 Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2011 3:56 pm Post subject: Problem starting X.org |
 |
|
I have recently been trying to install Gentoo to my Samsung N145 netbook. I used the Gentoo installation guide and so far have managed to install the base system. I got stuck installing X.org as it doesn't start. After startx ai get:
| Code: |
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0 )
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0 )
(EE) No devices detected
Fatal server error:
no screens found
|
I compiled kernel manualy, and being fairly new to this, this might as well be source of trouble. |

If you already built the kernel with support for intel graphic card, add "intel" as video card in /etc/make.conf (VIDEO_CARDS="intel") and run "emerge -1uDN xorg-server".
If not, follow this guide: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA . |

Did you follow the The X Server Configuration HOWTO? 'cause, if you did, then you missed some steps. You've got no VIDEO_CARDS defined in your /etc/make.conf.

Actually you have VIDEO_CARDS="intel" off screen right in the paste.

I get the same messaeges.
Should there be Driver "evdev" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/98-keyboard.conf?
| Code: | | ls /etc/X11/Sessions |
It gave me Xsession, is taht normal?
Where does this 98 come from in 98-keyboard.conf? |

No
| Quote: | | It gave me Xsession, is taht normal? |
means you have not emerged a desktop/window manager yet
| Code: | | Where does this 98 come from in 98-keyboard.conf? |
98 is a random choice other than it helps it be the last rule applied, this file is just to give ctrl-alt-del as a way out of X instead of the on-off switch
| Code: | | wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
and post the url

looks like a kernel problem.
should now list 'Driver in use:' for the 'VGA compatible controller:'
if it does what is listed?
if it does not a continuing kernel problem is indicated.
| Code: | | awk '/Graphics support/,/CONFIG_SOUND/' /usr/src/linux/.config | wgetpaste |
and post the url

if you did make changes to the kernel config are you sure that the /boot partition was mounted, that you you recompiled, that you recopied, and that you rebooted?

did the boot succeed none the less? If so:
| Code: | wgetpaste /etc/fstab
fdisk -l | wgetpaste
df -h | wgetpaste |
if not, boot cd, then (using your partition device names): | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc

chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile

wgetpaste /etc/fstab

You must be god. Compiling kernel again worked, X now runs.
About the /home. Not mounting it had no effect on booting, except the error message. I just made the /mnt/home directory and mounted the home partition. I probably just missed it while installing. Doing stuff CLI isn't something i'm used to. Is wgetpaste /etc/fstab and etc. still necesery, because everything seams to work (yeah, who am I kidding, I'll be back here soon  ) |

/mnt/home is wrong. the tarball extraction gave you a /home directory.
put /home in fstab like | Quote: | | /dev/<your home partition sd??> /home <your home file system> defaults 0 0 |
Then move stuff from the home directory on the root partition to the /mnt/home directory on the home partition.
| Code: | mv -rf /home/* /mnt/home/*
reboot |
when rebooted you can rmdir /mnt/home
confusing enough?

sorry, slow on the uptake here, just figured out what you were telling me:
| Code: | mkdir /etc/portage
nano /etc/portage/package.use |
edit to | Quote: | | net-nds/openldap sasl |
This will add the USE flag 'sasl' just for openldap
| Code: | emerge --resume --keep-going gnome-light # will emerge what can be emerged while
wgetpaste /var/tnp/portage/net-nds/openldap/temp/build.log # tells the actual error |
post the url
part 2 and 3 of the handbook are helpful in dealing with portage
