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.
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:
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

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 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 was running update manager in ubuntu and my system froze completely. I had no other option but to manually switch of the PC. Then after restarting the PC I got some error lines but I can't remember what they said. It didn't matter which linux version I chose from GRUB, nothing worked. Today when starting up shortly after the Ubuntu 10.10 screen with the blinking dots below it I see a dos type screen with only a flashing cursor and nothing happens.
Is there any way I can fix this? Or repair the ubuntu installation without loosing all my data/settings etc? I'm running now from the live CD. I can access the disk drive that has ubuntu installed on it. I have XP running on a separate disk and I can boot into XP from my motherboard's bios boot menu.
I have jessie and i have installed kdenlive 0.9.10-2, and it crashes at startup. I try to get a debug trace:

I've recently installed the Fedora Core 14 on my laptop. Unfortunately, when I try to launch Fluent preprocessor Gambit 2.4.6 it immediately crashes giving the following message: Received exception: Assertion failed in /usr/local/fluent/build/gambit/dev/gambit_lnamd64/include/BPPTREE_CC.hpp, line 288: status == 0 I'm absolutely clueless of what might be the cause of this problem (all dependencies are resolved, at least all i know of, and all the updates applied, however the problem occurred both pre- and post-update). As i have already mentioned, there were no particular (aside from the libXm.so.3 ones...) difficulties in using it on former Fedora releases.
I am using ubuntu 10.04 and made some changes in Xorg.conf to try enabling twinview. Unfortunately, Ubuntu just stops at the startup logo now. Is there a way I can stop the loading of X, so I can undo the error in Xorg.conf and hopefully make Ubuntu load normally again? Grub automatically loads Ubuntu, there is no Grub menu that allows loading of some alternative config.
Hi. I'm using Fedora core 6 with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8776-pkg1 driver.
Everytime my system boots with /etc/inittab set to "run level 5" the GUI login displays quickly and then just as quickly returns me to a console login. I know that X hasn't crashed, because i hit Ctrl + Alt + f7 and I have my regular login. Of course, I can't restart X from virtual console 1 as it is already running.
Has anybody had this problem? It only happens on occasion. What am I supposed to do?
I am a Ubuntu 10.4 Linux User (32 bits)! I installed the CodeWarrior Development Studio v10. The installation was OK. However, I am getting an error when I run cwide (see below). The problem seems to be in the library libpemicro_jloaderh.so.

I am having plasma crashes for the past few days. I'm running KDE 4.5.2 and it was all running fine. Then the latest runs of updates happened and now I can't get a desktop. KDE runs but plasma fails to start leaving me with a black screen and a mouse pointer. This happens in both failsafe and normal, with or without a fresh .kde4 folder and consistently! Here's what the KDE bug window tells me.
I am running openSUSE 11.2 KDE desktop. (Also use LXDE as an alternative desktop because I am running on a P3 with 512 of RAM.) I originally had followed the guidance at Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums and had Amarok and Xine both working satisfactorily for several weeks. Now, for some reason, both apps begin to load and then crash.
Been trying to setup my xorg.conf file to have a 1920x1200 screen.Strange behavior: when my X starts up, I see my mouse cursor, can move it around. It's small enough to suggest the 1920x1200 resolution took, is working.However, the rest of the screen remains black. No login prompt.I've looked at /var/log/xorg.conf, no errors.Is there something else I can look at?
I just updated my ubuntu to 11.4 and restart but it stop on "Checking battery state. [OK]" line while start up. However it starts in recovery mode -> low graphical configuration mode. Is there any solution for this?
I found in my xorg.0.log the the xorg ATI driver is failing ALL options.

