Using Ubuntu-patched Xorg in Arch

Hello.
I found one post where someone stated that Ubuntu-patched Xorg seems more stable than the vanilla Xorg by Arch...
Therefore I tried to install it via AUR: by yaourt -S xorg-server-ubuntu
But after rebooting KDM didn't start, only bash login...
I looked into Xorg.0.log where I saw as if the intel video driver was not compatible with the Xorg version 10 Ubuntu used... Therefore I downloaded Intel drivers for Xorg 10 version from Intel website and I compiled them... Also, I downgroaded Mesa for previous version.
However, it didn't help neither and I ended up with text login...
Here there are last lines of Xorg.0.log:
[ 19.622] (II) Module dri2: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
[ 19.651] Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
[ 19.651]
Of course, before that I uninstalled xf86-video-intel and compiled the new drivers.
Any ideas where there can be a problem?

Probably me
Wouldn't it be easier
No. Surprised you asked.
downgrade xorg as a whole
No need. Ubuntu's patches for inputproto are required, but everything else can be bleeding-edge AFAIR.
Edit: Still needs nvidia 285.05.09 for smooth flash - both 290.10 and 295.09 make flash pause, in firefox.

  • [SLVD] force using /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so

    Latest versions of catalyst bring powerXpress support - it means that we can now switch between discreet AMD gfx driver and integrated intel gfx driver (and maybe also switch between catalyst and ati oss driver).
    I'm working on it now, unfortunatelly it's not that easy to implement in a right way in Arch. There's no way without doing some ugly tricks (like creating /usr/X11R6 dir). Although i must say that i almost succeeded.
    Yes, i know that /usr/X11R6/lib is obsolete and not supported by Arch, but i must to place catalyst's libGL.so somewhere so it wouldn't conflict with libgl's libGL.so (+ more important is to be able to update libgl package without problems), and that directory is looking good.
    Basically this whole powerXpress suport = linking libGL and libglx libraries into right place. Let me show you some functions:
    switching libGL:
    function switch_to_amd() {
    ln -snf /usr/X11R6/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 \
    /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
    ln -snf libGL.so.1.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
    ln -snf libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
    ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib
    function switch_to_intel() {
    ln -snf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 \
    /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
    ln -snf libGL.so.1.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
    ln -snf libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
    ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib
    switching libglx:
    function switch_to_amd() {
    ln -snf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so \
    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
    function switch_to_intel() {
    ln -snf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so \
    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
    I've created /etc/ld.so.conf.d/catalyst.conf with:
    /usr/X11R6/lib
    inside. I've also added /usr/X11R6/lib into PATH in /etc/profile in 1st place (just in case).
    And it's working fine (i mean catalyst is working fine) untill i will install libgl (so it's not fine)... After restart, when running X server screen goes blank and i cannot do anything (even when it's switched to amd). /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks fine, no errors, it's longer than usuall with those lines:

    but it doesn't look relevant.
    I don't know is it:
    - /usr/X11R6/lib that is chosen after /usr/lib
    - OR /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/ that is chosen after /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/  - i though that updates should be taken in 1st place by default
    Maybe both of them?
    Right now i'm thinking that this is the problem of /usr/X11R6/lib that need to be taken before /usr/lib, so my question is same as the question in topic of this post.
    I will really appreciate any help.
    Btw: there's only one file in /usr/X11R6/lib : /usr/X11R6/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2
    + there's only one file in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions : /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so
    I took this whole solution and scripts from SUSE (AMD's solution is really ugly). SUSE also doesn't like /usr/X11R6/lib, but they used it and there it seems to work. I mean i don't have SUSE, i just see their catalyst packaging script.

