I have a small issue of Xorg. Every time I boot the ubuntu 9.04, the X will crash immediately after it started. Then, it will start again and shows the login interface. It went well after the second login. I don't know what caused this since there is no error message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/gdm/*.
View 5 RepliesMy system is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 with Radeon 5770. The system was rock solid and everything working fine until the latest update I applied 30 minutes ago. The system is stuck on the little circle icon before the login screen.
I'm not able to ssh or telnet to the machine to check the log files. I edited my grub.conf a while back and I don't seem to be able to call up the recovery kernel. I can read up on the grub options.
Ive been having some problems with a Compaq computer with Lubuntu installed. The problem is that Xorg crashes at random displaying a white distortion on the screen and it usually doesn't let me go to a terminal and i have to force a shutdown.
the same happened when I tried to install Ubuntu but worse. Another side effect is that lubuntu at boot up displays its logo in 16-bit colors and then goes to normal colors.
how can i diagnose the random crashes?
I've been having some problems with xorg and sometimes when I go into a fullscreen app such as Supertux (The stable package) or Sonic Adventure DX in Wine and exit out of those applications or any other ones my whole X-server crashes.I'm using an Intel GMA965 card on an inspiron 1525 laptop

If the tablet is plugged directly into the KVM, it crashes every time. Instead, I have the tablet plugged into my Mac laptop, which is itself plugged into the KVM (TrendNet USB w/audio).
Xorg seems to crash randomly and with no real reason. Once it does, I can't restart it. If I try to restart it with GDM, nothing will happen. However once it crashes, Ubuntu's low graphics mode window pops up. Telling it to reconfigure the xorg config seems to do nothing for my problem. I will still crash after words.
Right now I'm running in an earlier kernel, hoping this will keep it from crasgubg

I've freshly installed Debian Lenny 5.03 with xfce from cd, but I'm having intermittent problems with X. Mostly X will startup fine, but occasionally it crashes. If I'm lucky, it will just shutdown and just return me to the text-mode login. But if I'm unlucky, it freezes completely, such that even the alt-SysRq key combos won't work.

I'm using the most recent version of Xorg that is available in the Debian repository (unstable) and it flashes the NVIDIA logo and crashes the whole computer immediately after. Ctrl+Alt+F[0-9] do nothing when this happens.
I've tried reverting to an older NVIDIA driver, but they either cause the same issues (27x.y.z) or require version ignoring for ABI (26x.y.z) which leads to a segfault.
I would be fine running vesa for now, but it doesn't support 1366x768 resolution so I either have to deal with a bad resolution or have part of the screen cut off.

I have a Radeon 4850 Graphic Card with ATI Catalyst as its driver, so I try to reinstall the driver hoping that it will fix the problem, which is a bad logic I admit it, and It fails to uninstall (for some reason the uninstall script is gone) and reinstall (problem with file extraction).
I've just recently upgraded to lenny using aptitude (following the instructions on debian.org. All went smoothly, and almost everything is working fine.I have had my X server crash twice since then, both times when I simply doubleclicked a running application. There is some indication of problems in the Xorg.log file, but it's not helpful to me -- can you help me understand?

Now I have some details after checking all the threads about catalyst so posting a new thread. The problem: In korganizer (or To-Do list in kontact), whenever double-clicking or right-click->Edit.. a To-Do item in the summary list window, it crashes Xorg.

Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting I think it has something to do with the amd/ati catalyst driver and korganizer. My video card is XFX Radeon HD5670. I have Fedora 14 x86_64 latest update with xorg 1.9.1-3. I tried catalyst 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, and kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64. Same problem.
If I use vesa driver, or from another PC with proprietary nvidia driver, no problem. Open source radeon driver works ok but sometimes the display turns off and I can't get back the display. And I need 3D. I scoured through the forum and followed the instructions exactly:

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning Ubuntu 10.10 on a Sony Vaio VGN-NR430E laptop.My system had been running noticeably slow lately, so I decided to poke around the system monitor and see what was eating my resources. Xorg peaked at around 50% cpu, so I decided (in a rash decision) to remove it. Went to Syanptic Package Manager -> completely remove all "Xorg server" packages ( was alerted that Xorg itself would have to be reinstalled for this to happen, "OK" ). After Syanptic finished, I looked back to the System Monitor and saw Xorg still there, still eating CPU. Out of frustration, I selected "End Process".The grub loader still works so I can switch between kernel versions and "recovery" mode, but a normal boot simply takes me to a black screen. I tried sudo apt-get update from Recovery mode, only to get an error when connecting to the repositories.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a weird problem. Sometimes Ubuntu freezes when I'm booting up, sometimes not. I would say 2 out of 3 times it crashes, all other times it goes fine. I alway get past the GRUB bootscreen, then it starts loading. Towards the end or so, all of a sudden all disk activity stops and the screen hangs. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, Escape, whatever buttons I press, it doesn't do anything.
I removed the "quiet" and "splash" boot options in GRUB so I could see in detail what is loading, but this doesn't make any more sense then before. The lines of text are always a bit different every time it happens so I can't really pinpoint when it goes wrong. Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with the output on my screen, I guess the real problem is not displayed.
I also tried booting into recovery mode. Also here this is strange. Sometimes I make it to the recovery screen with the options (resume, clean, netroot, ...), sometimes it crashes before that. When I get the recovery screen I choose "resume", this usually works and then I use "startx" to go into graphical mode. However, at other times, when I choose "resume" it freezes even before I get a login prompt.
So please guys, tell me, what is the problem here? How do I find out where I should start looking. Ubuntu sometimes freezes and when it does it doesn't alway happen at the same place as before. I know only 1 thing for certain, once I'm fully booted I don't have any problems whatsoever, everything seems to work flawlessly.
I am running a dual boot system with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows7/XP. I am running kernel 2.6.35-24 (also tried 2.6.35-23, but no difference). I have an i5 CPU, so 64 bits. If you need any more information, just ask.
So I'm trying to get two fingered scrolling on my Ubuntu 10.10 netbook. According to advice fromhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516798I created an xorg.conf file in etc/X11 and put Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"in the file.

