Cannot start x after upgrade to 14.0

Spino · Post by **Spino** » 24. May 2013, 18:06

I tried to put "modesetting" in the driver section (xorg.conf) alsa fbdev and gma500_gfx it didn't work .

I tried to : X -reconfigure it didn't do anything and i ve heard somewhere that it brings the mess in the xorg.conf
Also the xorg.conf-vesa doesn't not work .
All little poor things i know are useless to help it .

Firstly it was an update belongs to the tuto 13.37 to 14.0 and when i see the problem i decided to make a fresh install anyways it was the mess so i needed to do .

So the problem is now within the fresh install .

There is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log :

Thank you for helping me

As I said just now, I think the simplest route is a kernel upgrade (and please do post to say how you get on with Slackel Live, if you decide to do that test first).

However, maybe someone else will post to help you fix it "properly", that is, from where you are now. I'm afraid I've always taken the easy way out ... and so far, it's always worked.

I also recommend browsing this forum for other suggestions. Quite a few users have had trouble with the kernel that ships with 14.0 (including me, on my new laptop).

Merci beaucoup .

Thank you very much mimosa i'll try the Live of Slack and i"ll find a way to make it works .

I've already searched on the forum but i'll continue to find a solution .
I'll post a reply on this thread .

HI .

I didn't try Slackware yet but i can probably solve my problem differently .

On my 13.37 upgraded to 14.0 (i did keep the partition ) when X tries to launch there is the message :

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/X: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: version 'ZLIB_1.2.5.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/libfontenc.so.1)

I look for any solution on the net and read that i needed to downgrade zlib
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions ... -archlinux

However it looks impossible with slapt-get to uninstall or reinstall zlib

Or just move the libz.so.1 :
http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=24883

It seems that /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 is just a link .

I am a little lost but i m pretty sure that the solution is quite simple .

I m already pretty sure i need a helping hand .

mimosa · Post by **mimosa** » 29. May 2013, 14:19

It's Slackel Live, not Slack:

http://slackel.gr/

Slackel is based on Salix, but with a more recent kernel; that might provide a simple solution for your problem. Even if it doesn't, it will provide useful diagnostic information, if you do decide to try it.

Spino · Post by **Spino** » 29. May 2013, 21:09

Ok mimosa i misunderstood . I 'm downloading the live iso i 'll try it .

barnabyh · Post by **barnabyh** » 31. May 2013, 15:08

You could also download the most recent kernel from Slack-Current and install it manually. Grab the source and the headers for it as well just to be sure, and of course do not forget to install the modules and firmware packages.

Apart from that my only other suggestion would be to install proprietary drivers applicable to your card.

You do know how to boot/get into the shell to fix things outside graphical mode? Let us know how you got on, please.

Thanks,
Barnaby

Such a long time since my problem .

I did "fresh install" Slackel and everything worked perfectly .
A brand newer kernel was the solution for the lazy man i am .

Thanks
Spino .
