Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

Hi Reasons,
Your problem seems to appear atfer loading the libglx module:
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
Maybe you're having this issue described in nouveau's wiki: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau
9. Now start Xorg and run for cover. If you used the the nvidia blob before, the X server may possibly not start because NVIDIA overwrites the libglx.so which the X server provides with it's proprietary libglx.so. If that happens, install the X server package from your distribution again to resetore the original libglx.so and make a backup copy of it in case you install the blob again.

  • [WinXP] Safari 3.1 Crashes / Won't Start / Error Report

    When I try to start Safari 3.1 in Windows XP, it crashes right away.
    Safari Web Browser has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
    Well I decided to talk to Apple first. Safari 3.1 was successful on my mac, but won't start on my WinXP machine. Anyone have the same problem?
    It's not a VM, either.

    Try this:
    - Open a command shell. On Vista, do this as an administrator
    - cd \windows\fonts
    - dir /ah .*
    - If this returns files like "._marlett.ttf", this is what is likely causing your crash
    - del /ah .*
    I'm not saying this will fix all crashes, but I've seen this fix at least one crash on launch a user was experiencing.

  • Xorg won't start - gives Connection Refused error

    I'm trying to use Xorg, I have it configured with Xorg -configure and all that, but when dtlogin tries to start it reports these errors in it's logfile:

  • Itunes won't start, error 7, windows error 126.

    After updating my itunes a few weeks ago, it now won't load and I get the following error message;

    followed by this error messsge;

    I've tried numerous things including solutions posted in this forum but I can't fix it. I'm running windows 7 64bit btw. If anyone could please help that would be great, thank you.

    the program can't start because avfoundationcf.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this.
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

  • Xorg won't start after unsuccessfully trying to install bumblebee

    Before i tried to install bumblebee I was just running on the integrated intel graphics chip (intel  HD graphics 3000). During the installation of bumblebee, I first tried with the nouveu driver for the nvidia graphics card, but that resultet in an error when trying to run anything with optirun. Then i tried the proprietary nvidia drivers, but after a reboot the X server would not start.
    I have removed both nvidia drivers, nouveu drivers, bumblebee and set graphics to integrated in the bios again, but the problem persists. Here is my Xorg log file:

    I would try to reinstall Xorg, but for some reason i can't get internet access from the terminal neither wired nor wireless even though the wicd daemon is running as a systemd service.

    I had the same problem and it certainly solved all my issues.
    The thing is, it worked fine for me just using the intel driver. Now I have removed both nvidia and noveau drivers again, but it still dosen't work. Also graphics is set to integrated in BIOS.

  • Xorg won't start, synaptics and such are involved

    Hi guys
    After todays update and a reboot, I was screwed. Init step 5 is the last sign of life after the boot process, because than there are no ttys and on tt7 is just a rainbow of colors and nothing works. chrooting in the system of an Arch Live CD helped me starting the DE, but without startx nor xinit. slim the login manager is the one who helped me to enter again in the world of Xorg, but why is that so and how can I fix the issue mentioned above?!

    Only difference is, that xorg is unable to provide a X and slim seems to not carrying at all about the errors and starts it, but a first restriction that I noticed is that there is no xterm that is able to start. Some sort of log entry:
    xterm Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory

    xf86-input-synaptics ; xf86-input-evdev ; xf86-input-mouse ; xf86-input-keyboard have all been installed successfully. Before the update everything was working fine, I mean with input devices like TrackPoint (Vertcial & Horizontal), thanks to the 20-thinkpad.conf in xorg.conf.d
    Thanks for the upcoming help.

  • Xorg won't start after upgrading nvidia-utils

    Today I did a pacman -Syu , it wanted to upgrade nvidia-utils, I said yes and it told me it would remove nvidia package as it conflict with, so I let it remove nvidia pakage.
    Then Xorg didn't wanted to start. I reinstalled nvidia and received the following error:
    Error: API mismatch: The NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-8178, but this X module has the version 1.0-8762
    Please make sure kernel module and all Nvidia components have the same version
    Then I removed nvidia and nvidia-utils and reinstalled them, now I receive the following error when trying to start Xorg:
    Fatal: could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.16.18-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
    Failed to load nvidia kernel module!
    How do I fix this? I'm using my own compiled kernel version (2.6.16.18) and Xorg worked find before doing  pacman -Syu and updating nvidia-utils.

