configuring video

bowlby · Post by **bowlby** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 9:54 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to get minimyth (ram-minimyth-0.21.0-59) to run, but the boot-process halts. On the screen it says 'configuring video'. In the log-file it says:

Code: Select all

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Parse error on line 2 of section Files in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        "@NVIDIA_TRUE@" is not a valid keyword in this section.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error parsing the config file

Fatal server error:
no screens found
(WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
(WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor

My minimyth.conf looks like this:

my xorg.conf looks like below. Are those @codes supposed to be there?

Could you telnet in as user 'root' and run

Code: Select all

mm_service x start

Also, what hardware are you using? Specifically, what is the output of

lspci -mn

I'm using the VIA EPIA-SP 8000EG - 800MHz MiniITX board.

after mm_service x start Xorg.0.0.log gives me (this is not all of course but it's a bit long...):

I am at a loss.

I have the same hardware. I copied your minimyth.conf and booted with 0.21.0-29 and I do not have the problem of /etc/X11/xorg.conf failing to update.

How are you booting? I tried both RAM and NFS network booting and could not reproduce the problem.

How much memory does your system have?

What are you using for a remote control receiver?

What is the output of

Code: Select all

lsusb

Do you see anything suspicious in /var/log/messages?

bowlby · Post by **bowlby** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 4:25 pm

Eureka!
Your remark on the remote control got me thinking.

I had a cheap, small mini-keyboard attached to the box which was causing the troubles. I janked it out and am now booting minimyth!
Thanks for the quick replies !!!

Post by **Pablo** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 5:50 pm

I am glad you were able to track down and work around the problem.

However, out if idle curiosity, I wonder why the keyboard is causing the problem.

bowlby · Post by **bowlby** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:09 pm

Me too. Previously it worked (that is with a 2 year old version of minimyth).
I can do without until my subs get out of sync. If you want me to test something, say so.

Post by **Pablo** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:25 pm

Is it a USB keyboard? If so, then could you post the output of

Code: Select all

lsusb

Is there anything that looks suspicious in /var/log/messages?

Hi Pablo,

I have very similar symptoms. Once upgraded from v 58 to 59, boot hangs on 'configuring video' and when I execute mm_service x start, the Xorg logs stopes on the same message as above:

Code: Select all

(II) evaluating device (Mouse1)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE)
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

The only external device is MCE receiver:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0471:0815 Philips eHome Infrared Receiver
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I would appreciate your help

When you say you have similar symptoms, do you mean that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file still contains @NVIDIA_TRUE@?

Here is the beginning of the xorg.conf:

BTW, the hardware I am running is ASUS M2NPV-VM

I have the same hardware and I do not have the problem.

Could you post your minimyth.conf file?

I have sent it to you with the private message.

There should something that makes booting problematic. I have just managed to save xorg.conf from a working v.58 frontend. Fetching this file for rel. 59 does not help. I have checked: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is now the same as was for the working rel. 58. Still hangs on 'configuring video' ...

May be this could help: when starting X with mm_service x start, the last line of the Xorg.0.0.log is

Code: Select all

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

My other frontend PC (Intel ATOM 945) is working fine with the new release. Both of them use ram version, loaded through PXE.
