First, I assure you that both the "as root" and "as user" tests were done using the same command line: startx -- -config xorg.conf.hdboot And that the "as root" works, and the "as user" doesn't. The huge surprise is, that when I took your suggestion and copied xorg.conf.hdboot to

I performed this operation. Still cannot get X to run as an ordinary user. Xorg.0.log files for success as root, and failure as user can be found here: http://www.dudley.nu/GoboLinux/Xorg.0.log-as-root http://www.dudley.nu/GoboLinux/Xorg.0.log-as-user The failure as user log includes the

Re: [gobolinux-users] How to run the installer for GoboLinux 16 ? Video modes?

One more thing. I figured out the difference between booting the Live CD and the booting off the hard disk and having X work or not. When the Live CD boots the console user is root. When I boot my hard disk install, I login to the console as an ordinary user. Just for the hell of it, I made

Re: [gobolinux-users] How to run the installer for GoboLinux 16 ? Video modes?

I think I've exhausted my interest in fixing GoboLinux's many problems. Here are the results of the latest experiments, as suggested by Lucas: 1. Not possible to put computer in UEFI mode, the computer is from 2006 or so and that option is not in the BIOS. 2. echo -1 >

Re: [gobolinux-users] How to run the installer for GoboLinux 16 ? Video modes?

Hi Bill, Thanks for the logs -- I had assumed that you were installing all of this on a UEFI setup, but the logs indicate that you have a BIOS-based setup. So, the efifb parameter is not going to have any effect on your machine. The LiveDVD and the installed system logs do not differ

Re: [gobolinux-users] How to run the installer for GoboLinux 16 ? Video modes?

The more I use this, the more broken-ness I discover. The ethernet interface doesn't come up on the hd install. To get the debug files to you, I had to dick around with a USB flash drive, complicated by the next bug: The hd install keeps turning off the USB port that my keyboard plugs into.

Re: [gobolinux-users] How to run the installer for GoboLinux 16 ? Video modes?

This is major homework. I'll perform some of the experiments tomorrow and get back to you with the results. Another problem: The GoboLinux installer messed up the boot of the existing Ubuntu installation. I used gparted to make the sda1 partition smaller, created sda3, installed GoboLinux to

I've tried two different monitors, and both of them don't work with GoboLinux 016 DVD. The Dell just tells me that the video is out of range, and try to use it's native 1600x1200. The (newer) Viewsonic just shows flashing vertical colored strips. Good thing I'm not an epileptic. Is it possible
