Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - DaVu - 2012-07-06 Hi there.... I´ve installed the "new" XBMCbuntu 12.04 with AE" from another thread. After reading, that it´s better to use an older NVidia driver I got managed to install a 290.10 version. But...and thats the problem. To get this to work, I had to stop my X-Server. Code: lightdm stop Then I startet to run the file: "NVidia-driver-file-however.run" Everything works fine and now I´ve got the 290.10 driver version. I allowed the installer to change my xorg.conf...maybe thats important for you to help me. Now, if I want to start my X-server: Code: lightdm start I won´t get the desktop. It stays in "terminal-look" and presents the screen that you get if you press ESC while booting. How do I get back to the desktop? Copying and removing my xorg.conf from /etc/X11 to another directory hasn´t helped. Need some help please Greetings David RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - DaVu - 2012-07-06 If I try to start XBMC from the console I get the error: "cannot connect to X-Server" RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - pumkinut - 2012-07-06 Check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. That's X's log that it recreates every time X is run. It might be failing to start, and the log would have why. RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - Aenima99x - 2012-07-07 When you reboot, does it just stay at a terminal? What errors are on-screen? RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - pumkinut - 2012-07-07 I had a similar problem, there were no errors on-screen. I just got the boot messages like the OP. It wasn't until I ssh'd in and looked at the X log that I saw there X was reporting an error in one of the stanzas that was causing it to fail. RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - DaVu - 2012-07-07 Here we go... Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/9aYnSD2J RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - DaVu - 2012-07-07 @Aenima: Yes and no... It stays in text-look, but not direct in a terminal. To get a terminal I had to press STRG+ALT+F1 I found something that might help you to help me. It looks like the lightdm manager stops at booting. Look at this screensshot. This is how the booting ends: Screenshot Maybe that info will help to... If I try to start XMBC by typiing "XBMC" in a terminal, I got this messages/errors Screeshot 2 Thank you for helping me David RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - joeblack2k - 2012-07-07 Uninstall the old/new nvidia first it cannot load because 2 drivers are fighting sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current or sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* then re-run the install sudo sh ./nvidia****.sh RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - DaVu - 2012-07-07 ok thx I´ll give this a try at the evening or tomorrow morning RE: Lightdm stop...lightdm start no GUI/Desktop - DaVu - 2012-07-08 @Joeblack2k: Thank you very much. It didn't work promptly as you said, but after a fresh install of the "XBMCbuntu 12.04 with AE" and then following your steps it works. But I had to set the nouveau driver to the blacklist.conf because this driver is incompatible with the NVidia driver and because of that the installer won't start. Now I have the 290.10 NVIDIA-Driver installed Thanks all for helping. Greetings David |
