Hi all,
My gf has an AlienWare with a GTX1080 that refused to startx lately. Sometimes it started, sometimes it didn't. Work around was to start Linux without graphical mode by adding the 3 in the grub kernel line and then after login type startx. I was hoping new updates would resolve this.
Today the laptop received the latest kernel for Leap 15.1 and also the latest NVidia G05 driver 440.82-lp151.25.1
Now it refused to start xorg at all. I can't get it to start. It gives the following errors:
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
![]()
Ofc this happens at the worst possible time, where the machine is used for a Python class based internet course :(
The machine does have intel GPU on the CPU, but this can only turned on (as far as I know) via a DELL support tool on Windows, which is never ever touched except for Bios updates and AlienWare light changes. So the BIOS setting is still on NVIDIA.
