Suse 9.1 screen goes black

[shEbE]

noobie here trying to install the first ever linux distro .

Problem is I can't find any reference to help and I've been searching for hours.

installed suse9.1professional (fine) .. rebooted as linux .. aqua screen (blue) .. saw a row of text ... got the login - logged in as root.

What to do at the command prompt?

I did find some reference to a startx (not very much tho)... Typed in startx .... my screen goes black and the light blinks off and on.

another brief post somewhere else reaveled to hit alt-control-f2 and go into yast to change monitor ..

this is where i'm stuck...

( ) Text mode only - no graphical desktop

(X) Graphical desktop environment selected
Card: SiS SiS 660 (sis)
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 4S [31-48kHz - 43-75Hz]
Resolutions: 1280x1024
Colour depth: 16 bit
3d acceleration: unavailable

cHange ... Reprobe

If i hit alt-H to change it the system just does nothing and looks like it *hangs*

please help. this has taken hours to get to this point... I can do a reinstall if i have to .. but ???

Monitor is actually Samsung 172X

btw: nothing on system (I killed windows xp) and am posting from another computer.. so REALLY want to get lniux up and running .

TIA

note: got a free suse professional 9.1 off a mag and as I want to build a linux fileserver for 20 windows computers (me/xp) [and prove to my boss it can be done without xp pro cap of 10 incoming - and knock off 3 xp servers and just have the one linux box running sharing files from one directory - for a newspaper]

[inhaler]

Try crt-alt-f2, sign in as root. Then enter at the prompt "init 3" without the quotes. sign in as root again and type "sax2" without qoutes. Reconfigure the monitor and graphics card. Hope this helps.

[shEbE]

thanks inhaler for your reply.

this is what I get ... Isn't something else supposed to load?
Its been 10 minutes now and its not going anywhere from the blinking cursor

linux:~ # sax2
SaX: initalising please wait......
Sax: startup
_ [blinking cursor]


any ideas anyone?

[laughingbuddha]

i'm having a similar problem with my own suse 9.1 (see thread). at what point during the boot sequence does your monitor goes blank? mine goes blank right when the kde frontend should be displayed. typing 'startx' at the command line causes a blank screen, and no amount of ctrl-alt-F2 brings me out of it. i know it isn't a hardware problem because i have a slax live cd that runs kde fine without any problems. so it must be a suse config problem, but so far no one's been able to help me. i don't really want to reinstall because it's time consuming, but i may have to because this process of manually fixing the problem is even more time consuming.

[ensane]

Maybe try the command as root, and without doing any sax2 stuff...

xf86config

this command will then walk you through some basic configuration of your I/O system. Try to keep it basic, but as close as possible to your actual hardware settings. Make sure you save it when it prompts, and then type either startx or sax2 (try both)..

Hope this helps!

[laughingbuddha]

hey thanks. i'll have to try that before i attempt reinstalling suse--i'd much rather go through a setup than reinstall, if possible. thanks buddy.

[ensane]

I am interested in knowing if that command helped?

[laughingbuddha]

i haven't tried it yet but i probly will tonight. i'll definitely let you know what happens. thanks brah.

I remember your original post.
As I mentioned then, I've had to work through this a number of times with Slack, and twice with SuSE 9.1, so I know it can be done.

Let me know what hasn't worked and I'll try to help you brainstorm.

Incidentally, Slack switched from X86Config to Xorg, and I have had fewer problems since...

Anyway, let's figure this out!

[laughingbuddha]

psych-major, thanks for all the help and support! i'll be attempting all of the various suggestions tonight, tuesday 02/15/05, around 10 pm central, so if you're around during that time i'll be posting the results of my experiments. obviously i'd rather not reinstall...so here's hoping we get this xf86config/startx bug fixed. thanks.

[psych-major]

I'll be in class, will check the board if I get a break, otherwise will probably be tomorrow AM.

Some thing I might not have mentioned before, if you haven't already, see if your monitor has the acceptable refresh rate and sync modes printed on the label, or google the model number. These numbers will be handy as you can then just edit the x86Config.conf file directly.

