XWindows Fatal Error on Linux 5 beta

[kranzel]

Hi Again all,

The problem mentioned in my other thread is now resolved. I ahve installe the new beta but when the system boots after the install, when it should go to the sage tv setup xwindows crashes. The last few lines of the error are

(EE) No Devices Detected

Fatal Server Error:
no screens found

X10: fatal error IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I am assuming that my video display is not setup prolery. However I cannot seem to find the config file for xwindows in the gentto/sage system.

I am using a built in grpahics card as thsi sytem is meant to be a server only. I noticed during the isntall it isntalled the Nvidia drivers which I know are wrong. Can someone give me a hand or at worst point out where the config file for xwindows is on this system?

If you need more info from the log let me know. I would be happy to provide it.

Thanks.

You'll need to modify the xorg.conf in /etc/X11. If you don't need to see the screen on this server you could also choose to not run X and simply run the server only.

Thanks again for the reply. I'll just add you to my payroll so I can contact you directly in the future.

given yoru above statemtn I ahve a few question then. The server I am running has two dual tunner cards in it. My goal is to make a central server with thsi box and use either Hauppauge boxes thorugh out my house and one or two custom designed PC's runnign the sage client as htpc's. I want them all to connect to the central server and be able to schedule recordings watch recorded tv/live tv ect.

Can thsi bedone by simply running the server without a gui? If so then all I need is the server mode.

Assuming that I can get away with just server and no gui. When I currently boot the system it tries to load xwindows and fails. I hit cntrl+c to exit to the command prompt. Does thsi mean that the server is functional and should work fine without the gi?

Thanks again.

You will need to remove auto starting of X with :

rc-update del xdm

then you will need to start the /opt/sagetv/server/startsage script instead on boot.

You can try to do that with mingetty :

emerge mingetty

edit /etc/inittab (nano /etc/inittab)

replace c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
with c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin root tty1

then edit the file /root/.bash_profile and put the following in it:
if [ `tty` = "/dev/tty1" ] ; then
/opt/sagetv/server/startsage
fi
