I'm attempting to bring up a new system. Processor is AMD Phenom 1055, |
| 2 |
running on a Sabertooth 990FX motherboard. Graphics card is an NVIDIA |
| 3 |
GEForce GTX550Ti. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
If I start X with twm, the xserver connection is made, and TWM comes up |
| 6 |
correctly with three Xterm windows. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I note that I get two errors reported, |
| 9 |
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load module "dri2" (Module does not exist, 0) |
| 10 |
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 62: xclock: command not found |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The first error is definitely on startup, but the latter could have |
| 13 |
appeared on exit. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I have a file 20-nvidia.conf in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory |
| 16 |
with the following information |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Section "Device" |
| 19 |
Identifier "Device0" |
| 20 |
Driver "nvidia" |
| 21 |
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" |
| 22 |
BoardName "GeForce GTX550 Ti" |
| 23 |
BusID "PCI:5:0:0" |
| 24 |
Screen 0 |
| 25 |
EndSection |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Section "Module" |
| 28 |
Disable "dri" |
| 29 |
Disable "dri2" |
| 30 |
Load "glx" |
| 31 |
EndSection |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If I add exec startkde to the top of the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file, |
| 34 |
then startx fails to start. I get the same dri2 error as above, but |
| 35 |
also get |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
startkde: Starting up... |
| 38 |
Connecting to deprecated signal |
| 39 |
QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) |
| 40 |
kded(13865): Communication Problem with "kded", it probably crashed. |
| 41 |
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did |
| 42 |
not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I verified using /etc/init.d/dbus status that the dbus service is |
| 45 |
running. Same for consolekit. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
/var/log/kdm.log shows one error, repeated for each startup attempt. |
| 48 |
KCrash: Appication 'kdmgreet' crashing.... |
| 49 |
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/drkonqi directly |
| 50 |
Server Terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. |
| 51 |

Any assistance gratefully received. |
