some warnings i want to get cleared up

theringmaster · 2007-09-18 13:50:11

Most of the warning (not really errors) in /var/log/xorg.o.log. A majority of them are font directory related. Lets see what we can do with them.

theringmaster an easier way to display the warnings and errors is

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW
cat /var/log/X0rg.0.log | grep EE

Well, these two you really don't need our help with, just read the file:

(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi".
        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi").
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi".
        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi").
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic".
        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic").

Try running mkfontdir where it tells you to.

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/PEX" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/latex-ttf-fonts" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/defoma/CID" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/defoma/TrueType" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.

Those directories don't exist in your system - take them out of your xorg.conf.

(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

I don't know how to disable ACPI in X, but another way to get rid of this is to run acpid - it's got a startup daemon in /etc/rc.d

(WW) Option "XkbLayout" requires an string value
(WW) Option "XkbVariant" requires an string value

What do these options look like in your xorg.conf?

(WW) NVIDIA(0): UBB is incompatible with the Composite extension.  Disabling
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     UBB.

I searched the exact error message in google. The fourth result was this page: http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86 … dix-d.html

That page tells you how to configure your card. Since the message says UBB is incompatible with the composite extension, you have three options:
1) Ignore the warning
2) Explicitly disable UBB in your conf file with

Option "UBB" "false"

in your nvidia device section
3) stop using composite.

No offense, but you could have made it easier on us by reading the messages yourself and trying to fix them before pasting your entire log here and expecting us to do all the work. I found that nvidia stuff with no prior knowledge of nvidia's config options, and the rest of the warnings are pretty self-explanatory.

What a horrible commands... Those should be replaced by these:

grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log

For these it should be OK just to comment out the XkbLayout and XkbVariant from xorg.conf "InputDevice" section, or you can specify XkbLayout to look something like this

        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"

and comment XkbVariant out - well, unless you have some unusual keyboard, or if your keyboard is not functioning properly somehow (google for possible values in that case).

And those could be replaced by

grep "EE\|WW" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
