Hi Hans, so the radeon driver seems to work but maybe needs some tweaking. 1) Let's have a look at Xorg.0.log. grep -i chipset /var/log/Xorg.0.log grep -i render /var/log/Xorg.0.log (Maybe, append the file to your message) 2) Is there a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf? 3) Take a look at the man-page of "radeon" (man radeon) Regards, jvp.

Maybe. There is probably a good reason but the consistent 24 hour lag between a message and a response from you is not exactly motivating.

Re: Problems with upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie
Hans Kraus composed on 2016-10-02 17:59 (UTC+0200): I upgraded my Debian server about a week ago from Wheezy to Jessie. After that the GUI stopped, I see only the grey screen with the sad computer telling me " Oh no, Something is Wrong" and the only option is to log out. I'm using Gnome as my desktop. I installed the package again with: apt-get install task-gnome-desktop I did not get any error message, but that didn't cure my problem. Afterwards I tried: "dpkg --configure -a". Again, I didn't get any error message but that didn't cure my problem. I rebooted the system several times but with no avail. Which info should I provide and/or where should I check my system for errors? The text based login via ssh (I use Putty from Win 8.1) functions without problems. From https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Installation "If you are doing a distribution upgrade, you should at the very least remove all the nvidia packages from wheezy, get your desktop working with nouveau, then reinstall the nvidia packages if there is a pressing reason." So, clearly, distribution upgrading provides booby traps for the unwary upgrader. There's no similar mention on the corresponding AMD page for upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie. However, there was this warning from https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary : "Debian 8 "Jessie" AMD Catalyst 14.9 For support of Radeon R9 200, Radeon R7 200, Radeon HD 8000, Radeon HD 7000, Radeon HD 6000 and Radeon HD 5000 series GPUs (supported devices). This driver is incompatible with the GNOME desktop, as it does not support the EGL interface. It is recommended to use the free radeon driver instead. " So clearly, if you wish to continue with Gnome, you need to purge all traces of fglrx from your system before you can expect any FOSS AMD driver to function with Gnome. Once that is done, an AMD driver should work automatically with your Turks XT 7670 gfxchip. If it doesn't, then you might consider to purge xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon, and install xserver-xorg-video-modesetting (if it isn't already), which should result in modesetting driver use automatically. It's built directly into the server in Testing and Unstable. This suggests why to use modesetting: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item=Ubuntu-Debian-Abandon-Intel-DDX -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Re: : Problems with upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie
Hi, I also saw the other e-mail exchange with Brian where you concluded to purge all "fglrx"-related packages. Similarily, there seem to be "nvidia" packages on your system. Try dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia Purge them also. Then have a look which xorg-video drivers are left: dpkg -l | grep xorg-video Leave only xserver-xorg-video-radeon on the system. And have a look if there's still an "glx-alternative" package left, like glx-alternative-mesa. This could also be purged. Regards, jvp.

Gnome has rarely worked well other than the now obsolete fallback mode or whatever they called it. i've been running testing/sid though too which is up to version 1.16 of MATE. i think 1.14 or 1.12 is more stable. looks like from recent discussion they are trying to get 1.18 into the next stable release, but i'm not sure they'll be able to make it under the freeze deadlines. songbird

You have highlighted > (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) This is an interesting line in the log. Why should using a radeon card give such a message? What has radeon to do with nvidia? It could be a logging error but why does it occur? xorg has sorted out which card is present. Incidentally, we know X comes up for the OP (gnome-session runs. Without X it wouldn't). So this may not be the problem at all. glxinfo | grep render is a good command for the OP to run. We would be interested in its output. However, perhaps the OP could look at dpkg -l | grep nvidia and purge any packages if anything nvidia related is in its output. -- Brian.

Apologies; my remark was made too hastily. Firstly, it was not the complete message (as we have seen). Secondly, there can be two differently worded messages depending on whether gnome-session or gnome-shell is involved. -- Brian.

Ok, this appears to be a GNOME-specific error message. Could you restart the computer, try to log in, wait until that message pops up, don't close the message, switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and run the following command as root? journalctl -b1 -n40 _UID=1000 (Replace 1000 with your user id, you can look it via running id in the console as your normal user; 1000 is the default for the first user created by the Debian installer.)

