3 Problems.

1. Display not working with KDE - Solved by following the advice on IRC and downloading fix-xorg7.sh

2. install-nvidia-debian.sh gives me an error about x-modules-path (logged on IRC - (bart), will recreate later today as I got over the problem by setting the driver to "nv" in the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file

3. bootup is considerably slower - but then I probably need to upgrade my hw Smilie

homer,
did you run fix-fonts -e to fix slower boot?

Hi Devil,


Just did, and it helped. The bootup time is back to normal. (Especially from the KDM Login).

On the NVidia script, I should have said I'm using the 7174 module, (older card) not the 8178 one that comes with CeBIT 2006.

The error message is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
patching file /usr/src/nv/nv.c
Hunk #2 succeeded at line 1034 (offset 6 lines)
./nvidia-installer: unrecognised option '--x-module-path=/usr/lib/xorg/modules'

Invalid commandline, please run './nvidia-installer --help' for usage information
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cheers

Homer

Dist-upgraded yesterday... Results I posted here:

http://kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-17128.html

Just ran another dist-upgrade today (some other xorg file - common, I think) got installed) and also upgraded kernel to latest for good measure and:

1. Problem with firefox fixed (and gtk2 I guess)
2. Speed from nvidia screen to login screen, better. Screen refreshes, better.
3. Kano's script dumped a standard xorg.conf after kernel upgrade and nvidia install which stalled my mouse. I replaced xorg.conf with my original one and it's OK after init 3 and init 5.
4. For some reason firefox fonts in gnews got crappy - wonder why? Have always been OK. Anyway, apt-get install msttcorefonts and fix-fonts worked.

Like before, running fluxbox...

Dist-upgraded yesterday following Neuer User's instructions - absolutely no problems getting
Xorg7. Thanks, Neuer User, Kano, etc.
One small change: glxgears run in konsole no longer reported frames/sec.

Dist-upgrade today broke something with nvidia driver - attempting to run glxgears or
any of the OpenGL screensavers crashed my KDE session and sent me back to the login
screen. Rerunning the install-nvidia-debian script fixed the problem.

OK,
-------------------------
Quick recap - wget http://kanotix.com/files fix-xorg7.sh (chmod a+x fix-xorg7.sh to make it usable)

ctrl+Alt+F1
init 3

apt-get update
Run fix-xorg7.sh (or ./fix-xorg7.sh)
apt-get dist-upgrade
install-nvidia-debian.sh (or whatever you use)

----------------

devil28's fix-fonts -e, improved the bootup time




I had to edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf to change the driver to"nv" on one pc and "mga" on another (Using pretty
old hw)

For the w/e I will need to try it out on mien kinder laptops Smilie

I have X but there are a couple of problems. I am using the 64 bit version with the updated source list but

startx is and unrecognized command and kdesu and sux do not work for giving access to x programs.
kedsu gives me WARNING: No X authentication info set for display :0.0
sux gives me /usr/bin/sux: line 213: xauth: command not found

I think this might be related to the fact that xbase-clients is still at 6.9 and has no new version avaible.

7174 is pretty old. As nVidia does not provide a newer legacy driver blame Nvidia or go shopping Winken

Hey,

I'm suprised the BOX still works, never mind the card.

Still. now I think I have used up all the excuses NOT to go shopping Smilie

I would like to try a home build - any ideas as to motherboards and such like ?

Thanks for a great distro

Regards,

Homer

64bit here, upgraded succesfully. sux doesn't work as said earlier plus i lost keyboard layout (greek in my case), and can't seem to recover it. xorg.conf seems exactly as it was before in that section but still i can't switch to greek no matter what..

I have a problem. When I ran sh fix-xorg, I got: No such file or directory.

I had earlier run 'wget http://kanotix.com/files/fix-xorg7.sh'

Now I am stuck. Help.

UPDATE: I wget again, ran fix-xorg7, now all is well!

did you move the script from where you downloaded it to /usr/local/bin ?
if not move it, make it executable and try again..

good luck..

I've created a full upgrade script, you can download it and get full instructions on the xorg7-h2 upgrade page as well. This script integrates the kano fix-xorg7 into it, but has more features.

The script, if you choose all the options, will upgrade a vanilla 2005-4 or cebit rc 3 install to the latest xorg 7. Or it will just install xorg 7, do a dist-upgrade, then let you reinstall your nvidia or radeon graphics drivers.

Rather than have two versions of these instructions, just go the link above to get the full upto date instructions.

Make sure to check the forums for any warnings before doing a dist-upgrade, these are not super safe right now.

Ok -let's try again,

The script worked before xorg7 so it can only be xorg7 or fix-xorg7.sh

Sorry, IRC Is too busy for me to keep track (bart)

Well, before I did a d-u I went to #kanotix on IRC and asked if any problems with d-u,(I am gone away from home sun-tues at work and don't have access to a computer to check for myself) Kano answered within 2 seconds and told me exactly how to do it, had 1 slight problem (lost my icons control center) after which devil gave me the answer again within 2-3 seconds, all is well Winken Smilie The reply time for me if I have a problem on IRC is A-1 the best. I think so far the transition has been pretty smooth and painless.

Today I did a dist-upgrade following the instructions earlier in this thread (or somewhere) and no problems at all.

For what it's worth I followed the same procedure and used the kanotix script to upgrade my Mepis partitions too.

Many thanks for the great info.

Thank you very much, h2, for this script. Worked beautifully. Although I had my fingers crossed the whole time that it would work. Sehr glücklich

Very nice piece of work.
