[SOLVED] Xorg will not start
Installed Arch Linux, replaced the nouveau driver with the nvidia-304xx drivers. After issuing startx, Gnome does not load. I get a brief flash of the nvidia logo, and then nothing. My results:

Thank you for all the pointers!
Here are my results:
[root@localhost ~]# cat .xinitrc
exec startlxde
[root@localhost ~]# vi .xinitrc
[root@localhost ~]# cat .xinitrc
exec gnome-session
[root@localhost ~]#
I had installed LXDE earlier, couldn't configure the font DPI, so i tried GNOME, but forgot to change .xinitrc
Thank you !

It looks like it's trying to start the nouvea driver. The thing is I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT:
Okay, making progress... I ran sudo modprobe nvidia and my driver loaded. I ran startx and xorg-server started, Hooray! Then my desktop opened and..... froze. Ctl-Alt-F1 did not open another tty, everything was completely frozen. I had to hit the restart switch. Any ideas?
Last edited by necbot (2015-03-27 23:54:13)Okay, I'm not really sure what I did to fix the problem, but it seems to have gone away. I rebooted a few times and had to manually load my nvidia driver using modprobe in order to start xorg-server. My system would still freeze though, then I installed the nouveau driver and started using that and the freezes stopped. I reinstalled the nvidia driver and... everything seems to work fine. I reenabled lightdm service and my desktop loaded with no errors and there have been no system freezes. ????????????? I have no idea why that worked.

Last edited by nibblebot (2013-07-15 17:55:35)Ok, should have researched this more. This post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=165913 led me to https://www.archlinux.org/news/filesyst … equired-1/
Basically, somehow, my /var/run was no longer symlinked to /run.
I ran the commands here after stopping all the services whose pids were in /var/run.
Then restarted and now avahi works again. -
[NOT SOLVED] Gnome will not start
I'm editing this original message by way of summing up so that anyone coming here with a similar problem will know what to expect if they read further:
I believe the reason Gnome would not start on the machine in question was that it made too many demands on the available hardware (see desm0te's comments below).
For this reason I decided to switch to LXDE as Desktop Environment which works well on the restricted hardware. I did not investigate the Gnome related problem any further.
The original message follows:
After a successful installation of the basic command-line Arch according to the Beginner's Guide, I went on to install Gnome according to instructions in the Wiki.
I Did not want Gnome to start automatically but only when I type in the command startx.
This it does, but all I get is the nice blue "curtain" background - no black bar at top of screen with Actions, date , name etc...
and no cursor.
One funny thing was - this afternoon while I was concentrating on another machine - the black bar suddenly appeared (apparently for no reason) showing the date and my name but with the X cursor
from the X11 environment. However as soon as I moved this cursor to the bar and clicked, both dursor and bar disappeared never to return .
I decided to redirect the stderr of startx to a file in the hope that it would give a clue as to what was wrong.

If this gives clues could someone please point me in the right direction? Are the two EE messages significant (Failed to load modules "vesa" and "fbdev"). What is Clutter*? What should I do to get it initialized?
Thanks for any help.

To take your points one by one:
1. I am now quite happy with LXDE too. The problems I mentioned last night seem to have gone (???!!!) and I can just start LXDE from my user account. Maybe later, I'll realize what I was doing wrong or rather what I did to make it work... . Now I just type:
startx
having put:
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
in .xinitrc.
2. Thanks for the tip about yaourt. I shall try that sooner or later.
3. Well as I said - I don't understand what I was doing wrong - which makes me feel a bit stupid and is rather annoying but looking on the bright side it's fine to be able to start-up, have a legible screen and logout successfully - which I couln't do before. I now have to figure out how to expand the contents of LXDE a bit but that's the fun of it!
LXDE starts up nicely with minimal possibilties but I can change look & feel and customize the panel settings.
"Menu" contains:
Accessories:
File Manager
Image Viewer
LXTerminal
Leafpad
Xarchiver
Internet:
Avahi SSH Server Browser
Avahi VNC Server Browser
Office:
ePDFViewer
System Tools:
Avahi Zerconf Browser
Task Manager
Preferences:
Customize Look and Feel
Monitor Settings
OPenbox Configuration Maanger
Preferred Applications
Run
Logout
All of these start up OK and work, on cursory examination, except the Avahi Browsers which I don't understand and which appear to do nothing as no window appears on screen.
4. I'm not quite sure I can yet see the use of a login manager such as SLiM, since I seem to get on quite nicely without it but since I've heard it mentioned a lot I'm sure I'm just missing the point.

