Control: tag -1 pending Hi,

Using a serial console I was able to get a shell, and to try and start Xorg manually, which resulted in a symbol error: | Xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fbdev_drv.so: undefined symbol: shadowUpdatePackedWeak Michel Dänzer kindly pointed to this bug report against the fbdev driver, which is fixed upstream in 0.5.0: https://bugs.debian.org/900613 I've merged the new upstream release locally and rebuilt d-i against it, and I've verified the bug fix is OK; meanwhile, Julien uploaded the new upstream release: https://tracker.debian.org/news/963445/accepted-xserver-xorg-video-fbdev-1050-1-source-into-unstable/ Keeping this bug report open for the time being, until the fbdev driver migrates to testing, so that I don't try to upload d-i too soon… Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
