Boot without graphics interface

Hi all,
when I power on my iMac early 2009 24" the system goes on without graphics layer. On the screen there are unix messages and the root prompt at the end of rows. There aren't error messages. At the root prompt I write reboot and the system reboot correctly starting with graphics layer as normal.
Is there anyone that can suggest to me any solution?
thanks,
Antonio

  • Stuck on "Reached Target Graphical Interface" GNOME

    I was a bit hesitant to post this because I know there are tons of topics about this already, but after several hours of troubleshooting I've gotten nowhere and I really could use some help.
    I got Arch installed earlier today and decided I was going to use Gnome as my DE.  I installed gnome and gnome-extra using pacman -S and everything seemed to go fine.  It asked me to chose between something called mesa libgl, nvidia and another option.  I assume these are the drivers; I just chose the default "mesa".
    I then used systemctl enable gdm.service.  I'm not sure if something should have happened, but based on other threads I've read it sounds like this should have launched Gnome. 
    Either way I rebooted expecting it to launch Gnome, but it gets hung up on "[OK] Reached Target Graphical Interface".  The only way out is to Alt+F2 then log in with "root" and my password.
    Can someone tell me what logs I can post that can help and how I can get those logs to my Windows boot?  I currently have Windows 7 on an SSD and Arch installed on a second hard drive.  I have no idea how to copy or save the logs to bring into Windows (or if that is even possible).
    I just installed Arch this morning with the newest ISO file.
    My graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 570

    Correct me if I am wrong, but to me it looks like you went straight for Gnome without setting up X, or your graphics card.
    I had a quick look at the Beginners Guide -after a very long time-, and to my surprise the Post Installation part had changed. Setting up X and graphic card has moved to
    a different wiki page. I am wondering, did you look through this page?
    - If you want your graphic card to work properly, you probably would be better of with the nvidia package.
    - After installing Xorg an de video drivers why did you not just re-enable gdm?
    That's exactly what happened.  I wasn't aware I had to configure Xorg or my graphics card when I finished the initial setup.  Thanks for the link. 
    When installing the nvidia package, do I need to uninstall the previous driver packages?

  • Windows 7 In Place Upgrade Pre-Windows boot and Graphics issue Alienware M17x

    So I'm having multiple issues here.  The first issue surfaced immediately after I removed and reinserted my graphics card.  For reference The computer in question is an Alienware M17XR3 with an AMD 6870m.  Anyhow, The issue I had then was
    that my built in display showed a black screen (would see a quick flicker of what was supposed to be on it when changing display settings but then a black screen) after Windows botted up.  I could use an external monitor with no problem, and safe mode
    or Windows without graphics drivers allowed everything to run normally.  The on screen display also works normally on boot screens or boot disks such as the windows install disk and Hyrens boot CD.  I am assuming my graphics card is shot.  Either
    that or my motherboard.  Input on this is greatly appreciated.  I do intend to upgrade it myself to a 6970m, but I won't have the money until another 1 or 2 paychecks roll around, and I woulld like to be able to use the on-screen display sooner than
    that.
    Anyhow, to ensure that it is a hardware issue, rather than a software issue, I cleaned old drivers then installed drivers I knew were fully functional.  I did this several times with several driver versions.  Nothing yielded any results.  I
    do not wish to do aclean install unless absolutely necessary or at least not until after the weekend, when I will have time to reinstall my 300+programs, games, themes, mods, etc.  I am not opposed to doing this but I need the computer tonight and
    do not have time to do all that before then.  I'll be using it with an external display tonight, so the graphics issue can wait, however, to test with a clean install, I was using Aomei Partition Assistant to break off some free space as a second partition
    on which I could install a second Windows 7 installation for testing purposes.  I have done this multiple times before.  Unfortunatly, on 4.5 hours of sleep and having been up for about 18 hours straight I wasn't thinking and forgot to plug my laptop
    in.  It lost power during the process and the Windows installation is now totally glitched.  I've tried several fixes all to no avail and would prefer to avoid a clean install until after the weekend.
    In Windows XP, I could boot from the install disk and perform a repair install, similar to the Windows 7 upgrade/in place upgrade.  I would like to do this, but seeing as I cannot access the Windows environment, I'm in a bit of a jam.  I could
    run that program again from mini Windows XP (Hyren's Boot CD) I believe and create the second partition and dual boot.  My question is, can I drop the new Windows folder over the old one or do something similar to avoid losing my programs and files?  Thanks

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, we cannot just copy the windows folder to make programs work in the new operating system.
    Hope it helps.