It's weird that Slax senses it automagically and SuSE doesn't???

I wonder if it's the monitor, or the video card???

Anyway, goof luck and I'll check back!

[laughingbuddha]

psych-major, i have some good and not-so good news. first, it seems as if your xf86config command worked. i went through the setup and let it fill in default values wherever i wasn't sure of them myself or where i thought it would be best for default values. now i can get to the suse 9.1 login screen, but no matter if i try logging in as user or root, it thinks for a second, the screen goes blank, and then i am returned to the login screen! just when i thought we were on the verge of victory!

[psych-major]

Sounds like we have the video settings under control, now an issue with the X server itself.

Try changing your /etc/inittab file to have a default run-level of 3. This will boot to a text login.
login as a user
enter startx
Theoretically X will start, then fail.
then cd to /var/log and look for an XF86Config log file, mine is Xorg.0.log, but your should reference XF86Config.cat that file and see if you see anything jumping out for errors, or even post it for fellow JL masters to take a peek.

[laughingbuddha]

hmmm...not really sure how to do anything that you've suggested. i don't know how to edit the /ect/inittab file...i have already tried to do "echo 'kdm' > ~/.xinitrc" and then "startx", this did nothing. after i couldn't get past the login i did ctrl+alt+f2 to the console, tried startx from there. an error message, "server is already active for display 0", some other garbage. something about "invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key". when i try "kde" it gives me the same error messages about not having the $DISPLAY properly set, cannot connect to X server, etc. this sucks. i also cannot view the contents of XFree86.0.log, or any of its variants, either as root or as user.

[psych-major]

When you are at the graphic login screen, hit:
CTL+ALT+F6
This will get you to a totally text terminal.
Login as root
then:
cd /etc/var/log <enter>
ls -A <enter>
You should now have a list of files in the /etc/var/log directory.
If you see a log file that looks like it references XF86Config, then enter:
less filename.log <enter>
This will display the contents of the log file, and you can scroll back and forth thru it as needed.

Do you have a floppy or some other means of getting a text file out of the machine to post here?

[laughingbuddha]

unfortunately now i have to go to work, so i'll be posting here later the contents of my XFree86.log.0 in /var/log. is this what you want? i was able to figure out how to read it by using the "cat /var/log XFree86.log.0 | less" command (my friend told me to do this over the phone). i didn't notice anything glaringly wrong in the XFree86.log.0 file, but then again i really don't know much. thanks for your interest in helping! i'll be back later.

[psych-major]

-Presumably still logged in to text console...
-my comments abd instructions preceded by '-' stuff to type in the console are not

-Read inittab...
cd /etc <enter>
less inittab <enter> (displays contents of inittab)

-Now we'll edit (carefully!)
-vi has very basic, but powerful commends, I'll do my best to walk you through it...

cp inittab ~ <enter>
-makes a backup copy, just in case!

vi inittab <enter>
-you now have the file open and ready to edit.
-up & down arrows move up and down the file
escape returns to 'COMMAND' mode from any other you happen to be in and allows, coincidentally, commands to be entered
x deletes the character the cursor is on
dd deletes the whole line the cursor is on
i puts you in 'INPUT' MODE, where you can move the cursor around with the arrow keys and type in text.
-when done with input mode, hit ESCAPE to return to COMMAND mode.
-when all done, hit SHIFT+zz to save and exit.

Have fun at work, I actually have a Linux box in my office, to better feed my addiction!

Yes, XFree86.log.0 should be the one.

[psych-major]

and you have to re-install, you can always switch to Slackware!! :)

[laughingbuddha]

just a thought, but if i save the slax live cd config file to a floppy, and then try to boot suse from the floppy, will it read the config properly? i was thinking that maybe the proper settings would be on the floppy and that suse would recognize them.

it's just really weird that my suse config files got so messed up when i didn't do anything to them, at all. i hadn't edited them, i hadn't done anything (except perhaps update suse as it requires). probly i didn't reboot when after an update, and the power getting shut off messed up some config files.

