X not starting up on Asus 1215p [solved]

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 08:14:39

Hello fellow archers,
I tried setting up Xorg on my brand new 64-bit netbook and I got the following errors:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory
(EE) No devices detected

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I should also add that it is intel atom n570 with intel 3150 graphic card on board which, according to intel website, is supported. Also, the file exists. I tried using configuration file instead of autodetection of devices (as described in arch wiki), but it changed nothing.

When doing X -configure the errors I get are:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no clue how to solve that.

The current kernel is 2.6.39 - updating would be my first step...

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 08:26:07

I only have wireless connection where I am now, so I need to chroot from ubuntu to arch (I don't run X from inside chroot;) ). However,

pacman -Suy

yields

there is nothing to do

. Do I need to compile my own kernel?

jasonwryan · 2011-06-15 08:28:34

Not yet. I'd try an up-to-date mirror first

http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/

karol · 2011-06-15 08:29:56

Did you reboot after updating the kernel?

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 08:33:36

@karol: I rebooted at least 10 times since.
@jasonwryan: I chose

http://mirror.devnu11.net/archlinux/

(which does not exist in mirrorlist by default, weird) but pacman responds in the same manner.
Also, uname -r gives:

2.6.32-28-generic

//EDIT: Uname output.

Uncomment a couple of other active mirrors and

pacman -Syyu

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 08:42:24

No luck (I have uncommented/added top10). You do know I am running 64-bit version?

jasonwryan · 2011-06-15 08:45:46

Yes. Paste your pacman.conf for us to take a look at...

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 08:51:42

My pacman.conf should be here: http://pastebin.com/irH60FYF
And mirrorlist here: http://pastebin.com/SmDHhJgf

jasonwryan · 2011-06-15 09:01:30

Last card I have. Paste

pacman -Syu --debug

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 09:08:01

It's longer than my terminal cache, so here you go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1106133/out
Dropbox doesn't respond in my case, so here is a link to scribd: http://www.scribd.com/doc/57905739/Out

I can always get kernel-netbook or zen-kernel, it shouldn't take long.

//EDIT: Scribd link
//EDIT: A note that there was an edit

I'm stumped. According to pacman you are up-to-date. But for x64 in Testing your kernel should be 2.6.39.1-1
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/kernel26/

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 09:34:40

That's just a Pauli effect;)
Should I continue and get a kernel from aur?

jasonwryan · 2011-06-15 09:40:09

My sense would be to try and solve the underlying issue. Your machine isn't up-to-date and--for a rolling release--that is bad.

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 09:48:24

However, I guess we have no idea as to what is happening. Of course if you need any of my files, feel free to request.

litemotiv · 2011-06-15 09:49:05

mkawalec, did you install the -lts kernel before, and/or have multiple kernels listed in grub?

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 09:51:34

No, the only thing I did was to do

pacman -Suy

after install and to install Xorg. And I have just one kernel in grub.

jasonwryan · 2011-06-15 09:54:27

You know it is Syu, right?

Also, try the manual method for checking a mirror https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mi … ror_status

Find one that has the current Testing kernel and sync with that...

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 09:58:34

It doesn't really matter, does it?
I will try getting the 'right' mirrors after I am done with compiling the kernel, but I am quite sure it will not help, as I already have most up to date mirrors in my mirrorlist.

//EDIT: Still up to date, according to pacman.

This is a stretch, but it almost sounds like you accidentally installed some Ubuntu updates to your Arch partition, or vice versa..

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 10:05:11

That's impossible, I wasn't updating this ubuntu, as it is a live-usb. Maybe I could delete all the data pacman has and Suy again?

In that case i would download the latest Archboot ISO and install from scratch.

mkawalec · 2011-06-15 10:10:28

But that's exactly what I did (twice to be exact) - I have installed arch from scratch and got the above in both cases.

uname -r should definitely not look like this:

Looks like a Ubuntu kernel in your Arch install. uname -r should return something like 2.6.39-ARCH.
