New Xorg updates have borked my Liqourix setup

VastOne

I just did a dist-upgrade and allowed it all to run... On my Liquorix boot, I get a login prompt and no X at all...  I have tried all my known magic and have yet to get X to load...  Including reinstalling the drivers via smxi, removing xorg.conf and wiping clean all kernel parameters on boot

This is a Nvidia machine, BTW

I ran the same updates on Debian Stock kernels and have not seen the issue

Just wanted to let you all know and be wary... I will keep you posted of any new developments

Thanks VastOne. I was just about to update. You saved me some reinstall time Im sure

Edit:

Because Im a masochist I decided to let all the updates install and then rebooted with no problem.

I should also note that this is on

3.9-10.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64


and the Nvidia beta driver


Edit #2

I did just notice that Chromium is doing what I posted about a while ago, it crashes and kills Fluxbox.

Definitely a bug in X-org. My machine is up and running but not totally stable.

Nvidia settings crashed on my so I ran it with

sudo nvidia-settings --sync

and this is the error I get when it crashes

luke@vsido-fx:~$ sudo nvidia-settings --sync
The program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 781 error_code 3 request_code 137 minor_code 4)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Ill run updates again tomorrow and see if we get a fix for this.

Yes they have.
I had to unwind it last night.
I got kernel panics on boot (on another distro) which I suppose was due to plymouth, X, Nvidia or a combination of them.

I have done all I can to resolve this on my main partition to no avail...

I have tried plain nouveau... fail

I have tried debian-nvidia... fail

I have installed the debian 3.10 kernel... fail with all combinations of Xorg drivers ... fail

I have moved to another partition and ran all updates with no issues at all

Hopefully an update will hit soon to resolve

I ran the dist-upgrade on my HP i3 laptop, intel video, custom compiled 3.9.9 kernel.

No issues to date.

It appears to be nVidia only?  Liquorix only?

Strange one indeed, yes...

What is the current liquorix kernel version?

When I tried to install the nvidia drivers (from their site) for the 3.10.0 kernel (custom compile) on my debian testing desktop, it was a major fail. I didn't try to install with smxi. I ended up going with the 3.9.9 kernel and nvidia installed fine. It's an older nvidia card, 7-series.

Long story short, I'm thinking nvidia doesn't work too well with newer xorg or kernels.

Ummm Im not sure the exact kernel version for Liquorix but I am on the newest and via smxi the drivers install perfect (before last nights update). If you had nouveau installed then its normal for the install to fail. Just run the install again.

I black list the nouveau drivers, boot to console, install the nvidia drivers - no smxi.

Any time I update the kernel, I get to do that little song and dance. It was the method to use for slackware and I just kept doing it for debian.

Latest Liquorix kernel is at 3.9-1

This used to happen every time there was an Xorg update 2-3 years ago but nVidia got a lot better with their delivery... I am sure it is a nVidia issue and a new driver will correct it soon enough

In the meantime, I am enjoying this VSIDO setup with Debians 3.10-1... Memory is low, CPU usage is low and no spikes in CPU or MEM while mouse usage or scrolling that DID pop back up with the liquorix kernel.  I am using stock Debian vid drivers and everything seems to be completely functional, no issues at all.  Long story short is that I will most likely stay with this setup

As a wrap on this, I did not wait for the fix to come... I had everything on this drive backed up via fsarchiver and I restored it and stayed with the Debian kernel

A long way around to get back to ground zero, but nothing was lost in the end... (except my patience!)

I still had the original kernel installed from my install so I just dropped back to

3.9-1-amd64


and then reinstalled nvidia via smxi.

X-org seems back to normal now.
