| 316198 | 2005-01-20 20:38:00 | My computer: AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.4ghz, 256mb RAM, FIC AN11 mobo, 40gb HDD, CD Writer. I have tried to install Ark Linux, which went relatively successfully (except for the fact that the mouse dies after I select the language). While booting the first time, it boots to a command line, and if I leave it for a while, it comes up with an error about the X system and then saying "loading modules: failed". I login using the default username, but that keeps me in the command line mode, and I cannot get into a GUI. Typing "startx" brings up an error "no screens found". I am trying to reinstall again to see what will happen, but does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is? (Chill??) |

| 316199 | 2005-01-20 20:46:00 | It takes a while when first loading CUPS, it creates a printer driver index. First boot is always the longest in Ark, but it quickens up What modules does it fail on? You could always try xf86config to make a new config file Im pretty sure they added in a reservation that'll save 5MB in /tmp so that X can always start.... They were going to. Chill. |

| 316200 | 2005-01-20 21:49:00 | Sorry - I have a 2gb hdd not a 40gb hdd. It gets to a stage where it says "x respawning too fast", and then terminates it for 5 minutes. After that it says "Loading Modules:" stays there for a few seconds and then says "failed". It does not mention what modules are failing. Hitting enter brings me to a login prompt. There are some other errors earlier in the bootup process which I didn't quite manage to see, but I think it mentions something about the hard drive being full. Maybe the 3gb minimum requirement is a real requirement, not just something which is there for the sake of it..... |

| 316202 | 2005-01-21 00:39:00 | Hit F2 and see..... I would say its pretty likely they're for real. I'll ask in #arklinux on freenode later and confirm when I get home tonight. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 316203 | 2005-01-21 00:40:00 | Thanks Chill - yeah, I hit F2 to see the "verbose mode" where I saw the errors, but they were going through too fast for me to actually catch what they were. I also accidentally found Topologilinux http://www.topologilinux.com/ - have you tried it before? |
