 Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2005 2:26 am Post subject: strange nonroot xorg problem |
 |
|
I recently built a new computer and switched my nvidia card out of my old computer and into my new one. I replaced the nvidia card with a rage 128 ultra.
After installing DRI and the various ati related utils and recompiling the kernel I figured I was ready to start up x.
If I run X as root, I have no trouble, but if I run X as a user then shortly after the window manager starts I loose access to all "pseudo-tty". I've tried adding totally new users to see if it might be some remanant files but with similar results.
The exact error is:
| Code: | Setting default value
Failed to read: session.screen0.toolbar.tools
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.screen0.iconbar.mode
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.screen0.iconbar.deiconifyMode

Eterm: Error: Can't open pseudo-tty -- No such file or directory
Eterm: Error: Unable to run sub-command.
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xinit: connection to X server lost.
waiting for X server to shut down

I don't really know how to get more output than that since I haven't really figured out how to redirect output from startx (2>&1 > somelog.txt doesn't work, probably some type of stdio redirection in the script ?)
Anyhow, if anyone knows what might be causing this I would greatly appreciate the help.

You want to look at :
| Quote: | hi,
after move the "/dev"-folder (incl. permissions) from a running gentoo-system to my workstation => no success!
after untar the "/dev"-folder from stage3 (incl. permissions) to the workstation => no success!
so i thougt, that wrong permissons in the "/dev"-folder won't be the reason...
BUT, when i made a "chmod -R 777 /dev" (only to check, if the permissions in /dev really won't be the prob), the problem was SOLVED!
(okay, now i will leave the big smile on my face for this evening...
and search the ONE wrong permission later...)

I got the problem after upgrading to kde-3.4.1 for both my x86 and x86_64 systems.

I found my problem. When migrating from pseudofs dev to ufs I had disabled devfs support.
I thought it was no longer needed, but it appears that it is. When I re-enabled devfs support my problems vanished.
