  1. A booting problem [solved]

    in Software

    Posted · Edited by Halone

    Thank you so much everybody, I am sorry but I was working pretty much those days so I had to put aside my problem. I tried everything you told me and I couldn't solve my problem. So I formated my HDD and installed mandriva alone, to avoid future problems of cohabitations with windows. Everything is fine now, I'll just try to get back my /home files I (luckily) backuped just before mandriva bugged. I wanted really to tell you all again a big thank you. You helped me a lot.

    For Gowator:

     

    Mais qu'entend-tu par "tu n'as pas de config pour 24 bits" ?

     

    Apparemment je n’est pas un écran comme tu dis puisque dans les lignes que j’ai copiée j’ai :

     

    Section "Screen"

    Identifier "screen1"

    Device "device1"

    Monitor "monitor1"

    DefaultColorDepth 24

     

    juste ?

    FOR GOWATOR:

     

    Gowator, j'ai essayer de faire "to test the server..." mais quand je le fait l'écran (pas l'ordinateur mais l'écran lui-même) me dit "Input not supported". Je comprend vraiment pas ce que ça signifie. Pourrais-tu une fois de plus m'éclairer de ta lanterne ?

     

    FOR IANW1974:

    In fact I can't access to mandriva graphically (so I can't do anything), this is my problem. So I won't be able to copy and paste anything and post it on this forum (no firefox in the console). What I 'm doing is that I 'm writing it on paper and going back to the windows XP side to copy it manually and post it.

     

    Does the "less" code work alone (I just have to do that) or do I have to write it after the "cat" code ?

     

    Thank you so much

     

    Merci Gowator, mais j'ai pas tout à fait compris ce qu'il fallait faire, que signifie faire une config de base avec xorg ? Et je ne comprend également pas tout à fait l'étape suivante où je doit modifier la config de base ?

     

    Désolé mais je suis vraiment perdu, j'ai de la peine avec la console

    Well I never had mandrake 9.2. I installed mandriva 2006 with the DVD for 32 bits processor. Maybe I made an error when I copied the message but I was quite careful not to rewrite it wrong. I 'll check it again. But I didn't do any kernel manipulation I just installed as the manual told me. How, do you think, did it come to that ? And how do you think I can fix my problem ? Again thank you for everything

     

    PS: Mandriva has been working perfectly for months.

    Thank you for your solution jboy. But it didn't work. And even when I tried to temporarily get into X with my normal session, it displayed a huge error message. Maybe it could help you if I gave you the exact way the booting happens:

    1. The first screen is the dell screen with a very quick progression bar -normal

    2. The second screen is where I can (graphically) choose between mandriva 2006, mandriva 2006 classic mode, mandriva 2006 failsafe mode and windows XP -normal

    3. The third screen deplays a progression bar with written on it (traduction from french, sorry if it is wrong) "starting system, click esc for detailed mode", the wallpaper is the same as the second screen (a penguin with mandriva linux written) -normal

    4. The fourth screen is a very quick and white screen with the nvidia logo (my graphic card is an nvidia) written on it which I never saw before - not normal

    5.Then the console (or at least I think it is the console) appears with a mandriva logo on the down right and it is written:

     

    Mandriva linux release 2006.0 (Official) for i586 kernel 2.6-12mdksmp on a dual processor i686/ttyt

    Kromlech login:_ (Kromlech is the name of my computer and I don't have a dual core processor)

     

    I can access to XFdrake and set the options as you told me but it didn't change anything. And when I try to put startx it display this huge error message:

    Hello,

     

    I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I did a procedure error or posted my quesion at the wrong place.

    I am using Mandriva linux 2006 on a dell dimension 8400 with a dual boot with windows XP and it has been working pretty well for 8 month. But for some reason I didn't use my computer on the XP side for 2 month. When I started to need windows again I noticed that it was completely bugging and full of virus. I cleaned it so it work perfectly again. But as I restarted my computer to go on the mandriva side, although it started normally ( mandriva starting screen normal ), when I arrived to the session login screen it was black, only leaving the command line to let me login. How can I make it normal again and access to mandriva, KDE and all my programms ? It is really a problem because I am manly working on mandriva and will start university soon. It would be really nice if you could help me.
