[SOLVED] Trouble with x-org

I was working in a vm on my install and had accidentally written way too large of a file that broke some things on my install… clearing my root directory and clearing my Pac-Man cache has not given me any headway. Any pointers or logs that may lead me in the direction I need to be are much appreciated.

xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: server error

I have tried some things from this Arch thread as well with no results: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276032

That is all pretty vague!

Broke things, Tried things.

What else is broken apart from starting X ?
What things have you tried?
There's no point anyone suggesting "try this" only to get lots of "Done that".

How do you start X ?
Post Xorg.log.0

Whichever file is more recent of:
~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Apologies, I am not used to using termux and w3m and vim as I am a zoomer, I had lost hope in restoring since those were the things that I had always done in the past when having trouble logging in. Startx just runs usually right when I login…

I had my VM fixed and everything before I powered down last night and woke up and turned on my machine this morning to the startx issue… In my efforts to fix my VM I had cleared my pacman cache and root directory, as well as of course cleared out some of the filesystem of the virtual machine itself.

Just tried this and still nothing when I try to startx, which drivers would one install for a 3070 lite hashrate card? I am trying to understand the docs here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA but am having a hard time interpreting… sorry if I am committing sin by trying to use Arch docs but I don’t know where else to look in regards to getting the correct drivers installed.

From the log it doesn't look like any attempt is made to load the nvidia driver.

What is the output of
Code: [Select]
lsmod | grep nvidia
and
Code: [Select]
pacman -Qs nvidia
Also from the log it seems you have an lts kernel
Output of
Code: [Select]
uname -a
If you want to try something while waiting for a reply try installing nvidia-dkms
Which will replace the normal nvidia driver. (You need to reboot after installing)

I did install dkms as well and that also did not work, I will try these things later on as I will not have access to this machine for a few hours.

So when I attempt to install dkms, I get the following errors:

Am I going to have to just re-install? Or is there a way to go about troubleshooting the drivers, feeling really shell brained on this...

Re: Trouble with x-org

Reply #9 –
At this point I am feeling as though I have exhausted my options, I have attempted reinstalling xorg-server along with all of its dependencies, checking with pacman -Qm yields no results for installed drivers after attempting to reinstall nvidia-lts along with, installing linux-lts-headers yielded no results as well... any and all tips greatly appreciated, as I can not wrap my head around what it is that I might be missing here.

I really feel burnt out on this issue, and am not sure what it is that I am doing wrong as I migrated from Manjaro and have not had any experience with Gentoo or OpenRC, although I feel as though I have taken all of the steps that I can reasonably come up with, and I think that this area of the forum might be the place that people have the tricks that work? If there is some link or thread that there is that I am missing I would greatly appreciate a shove in the right direction.

Make sure you are fully up to date. Also give nvidia-dkms a try.

You need to install linux-headers or the correct variant for your kernel (i.e. linux-zen-headers if you use linux-zen) for dkms

This worked, I feel really stupid, must have just been tired last night, TYSM. I was looking at this log last night too and wondering why it was that it seemed that I could install the drivers but they were not appearing correctly.
