Ubuntu :: PC Crashes When Trying To Load Xserver
Jan 14, 2011
So, after the last Update, my PC crashes when trying to load Xserver. I can boot in the "recovery mode" from grub and then choose "resume" from the menu. This takes me to tty1. From there if I try to startx my computer crashes again and I'm left with a black screen with no hints as to what went wrong. I even tried
Code:
But the file stays empty because apparently my computer hangs before it has the chance to write anything to it.
Finally, I went to the /etc/X11 directory and searched for any xorg.conf backup files. I only found a xorg.conf.fglrx-0 which I renamed to xorg.conf and tried to load xserver again with the exact same result.
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work either.

I'm running ubuntu 10.10 I have a Samsung Syncmaster 205BW Monitor and I needed a graphic accelerator to run my science software and to view full screen videos. so I installed the NVIDIA 96.43.19 Driver as recomanded by unbuntu. Well the server installs OK but doesn't completely communicate with my monitor, I'm using GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X/AGP/SSE2 Graphic card. I'm unable to set the correct Resolution which is 1680X1050, the driver only list 1280X1024 and doesn't list the correct one.Also the driver Crashes when I try to set the CPU scaling, it's locked on stretch mode. Also when ubuntu loads X it doesn't accept the Xserver settings I have entered in the driver Set Up.The additional driver screen also says the Driver is active but not in use. I sent a bug report to NVIDIA but they never answered me back.

The other day I was in the process of updating an install of Debian Testing (Squeeze). It so happens that the power went out at just the wrong time. According to the dpkg log it looks like it was in the proccess of completing the postinst script for the kernel update I purged all the kernels that were installed and reinstalled the most recent version. Mind you, that the machine booted and appeared to be just fine when the power came back on but I had no gui. So after reinstalling the kernel I still didn't have a gui.So I proceded to purge and reinstall kdm, xorg, xserver-xorg & related, and anything else I could think of.All with out success.This machine has an xorg.conf file. I have edited that file to try the vesa driver instead of the intel driver, no joy. I have renamed that file to force a complete auto-configuration of the xserver on launch but no joy.
Code:
(II) LoadModule: "intel"

Though this was just a problem I was having with "amarok," however, It has come to my attention on "Ktorrent" as well.What is the connection? They are both based on the KDE desktop environment.Any "KDE" based program (GTK+?) will crash my GUI (im not sure if its called xserver or xorg or whatever). How do I go about diagnosing this problem? All the other programs run without crashing the computer, however, when I run "amarok" and "ktorrent" (both KDE bassed) my GUI crashes and restarts back to the login screen.

I had some problems upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10, and I had to select the "safe mode" equivalent option in the grub loader to boot, or else my system would hang at the screen with the dots before the login prompt. I restored the packages and now my system works. I am not sure if this is relevant to my problem.
K9Copy worked fine prior to upgrading to 10.10, now it crashes as soon as I load it. I have searched but found nothing relevant to my problem.

I upgraded my laptop from 10.10 to 11.04 yesterday. On the reboot part of the installation and on all subsequent boots, the loader gets as far as the initial Ubuntu splash screen before switching to verbose mode and dying in interesting ways.
If I boot using wireless, the display flashes six times, then sometimes hangs around before reporting: iwlagn 0000:08:00.0: Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load = 4 (this number can be anything from 0 to 10)
If I boot using a network connection, I get the same splash screen and six flashes before the system hands, usually at the message: Stopping userspace bootslash [OK]
I am not keen on reinstalling from CD except as a last resort as I have a number of files that I do not want wiped.

