RH 9 upgraded Kernel, then tried to update Gimp. Now X windows does not work???
I have RH 9 installed on my Dell laptop(Latitude CPi). Everything worked fine until I tried to get upgrade the Kernel to 2.6. I thought everything went ok but then RPM woud not work. And the mods seem not to work either but since I buit in al my laptop had that did not bother me.
So mosty my laptop was running ok. X was runing fine, was able to get my wireless card working , was able to map all network drives on my local network. Then I tried to update Gimp. Make a very long story short now my X does not work. I tried updating Xfree86 and it seem to work fine. But when I try to start X it crashes. And at reboot the start up GUI now is just a gray screen with a "X" for the cursor and when I move it a question some what pops up (can not tel what it says some of the letters or ether missing or missed up) no matter which of the two I pick it seems to refresh and go back to gray. Now I can access a shared drive and that is where I have downloaded most of the upgrade stuff. One problem I have I no longer have access to a cdrom so a restall is not a option(I hope). I duel boot the laptop and have win98 on it also. I think I have some stuff looking in /usr and other stuff looking in /usr/local . Because at first I only was using sorce files not RPM. I would like to fix this instead of reinstall since it appears other then X stuff Linu x (2.6 ) is running fine. I would like to get rid of all I can and fix what I have. Any log files that may be needed please let me know and I will put them up. I just thought after I explain what I had done the problem would be clear , just the solution hard. Thanks for all help in advance |
if you're using the nvidia driver, you need to recompile it after a kernel update, just do
Code:
su -c "nvidia-installer --force-update" |
It has the Neomagic 256 av card. X worked fine ti I tried the upgrade of Gimp and all it's deps. I think it was "GTK+" that was the one but am unsure. I did not catch the problem until a reboot and I was not using X before hand so not really sure which did it.
Thx Lonnie |
if gtk is broken, you may need to use kdm instead of gdm until you get that fixed. switch to a virtual console (CTRL-ALT-F1), log in as root and type
Code:
/etc/init.d/gdm stop |
Thought you had it. It looked a lot better(more color) but almost same resuts got into a restart loop had to manual stop. But next time I started with "kdm start >& kdm.log" and here is the results:
