Re: Installing a Desktop Environment, Display Manager

Pacman uninstalled nvidia-390xx and installed nvidia-390xx-dkms. however, There was an installation error.
Code: [Select]
==> Unable to install module nvidia/390.132 for kernel *: Missing kernel headers.

Here I saw that I probably need the linux-headers package. When pacman installed  linux-headers-5.6.6.artix1-1 I got this error:
Code: [Select]
==> Unable to install module nvidia/390.132 for kernel 5.6.6-artix1-1: Missing kernel modules tree.

How do I get that kernel modules tree and what is it?

ok, i will make linux-headers optional. This installation will works only with installed 'linux' and 'linux-headers'. Good point!

but works:

(2/3) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install nvidia/390.132 -k 5.6.6-artix1-1
==> dkms install nvidia/390.132 -k 5.6.7-zen1-1-zen
(3/3) Updating linux initcpios..

I reinstalled the linux package, it seems that it did something good:
Code: [Select]
(2/3) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install nvidia/390.132 -k 5.6.6-artix1-1
(3/3) linux initcpios...
...

I did not get any output about linux-zen. Anyway, I tried xinit again, but it still cannot initialize the nvidia kernel module

so why you builded driver for 5.6.6??

If you updated your system to 5.6.6, you must restart computer  :o

Re: Installing a Desktop Environment, Display Manager

Sorry, I forgot that.  :-[  I'm still not too familiar with linux. After reboot, uname -r reported 5.6.6-artix1-1.

I then reinstalled nvidia-390xx-dkms, which also removed and reinstalled the DKMS modules
Quote
==> dkms install nvidia-390.132 -k 5.6.6-artix1-1

I rebooted again, just in case. Still no nvidia in /dev directory.

Xinit started LXQt, but it did not find any default Window Manager. I'll have to look into it later. Now I have to tend to my daily job.

put here X.org.log

try use "noveau" driver instead -

Re: Installing a Desktop Environment, Display Manager

I think the nvidia drivers are working ok, so far. I would keep them for the moment. When I executed xinit, xorg rendered a graphical UI in 1920x1080 which asked me to pick a default window manager. So I think this is a lxqt configuration error, that it somehow did not find openbox.

I selected openbox as default window manager. Since then, when I start xinit, I don't get this question anymore, I end up with a black screen and a mouse cursor with which opens a context menu (Applications/System/Log Out). I can switch to tty1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and abort xinit by Ctrl-C.

So I think Linux can now render GUI with my old nvidia card. From here on I should somehow setup lxqt, lightdm, and the lightdm-webkit2-greeter (litarvan theme).

Here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log after I aborted the xinit in tty1:

There is some information about ACPI not starting. I think that is also something I should look into, but it may be off-topic here.

Re: Installing a Desktop Environment, Display Manager

Reply #40 –
Now when Xorg and openbox are able to run, I tried to start lxqt  by "startlxqt". writes this error:

Quote
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Aborted.

However, I think this is just a follow-up error. This is the /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

We already did that days ago:

Ok, I installed lightdm-runit and also installed lightdm-webkit-theme-litarvan

I edited the lightdm.conf to use lightdm-webkit-theme-litarvan as greeter session.

I also told runit about the lightdm service:
Code: [Select]
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/lightdm /run/runit/service/

Runit knows about lightdm. When I reboot the laptop, lightdm does not start. I get the login prompt in tty1. lightdm produces this /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log which says "failed to find session configuration lightdm-gtk-greeter", but I don't know where he gets the idea to load the gtk-greeter when I have specified the lightdm-webkit2-greeter in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