[SOLVED] KDE will not start, not sure if I set it up correctly
I installed ArchLinux today and I've been looking through the Wiki to get things setup.
In the Desktop Enviornment page it says to install the Xorg server first before installing an enviornment, so I installed xorg-server with: pacman -S xorg-server
I edited /etc/rc.conf to include 'dbus' in the Daemon array
I installed KDE with: pacman -S kde
I edited /etc/inittab to comment out:
#id:3:initdefault:
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
and uncomment:
id:5:initdefault:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
as it said to on the KDE page.
Then I restarted and used 'root' as login and all I saw was the terminal.
I'm not sure if I missed anything (I read through the KDE, Desktop Environment, Xorg, and DisplayManager pages) or if I just did something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
Last edited by harsha (2012-08-04 00:51:26)First, you shouldn't try to login to X as root. Login as your user.
Also, I'd suggest following the beginners guide through testing TWM to make sure you've installed X correctly before you try to get KDE running.
After you've made it through those two steps (or if either fails), come back with the error messages or output you get in the attempt. -

I am trying to download video from the BBC iplayer and the download helper will not start. How do I get it to start?
No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key. -
ITunes will not start on desktop. How to solve?
Over the last few weeks, iTunes will not start without my going through several reboots of my desktop.
When it does deign to start it always goes through the interminable "checking iTunes library".
Also, when it finally starts, it is frequently not now finding my iPhone.
It won't always connect with the iTunes store.
I could uninstall and re install but I don't know how to do this without losing the libraries.
Why is this happening and is there an easy solution, please?Thanks for this. I will respond in more detail once I work my way through the suggestions.
As an aside, my iPhone started iTunes when plugged in, this morning. But the site neither recognised the iPhone nor would connect to the iPhones store. It hung on the annoying Genius update. Replugging did not even open iTunes.
Thanks again.

when I tried to update to the new version of Itunes - message box appears "APSDAEMON.EXE MSVCR80.DLL is missing". Then another box indicates "Error 7 (Windows error 126)". Itunes will not start. Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to fix?

When I start I get this message" The Logon USer Interface DLL failed to load - Contact your administratoe to replace the DLL or restore the original".
How do I fix so I can start my windows.
Thanks,Hello -
Try this:
- When you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section, click Restart.
- Press F8 repeatedly as your computer begins to restart. This triggers the Windows Advanced Options menu.
- Use the arrows on your keyboard to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
(Also, You can try Safe Mode and do a "System Restore" from there.)
***Last Resort, you will have to edit the registry and this may prevent your computer from booting***
- boot your system and tap away at F8
- Select Safe Mode
- After Windows loads into safe mode.
- Start >> Run >> “regedit” Press Enter.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Look for the GinaDLL Key
- Select and delete this key and this key ONLY. DO NOT delete the entire Winlogon folder of keys.
- Close Regedit with the RED "X"and reboot the machine

IF IT DON'T START.HOLD DOWN FOR TEN SECONDS AGAIN.DON'T UN-PLUG IT.PUSH TO START AGAIN. DOS START-UP SCREEN WILL COME ON.USE KEYBOARD TO SELECT SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKS.CLICK ENTER. IT SHOULD START WITH LIMITED SOFTWARE TO RUN AND TROUBLE SHOOT. I JUST DID ALL THAT TO GET HERE TO THIS FORUM. DOESN'T SOLVE MY PROBLEM. BUT AT LEAST FOR NOW I AM TO SEARCH FOR MORE SOLUTIONS.

My mothers PowerMac G4 that will not start up. it gets to the gray screen with the apple logo and stays there. We have tried everything I can think of but nothing works, we did the PMU rest thing, tried the Disk Utility and got a message saying the “underlying task failed upon exit”, and lastly we have tried the archive and install thing it cut's out about 1/2 of the way. I’m out of ideas… help!
Side note: We can’t wipe the HD because she has a book, and photos she needs on that HD.Hi, midgear!
If you don't have another Mac to connect to, do you have a spare drive you could connect externally or install internally? If so, and if the drive will mount, you might install OS X on the spare drive and copy her Home folder to the spare, or boot OS 9 from disc and copy her user data to the spare drive. Once you secure her important files, you can try zeroing the data on the original drive and doing a fresh install of OS X, then restore her user data to it.
As John indicated, the principal focus should probably be to recover her user files, after which you can focus on the errant drive. DiskWarrior might solve the problem without the need for another drive or another Mac, depending on the type and extent of directory damage that has occurred. What are the specific error messages that Disk Utiity reports when run from the Tiger install disc? (These messages normally appear in red type before the "underlying task failed upon exit" message appears.) Also, it might be helpful to know what model G4 she owns, if you have that info.

HP Pavilion dv4 will not start up
Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. My friend has an HP Pavilion dv4--2045dx running Windows 7 and it will not start up. Once it is turned on the hp logo appears for a quick second and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left, top corner comes up. If I press ctrl alt del and then esc I can get into the menu for F1, F2, F11 etc. I have run and passed all of the system diagnostics tests (Start up, Memory and Hard Drive). I have tried to reset the BIOS to default condition and also tried to connect the laptop to my TV to see if it was the screen that doesn't work, but it wasn't. I tried a hard reset also. When I press F11 for a system recovery, nothing happens. It just goes right back to the black screen with blinking cursor. All of the other F-keys work and I am able to pull up screens for each, except the F11 key.
I am not very computer literate but am trying everything I can think of to get it back to factory settings or system recovery. If anybody out there has any idea what I'm talking about (I'm not sure I even do) please please give me some suggestions!!
I tried to write all of the information I can think of, but if you have any questions about the issue I'll be glad to answer what I can!
Any suggestions/help are GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may share!!Hi,
Try the following to see if the Hard Drive is accessible. The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) When you've created the CD, follow the rest of the instructions and see if you can access the HDD - you may want to back up your existing files if you can.
