[opensuse] Updates from repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.4/ BROKE xorg today
guys Updates tonight from the xorg repo broke x on my toshiba laptop. The system would boot and be dumped to console with some message about not being able to move Xorg.0.log to Xorg.0.log.old (ho hum...) The rpms updated were: /var/cache/zypp/packages/xorg/noarch: xkeyboard-config-2.2.1-25.18.noarch.rpm xorg-x11-libX11-ccache-7.6-16.56.noarch.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/xorg/x86_64: xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.10.4-163.1.x86_64.rpm xorg-x11-server-extra-7.6_1.10.4-163.1.x86_64.rpm xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.6_1.10.4-163.1.x86_64.rpm Downgrading those files alone would allow X to start, but there was no keyboard or mouse input accepted by the display manager. Further downgrading of the following got the box running again: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage xkeyboard-config-2.2.1-25.9.noarch.rpm \ xorg-x11-libX11-ccache-7.6-16.44.noarch.rpm \ xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.6_1.9.3-157.5.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-xauth-7.6-175.7.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-server-extra-7.6_1.9.3-157.5.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.9.3-157.5.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.16_20110115_b795ca6-25.3.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-driver-input-7.6-117.2.x86_64.rpm Is anybody else experiencing problems with these new xorg packages? If so let me know. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That _may_ be a permissions problem. It depends on how you start X If you are using runlevel 5 then kdm should be running as root and kdm will start X and there should'nt be a problem. If you are having problems with kdm (or xdm or gdm) [like me] and are starting from the command line as a user with 'startx' then X is started with your user (i.e. not root) ID and so can't move the log file since /var/log is owned by root and not writable by mere users. So you need a /etc/permissions.local # setuid bit on Xorg is only needed if no display manager, ie startx # is used. Beware of CVE-2010-2240. # /usr/bin/Xorg root:root 4711 and then run as root: chkstat -set /etc/permissions.local
The rpms updated were:
/var/cache/zypp/packages/xorg/noarch: xkeyboard-config-2.2.1-25.18.noarch.rpm xorg-x11-libX11-ccache-7.6-16.56.noarch.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/xorg/x86_64: xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.10.4-163.1.x86_64.rpm xorg-x11-server-extra-7.6_1.10.4-163.1.x86_64.rpm xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.6_1.10.4-163.1.x86_64.rpm
Downgrading those files alone would allow X to start, but there was no keyboard or mouse input accepted by the display manager.
I still get that sometimes but I wonder if my hardware is acting up
Further downgrading of the following got the box running again:
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage xkeyboard-config-2.2.1-25.9.noarch.rpm \ xorg-x11-libX11-ccache-7.6-16.44.noarch.rpm \ xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.6_1.9.3-157.5.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-xauth-7.6-175.7.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-server-extra-7.6_1.9.3-157.5.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.9.3-157.5.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.16_20110115_b795ca6-25.3.x86_64.rpm \ xorg-x11-driver-input-7.6-117.2.x86_64.rpm
Is anybody else experiencing problems with these new xorg packages? If so let me know. Thanks.
I've been having a LOT of problems with xorg packages or over a month now. -- At least when humans go to casualty, they generally haven't gone into the Control Panel and messed with the settings... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This continues as a problem with the latest builds. I have opened a bug here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717172 The problem appears to be with Xorg failing to load the radeon driver resulting in the "no screens found" error. Logs and further description available with the bug report. If you have similar problems with X not loading the radeon driver, please add your comments there :) -- David C.
