Installed GDM without installing Xorg

As said in the topic, I've gone and installed GDM without installing Xorg, and when I rebooted, it hangs just before the login screen. I'm assuming this is because it can't find Xorg, and so can't load.
Is there a way for me to disable GDM through the live cd? I'm not sure how to navigate into the actual hard drive through the cd, and, once there, have no clue where GDM is located. I assumed that I can't use systemctl disable gdm from within the live environment.
Thanks for your help.

That worked for me. Thanks

  • Black screen on GDM, how to install xorg-base from grub?

    I followed these installation guides to install archlinux in a virtualbox before testing it out on a real machine:
    * http://wideaperture.net/blog/?p=3851
    * https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … al_Machine
    * http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process

    * http://cbopt.com/how-to-install-arch-li … ng-system/
    * https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide
    It was really all smooth sailing until I finished installing gnome and gnome-extra.  These seemed to go well, but then I ran into a problem a lot like this guy's:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119657
    Namely, I now get past GRUB and am greated with a black screen that I seem to have no control over.  I can't boot, can't type, can't add my user to a video group, nothing.
    So, I have two questions:
    * What seems to be wrong?  From that thread, I think I need to install xorg-base, possibly?  Could it be that I installed the wrong video drivers for a virtual machine? (I assume it's the virtual machine I need drivers for, not my actual video card, right?)
    * In a situation like this, how should I properly use GRUB to boot into CLI where I can diagnose, fix stuff, and do things like install xorg-base?  I can't find any way to boot to command line.
    **Update**
    Here's a little more research I've done.
    1. I booted up using my installation disk to try accessing my files, maybe I can set something to not use GDM, as per here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76543/ho … -selection
    2. But I didn't know how to access underlying files when on boot disk, so I did this:
    $ fdisk -l # told me sda2 was my Linux Filesystem
    $ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
    3. From the beginner's guide section on GUI troubleshooting here, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide, I tried this (prepending my mount point):
    $ grep EE /mnt/var/log/Xorg.0.log
    4. Well, I can't copy the output because of no GUI, but there were 3 errors:
    (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
    Are any of these relevant to why I boot into a black screen rather than something that looks like GNOME?
    **Update 2**
    Something similar for:
    grep EE /mnt/var/log/gdm/:0.log.4
    (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
    ** Update 3 **
    Discovered I could TTY to another terminal.  In virtualbox this is Host + F2.
    Re-enabled gdm, restarted xstart, ran gnome, no luck. 
    $ sudo pacman -S xorg
    told me I was out of disk space, uh oh!  Of course, I made it only 4 GB since this is a virtualbox demo.
    OK, let's resize my sda2 disk.  Restart with the live CD.
    and now...?

  • Problem to install xorg

    Hi
    I install xorg as the document find in this link
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … aller_Xorg
    the version xorg server is 1.7.
    I tried config xorg without install hal is it possible ? I ask this question because when I run "startx" the keyboard and mouse not run.
    When I install hal and run it if I run startx I can move mouse and keybord is ok
    Can I configure xorg without hal start ?
    think

    You can also disable input hotplugging in xorg 1.7, and configure your devices in xorg.conf  - hal does not need to be running for this, but it does need to be installed, as you will have already noticed. Details on the xorg wiki page.

  • [SOLVED] install xorg on Virtualbox's ArchLinux

    I'm trying to install xorg on the ArchLinux.(which in a virtualbox's box)
    But, when I run 'xinit'.
    It display vboxvideo does not exist.
    When I use 'lsmod|grep vboxvideo'.  It exist.
    After search full directory, I found:
    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so
    and
    /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/misc/vboxvideo.so
    [SOLVED solution]
    mkdir -p /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
    rerun the virtualbox addition
    Last edited by dlin (2011-08-13 01:04:50)

    You need a VirtualBox Guest installation for your guest system to  get the needed video driver run at your guest system.
    Look at this how to do the installation on an Arch system:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest
    Alternatively, you can install the drivers with VirtualBox itself. There is a Menu entry 'Install Guest Additions...' under 'Devices'.
    After calling the menu item there is a iso image installed wich you can mount in your guest system:
    # mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
    or something similar
    On the CD there is a bash script /mnt/VboxLinuxAdditions.run which you can run to compile the device drivers.
    To do this, you need gcc and linux headers installed on your guest system.
    For using the compiled drivers, use the wiki article which I have linked above.
    This Way has the disadvantage that you need to do the compilation again after every kernel update.

