Titel: LinuxTag2013-Dragonfire32-LXDE works only in tty !
need some help,
the KANOTIX-LinuxTag2013-Dragonfire32-LXDE live cd works good when booting using
the failsafe option, normal option leads to black screen have a white spots in bottom of the screen each spot like the electricity plug and a text box in the middle of the screen,
pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1 get into tty and work only in text mode,
I use failsafe to install to the harddisk, booting from the hd leads to the same issue , now i can not find the failsafe option in the hd installation, any suggestions ?

Must be a problem with your VGA card. Post while booted:
infobash -v

You run out oft memory, use at least 1 GB swap. Btw. you should try
nocompiz
as option and use a nightly image.

The swap partition already 1.6 GB, the RAM 487.5 MB ,
when enter this code:
swapon -s
it results:
Filename /dev/sda5
Type partition
Size 1550236
Used 0
Priority -1
which i think that the system not fill the RAM to need using of swap space !
I try nocompiz in grub menu as:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.9.0-2-generic root=UUID=3b49961f-0419-4af0-af49-a86b603502d7 ro quiet splash nocompiz
but the problem not solved yet ,
also i cant understand what do you mean by nightly image ?

Code:
nocompiz
is only a code for live-iso booting without compiz.
If you have done this before install the install will boot without compiz.
to disable compiz in install just
Code:
touch /home/user/.nocompiz

Try nocompiz in live, still problem
Try "touch /home/user/.nocompiz" in the hd install, still problem
Try to apt-get remove all compiz pakages, still problem
Try to code "startx" from the tty to init another window session , it solve the problem but only when looged as "root" in the tty, this give me a new graphical session i reach when pressing ctrl-alt-f8 , and a strange happens:
the old session which belong to normal user which reach through ctrl+alt+f7 it fix itself now !
ok, i run lxrandr and choose low resolution then saving it , then reboot, the configuration
saved but this not helped in solve the black screen and the white spots all what happed is the spots and mouse cursor bacame bigger !
Now both sessions work good only when log as root and code "startx" every time i reboot the machine .
it seems not a compiz nor high resolution problem, it seems a priviliges problem.
However i think this is good , atleast i can use kanotix now until i can
download a new nightly image (maybe solve the issue) , sorry my connection download it in 6 days using a download manager.
Thanks all

Thats absolutely weird, did you burn a dvd?
saber - 24.05.2014, 09:56 Uhr
Titel:
No, I burn a cd not dvd
and before burning i check the downloaded iso with md5, it was ok.
today i reinstall kanotix from cd and not check the option of auto login, when x starts i can't see
the login box but i still type as i see it, i enter user name as root and enter its password then it
starts good without the need of the tty, but it starts in a default x session not lxd session nor openbox session.

I dont think your cd is correctly burnt. In case you burnt in DAO mode, you can verify
md5sum -b /dev/sr0
and compare the md5sum to the iso. Best burn as slow as possible like 8x. Use iso from
http://nightly.kanotix.acritox.com/latest/
Boot with nocompiz and best use
sudo swapon /dev/sda5
even live. Wie do not test with so few memory usually.

the md5 sum is ok in cd it is
cea3edba62a713d143395e8eace3f107
same as the iso file md5sum cea3edba62a713d143395e8eace3f107

after i download the most recent builded image i will test all this,
atleast i can use kanotix now , the last three postings i post them from kanotix .
thanks kano

Should be fine with a current ISO without compiz.
