X server won't start (Arch Linux installed on USB key)

Hi,
I installed Arch Linux on a USB key (see the original thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185441).
The problem is that X doesn't start on all machines.
When starting the system on a machine with NVIDIA GTX 560Ti graphics card:
- X doesn't start using startx or xinit and there are no log entries in /var/log/Xorg.*.log (as I haven't tried to start X).
- I'm getting the message "Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .. .. .. ..".
- Additionally: The "default terminals tty1/2/3/..." (which I'm using to start X) from have a poor resolution (I think 640x480 pixel).
When starting the system on a virtual machine or a machine with an ATI Radeon (mobile) graphics card:
- X starts and runs without any trouble the XFCE desktop environment.
- Additionally: The default terminals have a proper resolution (I think the maximal resolution of the display).
What happens if you uninstall nvidia and use nouveau?
I installed all video drivers recommended here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … eo_drivers
So I was using nouveau in the first place. I already tried to uninstall the open source driver (xf86-video-nouveau, nouveau-dri) to use the default driver (I think this is xf86-video-vesa) with no effect.
The poor tty resolution is to be expected if the closed-source nvidia drivers are installed, because they don't support KMS.
I have never tried to install the proprietary driver (and actually don't want to use the proprietary driver).
Also have you looked in /etc/X11 ?
Yes. I don't think that my configuration contains anything preventing X from starting using the NVIDIA graphics card (but I'm not sure what to look for).
I'm starting X using "startx" or "xinit -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt$XDG_VTNR". Here's my ~/.xinitrc:
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
exec startxfce4

I figured out where the problem comes from. It is actually the screen (which has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixel). When using a screen (with a smaller resolution) I'm getting a decent resolution in the terminal and - more imporant -  X starts and seems to use the Nouveau driver (which I have installed again). When plugging my normal screen again (while X is running) I'm able to use this screen with the maximum resolution without problems (so only starting with this screen does not work). Now I have a reference point to fix the problem.
The other thread might be interesting as well.

  • Is it suitable install Arch Linux on a USB key?

    I want to install Arch Linux on a USB  key following the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _a_USB_key
    But I now heard that Arch Linux will be very very slow than LiveUSB because of USB's bad I/O speed. Is it real?
    Forgive my poor English, thank you!

    Actually I spent some times to study USB, and I concluded out that it is relate with USB's performance, as example, USB 3.0 is better than USB 2.0, SLC is better than MLC.
    So the better performance of USB the more suitable to install Arch Linux. However, it will costs me much money to buy expensive USB:)

  • I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes (or I already have) and my server won't start

    I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes
    (or I already have) and my server won't start.
    <P>
    The steps are the same whether you have already upgraded or are about to.
    <P>
    Calendar Server 4.0 on the Windows NT platform can only support up to nine
    nodes on one server, while 3.51 supported up to 14. If you have a Calendar
    Server 3.51 with more than 9 nodes that you want to upgrade to Calendar Server
    4.0, Netscape recommends that you migrate the extra nodes to another Calendar
    Server 3.51 on another Windows NT system. To accomplish this:
    <OL>
    <LI>Install Calendar Server on another Windows NT machine and configure it to
    use the same directory server as your current Calendar Server.
    <LI>Stop and backup your current Calendar Server.
    <LI>Individually zip up the node directories you want to move to the new
    server. (drive:\unsers\unison\db\Nx
    where "x" is the number of the node you want to use.)
    <LI>Stop the new Calendar Server.
    <LI>Unzip the files into the new Calendar Server in the same place as they
    were on the old server.
    <LI>Edit the unison.ini
    file on the new server to add the nodes you have just migrated.
    <LI>Edit the unison.ini
    file on the old server to remove the nodes you have moved to the new server.
    <LI>Edit the nodes.ini
    file on the old server to remove the nodes you just moved and then add them
    with the new hostname. Keep in mind that you will only be able to modify the
    node network from the old host.
    <LI>Run unidbfix -export
    on both servers for all nodes.
    <LI>Edit the remotenodes.ini
    file on both servers to reflect your node topology.
    <LI>Run unidbfix -import
    to import the changes into the node databases.
    <LI>Run unidbfix -c,
    then -f,
    then -c
    again on both servers for all the nodes.
    <LI>If you don't get any errors, run uninode -test all
    to test if your nodes connections are set properly. If they are not, <B>do not</B>
    start either of the servers; instead, fix the errors and try again.
    <LI>Start both servers.
    <LI>Log in and check to see if you can see people on remote nodes.
    <LI>Notify the users on the moved nodes of their new calendar host.
    <LI>If you did this in preparation of an upgrade, you can now run the upgrade to
    4.0 since both servers contain fewer than 9 nodes.
    </OL>