Last night I rebooted after installing all updates. I can now no longer start evolution at all. It fails with a signal 11, not providing any more This is obviously a particularly vexing problem for me, as I can't get to my email at all. I am using the exchange-connector, if that is relevant. I can access my Exchange server via web interface.If I start from the command line, here are the generated error messages:
Code:

I'm opening this thread following the topic forum organization. The original thread are onAs above described, I changed all my system root to bind user and getting back to root. But a consequence of that are vary and maybe take some time to get resolved, but the topic of the thread is:I can't see the mount points on Places for all my drives (included HDD, CD/DVD and USB's). I doesn't use mkdir + mount strategies, because, I had some estrange troubles with, about that later, when I want to use the front end the drives don't mountEx.:Graphical: Click on Places > Filesystem 1GB = mounted on /media/MYBRANDon terminal: mount /dev/hda1 /media/usbstick = mounted on /media/usbsticGraphical: Click on Places > Filesystem 1GB = mounted randomly on /media/usbstick or /media/MYBRAND or doesn't mount.

I'm currently trying to get the game "Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" working on a second XServer. So far, it runs nicely. However, I've got no sound which probably definitely isn't even connected to the game itself but rather PulseAudio, the XServer or the Ubuntu implementation:Sound on the 1st XServer (desktop) works perfectly. As soon as I start the game on the second XServer (and automatically switch to it), desktop sound is suspended (Totem even crashes) while there is no sound coming from the game. Also, people can't hear me talking on Mumble. When I switch back to the Desktop I can hear the game's (i.e. the second XServer's) sound, can listen to music again and people also hear me on Mumble again (and vice versa). A look at pavucontrol tells me that Enemy Territory is accessing and using the correct audio device. Switching back to the game yields the same result as 2)
Further notes:I have added my user account to the audio group. When started on the first XServer, Enemy Territory runs well and with sound. However, this is no solution for me as it affects the game's performance and I can't minimize the game then.)
Ideally, I'd like to continue listening to music and using Mumble while playing Enemy Territory. But first of all, sound in ET has to work at all.
At the moment I'm completely confused and don't even know where to look for an answer. I have found several bugs that might be involved in this which I'd like to mention for documentation purpose. The proposed solutions (1. using ck-launch-session, 2. running PulseAudio in daemon mode) haven't worked for me, though: [URL]
Unfortunately, I can't remember whether sound worked on the second XServer when I installed the game the last time (because there were other problems preventing me from playing it). According to this guy it did.
I'd be grateful for any hints that might point me in the direction of solving the issue. If necessary, I'd also get my hands dirty and look for the bug in the source code. If I just knew where to start? So, even if you don't have a solution for me, you can maybe answer the following? In Ubuntu, is sound (PulseAudio) supposed to be associated with an XServer instance? If so, is it only the X session currently being displayed which is allowed to play sound? Or should the sound of all sessions get mixed and be played no matter which X session is active?
PS: I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

I have compiz fusion and an ATI card (FGLRX driver) installed. This means that my windows are painfully slow to resize/min/max. This has bugged me for awhile, but apparently someone found a fix, as specified in: 107_fedora_dont_backfill_bg_none.patch
[Basically, they commented out most of a function].
how do I apply this patch? It causes problems for people using KDE on intel cards, but that won't bother me since I'm AMD on gnome.

Recently upgraded to 11.04 - everything was working well in 10.04. However, running programs in wine (or running wincfg) now causes the xserver to lockout after a random interval. At best, I get dumped back to the gdm, at worst it needs a hard reboot. I've tried using wine versions 1.3 and 1.2, but both cause the same problem. I've also tried installing ldfontconfig from 10.04 as I read that this was a resolution for people having similar issues, but no joy.
I'm running 64 bit ubuntu, and have an ati graphics card
This is a real deal breaker for me - I need MSOffice, but really don't want to go through the hassle of downgrading to 10.04.

Have to say I am loving the new Ubuntu (Lucid), however I have the same problem I do every time I upgrade and that is the maximize/minimize delay in Firefox or any open window for that matter. In the past I have installed a deb file called xserver-nobackfill and it fixes the problem, but I cannot find one for Lucid. I try an older version and it tells me a newer version is already installed. I know Lucid just came out yesterday, but I wondered if someone knew where to look, or something to try

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?

