neutron Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi guys! I just tried to install kde 3.3 with xorg 6.8 (thac's urpmi repository) on a fresh installed mandrake 10 box (ofcourse I deselected xfree86 and kde). I had really bad luck with his kde 3.3 rpms (libkdecore4 couldn't instal b/c of a libjasper.so file or something like that. But xorg 6.8 DID install (I didn't understand some things like 'moving /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver to /etc/X11/xserver .... linking to /etc/X11/xserver). Then I decided to install kde 3.2. Everything went smooth, but now when I boot I get the usual bootsplash and then ..... the prompt When I do a mdkkdm or xdm nothing happens and a ' startx' has the following output: created .Xauthority file . Execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 2) xinit: server error When I shutdown I see the following messages: errno 3: network unreachable, unable to connect to xserver I've read several post of users who managed to configure xorg 6.8 correctly so I was wondering if those user can help me. Thnx in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Try running XFdrake (as root) and configure your X settings again. I think some old config files are causing problems. Or maybe you can rename /etc/X11 to /etc/X11.bak and see what it gives. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutron Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Thnx for your suggestions! Loading the correct settings through XFdrake didn't work for me ("failed to setup write-combining range"). I've renamed XF86Config-4 to xorg.conf and seems to make a difference, b/c 'startx' now gives another output: "failed to setup write-combining range" "no core keyboard found" Changing "driver" "keyboard" to "kbd" gives: "no driver kbd exist" :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutron Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Yeah! Typing this from within kde WITH xorg 6.8 The problem was that my xorg.conf was just empty.... By launching 'xorgconfig' I managed to get a working xorg.conf file. I've also several minor problems, I don't know for sure if this is the appropiate place to mention them (if not tell me plz). Biggest problem is: How can I keep my bookmarks.html from firefox in sync with the bookmarks.html on my windows partition? Symlinking them isn't going to work b/c bookmarks.html won't get updated. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 in your xorg check your keyboard driver. It was: Driver "Keyboard" now Driver "kbd" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutron Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 in your xorg check your keyboard driver. It was: Driver "Keyboard" now Driver "kbd" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know, but renaming xf86Config to xorg.conf and changing "keyboard" to "kbd" didn't work. That's why I created a new xorg.conf file with xorgconfig. Thnx anyway :D Btw, my scroll wheel doesn't work, mouse driver is "auto". Got to work on that.