    Use Disk Utility whihc is in the Utilities Folder.
    Select your Boot Disk on the left.
    Select Verify Permissions
    If any errors the do Reapir permissions.
    You might have to repeat the process.

    We installed some Windows Server Updates about 3 months ago (at the time, over 70 Windows updates were installed) but, this problem hasn't shown up until 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think a .Net Service Pack might have been part of the updates at that time. When we did the updates, Windows was shutdown and updates installed per the preferred option of Windows. But now when rebooting since that time, the server continually reccomends the install updates and shutdown option. Do we need to rollback the server to date prior those updates if possible?
    I have also uninstalled .Net Framework back to 2.0. Is 1.0 or 1.1 the max that will work with XI?
    Should I also try to uninstall all other Windows updates?
    Thanks in advance for any help, Ed

    My card is mobility radeon hd 5700, I'm running on x86_64 system. I'm using aticonfig generated xorg.conf. I will provide any other information if needed.
    I've tried:
    - to downgrade to catalyst 12.8 and xorg 1.12 (screen just freezes after trying to get to X, only poweroff button works (system catches the signal and shuts down softly - no errors in Xorg.0.log))
    - to use catalyst-total 13.1 / catalyst-generator 13.1 (Xorg.0.log says something about *not* compatible module - i can try it again and give you the whole log, it is probably another problem)
    - to use open-source drivers (poor performance, overheating)
    - to check nomodeset option (present at all kernel images in generated grub.cfg)
    Unfortunately, I could not find any similar issue solved in past few days...

    Downgrading kernel to 3.7.4 actually worked for catalyst 13.1. Anyone knows what could be wrong for linux 3.7.5?
    Edit: catalyst-test 13.2 beta works with linux 3.7.4.

  • Server won't start/Bad JVM?

    Running CFMX7.02. After noticing that the Java version was
    1.4 something (the version originally supplied with the product in
    2006), and that I couldn't do things like use the "browse server"
    controls in CFAdministrator without getting Java errors, I
    repointed the CF engine to use the version supplied by Java on
    their website today. Now the server won't start.
    From the CF error log:
    Error: no `server' JVM at `C:\Program
    Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\server\jvm.dll'.
    Windows event log is no help, reporting that is has received
    "server-specific error code 2". Based on the advice of some earlier
    topic, I tried to restart the service with "interact with the
    Desktop" checked, but no DOS window there.
    Any ideas? I'd be happy to point CF back to its own version
    of Java, if I could do so without interacting with the
    Administrator (which requires starting the server).

    quote:

    version of the JVM
    3. You change change the JVM version by editing the

    Got it--and thanks for the extremely quick reply.
    However, what can I do to fix the Java errors that keep me
    from using the GUI file-browsing components in the CFAdministrator,
    since I can't upgrade the main Java engine?

