Error Setting Mtrr Invalid Argument
Contents |
a new ubuntu box to act as a home web server and I believe I messed something up. I'm a semi-newbie and I'm not sure how to explain the problem, so I'll simply say what I wanted to do, what I did and the result. What startx error setting mtrr invalid argument 22 I wanted to do: Have the ability to telnet into this machine and start xwindows so error setting mtrr ubuntu I can later vnc into it when I wished. Basically the only thing I wanted to do is startx so it would use the shut down error setting mtrr machine's physical display, keyboard, mouse, ect and allow me to connect via vnc later if I wanted it to. What I did: I telneted in from a windows machine and attempted startx (I knew this would most likely try to error setting mtrr (base = 0xf0000000, size = 0x00100000, type = 1) invalid argument (22) use my windows machine as the display and would kick out an error, but I figured it was worth a shot. I then tried startx &. No luck there either. I then tried sudo startx. I think that's where I screwed something up. Result: Now, not only does it not work, but if I attempt to startx on the machine normally I get a blank screen. I understand that I most likely somehow set the display incorrectly but I have no

idea how to fix this. Can I get some help with both fixing my screwup and getting things to work as I originally wanted? KrytarikMarch 31st, 2011, 05:54 AMResult: Now, not only does it not work, but if I attempt to startx on the machine normally I get a blank screen. Check "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for error messages. Also, why don't you simply set it up to run startx at startup? This way you wouldn't have to find a way to launch it through the remote machine. GhosthavenMarch 31st, 2011, 06:16 AMI want to run it without a gui most of the time to conserve resources but I want to be able to vnc into x when I want to as well. As far as the log file... its pretty much all greek to me. I'm attaching it here so hopefully one of you gurus can help me figure out whats wrong. (added the .doc extension so I could upload it) I really don't want to have to wipe the drive and start from scratch. :( KrytarikMarch 31st, 2011, 06:53 AMI figured you have Maverick 10.10 installed, right? 1.) There is an error message (although not stated as such) that a video driver library file is missing. 2.) The xserver apparently thinks all is well, but in fact nothing gets displayed. Conclusion: It seems to an issue with the video driver (nouveau), and not related to the previous launch of startx with sudo.

But with the resources of the "Cirrus Logic". I wanna be able to choose the VGA I want when open the X Server. How do I do that? PS: The final goal here is to use OpenGL of NVIDIA. This is an Ubuntu running on Amazon AWS. It has GPU so it's supposed to have a way for me to use OpenGL on it. PS2: Disable the Cirrus VGA is also very welcome.