  • Grub doesn't detect Windows partition (UEFI)/ xorg won't start either

    Hey guys,
    1) Looking for some help here. I've installed Arch on to my desktop and I'm running into some issues with my dual boot (UEFI).
    When I went to create my Arch partitions I was running into some issues with cgdisk, but I was able to fix it and able to create a successful partition table. However, I don't think for some reason my windows installation had an EFI partiton. Which is odd, because I'm pretty sure it was setup with GPT & UEFI, which if I understand it correctly needs an EFI partition. Anyways I created my own efi partition and made a directory in /boot/efi for grub. I installed grub and it worked fine, detected Arch and everything. I followed the step to install os-prober first too. I think the error lies in the fact that I didn't mount the windows EFI, I created my own. Which again brings me back to: should I have had an EFI partition created by windows? I'd like to be able to get back to my windows system if possible, if I messed something up with the windows bootloader and it's not salvageable, it's not a huge deal.
    The table is the following
    sda1 ntfs system reserved (windows)
    sda2 ntfs (windows partition)
    sda3 ext4 (root partition)
    sda4 fat32 (efi boot partiton-not windows)
    sda5 ext5 (home partition)
    2) I'm also having issues get X started. I think it is a driver issue but I can't be sure. I have 2 nvidia GTX 660s in SLI. I installed xorg-server and then installed both nvidia and nvidia-304xx. But whenever I try to run startx I get the following error
    (EE) no screens found(EE)
    xinit: giving up
    this is with gnome installed and my .xinitrc file in my user directory.
    I check out the log file of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and get the following errors
    (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) no drivers available
    (EE) so screens found
    Not sure what I am missing here. I've tried reinstalling xorg and gnome and all the drivers I could think of that the error above listed. However it always throws the same error.
    Thanks for you time, if you need anything else I would be happy to provide it!

    FWIW: reFind doesn;t mind multiple GPTs. I can't speak for GRUB. But shouldn't you be able to boot into the setup (what used to be "BIOS") and see if there is a boot order there or something? If your firmware is similar to mine, you can set "boot options" and allow the machine to let you pick a boot device. Windows should show there if it's available.

  • Xorg won't start as an ordinary user !

    Hi,
    I have tried to start xorg from an ordinary user and it does not work ! I have run an "nvidia-xconfig" and I see the nvidia logo but then it crashes out ! What is surprising is that everything works perfectly as root !
    If anyone has an idea...
    ps : I precise that I added my ordinary user to the video group (usermod -aG video bapman)

    Hi and thank for the answers,
    Unfortunately I tried :
    chmod 1777 /tmp
    but it had no effect !
    I don't see any particular error from Xorg, or at least no more warnings as if I started as root (which works !). Here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log

  • Recurring iTunes problem; won't start/errors

    There is a recurring problem with iTunes version 7.7. It has also occurred on versions from 7.4 through 7.6. Upgrading to iTunes 7.7 results in a no-start for iTunes. No errors or messages. It shows up in processes. If all Apple software is removed and registries edited, then re-install results in iTunes not starting with error like "App failed to start because SCARDDLG.dll cound not be found". This is Smart Card service (which I dont' use but iTunes wants). If Smart Card services are installed/started, iTunes will still not start (but no fatal error msg. or any messages at all).
    I have removed/reinstalled several times. I have been through the MS methods for crypto services, edg.log rename, etc. It has still not helped. At this point I may have to resort to the same method when iTunes 7.4 gave this same problem. Get rid of all your APple software and re-install 7.3 from one of the retro software sites, i.e. oldapps.com. It also means you can forget about using your iPhone and many other newer Apple devices.
    I would have thought that since this problem has been around for at least 4 versions and many users won't buy Apple products like iPhones since they can't use them on systems that won't run Apple software, that maybe this would be motivation for Apple to fix the problem and/or publish a solution. BTW; I am running Trend Micro and yes, ports and web addresses are configured for proper access.

    There is a solution here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1661935

  • XPS L502X integrated webcam won't start, error message "Close the other video streaming applications to start video"

    Hello, i've been working with this issue for more than a week now. Have tried all the solutions on the net without any success.
    Windows 7 home premium x64 is installed on the machine.
    When trying to use any application using camera shows up a message, that webcam is used by another application. This pops up on Skype and Dell Webcamcentral. Ms Silverlight shows black screen, no message. The device is present under imaging devices in device manager. The driver installed is Microsoft 6/21/2006 ver. 6.1.7601.18208, status "device is working properly". Driver files: ksthunk.sys, usbvideo.sys and ctclsflt.sys after installing webcam central.
    Here is what i tried:
    1. Installing drivers from Dell.com in the correct order
    2. Uninstalling webcam driver and letting windows install the driver from windows update.
    3. Uninstalling windows driver and installing Quanta webcam driver before restart. Note, that in all 3 steps quanta driver never showed up in driver details in device manager.
    4. Uninstalled skype.
    4.Uninstalled all "usb root" in device manager, restarted, windows installed it's drivers, installed Dell_SX2210-Monitor_Webcam SW RC1.1_ R230103.
    5. Uninstalled Webcamcentral, downloaded and installed ver 6.1 Skype.
    6. Started windows in a clean boot state.
    7. Installed process observer. Webcam is used only by skype, but skype gives "camera used by another app" error message.
    8. Turned off laptop, removed ac power and battery, pressed power on button for 30 secs.
    9. Tried to update driver through device manager - driver is up to date.
    10. Reinstalled windows and installed chipset drivers + wireless drivers and let the windows update. Then installed all Dells drivers in the correct order.
    11. Restored to the point before windows update and installed Dell drivers in the correct order.
    12. Restored to the point after windows update again. Installed ms Silverlight, camera shows black screen. Room is light, tried a sheet of white paper close to the camera.
    13. Tried different skype versions again, uninstalled skype.
    14. Process observer shows that nothing uses webcam. Supportassist shows failure in webcam at all checkup stages. Supportassist suggests to turn of programs that might be using camera.
    15. Tried all the steps before windows reinstall.
    16. I gave up and ask for your help.
    Here is Supportassist diagnostics log:

    Iqb,
    Make a system restore point.
    Start, control panel, device manager, Go to the USB Controller section and click the + sign. Go to each USB Root Hub. right click on it, left click uninstall.
    Restart your computer. When you login, the new hardware wizard will reinstall everything. Please be patient, it could take up to 2 minutes.
    Try the webcam and see if it works.
    If no, then the webcam became detached from the motherboard, usually near the webcam

  • System won't start - Error 0xc000014c and System Repair fails to work.

    Hi,
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium x64 on my Dell Inspiron 1520 Notebook and I had to force shut down the computer yesterday because it was unresponsive (Programs wouldn't execute, shut-down didn't work). When I turned it back on I got an error screen:
    Windows Boot Manager
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the Problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. Choose your language settings, and click "Next."
    3. Click "Repair your computer."
    If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
    File: \Windows\system32\config\system
    Status: 0xc000014c
    Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.
    ENTER=Continue           ESC=Exit
    I inserted my Windows Installation disc and pressed ESC to restart, then pressed F12 and booted from the DVD-drive. I waited for the "Windows is loading files..." and "(c) Microsoft Corporation" loading bars, then clicked on "Next" at the language page and "Repair your computer" at the install Vista page. A loading box pops up "Searching for Windows installations..." and after a few minutes I can access the "System Recovery Options" box, which shows my OS. I select it and click "next", but an error message pops up saying:
    System Recovery Options
    This version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows.
    [OK]
    The other option at the bottom of "System Recovery Options" is "Load Drivers." If I click OK, I can see all the folders on the installation disc, and any Setup Information (*.inf) Files. I can also browse my whole drive, but I cannot open any files other than .inf. I can even navigate to my USB stick if I plug it in. I tried opening each of the .inf files that I found in "sources" which was where "Open" opened to but this happened for all of them:
    Add Drivers
    The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.
    [OK]
    My first question: is there an .inf file that I could download and access from the USB stick that would repair my system?
    I also wanted to do a system restore, and found instructions how to burn a Vista x64 recovery disc from a downloadable iso on the HowtoGeek.com (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/). I booted from my newly burned system recovery disc, and it went through the two loading screens, and then to a black screen with the cursor. I waited here for about 20 minutes and nothing seemed to be happening, so I gave up.
    My second question: How can I get the system recovery disc to work?
    My initial post was on HowtoGeek.com forums:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/startup-error-0xc000014c-cannot-repair-or-restore-my-system?replies=2#post-50643
    And I was referred here.
    Any advice is appreciated, in the mean time, I will keep trying the recovery disc to do a system restore. Maybe I just need to wait longer (Hours, days?)
    Sincerely,
    Daniel
    *EDIT
    I guess I will just reinstall Windows.

    Hi Daniel,
    The reason why the error message “This version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair” appears can be that your Windows installation is a RTM one while Server Pack 1 is installed on you system. Therefore, your disk version is lower than your system so that you cannot use this disk to enter WinRE.
    The recovery disk you created is a third-party tool which we are not familiar with. We cannot tell why it does not work on your computer. You need to contact the tool manufacturer for more information.
    Now the simplest way to resolve this issue is to restore the system to its factory settings. If you have important files on the computer, please unplug the drive and install it on another computer as a slave drive. Then you can access your data on that computer. After that, you can restore the system to its factory settings. If you would like to know how to restore the system to its factory settings, please contact Dell or look up your computer manual.
    Hope it helps.

  • [SOLVED] Xorg won't start - Intel Sandy Bridge graphics

    Did a fresh install of Arch on my laptop last night, looking to use the window manager i3 which I have installed but when i run "exec i3" it logs me out, indicating some sort of failure in the session. Tried "startx" and noticed that didn't work either.
    "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" shows me the following errors in the log:
    (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
    Extensively read the Intel and Xorg pages on the wiki and googled for an hour or two, tried to create some custom configurations for Xorg but nothing has worked so far.
    It appears to be some issue with the driver in combination with Xorg. I've tried updating, then uninstalling and reinstalling the packages (the three Xorg packages + Intel driver) and specifying what driver and acceleration mode Xorg should use (intel and sna). No luck so far.
    Anyone here who is having the same problem or know the solution?

    Well maybe I am asking the wrong question then, because I think that might be exactly whats happening. I think maybe my problem is simply related to the window manager, i3.
    Here's a link to my log anyways, if anyone wants to take a look and help me exclude Xorg from the list of potential causes:
    https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f85c2a1f2a0319198a09
    My original problem was that running "exec i3" gives me a blank screen followed by the login screen. I remember running "startx" at another installation I was troubleshooting and getting the very basic Xorg interface, but I dont have xterm or twm installed right now so thats probably why it's just shutting down when I run "startx".
