after install some commands not found - cant configure X
 
i'm a linux newb and installing slackware 10.2 on a 533mhz pIII,128MB ram, 16GB IDE (5=root,11=local, 512 swap).

i have tried to install twice now, once 'for newbies' and now just selecting 'full' install option. I'm using the default kernel (as recommended by setup) but have the same problem both times.

everything seems to go along as the docs say except when i get to trying to configure X. In the slackware manual it says to run 'xorgconig' but i type that and get:

'-bash: xf86config: command not found'

so i look back to the very helpful "what i do thread" and see they recommend running xf86conifg, but again i get command not found. i did the slocate update and tried to find both but:
slocate xorgconfig (or xf86config)

goes back to

root@darkstar:/#

the only things i've noticed not listed in the slackware manual were some extra or just different setup options. also after using the 'full' option for install this time LILO does not show up at all.

thanks

maybe your install CD is corrupted. try to re-burn the disc or check your iso's md5 checksum. good luck!

bioe007 04-24-2006 12:11 PM

at the risk of sounding even dumber... how do i check the md5 checksum?

once i posted, some other ('similar threads') were shown at the bottom, something about the PATH not being set up correctly?

Under Windows, you can get MD5Summer and get it to generate the sums for the ISOs. You should be able to find a file containing the checksums on any Slackware mirror, so you can see if the ones you generated match.

I don't know to be honest, as any time I've installed Slack, the folders where the X stuff was were in the $PATH by default. What does "ls /var/log/packages | grep x11" show?

You don't have the X packages installed then, that's the problem. You'll need at least x11-<version>, not sure which others are required. It'd be wise to install x11-devel-<version> too, though. You can get the packages from http://slackware.it/en/pb and install them using installpkg, e.g.

# installpkg x11-6.8.2-i486-3.tgz.

Edit: you might want to install a desktop environment/window manager as well, as the one that comes with X.org (it's called TWM) is quite basic. If you want to install KDE, get the packages from the same site above and install them in the same way. You don't need all of those for KDE and kde.org has a list of which ones are required here.

bioe007 04-24-2006 01:02 PM

wasnt X supposed to be on the ISOs?

i d/led and put these onto a CD (from my windows machine, cause obviously i'm not doing so well with linux)

now i do:
# installpkg x11-6.8.2-i486-3.tgz
Cannot install x11-6.8.2-i486-3.tgz: package does not end in .tgz

so i tried leaving the .tgz off and it didnt help. also when i:

#ls mnt/cdrom
# (no directory - can linux not read my CD? or is there a driver problem with the CDROM?)

Nylex 04-25-2006 12:25 AM

Yeah, the X stuff is on the CDs, not sure why it didn't install though :/. Did you run installpkg from the directory in which the file is?

Also, you should be using "ls /mnt/cdrom", don't leave off that first /! If you did use the correct path, did you mount the CD before doing ls? If not, then you'd mount with something like

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom.

bioe007 04-26-2006 12:29 AM

you're a genius... thank you.

my X is now "working" (at least I think, startx is there now) but my KDE is not :(

i get a grey screen that says (in a white box near the top)

'Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.'

after closing this I get a bunch of errors on the black screen (bash?)

there were too many errors and the screen scrolled down, but there were 3 'directory doesnt exist' errors and some other 'library not found errors'

i'm loving this.

nutronix 04-26-2006 05:55 AM

ls /var/log/packages | grep x11 .... should be= ls /var/log/packages | grep X11
to be clear X not x gotta be weary of typos in linux !

And i do not know if the above (xorgconig) is a typo also....should be xorgconfig
good luck

It looks like KDE isn't installed. From the command line type:

Code:

$whereis KDE
If it returns just the init files and nothing else, KDE is not installed.

