x not starting (old problem)
« on: November 12, 2010, 08:53:32 AM »
Hello,
I am using tinycore 2.9 because
1 - I experienced 3.2 has further delay at boot (during coloured verbose output it stops and awaits).
2 - it wants to load and backup sda1/tce while there is the "tce=sda6" option.
However the problem with 2.9 is that X does not start and XAUTH message is displayed or none so I have to hit ctrl-z and perform sudo chown -R tc:staff § (§ is another symbol,tilde, now I do not find it on my keyb) and then I have to type startx.
Well, I was said this was caused by a extension conflict but now I load some extensions just after WAITFORX command in .xsession, so why does it not start yet?
Thanks

What happens if you boot with parameters
Code: [Select]
base norestore ?

Wherever you pass your boot parameters to your bootloader.

You should not be loading extensions in .xsession.
