[Solved]Xorg-server and nvidia binary driver don't work

See topic. When updating to xf86-input-evdev-2.8.2-2 xf86-input-joystick-1.6.2-3 xf86-input-keyboard-1.8.0-2 xf86-input-mouse-1.9.0-2 and xorg-server-1.15.0-1 X won't start and 'systemctl status kdm.service' states that the X server has died. According to Phoronix this should not happen.

Seems we have to wait for nvidia to include xorg-server 1.15 into their driver

[solved/cannot be solved]Xorg-server and gnome-power-manager

I was wondering if there is hope that someone will put patches to main tree of Xorg-server which are here: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/ … of-bodges/
It should remove this weird blanking effect and time gap before screen is backlighted again. I didn't tested it, because it requires rebuild of xorg-server and I don't want to use git version, but guys there says that it's working.

OK, thanks for advice, I'll try building xorg-server with ABS.
I've got another problem with automatic turn off screen - media players don't prevent turning screen off while they are playing film. Is there any possibility to fix it? Only way I've found is to turn off automatic screen backlight off after couple of minutes, but it's not how tigers want this to work

Ipod and external Hard drive don't work together

I got a dell optiplex gx260 which has 6 2.0 USB ports. My IPod (80GB classinc) library is stored on external HDD. When I connect my HDD to the comp and point iTunes to the HDD library everything is good and I see my songs. As soon as I connect iPod it shows up “unknown device” in a device manager. If I disconnect HDD and connect iPod only windows finds it OK, but as soon as I plug HDD back in iPod disappears. I’ve tried reinstalling sys and inf files, pointing towards updated drivers and all nothing still the same thing, tried every port and every combination on the computer USB ports still the same thing iPod and HDD don’t want to work together. Please advice, thanks.

I got the same problem here but not just with IPod. When I power up my external disk (with aux power supply) my usb stick (or IPod or printer or scanner or other devices) on other ports get disconnected. All devices did work toghether some months ago.
I think this is related to a hardware problem. Things began to fail, when I tried to co-supply 5V to a device connected to my usb bus. I possibly toasted some logic on the motherbord.
Testing your hardware on a second system may help you. Or have a look if a USB stick instead of IPod gets disconnected too. This may prove that its not IPod related.
Good luck

[SOLVED] building xorg-server: libgl & nvidia-utils conflict

Hello!
I somehow feel like I'm totally missing the point, but...
edit: although I think (not sure any more) this was the same procedure when I first compiled xorg-server, I maybe should mention, I'm now using the testing xorg.
I still don't really understand, why I need libgl to build xorg-server. Aren't nvidia-utils supposed to replace that? Is there a way of building xorg-server with nvidia-utils instead of libgl and if yes: are there (dis-/) advantages doing so other than not having to uninstall nvidia-utils while compiling xorg-server?
Or the other way around: Perhaps it's just me, but I feel "funny" having to remove something that's vital to my installation before I can compile something that's vital to my installation, too... so is it really OK to remove nvidia-utils and compile xorg-server without it or am I doing it wrong?
Thank you for enlightening me

Well AFAIK, The nVIDIA closed source drivers haven't caught up with xorg server 1.6 which is why you need libgl to build xorg-xserver 1.6+. I personally perfer the open source drivers over Fglrx (FireGL and Radeon X) and the closed source nVIDIA drivers as well.
edit: xorg server is 1.6 in testing so if you want to compile from source, and have the closed source nvidia drivers, you would need to compile xorg server 1.5.XX
P.S. You cannot have both, the nvidia drivers and the open source drivers (libgl), running at the same time which is why the nvidia-* packages are to be removed.
Cheers!

['Solved'] xorg-server 1.9.0-1 split into several xorg servers

So what's up with the [Testing]'s xorg-server 1.9(.0-1) being split into xorg-server/-common/-devel/-xdmx/-xephyr/-xnest/-xvfb?
Last edited by algorythm (2010-08-24 16:24:35)

nvidia doesn't get built, just repackaged, so it doesn't require any xorg-server-* stuff to build. The -devel package is required to build drivers from source. The xorg-server and xorg-server-common packages are the usual packages that will become installed on all desktop systems.

[Solved] xorg server & keyboard conf error messages after upgrade

I ran my daily upgrade (today was big, from FF to the kernel to xorg) and I was not able to login on GDM afterwards.
It's weird. The X server will start, and so will the GDM login screen. But entering the password will result in a GDM crash (I later found out that KDM and SLIM have the same issue; KDM not starting and SLIM refusing the keyboard input). So after starting an alternate console and trying to start x (startx), I have this error message:
"Th e XKEYBOARDMAP keymap compiler (xbcomp) reports:
Error: Cannot close "/tmp/server-0.xkm" properly (not enough space?)
Output file "/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.
Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices "
I have been fiddling with the keyboard config on xorg.conf but I'm not sure I'm getting anywhere. Also, I downgraded the xorg-server and xkeyboard config packages just to be sure.
Any clue?
Thanks!

Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
* I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
* I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
Thanks!

Super Drive don't work (ejct automatically)

Hello,
This is more of a Fusion issue, so probably better answered in the Fusion Forums.
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion
But here's the answer anyway: what you are experiencing is not a malfunction and nothing is wrong with your system.
Whenever Fusion is on, it captures the cd/dvd drive by default and hides it from OSX. There is an option in Fusion that toggles this behavior. Open Fusion, and in your "VIrtual Machine Library," select the machine that you want to change. Then click on "Settings." Under Removable Devices, you will find "CD/DVD." *Uncheck "connected"*, and your CD/DVD drive will function normally in OSX.
*But this option only toggles the boot-time behavior.* Once WinXP is booted inside Fusion, you can just select Virtual Machine (in the menu bar), CD/DVD, Connect CD/DVD to use your drive inside WinXP. OR select "Disconnect" to use your drive in OSX. *You cannot use the CD/DVD drive for OSX and WinXP simultaneously.* But you can switch back and forth without shutting down WInXP or Fusion.
Also, make sure VMWare tools is installed in WinXP.

HT201412 My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work, As long as I have this situation I can do nothing on

My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.
