 Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2017 1:41 pm Post subject: Xfce startup errors |
 |
|
Hi, all!
Trying to master Gentoo. Got to the desktop environment. Install Xfce with help Gentoo manuals.
But during xfce startup there are many errors in console. I would like to know the reason these errors. Should I correct them or ignore them?
XFCE ouput: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/5SlAtgiCvVLNUq5UY9LI/.
USE flags: USE="-gnome -kde -qt4 vaapi".
XFCE_PLUGINS="battery brightness clock power".
I would be grateful for any information. |

please
| Code: | wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
|
| Code: | wgetpaste lspci -kk
|
| Code: | | wgetpaste /etc/portage/make.conf |
or /etc/make.conf (when you use the old location) |

Bumbleebee,
Rather than Roman_Grubers | Code: | | wgetpaste /etc/portage/make.conf |
| Code: | | wgetpaste -c 'emerge --info' |
is more useful but we need the other stuff too.

Your cpu for sure supports more: i5-5200U
https://gpo.zugaina.org/app-portage/cpuid2cpuflags
install that package and change your CPU_FLAGS_X86=. I assume your box supports a bit more than what oyu have
-- optional
maybe worth setting
ABI_X86="32 64"
or pure 64 bit:
ABI_X86="64"
--
I wonder why
| Quote: | | [ 492.849] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. |
why the sever terminates itself
--
My personal recommmendation is: HArdware 3 years or older use amd64. Anything newer (which is the case for i5-5200U use ~amd64.
Especially in your case, as you want to use / have the intel gpu. the intel gpu needs the newest package usually, the newest intel gpu driver.
Also please, verify if you are using the correct intel gpu driver. I'm not sure if you are using the correct intel gpu driver.
| Quote: | | VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965" |
looks the correct one
| Code: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics
Kernel driver in use: i915
|
I would not be surprised if here is again: kernel is new enough (usually guys use much older, keep that kernel), but mesa, intel gpu driver, xorg-server is dated.
I run for several years ~amd64 wihtout much fuss. I can not say if amd64 is really useful, that better as ~amd64.
--
I would reconfigure those cpu flags, rebuild world,
than i would check the kernel. Gentoo wiki on how to setup intel gpu on gentoo
usually a gpu need certain settings in the kernel, sometimes kernel flags for the bootloader, and certain setting (useflags, video-cards, input-devies) on the package level.

| Code: | roman@ASUS-G75VW ~ $ groups
wheel audio cdrom video games cdrw usb vboxusers android plugdev roman wireshark dropbox
|
Please check if you are in those groups. roman is my user account ...
I doubt you need to be in dropbox, wireshark group or vboxusers

Suggestion:
| Quote: | | xfce4-session: No GPG agent found |
No idea?
... why not emerge lxdm
and put lxdm to default runlevel,
and use that to login? |

Bumbleebee,
Your Xorg log is a normal startup and shut down, with nothing in the middle.
How do you start Xfce4?
Some of your errors/warning are dbus related. We can fix them if some of the functionality you need is missing but it looks like Xfce should start.
Do not set ABI_X86 explicitly in make.conf. Its set in your profile and only on rare occasions should you need to change it.
You have not reach one of those rare occasions yet.
It is worth setting CPU_FLAGS_X86= correctly to match your CPU. It helps performance on a few multimedia packages.
Its not your problem now.
Your Xorg log is missing the section where Xorg list all the open source drivers for your GPU. This implies that you have configured Xorg to use the modesetting driver.
Track down where that is set and remove it. Xorg will build a list of preferred drivers in performance order and use the best one.
It may not be the modesetting driver.
Its not stopping Xfce4 starting either, its a nice to have.
How do you start Xfce4?

Thanks for answers, Roman_Gruber and NeddySeagoon.
It took some time to follow yours recomendations. So in order.
I updated CPU_FLAGS_X86 variable. There is new make.conf https://paste.pound-python.org/show/zTc6cP3bowWlNnZnSkb2/.
I tried to change ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "~amd64", but there were package conflicts when i run emerge update. Currently i dont know what to do in that situation. So I returned to "amd64".
I deleted modesetting driver. Now i have a question: what's wrong with it? When i can used it?
Now about questions.
1)I start xfce with command.
2)Message | Quote: | | [ 492.849] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. |
is there because i done logout from xfce session.
3)I do not plan to use desktop environment very often, so currently i do not want to emerge lxdm.
There is new Xorg.0.log https://paste.pound-python.org/show/IcVkEYwA9Twi6MdheBoA/ and xfce session log https://paste.pound-python.org/show/MEgZw0O1hq1O6D1MKt5B/.
I still want to get rid of xfce errors.
Best regards |

just read the topic again and wondered, if the x server alone works, just a plain x session => startx
--
well you could emerge lxdm. try it if it fixes the issues and unmerge all packages. except a few more config files maybe in /etc there should not be any drawback ... or any other graphical login manager. I would not recommend slim, slim sometimes worked sometimes not on different machines here.
just for your information => /var/log/emerge.log => tells you what you did with portage. |

Bumbleebee,
All the 'assertion' messages as for example,
| Code: | xfce4-panel:3314): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_show: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
(xfce4-panel:3314): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_box_pack: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (child)' failed
(xfce4-panel:3314): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_show: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed |
are information for the software developers. They are not errors. Users cannot do anything with them.
Going back to the top.
| Code: | | xfce4-session: No GPG agent found |
is informational. Do you run a GPG agent?
| Code: | | (xfdesktop:3315): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported |
Is informational, not an error.
I don't use udisks so I don't know if it matters.
