[arch-general] /usr/bin/X: No such file
Hi :) when I try to start xfce (as root, since I didn't add a user until now) I get "/usr/bin/startxfce4: Starting X server /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line1: /usr/bin/X: No such file or directory" I missed something when reading the Wiki. I'll read it again. Any hints are welcome. Cheers! Ralf PS: -----------------------------------------------------------------

/usr/bin/X should be symlink to /usr/bin/Xorg, At least that way it's in my system. On Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 11:37:30AM +0100, Ralf Mardorf wrote:

Hi :)
when I try to start xfce (as root, since I didn't add a user until now) I get
"/usr/bin/startxfce4: Starting X server /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line1: /usr/bin/X: No such file or directory"
I missed something when reading the Wiki. I'll read it again. Any hints are welcome.

So do you have /usr/bin/X? Create a user and try again.

Have you installed xorg?
pacman -Qo /usr/bin/X /usr/bin/X is owned by xorg-server 1.11.2-2

Oops :D thank you :), at least xorg.xinit already was installed, but the server and driver were not installed. Now X and GDM are running. Using the proprietary nvidia driver, regarding to X everything is ok now. GDM still needs some tweak, since I can't log in as root and GNOME already is listed, but currently only Xfce4 is installed. It's not important that root doesn't work, I don't need it. I only wanted to test it, but next thing I'll do is too add the user. I'll have a meal first ;). Ralf PS: Hm? IIUC it already should work for root.

why do i think you used nvidia installer instead of doing pacman -S nvidia ?
GDM still needs some tweak, since I can't log in as root and GNOME already is listed, but currently only Xfce4 is installed.
maybe you should start thinking about it. Is not working because is wrong to use root as your primary account, especially in graphics. If you really want, since is your system and I don't care what are you doing, check /etc/pam.d/gdm-password auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet

Hi :) dunno? I run pacman -S nvidia. Hm? * etc/ * etc/modprobe.d/ * etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf * lib/ * lib/modules/ * lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH/ * lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH/nvidia.ko.gz If I use self build kernels, how do I add the module, since the installer isn't in e.g. /usr/src?! Will the package install the module to all kernels? There still is an unused kernel ...
ls /media/archlinux/lib/modules/extra* /media/archlinux/lib/modules/extramodules-2.6.32-lts: version
ls /media/archlinux/usr/src
/media/archlinux/lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH: nvidia.ko.gz version ... and the package didn't build a module, so there might be a reason to download from NVIDIA?! linux-2.6.32.49-1-lts linux-3.1.4-1-ARCH
GDM still needs some tweak, since I can't log in as root and GNOME already is listed, but currently only Xfce4 is installed.

No, I don't need it, I just wonder that it doesn't work. Thanks, Ralf
PS: Dependencies are * linux>=3.1 * linux<3.2 * nvidia-utils=290.10 So I wonder if it would build a module if I should build some kernel-rt myself. Since current one is 3.0 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ I suspect I need to download from NVIDIA. *?* Ralf

AUR is your friend. nvidia-lts for kernel26-lts is in extra. nvidia-rt from aur nvidia-$yourcrappykerly from aur -- Ionuț
