Bug#888513: huge graphical bug

2018-01-30 Thread melissa M. 
Hi maintainers.

I found a solution for the bug.

It is necessary to disable the option "fast boot" in the bios.
And place the usb ports in the first position in the boot menu.
This allows the live usb to run correctly with a beautiful view.

Even if I don't understand too, it is the only solution that I have found.
An effective workaround with a few manipulations ;)

Remember to re-enable the quick start after the installation of Debian,
otherwise, the network no longer works.
here, too, I find it odd, but this is what I found.

The bug can be closed.
Thank you.

Regards.

2018-01-26 Thread melissa M. 
thank you for help

unfortunately no parameter fixes the bug...

vga=normal fb=false
has no effect also

My case is desperate, I think..

sorry for the version and severity..
I didn't know the exact version.
sorry :/

If there is no change, there must be an error in passing the kernel arg,
how do you pass them?

vga=normal fb=false


Isn't vga=* deprecated?


I don't know, but with syslinux it does have the effect of keeping a
very trivial text mode. Probably grub has some kind of such option.

What I don't understand is how to emulate vga=* that is accepted by 
grub2 and supported by the Debian installer.

should get you to a pure textmode, there's no way you can get the split
image you sent to the bug, or your graphic card is *seriously* broken if
it can't even properly display pure text.

Hi melissa,

and thanks for your report.

I'm adjusting version and severity with the commands above. While this
is a grave issue for you, that only affects one particular equipment and
doesn't make d-i unusable for everyone else.

Does it happen in both graphical and text mode install?

There is documentation about it in the help screen of the boot menu.

Package: debian-installer

Severity: grave

hi maintainer,

big graphical bug with the installer netinstall of Debian Stretch 9.3, but
also Testing and Sid.

Ditto with the installer mini iso-Stretch 9.3

I created my bootable usb drive with "dd", unetbootin, etcher, but the big
graphical bug still present :(

I have a laptop pc Toshiba Satellite P870-338 with the Optimus technology
(graphics chipset intel i7 3630qm and nvidia GT 630m) with a bios 100% uefi

this is the screen that I get with the installer, it is impossible to
install in these conditions.
http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1516915180.jpg

I think I might be an isolated case, but I still haven't found solution to
resolve this bug very annoying.

the bug has been present since two years...

is there a workaround ??
a parameter to pass to the kernel ??

this bug est present on the mini iso, and the iso netinstall (testing,
stable and sid). :'(

please consider my bug report.
