Initial boot problem with 9.0 on USB

<< < (2/3) > >>

BobC:
Thanks for the quick reply.  It looked like it deleted slim and installed lvdm ok, but after a reboot it goes to a black screen with blinking cursor.

I have to Ctrl-Alt-F4 to get to a console login.

I didn't find a log for Xorg in /var/log

Any ideas?  Can I try running it in VESA graphics mode?

Thierry:
It look like you have something wrong in your profile or in your /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf

Can you post here the content of your  /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf

BobC:
Thanks for the quick reply again.  Here is the file.  I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with lxdm.

BobC:
fanch,  At this point I think I'm installed, and my machine is quite similar, graphics and cpu, but can't get lxdm to run, because I don't see any log from Xorg, so therefore it never gets that far.

My guess would be the fancy graphics on my machine aren't working right with lxdm.

I don't know if there are any logs or clues left behind, but I've run out of ideas otherwise, and don't know what calls lxdm or how.

Thanks for everyone's help, maybe I should try it on a simpler machine.

Thierry:
Here are the logs you could check:


--- Code: ---sudo more /var/log/lxdm.log
more /var/log/Xorg.0.log
dmesg|more
--- End code ---
