I just installed 0810 Beta 2 DVD. Once I installed installed linuxmce, I received the Failed to setup X in AV Wizard. Can someone give me step by step process to get it running?
What graphics card do you have.
And, did you search the forum? I'm sure I've seen some other posts like this...
br,
sambuca
The graphics card is integrated Nvidia Geforce 8100
I have a Nvidia Geforce 8100 on the motherboard.
I have hit the same issue wih AVwizard failing to setup x. I have search through other forum topics and have come up short. I have a zotac gforce gst250 card and a zotac mb with a geforce 9300 GPU. Any help would be much appreciated.
what does /var/log/xorg.0.log say?
I believe I have worked out the issue. In the bios settings I have had to disable the onboard gpu. I am now reinstalling a fresh copy of LinuxMCE so I will see how i go and let you know.
Cheers.
I haven't had as many issues with the 8.10 installs and the nvidia 8000 series, but on 7.10 this was always how I had to deal with it.
1. DL the nvidia 195.30 beta driver on another machine from here, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.30/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run (you can wget from host... but I like this method because I reinstall a lot, and like having it handy).
2. Rename it because you are lazy. I like NV1953.run
3. Put it on a thumb drive.
4. Start in recovery mode (root terminal)
5. Create a directory and change the permissions to all read write execute. I like... mkdir /mnt/thumb1 and then chmod 777 /mnt/thumb1
6. Plug the thumb in. You will see some linux gook and in there will be a /dev/**** in my case, "/dev/sdg"
7. Mount it. mount -t vfat /dev/sdg /mnt/thumb1
8. Copy the file to the home directory in case you need it again, then unmount and remove the thumb drive.
cp /mnt/thumb1/NV1953.run /home/linuxmce
umount /dev/sdg and unplug the thumb.
9. Shell it sh /home/linuxmce/NV1953.run
10. Answer questions correctly... (probably "no" "accept" "yes im sure") then after the install, it will ask you if you want nvidia-xconfig to run. Say no.
11. /usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard.sh
That will probably work... however...
12. If you get another failed to setup x, ctrl alt f1 or f2 and type sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo /usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard.sh
13. Let the wizard try and start, which always fails again...
14. Reboot into root terminal and repeat steps 9-11 exactly.
I don't know why... I only know it works for me on ALL nvidia 8 series.
*** as a side note, if a thumb is FORMATTED from vista, I have never been able to mount it in kubuntu/ubuntu. You can copy to and fro and it will work... but Vista does something weird in formatting. I have no idea what.