Re: Problems with upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie
Hi, thank's for your sppedy reaction. With "gui stopped" I mean the following: After the boot process, instead of the graphical login screen where one can select the user, enter the password and do some selections, the following screen appears: A pic of a sad computer with the text (the first line is in bold): === Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem occurred and the system can't recover.

Some people have computers upon which they have successfully performed operating system in-place major version upgrades; some boast of several such upgrades over many years. I didn't have much success with this early on, so I pursued the KISS approach instead. I have invested in learning and resources that allow me to do image, backup, archive, wipe, install, configure, restore, migrate, test, commissioning, and cut-over processes. I find it helpful to: 1. Have a dedicated hardware firewall/ router appliance. 2. Have more than one computer, each dedicate to one purpose: a. File server. b. Backup, archive, and imaging. c. Workstation or laptop (one user each). d. Other, as needed. 3. Use HDD/SSD mobile racks. 4. Maintain a supply of spare parts, including a spare computer that can substitute for any of #2. It sounds like you have put yourself into a disaster recovery situation. I'd advise restoring the Wheezy server, building a fresh Jessie server, migrating the services and data, testing thoroughly, and making a decision. David

It doesn't look hardware related because X comes up and you get what is known as the "fail whale" (and a most informative and helpful message :) ). Also difficult because what you had personally configured on Wheezy is unknown. So we'll try a thing or two. No guarantees. Disable logging in with gdm3 with systemctl set-default multi-user.target You can reverse this with systemctl set-default graphical.target Make sure you have xinit installed ('dpkg -l xinit') and reboot. Log in and run 'startx'. Over to you. -- Brian.

Problems with upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie
Hi, I upgraded my Debian server about a week ago from Wheezy to Jessie. After that the GUI stopped, I see only the grey screen with the sad computer telling me " Oh no, Something is Wrong" and the only option is to log out. I'm using Gnome as my desktop. I installed the package again with: apt-get install task-gnome-desktop I did not get any error message, but that didn't cure my problem. Afterwards I tried: "dpkg --configure -a". Again, I didn't get any error message but that didn't cure my problem. I rebooted the system several times but with no avail. Which info should I provide and/or where should I check my system for errors? The text based login via ssh (I use Putty from Win 8.1) functions without problems. Kind regards, Hans

gdm3 doesn't work any more after the upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie 8.5
Hello, We used during 2 years Gnome and gdm3 on a server with Debian Wheezy to let users work from their Windows PC via Cygwin and xlaunch (xdmcp). It worked well till the upgrade to Jessie, for these Windows PC, as for the system console, a very simple terminal. The migration has been done a few days ago after a last upgrade of Wheezy and a verification that our server was OK, including connection features. The dist-upgrade has not been perfect: here are the last lines of the process: ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso5.bin for module tg3 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin for module tg3 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3.bin for module tg3 Traitement des actions différées (« triggers ») pour sgml-base (1.26+nmu4) ... Traitement des actions différées (« triggers ») pour menu (2.1.47) ... Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution : tex-common E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) dpkg --audit gives me a list of 149 packages with the half-configurated status. Among them: libpam-ldap:amd64, libpam-mount, xorg, xserver-xorg. I have launched manually 'dpk -configure' for all of them and reinstalled tex-common. Now dpkg --audit returns nothing. I have not yet done apt-get autoremove to eliminate the packages the have become useless. During the upgrade I have installed the new version of /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf, /etc/init.d/gdm3 and got [ ok ] Scheduling reload of GNOME Display Manager configuration: gdm3. After the migration it has been possible during the 3 first days to open sometimes a gnome session but with many problems, several minutes to get the users' list, and again a long time, up to 10 minutes, to get the gnome window. Once displayed, the desk was fully functional, but the whole process, from the launch of cygwin was much too long and uncertain (we could also never get the connexion window with the list of users). It has never been possible to lock or close properly a session and to get again the connection window. I have reinstalled some packages, including gdm3, searched similar situations on the web, verified the configuration in /etc/gdm3 or /etc/pam.d, compared with the files we had with Wheezy, rebooted the server, as carefully and cautiously as I could, but without the least improvement.

