[Solved] xorg stuck in tty1 with nouveau driver on dell xps laptop

hi all, struggling with xorg on dell xps with nouveau driver.
Nouveau works under ubuntu LTS so no hardware problem.
Followed the arch wiki for installation and all related links (nouveau, xorg etc.)
startx (and startxfce4): it seems like xserver has started but I'm stuck
in tty1 still seeing the text output of the command; ctrl-c doesn't work and I need to log into tty2 to be able to kill the xserver.
Had to create an Xorg.conf with Xorg :0 -configure (else xserver couldn't start with fatal error screen not found).
Xorg.log.0 shows no EE errors.
Tried all the tricks read on the wiki, e.g. downgraded the kernel, deleted ~/.xinitrc, deleted xorg.conf (also tried
a minimal xorg.conf with only the screen section), blacklisted modules i915 and intel_agp, checked there's no vga=
options in my bootloader. Tried some other tricks found on forum posts to no avail.
Any suggestions highly appreciated.

I overlooked that issue. It seems under ubuntu both cards are used together and it works automagically without bumblebee. I was hoping to achieve the same on arch,
given bumblebee's wiki says: "Warning: Bumblebee is still under heavy development! But your help is very welcome."
All Bumblebee is under heavy development, true, but no reason to not install it, I mean Arch is under heavy development too....
As for Ubuntu, I don't use it, and have no plans to do so, but tell me, how are they putting it together?
Just open the Bumblebee wiki, read carefully, and install it.
Take extra care with nvidia, you then need to reinstall Intel too.
Basically as advised in the install guide:
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm
I wanted to know if you installed the Xorg group, but you did it the right way.

Shell recording takes place very slow with nouveau driver on gnome

Shell recording takes place very slow with nouveau driver on gnome(specifically gnome-shell).But when I used the nvidia-prop. driver,it just recorded fine.Are any other arch+nvidia-card users experiencing the same issue or it has got to do something with fps in dconf.(or it is a specific problem with my nvidia card).

It happened to me and has been for a long time. I got a new laptop about a month ago -- an i7. Though it's not as long as it was on my old desktop, it happens on this machine too. It happened right from a fresh install. I think it's just what Gnome does. I have no answers.

[SOLVED] Setting higher reslution using the nouveau driver

Hi all,
I just upgraded my system and installed the nouveau driver (as described here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau), because the nvidia driver seems to be incompatible with newer xorg server (http://www.archlinux.org/news/nvidia-17 … rom-extra/) , right ?
So now it seems that I am running the X with the nouveau driver, but the resolution of my monitor is 1024x768. This is not very cool because it was 1280x1024 before the upgrade. I am using KDE and its screen & resolution tool does not show something higher than 1024x768 too.
Can you give me some help setting back the correct resolution or give me some link to similar discussion when I can find the info?
Thanks a lot!

Nope, linux-lts did not solve the problem (just installed it). But just to be sure I am not doing anything wrong...when installing the nuveau driver do I need to change anything manually in xorg.conf or other file under /etc/X11?
Because what i did is just doint this:
# pacman -Rdds nvidia nvidia-utils
# pacman -S --asdeps libgl
as described in the Wiki.
Looking at my xorg.conf I see:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nouveau"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card1"
Driver "vesa"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
So it seems the file was updated I am running nouveau, but do I need to change anything else manually?

[solved] Xorg freezing on wakeup with EXA enabled

I am having a weird issue. Whenever I put my laptop to sleep and then I wake it up, Xorg seems to freeze on me. I've noticed this only happens with EXA enabled and it does not happen when the laptop hibernates. I don't have any other issues with X (as far as I can tell) and I really want to use EXA acceleration because otherwise maximizing or restoring windows and also viewing the widget dashboard in KDE 4.4 is painfully slow ... ~2-3s. With EXA, it is instantaneous and since I really put my laptop to sleep a lot, I would like to figure out what is going on.
Here is some info, let me know if you need other information:
xf86-video-ati 6.12.4-3 (xorg-video-drivers)
libgl 7.7.1-0.1

Option "DMAForXv" "on" # Forced option in order to enable Xv overlay.
Option "ScalerWidth" "2048" # That should fix some very rare bugs.
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" # It will not be enabled on R5xx cards.
Option "RenderAccel" "on" # Optional. It should be enabled by default.
Option "AccelDFS" "on" #Optional. See the man page.
Option "BusType" "PCIE"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
If tried all kinds of combinations with xorg.conf ... even tried it without an xorg.conf and nothing seems to work. It either freezes on wake-up (with EXA) or KDE is slugish (anything else).
I also tried installing the ATI proprietary drivers as well, but I can't since they don't work with the updated versions of X/kernel that I have.
Does any1 have any suggestions or maybe know if it's possible to dynamically stop EXA just before suspending to RAM and enabling it on wake up?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] Could not start x with nouveau

Hi, i just switched from the nvidia driver to nouveau, but could not get X to start. I am getting an "KMS not enabled" error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. My GPU is Nvidia G105M. I have used the nouveau driver in the past, but there was no kms back then. I have done everything according the nouveau page in arch's wiki.
Any ideas how to start x?
Thanks
Last edited by raxbg (2014-05-25 18:40:10)

You could try loading the KMS early in the boot process, as described in the wiki: "Early KMS Start"
However, I do not use nvidia/nouveau so this is just a wild guess

Using CUDA with nouveau driver

Hello there
I want to use CUDA for C programming, but I do not want to use the Nvidia driver, is it possible to use the nouveau driver, and still be able to use CUDA on my nvidia card?

