Title: 12X CORE64 Crash
Post by: grandma on June 08, 2021, 11:08:43 PM

I've used 3X 10X 11X - all 32 bit on a 64 bit laptop and figured I'd try 12X 64 bit.

It dies on boot with "failed in wait4x" message.

But it throws less memory/load errors until that point, only having a problem loading a wifi adapter rtl etc.

Any thoughts?

Are you trying to use Xfbdev or Xorg-7.7?

The "failed in waitforX" error means something the x server needs is missing - you can execute the first line of ~/.xsession for more information.

I don't want to be a "whiner" who does not follow your instructions so this can be debugged...

So I did a CAT on .xsession - peeled off the first line with %%*export and ran it and saw:

Code: [Select]

Error opening framebuffer /dev/fb0: No such device

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Being no fan of FLWM I decided to try loading JWM at a no windows terminal which worked and got the same error - in 9x 10x and 12x all 64 bit.

I have a DMESG to upload here but need to figure out how to do a CODE thingy and don't want to flood this post so perhaps you can ask for a specific dmesg section if that'll help.

Just do this:

Code: [Select]

dmesg > dmesg.txtThen attach the  dmesg.txt  file to your next post.

I tried to post it here - with the CODE feature and the TC FORUM SERVER threw an error...

So...I put the DMESG and entire post at our band web site at

I hope this helps. Thank you.

...this is a little crazy so I'll stop flooding this forum.

The link has it all at the band website

hthttp://burningwoodenleg.com?forrich (http://burningwoodenleg.com?forrich)

I didn't finish the 11X64 DMESG as your server threw an error even with the # comments so...

Any ideas on why I'm getting the error message - no TC64 Windows with FLWM or JWM is appreciated.

Hi grandma
First of all, you need to learn to follow directions. This is what I ask you to do:

Hi grandma
Just do this:

Code: [Select]

dmesg > dmesg.txtThen attach the  dmesg.txt  file to your next post.

Or call the file  dmesg10x64.txt  if you wish. Just make sure it is a  .txt  extension so my browser doesn't give me a
hard time when I try to open the file in a new tab.

To attach a file while posting, click the  Attachments and other options  link under the text box you type in.
Then:
1. Click the  Choose  button.
2. Navigate to the file.
3. Double click on the file name.
If you want to attach another file, click the  (more attachments)  link and go back to step #1.
Restrictions: 4 per post, maximum total size 192KB, maximum individual size 128KB

That means X is not running. You need either  Xorg-7.7  or  Xfbdev.

There is no 64 bit xvesa. Xvesa can only run in a 32 bit environment.

Agreed.

I'm going to remove most of your last 3 posts to lower the water table.

Thank you for pointing out an easier way - TWICE.

Let's see if I can "follow" a dozen words of instructions...heh heh ... sorry.

dmesg9x64.txt attached.
