[Kind of Solved] Trouble starting KDM

So, after upgrading to a 3.1 I seem to have difficulty starting KDM from inittab. 
Recently I upgraded catalyst to 11.11, xorg-server to 1.11 and the kernel to 3.1.1-1, and following Vi0L0's advice https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1018860 in an init 3 session I ran
$ sudo init 5
to start the graphical environment, and lo and behold kdm/kde launched and ran, so I thought all was fixed. However, on next reboot, I got hung up with a black screen, which is the problem I had run into. 
My inittab is based on the wiki entry for Display Manager, with relevant entries being:
id:5:initdefault:
and
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
It seems then that the inittab approach is not working, at least automatically.  However, if I boot to a runlevel 3, I and switch to a runlevel 5 successfully.  I could live with this, however, I don't think my wife or children could. 
I have looked through all the log files, and cannot find anything obvious. So, I'm not sure where to go from here, any advice would be welcomed. Thanks

My problems of being able to boot directly into runlevel 5 persist.  So the fglrx driver seems to be implicated.  Here are the kernel logs, sifted for fglrx of an unsuccessful boot attempt (hung at the black screen0

Does this make sense to anybody? and/or point to a line of debugging or further evaluation I should look into?
Thanks

  • [SOLVED] Trouble starting Xorg on Macbook Pro 7,1

    I'm trying to set up Xorg on my 13" Macbook Pro 7,1.  Every time I run startx, I get a blank screen and have to do a hard reset.  This is on a brand new install.  I've installed the wireless drivers, connected to the network, upgraded any packages needing it (pacman -Syuu), installed vim and yaourt, and created a non-privileged user.  I did not upgrade kernel26 or kernel26-headers because they fail to boot (I think I need the physical mode patch).
    Here's what I've done so far:
    pacman -S xorg-server xorg-utils xorg-xinit xorg-twm xterm
    pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
    (reboot)
    nvidia-xconfig
    pacman -S acpid hal
    /etc/rc.d/hal start
    (log in as non-privileged user)
    startx
    The screen goes black, and then nothing happens.  I've tried it both with and without acpid and hal.
    Here is my xorg.conf:

    The NVIDIA page in the Arch Wiki says to comment out any occurrences of dri (and I assume dri2 as well) in xorg.conf.  As you can see, they are not in xorg.conf, but they are still being loaded.  I'm not sure where they are coming from.  I haven't messed with anything in xord.conf.d (though the 20-nvidia.conf file showed up).  I don't see any references to dri there, either.
    I've also tried nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta, but the same thing happens.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    On a typical setup, Ctrl+Alt+F7--or really, Alt-F7--switches to Display 0, where X will attach if you're using startx.
    Probably, Display 0 is on screen after startx, and you're just not getting anything.  As long as your keyboard is binding correctly, you should be able to hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to the first terminal, assuming that is from where you started X.
    Otherwise, yes, make sure dbus is installed and started.
    rc.d dbus start
    Or, is it--
    rc.d start dbus
    I've been using systemd for a while now.  Can't remember.
    Also make sure dbus is in your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf.

  • [SOLVED] kdemod with ugly cyan boarders / can't start kdm at boot?

    I followed the directions to install kdemod from a clean installation of Arch Linux. Specifically I:
    Installed from CD
    Setup DHCP and configured my ethernet
    Updated Arch Linux ( pacman -Syu )
    Installed xorg
    installed hdw and configured xorg
    setup repositories to include kdemod repos
    installed kdemod, as well as some recommended additions
    if I follow any of the directions here ( http://chakra-project.org/download-kdemod-step6.html ) to start kdemod at boot then it gives me a login prompt but immediately crashes and restarts kdm whenever I login. I can only get into kdemod by typing, in the console: startx
    and then: startkde
    ...and then all of my windows are surrounded by ugly monotone cyan window decorations which look like they came out of Windows 3.1 that I can't seem to get rid of, as well as a few other oddities involving the color cyan.
    I am, incidentally, running it in VirtualBox with the vesa video driver in xorg.conf.
    Does anyone know what's going on? Am I missing something? Is this normal?
    I've found one mention of this problem on the forums before [ http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=494261 ] but no solution. Thanks in advance.

    Alright, I figured out where those ugly cyan borders come from. It's because I didn't make an .xinitrc file in my user's directory and specify what window manager to use, so it defaulted to xterm, and I was running kde through xterm and the borders were xterm's window borders (Right, well, I figured they were a biproduct of running kde in such an unusual way)... but I still don't know why I can't start kdm at boot. Anyone know how I can figure that out...?