Actually, I do believe it is possible. There's a site here:http://askubuntu.com/questions/131506/how-can-i-get-nvidia-cuda-or-opencl-working-on-a-laptop-with-nvidia-discrete-car that describes it but I don't know how to do that.
Windows can do it, too, but we're in Arch so I guess someone has to find a way to work that out or make the CUDA instructions in the wiki much easier.

[Solved] Cannot burn CD's with LG drive on new system

[SOLVED] Xorg listening to network with xinit

Hi forum,
Today I found out that for some reason, my X server is listening to port 6000 on all interfaces:
[marti@larry]% sudo netstat -pntl |grep X
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17163/X
tcp 0 0 :::6000 :::* LISTEN 17163/X
I assumed that X is launched with TCP disabled on all modern distros. I'm starting X with xinit and my /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc indeed seems to be configured to disable TCP:
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp
I haven't tweaked X at all besides a little /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Builtin Default intel Device 0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
Device "Builtin Default intel Device 0"
SubSection "Display"
#Virtual 2960 1050
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Builtin Default Layout"
Screen "Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
EndSection
What gives? Why isn't xinit launching X using its xserverrc?
Last edited by intgr (2009-10-04 17:43:57)

I've discovered the same problem. Moreover, Xorg does not read the "~/.Xauthority" file, so anyone can connect to my Xorg (!!!) (I discovered this when trying to connect to Xorg from a freshly created user account).
Is it the intended behavior? I run Xorg by:
xinit ~/.xinitrc-gnome -- >/tmp/X-user-out 2>/tmp/X-user-err </dev/null &
"~/.xinitrc-gnome" :
#!/bin/sh
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
For now I can remedy the vulnerability by:
xinit ~/.xinitrc-gnome -- -nolisten tcp -auth ~/.Xauthority >/tmp/X-user-out 2>/tmp/X-user-err </dev/null &

Reposting: x3750 M4 SED Drives Stuck at boot with BIOS Drive Security

This post was originally posted on IBM’s developerWorks public forum (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=262ef99a-30bf-48bd-861c-e78eddc55c...) The following is a summary of the post issue and the response.
Issue:
I have an x3750 M4 system with M5210 Controller, 1GB Flash RADI 5 option installed, and 8 SED drives. The BIOS "Drive Security" is activated. The previously password does not work and the system gets in a loop prompting again for the pass phrase. When the cache, and thus the support for SED drives, is removed, the server boots fine.
Response:
The first step is to update the ServeRAID firmware. See RETAIN tip number H213237 “ServeRAID: UEFI use of SED pass phrase causes system restart - IBM System x” (https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/myportal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5096178&brandind=5000008)
If that does not work, then the system board and ServeRAID require replacement. Please contact support for this option.

In case anyone wonders, my "solution" was to change to a WB Elements Desktop 3TB (only USB 2.0 is currently available for this model). I miss the speed of USB 3.0, but it's much nicer to not have to remember to unplug and plug in the hard drive each time I boot.
Still hoping to see a proper solution to this (since I don't have the WB My Book anymore, I can't test adaher's suggestion).

[SOLVED] xorg update has broken nvidia-173xx driver

Hi,
I've been using arch for around 2 and a half months on 2 computers (a dell Inspiron 2200 and an old home built pc). So far I've been able to figure out most things myself. However, following today's xorg update x seems to be broken. My laptop, which does not use nvidia, seems to be fine. On the pc i installed the i686 version and am running kde 4.5.1
I have reinstalled nvidia-173xx and nvidia-173xx-utils, and run nvidia-xconfig but this has not helped any.
Although the installation is carried out there is an error stating:
ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules In order to use the new nvidia driver, exit xserver and unload it manually
A google search on the above error didn't advance me any further, either.
I have also waited for today's kernel update but that hasn't seemed to fix things.
If I run "startkde" i get an error message stating that it can't connect to the x server.
"startx" says much the same only more verbose.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following information :
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so undefined sym$
failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so
unloadable module "nvidia"
failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)
I've done a lot of esearch but can't find any solutions to my issue. The following thread seems to be related :
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103716
but i can't seem to find an answer there either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

xorg-server: /usr/share/man/Xserver.1.gz is already present on the file system
xorg-server; /usr/share/xkb/README.compiled is afready present in the file system
is it possible to safely force the installation?
sorry if thatś a lazy question but I've been looking at this for so long that i can't fathom the idea of futher searching.
EDIT: ok, i had a break and realised it'd be safer to simply rename and the delete the problematic files. The downgrade went fine. I have X back.
thanks for the help.

