Id "x1" respawning too fast

Post by contro1ff »

New installation of 15.0.
All seemed to go well until I rebooted from the installer into the OS. I booted into grub instead. After some searching, I learned how to boot it from there. After booting it from grub, I got a bunch of output, and then it was all cleared and I got about ten of the same message, "Starting X11 session manager..." followed by "INIT: Id "x1" respawning too fast:disabled for 5 minutes". I then tried to follow another thread's advice, pretty much logging into console and updating the packages. However, I got a "Failed to download: Couldn't resolve host name" error from that.
What do I do now? Thanks in advance.

Do you have an ati video card ?
Then you need to install xf86-video-ati (ATI Radeon video driver for the Xorg X server)
sudo slapt-get -i xf86-video-ati

I don't think I have an ati video card.
The messages are:

not sure what darkstar is. when i go from the "x1 respawning..." screen to the console screen, "darkstar" is what prompts me to log in.
also worth noting is that I have been manually booting it up. When it powers on, it boots into grub, and from there I load vmlinuz-huge and boot.

The whole log file was huge so I decided to only write the parts that seemed like errors, hope that's enough.

might be worth noting again, i am manually booting it. it boots into GRUB and then i load the kernel and boot it. not sure if that's part of the problem.

I'm not certain, but it could be that your graphics card is not supported by kernel 5.15.x.