    've installed libgl, then removed /usr/lib/libGL.so* and problem persist. Then i reinstalled libgl, and removed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so - it was working fine...
    This may be because of  a fallback option that if libglx.so is not found , xorg uses libglx.xorg .
    But libglx.so owned by catalyst (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so) should be found, and is found if only libglx.so owned by libgl (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so) is not present. And if the last one is absent i can see in Xorg.0.log that xserver/catalyst is using that one placed in updates dir, not libglx.xorg.
    Now i removed libgl, and removed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so, so catalyst should got troubles, restart X and same problem: blank screen with only one char sign on top left corner: _
    So obviously catalyst need that /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
    I just don't know how to force using /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions directory over /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions dir...
    Maybe i need something like LD_PRELOAD or something.
    This maybe not clear but what i'm trying to reach right now is to get catalyst working when libgl package is present, cuz it's looking like good begining.
    Lone_Wolf wrote:It does look like xorg doesn't entirely folllow ldconfig / symbolic links , so i'm inclined to suggest to keep things as simple as possible and change only what's really necessary .
    Ofcourse, i also don't like this whole /usr/X11R6/lib thing. Hell no, i even don't got intel gfx , i'm only trying to implement something that can be usefull for others.
    And since SUSE know how to use /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions directory over /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions i'm sure it's also possible in Arch. Maybe the right and only way is to change something in xserver compilation, i don't know. Right now i'm trying to do this in "easier" way.
    Lone_Wolf wrote:
    As your libraries have different names as the mesa ones :
    place fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 in /usr/lib
    put fglrx-libglx.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions
    for libgl only change the symbolic link just above the binary :  /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
    for libglx change /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
    That ofcourse should work - since it will link to proper libs.
    But it's not what i'm trying to reach : catalyst and libgl installed without conflicts.
    Lone_Wolf wrote:If that works, you'll atleast know the switch is possible.
    Just a mention: this whole linking thing isn't anything new, it was used by linux users for long time so such switch is possible (as i can see they used to use such linking as you suggested but imho it's bad way - it should to be done without pacman's conflicts), now ati is just trying to implement it by default.
    This powerXpress support is still in developement, although i can see what way ati picked up, i'm trying to follow it and i'm pretty sure that it will work if i will follow it. The sooner - the better.

  • How to use a patched version of pdftex?

    Hello,
    I would like to use a patched version of pdftex to be able to compile PDF/A compliant documents. Patch is here, and the compilation works without problems. However, I do not manage to use that compiled version of pdftex.
    Using the instructions on running different versions of pdftex on Stackexchange or at rivervalley, I startle at the point where format files have to be generated:
    ## TeX.stackexchange answer
    ## create formats, using the new pdftex, and the ini files from the existing TeX installation
    pdftex -ini -etex pdftex.ini # in the Stackexchange answer, pdftex.ini is used. In the other instructions, pdfetex.ini
    pdftex -ini -etex pdflatex.ini
    The ini files are not found by pdftex:
    This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) (INITEX)
    restricted \write18 enabled.
    entering extended mode
    ! I can't find file `pdfetex.ini'.
    <*> pdftex.ini
    Naturally there is not pdftex.ini, pdfetex.ini or pdflatex.ini in the working directory. In the file tree, the files of interest are present, and they are also found by kpsewhich:
    /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain/config/pdfetex.ini
    /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/pdflatex.ini
    However, running the command with the full path, copying the files into the working directory, or running the command as superuser in those directories (bad idea, i know) does not work either. I guess my environment variables or other settings are not correct - does someone have a glue how to resolve this?
    Thanks!
    Edit: Cross-posted on Stackexchange: here. If that is discouraged, I can close this thread.

  • How to use new patch updates in track

    Hi All,
    I am a developer working in NWDI. We have everything in place and working fine upto now.
    SAP has release a patch for the software component i am using in a track. Basis guys have updated the track and they confirmed the patch is updated successfully.
    Now when ever i rebuild my DC, the changes are not effected as per the new patch. Please let me how I will be able to use new patch updates in my DC(In NWDS I can see the old source code only, I did all SYNC's and refresh but didnt worked, even NWDI is restarted)
    How I can confirm that the patch is updated to track successfully, from a developer point of view.
    I have access to CMS and CBS.
    Regards,

  • [PROBLEM SOLVED] After last update, Can't use keyboard in Xorg

    Apparently the last system upgrade installed "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2-1-i686" but I reverted back to "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1-1-i686" and everything is working again.
    Lesson learned: put all xorg related packages to hold because my geforce2 mx440 won't need updates.
    This is just frustrating. After doing a system upgrade (which upgraded xorg to version 1.5) I can't use the keyboard anymore. In fact, my screen would freeze also, as long as I was using the latest Xorg version. This machine's card is a geforce2 mx440.
    So I downgraded xorg-server with pacman -Rd xorg-server and pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-yadayada1.4yadayada; Fine, I can use the mouse and open X just as normal as before. BUT the keyboard seems helpless.