  • Trouble installing Xorg

    Hello,
    I just installed Archlinux and did the 'pacman -Syy' and 'pacman -Syu' and now trying to install xorg. I ran the 'pacman -S xorg' to install and it tells me to install another whole group of packages, which I accept but then I run into problems with this package:
    error: failed retrieving file 'fontcacheproto-0.3.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz'
    Blocking me from the install of xorg... Another thing I'm totally new to Arch!!
    Thank you!!

    sylvainrb wrote:I tried different mirrors but none of them have the package...
    and you always did pacman -Syyu after that? Can you install anything?
    The versionnumber 3.1-1 seems to be incorrect. It should be 1.3-1... Have you copied it or rewrote?
    But if I understand correctly, atcp some packages are available only at certain time?? btw, even archlinux.org server didn't have the package...
    Sometimes, server are not up. (or too old.)
    Packages are always available if the server is up (and the repo includes the specific package.)

  • Start GDM without Xorg

    When I run gdm it automatically starts Xorg. How do I start gdm without X to allow remote sessions?
    /Micke

    JackH79 wrote:Unless I'm seriously mistaken, you can't start gdm without X. That's actually what it's for.
    In the early versions of gdm it was possible and easy. Just edit your "gdm.conf" file and take out the local X server configuration (§ 2.2.7 in  http://www.ibiblio.org/oswg/oswg-nightl … x135.html). You could have a (headless) server with gdm to serve the XDMCP clients. Good setup to propagate NC's
    But that is in the past now. My guess is that the use of XDMCP (http://www.linuxjunkies.org/html/XDMCP-HOWTO.html) is discouraged nowadays. Maybe the plain-sniffable usage of TCP/IP causing this.

  • Pacman -S xorg doesn't install xorg

    After running 'pacman -S xorg', I ran startx to test. I got a bash error in return (this command not found). xinit gave the same result. I ran the same thing in a vm maybe a week previous, and it installed xorg just fine. Has anyone had the same problem?

  • Can't install xorg-xinit

    Hi
    I have just finished a fresh install of archlinux. I want to install X. when I try to install xorg-xinit, I get an error:
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    inetutils: /bin/dnssomainname exist in filesystem

    inetutils: /usr/share/man/man1/hostname.1.gz exist in filesystem
    Errors occured, no packages were upgraded
    I assume this is due to some packages I selected during install which relate to wireless networking.
    What will happen if I simply delete these files?
    Thanks.

    It is possibly due to the fact that such files were moved from net-tools to inetutils. Try updating net-tools and inetutils together via
    pacman -S net-tools inetutils
    . Hope that fixes it.

  • [SOLVED]Trouble installing xorg + gnome

    I'm currently running a core installation of Arch on my virtual box. I have Internet connection and Pacman works. I've installed xorg but when I type startx it brings me to a weird DE thats just 3 terminals. I tried installing gnome but I got a bunch of errors. Then I tried again and I get errors like :: Retrieving packages from core...
    error: failed retrieving file 'perl-.12.1-3-1686.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrorls.kernel.org  : Connection timed out
    etc...
    Then it says
    warning:  failed to retrieve some files from core
    error:  failed to commit transaction (Not Found)
    Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.
    It's really weird(and annoying). Can anybody offer some help?

    Weird. When I type startx is starts some type of DE. Don't know why .xinitrc wouldn't be there.
    Once Xorg is installed you can test it by running startx the funny three windows you see is twm
    If you wish to install Gnome then use Arch wiki to guide you, add a login manager of your choice
    From the looks of your first post you need to make sure mirrors network and pacman are all set up too
    MrG
    I'm pretty sure mirrors are set up correctly. I commented out the first two(The mirrors.kernel.org).  And pacman can get other packages like sudo correctly.