Replacing HD in dv6110ca with a drive from another HP laptop

Hello there...
I have a DV2500 that has died. The hard drive is a Fujutsu 250gb. I also have a dv6110ca that the HD maybe on its last legs. Would the 250gb drive from the dv2500 fit the dv6110ca??

Hi,
Yes, physically fit. All standard 2.5" HDD's have same size. The new generation HDD's are thinner but still fit. Your machines use the previous generation.

HP P1006 laserjet not working with a windows 7 Dell e5510 laptop

Hello
Any help is appreciated. When I plug into the usb I get an error message so therefore I can not continue with the installation of the drivers. aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! This is frustrating.
thanks for any advice and suggestions

Hi Donaldparis,
After researching from the HP website, I realize that they do not release the HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for Windows 7. It means that you will install the Windows 7 built-in basic driver and use the basic features. For more information about how to install the basic driver, you may refer to the following link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3463669&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c01856597#category4
Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
If it does not work, you may also try to install the printer driver for Windows Vista under compatibility mode.
Install driver under compatibility mode & Administrator level
==================================
1.Right click on the exe file for driver and click Properties.
2.Click on the Compatibility tab.
3.Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”
4.Choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop down list.
5.Select “Run this program as an administrator” option under the Privilege Level topic.
6.Click Apply, click OK.
7. Please double click on the exe file again.
Good luck!

Webcam Driver for Dell xps 1530 notebook

How can i identify the type of webcam installed in my notebook. I'm looking for actual windows 7 drivers for the webcam. Unfortunately on the dell support-site?there is no information available.
Thanks

,Marcello_t,
The drivers you see in the Creative download site are for retail webcams, you won't find integrated webcam drivers there. These are usually provided by the notebook vendor. I am afraid you will need to contact the vendor for assistance on locating the driver.

[SOLVED] Dell XPS 15 l502x + GT 540M + Bumblebee: No devices detected

Hello everyone,
I have Dell XPS 15 l502x laptop with GT 540M graphics card with optimus support. I want to enable optimus with bumblebee, but no matter what I do I just can't make it work. I'm already start thinking that this laptop is not supported....
I've installed the following packages from AUR to support optimus on my laptop:
bumblebee
nvidia-bumblebee

I have bumblebee, dkms-bbswitch, nvidia-utils-bumblebee, nvidia, virtualgl
My bumblebee.conf is:
# Configuration file for Bumblebee. Values should **not** be put between quotes
## Server options. Any change made in this section will need a server restart
# to take effect.
[bumblebeed]
# The secondary Xorg server DISPLAY number
VirtualDisplay=:8
# Should the unused Xorg server be kept running? Set this to true if waiting
# for X to be ready is too long and don't need power management at all.
KeepUnusedXServer=false
# The name of the Bumbleblee server group name (GID name)
ServerGroup=bumblebee
# Card power state at exit. Set to false if the card shoud be ON when Bumblebee
# server exits.
TurnCardOffAtExit=true
# The default behavior of '-f' option on optirun. If set to "true", '-f' will
# be ignored.
NoEcoModeOverride=false
# The Driver used by Bumblebee server. If this value is not set (or empty),
# auto-detection is performed. The available drivers are nvidia and nouveau
# (See also the driver-specific sections below)
Driver=nvidia
## Client options. Will take effect on the next optirun executed.
[optirun]
# The method used for VirtualGL to transport frames between X servers.
# Possible values are proxy, jpeg, rgb, xv and yuv.
VGLTransport=proxy
# Should the program run under optirun even if Bumblebee server or nvidia card
# is not available?
AllowFallbackToIGC=false
# Driver-specific settings are grouped under [driver-NAME]. The sections are
# parsed if the Driver setting in [bumblebeed] is set to NAME (or if auto-
# detection resolves to NAME).
# PMMethod: method to use for saving power by disabling the nvidia card, valid
# values are: auto - automatically detect which PM method to use
# bbswitch - new in BB 3, recommended if available
# switcheroo - vga_switcheroo method
# none - disable PM completely
# https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Comparison-of-PM-methods
## Section with nvidia driver specific options, only parsed if Driver=nvidia
[driver-nvidia]
# Module name to load, defaults to Driver if empty or unset
KernelDriver=nvidia
Module=nvidia
PMMethod=bbswitch
# colon-separated path to the nvidia libraries
LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia-bumblebee:/usr/lib32/nvidia-bumblebee
# comma-separated path of the directory containing nvidia_drv.so and the
# default Xorg modules path
XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-bumblebee/xorg/,/usr/lib/xorg/modules
XorgConfFile=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
## Section with nouveau driver specific options, only parsed if Driver=nouveau
[driver-nouveau]
KernelDriver=nouveau
PMMethod=bbswitch
XorgConfFile=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nouveau
I haven't edited any xorg.conf files whatsoever, so they are just the default ones. Here is /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "UseEDID" "false"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
EndSection
What are the full relevant sections in lspci -vvnn saying? your grepping removed the verbose bits. e.g. when my nvidia card is off, it gives:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] [10de:0df5] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
!!! Unknown header type 7f
but different when it's turned on.

[Solved] xorg stuck in tty1 with nouveau driver on dell xps laptop