  • Messaging Server won't start up, or acts strangely

    One of the config files has disappeared, or the Messaging Server
    is acting "strangely".
    <P>
    Because of bugs in the Berkeley DB code, it is possible for a configuration
    file to become corrupted. The Messaging Server will remove a severly
    corrupted config file, but there is a threshold of corruption that may
    impact server operation and may not cause files to be deleted.
    <P>
    If you notice that one of the config files is gone (your server won't start),
    or that your server is acting strangely, DO NOT REPLACE IT WITH A BACKUP COPY.
    This will most likely re-introduce the corruption. Instead, make note of
    all the configuration changes you've made with the Messaging Server admin gui.
    The easiest way to do this is to print out each page. Then replace the
    config file with a clean one from the install directory or from the media.
    <P>
    Before re-starting the server, check each admin gui page to make sure it
    matches your printout, and make any necessary changes. Then start the server.
    <P>
    The installed configuration files are located in the message spool area,
    by default: /var/spool/postoffice/config and they are:<BR>
    <P>
    Account-Handler<BR>
    Account-Manager<BR>

    Un-configured copies of all these files may be found under the directory
    you installed the server at:
    <P>
    /install/server/data<BR>
    <P>
    The fresh files will all have a .install appended to them.

    Shut the computer dow, remove the power cord and all peripherals, wait for 30 seconds, replace the power cod and press the start button at the same time.

  • Logitech Media Server won't start

    Hi,
    Logitech Media Server won’t start after I clean installed 10.10.1 and migrated my user data from time machine. I tried tuned of firewall and clean install LMS many times and tried different version of LMS from 7.7.4 to 7.9 but none of them worked.
    I builded a new user account for testing, LMS works well in this new user account.
    Is there anything I can do to fix my old user account?
    Thank you.

    Thank you very much! I did not know about the nightly builds. LMS has pretty much worked throughout the years; it may have needed an update now and then but I never had to go looking for beta versions.
    I held off upgrading my Mac Pro -- which acts as a server for iTunes and other things around the house -- to Yosemite until today. All was well except for getting LMS to start. I was pretty bummed at the prospect of not having my tunes on my Squeezebox radio. In any case, I'm glad I found my answer in 5 seconds here at the Apple forums. Rock on.

  • After Setting Up SSO Managed Server Won't Start

    I am using the Oracle supplied white paper to set up SSO using Active Directory. Following those instructions everything was working and testing correctly until I added the NegotiateIdentityAsserter provider to the list of WLS providers. Now the managed server won't start. The admin server starts without any errors and goes to the RUNNING state. But the Start BI Services command window gets to the wls.alive: prompt and hangs. And hangs. Eventually the window goes away and it may throw an error but I've never seen it. You can login to the WLS console and EM without a problem. Remove the new provider and everything comes up normally. I have looked at the krb5.ini and krb5login.conf files and even rewritten them from scratch without any change in behavior.
    While looking for answers I ran into the SPNEGOCheck webapp that Oracle makes available to diagnose problems. It says everything is OK until it parses the krb5login.conf and then complains that the Username associated with SPN in AD is blank and so doesn't match the SPN specified in the krblogin config. But I can't see anything wrong in the files themselves.

  • Wrong JRE Runtime Lib Path on Win2K--Admin Server Won't Start

    Running Sun One Web Server 6.0 SP6 on a Windows 2000 server, I inadvertently entered a typo in the iPlanet Administration Server's Global Settings, "Configure JRE/JDK Paths" link.
    In the "JRE Runtime Lib Path" field I typed "jjk1.3.1_03" instead of "jdk1.3.1_03". Now the Sun One web server won't start, so I can't go into the Administrative Server to fix the Jre Runtime Lib Path. I havent' been able to find any file where I can change that erroneous setting either. Is it a Registry entry?
    I also tried adding the correct JRE Runtime Lib Path at the end of the Windows PATH environment variable on the server, but that didn't help.

    Yes we checked the Registry settings and fixed the typo in the path associated with the key NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH. That should have fixed the problem, but the Sun One web server still wouldn't start.
    Moved to plan B and removed then reinstalled the Sun One web server. Now it starts and all is well.
    Thanks for helping everyone. This also raised the issue for us of whether or not we are entitled to individual support from Sun since we paid for the Sun One web server. According to the web site, the answer is NO - unless we pay $3,000 for a support contract. Other vendors who recommended using Sun One with their products say YES. We're still tracking that down.

