I ran into a bit of a problem when starting Xorg. It came up but I had
no mouse or keyboard input. There was also a problem finding
Xorg.0.log
to see what was happening. It is in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log.
That is documented in the Testing and Configuration section for
systemd.
I will change it so it is reflected in both books now that we are
using elogind.
I had not started dbus or elogind. After starting those, the xorg
input
still did not work. I then rebooted and the mouse and keyboard worked
fine. I think a logout and login may have been sufficient, but I'm not
sure. I'm not sure how to address this. It would only be a one-time
issue. Should we recommend a reboot before starting xorg for the first
time? logout/in?
That's usually when I reboot from chroot for the first time. I'm unsure yet
whether we can rid ourselves of mountcgroupfs and elogind bootscripts.
Start the dbus bootscript.
startx.
Works perfectly (intel video), and the log is in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.
Summary: for me, the bootscripts for mountcgroupfs and elogind are
not required, that matches what Pierre discovered the other week.
Cool! That's second confirmation. I won't comment on whether we should
rid ourselves of them this close to release. Sorry I wasn't able to get
back to it earlier.
Since there seems to be a problem for Bruce: did you build Xorg
before ever booting the new system ? (Apoligies if that is mentioned
upthread). I'm guessing that building the whole desktop in chroot
before the first boot might be a problem.
This would hold true for me as well. I build through Xorg in chroot,
then reboot and use a text mode browser to continue, and my results are
as yours.
Alternatively, the problem might be with non-kms video displays such
as nvidia.
I was thinking that since your last message. I got fixated on the
bootscripts and went off on a tangent that I simply couldn't let go of.
I do that sometimes, a lot actually. I've managed to put it aside, but
I'm still itching to get back to it (I didn't trap a couple of
unforeseen errors and it will require some minor refactoring to truly be
distro agnostic). That's why I like the long goals of the project. I
know I said I'd do this last week, but I'm going to acquire a lower
level nVidia card tomorrow and see if I fare the same as Bruce. I know
we are functional now, thanks to everyone's attention on this, and that
we can proceed now. I feel better about that, but I want to put these
lingering questions (Xorg log) to bed before release.
