First, I looked in the archives and didn't find anything relevant - could be |
| 2 |
my stupidity, but I did try! |

About 6 days ago, I updated my system and since then, I can't boot into X. |
| 5 |
My nvidia driver loads okay and it looks like it is going to start X, but |
| 6 |
then reverts to the command line. I've been sick and haven't really been |
| 7 |
able to follow this up. |

Also note that I can't provide any output because I am, obviously, not on my |
| 10 |
computer. Details are as follows: |

From my kdm log the last few lines are as follows: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0) |
| 15 |
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0) |
| 16 |
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdm_greet: error while loading shared libraries: |
| 17 |
libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |

I don't have a dri USE flag in my make.conf file |
| 20 |
The dri line in my xorg.conf file exists, but it is commented |
| 21 |
I do not build dri into my kernel |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Yesterday, I decided to try another update to see if there was an ebuild |
| 24 |
that might have corrected whatever the problem was |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
On attempting to upgrade gtk+, it fails and I get told to run: |
| 27 |
emerge --info =x11-libs/gtk+-2.18.9 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
When I do that, there is a USE line which includes dri and I'm not sure |
| 30 |
where that is being pulled from unless it is global because as stated |
| 31 |
previously, I don't have a dri USE flag in my make.conf or an active line in |
| 32 |
my xorg.conf file. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Regarding libpng - on my first upgrade 6 days ago, I removed libpng prior to |
| 35 |
doing the update because the updated libpng file was being blocked by the |
| 36 |
existing one. I don't know if this makes a difference. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Any advice on how to fix this? |
