 Posted: Thu May 18, 2017 11:59 am Post subject: [solved]Failed X11 Install |
 |
|
Hi, I emerged x11-base/xorg-server, but apparently I did something wrong because it didn't install. When I run startx I get:
| Code: | xauth: file /home/username/ .servaerauth.27889 does not exist
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 3: /usr/bin/X: No such file or directory
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error |
In the kernel, I enabled:
evdev
support for framebuffer devices (disabling all the sub items)
framebuffer console support
nouveau
Then I rebuilt and rebooted.
Updated /etc/portage/make.conf:
| Code: | # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
# WARNING: Changing your CHOST is not something that should be done lightly.
# Please consult http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml before changing.
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
# These are the USE and USE_EXPAND flags that were used for
# buidling in addition to what is provided by the profile.
USE="bindist"
CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse sse2"
PORTDIR="/usr/portage"
DISTDIR="${PORTDIR}/distfiles"
PKGDIR="${PORTDIR}/packages"
# X Windows Configurations
# (For nVidia cards)
VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau"
# (For mouse & keyboard support)
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" |
Also, is there anyway to unmerge the package? I tried
| Code: | | root #emerge -cav www-client/firefox |
| Code: | | root #emerge -C www-client/firefox |
But both output:
| Code: | | Couldn't find 'x11-base/xorg-server' to unmerge. |
Problem is I cant emerge the package again as portage says it can't find it since I originally emerged it. 
Thank You and Best Regards

you can check if a package is install by doing emerge -pv package (it also tells about versions, and useflag set)
you can remove a package by doing emerge -c package
you can install (or reinstall) a package by doing emerge package
have a look for some portage faq https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/FAQ
so if you do emerge -c firefox
you would get an error about "firefox", that's not really related to xorg
you have options (useflag) that may influence the result, look at them with gentoolkit (more about it here https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoolkit)
i think the +minimal useflag and -xorg useflag may endup with xorg-server install but not X. |

| Code: | | emerge -pv x11-base/xorg-server |
outputs:

IIRC there were 41 packages when I originally emerged x11-base/xorg-server
I also tried | Code: | | root #emerge --ask --verbose x11-base/xorg-drivers |
AFTER I tried to emerge xorg-server per the xorg guide instructions to try if "If the suggested settings does not work," although I'm not sure what that exactly means. After installing that I tried re-emerging xorg-server but it didn't make any difference. |

If by install you mean
| Code: | | emerge --ask x11-base/xorg-server |
I've already done that. That's why I'm posting. It didn't install. When I run startx it can't find /usr/bin/X
I've confirmed that by searching in the directory. It isn't there.
I run | Code: | | emerge --ask x11-base/xorg-server |
and the output is now
| Code: | | [Applications found : 0] |

Well, think through this some... you don't have /usr/bin/X which is from xorg-server, xorg-server is not installed for some unknown reason, and think it's magically going to be present anyways?
If xorg-server is failing to compile/install, we need those logs (full thing) so we can find out why and help you.
Note: For logs that are long, it is recommended to use paste bin to upload the logs and give us the link to it. wgetpaste is your friend here, to easily post your logs to paste bin...
Note 2: The general rule of thumb, always make sure you sync to make sure your tree is up to date if you run into issues. This makes it so that we know you have the current version of packages and any possible bug fixes that was already fixed...

Okay, I can do that. Where do I find the logs? I have wgetpaste installed.
Also, tree is synced. |

At the end of the emerge runs that fail, it will tell you exactly where you can find the build.log (most commonly what we will need, the others are less commonly needed).
Otherwise you can always copy the output of your terminal to a file and submit that (piping the emerge command to a text file works too, saving you from having to hunt for the file).
The bottom of the emerge will look something similar like this, but for the applicable package.
| Code: | * If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.4::gentoo'`,
* the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.4::gentoo'`.
* The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.4/temp/build.log'.
* The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.4/temp/environment'.
* Working directory: '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.4/work/ffmpeg-3.2.4-abi_x86_32.x86'
* S: '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.4/work/ffmpeg-3.2.4' |
Note: The failures tend to be farther up in the log, hence why we ask for the full log; so that we can find the error... |

Here's the full log from
| Code: | | emerge --ask x11-base/xorg-server |
https://paste.pound-python.org/show/cGEDlcUO5xNeNOFjqwf9/
I didn't hard paste because of length.

Yes, it's a virtual machine.
I allocated 1 CPU to the virtual machine so MAKEOPTS -j2 (1 CPU + 1 more) and no swap because I couldn't find any consensus on what the swap should be set to (a lot of people post not having any swap) How much more ram do I need to add? The machine only has 4GB total. Also, should I allocate both CPU's to the VM and should I set up a swap partition? |

the linux old good consensus about swap has always be swap = 2x memory, because adding more than 2x mean your system is lacking so badly memory that it need way too much swap, and will crawl to its knees accessing it.
what you should do is lighten memory usage, use a 32bits vm (you have no problem using 32bits vm in 64bits system), it will clearly lighten memory usage (that your 64bits system must already pressure a lot with only 4gb) |

@krinn thanks for the info; i'll run it in a 32 bit vm and see how it performs. My ulitmate goal is to dedicate this machine to gentoo entirely. I'm doing it in VM just to get familiar with the system and reduce downtime as much as possible. Hopefully I can make most if not all of the big mistakes in the VM that way I get it right the first time when I build it for real.

Other posters addressed your immediate questions. Most people who talk about not having swap have plenty of system RAM available. As a first approximation, "plenty" would be at least as much as you could get from a single mid-range RAM stick (or several cheap ones) on the market at the time in question. A VM running with only 1G would not be a big issue using software from back when 2G-4G was considered top end, especially if you reduced the memory pressure by not using parallel jobs. Modern systems can come with 8G-16G easily, and software has unfortunately grown to fill some of that space (especially if we add in the memory pressure of parallel jobs). Adding some swap only costs you a little bit of disk space, and can save you from some very unpleasant out-of-memory events if you push the system a little farther than its available RAM can accommodate. You can also reduce memory pressure (in some cases) by reducing the number of parallel jobs. |

I found this so hopefully it'll get the kernel configuration squared away
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-961502.html
also been looking at this, although the I can't find the setting for Virtio GPU driver in the kernel configuration menu
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VirtualBox#Guest_Additions
@hu
Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I haven't set up swap yet but after this kernel recompile I'll do that. I'm working with limited resources so it makes sense to do so. I've had a class on operating systems for programmers so it's not completely unfamiliar territory, but this is the first time I've really put these principle into practice. I'm still in the phase where I'm throwing stuff on the wall and seeing what sticks so to speak, but the general method of how Gentoo and Linux in general works is starting to take shape in my mind. |

| As far as I can tell Graphics Support --->VirtioGPUDriver needs to be enabled for X to run under VBox, but I can't find this item in the 4.9.16-gentoo Kernel Configuration. If anybody can provide confirmation on this or generally constructive or useful feedback It'd be greatly appreciated |
