Glxinfo Unable To Open Display
ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top ATI Driver issue, fglrxinfo returning null display error, Xorg.conf file looks funky up vote 0 down vote favorite 1 I have a HP dv6, specifically with a ati radeon hd 5650. It's one of those wonderful hybrid graphics cards. I've spent a great amount of ubuntu fglrx time trying to install the drivers for this graphics card properly. My primary reason to do this is to run gnome 3, which will not work properly when I install the fglrx driver from the additional drivers section of system settings. I know the desire to run gnome 3 might sound trivial, but I've made it my mission to get this to work. Is there a way to simply ignore the ati graphics and go with the intel graphics when using gnome? So, after reinstalling ubuntu using wubi, I immediately followed this guide. However, I ran into some blocks. When I ran the aticonfig command, I got a response PowerXpress error: Cannot stat '/usr/lib64/fglrx': No such file or directory I setup a symbolic link between /usr/lib and /usr/lib64. I do not know if that is correct, but it got my forward. When I rebooted the computer after calling aticonfig, I ended up hanging while booting on a black screen. It was like Checking Blah [ok] ..... Checking Battery State [ok] There were some fails, but the ones I could see were not important. So i

No LiveCD I tried (Fedora 20, Mint) worked properly in graphics mode, unable to so I suspected problem in built-in drivers and moved to linux with text-only installation (Arch), so I could install drivers later. I've followed wiki manual and installed catalyst, removed open source driver, added nomodeset parametr to GRUB etc. but I'm still stucked, because Xorg won't start(black screen and errors presented in Logs). Tried googling, but learned nothing except Radeon unable to open proprietary drivers are comparable to suicide.Versions:Kernel: 3-10.40-1-lts (catalyst_build_module sucessful)Catalyst: 14.4-10Xorg: 1.14.5-11Logs&Configs:lsmodfglrx 8672295 0 amd_iommu_v2 7174 1 fglrx button 4765 1 fglrxfglrxinfoError: unable to open display (null)Xorg.0.conf[ 2632.576] X.Org X Server 1.14.5 Release Date: 2013-12-12 [ 2632.594] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 2632.600] Build Operating System: Linux 3.12.6-1-ARCH x86_64 [ 2632.606] Current Operating System: Linux localhost 3.10.40-1-lts #1 SMP Tue May 13 12:50:03 UTC 2014 x86_64 [ 2632.606] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=4f60e723-44e9-4264-8d6c-ca62c43cf69c rw quiet nomodeset [ 2632.619] Build Date: 08 January 2014 01:35:51PM [ 2632.629] [ 2632.635] Current version of pixman: 0.32.4 [ 2632.646] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

When I run gedit .bashrc (for example), I get: (gedit:9510): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: set | grep DISPLAY returns nothing. But if I ssh -Y into my Ubuntu 11.04 machine, gedit .bashrc works. echo $DISPLAY returns "localhost:10.0". I tried export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 while sshed into my VM and then running gedit .bashrc, but I get: (gedit:9625): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0 What could be different in the configuration of the two difference Ubuntu machines that would explain why one works and the other doesn't?

Install xbase-clients, if it isn't installed already. –Zoredache Jul 13 '11 at 18:22 I installed it but still have the same problem. (See above.) –Daryl Spitzer Jul 13 '11 at 18:29 Yes. Just to be sure, I restarted the VM (and reconnected through SSH afterward). –Daryl Spitzer Jul 13 '11 at 18:38 3 Maybe try passing the -vv option to ssh when you connect, this prints verbose debug messages, you should see several comments about X11 forwarding while connecting. –Zoredache Jul 13 '11 at 18:43 @jcrawfordor You did check the X11Forwarding on the ubuntu one, and that you have x