  • [SOLVED] Graphical Interface doesn't start with Radeon HD 7670M

    Hi everyone!
    I just bought a new laptop: Toshiba Satellite L855-14Z with a Radeon HD 7670M graphic chip.
    I installed Arch Linux and everything works fine except the graphical interface.
    I have tried 3 options and all result in strange log files:

    Yes I did, but it didn't help.
    I solved the problem now, but it was rather complicated and is only a workaround. If anyone is having the same problem:
    1) I installed the open source drivers and enabled KMS
    2) I copied the efi shell from the arch boot disk to the rEFInd folder
    3) Now everytime I start my laptop I have to start the EFI-Shell (v1) first. This somehow changes the resolution. I exit the shell and start arch. X works.
    I have no idea why this works, but it is the only thing that does. If anyone knows what this means, I'd appreciate your help.
    By the way: Step 3 also solves this issue

  • Intel D2700DC + Arch won't boot without display

    I've faced really wierd (to me) problem running Arch as mini webserver on the Intel D2700DC mini-ITX board with Atom D2700 integrated and NM10 Express chipset.
    I successfully installed the system, configured network and started sshd to continue setting up other services remotely via ssh console. Then I disconnected the keyboard and display from the case and put it under the table. After that I was quiet surprised that the system was not starting up anymore.
    After some investigation I've found that the system is not booting if no display is attached to the DVI port of the motherboard. If I start the system with display disconnected, I can hear one beep that notifies about successful BIOS POST, HDD led blinks 2-3 times, and then just nothing happens. System isn't booting up. If I attach the display right after that - nothing is seen on the screen, and display is immediately falling into sleep mode. Keyboard is still active though, and if I press ctrl+alt+del - the system is restarting, and, if display was just connected, it boots ok then. Also it boots fine from the cold state if the display was attached to the DVI port at the time of powering on.
    As I can assume from the timings and HDD led blinking, the boot process stops right after GRUB is loaded. There's nothing in system log, cause it seems that boot hangs just before the kernel is loaded by GRUB. I'm really stuck and don't know how to work around this situation, because if the display was disconnected when system was powered on - then there's no way to see anything on the screen until next reboot, and if the display was connected - then the system boots OK.
    One more thing to notice:
    There was an old CentOS installation on the HDD, to which I installed Arch Linux. I've tried to boot it once or twice before installing Arch, and, as I could remember, it could boot up without display connected, on the very same hardware. So I suppose it's definitely something in Arch that is preventing the system to boot without the display.
    I guess that when no display is connected at boot time, NM10 chipset completely disables onboard video, and because of this we can't see anything on the display until the system is restarted. But this somehow affects Arch, so it can't boot without any video hardware present.

    I'm afraid there's no such option, but it looks like arch isn't booting just because no graphics card is detected in the system when display it disabled during powering up.
    There is a couple of similar topics about some other linux distros can't boot without video card inserted ([1], [2]) with some recommendations on what to do in such a case.
    I've followed them - including enabling serial console in /etc/inittab, setting nomodeset in kernel line in grub's menu.lst, checking for enabled splash-screens... but that didn't help.
    Does anyone know what options should be tuned in order to boot Arch without any active graphics card present in the system hardware?

  • [SOLVED] GDM: black screen after "Reached target Graphical Interface"

    Hi all,
    Since an upgrade on my work PC a week back or so, it no longer boots properly into GDM / Gnome. It will boot up to this message:
    [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface
    Then the screen will flash to black and back, then again turn black permanently. I can still go to other tty's. It's just GDM that's being frustrating.
    There are no useful logs for either GDM or Xorg - the last log for both dates from the last time things worked properly. Nothing useful in dmesg either. I've already reinstalled xorg, xorg-drivers, gdm, etc., but no luck.
    Some guidance would be most appreciated!

