    Re: No GUI after upgrade from 8.04 KDE 4.1

      Re: No GUI after upgrade from 8.04 KDE 4.1

      Have you checked your logs? I'm not running a debian based system, so I can't tell you the precise file you ought to be looking at, but straight after booting up log into the CLI and check your
      Code:
      cat /var/log/messages.log
      and
      Code:
      dmesg
      output to see whether there are any meaningful error messages.

      You should also have an xorg.log or something similar named in /var/log/ - do check that as well and post any info
      Once your problem is solved please mark the topic of the first post as SOLVED so others know and can benefit from your experience! / FAQ

        If it is at least trying to start X the useful info should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

          I have no messages.log, but relevant output of dmesg is:
          [ 3.387093] pci 0000:01:00.0: Boot video device

          I couldn't really find anything else. Here's the Xorg.0.log:

                Re: No GUI after upgrade from 8.04 KDE 4.1

                Your xorg.conf and logs show that you are running the nv xserver but this says you have parts of numerous nvidia packages installed. I think that to get to a real clean state you should run
                Code:
                sudo aptitude purge nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-180-modaliases nvidia-71-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases nvidia-cg-toolkit nvidia-common nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-settings
                Then
                Code:
                sudo dpkg --purge nvidia-glx-71 nvidia-glx-71-dev nvidia-glx-legacy
                At that point you should have all the configuration files and every trace of the proprietary drivers off your system.

                Then try to start your GUI from a VT with
                Code:
                sudo invoke-rc.d kdm start
                . If that gives you a message about KDM already running then
                Code:
                sudo invoke-rc.d kdm restart
                .

                If any packages refuse to install that indicates a problem.

                    At the very least your system is now in a more consistent state. After coming back to the test terminal do you see any message on the screen? You should try
                    Code:
                    sudo aptitude -f install
                    just to make sure your system is consistent.

                    What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log contain? It should tell us if X is failing to start. Otherwise it might be KDM that is failing to start.

                        Re: No GUI after upgrade from 8.04 KDE 4.1

                        I had hoped we would see some difference in the log but it looks exactly the same. Did you look at the timestamp to see if the file was created at the time you last tried to start KDM? The error messages are non I have actually seen before but "Saw signal 11. Server aborting." makes me think segmentation violation, which makes me think that your system did not actually upgrade and is part 8.04 and part 9.04. When you ran aptitude -f install did it actually install numerous packages? If you run
                        Code:
                        sudo aptitude update
                        sudo aptitude -f full-upgrade
                        Does it complete and tell you here are not upgrades available?

                            I am pretty sure some software is not right on your system and it is part of X. You are not even getting to KDM. I think I would start doing
                            Code:
                            sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-video-nv x11-xserver-utils xserver-common xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core
                            and if that didn't get it I would continue with the other pieces of X.

                            At this point it might be worth booting to the repair kernel and trying the xfix also. I think your system was a lot more confused before.

                              I tried that (xserver reinstall) and nothing.

                              I'm trying to do an xfix, but the text screen is so mangled it was hard to find that menu item in the recovery screen. Any hints on how to fix that, in the short term (I know that's the least of my problems)?

                                I couldn't tell if xfix worked. I added vga=ask to my menu.lst in /boot/grub and learned something. My system boot display is really corrupted if I use anything other than vga modes (text). If I use vesa modes, I can't get anything other than a corrupted screen. Interestingly, the kubuntu splash screen loads fine when I do choose a vga option after the distorted text comes up.

                                D0n't know if that helps.
