release 4.0 login [SOLVED]

Post#1 by djp2018 » 18 Aug 2018, 18:34

Hi Everybody
I've tried repeatedly to login on the porteus release 4.0 but nothing works; guest/guest, root/toor, root/root, etc
I'ver burned the iso twice from different mirrors.
When I use guest/guest or root/toor, ther screen blanks, a blue bar appears at the top of the screen with bits of tiny writing in it, then the screen blanks again and goes back to login.
would appreciate a solution please.

Hi djp2018.

1) What is model of your video card?
2) Can you try this iso Porteus-XFCE-v4.0-dev-x86_64.iso?
3) Can you provide log of these commands

Code: Select all

su
toor
uname -a
lspci -nnk | grep -i 'vga\|gpu\|amd\|radeon\|nvidia'
dmesg | grep -i "warning\|error\|failed"
?

Thanks.

Hi Blaze
Tx for the speedy resaponse, much appreciated.
2 x NVIDIA GTX 970 in sli.
I've tried the different iso, now after guest or root attempted login I get the pretty beach picture before it flashes back to the login screen again.
As a linux newbie, where/how would I run that code???
During boot, there is a load of lines before a command login prompt, then something like usr/.../xauth appears which is then followed by an error.
It all runs by so fast....
If I try to use that command prompt to login as guest or root, the usr/...xauth commnad appears anyway
TIA

I've experienced the login loop before. I just don't remember the solution. :(

To your boot command add a " 3" to the end (without the quotes, and keep the space). That will boot you to the text mode. Signon then enter "startx" (without the quotes) and see what that does.

As for your being a linux newbie, so was I when I started. Welcome to the group. :)

djp2018, yep, you can try 'Text mode'
Image

Type these commands:

Code: Select all

guest
guest
script /tmp/my1.log
startx
If you will see the login screen again press on your keyboard Ctrl+Alt+F1 and run this command:

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log >> /tmp/my2.log
dmesg | egrep -i "warning|error|failed" > /tmp/my3.log
and copy /tmp/my1.log, /tmp/my2.log and /tmp/my3.log via

Code: Select all

mc
command to you USB flash drive /mnt/path/to/your/usb/flash/drive
after this you can share your logs in this topic.

Tx - please continue to be kind to me...
I can get the blue porteus screen above by pressing tab.
I somehow eventually selected Text Mode !
Eventually I end up at the command prompt.
I can login in as guest type in the script command, but startx is not allowed to run.
The following and other stuff appears;
/usr/bin/startx : line 159: hostname : command not found
then some stuff about xauth.

So I exit login as root, run the script, boot continues, get to the beach scene, then a blank screen, then the blue bar across the top which looks like it has text all squashed up in it in places.

I can't do anything else so have to remove the cdrom and reboot back into windows to get back to here... :)

Hi djp2018,
if unset one card NVIDIA GTX 970 and try to boot Porteus - all ok or the same story?
I think you can compile driver for your nvidia card (not in sli mode - on the one video card) - look at my manual here (Russian topic) and after this you can use SLI with nvidia driver.

I have my2 and my3 logs. If it was a test I hope I have passed ;-)
The my2 log is big. Do I copy and paste them or can I upload the files?
TIA

Have you tried using the xfce4 desktop? Does the same happen? It looks like nouveau driver just isn't cutting it for your graphics card. Also various segfaults in the KDE/QT libraries. I'd first look at how this Porteus was installed.
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

Some work, some don't. :lol:

No. Different builders, different DEs, different addons. Some DEs require addons included in other DEs.

If you have the time, try all the different flavours/DEs, see which ones you like, see which ones work for you. Personally I like Cinnamon. :)
