No mouse or keyboard after upgrade [Solved]

[dunsurfin]

Yesterday's update of x11 packages has left my x86 macine without a working input system. Both mouse and keyboard work up until x starts to load and then nothing (I have to do a hard shutdown).
SL 8 K x86 fully updated, kernel 3.2 (but still with esound installed)

Edit: Forgot to mention that it's a Logitech darkfield wireless mouse and a Logitech wireless keyboard.

It will help if someone can tell me how to keep the boot process in verbose mode - it seems to switch back to graphics after a second or so of verbose.

My amd64 system hasn't been troubled by this.

which xorg-server you have installed? xorg-server needs corresponding drivers so if it upgraded or downgraded without them, than stuff won't work. You should be able to ssh in or chroot via live disk in to see what is up

X.Org X Server 1.11.3 which was installed on 24/1/12 and hasn't caused any problems until yesterday. Xorg.0.log of today shows this error which may point the way.:

[wolfden]

yea,but did entropy install the updated driver revisions for xorg 1.10? You need to downgrade you xorg-server to match if so.

Xorg and drivers must be in sync, just like Kernel and Drivers need to be in sync. The equo update should of downgraded xorg-server and the drivers.

right, see how the drivers are bumped, but your xorg-server still on 1.11.3, you need 1.10 to work with those drivers

[batvink]

It will help if someone can tell me how to keep the boot process in verbose mode - it seems to switch back to graphics after a second or so of verbose.

maybe it's not the proper way, but i don't know how else...

as root:

Code: Select all

nano -w /boot/grub/grub.cfg

find the menuentry, and go to the linux kernel line.
change:

Code: Select all

linux   /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.2.0-sabayon ro  init=/linuxrc splash=silent,theme:sabayon etc etc etc

into:

Code: Select all

linux   /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.2.0-sabayon ro  init=/linuxrc splash=verbose,theme:sabayon

save: CTRL-o (or F3), and exit nano editor: CTRL-x (or F2)
This will keep the boot process in verbose mode, but when upgrading the kernel or update grub, you have to manually edit the file again, 'cause it's overwritten.

As xorg-server concern: downgrading xorg to 1.10 is indeed the only way to get your Keyboard/mouse functioning again.
If you have masked "x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.3" and/or x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.11" ,
remove those lines from "/etc/entropy/packages/package.mask" ,
followed by "equo update && equo upgrade --ask"

[dunsurfin]

Thanks for the information about getting a fully verbose mode batvink.
I don't have xorg-server masked and am going to use chroot (hopefully) to downgrade.

[dunsurfin]

I now have my mouse and keyboard back by using chroot with a live disk and installing xorg-server-1.10.4. Thank you to Wolfden and batvink.
Despite having a working system again I am not marking this as "solved" as there is still a problem somewhere. Equo update, equo update --force and equo upgrade insisted that all was well (I had to specify the package to install it) and now entropy wants to remove xorg-server-1.10.4 and reinstall 1.11.3.

[batvink]

here on my system, "xorg-server-1.11.3" is gone from Entropy, using sabayonlinux.org repo.
you didn't altered "package.mask" at all, right?
What exactly did you do, when chrooted.....
maybe it helps reinstalling entropy:

Code: Select all

equo install entropy equo --relaxed

i'm on "sys-apps/entropy-1.0_rc85"
and then:

Code: Select all

equo upgrade --pretend

to see if it still wants to upgrade to 1.11.3
