Sorry, I don’t remember what the problem was. What happens now when you do startx ?
did you do “nvidia-xconfig” after you installed the driver?
you can see if you have 3d acceleration like this
glxinfo | grep rendering
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2354
Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /temp/.X0-lock and start again.
Invalid MIT-MAGIK-COOKIE-COOKIE-1 keygiving up
xinit: Resource temporarily unavailable (errno 11): unbale to connect X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
I enter command glxinfo | grep rendering and nothing happened.
yikes dude! this is why I don’t do nvidia the hard way lol! If you can get into a graphical screen at all then you can always just go the easy route by using the repos and cross your fingers. Otherwise I think the opensuse dvd has an option to repair a current install you can always try that to get back to default settings and try again.
Nonsense! Just kill X from a console or reboot in runlevel 3 and delete these files.
If i do any or both of those then i would be able to connect with my GUI again? Can you provide more me more informations on how to proceed?
The error message you got was self explaining:
If this server is no longer running, remove /temp/.X0-lock and start again.
You tried to start the X server while it was already running or while it left a lock file behind, makehing the system believe that it was already running. As a consequence you could not access the display. There is nothing to repare or reinstall at this point, just do:
rm /temp/.X0-lock
On the other hand I noticed that you tried to start X as root. It was not necessary. You can log in as user after booting in runlevel 3 and run startx.
What do I must to do after removing the file? Shall i copy what shows in init 3 after typing startx?
-
boot in runlevel 3
-
at login prompt, type user name and password
-
run startx
-
if it doesn’t work, type
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and post outpout -
if it does work, run sudo nvidia-settings
to adjust resolution… Actually there is a specific ‘sudo’ command to Kde or Gnome that might work better. I don’t remember it but I’m sure somebody can tell us.
Okey startx didn’t work and also i coulnd’t post cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log as it was a long list and i could not find a way to paste it here as i couldn’t enter my GUI.
I removed openSuse and reinstalled them. I tried installing them with repositories just like you told me. As i thought it failed. Now my system is up to date with nvidia drivers unistalled.
Can someone please help me step by step installing the drivers? Because i almost tried everything that it has been said here or anything i could find on other forums and site and nothing works for me.
This is getting really annoying for a new linux user like me. I really don’t want to go back to windows.
you can try the one click install from
Guys… as ‘rpm -qa | grep kernel’ shows, he still has ‘kernel-syms’ installed.
