So, I can't start x as normal user then I su. The problem is, when I su, it starts x as root and I'm in my session as root. I tried to start a new session but all I got was a black screen with a white dash in the top left corner.

Also, I don't know how to leave the Desktop Environment. The guide says to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace but it doesn't work for me. When I do that, nothing happens. When I Ctrl-Alt-F1 it does leave the Desktop and flashes some words but doesn't give me a prompt.

Hi,

* Did you make a ~/.xinitrc file?
* What Window Manager or Desktop Manager are you using?
* Is your user part of the video group?

As for you your leaving issues, Press Ctrl-Alt-F1, if you don't get a prompt your X is probably running so kill it with Ctrl-c. Or alternatively press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get a prompt and kill your X.

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace died a while ago. Now it only exists when you reconfigure it to. (Please don't ask me, I don't know how).

When you Ctrl-Alt-F1 back to your session (assuming you logged in to the first session) type ctr+c to kill xorg.

Now on to your problem: what does your user's .xinitrc file contain?

If you do not have xterm and twm installed, please do so. (emerge -av xterm twm) This should give an absolutely ugly, but hopefully working, environment. It will really just be a few terminals. To leave type "exit" in each one until the session closes.

Try startx again as a user and tell us what happened.

EDIT: Ahh.. I see I was beaten to the post.

Hey,

I did make a ~/.xinitrc file and in it, i wrote
Code:
exec startkde

in it.


Is a Windows Manager like KDE, because I'm using KDE.

I didn't make my user part of any group except wheel.

I'll try leaving that way, thanks.

You will need to add your user to video to get display, just like your user will need to be in audio if you want sound.

KDE is a desktop environment. That is a bigger structure than just a window manager, but it includes one, namely kwin. That should be fine eventually. For now, here is what I would do:

1) add my user to the video group. (gpasswd -a username video)

2) run X -retro. A useless black and white pattern with a movable cursor is success here.

3) try and run kde from the command line.

This should allow you to rule out a configuration problem with your drivers

One note about running X as root: it is very taboo. It opens all kinds of security holes. You should never do it.

Hi,

Could you post /var/log/Xorg.0.log or something more specific about that Xauthority problem.

Do you have the file ~/.Xauthority? If so delete it.

I can't find an xauthority. I dunno where it would be. Do you think if I chomd 777 that it will allow reg user to startx?

Well, various pastebins exist...

Though there's an interesting error (likely unrelated directly to this problem):
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Tell me: 'emerge -1pv mesa libdrm' ?

:roll: I wasn't asking for you to reemerge it, at least not yet.
That was a question about the set of useflags on those packages.

Also, the part about pastebin was a strong suggestion.

I didn't get what you were saying about pastebin. You said that various pastebins exist.

(Sorry, I'm dumb)

So, I should add bindist to my use flags?

'bindist' is irrelevant here.
'pastebin' meant "find a pastebin of your choice and put the whole log there".
Again, I not asking you to reemerge those libs yet, just to post the output with '-1pv'.

OT: this forum could use a smiley for :sigh:, 'eyeroll' sometimes doesn't quite fit.

oh, crap, this sounds really dumb but i'm assuming typing 'emerge -1pv mesa libdrm' won't get me the log...in that case, i dunno how to get to the log

OK, there seems to be a thing or two.
First, while IIRC nothing major uses that yet, set libkms on libdrm anyway.
Second, if I'm reading your log correctly, you should add i965 to VIDEO_CARDS in your make.conf.
After that, rebuild both mesa and libdrm (just make sure first you set it correctly) and pastebin new xorg log.

Sorry, I couldn't reply faster. I've been busy.

Anyway, could you dumb things down to n00b language?

How do I set libkms on libdrm? Do i do this in the kernel configuration?
How exactly do i rebuild mesa and libdrm?

Thanks

EDIT--I googled and google has no idea what your talking about

Make sure you add i915 to VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/make.conf then

Code:
echo "x11-libs/libdrm libkms" >> /etc/portage/package.use

So the good news is, it did finally kinda work. What happened was, when I startx in normal user, I still got a lot of messages that said something about xauthority timing out.

So when the GUI finally appeared, it showed 3 white boxes. This happened to me before when I first ran it as root but I was able to fix it by making a file called ~/.xinitrc and putting 'exec startkde' in it (without single quotes). Anyway, I made a file called ~/.xinitrc and typed exec startkde in it. However, when I try to save it, I couldn't because there was already another file that had the same name. I tried to overwrite the old one, but it said permission denied.

Should I change permissions for ~/.xinitrc?


Also, on a side note,
When I startup, it always waits for dhcpcd to start up and its kinda annoying because it takes forever and always times out. My wireless networking doesnt start automatically at start up. I need to /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start to start networking for wireless. Is there a way where I can disable dhcpcd to start in the beginning or start wireless at startup?


Also, after I boot to my Gentoo partiiton, there's always a bunch of words that flash and then the screen blacks out. The backlight pretty much just dims until the screen is black. I can normally just fix this by hitting F3 which controls the brightness. However, this is a bit annoying and I was wondering if there was a way to get the backlight to stay on. [/code]

BTW, if this helps, I pasted a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

athena810,

Code:
echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc

will overwrite the file

You can if root owns it in your home - you'll have to do it a root user.

I tried to change permissions. In root I chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc
However, in user when I tried to nano ~/.xinitrc, it came up as a new file. I'm so utterly confused. I tried to overwrite the current ~/.xinitrc but then it permission denied me. Then I chmod 777 ~/.xinitrc in root and went back to reg user and again tried to overwrite. It gave me a permission denied again. So does chmod just decided to not work for me or did I again, not add reg user to a group that I was suppose to add?

startx for user athena still gives me
Code:

xauth: timeout in locking authority file // .serverauth.2435
xauth: timeout in locking authority file // .Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file // .Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file //.Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file //.Xauthority

{blah etc not important}

Unable to create //.dbus
Unable to create //.dbus/session-bus
xinit: Connection to X server lost

{}blah again

xauth: timeout in locking authority file //.Xauthority.



And despite changing permissions for ~/.xinitrc, I still get the three white boxes.

//.xinitrc is not a file...so now what? Im so confused, how come I dont see this file but if I try to nano it in root i see exec startkde but if I nano it in reg user i get a new file? Idk what to do.


Also, anyone have answers to these?

My DNS Server is also FUBAR Windows...so it seems but strangely enough it seems to be working fine in Gentoo. So I'm not even sure if its a DNS problem..anyway, this is probably not the place to ask but you all seem to be pretty tech savvy in everything so...