first of all I would like to say that Im not a very advanced Ubuntu (8.04 Hardy Heron) user. I have used it a couple of months, and got a long with it fine.. Yet, suddenly everytime I boot the Laptop the screen is Black with white lines, (no the monitor is not broken). When it asks me to chose a O.S. I have tried different ones. I can get into recovery mode without problems. Yet, when I start any other version (Ive got different ones, .16,.17 (I dont know why)) it freezes at the login screen. I can move the mouse but the caps lock doesnt even work. Sometimes (1 in 20 times) I do get to login, but after about 2-5 minutes the computer freezes.. (again i can move the mouse but nothing else works). Thats why I wont be able to use Gparted or any other programs to completely delete Ubuntu! I dont have another pc, so I wont be able to download that either.
What I have tried is reinstalling Ubuntu, yet it just kept the other Ubuntu versions no the computer. What I would like to know from you guys, how can I delete everything that is on my harddrive, so I can use the Ubuntu CD to reinstall?And yet another question, what problems could there be with my computer? I don't have windows, could it still be a virus? What parts of the laptop could cause this problem?I know that I have been quite repetitive throughout this post, I just want to cover everything.
I messed up my xorg file and now my pc wont start, when i boot ubuntu the display tells me that there is no input.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu Intrepid on a Dell laptop. I turn it off at night.Every morning when I turn it back on and open Firefox, I have to wait while the machine is busy/freezes for maybe a minute. This usually happens twice, but sometimes three times. The processor light is on solid when it does this.I've run TOP from the terminal, and it says it's XORG that's running.
This only happens when Firefox is running, and when I first turn on the laptop after it being turned off for a while. Every morning, when I first run Firefox, XORG takes control of the laptop. Not a big deal, but frustrating and worrisome.
I have a older computer that i am trying to load ubuntu on it. I can put in the CD and restart the computer and the boot menu will pop up, I can click any of the options like install ubuntu or anything else but once i click it, it will take me the another screen where it will say loading... please wait then it goes away and i sit there looking at a black screen for 20 minutes while nothing happens. What is wrong why cant i install ubuntu, or anything else except for windows.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed debian on my ibook G4, but when I start up the computer, it doesn't boot into Xorg. When I tried to start Xorg, it says that it is not installed. How would I install it, and how would I start it? When I do the apt-get install xorg, it doesn't work. Right now I'm running ubuntu on it, but I really want just plain debian, as I really dont need all of the bells and whistles that Ubuntu offers. I just need something to do schoolwork on (I'm a highschool sophmore), and I don't want to use OS X for that as I like linux better (specifically debian and ubuntu).

There was an xorg update that I did today (June 8) and when try to boot into runlevel 3, it stops when it gets to starting up sntp. I also saw that it said DHCP client not running. When I try again (push the power button) and allow it to do what it wants, everything seems to start up just fine. I'm asking about this because I need to re-install my NVIDIA graphics card driver. For the boot options, I've tried clearing the text (I don't remember what they are at the moment) and typing:
Code:
nomodeset 3
and when that failed, I've tried it as
Code:
nomodeset3
but still get stuck at the same spot. I've also tried it without clearing the text but still it gets stuck.
How can I get to runlevel 3 in order to re-install my graphics card driver? I cannot run my 3D software without it. Can I switch to runlevel 3 from the usual (normal GUI) screen? I can't remember the command. I'm running SuSE 11.4.
I found in my xorg.0.log the the xorg ATI driver is failing ALL options.

This also worked well as expected.
But, when I rebooted again, I got a black screen saying that �No modules found. Press any key to restart�
When I press a key, it says �No operating system found�, probably after checking through a network (it printed lines starting with PXE).
I tried exactly in the same way with Ubuntu 8.04 in my machine, and this worked without any problem. The Bootloader was not corrupted after restarting from Windows. I noticed the problem with Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. I feel like a problem regarding the bootloader version. AFAIK, 9.10 and 10.04 is using GRUB2 when 8.04 use the old version of GRUB. Will I have to switch to the legacy GRUB? (I would love to keep using GRUB2). If yes, I would like to know How.
