Title: Update from 4 to 5.2: Xorg not starting
Post by: floppy on March 09, 2014, 04:36:26 PM

Hello,
for the reason my usb_modeswitch did not work anymore on my samsung nc10, I decided today to upgrade to 5.2 (from 4.7).
At boot, during the load of the tczs, 2 similar errors appear
"umount: cant umount /tmp/tcloop/Xorg-7.7-lib:operation not permitted" and later
"umount.. .. Xorg-7.7: operation not permitted"
And xorg is not working. My xorg.conf should be perhaps deleted from the backup?
Is something special to be done for the upgrade from xorg7.6 to 7.7 ?

Take a look at the release notes here:

Hmm, I get the same messages, though X does work for me.
I made a fresh install for 5.2, should I still 'delete' X related extensions and redownload them?
I don't see anything else stated in the release notes that might be related to this.

Do you have the Xorg extensions set to copy2fs?

I don't remember ever trying copy2fs.
How could I check?

Next to onboot.lst, do you have a copy2fs.flg or copy2fs.lst file?

Nope, neither any file with .flg extension nor a copy2fs.lst file.

Then we have a bug in extension loading, it should not be unmounting.

Fixed, should be in 5.3. The umount was correct (they are meta-extensions now), but it missed sudo.

@floppy: Your issue is not related to the umount error. Please post your xorg log.

curaga,
would you mind telling what files need to be changed?

I'd like to add a  sudo  myself to get rid of the error message until version 5.3 arrives.
Editing core.gz is no problem. Thanks.
