Re: GUI problem
It was a cock up with the updates, specifically polkit. All the updates where up to date last night when I wrote looking for help. I checked xsession-errors and found that Xfce couldn't find polkit-gobject-1. Update this morning brought in polkit along with other files. Reboot and it is fine. Must be that I ran the updates just when files were moving from experimental to testing. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Beats me right now. /var/log/Xorg.0.log if there are errors while X is starting up, they'll be in here. Look especially for lines with "(EE)" (errors) and maybe also "(WW)" (warnings). ~/.xsession-errors stderr from window managers, desktop environments, GUI apps, etc is logged here. there will probably be a lot of "noise" drowning out the signal, making it difficult to interpret what is going on, or to identify what the root cause is. craig -- craig sanders ___ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
GUI problem
I had a perfectly good working Devuan system running testing .(beowulf /ceres) Ran some updates a few days ago and everything was working fine. Rebooted starts normally brings up slim, user name and password as normal then a black screen. Switching to a terminal Alt Ctrl F1 allows me to log in. startx and xinit fail Obviously the video card is good or I couldn't get to the log in screen or use the terminal. The system is using the nouveau video driver. It was I believe running the Nvidia driver before the updates Only error I notice on shutdown is that slim is not running which I presume is due to a failure to startx. Where do I start debugging this one? Beats me right now.
