[Solved] cant start X server

Hello everyone,

after i wanted to upgrade my system, i was told that there might be a conflict between xf86-video-intel and glamour-egl. I still chose to make the upgrade, which since then denies me to open my desktop environment. In the /var/log/pacman.conf i see the lines

removed glamor-egl
removed xf86-video-intel

when i try to start my lxde via

startx

i get some lines:

...
(==) Log FILE: "/home/lizzy/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log", Time...
(==) Using config directory: "etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(=) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.al/share/corg/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

what can i do? thanks for your help!

Re: [Solved] cant start X server

Did you read the front page news?
What's in the log? What's in your ~/.xinitrc?

Re: [Solved] cant start X server

well yeah, i saw that post! still not sure how to fix it. my .xinitrc looks as follows:

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
        [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
fi


eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg,okcs11,secrets,ssh)
export GPG_AGENT_INFO SSH_AUTH_SOCK
exec startlxde

do you need the Xorg or the pacman log?

Re: [Solved] cant start X server

There's no conflict between xf86-video-intel and glamor-egl.

The glamor acceleration architecture has been included in xorg-server 1.16, so there's no need for separate glamor-egl.
That's why glamor-egl conflicts with xorg-server-1.16. When you upgraded, pacman should've automatically removed glamor-egl for you.

However you still need xf86-video-intel to be able to use your intel video card. No wonder X fails to start if you removed it.

Of course! that was stupid, i blocked upgrading xf86-video-intel because of other conflicts, but through this upgrade it was removed and obviously hasent been reinstalled then. Thanks a lot!
