Hi team Mageia Description of problem: Since 1 week, Mageia Cauldon can't start X.

Hi, I confirm this issue, same here on my Cauldron for x86_64 in a VB. Since I have updated my Cauldron yesterday I get this issue. Probably an xorg or vbox driver problem.

I think it's a problem with VirtualBox Video Driver. I have Video if I made that : urpme x11-driver-video-vboxvideo and install vbox additions from official image downloaded from Oracle Website.
Assignee: bugsquad => tmb
Source RPM: x11-driver-video-vboxvideo => virtualbox-5.0.18-1.mga6.src.rpm (x11-driver-video-vboxvideo)
Summary: X won't start => X won't start in VirtualBox
Hi, I had the same problem and found a solution by searching on the web: I had to remove "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file (actually, I moved that file into "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.save"). Best regards, Nico.

Could one of you provide a diff between /etc/X11/xorg.conf.save and /etc/X11/xorg.conf? That might help narrow down the issue.
I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file anymore (mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.save).
Ah, I assume a new one would be initialized when booting, but I guess nowadays Xorg can boot without this file.
OK. mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old => solve the problem. And [root@localhost ~]# LANG=C diff -rus /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old /etc/X11/xorg.conf diff: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory

It happens with both 6sta1 x86-64 and 6st1 i586 VMs.
(In reply to Nicolas Salguero from comment #6) > I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file anymore (mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.save). I can confirm that moving away the file fixes the problam in 6sta1 i586 Classic DVD. However, after that I have a problem that the networking does not work until I do "service shorewall stop" as root.
Hi, Thanks for the tip (mv /etc/X11...) to get X to start. For the network issue, another workaround is to go to the Network center, configure the connection, and allow users to manage it. Then I disconnect and reconnect it. And the network is up.

I've encountered the same issue. Installing from Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso into VirtualBox results in a system with broken Xorg configuration. The file Xorg.0.log shows some errors. $ grep EE Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [ 1040.289] (EE) Failed to load module "vboxmouse" (module does not exist, 0) [ 1040.308] (EE) No devices detected.

[ 1040.310] (EE) Executing "Xorg -configure" and then trying to execute "Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new" also fails. Removing the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then executing "startx" starts Xorg for a few seconds but then terminates without showing the desktop. Executing "Xorg" starts Xorg and then to start Plasma I execute "DISPLAY=:0 startkde". Will attach the following files: xorg.conf.install - config file generated during installation xorg.conf.new - config file generated by "Xorg -configure" Xorg.0.log.install - log file of "Xorg -config xorg.conf.install" Xorg.0.log.new - log file of "Xorg -config xorg.conf.new" Xorg.0.log.noconfig - log fine of "Xorg" without config file.

Woow, this issue still exists when booting Mageia 6 sta1 Netinstall that I installed yesterday evening in a VM (VESA driver, 1024x768px). Screenshot upon first boot after install : http://pic.al/sHd Solved as per comment #4.

Sometimes the "nomodeset" option on the kernel command line helps too. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 18724 ***
