x-server wont load after 8.10 upgrade.
I just upgraded to Intrepid, and now when my computer boots, it wont load into x-server. It tries three times, before just leaving me at the login prompt. I login to the command line, and type "startx" and this is what I get:
Code:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" What does this mean? I also see flash: "no screens detected". What can I do? Thanks in advance. Unr3a1 |
Hello,
I had the same problem on my wife's laptop after upgrading to Intrepid. The reason is that you have overlapping files from another ATI-drivers. You may fix the problem by removing all xorg video drivers and reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-radeon one. The commands should be something like this (worked for me at least): * apt-get remove --purge fglrx* * apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati * apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd * apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-radeon * apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon Now run "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" and you'll have your normal graphical login screen. There is no need to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf I stole the solution from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...36/comments/15 |
So does anyone know what I can do to resolve this?

Post number 2, for some reason, didn't show up. It looks like there is an answer there.

Thank you, ex4, that definitely worked for me. I didn't see your post in time before I just backed up my list of packages, formatted the computer, and installed 8.10 cleanly. Then I restored my installed packages, which brought back the problem I had earlier. So I was still able to use your solution. I much appreciate it.
Also, thank you, Xavier. I didn't see the post, so I appreciate you making it visible for me. |
Thank you! I was having this same issue and was starting to panic!

Login screen hangs up
I am using Ubuntu 7.10
I too cannot log onto X server. I have onboard graphics from Intel (Intel 82845-GL-64MB) I key in my details at the login screen and voilaa...the system just sits there refusing to proceed further. I waas allowed in only once when i set my screen resolution to 1024x768 @ 85 Hz (that is recommended primary mode for my CRT monitor). However, the OSD menu of monitor didn't display 1024x768 reso. rather it said ÜSER MODE". Since then i have been unable to login. Please help me out. |
