[arch-general] updating xorg packages and nvidia packages, now x doesn't start
I did a big update on my main arch machine and rebooted, I can't start X anymore. I saw that xorg-xinit and xorg-xauth as well as the nvidia packages were upgraded. Startx gives me a blank screen and switching to the first login (ctrl-alt-F1) shows a never ending "No Protocol Specified" message which finally fails with "xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused" and "Xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority" I checked my Xorg.0.log file and I see this message listed: (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select" (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI:
failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon (II) NVIDIA(0): may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X (II) NVIDIA(0): configuration option may not be set correctly. When the (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI event daemon is available, the NVIDIA X driver will (II) NVIDIA(0): try to use it to receive ACPI event notifications. For (II) NVIDIA(0): details, please see the "ConnectToAcpid" and (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X (II) NVIDIA(0): Config Options in the README
what could be the problem here?

what could be the problem here? The acpi error is most likely not fatale. First rm /home/user/.Xauthority, then run startx &> foobar.txt, and then put

Ok this is weird. I removed the ~/.Xauthority file and pointed startx to startup.txt and it just started up fine. wierd 2010/12/20 Øyvind Heggstad <mrelendig@har-ikkje.net>

Do you use testing? If yes, the nvidia drivers are not yet compatible with xserver from testing.

what are you talking about? xorg-server from testing is from 1.9 series, therefor supported. I suggest to look at nvnews forum and report it there. I saw that some models have that bug. -- Ionuț

Nevermind. I read "plans for Xorg/Mesa- closed drivers may break for some time in testing" in arch-dev-public and thought it's already there. Lukas