[nikodell]

had the same issue but have nvidia card and it was an kernel update that did it to me so I just reinstalled the drivers from nvidia by ;
typing at options in grub :
init 3
login root
goto sax2 and setup the card and options.

thats what ihad to do but is normal with the kernel update as nvidia needs new drivers built to kernel

I would install nvidia drivers on my system
SuSE 9.1_64
asus A8V Delux

[laughingbuddha]

whoa whoa whoa! nikodell, i have an nvidia card too! it sounds like our problems are identical. do you think you could help me by walking through your solution a little more explicitly? i'm going to try to do your suggestions, but i really don't know what i'm doing.

also, i thought i'd post the contents of my XFree86.log.0 file, just in case you can see if anything in it is an obvious red flag:

So I assume messing with xf86config did not solve your problem? I assume that if thats the case, and you still can not figure your problem, before doing a reinstall, try repairing it using YAST. Just boot to the cd, act like your going to reinstall, and then when it asks what you want to do after that, pick the repair option.

[Hawaiian1]

Go to here for directions to solve the driver issue. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/nvidia-installer-HOWTO

Here is a little snippet of the problem

"When using the instructions above updating to Kernel 2.6.5-7.145
(available since 2005-02-03) via YOU will result in a Xserver hangup
after reboot. The problem is currently investigated."

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

You will also need to manually download NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run

Make sure you are in run level three when installing the driver. Just type a 3 in the boot options line from the grub menu ;)

Let us know how it goes.

I did a google on the issue. I type in "client 5 rejected from local host" In a google search. It returned a lot of solutions and people with your same problem.

Maybe try this, and see if it solves your problem...

type these commands as root..

1. useradd -m testuser
2. passwd testuser
(set a password)
3. init 3

you will now be in init 3, you want to log out of root, and log into testuser. Now type startx. This might work. If it does post back here and we can give more advice related to why this worked.

Another solution...

delete the following file in your home directories of the user you want to start the x server from...

.Xauthority
.ICEauthority

make sure you are in init 3 and type startx again from the user account you deleted these files.

[ensane]

So seriously before you reinstall or mess with anything else, do what I posted a second ago.. i now remember having a very similiar problem when i upgraded to SUSE 9.2 from 9.0 and the two things I had to do to get my xserver running was delete those files in root home directory for root, and create a new account for me to use.

[nikodell]

i will write the whole process step by step tonight you should download the drivers and have them avaible for the machine , so go to nvidia and get the latest.

[laughingbuddha]

whoa hey there, slow down ya'll i'm a complete n00b when it comes to this. all of this sounds somewhat confusing, but doable (with a little luck!). it'll have to wait until later tonight, but i'll give it a shot. so should i be logged in as root when i delete .Xauthority and .ICEauthority? what directory are they in? you said the "home directory of the user" i want to log in as. so, if i wanted to log in as root, is there a /root/home folder? what about user? damn, i'm a newb!

before i've deleted those two files, should i dl the necessary drivers? that is, after i've deleted those files? and do i want to have NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run installed before i delete anything? arghhhh! thatnks for the help everyone.

[Choozo]

How did things work out for shEbE (the original poster) after laughingbuddha hijacked this thread ?

[palsyboy]

You might as well be, as you'll have to be root for most of the other operations, such as making a test user.

what directory are they in?
They're in /home/laughingbuddha/

To remove them, just run

# rm /home/laughingbuddha/.Xauthority
# rm /home/laughingbuddha/.ICEauthority

However, you should probably try ensane's test user idea first.
so, if i wanted to log in as root, is there a /root/home folder? what about user?
The folder you speak of, root's home folder, is actually simply /root. It's kept outside of /home. That way, if something happens to /home, root can still do his business.

I believe in the meantime, though, that ensane wanted you to simply make a test user to try running startx or, at worst, delete laughingbuddha's relevant files (see above). Don't mess with root's.

before i've deleted those two files, should i dl the necessary drivers? that is, after i've deleted those files? and do i want to have NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run installed before i delete anything?
Download the drivers first. Then delete the files. Then install the nVidia package. At least I think that's what you need to do. Better wait for someone else's advice to confirm.