Bob

BobNutfield 04-26-2006 07:11 AM

Also try: locate kde

No, the lowercase x is correct as the package names begin with lowercase letters.

bioe007 04-26-2006 06:03 PM

just for the record,

# ls /var/log/packages | grep x11
x11-6.8.2-i486-3
x11-devel-6.8.2-i486-3
x11-misc-6.8.2-noarch-3
#

(it was the little x, big X returns nothing)

# $whereis kde
-bash: kde: command not found
# locate kde
(so much stuff the screen scrolls for a few seconds
the bottom of the list includes)
/root/.kde
/root/.kde/tmp-darkstar
/root/.kde/socket-darkstar
/root/.kde/cache-darkstar
#

btw - similar results found for these commands + gnome (i didnt know which one i'd prefer so i installed both gnome and kde)

sorry for the typos, id did run xorgconfig with no problems (after installing X)

thanks

drkstr 04-26-2006 08:48 PM

After you install the KDE packages (get all of them, not just the base package), you need to add 'startkde' to your /home/<username>/.xinitrc file. Should load up ok after that. Also, you might want to run 'xorgsetup' instead of xorgconfig. It usually autodetects all of the proper settings. You can then modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as you see fit. This is just a matter of preference though, if you got it working with 'xorgconfig' then that's cool too.

FYI, you can scroll up in the console by hitting shift+PgUp

i am currently installing all the packages found on slackware 10.2 #1 (/mnt/cdrom/slackware/kde/) and it seems to be working.

i am not so sure how to 'add' something to my /home/<username>/.xinitrc file???

thanks for the xorgsetup tip. (also thanks again for all the above tips) i did do the MD5checksum and there were only errors on ascii entries (so I assume the .isos are good?)

i am now figuring out how to find this stuff on my linux box and am just wondering why it didnt install itself during the setup process? is there something wrong with my machine, or the basic.i kernel ? i'm getting further but perhaps more confused.

i am really impressed (and grateful) for all the help everyone is offering, i really appreciate it.

Welcome to slackware. You will find to not expect anything less from the community of Slackware users.

Quote:

you can open it in a text editor and save it or:
Code:

echo startkde > /home/<username>/.xinitrc
This echos "startkde" but sends the output to a file instead of the screen.

I'm not sure why you didn't get all of the packages, it doesn't sound like you did a full install. Good thing you can always add them after the fact.

Nylex 04-27-2006 12:28 AM

Also, you should make a normal (i.e. non-root) user account, so you don't run as root all the time (especially in a graphical environment). You can do this with "adduser".

drkstr 04-27-2006 12:35 AM

Yes definitely. I assumed this was already done. Never run X as root. When I was referring to /home/<username>/, <username> is the username you will create with adduser.

bioe007 04-27-2006 10:49 AM

ahh.. well i have been trying to search for that because i saw it (and did it once before) but have forgotten (lost) where i wrote it down. now i know the command it'll be easier to find that again.

i kind of gave up on my last install and just tried it again. it all installed ok, i definitely am selecting 'full' install - but still X does not work on startup, but for different reasons. i ran xorgsetup and that didn't work, it says (after i run xorgsetup):

#startx
..bunch of stuff here...
(==) Using config file: "etc/X11/xorg.cong"
Parse error on line 49 of section Monitor in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
The HorizSync keyword must be followed by a list of numbers or ranges
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error parsing the config file

Fatal server error:
no screens found

..more stuff...

the thing that confuses me is i:

# vi /etc/X11/xorg.config
...
HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0
HorizSync 54.0 - 0.0
...

and there are two HorizSync(sp?) lines, on both 48 and 49. The thing is I dont actually have any documentation for this monitor and its not listed in that X monitor list. am i screwed? its an old monitor (circa 2000) but i still can't be sure of refresh rates & what not.

also realizing now i have no idea about the video card. see - i move forward and get more confused.

drkstr 04-27-2006 11:15 AM

NO, you shouldn't have to diffrent horiz syncs. Dit you format the drive when you reinstalled? It's a good idea to clean everything off when reinstalling to prevent conflicts. If you still get the same strage error after formating and reinstalling, or you did do a format when you reinstalled, try deleting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and run 'xorgsetup' again. or you can copy one of the other ones in the /etc/X11/ directory over it. Such as : 'cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf' then run 'xorgsetup'. If it still does not work, try to copy and paste the entire xorg.conf file here so we can see what needs to be changed.

...drkstr

bioe007 04-27-2006 01:35 PM

well, when i reinstall i just delete/replace all my hard drive partitions, then boot from the slackware CD, i thought I remembered seeing where it was formatting the partitions during installation.

anyways, i have a new problem. i went ahead and removed the extra HorizSync 50 - 0 line and saved the /home/perry/xorg.config file, then logged back in (not as root) and did startx, voila!

