 Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 8:59 am Post subject: Problems getting X to start |
 |
|
Hi, I'm just trying to install gentoo for the first time and it seems my system is now working, but when I boot up, I only get as far as a text console asking me to login. There could be many things that I've done wrong, but as I couldn't seem to get it working I tried to textually configure X and then when I ran start X after booting with the live CD and chrooting, I got the output shown at the bottom. I have onboard nvidia 6100 GeForce graphics, so I have the Driver set to "nvidia" in my xorg.conf, I have included my xorg.conf below, sorry for all the text but I thought it would make it much easier for someone to help. This error in the output at the bottom might point to the problem
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/modules.dep: No such file or directory
as it is listing the wrong kernel version, I am using 2.6.19-gentoo-r5, with a couple of things manually configured, but I don't know how to tell it to look in a different directory.
Many thanks for any help,
Rob.

try modules-update.

| just tried, no output from modules-update, so I guess it worked OK, then tried startx again, but same error as before, it still seems to be looking for the wrong kernel name. Any other ideas from anyone? |

Also be aware that the nvidia-drivers package must be used with the kernel it was compiled against, if you're booting off a live CD and chroot-ing, that might nit be the case. Why are you booting off the live CD?

what exactly do you mean about compiled "against" and how would I go about ensuring this if I recompile the kernel, sorry but I'm very new to this!
[quote=Why are you booting off the live CD?[/quote]
so that I have a windows manager and can use useful programs like firefox to search for help and answers on this forum for example  otherwise, I can't launch firefox AFAIK from the console as x doesn't start when I boot. |

verify that uname -a reports the same version of kernel installed to /usr/src/linux. if not, you will either need to upgrade your kernel, or fix your /usr/src/linux link.
ps: do this from a cold boot without livecd.
cheers

Just tried this as you said without the livecd, logged in as root at the console that comes up at boot, then typed in startx, the screen went black and I couldn't quit using ctrl-alt-backspace, or any other way that I know of, so had to ctrl-alt-delete. So, it's a development, but I'm still not sure how to proceed, thanks for all the help! Oh, and uname -a reports the right version of the kernel, I must have been seeing the livecd version before. |

Once booted normally, before you start X, try doing a
| Code: | | emerge -av nvidia-drivers |
and then an
| Code: | | eselect opengl set nvidia |
then try at to start X.
If that still don't work, post the most recently modified X logs /var/log/

with being in the right environment (no livecd), try re-emerging nvidia-drivers or try different versions. i found some work better than others with certain cards.
cheers

tried it, no errors that I saw from emerging, there was a beep at one point, but didn't get to see what it said. No errors from eselect, but still a black screen and no way of quiting when I tried startx. So here is the most recent log:

Hmmm, no errors, so maybe you just need to configure your X login bits.
What desktop are you going to use? Gnome, KDE, Enlightenment, ...?

I'm going to use KDE, what would I need to configure on X login that would be causing the problem? Sorry, but I really don't have a clue how to solve this. |

Also, change your "Screen" section from:
| Code: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864"
EndSubSection
EndSection |
to:
| Code: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864"
EndSubSection
EndSection |
Also add
| Code: | | Option "RenderAccel" "on" |
to your nvidia "Device" section.

in /etc/rc.conf specify the XSESSION. also specify DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/conf.d/xdm. they should do the same thing, but specify both and do a /etc/init.d/xdm (re)start.
cheers

I already have
XSESSION="kde-3.5"
in my /etc/rc.conf, it says in there that DISPLAYMANAGER has moved to /etc/conf.d/xdm, and in there I have already set:
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
if those two are correct, than that shouldn't be the problem. What is a /etc/init.d/xdm (restart)?  |

Yup, you do need to specify what Desktop System you'll be using, otherwise you'll get nothing. Have you actually installed KDE then?
..But I must say, the fact that you get no X screen when you start X is still a concern, you should at least get the grey default X screen if nothing else. I'd be happy to post a revised xorg.conf if it seems X isn't running properly.

It (re)starts XDM login manager. you just run

it (re)starts xorg and whatever login manager you specify in those 2 files.

but I have specified it, as I said in the post above haven't I, or is there something else I need to do to specify it? I have run:
emerge -v kdebase-startkde
which I understood installed KDE?

That's what I thought, if you think a different xorg.conf would help then I would be very grateful as at the moment I have to keep rebooting using the liveCD after I try each suggestion so that I can see the forum!
Thanks again for all the help,
Rob. |

Ok, try this for an xorg.conf. I've tried to copy the relevant bits from your config to a more tidy version I have. Hopefully there are no mistakes!

See how that goes and report back 
Don't delete your old config, just rename it.

just wondered, could it be a monitor resolution problem as when I used the xorgconfig, I specified 1280x1024 and the Modes setting below taken from my xorg.conf is a different value:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864"

Maybe for the purposes of testing, you should change the Modes line to:
Modes "1024x768"

Did this and looked up the horizontal and vertical sync rate here for my compaq v75 monitor:
http://www.man.lodz.pl/LISTY/PECET/2004/07/5436.html
and used those values (60.0 - 68.7 horizontal and 75.0 - 85.0 vertical) in the xorg.conf file, then rebooted, but went to console again and startx produced the same black screen which I couldn't exit.
Have to go out now, thanks for all the help and would really appreciate any more ideas that anyone might have and I will try them when I get back!
Thanks,
Rob. |