Roots home directory is /root, while logged in as root just type: cd

then delete the two files

as for creating a testuser just do those commands as I said earlier.. and log in as that testuser and try to start the xserver. Don't do anything else until you have done these simple things.. then maybe go on to what the other people said...

these two files will always be recreated if they are missing, but they are responsible for permissions in a way to allow you to connect to the xserver from your user account.

[laughingbuddha]

hey hey hey! the testuser plan worked! at least, i was able to create a testuser, switched to testuser, typed in startx, and voila! kde loads without problem and i'm here now typing this response to you via my beloved opera browser!

so. we've made it this far, my friends. what do i do now to restore my user's kde? do i delete the above mentioned files, download the appropriate nvidia drivers? i am at the behest of your benevolent advice.

thank you all!

[laughingbuddha]

okay i got impatient and went ahead with what i thought was the most logical next step. as testuser's kde works fine, i downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run and saved it to /home/testuser--the only place it let me save to. then i logged out and, at the console, switched to root. as root i deleted the nvidia drivers via "nvidia-installer --uninstall." then i cd to /home/testuser and ran "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run -q."

this went through the installation of the drivers and seemed to not have any problems (except for a warning box about the possibility of some module called 'rivafb' conflicting with the nvidia drivers). but verything seemed fine--the nvidia installer went through the process of building the kernal or compiling the drivers in the kernel or doing whatever it does.

next i tried to configure XFree86 with sax2 by running "sax2 -m 0=nvidia" and this seemed to work without problems. but when i su to user and typed "startx" i get the following error message:

Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID, removing from list!
/home/laughingbuddha/.xinitrc: line 1: kdm: command not found


so what does this mean? this is ridiculous! i tried "echo kdm > ~/.xinitrc" as user and then "startx", but that gave me the same error messages.

i also (as root) deleted the two files as was suggested:

# rm /home/laughingbuddha/.Xauthority
# rm /home/laughingbuddha/.ICEauthority

any thoughts?

[ensane]

well you didn't need to mess with those driver since creating a new user worked. All you would have needed to do was either delete those files under the other users accounts, or create new users using that command..

girlfriend yellinga t me, gotta go, I'll tackle your problem later..

[ensane]

ok now that I don't have a girlfriend yelling at me from the next room to hurry up, I can maybe figure this out.

You said from root you su to the user? Well maybe just try logging out of root and then logging into user and doing it from there? It could be a path variable thing when your still logged in as root? Maybe a reboot?

I read somewhere that maybe all you need to do is generate a new config file.. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

in your home directory.. whether it be root or your user delete your .xinitrc file.. a new one will generate just like the .Xauthority and the .ICEauthority file..

And this time if it works again, don't do anything else, just create new user account, and copy your files over to the new account ;)

Goodluck my friend!

[ensane]

I forgot to mention something about the nvidia drivers. For SuSE the Nvidia website reccomends you update the driver through YOU (Yast Online Update)... This will prevent any further problems. So if youcan get kde/xserver working again, and after you create the new user accounts, log in as root, run the xserver, and do a YOU. Then when it shows packages available, select All Installable Packages (or something like that), right click the Nvidia driver, and choose update. This will install a 3D rendering version of the Nvidia driver that works perfectly with SUSE.. then just restart the xserver and your good to go!

if you are just trying to get your desktop to work and 3d isn't a big deal do this...boot to run level 3, as root type the command "sax2 -m 0=nv" ....no quotes typed ok and that is a zero, not letter o. accept the configuration that comes up. type in "init 5"...if you get the desktop all is well, reboot.....done

[elleon30033]

ensane that is usually the case. but for some reason the yast nvidia driver won't load for me after a kernel update. it has to be manually downloaded from nvidia and installed by command line.....at least that has been my experience and i'm not happy about it one bit.....its a problem with the 2.6 xxxx-145 kernel and the driver according to what i'm reading.

i am perplexed on what to do next. i can log in and load kde successfully as testuser, but not as root or user. whenever i log in as user or root it goes through the loop problem like i described above, where the nvidia logo flashes, the screen goes blank, and then it returns me to the login screen. how do i fix this problem?

