Hi all,

I'm upgrading a standalone R5.5 system to LinHES. Here's what i've done so far:

login as root
run: mythbackup
reboot into R6 cd
select AutoUpgrade
Selected mostly default options on the upgrade.
Upgrade completed successfully - reboot.
Black green screen on bootup. No frontend or backend.
Reboot 2 times.
Booted into frontend - backend is down no home directories were copied.
Switched to console <alt>-3 - logged in as root
run: mythrestore
Restore successful. no errors. my home directories are now restored.
No front end this time.
Reboot.
LinHES splash shows 100% complete but hangs on splash screen.
F2 to show details. Shows MediaServer started as last item.
<alt>-3 to console. login as root.
run: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Code:
Parse error on line 16 of section Files in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        "RgbPath" is not a valid keyword in this section.



is that significant? am i missing some modules or should that line be removed?

Yes, remove or comment out that line, it is not supported by the version of X that R6 uses. That was the only change I had to make to my xorg.conf when upgrading, but YMMV of course.

thanks paul. I commented the line but am still having errors:

any idea what type1 and record modules are?

I had similar errors that turned out to be a nVidia driver issue. Check the system logs to see if any other errors got logged outside of X when it tried to start. messages.log is where mine showed up I think.

If there's one about vmalloc failing then you will need to change the kernel boot options to set aside more memory. It's an easy fix... search these forums for 'vmalloc' for the exact details.

no errors about vmalloc failing.

I just tried rebooting for the hell of it and it booted into the frontend. There's a popup window with a message i cant quite make out (resolution on tv makes the text blurred).

alt-x doesnt work. cant bring up a command line. cant switch to other consoles. ssh works. any ideas?

edit: didnt boot into frontend. booted into X and shows the desktop and the popup error message.

Your xorg.conf looks like it is from your R5.5 system. R6 is based on arch linux and the xorg.conf file is not totally compatible. Usually what you need to do is just copy the Monitor Section, Device Section and Screen section of the r5.5 file over those sections in the r6 file.

Is your TV connected via the DVI connector?

Here is what I think happened with your install.
The auto upgrade didn't sense your tv properly and defaulted to the vga monitor, which maybe wasn't connected so you saw nothing. on the TV.

Running R6 mythrestore was a mistake. It assumed you had an R6 backup so it restored xorg.conf from your r5.5 backup - an incompatible file.

Two possible ways out. There should be a xorg.conf.install file that was the original one made by the r6 upgrade. You could take that file and copy the Monitor Section, Device Section and Screen section of the r5.5 file over those sections in the r6 file and make it the xorg.conf file and restart x with "pkill xinit". (by the way, after doing 4 "pkill xinit"s without a reboot in between will hang the frontend process. You can unhang it by "sv restart frontend" for 4 more tries)

If that doesn't work you could boot the R6 cd again and do another autoupgrade. Maybe with a vga monitor connected. That will create a new xorg.conf that r6 likes. If it doesn't recognize your tv properly you can then copy the Monitor Section, Device Section and Screen section of the r5.5 file over those sections in the new r6 file.

For some reason the r6 autoupgrade process does not copy home directories or create the user accounts associated with those directories. You can create those accounts during the autoupgrade process and then restore the directories later from the r5.5 backup, just don't use mythrestore because it restores too much.

I reran the R6 AutoUpgrade.

Because of the following errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Code:
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module type1
(II) UnloadModule: "type1"
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "kbd"


I went ahead and commented out the type1 module

Code:
Section "Module"
    Load           "dbe"
    Load           "extmod"
#    Load           "type1"
    Load           "freetype"
    Load           "glx"
EndSection


Now the only error is that it cant find the nvidia module. Anyone know where this driver should be located? It doesn't exist in my /usr/lib/xorg/modules directory:

just comment out "load type1" in xorg.conf. That error is not important.

The big one is
Code:
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)


My log file has this there:
Code:
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
   compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
   Module class: X.Org Video Driver
(II) LoadModule: "kbd"
If I look in this directory
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
I have a file named nvidia_drv.so that is 2Mb in size. Do you have that on your machine?

I don't know why your X isn't finding that module. Just shooting in the dark now. Maybe you need to install the nvidia drivers? But I think they should have already been there, unless your 6600GT was not detected.

what does the xorg.conf.install look like?
