f13-login problem

[green-cat-fed]

hi,
just preupgraded to f13_64. i did not see any installation problems :). But unfortunately i can not log in to f13 :( using gui. If i give pass then system does something and returns me login screen again. I have nvidia graphics card. Following is the error in /var/log/messages file.
note: please ignore typo mistakes because i am writing this from another machine..
localhost kdm :0[2039] Fatal X server IO error: Interrupted system call

in my system im using kmod-nvidia, and during boot nvidia boot looks ok.
pls help me, i am confused :confused:, last preupgrade from F11->F12 had no problems like that..
Thanks

When I have performed preupgrade but not F13 the preupgrade did not pull any 3rd party packages eg: rpmfusion so you would not of been able to get the nvidia packagesfor the F13 kernel.

I have been using nouveau and the experimental drivers on 2 f13 installs one with a 9500GT and the other GeForce 6200. They both work fine.

EDIT: if you are getting to a graphical login screen then you may be having other issues besides the kmod stuff.

hi im able to get nvidia packages. i have kmod-nvidia packages. may be the problem is related to kde..
can anybody give some thoughts? my graphics card is nvidia 9500GT. I have tried to launch from console startx, following is the errro info:
ksmserver: smybol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000027gl

I am waiting for 24hours, does anybody has any clue? is everything working after preupgrade ro fedora13 for all?
thanks for any further reply..

Can you boot up in run level 3 then login as root (su -) and use vi to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and change the driver from nvidia to nouveau or vesa log out as root then startx an see if you get a desktop.

Hi Ryptyde,

I cannot find /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Fedora 13 ! How can I add one to modify it as such?

There are 2 ways that I know of.

The one I didn't test it yet.
su -
system-config-display --noui

And the other one that I did test.

su -
init 3
login as root again
cd /etc/X11
Xorg -configure
exit
init 5

Hi BugRocks1,

I tried both methods but no luck. Both gave the error "no command found or something to that effect".
The /etc/X11 shows only 3 items but does not include xorg. Using init 3 after login as root I get the error " retrigger failed udev events"

I used to copy an old xorg.conf file using a live USBstick in F12. Since I am testing F13 using VMware Workstation I cannot do this. There must be an easier way!

dear all ,
i worked around problem. its all about KDE. what i found is that kde has problems.
I have spaces and i have done the followings:

su -c "yum groupinstall 'Gnome Desktop Environment'"

now i have Gnome and after login i can continue to work.:)
Solution is don't use KDE now until fixed..

[green-cat-fed]

again a work around. i have set the following and now i can login to KDE desktop, here are the following changes:
ln -s /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so.195.36.24
after this solution my KDE login works, but i get segmentation fault during boot. But still i can login to KDE..i dont why this is happening. my be somebody can help us who wants to use KDE.
May be fedora dest not bother about KDE..may be i am wrong..but i am confused why dont we receive any solution yet Fedora13. i wonder if anybody can login the KDE using Fedora13 and with graphics card NVIDIA.:confused:

Hi,

I'm facing quite the same problem.
I've tried 4 or 5 time to install fedora 13 XFCE on 2 different computer (not tested gnome neither kde) ... but I've never been able to login. when I enter my password in gdm, the computer seems to be working and I'm sent back to the login screen :-( I can't even see the desktop.

When I look at /var/log/messages I see errors regarding launch of gnome session... cannot launch gnome-power-manager.desktop application ... but I don't understand these errors as I just want xfce, no gnome.

how can I start xfce ? is there a replacement for gdm ?

Thanks,

Guillaume

i had same problem with 9800GT, but i was reinstalled nvidia driver and reconfigured xorg.conf. this is not KDE -s problem just you have problem with /usr/lib64/libGL.so