    As you have backup you can try this:
    Restore your master database backup to another instance of SQL Server and in the "To
    database:" section of the Restore Database dialog box, use an alternate database name such as "recover_master" to avoid conflict with the master database on this instance of SQL Server. This will cause the mdf/ldf to be named "recover_master.mdf"
    and "recover_master_1.ldf". Then detach the
    recover_master database, go into the file system, copy the recover_master.mdf and recover_master_1.ldf to the instance of SQL Server with the corrupt master database. Delete the corrupt master.mdf and mastlog.ldf files, rename recover_master.mdf to master.mdf,
    and rename recover_master_1.ldf to mastlog.ldf. Now you're ready to try starting the SQL Server service again!

    This is my first time installing arch linux, I followed the beginners install guide word for word. However, after the install, my computer gets stuck before the BIOS. It identifies the RAM, GPU, and harddrive (all Diagnostic lights are ok on my MOBO). Before the install it booted fine, but now when I boot it up it wont go to the BIOS screen no matter how many times I press delete. However, when I remove the harddrive it boots to the arch linux install screen on my USB drive perfectly.
    I know it is not my hardware because I did many different tests (mem-test, swapped out harddrives, tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots, etc). More importantly, my harddrive is brand new so I know it isn't dead because I could partition it when I was installing arch linux.
    Computer specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
    DFI LANPARTY nf4-d
    ATI Radeon x800
    2 GB DDR RAM
    160 GB SSD
    I have no idea what the problem is, I must have screwed something up with the bootloader or something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Try clearing the CMOS settings either by removing the motherboard battery for some minutes or by using the relevant jumper on the motherboard. Check the manual of your motherboard for details.

  • Weblogic Administrator Server won't start after a fresh WCC install

    Hi guys, i followed this [install documentation|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e14538/qiecm.htm#sthref8] to install wls and WCC on a OEL6 (64bit), all went relatively smoothly. Then when I get ready to start weblogic admin server for the first time, it errors out on me.
    system:
    -Oracle Enterprise Linux6 (64bit)
    -WebLogic Server 12.1.1
    -Webcenter Content 11g
    -Oracle DB 11g
    basic steps I've took:
    1) RCU installed UCM, URM, IPM, and IBR schemas into 11g DB
    2) installed wls, created a basic domain (base_domain) with Admin Server as a place holder
    3) installed WCC, create new domain (wcc_domain) with Admin Server
    4) start wls Admin Server: $WCC_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startWebLogic.sh
    5) error.......

    steps I've took to tackle this problem:
    1) removed $WCC_DOMAIN/security folder, then re-enter username/password
    <result> can't find SerializedSystemIni.dat file
    2) create a boot.properties file in folder
    <result> same keystore error as above
    3) re-generate a new SerializedSystemIni.dat file [described here|http://www.wikiconsole.com/wiki/?p=3041]
    <result> same keystore error as above
    4) tried modify cwallet.sso [described here|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2266436]
    <result> can't modify, content in sso file is encrtyped
    5) review message with debug option enabled
    <result> it said error from LDAP [described here|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/core.1111/e10043/aptrouble.htm] but I don't have LDAP enabled/installed
    6) create a key store based on WCC install doc (IRM section)
    <result> same keystore error as above
    none of the steps above work, only option left I can think of, is maybe install it with wls 10.3 (seems like that's what the installation doc used). I honestly hope it could be as simple as that, but if I'm missing anything critical, please let me know.
    Thank you
    p.s: please feel free to ask me to post the long lengthy debug output

    Hi ,
    First and foremost I am not sure why you have used WLS 12c to be installed for WCC environment . That is currently a non-supported configuration .
    Secondly you are starting the admin server from <domain_home>/bin ? If yes , then go up the directory and start it from <domain_home> itself .
    Check if that works .
    Thanks,
    Srinath