KDE opened a setup wizard.

everything was going good until all of the sudden (at the fast/slow processor selection screen) my monitor went mostly black, with three thin vertical lines (one near each border and one ~centered) ??

I tried to ctrl+alt+del but nothing happens, I still can see a mouse pointer and up the sides there is something like purple fringing (like on a digital camera).

ack.

bioe007 04-27-2006 01:55 PM

more news. after hitting the on/off interlock, i can start KDE as a user, but some things do not show up (i.e. the backgrounds/text for menus)

i see icons, (trash, home) on the 'desktop' but in what seems like a 'start menu' (sorry, i am an imported windows user) there are small icons, then blank space, and it seems i can see right through the menu to the desktop, but there is a border.

could this be the monitor settings in xorg.config? i'll try to find the specs for this monitor somewhere i guess.

thanks again.

bioe007 04-28-2006 12:46 AM

please help.. i am now desperate. i found some stuff about a program called superprobe? even found the man pages for it, but it does not seem to be on my system (not found by slocate, whereis, and not in /usr/X11R6/bin/ )

the person i got this stuff from does not have the documentation anymore, and i've no idea how to figure out the hardware otherwise.

drkstr 04-28-2006 01:31 AM

yikes, I've never seen an x setup so jacked up before. You sure do have some non linux friendly hardware. I guess we should start debugging the problem step by step. First thing though, do you have any other monitor you can test temporarily? If we know it's a problem with the monitor then we can at least narrow down what needs to be done. Also, I would like you to post your xorg.conf file so I can take a look at it.

regards,
...drkstr

bioe007 04-28-2006 02:20 AM

I don't have another monitor (my Win machine is a laptop) - sorry.

well, i could type it into this console, you see among other (aforementioned things) i have no internet access from my linux box (doesnt seem to recognize my internet card) so that would be quite a chore. i suppose i could burn it to a cd then cut & paste it forom this (windows) machine. <if i knew how to do that :) i will work on it.

i think i have figured out the hardware at least. the card is (i think) an NVidia geForce2 MX (32mb) card, and the monitor is a Tiny (LiteOn mfg) A177onsl. part of the prob here is the computer is a Tiny and so I can't exactly e-mail tech support. I tried taking the cover off to verify the HW but I really know little of what I'm looking at..

also i should say that while the xorg.config-vesa seems to work; but, if I use xorgsetup I get the missing text problem (and wierd loading screens for KDE) and if i use xorgconfig I get a beautiful KDE until I try anything - at which point the screen goes completely black and my machine no longer response to anything.

Cool, I'm glad it works now. Do you mind sharing what you did for anyone else that might have a similar problem? Also, I don't know if you did this, but you might want to set your default resolution. See the changes in bold:

  DefaultDepth 24  #assuming your hardware can support it, it probably can

bioe007 04-28-2006 10:07 AM

well for some reason whenever i set my own horiz/vert refresh rates in xorgconfig, they did not appear in the xorg.config it would be like:

VertRefresh (null)

so i did vi and changed those. also i dont think its a geforce becuase i810 generic works - still not sure how to verify this. is it working enough? also had to guess a few times at the video ram param in xorgconfig

also made the above changes (DefaultDepth & Modes) to a different xorg.confg (not the one above) doesnt seem to bother anything

drkstr 04-28-2006 01:35 PM

Cool beans. It's strange that running 'xorgsetup' did not autodetect all of the correct settings for you. I have the same device (i810) and It created the xorg.conf file perfectly. sync range and everything. All I had to do was add in the resolution I wanted. Well anyways, glad it's working for you now.

bioe007 04-28-2006 11:25 PM

yeah, i'm wondering if maybe i screwed up an install command or something. ?? i dunno. I now have it working i guess so my next project is figuring out where my CD-RW drive is..

finally got some books for this so that should help.

btw- this is more off topic but where/what exactly is the i810? Is it on a card? can I swap it out for something else?

how much memory do you tell xorgconfig the card has? I read somewhere it just shares system memory.

i810 is the driver for the intel onboard video adapter. You specify how much system memory it uses in the BIOS. For my bios I have the option for 1mb and 8mb. I have it set for 8 with the line 'VideoRam 8192' in my xorg.conf however this is not really necessary. This is usually only used with devices that had a problem being autodetected, the i810 not being one of them. I just put it in there for shits and giggles. You can't swap it for something else, but you can get another video card provided you have the room in your computer. FYI: NVIDIA cards work very well in linux if your in the market.