Did you delete .xinitrc in the /root directory? Also those other two files I mentioned? Try also this..

as root type these commands...
cd /etc/skel
cp *. /root/.

as laughingbuddha type
cd /etc/skel
cp *. /home/laughingbuddha/.

make sure to include those periods in each spot.. tell me if you can log into xserver then...

message me on yahoo messenger: ensane4heresy
if you want to dicuss step for step after trying these.. i am always willing to help

[laughingbuddha]

ensane, you've been a tremendous help these past weeks. my schedule is so busy i haven't had much time to tackle this issue--but it seems like we're close to the end, no? i did delete the other two files you suggested, but not the .xinitrc file. i'll try out these fixes when i can and message you with the results. thanks.

yes and I was just also thinking that I once had a similiar problem yet once again, and as root I just re ran sax2.. and just set my video driver as "nv"... so after deleting files, and copying those files from the skel to your home directories, then if those don;t work try that, but if it does work don't try it... since testuser can log in, the only way he is different than the root and your user account is the fact that he has a fresh new home directory that is basically just a copy of all the files in the /etc/skel directory, this is why I think that post where I had you copy those files might actually work..

oh if after you delete .xinitrc, and copy those files in the /etc/skel directory to your home directories, and you find an error stating .xinitrc is missing, then type this command inside of your home directory..

cp .xinitrc_template .xinitrc

this is the orginal template file for .xinitrc.. so it just creates a fresh new one...

your welcome also...

[laughingbuddha]

it really should come as no surprise that just as i was on the verge of victory over this kde/frontend/startx issue, my computer would completely fail. yes, that's right: now the damn thing won't even turn on. i came home to find the power had gone off again, and lo & behold: my computer won't turn on! i'm hoping it's just a power supply problem, and not something else. but until i get this hardware situation figured out, the above problems are a moot point. thanks for your help everyone. and sorry for stealing this post. peace.

Everything's fine now.

laughingbuddha and I finally reconciled schedules, so I went over to his house to work on things. We plugged my power supply into his motherboard, and the thing booted just fine. Time was an issue, mainly due, once again, to our incompatible schedules, so we had to buy things at a local store (Best Buy was, unfortunately, the best choice) rather than NewEgg. Either way, laughingbuddha got an overpriced but functional power supply. After he installed it, we went to work on KDE.

ensane's advice seemed good, so I ran:

# cd /root
# rm .Xauthority .ICEauthority .xinitrc

After that, root logged in just fine, so I ran the same thing for /home/laughingbudda, and our day was complete.

Thanks for the help, everyone.

:D:D:D:D:D:D sweet that made my day.. glad I could help

in recognition of your benevolent deeds and tireless assistance in the face of daunting odds and frantic, no0bish pleas for help, i bequeath to the venerable ensane and the esteemed palsyboy, my as-yet-to-be-conceived first born child, to be divided up in a manner agreed upon by your honors.

thanks for all the help and suggestions. i couldn't have done this without either of you. turns out the power supply conked out (just as i was about to make the final repairs to my broken suse) and needed to be replaced. the rest is history. thanks for all the help.

I actually gave up on Suse 9.1 and reinstalled windows xp and now trialling xandros.

I'm still going to give Suse a spin from home ...

Got another question -- When installing Suse 9.1 (got the full version cd here) -- is there any order that I need to install the linux programs in order to be presented with three boot options - ie: xp / suse / linux flavour automatically with no tweaking?

XP is already on the system and on a different hard drive.

Also if one has 200gig second hard drive free, what do you suggest on formating/partition to accommodate two distros?

i thought maybe
500mb - linux swap
10gig - resierf - suse?
10gig - resierf - any other flavour
40 gig - ext3 - suse home?
40 gig - ext 3 - any other flavour
99.5 gig - fat 32 (for all o/s to read and write

Thanks
shEbE.

shEbE: I suggest you start a new thread for this new Q, since laughingbuddha already made a real mess of your original thread. :(

Closing this one.
