Can't start "Graphics cards and Monitors" - log file attached
Last modified: 2005-11-07 09:33:24 UTC
The "Graphics cards and Monitors" section of YaST no longer functions on my computer. It worked for a while, not now it fails silently. /var/log/YaST shows: 2005-10-22 13:19:27 <1> linux(8015) [YCP] CommandLine.ycp:1141 ---------------------------------------- 2005-10-22 13:19:27 <1> linux(8015) [YCP] CommandLine.ycp:1142 Command line interface started 2005-10-22 13:19:27 <1> linux(8015) [wfm] Y2CCWFM.cc(createInLevel):153 Parsing finished 2005-10-22 13:19:27 <1> linux(8015) [Interpreter] clients/x11.ycp:47 Calling YaST client XMain (arguments: [true, true]) 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <1> linux(8015) [YCP] clients/XMain.ycp:47 SaX finished with exit code: <0> 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <1> linux(8015) [Interpreter] clients/x11.ycp:47 Called YaST client returned: `next 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <1> linux(8015) [YCP] clients/x11.ycp:51 Running displaymanager SuSEconfig module 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <2> linux(8015) [qt-ui] YQUI_core.cc(qMessageHandler):640 qt-warning: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <2> linux(8015) [qt-ui] YQUI_x11.cc(loadPredefinedQtTranslations):417 Can't load translations for predefined Qt dialogs from /usr/lib/qt3/translations/qt_en.qm 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <1> linux(8015) [qt-ui] YQUI_core.cc(processCommandLineArgs):214 Qt argument: qt 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <1> linux(8015) [qt-ui] YQUI_core.cc(calcDefaultSize):326 Default size: 1119x681 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <3> linux(8015) [Interpreter] clients/x11.ycp:113 Can't convert value 'true' to type 'symbol' 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <1> linux(8015) [wfm] WFMSubAgent.cc(~WFMSubAgent):41 Deleting SubAgent: 0 scr 2005-10-22 13:19:35 <1> linux(8015) [liby2] genericfrontend.cc(main):497 Finished YaST2 component 'y2base' My system is US english, with Gnome.

Stanlislav: Can you help here?
to solve your problem simply call sax2 from a shell instead of the control center. I assume this is the tty problem already solved but honestly; "It worked for a while, not now it fails silently" is not a report I can provide a fix for I don't have any clue what is going on here *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 117439 ***
What is at genericfrontend.cc line 497, which is causing the program to exit? You should know that I get the exact same failure when starting sax2 from a shell.
Hmm, genericfrontend.cc is code from liby2util. I don't know about that code it's not written by me. I think we are a bit off topic right now. The problem is that you cannot start sax2 is this correct ? If so please call: sax2 -r and send me the log file /var/log/SaX.log. You should know that sax2 has nothing to do with yast2. In principal these are two different applications whereas yast2 is using libsax for X11 related tasks Thanks
CAUGHT IT! Ok: it appears that sax2 got upset that I modified the xorg.conf file by myself. In such a case, it quits silently halfway through startup: bryce@linux:~> sax2 SaX: root Password: SaX: initializing done, using cache data... SaX: startup bryce@linux:~> Adding the "-r" flag causes sax2 to work. Log files attached.
Created attachment 56515 [details] Log from failed "sax2" startup. Run without -r flag.
Created attachment 56516 [details] xorg.conf that causes sax2 to fail (includes corrected modelline for SGI 1600SW). Modelines from http://www.xfree86.org/4.5.0/I1284.html See also
ok, I added a check for that, fixed Thanks for testing