Now I tried installing the KDE destop enviremont, the install went just fine but when I try to log into KDE I see the startup screen for a second then everything goes dark.It stays that way in the background i think the desktop is there because the mouse cursor is there, I can move it around but that's all.Does KDE work differently and so can the different xserver be the cause of KDE not working?

I had my Lenovo T60 laptop working on Ubuntu 10.10 with visual effects and everything except for one thing the screen would flicker constantly I began to fiddle around with the Xserver trying to fix the flickering but I somehow regressed and am now unable to use visual effects. The Xserver fails to load any devices when I try to start it. Included is a copy of my xorg.conf file.

It does this all the time whenever I reboot and I hadn't rebooted my PC in months simply because it's a GOD DAMN pain to figure this crap out. I need a REAL fix.
My computer turns off and boots, it goes directly into Recovery Menu. It refuses to boot normally. I load low graphics mode, it doesn't even let me make changes to the configuration file, OR let me have ONE session in low graphics mode. I've tried reconfiguring xserver, re-installing nvidia drivers, STILL the same effing garbage. It's starting to **** me off. I'm mostly a Linux noob, and I hate trying all these "tips" that don't work to make my stupid display work. I use gnome. Any advice, tips whatever to make this work? If you need something, I'll try my best to get it but I'm on my other computer right now so displaying my configuration files will be a pain. :/ Before I installed vesa, low graphics mode wouldn't work because it said the vesa module didn't exist and it also said no screens.

i tried to get some glx support to my X11/xfce4 so i read some threads and i just wanted to try out nvidia-settings to check out how far i've come. it told me to run nvidia-xconfig (which i did) afterwards X refused to start at all, so i copied back the old xorg.conf.i know that X has changed a year ago or so and xorg.conf isnt really of any use (so that file is "like" empty, just three lines or so).whatever, now i cannot login to my old xfce4 environment, i get the loginbox and type in password, after 2 secs i get a black screen with some errors (blinks away after half a sec) a black screen with a cursor and then get back to the login screen.

When booting to kernel 2.6.38-10 I get an error about it not being able to load the nvidia drivers/kernel module. 2.6.38-8 works fine. Actually I do not even get the error unless I run 'startx' but instead have to hunt through the logs for it.
I do not even get the usual low resolution mode, just the text terminal so this is an serious issue especially since grub no longer prompts at startup for alternate boot options. Probably the worst change in Ubuntu since it makes it much harder to recover from something like this.
I think it might be due to the GTX 460 card I have, I noticed other people have had the same issue in the past with this card.
Nvidia drivers installed from the kubuntu repository version 4.1.0 NVIDIA 270.41.06.
How do I fix the drivers, or alternately what is the change in the grub menu to change the defaulted booted kernel?

I'm having troubles with ubuntu Natty."Randomly" I'm thrown out back to the log-in page; I saw some threads online talking about xserver crashes but I didn't find any solution.I noticed it happens more often (but not always) when I use this matlab code to delete all the matlab figures.
Matlab code (not mine):
-----------------------
f = findobj(0);
f(f == 0) = [];
set(f, 'DeleteFcn', '')
f = findobj('Type', 'figure');;

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?

When i open one of the web browsers i use and try to load a web site it's taking to long to respond and sometimes it doesnt load the website at all. I have tried with firefox,epiphany,opera with all the same results. I am sure that this is not a problem with my internet connection because i don't have these problems with windows.Also the network manager connection settings are correct
I also tried choosing the old kernel(2.6.32.24) to boot from but no success.The problem is the same as if i am using the 2.6.32.25 kernel. The strange thing is that i can download packages from synaptic with full speed. Last think.I have recently downloaded the recommended updates from the update manager but i don't remember what are the things that where updated.

Everywhere I've looked it says to run

Supposedly, this is supposed to open a window where I can change settings. However it does nothing and just returns me to the prompt.