    I finally found an answer here:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=188434
    I've been using infinality-bundle, and those packages seem to have been moved (?) I had to add this repository to `/etc/pacman.conf`:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/un … ity-bundle
    Then a system update, and presto!

  • [Solved] lost booting to graphical interphace

    I've had arch for about a week and I really like it. However today I did some daily configuring and shut down the machine. Now when I opened it later today I see that I couldnt boot into graphical interphace! Arch just throws me straightly to command prompt (I am writing this from Ubuntu).

    Thanks for everyone in advance!
    Edit: Well when I do "startxfce4", I get the graphical interphace, but there is no internet connection.
    Edit 2: Well, "dhcpcd eth0" brings it . But I really wouldn't want to do those two commands upon every boot.

    Do you have hal in your daemons array?
    No I didn't actually !! I just had "(syslog-ng network netfs crond)". Dunno why my rc.conf defaulted to that.. I believe that fixed the problem. I'll boot later today.. but hey, if that did indeed fix the problem: you're the man !
    I myself would never had even thought about that.
    Edit: yep, that fixed this. Thanks again!! -> marking as [Solved].

  • Time Machine Graphical Interface Crashing Computer

    Not sure when this started happening, but every time I go to the Time Machine graphical interface it freezes the computer.
    It appears to be backing up properly, and I can access the files without problems in the Finder.
    Has anyone had this same issue, and has anyone found the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Stuck at 'Reached target graphical interface'

    Edit:
    An important edit on mkinicpcio. Previously I reported it the other way around.
    I went through a complicated process of turning my first single-partition arch install into a Windows 7 dual-boot install (windows first) with separate /var and /boot partiotions.
    Notable stuff:
    0. Now MBR instead of GPT
    1. PArtition order changed
    2. fstab now uses by-lebel (custom unique labels) mounting instead of UUID's
    3. I had problems recreating kernel (initramfs) images. During the last, successful attempt I issued:
    mkinitcpio -p linux -k linux
    instead of
    mkinitcpio -p linux
    (I was desperate )
    4. Since restoring clonezilla image of my arch was braking the existing Windows installation I restored my arch install using
    rsync -ax <source> <target>
    This should be a complete list of the stupid things I did.
    Now I get just
    [OK] Reached target graphical interface
    Gdm service status (photo):

    My first thought was to wonder why on eath you installed so many video drivers.  That likely would not cause this problem, but it is just silly - and it is a separate symptom of the same underlying problem:
    We've now learned that you did not install these drivers, nor the system, but two different people (neither you) have installed and configured your system.  One of these people doesn't even use archlinux, and as you say has "limited knowledge" about it.  Talk about the blind leading the blind ... but you are not blind, you've just opted to close your eyes and not learn anything about your system.
    There is no way for us to know what is happening on your system when you yourself are clueless.  You should just start from scratch and do it right following the beginner's guide.  But even this should happen only after you ask yourself why on earth you'd want to use archlinux - it's really not what you seem to be looking for.
    As for losing your usb drive ... can't you find another anywhere?

  • Mac pro boots without apple logo..

    Hello,
    I have a MAC PRO 2008, and it boots without a grey screen and apple logo.
    If I turn on de mac the screen does not go on, after a 10 a 15 seconds the OS is starting up, screen pops on and have no isseus with the MAC pro.
    I tries to reset the smc and Pvram, but problem still there.
    I tried other videocards, displays, press the reset buttons in de mac etc..
    Anybody knows what is the problem of this no boot screen?

    you either bought it used with a PC video card or upgraded yourself, as Illaass pointed out, not realizing the difference or what EFI firmware on a graphic card vs not. And some GPUs have a switch to allow legacy PC mode or UEFI.
    Oops! see there were updated replies... just ignore.

  • Infomaker Graphical interface Error

    As per the article from oracle, to add a field in Infomaker 10.5 with CM 13, I have to convert to graphical interface in order to add a field. If the field is not in one of the current table then I will have to add the tables and join them.
    Well, as soon as I try to convert to graphical interface, I get an error;
    SQLSTATE = S0002
    [Microsoft]ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object
    name 'vndt'
    Do you want to continue in graphic mode?
    if I say yes, the graphical interface opens up, but without and tables.
    We are using sybase server 2008.
    Thanks for any help.

