I installed debian on an old PC i686. I chose the mate desktop. When I tried to log in throught display manager I could not, so:
I closed X down with telinit 3 I logged in on the console as root I ran xinit -- :0 I switched to a non root user in the xterm window on the display I typed export DISPLAY=:0 I ran mate-session X crashed with a segmentation fault The backtrace is on the console so I cannot cut and paste it. It says it is in Xorg at _start+0x31 What can I do? Perhaps use a different xserver. The display driver is nouveau.