  • Flash doesn't work at all in Firefox 3.5 using Ubuntu Linux

    Hello and Help,
    I have not been able to have any flash capability using Ubuntu Jaunty or now Karmic.  I think this started when I upgraded to FF3.5.  But I have exhausted all the fixes in Ubuntu and FF and I see in these forums these problems are not rare.  I have installed and un installed and reinstalled.  Whether I reinstall with it having been uninstalled or not, I get an error message that a newer version is already installed.  I get this even after completely uninstalling and rebooting.
    I am very frustrated a bout the flash problem and hope there are some suggestions.  Thanks.

    Can you start in Firefox safe mode? See [[Safe Mode]]

  • Is it possible to do dual boot in Mountain Lion using Ubuntu 14.2?

    Since I updated my Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion my Macbook (white) has become extremelly slow and have frequently locked.
    Is it possible to dual boot using Ubuntu 14.2 (latest version) or even erase OSx and install Ubuntu only in my Macbook?
    Thanks.

    Not sure if you ever got help with this but I would first make sure you have at least 4GB of RAM and then perform a clean install of 10.8 or 10.9.  I have never been a fan of OS upgrades.  Especially from 10.6 to 10.8/10.9 since the OSs are drastically different.

    In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

  • I need to update to firefox 5.0 using ubuntu ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx, how can I do it?

    I have firefox 3.6.17, but lately some problems have aroused while browsing the internet: all of a sudden, when I change from one tab to another, more often than not firefox goes all black and white and the cursos dies. I have to wait some minutes for the colour to come back and thus, the possibility to control mouse and keyboard. I am assuming that the new version 5.0 for linux will help solve this problem, but I can not figure out how to install it using ubuntu. Thank you very much.

  • Satellite C855-1CU switch on itself without any reason using Ubuntu

    Hi to all,
    I hope that somebody can help, I have a notebook TOSHIBA C855-1CU
    I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a partition and WINDOWS 7 on another partition
    the question is : if I turn off my PC from Ubuntu then stays turned off for about 4-7 seconds, and then switch on by it self without any reason!
    Knowing that the same thing happens with my friends who have the same notebook .
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    I recognize this. Had the same issue with Fedora recently.
    It is most likely a Kernel bug.
    You can try the following:
    - when running Ubuntu, remove the external power (unplug the AC adapter from the PC)
    - shut down the unit.
    Does it stay off now?
    If yes, I am most certain that this is a kernel bug and is already solved upstream.
    If You use Ubuntu 13.04 I believe this is sorted out.
    BR Tom

  • Use ubuntu with FCP/Compressor for rendering

    Hi,
    I'm doing some research on video rendering farms. Right now I have Final Cut Express on a Mac Mini. It's good for what I do now (which isn't much), but I'm thinking of expanding my home office network to include another server running Ubuntu for various services (I'm primary a software/web developer). I was hoping I can use it to help render videos because let's face it, rendering on a Mac Mini takes forever.
    I've read up a bit on Compressor and Qmaster, and getting a bit confused. I haven't found much on Compressor, but it seems that Qmaster can use unix based systems. So I'm wondering if that means I can use Ubuntu and what I would need to install on Ubuntu to handle any of this. Any ideas? Is there other solutions that I did not see?
    This is mostly a hobby, so I don't really have a huge budget and I'm happy using Final Cut Express for now.

    Read this.
    No mention of Linux there. It does say,
    "A client computer can be any computer that has Compressor or Apple Qmaster installed and is on the same network (subnet) as the cluster controller."