    The error message...
    SQLSTATE = S0002
    [Microsoft]ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'vndt'
    ...does indicate that you are not connected to the correct database, or maybe that you are connecting to the database without sufficient rights. Click the database icon in InfoMaker. Do you see the tables? If not, then the connection is not correct.
    Also, a general tip especially when connected to MS SQL -- Always make a copy of your select statement before attempting to exit SQL mode. If there is any problem at all with the syntax (comma missing, etc) resulting in an error, you will lose all of your work.

  • [X79A-GD45 Plus] Secure boot without Windows 8

    I'm having trouble using secure boot with the GD45 Plus. I can only get related settings to show up in the bios when enabling Windows 8 mode. This might not be a problem except for it complaining that my graphics card isn't Windows 8 compatible, and then aborting.
    I don't care about Windows 8, I just want to boot my own signed bootloader. So my question is, how can I get the firmware to use secure boot without Windows 8 mode, or at least ignore hardware compatibility?

    Secure boot could only be use for pure UEFI mode so that means if you want to use this function then you will need to enable the Windows 8 feature,
    For your VGA, you either check with your vendor if they got UEFI VGA bios for you to update or you will need to use a new VGA card... 

  • Won't boot without video card

    Hi,
    I have a PT880 Neo-LSR and am trying to run a unix OS.  This is the first time I've used a MSI board, but I've used many other boards without graphics cards since these are being used as servers.
    The problem is that the OS won't boot up unless I throw a pci video card or a agp video card on the board.
    Is there any way around this?  I've searched in the bios but nothing looks like the culprit. Is there a jumper?  Or is this a limitation of the board?
    Thanks,
    Bob C

    I have never had a Server Board but why would you want to boot up a OS without a vidieo card...???  You should be able to post up to the point where the Beeps will let you know that no video card is present.. if a speaker is hooked up.. How you going to see what you are doing in the Bios.??? I must be Tired ....

  • [Solved ?] Arch on Alienware 14, can't boot without nomodeset

    Hello everybody,
    I just got a new Alienware 14, installed Lubuntu and Ubuntu with which I had various problems, including not being able to boot without the "nomodeset" option.
    So I decided to migrate to Arch, followed the beginners guide word for word and everything worked fine, including uefi boot with gummiboot but
    even here (obviously maybe) I can't boot without the nomodeset option.
    What happens is that the screen goes black just after gummiboot has finished its work, and (obviously) if I use "nomodeset" I can't start X.
    The computer in question has an intel i7 4700M and nvidia gt 750M.
       ~ lspci | grep VGA
       00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
       01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [Geforce GT 750M] (rev a1)
    I followed the Intel graphics installation guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel and tried the suggestions on "Troubleshooting blank screen during boot, when "loading modules" but nothing.
    So I tried installing bumblebee and the proprietary nvidia drivers https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee but again, same problem...
    Im I doing something stupid?
    Any log/command output you may need to help me?
    Thanks in advance

    so, it appears that, as @Dheart told me, this is a bug in 3.11 kernel which prevents
    the brightness settings to be correctly handled when KMS kicks in.
    for me simply adding       acpi_backlight=vendor
    to the kernel command line solved the problem.

  • Substitution variable in BR Graphical Interface

    Hi,
    we have a business rule using a prompt that we would like to change to a subtitution variable. But we can't just enter "&AnCour" (for current year).
    I didn't found any place where I could select my substitution variables (I can select prompts and local variables but not substitution variables).
    If I go to the "Source" tab and use a standard script, it works, so I'm assuming that BR can use substitution variables but that the graphical interface can't. I always use standard scripting for administration BR, but our users don't want to let the graphical interface go for their own scripting.
    Is there a way to use subtitution variables in a graphical BR ?
    We are using System9 9.3.1
    Thanks

    So it works in a calc script and not a BR, I know BR's sometimes don't always act exactly the same as calc scripts and you occassionally hit issues like this.
    What version are you using because I have a feeling I have tested this in the past and I am sure it worked.
    Cheers