  • Installing Xorg without internet access

    hey all - I did a quick lookthrough and I couldn't seem to find anything on this (but please feel free to yell at me if I didn't RTFM enough etc.)
    My problem is this - I live on campus here at school and the school feels that Cisco's Clean Access is necessary for safety etc. (I'm not arguing, but it is a PITA). I just finished the core install of the latest ISO and I realized that I can't get online because I need a web browser to authenticate against the school's servers (to verify that I am running linux and not WinXP / Vista which would require more stuff...). The problem is that links / elinks / lynx don't offer advanced enough technology to log me in. I need Xorg (and dillo or firefox) to log in.
    See my catch-22? I need Xorg to log in to the network (as I need the browsers) but I need the network to download Xorg. Would it be possible for someone in here to copy / paste the contents of the 'xorg' package group and all of their dependencies? (I know that's a lot of packages, but I see no other way...)
    If anyone has any ideas on how to get these packages onto my system in an easier fashion, please help me out here.
    Thanks again.

    How do you need to authenticate?
    If you need to use user/pass try
    export HTTP_PROXY=user:[email protected]
    export http_proxy=$HTTP_PROXY
    then fire up w3m, or links/lynx maybe at least that will get you working with pacman.
    You could also download all the pkgs onto a flashdrive/cd and copy them to /var/pacman/cache and then pacman -S xorg

  • Using X11 applications without having xorg-server installed.

    Hello,
    I have 2 computers in my network: one is a powerful 8 CPU SPARC, the second is quite old and has 4 slow CPUs. I'd like to run graphical applications on this slow server (logging into it via ssh, server doesn't have either vga nor monitor, it's usable only via console login and ssh), but I would like this powerful computer to be a X11 server - it should work with all those graphical programs that I will run on slow computer. Is it possible (if yes, I would be glad if you tell me how) to remove X11 server software from slow computer (leaving there only client apps, like mozilla, xclock, etc.) and configure it in this way, that this powerful computer will handle all X11 requests?
    Thanks for help,
    Konrad

    Just don't start an X server on the slow one.
    Then you could either ssh into the machine and run programs with your display explicitly set to the other machine.
    (Only necessary if you're not using SSH X forwarding)
    fast_machine$ xhost slow_machine
    slow_machine being added to access control list
    fast_machine$ ssh slow_machine
    slow_machine$ echo $DISPLAY
    (If set, run your programs. If not set, set it explicitly)
    slow_machine$ export DISPLAY=fast_machine:0
    slow_machine$ xterm

  • [SOLVED] Trying to install Xorg, missing packages?

    I hope don't become a pain here, but I really want to get an arch system working...
    So after I installed the base system, the first thing I wanted to do is get the x server up and running.  I ran the command
    pacman -S xorg
    and when it goes, I get the error
    error: failed retrieving file 'libxmu-1.0.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz......
    I have the Virginia Tech mirror first, then ibiblio, and then the archlinux.org repo as a fallback, and none of them can retrieve that file, and thus the xorg install fails.
    Any ideas of what I need to do?
    Thanks,

    I've just re-installed Arch ( x86_64 ) using the Irish mirror
    Server = ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64
    and
    it works fine. Never had a problem with the Irish nor French mirrors. As I believe it's your first time installing Arch, here's a quick run-down of what
    I do on a new install:
    After the base-system is installed;
    1> Edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to your preferred mirrors.
    2> run 'adduser' to add a normal user. ( Groups: wheel,disk,audio,video,optical,storage,lp )
    3> pacman -Syu to sync everything to your mirror.
    4> pacman -S xorg cpio
    5> pacman -S kde kde-l10n-uk (if you want kde)
    5> pacman -S ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-ms-fonts ttf-dejavu artwiz-fonts terminus-font ( the last one is good for a konsole font ).
    6> pacman -S tk alsa-utils gdb
    7> pacman -S nvidia ( if you have an nvidia card )
    8> nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite
    9> Edit /etc/inittab; The only sections we're interested in are these. This is how they should look ( to boot into kde );
    ## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
    # Boot to console
    #id:3:initdefault:
    # Boot to X11
    id:5:initdefault:
    # Example lines for starting a login manager
    #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
    #x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
    x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
    #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
    Note the new path to kdm !!!
    At his point I usually 'pacman -S opera thunderbird' as well. Then, to get the 64-bit flash-plugin:
    Edit /etc/pacman.conf
    Uncomment the 'Testing' branch
    pacman -Sy to update
    pacman -S flashplugin to install
    re-edit /etc/pacman.conf and comment out the Testing branch again.
    Reboot.
    Hope this helps in some way...
