Alrighty, I've posted an update to the PPA for folks to test. https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/lp982889/
As before, it looks like i386 has built, but amd64 is having some troubles - I've restarted it and hope it'll build by morning. Those of you on amd64 who are comfortable building packages locally may want to just grab the .dsc and roll your own .debs. Otherwise, hopefully the PPA will rebuild amd64 by tomorrow. Maarten Lankhorst theorized that the failure to 'reset' may be because we need to forcefully set xserver as master of the DRM, so this patch adds a call to drmSetMaster(). Unfortunately, with the limited testing we've done so far we did not see this as truly fixing the bug. Maarten believes plymouth may not be handing the drm off properly, and has been roughing up a plymouth patch to try to investigate that angle. Anyway, along with the drmSetMaster() call, I've done a rewrite of the patch, to make the logic a bit more presentable. I also knocked the timeout down to 2 seconds. So, worst case, for those of you suffering from this bug, this PPA should give you a slightly faster boot and otherwise no change in behavior. I've verified on my own (non-bugged) hardware that at least the xserver boots up and works properly in the non-bugged case. For those of you wanting to do more testing on this issue, one thing to try is disable plymouth completely. It seems that simply specifying nosplash on the kernel command line is insufficient to fully disable plymouth, and it's thought that perhaps this may account for why some people found the same troubles even though they turned the splash screen off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982889 Title: X trying to start before plymouth has finished using the drm driver Status in “libdrm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: X server fails to start the first time after boot, it works fine when I start it again. Looks like a race condition with intel drm initialization, i guess X tries to start faster than drm driver is initialized so it fails.
