It seems like it's a driver issue but i've never encountered that and i don't know where to start to fix this.

Hi, I can't see the error log you pasted...

please post it here in code tags.

I edited the post.

Did you install xserver-xorg-video-* package(s)?

Who is running startx; root or non-root?

shimarin · 2024-02-01 15:43:50

I didn't install the package, i assumed that it was already included in xorg like in the other distros i've used. I also tried running xorg both as root and as a user with sudo perms but it still doesn't work.

edit : i just checked again and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installed and up to date. I also tried booting with the other kernel (6. something) but it also didn't work

Is seatd really necessary?
If possible, I would delete everything and run devuan_daedalus_5.0.0_amd64_desktop-live.iso.
If everything is successful, install it on your hard drive. And then I would install the frills. Xfce itself can be removed with just one command if necessary.

shimarin · 2024-02-01 19:57:28

I honestly don't know if it's necessary. It came by default (i only installed the standard system utilities)

ralph.ronnquist · 2024-02-01 21:53:29

Could you tell what "fresh install of Devuan" means?
Which media did you use?
Which installer choices did you make?
What's your boot command line?

Would be good if I can replicate the issue; there have been similar Xorg crash reports before and possibly there's a common cause.

Yes, I thought that log looked familiar. This post has an almost identical log, with X crashing out after loading the glamoregl driver. In the earlier thread, the radeon driver was next in the backtrace, but this user has the nouveau driver next. The other user seemed to be having issues with Mesa.

I installed nothing but the standard system utilities and the packages mentioned above. I used a USB Key booted in DD mode (it's the only one that worked) and i boot my system in legacy mode with an uefi. I also didn't encrypt my drive.

What do you mean by "boot command line"? Do you want me to send you what appears on the command line before i get asked to login?

ralph.ronnquist · 2024-02-02 10:33:15

1. Install media. This would be the filename of the iso file that you used to install devuan from. Perhaps even the URL you used. If you have done "installed devuan" some other way than using an installation media, then you would need to descritbe that too. Only so that I can do the same.

2. When installing with the installer ISO it takes you through a series of dialogs. I was asking that you tell me what to do so I can get the same installation done.

3. The boot command line is found in /var/log/syslog as a line with the text "Kernel command line:" in. It would tell me the specific kernel arguments used when the system starts. Presumably you would have "the default" from your manner of installation, so this point is merely a way for me to be ensured that my test system from points 1 and 2 runs in the same way as yours.

So don't worry about point 3, but please make sure you are thorough about points 1 and 2.

https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr … nstall.iso

I used this exact mirror and i downloaded the latest amd64 netinstall iso. It also worked fine on my Virtual Machine.

I don't recall everything i did during the installation process, i chose the en keyboard layout, the german tier 1 mirror and i didn't encrypt the drives. I created a 256mo efi partition and a single 100Go EXT4 partition for storage.

chris2be8 · 2024-02-02 17:14:42

cat /proc/cmdline should also show the boot command line. On my system it matches the entry for the last boot in /var/log/syslog

ralph.ronnquist · 2024-02-02 21:37:14

@shimarin, thanks.

The initial step of that installer is a dialog with a menu of 8 options plus 'help'. You want me to guess that you used option '1 Install' (that's ok) and I can probably likewise guess from your outline for the handful of dialogs following; in particular that in the task selection dialog you unticked everything except the bottom one for standard utilities.

Eventually reboot into the installed system, which presents the login prompt on vt1.

So what's next? Login as root or user? And perhaps you can include the output of

grep ^Commandline /var/log/apt/history.log | grep -n ''

up to the point where you first ran into the Xorg issue.
