Xorg.0.log from kernel without problem
Here are the six requested files.
OK. For some reason the nouveau kernel module is not being loaded on the system. If you do a manual "modprobe nouveau" and restart X do things start normally? I am uncertain what I should do to restart X but doing a modprobe nouveau followed by rebooting doesn't change anything. Okay, lsmod | grep nouveau shows nothing, but after modprobe nouveau it does appear. I logout and at the login screen I select "restart x server". Now when I login lsmod does show nouveau, but the resolution of the screen is still wrong (too low). This seems mostly fixed now. The problem seems due to a failed attempt to install the nvidia driver. I removed one file that blacklisted nouveau, which did not seem to change things but maybe was necessary. I then deleted the file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf. After doing this, when I reboot the fedora bubble in the middle of the screen is too large (as was happening when the nouveau module was not being loaded), and there is a wide horizontal stripe of dots near the top of the screen, but apart from these artifacts everything seems to be correct now. This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