upgrade from wheezy to jessie
Hello, usually when the distribution changes, I update my system rather than reinstall everything. But for the transition from wheezy to jessie, I would like to know: -1- Is it possible to go from wheezy to jessie, keeping sysvinit. -2- if not, from what I read on the internet, go from sysvinit to systemd is not without risk. What about it exactly? (I would say that I am not concerned whether sytemd is better or worse than sysvinit. I'm not proficient enough ...) tia. -- Gerard ___ *** * Created with mutt 1.5.21-6.2+deb7u2 * * under Debian Linux WHEEZY version 7.7 * * Registered Linux User #388243 * * https://Linuxcounter.net * *** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

If I understand what I read on the web (in English ...) it may be that my machine will not boot if I do not do the job well. The sysvinit package is on a Wheezy system. It will be upgraded to https://packages.debian.org/jessie/sysvinit This package depends on init, which is an essential package that pulls in the default init system. Starting with jessie, this will be systemd on Linux. It facilitates a smooth transition and provides a fallback SysV init binary which can be used to boot the system via the init=/lib/sysvinit/init kernel command line parameter in case the system fails to start after the switch to systemd. The fallback SysV init binary has been thoughtfully provided to cater for the situation you are concerned about. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Aw: Re: Re: GUI fails after upgrade from wheezy to jessie
Hi Hans, I purged whole X, kdm, gdm3, xfdestop4, lxde and finally also twm. After reinstalling lxde GUI login now works. However, auto-adjusting the resoltion with an external monitor does not work. Using lxrandr helps, therefore I consider this problem as fixed. The only three FN+ XX keys working are the ones to decrease / increase screen brightness and to put the pc into sleep mode. By using xev I noticed that the other keys do not generate any event. The scripts which this keys should execute are in /usr/share/acpi-support/eeepc-acpi-scripts and at least vga-toogle.sh and volume.sh work perfectly fine when executed manually. Therefore, I assume that they are not executed when the keys are pressed. Additionally, I found out that the eeepc-laptop kernel module (referenced here https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Configure#Power_management_.26_hotkeys) is not loaded and I cannot load it manually. # modprobe eeepc-laptop gives: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert eeepc_laptop: No such device # uname -a gives: Linux eeepc 3.14-2-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.14.15-2 (2014-08-09) i686 GNU/Linux I checked that the module exists.

September 2014, 10:15:36 schrieb Hans Heider: Hi Hans, thank you for sharing your ideas. I used apt-get dist-upgrade for my upgrade from wheezy to jessie. Kernel command line in grub does not have any vga= options. I removed gdm3 and x11-session from /etc/init.rd/ but somehow Xorg still got started. Cannot image how/why? Hmm, that should not be. Check, if there is any other loginmanager active in init.d. Search at kdm, gdm and lightdm. Just remove all of them. Maybe you might want to deinstall all of them. I suggest, to purge them, too. (either aptitude purge packagename or apt-get --purge packagename) Apropos purging: the comman aptitude purge ~c purges all configurations of all deinstalled packages and libs. So these do not interfere. Can you see the output, when you do startx as root from the prompt? There should appear some messages. Regarding the first problem: - As lxde was already installed, I additionally installed xfce. However, this did not change the situation at all. - Afterwards, I installed kdm as a replacement for gdm3 (not uninstalled) - problem partly solved! Yes, kdm is working also fine. But for testing purposes move it away from /etc/init.d/, just like gdm. No more kernel faults and window manager now shows up soon after X is started. However, two less critical problems persist: * screen resolution is strange (not using whole screen) and I cannot select usage of different monitors via EeePC FN + XX keys any more. Hmm, this should work. Did you install the package eeepc-acpi-scripts? If yes, look at the configuration of it. Note: FN + Space, FN + F6 do not work after reboot. They are working again, when you did a dpkg-reconfigure eeepc-acpi- scripts - until next reboot. I sent a bugreport, but still no one cared. All this worked fine in wheezy. * nm-applet does not work properly, message like Policy Kit authorization failed: challenge needed for org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Device.Control are diplayed. I will try to use information from Network-manager is not woorking very well on an EEEPC. I suggest to change to wicd. If you want to use a GSM-card, try umtsmon. It is an old qt4-package, but working very very well. I am no coder, but I tried to change it to use qt5, but still got no success.

