[Cooker] X server breakdown

[Laurent Suchet]

Hi,

I have finally made a global update today...

No error message occurred during rpm install, but than after rebot non X
server:

# execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 2)
# -xinit = no such file or directory (errno 2)
# -xinit = no such process (errno 3)

Before rebooting I looked at /etc/X11 and /usr/share/X11 and it seemed
that the whole /etc/X11 stuff was copied in /usr/share/X11...

I read that a symlink should have been created, but it seems that it was
not here..

What should I do ??

Thanks

LS

This is a good solution for NVidia card but for ATI card with fglrx is
not sufficient.

When X try to start i receive this error
fglrx(0); === [swlDalHelperSetControllerConfigForRemap] === CWDDC
ControllerSetConfig failed: 6 - 0

For the ATI card i have disabled fglrx drivers and reinstalled
x11-font-alias package.

Now more or less work.

I uninstalled all fglrx stuff (even if my system was configured with free ati
driver), and I seinstalled and reinstalled x11-font-alias and finally I got X
again.

But even if I'm under xorg 1.4 I can't have direct automatic X server start. I
must do startx and then in the xterm window startgnome.

Is it the desired way for the moment or is it a bug ? (at start system complains
of lack of prefdm file in /etc/X11).

I had a keyboard bug and had to desinstall/reinstall the keyboard x11 data rpm
to restore a correct function.

thanks

  It is caused due to an unexpected behaviour (at least by me) when
upgrading several packages at once, but one of the changing directories
to symlinks, and rpm not noticing that, and removing files it just
installed, thinking they were "old" files.

  As Pixel said in another email, probably the easiest fix is to
run "urpmi --replacepkgs <package>".

  This command should ensure you have everything correct:

# for package in x11-server-common xinitrc x11-server-xorg x11-font-alias; do
    if [ x"`rpm -V $package`" != x ]; then
        urpmi --replacepkgs $package
    fi
done