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
Alright setting up a friends netbook, display has been a little iffy (slow. glxgears is giving like 100fps). Couple issues: xorg.conf doesn't exist (i know thats typically not an issue) and "sudo xorg -configure" and "sudo xorg --configure" both return "xorg command not found."
glxinfo say that its using Mesa for the software rasterizer and that the driver is from mesa. lspci says the VGA controller is from Intel. I'm thinking xorg is defaulting to vesa for drivers, but I need to know how to change that to the open source intel driver
my laptop is running Slackware64 13.0. Today I tried to update to X.org 7.5 (version 1.7.1) from version 1.6.3 shipped with Slackware. I downloaded the relevant source tarballs from www.x.org and compiled them with no errors. The compiled packages are:
My laptop has an NVIDIA graphics card and I'm using the proprietary driver from NVIDIA. Thus I reinstalled the driver after the update and tried to launch X.org with "startx". After a short while the NVIDIA logo appears for some hundred milliseconds and disappears then. But now the screen is blank and it is not possible to switch to another VT via Ctrl+Alt+Fx. But it is possible to login from another computer and restart everything, so that I conclude that the system does not hang.
It is even possible to do work normally with the laptop from remote. If I try to kill the X-server, it ignores SIGTERM and has to be terminated by SIGKILL. But the laptop's screen stays black and empty and does not allow to switch to another VT (chvt terminates with "interrupted system call."). dmesg does not give any errors.

I'm running Fedora 15 with current updates and kernel. I do not have anything special or non-standard about my configuration or setup. I use grsync to sync my home folder files to a remote rsync server on my network. I've checked my hard drives and my memory and everything else I can think. Here is the problem:
grsync will run for some time and once it nears completion it will crash. This, however, is no standard crash. It literally shuts my computer "OFF". I have shared the remote rsync folder through CIFS as well and I can copy those exact same files through nautilus with drag and drop without issue. I have had a few occasions where the rsync process will complete without issue, but this is a rare occasion. Since it powers my computer completely off I do not enjoy the luxury of having any log files or messages to attempt to diagnose from.
I have installed Kubuntu 8.04.2 on a USB stick with persistence to keep any changes I make after a reboot and it works fine. I then installed the 185 Nvidia driver to give me higher resolutions and it works fine.
But each time I reboot, my updated xorg.conf is replaced with the default xorg.conf that ships with that version of Kubuntu and a backup is made of my updated xorg.conf (the correct one) which looks like xorg.conf.20100409135913. I have to put the backup xorg.conf back in place to get my Nvidia driver to work with the correct screen resolutions again. Otherwise my screen resolution is too low.
What could be causing this behavor? I'm sure it not the persistence feature of the USB stick failing since a backup is made of my original xorg.conf.
I might add more information. The xorg.conf that gets changed after a reboot says "This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database." #
1. What is the difference between files (xorg.conf and xorg.conf-vesa)
2. No matter how hard I try I can't change keyboard layout in xorg.conf-vesa (I change it in file ) but there is no actually anything changing, it starts to get annoying - for example - below goes my xorg.conf-vesa, if I uncomment and set line from
I'm running the ubuntu based Green OS and cant get my video card properly configured. i've already gone through the forums to figure out what i need to do to get my ATI card working but my system wont let me access the xorg.conf file. i can see it using the the GOS file editor but it wont let me save the modifications. when i attempt to edit from a terminal window with su privelages it tells me that /etc/x11/xorg.conf does not exist. i've even tried booting into recovery mode and using the root instead of the sudo command. nothing i've tried will let me open the file.
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 just upgraded to the 10.04 and everything works just fine as before (except for skype but that really doesn't matters as it has already been 3 years I'm using ubuntu and I managed to get it to work only once, for miracle I believe ^^). The only real issue I have is this: when I start up my laptop, after the log-in, no sound will be heared as the "speaker" volume level in alsamixer is set to 0; if I raise it from the terminal running alsamixer (as I don't know any other alternative) everything plays just fine, but the next time I boot I do have to do it all over again... So, how can I change the default startup level of the "speaker" in alsamixer?
PS: by the way I do have the very same issue with the screen luminosity but the other way round as is always starts at maximum brightness and I can't manage to get it to start at the minimum, as it did before. At least reducing the backlight if far more quick but a couple of times I forget it and the battery lasted something like half an hour
I currently have one user logged in, and no applications open. My system is using 1.8G of ram, and my conky is showing that Xorg is using 22.92% of it... On a fresh boot, with one user logged in, it normally uses about 500 - 600mb. how to free up that ram? I was using Google Earth a minute ago (it's closed now)