To help others with similar problem I will report the result. Does the FN + XX-key combination work for you? Regarding second problem: - still exists, could not find a workaround Regarding third problem: - after running apt-get remove lilypond lilypond-doc lilypond-doc-html - problem solved! Yours, Try also apt-get autoremove, and if you know, what you are doing, you can also try orphaner. This will remove a lot of crap from your system.

Aw: Re: GUI fails after upgrade from wheezy to jessie
Hi Hans, thank you for sharing your ideas. I used apt-get dist-upgrade for my upgrade from wheezy to jessie. Kernel command line in grub does not have any vga= options. I removed gdm3 and x11-session from /etc/init.rd/ but somehow Xorg still got started. Cannot image how/why? Regarding the first problem: - As lxde was already installed, I additionally installed xfce. However, this did not change the situation at all. - Afterwards, I installed kdm as a replacement for gdm3 (not uninstalled) - problem partly solved! No more kernel faults and window manager now shows up soon after X is started. However, two less critical problems persist: * screen resolution is strange (not using whole screen) and I cannot select usage of different monitors via EeePC FN + XX keys any more. All this worked fine in wheezy. * nm-applet does not work properly, message like Policy Kit authorization failed: challenge needed for org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Device.Control are diplayed. I will try to use information from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/display_manager and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180025 to fix it as soon as I have time for it. To help others with similar problem I will report the result. Does the FN + XX-key combination work for you? Regarding second problem: - still exists, could not find a workaround Regarding third problem: - after running apt-get remove lilypond lilypond-doc lilypond-doc-html - problem solved!

Yours, Hans Hi Hans, I am running Jessie on an netbook EEEPC 1005HAG, which is an atom processor and an Intel 945 graphics chip. It is running very well. So let me try to help. First, check out, that during upgrade no needed packages were uninstalled. This mostly when using aptitude. For upgrade I still prefer apt-get dist- upgrade. Later you can finetune with aptitude. Second, do not use any vga= option in grub. For this hardware, I got best results in letting the kernel decide, which resolution to use. Otherwise you might get in trouble with X. Third, just for trying, install some other window manager, I suggest LXDE. It is fast and stable. Fourth, for testing purposes, remove /etc/init.d/gdm and /etc/init.d/kdm somewhere else. Doing so, X is not started automatically. But you can start X with the commad startx in the commandline as root. So you can see, if errors appear, and what really happens. If everything is running fine later, you can just rem,ove the files back. Fifth, again, just for testing purposes, you can install grub-legacy. On this older system I am quite happy with it. However, some people will now say, it does not have any effects on X - and they may be right. I hope, this will help a little, to find the reason for the problem. Good

Check, if there is any other loginmanager active in init.d. Search at kdm, gdm and lightdm. Just remove all of them. Maybe you might want to deinstall all of them. I suggest, to purge them, too. (either aptitude purge packagename or apt-get --purge packagename) Apropos purging: the comman aptitude purge ~c purges all configurations of all deinstalled packages and libs. So these do not interfere. Can you see the output, when you do startx as root from the prompt? There should appear some messages. Regarding the first problem: - As lxde was already installed, I additionally installed xfce. However, this did not change the situation at all. - Afterwards, I installed kdm as a replacement for gdm3 (not uninstalled) - problem partly solved! Yes, kdm is working also fine. But for testing purposes move it away from /etc/init.d/, just like gdm. No more kernel faults and window manager now shows up soon after X is started. However, two less critical problems persist: * screen resolution is strange (not using whole screen) and I cannot select usage of different monitors via EeePC FN + XX keys any more. Hmm, this should work. Did you install the package eeepc-acpi-scripts? If yes, look at the configuration of it. Note: FN + Space, FN + F6 do not work after reboot. They are working again, when you did a dpkg-reconfigure eeepc-acpi- scripts - until next reboot. I sent a bugreport, but still no one cared. All this worked fine in wheezy. * nm-applet does not work properly, message like Policy Kit authorization failed: challenge needed for org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Device.Control are diplayed. I will try to use information from Network-manager is not woorking very well on an EEEPC. I suggest to change to wicd. If you want to use a GSM-card, try umtsmon.

This is expected if X is not running. :) My graphics card is: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series And heres what is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: … [50.219] Loading extension GLX [50.219] (II) LoadModule: fglrx [50.219] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so [50.231] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: noXFree86DRIExtension http://askubuntu.com/questions/203232/?
