Keyboard inactive when log in GUI, but active on Console, any command line ??
Hi there !
First, thanks to all who share their solutions. As a newbie, I will share first this problem (!)
After trying to change the keyboard language (Msi Wind 100+, SUSE 10.0) with Yast, reboot and now, the keyboard is inactive when log in GUI (so I cannot log in), but with CTRL + ALT + F2, the keyboard is active on Console. Do you know a command line to "wake up" the keyboard for log in into GUI ??
Please be very explicit, because I am not familiar at all with command line.
Hi Raju ,
In Shell, I log in as root user, type startx. Then this lines appear :
xauth : creating new authority file/root/.serverauth.3229
Fatal server error :
Server is already active for display 0
Il this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
Please consult the X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help.
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit : unable to connect to X server
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit : No such process (errno 3) : Server error.
then it keeps writing theses successive lines every minute.....
rt_ioctl_giwscan.16(16)BSS returned, data length = 1528
rt_ioctl_giwscan.11(11)BSS returned, data length = 1065
rt_ioctl_giwscan.7(7)BSS returned, data length = 732
rt_ioctl_giwscan.15(15)BSS returned, data length = 1530
ok.
I follow the steps and
sudo yast2 --install x11-input-synaptics
download ok.
but, Yast is looking to access installation media (CD), but cannot because I do not have cd reader.
after going into Vi editor
- press "i" to insert .
- press "esc" after modifying the data , then your cursor goes to end of the page
- type ":wq" to save.
sorry, it seems that each step has a "stone" for me ... thanks for your patience.
Is there any other CLI, more "deadly", that could still save me from a "Restore factory Settings" that erase all data ...?
On another forum, a user suggests to look at logs for Xorg :
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Then I get many worrying messages:
about 20 lines mention :
(WW) The directory "/usr//X11R6/lib/X11/fonts ... does not exists. Entry deleted from the path.
Further in the list;
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module rfbkeyb
(II) UnloadModule : "rfbkeyb"
(EE) Failed to load module : "rfbkeyb" (module does not exist, 0)
Should I reinstalled directories for Xorg ??
I only have factory version of openSuSe 10.0, no cd reader, but I can connect to Internet.
