Ubuntu minimal and Fluxbox problem.

zaqwe · 02-14-2008, 12:30 PM

So I installed Ubuntu with minimal settings. It installed fine and in console I installed fluxbox with this command :
"sudo aptitude install fluxbox xorg xdm"
Installed everything fine, but when I try to start X-server it gives this error:

Code:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports :
> Warning :	Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
>		Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
enable montype: 1
enable montype: 1

waiting for X server to shut down disable monotype: 1 
disable montype: 1
finished PLL2
finished PLL1
Entering Restore TV
Restore TV PLL
Restore TVHV
Restore TV Restarts
Restore Timing Tables
Restore TV standard
Leaving Restore TV
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be 
1; fixing.

That's all I can see. (I dont know how to go up in console

)

Do I have some missing parts of xorg or what is the problem?

Here is my xorg.conf :

Code:

# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

You can go up in the console with Shift+PageUp. Have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"? Did you try starting X with "startx"? You can also see if "sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start" works better.

Yes I started fluxbox with startx and that error comes up. Is there somewhere error log or something like that? Or do I have to write all of it down?
Xdm works, the Debian thing comes where I log, but when I input correct information it just flashes the fluxbox mouse and returns to login screen.

I tried reconfiguring xorg, but no difference. Still same error comes.
Doesn't it say something about fonts and montype?

Thank you.

Any ideas? :/

You can see the Xorg log with "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log". With "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE" only errors are shown. There are also other files that configure X on startup, such as xinitrc (at ~/.xinitrc or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) and /etc/X11/Xsession (which is actually a script run on X startup), but I don't know if fooling around with them will help you much. They may help you locate the problem, though.

Thanks. So here's the error log :

Code:

(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable.

zaqwe · 02-16-2008, 08:05 AM

I tried disabling AIGLX, but no difference.

Any ideas? :s

Hmm, so, if you start Xdm then X is running without problems? In that case it sounds like a fluxbox problem. You may want to check out Fluxbox documentation, maybe you can find something there. Or try out another WM (like Openbox for example) and see if that works better. All in all, it seems quite mysterious to me...
