. These are scattered around the desktop in folders and files. How do I burn these to a disk?(get them together or just start with the"install" folder?)I'd like to persevere.Hello!

Everytime I try to introduce my password the OS takes every single letter as an 'intro'. If I want to type, for example, 'batman', it will take every single character as an intro and therefore I can't get access to the OS.... what can I do?Btw, all of this began when I was trying to write something in a console. When I tried to type anything in the console was like If I was clicking on the 'close window' button, so I though I was a little bug and I had to restart.
Freshly installed and updated Ubuntu 10, the first thing I did was install Wine and the second was installed Steam under Wine. Steam will run, but the moment it opens, xorg's CPU usage jumps to around 70% and stays there. Graphics card is an old ATI Radeon 9600 pro.
How do I have Xorg recognize a freshly connected bluetooth mouse after X is already running. It is in my ServerLayout section, but sometimes is not connected at boot.
I upgraded my Asus Eeepc 900a to 10.4 yesterday. Since then, Xorg has averaged between 30-40% CPU, and my fans have gone nuts running high/low/high/low, ad nausium.
Any ideas what might be going on? Another clue perhaps: on reboot or shutdown, I get a "program not responding" message with "unknown" as the hung program. I have not been able to determine what this program is or if it is related to the hyperactive Xorg.
I have a desktop PC that I built back when I was a teenager, running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and nothing else. I love it, but for one thing: the dang CPU usage hits at least 99% whenever any application besides Xorg is open and running. This doesn't affect performance too much, but if Windows XP Home Edition never gets close to 100% usage, then I figure there's something going on.
I have just started to have a problem with Xorg it is always using at least 30% of my CPU, and the whole system does not run smooth so if I play a video it does not run smooth, it judders, also even if I drag an icon it judders across the screen. Im running Ubuntu 10.10 2.6.35-25-generic x86_64 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98M [GeForce G105M] (rev a2)
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?
After working with the Install center for a couple of months with no problems I just woke up to find my Install and Remove buttons are not working. They don't give any errors, they just don't do anything when clicked
I would like to install to hardrive but screen resolution is too big, the required resolution is 1024x768. when i try to install i cannot see the buttons needed to install. my video card is S3 unichrome with 3D effects. default resolution is 840X600 is there a solution to this problem. all input is welcome.
I start up the machine and face the following problem after some time passes.
1. applications are loosing top bar containing buttons for closing, maximising minimising. they hang up afterwords.
2. i was downloading using firefox and found that instead of downloading files to download folder it is downloading in root. i tried to move files from root to other folders but it is giving "permission denied" message. Later i noticed it has lost all its history, bookmarks.
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 haven't the cds, and this server doesn't have access to the internet, I tried to look around the internet for packages for this red hat version but they haven't the full packages with all the dependencies. Is there any site that I can get the packages?
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 have installed ubuntu 9.10. on virtual workstation 6.I tried command apt-get install xorg-dev on terminal prompt. I got following error :
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xorg-dev: Depends: libdmx-dev but it is not installable Depends: libfontenc-dev but it is not installable Depends: libfs-dev but it is not installable Depends: libice-dev but it is not installable
I am new to Slackware/Linux and completed the install (Slackware 13 64-bit x86_64).Everything is running correctly.During the install I was asked if I wanted to install X-Windows and I declined.Now I want to install it.I downloaded xorg-server-1.6.3-x86_64-1.txz and installed it using slackpkg.It seemed to me to install very quickly. I see it in the list of installed packages now.What are the steps install a fresh X-Windows on Slackware if I did not pick it during install?
I have downloaded the package into its own directory /etc/X11 with: wget [URL] How do I run that "make" command while the "makefile" in the directory is called Makefile.in? How do I install this Xorg-Server-1.7.1? Apparently you need this to run Gnome desktop
I plan to do a minimal install and then install xorg and fluxbox. I'm not familiar with the way fedora names it's packages. what packages I need to install to get a working xorg. This is just a regular install on a home system with no special needs.
Skype says it needs libXv.so.1 (Which is satisfied by xorg-x11-linXv which is installed according to YAST). Can I install the 32bit libs without damaging my system?
I just got a set of updates from Xorg11 (Index of /repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/i586) repository and now, my X doesn't come up. During update, zypper complained about xorg-x11-libxcb and it didn't get updated. On further investigation I noticed that libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 is missing in the new package (version 7.4-4.2. The one currently installed in 7.4-1.24).
this evening I updated my 11.4 via KpackageKit then logged out when I did Xorg died and I was dumped on the text console.
Looking in the logs I see
-- /var/log/messages Aug 15 17:59:49 linux-vg3v acpid: 1 client rule loaded Aug 15 17:59:49 linux-vg3v kernel: [22090.925299] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 275.21, but

Unfortunately I didn't check the update list too closely. The above seems to indicate that an Xorg component was updated but the kernel module wasn't.
I have a 3rd party driver that is trying to install a touch screen driver, it is looking in /etc/X11 for xorg.conf and it isnt there. The Ubuntu docs pointed me at a diff folder which also didn't contain xorg.conf. c is it located? I will just sym link it during install them remove the link once its done. EDIT: Should probably mention that I'm running ubuntu 10.10 (Which was upgraded from 10.04). And I'm running Desktop Edition
I've just done a fresh install of Lubuntu 10.10 on an older Sony Vaio laptop. Having learned the hard way about editing xorg files, I wanted to create a backup of the xorg.conf file so that I dont have to do another install when I screw everything up. In a terminal, I typed
Anyone experience with multiseat configuration in combination with openSUSE 11.2. Looking for a howto since we don't use xorg.conf to configure X and everything is autodetected by HAL.
After upgrading kernel, system (AMD 780G)refuses to start in graphic mode. Computer services running fine, but there's nothing or some trash on screen when X started. And no way how to get out except restarting or shutting down from remote computer.
Reinstalling, unistalling ATI driver doesn't help. Also manipulations with xorg.conf (install, safe etc previous file versions)doesn't help.
Sax2 detects videocard correctly, but result is same regardless which resolution@Hz is specified.
In logfiles I just can find this
