xorg corrupted

jellywerker · 2005-12-18 22:37:54

It seems the latest xorg in current (i tried 3 servers) is corrupted. I downloaded it 4 times, all 4 times the package was corrupt, any idea why?

Snowman · 2005-12-18 22:47:00

Have you tried deleting the package from your cache and/or changing mirror?

EDIT: Have you tried getting the package directly from ftp.archlinux.org instead of a mirror?

ozar · 2005-12-18 22:47:50

Have you tried deleting the corrupt file from cache before doing the download again?

Dusty · 2005-12-18 22:48:43

did you delete the package from the cache between downloading?

nah, I did see both the previous posts, its just funny how quick people are to reply around here :-D

hehe, Snowman... I think we are on the same wave length.

oops... Dusty, too!

jellywerker · 2005-12-18 23:18:47

Yes, I did both, I'll try a direct download though, but I'm guessing it's broken too, as it's the package the mirrors are made from right?

jellywerker · 2005-12-18 23:47:58

replying from lynx here, it still doesn't work, the arch servers seems corrupted too, must be my connection or something I guess.

Dusty · 2005-12-19 00:34:22

no, somebody else mentioned a corrupted X to me, but I think they got it working.... this is very odd.

hmm, after some fiddline with servers and such I got it working, it downloaded as corrupted, and I forgot to -Scc between -S xorg's, and it installed, but now when I exit x with ctrl+alt+backspace, it goes to a screen of garbled colors. I can' still type commands, and they respond, but I can't see them or anything.

Dusty · 2005-12-19 02:28:41

oooh
type 'reset<enter>' and see if that helps.

This is all so cool. :-)

Dusty

jellywerker · 2005-12-19 02:52:20

reset doesn't help.

edit: perhaps fresh install (again...) as I haven't done anything worthwhile yet?

Dusty · 2005-12-19 02:53:27

woooo! Does clear work?

you might have to swear at it a little too.

neither work, something is screwy. I'm going to reinstall (I love how you can install a working arch base in under 5min )

Snarkout · 2005-12-19 04:45:42

This is very strange. I did a fresh install friday night (using the 7.1-pre iso) and everything installed fine. I don't see a new xorg waiting for me, either, which makes it difficult for me to believe that it's broken unless it's been corrupted since friday night/sat morning. It is strange, though, to say the least.

jellywerker · 2005-12-19 05:04:49

I am installing from the wombat iso. Like I said, I think it's my connection, but are you getting any garbled colors? I wonder if it will be fixed by the fresh install I did, if not, I'll paly around in xorg.conf.

paranoos · 2005-12-19 07:51:58

i get a garbled screen when i use a high resolution framebuffer console. unloading X usually triggers the problem. so i just stick with the standard console.

jellywerker · 2005-12-19 16:21:15

so would I remove the vga-773 in my menu.lst? I did notice that my console was much higher res than my last install, how do I change it?

Yeah, give that a try. Though 791 is working fine on my systems.

jellywerker · 2005-12-19 21:26:31

what res is 791?

jellywerker · 2005-12-20 04:24:21

hmm, it seems nvidia is doing the weirness, without nvidia drivers i can ctrl-alt-backspace out of x fine, with it it goes to the garbled colors. I did some fiddling with modules and it doesn't seem related to them. Perhaps a corrupt driver or an incompatibility between the new .14 kernel?
