General Support - Xcrashing frequently neu2linux - 29.03.2007, 18:52 Uhr Titel: Xcrashing frequently
X keeps crashing on me... It keeps shutting down and kicking me back to the kdm login screen. Also, it may have something to do with this... I am using Kanotix on my laptop and the mouse pad acts a little strange... when online, sometimes when I move the mouse to the left the browser goes back a few screens, and to the right it will go forward??? Not sure if anyone can help me on this one... All updates have been installed. I am using the 2006-01 RC4 cd.

Did you reinstall nvidia drivers?
neu2linux - 29.03.2007, 20:25 Uhr Titel: RE: Xcrashing frequently
I did not. what would be the correct script to do this? Also, apt-get update leaves me with error messages...
Kano - 29.03.2007, 20:38 Uhr Titel: RE: Xcrashing frequently
update-scripts-kanotix.sh
install-nvidia-debian.sh
apt-get update
may only show some key errors.
neu2linux - 29.03.2007, 21:02 Uhr Titel: RE: Xcrashing frequently
great. I am in the process of a dist-upgrade right now. but as soon as that is complete, I will run those scripts. Once again, thank you. I will update the status in a few days to let you know if that worked.

Ok, I ran "update-scripts-kanotix.sh" and was told that nvidia is up-to-date. I then ran "install-nvidia-debian.sh" anyway and got:
root@EricsKanotixBox:/home/eneu# update-scripts-kanotix.sh
install-fglrx-debian.sh...current version
install-kernel-source-vanilla.sh...current version
install-nvidia-debian.sh...current version
update-scripts-kanotix.sh...no update available
root@EricsKanotixBox:/home/eneu# install-nvidia-debian.sh
Error: No supported nVidia VGA adapter found.
root@EricsKanotixBox:/home/eneu#
Any ideas? also, I received some errors during dist-upgrade... Do you think I may have a bad install? Or is that normal?
Kano - 29.03.2007, 23:19 Uhr Titel: RE: Xcrashing frequently
Ok, then paste, what
apt-get dist-upgrade
shows...
neu2linux - 30.03.2007, 17:43 Uhr Titel: RE: Xcrashing frequently
ok, this is what I get.
root@EricsKanotixBox:/home/eneu# apt-get dist-upgrade
