Hi All,
A while ago I installed Apache/mysql (and a few other related packages) via yast. However, after doing so, the xserver would no longer start (a lot of seg faults in the error logs). After doing a load of troubleshooting and trying different things (including updating the kernel), I got rid of the errors by updating to a newer version of libxml2 and zlib.
But I still can’t get to a gui! Here’s what I’ve done so far:
I’m running sles 11.0 64bit, the kernel is 2.6.31.5-0.1-default. I uninstalled the nvidia drivers which were currently installed and followed the directions here:
SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE
with zypper to install the drivers that match the current kernel. I then ran
sax -r -a
and rebooted. However, when I try to log in, no gui appears (black screen). I can ssh into a terminal though, so I did and ran:
rcxdm restart
Which then produces errors like:
gdm[27222]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.286671 seconds
gdm[27222]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.526436 seconds
gdm[27222]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
The end of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log has these errors in it:
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system’s kernel log for additional error messages.
(II) UnloadModule: “nvidia”
(II) Unloading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/updates//drivers/nvidia_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module “nvidia” (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Help?! Please let me know any additional info you brilliant folks may require,
Thanks,
