[Solved]LinuxMCE load fails (Dcerouter login:)

[FuZoRBlade]

Alright... I've hit yet another dead end.

I restarted my computer after LinuxMCE finished installing, and as soon as the Kubuntu bar becomes totally blue, and it finishes loading, i get an error message ending in

dcerouter login: *Reloading... etc etc

Also, the screen keeps flashing back and forth between the dcerouter login, and another screen that says helper script failed.

Any ideas whats going on??? I had installed Kubuntu first, then installed the newest nvidia drivers as per: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514161

Then I installed LinuxMCE.

I also tried holding shift during the Kubuntu loading screen, after the beep. This doesnt help at all and it doesnt load the AV wizard.

Im running the Abit AN-M2HD, with the 7050 graphics chipset.

[teedge77]

did you try without loading the drivers before linuxce and then letting linuxmce load the drivers for you?

[FuZoRBlade]

no I havent tried that... problem with that is that the chipset i am using is extremely new... and i really doubt that linuxmce supports my card.

im running the Geforce 7050 / 630a graphics card. Its integrated into my motherboard. The latest nvidia drivers from the nvidia website JUST added support for this. When I did the linuxMCE install, it didnt even say anything about drivers. I didnt get the proprietary driver dialog box.

heres the exact screen:

usplash: Seting mode 1024x768 failed
usplash: Using mode 800x600
mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found.

etc etc

Ubuntu 7.04 dcerouter tty1
dcerouter login:


Im stumped! Really starting to frustrate me...

Any help?

[FuZoRBlade]

okay.. i solved this by going into the shell and replacing the xorg.conf with xorg.conf.backup.

This gets AV wizard to start

Im a total noob (never used linux before).....I have same prob (same mobo). How do you enter the shell?.....any help please.
cheers

[FuZoRBlade]

when you have the command prompt, that means you're in the shell.

when it says "dcerouter login:" type in your login username/password

cd /etc/X11/
then use mv xorg.conf xorg.config.1
and then mv xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf

Hi all, I have the exact same motherboard, and the exact same problem.
Straight to a DCERouter Login prompt.

However

when you have the command prompt, that means you're in the shell.

when it says "dcerouter login:" type in your login username/password

This is a totally fresh clean PC, and I used the Linux MCE quick install DVD. The only buttons I pressed on install were
When asked whether I'd like to install : Enter
When asked which HDD to install to :1 then Enter

I never had to set up a login, or password, so have no idea what to input.

Any help greatly appreciated, and be warned I'm a total NooB

Thanks in advance

John

[teedge77]

the username and password are

linuxmce

[John@TunerUK]

Cheers for that. I'm now logged in, but cannot move xorg.conf org.config.1
Permission denied

any ideas?

[teedge77]

did you use sudo?? just checking.

[John@TunerUK]

ok, got it working now.

Here's how I did it.

Login linuxmce
Pass: linuxmce

Next step

cd /etc/X11

Next step

sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.1

Next step

sudo mv xorg.conf.pluto.avwizard xorg.conf





And as if by magic it worked.
Hope that helps others in the same spot

[Russ218]

tried all above, but it says "no such directory".........

[teedge77]

are you using a capital x? it shoudl be X11. just checking. linux is very particular about casing.
