[arch-general] no x with new xorg-server and nvidia
Hi folks, right now, I updated my machine and X won't start! The new kernel, new xorg-server and nvidia-*. nvidia 169.09-2 nvidia-utils 169.09-1 xorg-server 1.4.0.90-6 kernel26 2.6.24.1-2 I updated normally but X won't start. All I get is a blank screen. I can't change back to ttys. The only thing that's working is CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot my machine. I tried a few thing.. pacman -Rd xorg-server nvidia nvidia-utils and installing them again pacman -S xorg-server pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils everytime the symlink to libwfb.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules is symlinked to the "real" libwfb. Having nvidia-* installed, it symlinks to libnvidia-wfb.so.169.09. If nvidia is not installed, it symlinks to libwfb.so.1.4 Any ideas? I can't get any output of the starting X-Server, because I can't switch back to the tty. Thanks in advance. -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version

Are you sure the nvidia* packages installed correctly? When I installed them both a few hours ago, one of them gave me some problems because of a simlink already there. I deleted the simlink and everything went fine after that. regards, Driadan

I deleted the simlink and everything went fine after that. Yes, I had this problem too - but I fixed it with a complete clean "reinstall" of xorg-server and nvidia*. Now the libwfb.so points to the libnvidia-wfb.....
Downgrading the kernel26 to use the old nvidia is no option anymore -- too much new libs (madwifi kqemu and and) depend on the new one.. And I don't want to punch my system too hard. -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version
I tried to install the old nvidia packages - but it seems, that they are bound to kernel 2.6.23.. -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version
Hello, in the forums there's someone with the same problem. I posted in this thread, too. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=329213#p329213 Perhaps you want to take a look at it.. Xorg.0.log tells, that X crashes. (II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE (II) Initializing built-in extension XEVIE (II) Initializing extension GLX Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x6a) [0x477e7a] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2aec3b22e120] 2: /usr/lib64/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 [0x2aec3cfb065e] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.

My problem is solved. brebs (in the forum) gave me the hint, that something is wrong, because I had files in /usr/lib64. Deleting them and reinstalling nvidia* - and X is up again. What did I learn? Don't mess your system with packages AND installers! http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=329217#p329217 -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version
