AVLinux only finds one of three monitors

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

( It forces the system to use driver "fbdev" )


Edit: Oh, that may be there (automatically) for you used nomodeset .

Just delete, then boot without failsafe nomodeset.

No did not work same thing black screen. The file is back after rebooting with nomodeset.

At least out of curiosity (though they use the same parameters), what happens if you remove all parameters and keep just

ro quiet nosplash

and boot?

As a last test (assuming it fits to the other one by size and if you don't feel lazy)

You can clone it (the non-booting one) to another one (preferably that "SanDisk model: Ultra Fit size: 14.32 GiB" or another bigger sized one which's proven to work) on live session with "MX Live Usb Maker" ("Clone running live system") , then try to boot with the new one.

Did not work but I saw 'threadirqs' upon load it seems I was not able to remove that parameter.

You can clone it (the non-booting one)

Working on it.

Probably it'll be still the same.

You can try this:

When there are no above mentioned .conf files

Code: Select all

sudo update-initramfs -u

Reboot (saving changes and without failsafe nomodeset)


If still not:

Grab the /antiX/initrd.gz

from the one that's able to boot (overwrite) , try to boot without failsafe nomodeset .

(Of course you can first copy it to somewhere else, or just rename the existing one to initrd.gz.old if there is enough free space)

(P.S. When on live session it gets under /live/boot-dev/ so: /live/boot-dev/antiX/initrd.gz )

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Yes it's the same and after cloning I can only log in the demo account my user account seems to be disabled. I tried automatic login and password change but only demo works.

I am able to login from command line but startx can't find 'authorityx' or something.

... but startx can't find 'authorityx' or something.

.Xauthority

Still the same black screen. They are exactly the same size 9.3 mb maybe there is no change there ?

[Huckleberry Finn]

Yes, probably.

Just something, somewhere is causing that.

If you like, you can try to "move" manually:

Prepare that stick again (no clone, just a new AVL stick as before), boot with, then (if you like) make it again "persist_all" ...

Finally copy-paste (overwrite) from here to there: rootfs and homefs (from old to new)


(... Then if it becomes unbootable again, there's absolutely something with rootfs (but what?) )
