When I re-booted my HP MicroServer into CentOS-7.2 I was given a text console.

Do you use a custom xorg.conf, or custom xorg.conf.d files ?

Closing log file.As these logs have "info" level (II), there is no real problem for xorg. Sylvain CANOINE. Pensez ENVIRONNEMENT : n'imprimer que si ncessaire

Opensource Ati driver, ou proprietary blobs ?Thank you for your interest. I am running CentOS-7 installed from CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1503.iso and later upgraded to CentOS-7.2. The only packages I have installed have been from CentOS and Epel repos. I'm sure the ATI Radeon driver is open-source. The Radeon firmware comes from the kernel-firmware package - I don't know if any of that is proprietary? There is no xorg.conf file, I assume this is replaced by /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/* . I'm attaching Xorg.0.log - I don't know if that is allowed here? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin
Timothy Murphy wrote:> When I re-booted my HP MicroServer into CentOS-7.2 > I was given a text console.I found the solution in the end, I think from a hint dropped by Johnny Hughes. I was missing a number of KDE packages, I'm not sure why. But when I ran "sudo yum install kde-workspace" there were a couple of dependency conflicts. I managed to overcome these by yum-removing 2 packages, and then re-installing kde-workspace filled the gaps. As a precaution, I ran "sudo yum distro-sync" which for some reason downgraded a dozen packages. After that I re-booted into CentOS-7.2 and was given the desired graphic console. I think I probably overlooked an error message that came up when I updated the system remotely. (The server was in another country.) Thanks for all the suggestions I received. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin
