X gone
Hello list, I was having some trouble running openGL in my Debian testing, 2.6.32-5-686 kernel version system. I have an NVIDIA card and ran the driver provided by nvidia-kernel-dkms. The problem was that when I ran glxinfo, I got: glxinfo: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv06gl so I decided to google a bit, ending up on an arch linux distribution link which suggested that a certain filesystem folder be deleted: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12771. This folder was /usr/lib/tls. After I -apparently wrongfully- deleted it, my 2.6.32-5-686 kernel gets stuck during loading of the X server, and once I see or skip through the error messages, I don't even get a shell to do some typing to. Luckily, I had a 2.6.32-3-686 kernel in my system, which, unfortunately, doesn't load X either. This particular kernel version, does, however, give me a shell, yet I have tried lots of things, such as reinstalling the 5-686 kernel ( I don't want to mess around with the 3-686 image and end up with an unusable installation), re-installing the xserver-xorg package, even removing nvidia-kernel-dkms and trying to install one of three NVIDIA installers I already had in my home folder: 190.53, 195.36.08, 256.35). However, trying to run every one of those installer scripts tells me that I do not have the appropriate source files for the kernel that I'm running (which, I would like to remind you, is currently 2.6.32-3-686). I tried installing the appropriate linux-headers package, however, there seems to not exist a linux-headers-2.6.32-3-686 package. I also reinstalled linux-source-2.6.32 and linux-source-2.6, yet the NVIDIA installers will still not run. Installing nvidia-kernel-source doesn't help either. So I'm stuck with a kernel I can not even run a shell from, and another older one which doesn't appear to be of much help to me. Anything I could do? Currently posting from my laptop. When I run startx, I get a bunch of errors, such as: Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 190.53, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 195.36.31. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. (EE) Dec 29 14:38:15 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIa kernel module. . . .

Fatar server error: no screens found. . . . xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Thanks for any help, as I'm not sure what to do here.

[SOLVED] Re: X gone
Dear list, I am really really sorry for wasting your time with such a lengthy message. Once I understood that I could actually load a shell with ctrl + alt + f1 from my newest kernel I was able to run the 256.35 NVIDIA installer (given that I had all linux-headers and linux-source packages for that kernerl installed) that I had and everything runs smootlhy now. Really sorry once again, Jason On Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 2:52 PM, Jason Filippou jason.filip...@gmail.com wrote: Hello list, I was having some trouble running openGL in my Debian testing, 2.6.32-5-686 kernel version system.

Re: X gone all goofy
First time this has happened in some time, but after a fairly minor apt-get dist-upgrade, X no longer seems to want to work. I have attached the full output of the command (I don't know whether it is relevant), but the tail end of it is as follows: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Odd ... I had the same problem late last week. I hadn't seen anyone else post about it so I did, asking for help. Got zero responses. Oh well, I figured it out in the meantime. Do this: apt-get remove xfonts-base apt-get install xfonts-base Good luck Hall
X gone all goofy
Hi all, First time this has happened in some time, but after a fairly minor apt-get dist-upgrade, X no longer seems to want to work. I have attached the full output of the command (I don't know whether it is relevant), but the tail end of it is as follows: Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). I did notice when I looked at the error output that the kernel is being reported as 2.2.18 ... I'm running 2.2.17! I guess that could cause problems, eh? Not sure why this discrepancy exists. Anyway, thanks to anyone who can shed light on this.

I think what has happened is that in the process of upgrading, several fonts were removed - you need to install the font packages for X as well. I'm pretty sure that's the problem. Try: apt-get install xfonts-base apt-get install xfonts-75dpi apt-get install xfonts-100dpi apt-get install xfonts-scalable If I missed any that someone else has noticed, please speak up. Good luck!
