after issuing init 3, startx will start kde, but init 5 returns the same result.
Perhaps it is a display manager issue. [gkx]dm does not run in runlevel 3, but does in 5.
Should I change the display manager from kdm to xdm or ?? and try 'init 3', 'init 5' again? Or should I reinstall kdm, can I? I am grasping at straws here <grin>.
If you do that, and the problem does not go away, than it is at least not specific to 1 display manager.
BTW, try 'startx', followed by 'startx -- :1' from another console. I like to know if you can run two instances at the same time. My guess is 'no'.
You are correct. See other post in this thread (answering Anders).
I just rebooted after changing parallel yes to no
This keeps the 'Starting ...' and their eventual error messages next to eachother. (Booting is slightly slowed down, but I can't tell on my pc)
and changing from auto-logon to not.
The 'welcome' screen shows and X hangs right there. I suppose it is doing the same thing that it did with the auto-logon but doesn't display the 'welcome' screen.
Tried again 'startx -- :1', with same errors reported previous. Something about failed to allocate decoder object ...
My believe that it's the nvidia driver gets stronger. But perhaps it's just permissions being wrong somewhere (/dev/* ?). leen@cc22149-a:~> grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.conf alias char-major-195* nvidia leen@cc22149-a:~> ls -l /dev/nvidia* crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 0 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/nvidia00 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 1 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/nvidia01 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 2 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/nvidia02 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 3 2004-04-06 15:27 /dev/nvidia03 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 1 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 2 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 3 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 4 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia4 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 5 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia5 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 6 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia6 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 7 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidia7 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 2004-07-03 10:09 /dev/nvidiactl This is from another machine that was never touched by the NVidia drivers: um-01:~ # ls -l /dev/nvidia* crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 0 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 0 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia00 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 1 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia01 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 2 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia02 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 3 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia03 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 1 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia1 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 2 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia2 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 3 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidia3 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 Apr 6 15:27 /dev/nvidiactl I'm getting near unknown territory.