I can:

#mount /mnt/cdrom/

but that is my CD-ROM - I have also a CD-RW/DVD that is 'slaved' (i think thats the correct term) to the CD-ROM. I am not sure how to access that.

interestingly enough (and the reason for my delay in replying here) I have installed slackware on my laptop:

Dell Inspiron 8500, P4 2.4Ghz, 512MB, 30Gb IDE-HD, ATI Radeon 9000(32Mb), CD/DVD combo, WSXGA+

and I had the same problem with xorgsetup.. two lines for Horizsync except now the vertrefresh also seems wacky.

one other new problem, with the laptop i kind of raced through the windows install and didn't install all the dell drivers.. make a long story short windows crapped out during the driver installs and i had to re-install windows. which seems to have re-wrote my MBR and now LILO is gone! is there anyway to simply re-write LILO to MBR, without having to completely re-install slackware?

-should i be posting all these questions in different threads?

Here's what's really going on behind the scenes. Your cdrom get's mounted with a command like 'mount -d /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom'. A shortcut gets created by adding a line in the fstab and thus the command can be shortened to 'mount /mnt/cdrom' (note /dev/cdrom is a link created by Slackware to the actual device name of your cdrom). To mount your 2nd cd drive, you need to add a similar line in the fstab with the correct device. For instance, to allow non-root users to mount cdrom/cdrw, do 'mkdir /mnt/cdrw' then update the /etc/fstab with:
Code:

/dev/hdc      /mnt/cdrom    auto    noauto,users,ro        0  0
/dev/hdd      /mnt/cdrw    auto    noauto,users,ro        0  0

You can them mount the cdrw just like the cdrom with 'mount /mnt/cdrw'

Here's how the IDE devices get assigned in linux.

hda - Primary Master
hdb - Primary Slave
hdc - Secondary Master
hdd - Secondary Slave

If it's a hard disk, partitions go in order such as, hda1, hda2, ...etc.

Quote:

Boot into the setup with the slackware CD. Select partition that houses the root filesystem and then skip all of the formating/installing and go strait to the configuration. Redo the configuration and reboot when done.

O_o very odd. What version of X do you have on your CD? If your CD is slackware current, consider uninstalling all X packages and then downloading the latest version in the stable 10.2 slackware release. If you are using an older version of X, try downloading the newest version from slackware-current. (I know that's contradictory but when in doubt, try something different.) Otherwise you will have to fix it by hand by just playing with the settings until you get what you like.

Hope I was able to explain this stuff ok. Let me know if you have any other questions.

bioe007 05-16-2006 12:20 AM

hi again.. sorry for the delay. had a trip to sacramento.. just getting back to this now.

i got some settings by searching and finding others with dell laptops and used what they set for the rates. i have also read that the horiz/vert rates do not apply to LCDs - so i am only worried now that i might break something with these (arbitrary?) settings. otherwise i have KDE working on both desk and laptop.

my x version is: 6.8.1-i486

back to the desktop: this is what my /etc/fstab looked like:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto, users, ro 0 0

i changed it to:

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrw auto noauto,users,ro 0 0

but...
#ls /mnt
cdrom/ floppy/ hd/
#

after rebooting. i will continue to learn...

Nylex 05-16-2006 06:21 AM

You need to create the directory /mnt/cdrw yourself.

what nylex said. just make sure the directory is owned by the person you want to access it. I'm not sure if it matters to much since it's a CD but it wouldn't hurt.

bioe007 12-29-2006 01:21 AM

well, this thread has been dead for some time. mostly because I have been neglecting my linux 'learning' while doing other projects.

I would feel guilty posting a new thread with similar problems for the same box so here goes.

I have the same system with some cheap upgrades:

P3 550mHz, 392MB RAM, 2xIDE HD: 17GB (5g root,11g /usr/local, 600m swap) 80GB (40 home, 40 other), CDROM, CDRW

I am still working with slackware 10.2 because after d/ling the 3 new slackware 11.0 discs and trying 3 different burning programs my P3 box does not recognize the slackware boot (D1) CD. The Slack-11D1 disc DOES boot on my dell inspiron 8500.

*I have managed to get X and KDE working now, but occasionally it seems to 'hang' i.e. the mouse does not move and windows do not refresh for a couple of seconds.

*I can mount the CDROM, but only as root ? i have been looking for a way to make it available to all users.

*When copying CDs to the /home sometimes the copy operation gets stuck. (I am just copy/pasting them in KDE)

* I tried playing a .mov file and some program called Noatuo keeps playing it, like over and over again. I can't get it to stop. I close the window and it pops back up like 2mins later.

* I found in 'Running Linux' 5th ED. that there is supposed to be a /etc/skel/ that contains something like standard configuration files for /usr/local when adduser is called, but i can not find it (etc/skel)

* something i screwed up - I opened mozilla in KDE and when the firefox update showed up I downloaded the latest version and used:

#updatepkg mozilla%firefox-xxx

now i have neither mozilla or firefox in KDE (woops). There is a firefox directory. Can I fix this by just using:

#updatepkg firefox%mozilla-xxx

-where the mozilla package is from the slackware installation CD?

well, thanks in advance. I'm sorry for the long list but as always help is greatly appreciated!

Add the word "users" to the 4th column of the relevant line of your /etc/fstab (i.e. the one for your CD-ROM). From the mount man page:

users Allow every user to mount and unmount the file system. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line users,exec,dev,suid).

Nylex, thanks much! Its working..

btw- i did figure out the noauto thing...

new problem, same box.

i was feeling adventurous and so decided to build my own kernel. i got it to 'work' the first time through - however, now X seems to be screwed up. I CAN boot my old kernel and still run X but trying my 2.6.19test then startx produces KDE with missing 'words' and also missing various backgrounds for menus etc...

is there an 'easy' way to figure out what I have screwed up in compiling the kernel? it seems that all my other devices (HDs, CDs, Mouse) are working properly and dmesg gives only a couple of unexpected warnings.

I have tried to figure out what is going on from /var/log/Xorg.0.log but ?? what am I looking for?

I see that when I set 'VideoRam' to the value i find from lspic -v = 512 does not help...

i do not know what else to look at - besides xorg.conf?

all help greatly appreciated

Could you post your Xorg.0.log so we see what went wrong.

oops sent message twice

* extra notes*

I can startx if I use the xorg.conf-vesa file.

I tried to modify it such that I was using the i810 driver and 'VideoRam 8192' but still the same problem occurs.

I am suspicious that I did not set up agpgart properly?
- if I use the 2.4 kernel included with slack10.2 I see a dmesg line or two about agpgart allocating memory.

I am pretty sure that I did build agpgart into this kernel but I dont see the same lines from dmesg (as compared to the 2.4 kernel)

bioe007 01-04-2007 03:33 PM

update:

I recompiled the kernel with DRI support, double checked all the agpgart settings and fixed some other incorrect (i am a newb) things.

Now KDE will start in 1024x768, it looked beautiful, for like 30seconds, then it died. Screen went black and I could not escape with ctrl+alt+del or ctrl+esc.

I'm thinking now it is just something screwy in my xorg.conf?

Also when I did startx there was some soundcard error in a popup window (new problem).

pls any help??

You needed to do ctrl+alt+BkSpc or ctrl+alt+F6 (probably followed with a Ctrl+C).

You will probably need to lookup the horiz/vert sync rates for your monitor, either in the manual or online. I don't think the problem is with the video driver set up, otherwise X11 probably wouldn't start.

Assuming you configured your kernel with Alsa (as a module), and the appropriate sound card (also as a module), you will need to run the following commands as root to configure your sound device:

Code:

removepkg alsa-driver  #optional (I think). Get's rid of the Alsa driver for 2.4 kernel.
alsaconf
alsamixer
alsactl store

Best regards,

I am using values I looked up.

Also, thanks for the ALSA tips - I did do this with no errors, prior to running startx - so I do not think the 'no ALSA mixer settings' was the error.

I have just an Intel AC97 sound.

I was thinking perhaps with the VideoRam 8192 there was not enough memory for DRI/DRM? So I upped it to 64M - same result.

Is there a possibility that its something entirely unrelated to X11 that caused the problem?