  • [SOLVED!] Archiso -- KDM - LXDM don't start at boot (enabled)

    Hello,
    I have installed on this computer my customized Archiso (with no special configurations). I have enabled kdm.service, but nothing happened. After reboot either.
    I have now tried with LXDM, same thing. With "systemctl status" I usually get something like: "enabled, dead"
    If I start kdm or lxdm manually, it works.
    sudo systemctl start lxdm; sudo systemctl status lxdm

    On some posts they mentioned that maybe nvidia or a module starts up too late, or the login managers too early.
    Any tips/hints on what should I try?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Trouble starting managed weblogic server on another machine in  acluster

    Hi,
              I was having trouble starting managed weblogic server on another machine in a cluster from the command prompt
              I have following setup:
              1) BEA weblogic is installed on 2 machines - local machine A with ip address 172.17.2.219 and another machine B with ip address 172.17.2.201
              2)node manager is running on both machines
              3)An admin server myserver on the local machine at port 7001

  • Trouble starting v3.2

    Hello all,
    I'm having trouble starting Photoshop Album Starter Edition v3.2 on a WinXP SP2 machine.
    When I double click the icon, I get the splash screen, then it just freezes.  In the fine print near the lower left hand corner, the last thing it gets to is "Initializing Model".
    I've uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, still same issue.
    I found some old thread suggesting repairing the MDAC component on the machine, which I did, then rebooted and tried again.  Still no fix.  I've also seen some references to a log file that may give additional information, but don't know where that log file is.
    Anyone else had this issue and fixed it?  Anyone have any additional suggestions I can try?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem.  Figuring the uninstall wasn't removing everything, I did some exploring.  By checking the registry, I found that the Adobe Photoshop Album SE was pointing to a directory where the catalog was being stored and maintained.  These files were not deleted upon an uninstall and nor were they overwritten (even during a repair).  Consequently, upon a new install, the program would attempt to load the original catalog file, which I deduced was corrupt, causing the program to lock up.
    To fix the problem (Windows XP), I did the following:
    Navigate to the directory, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Album.  Delete all of the files and subdirectories.  It should be noted that Application Data is a hidden file/subdirectory.  To view hidden files, do the following from Windows Explorer (the window that opens when you view directory contents/files):  Select Tools, Folder Options and then the View tab.  Check the radial button by Show hidden files and folders.  Select Apply to All Folders and then select OK.
    Install Adobe Photoshop Album SE again.  If you still have the program installed, just select "Repair" on the reinstall.
    Open Adobe Photoshop Album SE.  Cancel the opening dialog screen which asks you to search directories for pictures.  Select the File tab (upper left). Select Get Photos from the drop down menu, then From Files and Folders.  Browse to the main directory where you have stored your photos.  Check the box Get Photos from Subfolders, then select Get Photos.  You may have to repeat this several times depending on where you stored all of your pictures. This process rebuilds your catalog file.  Hopefully, this will solve your problem.

  • Trouble starting up when cold

    I bought my power mac about 5 years ago. Last year I started having trouble starting up when the machine was cold. I put a heater on the unit for about 30 minutes in the morning and then it would start up ok. Through the summer and once the weather got warmer there was no problem.
    Now with the start of fall and cold nights, I seem to be having the same problem.
    I am concerned that the system drive has five years of usage and am thinking of swapping it out. Any other thoughts???

    Clone it weekly or twice a month.
    Rotate and replace recycle drives
    Backup your data even more - daily and weekly sets
    In 5 yrs drives have more than doubled in performance, and other than in last month the price per GB (and MB/sec) has dropped.
    SSDs are now pppular system boot drives, 10K drives have improved, 2TB $150-200 for media data and backup
    Clone your system twice and if it has trouble swap it out and test/zero the drive.
    Last year? you don't run on a bad tire or a system having trouble except to pull the drive/tire and put on spare.
    There are procedures for repairing a sytem and drives, and then you get into "Why" and troubleshooting causes if necessary.

    - same modules errors but appears to be a Gnome bug (X starts): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441716
    - same modules errors but X starts up without problems http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175511372/
    makes me doubt if this issue is related to the modules not found. Which is the single indication I found so far x-/
    Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old. Never had Xorg related issue so far on this pancake.

