[solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged

Hi there.

I was setting my keyboard to be us_intl (as described here).
I added the following to ~/.fluxbox/startup:

setxkbmap us -variant intl &

Worked fine... but what I was wanting a different mapping so I changed it back to just US. Now when I run startx, I just get a blank screen. I didn't change anything else in any config file between when now and when it was working and I have changed that line back to what it reads above. No dice.
I turned on logging with fluxbox and the log is not being written to, so something pretty strange has gone wrong.
I see no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but here it is:

Re: [solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged

This is my .xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

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

exec startfluxbox 

This is ~/.fluxbox/startup:

/bin/sh

# Set background image.
feh --bg-scale '/home/brian/.fluxbox/wall.jpg'

# Start fluxbox 
exec fluxbox -log "/home/brian/.fluxbox/current.log"

Re: [solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged

And to clarify, when I run startx, it goes to a black screen and then nada. I have to ctrl+alt+bksp to get out of it.

Re: [solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged

fluxbox -log   has never written much to file just the fact that fluxbox started so don't expect much from it...
Have you logged out/in or rebooted?
Do you have a ~/.xsession-errors file? Might be something useful in that
It does seem strange that changing keyboard settings brings about a blank screen, there may be typos somewhere.


You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

Re: [solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged

Yeah. I wasn't expecting much from the fluxbox log, but the fact that it isn't writing means that it appears that fluxbox isn't even trying to launch. When I try to start fluxbox from the commandline with startfluxbox, I get an error that it cannot connect to the X server (which I assume is normal).
There isn't an ~/.session-errors file, unfortunately.

Re: [solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged

Have you tried executing a simpler start up sequence.  Then you could build it back up to your current set up until you isolate the problem.

What would be a simpler way to start up X?

A simpler way would be to start xterm for instance - in your ~/.xinitrc:

exec xterm

That way you can see if it's fluxbox that is causing the trouble. And by the way your ~/.fluxbox/startup should read this (assuming it's not a typo in the first line there):

#!/bin/sh

# Set background image.
feh --bg-scale '/home/brian/.fluxbox/wall.jpg'

# Start fluxbox 
exec fluxbox -log "/home/brian/.fluxbox/current.log"

Re: [solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged

@roygbiv

I feel like a complete moron. Thank you so much. I cannot believe that it was that stupid of a mistake. I had originally commented out the first line under the #! line and I stupidly must have deleted the #!

I honestly cannot believe it was that dumb, but I really appreciate you pointing that out.

Also, once you know X works, you can then try just starting fluxbox "exec fluxbox", without the startfluxbox script.  Comment out the conditional statement also.  If that works, then it is either the startfluxbox or the conditional.

Edit: Looks like you got it fixed.  congrats.