  • Trouble starting Managed Server

    I'm having trouble starting a managed server.
    I have 'myomain' running on 7001, and attempt to start 'examples' on 7006
    as a managed server pointing to 7001 as the admin server.
    I've modified a copy of startWebLogic.sh to include the following -D parameters:
    weblogic.management.server=127.0.0.1:7001
    weblogic.management.password = <password for mydomain>
    weblogic.management.username=system
    When run, the 7001 access.log contains the following entry, so I know the reqest
    is getting to the mydomain server:
    127.0.0.1 - - [13/Nov/2000:14:06:13 -0700] "GET /Bootstrap HTTP/1.1" 200 125docs60/notes/issues.html
    The terminal session that is attempting to start 'examples' barfs with the following:
    <Mon Nov 13 14:12:25 MST 2000> <Error> <Configuration Management> <Error connecting to admin server to boo
    tstrap via URL: http://127.0.0.1:7001/Bootstrap, user: system

    at weblogic.t3.srvr.T3Srvr.run(T3Srvr.java:160)
    at weblogic.Server.main(Server.java:32)
    Full Text is attached.
    I noticed the post on 27-Oct by Sanjeev Chopra related to a known bug on this subject, but my
    error text is quite different and I wasn't sure if this is the same problem.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    You are right about the first X session starting normally.  I'm using the same user for both session and nvidia loads fine the first time.  The log for the first X session:

  • Trouble Starting Database

    I have Oracle 10.2 installed on Mac OS X 10.5. The database was working at one point (I didn't use it much) but now I'm having trouble starting it.
    First I log in as the Oracle user:
    su - oracle
    Then I start the listener and it appears to start up correctly:

    ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
    LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0_db_1/dbs/initXE.ora'
    The SID of my database is ORCL, not XE. I'm not sure where the XE in "initXE.ora" comes from, and I'm not sure if that's part of the problem. When I look in the /Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0_db_1/dbs/ directory this is what is there:
    localhost:~ oracle$ cd /Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0_db_1/dbs/
    localhost:dbs oracle$ ls
    alert_ORCL.log     init.ora     lkORCL          spfileorcl.ora
    hc_orcl.dat     initdw.ora     orapworcl     sqlnet.log
    localhost:dbs oracle$
    So apparently there is no initXE.ora file.
    h1. My Question:
    Why is it looking for initXE.ora, and how can I fix it? Like I said I had this database working before (SID or ORCL) so I don't know what changed.
    h3. Thank you!!!!!

    Follow these steps:
    startup pfile='<pfile location of initORCL.ora>';
    then logging as SYSDBA
    create spfile from pfile;
    Check the spfile in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ directory.
    then shutdown the database and startup the database.
    Don't forget to export the ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID,PATH environment variables.

  • Mac have trouble starting up.

    Hello!
    For some reason, my mac have trouble starting up. I've tried using the apple guide about how to fix the issue/ perform a safe booth but it doesn't work.
    SYMPTOMS:
    1. when turned on: the screen displays an apple screen with a loading continueous circle and stays there FOREVER.
    after turning on and off for several times, it finally works. However, most of the time when it works/actually starts up, it cannot be connected the internet.
    2. The mac also have trouble with the itune as I cannot sync any device to it and froze.
    3.  I cannot update my mac. It suggested that in order to update, the mac must be restart so the installation can take place but when its starting
    installing the update, the message then appear and says " an error occured durin installation" then it restarts and the process of trouble starting up repeats (back to 1.).
    ** Incidence before this happens**
    A few days before it happened, there was a power shut down at my house, thus the mac was turned off incorrectly. so I have to turn on the mac again before it was turned off again by the power shut down.  IT HAPPENED 3 TIMEs
    Since then the Mac was slow and starting to become less responsive. Then the trouble starting up occurs.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
    Thank you very much

    hi,
    I booted the computer and insert the disc then press c. but nothing happens. Infact the imac wont eject the disc when I press the eject button.
    What should I do?
    Thank you!!!!!!!

  • IBook has troubles starting up: (?)

    The iBook of a friend has troubles starting up. She needs an apple for her studies and has had nothing but trouble with this iBook. She has already have to replace the motherboard and faulty RAM at the store where she bought it.
    The most recent trouble is this: sometimes the iBook won't start or it takes a long time before it does. On the screen appears (?). Also when she's working with the laptop, the respons time is sometimes very long.
    Her teachers said her that this problem is caused by the hard disk. But I've found a topic of a forum, where somebody had the exact same problem and where replacing the HD didn't help.
    Does somebody have an idea what could be an answer?
    Also, the store only gives a one-year warranty, but since there have been so many parts replaced, isn't there a two year warranty?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Here is the link to Apple's Knowledge Base article on recovering from the flashing question mark folder:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58042
    How long has it been since hard drive maintenance was performed? If it's been awhile, try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    You will see the normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless it's been renamed). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
    See if a little hard drive maintenance helps out performance.
