[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
I have a Lenovo S540 with a Radeon HD8670M and installed Ubuntu 14.04, after reading this bug I was convinced I had the same problem. Booting with nomodeset in the boot options enabled unity to load with all kernels. I installed kernel 3.14.1-031401-generic _and_ fglrx and now I'm able to boot into unity. Without fglrx still a blank screen, I can't attach the logs but it appeared that X tried to load fglrx when it wasn't installed.. Hope it helps.. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264835 Title: Low graphic mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1264835/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
Okey, I 've had exactly the same problem with OpenMandriva( Beta worked, RC didn't work), so I filled bug on their bugzilla and this is conclusion. OpenMandriva developer said I should try to run some commands resp. add some commands in to boot. Here is what happened. alt+ctrl+f1= nothing i915.invert_brightness=1 = Nothing xorg.blacklist= intel = nothing xorg.blacklist= ati = works xorg.blacklist= intel +nomodeset = works xorg.blacklist= ati+nomodeset = works nomodeset itself without additional commands=works Here is his reaction: It's not to much of a mystery now. It is to do with the plymouth bootsplash and kernel graphics mode setting. Basically what is happening is that plymouth is initialising graphics on the intel chip and then xorg is auto-detecting the ati adapter and switching to that. Because the the drm kernel modules are already loaded for the Intel hardware the ati driver cannot unload them and thus the ati hardware does not get it's kernel module drivers loaded which basically comes down to the fact that you get a black screen. It worked in the beta because we were loading the uvesa frame buffer driver but that caused problems with other cards. Currently automated graphics detection is a bit of a minefield to say the least!! For the moment it probably best that you add one of the working configs that you have tested to the default boot line as I described.

[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
nomodeset? The last Radeon driver to support UMS was xf86-video-ati 6.14.6, released in late June 2012. UMS support was removed from the Intel graphics driver (I'm still wondering if you have hybrid graphics - lspci -vvnn would tell us) in xf86-video-intel 2.10.0, released in early January 2010. Radeon UMS was subsequently also deprecated in the kernel in the 3.9 kernel. Something else is going on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264835 Title: Low graphic mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1264835/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
Ok, it looks like you do indeed have hybrid graphics, so that could be the issue - support for support for DRM PRIME rendering was introduced after precise. It is mostly working now but is still being enhanced. If you have a second display connector try using that and see if it works. Or maybe you just need the support for newer memory controller microcode on your AMD Radeon HD 8670M Oland GPU which will be in the upstream 3.15-rc2 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264835 Title: Low graphic mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1264835/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
Unfortunately I do not have second display connector and trust me, I've no problem to wait for newer kernel or for point one release or 14.10. It's just really weird, that Beta 2 worked well. Beta 2 booted nicely right in to live enviroment, I was really happy about that because Ubuntu is my favourite distro and I wasn't able to install last two releases... and final release of 14.04 doesn' t work. That's one thing I don'get. I mean, I don't think that so much work was done during beta2-final release period on the kernel side- it was still 3.13 right? But I have this problem almost with every distro only with one change, instead of low graphic mode prompt I get black screen. Only distro which works right away is Manjaro thanks to their MHWD and for now, Opensuse 13.2 development branch. Even OpenMandriva 2014 beta worked well and RC1 gives me black screen... maybe I am just lucky guy :).

[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
If there is nothing on the screen after booting, you are probably experiencing a kernel DRM issue. Support for your Solar System (HD 8xxxM) series graphics hardware has been refined in the 3.13 kernel which was not available in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr when you reported this bug. Can you retest with the latest Trusty LiveCD and let us know the results?

[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
I tried the newest daily build of Trusty Tahr and still the same. Only prompt for low graphic mode, after clicking yes and stay by for 1 minute nothing is happening, so I can't run those commands. To be honest, I have problems with all distributions. Only one works out of the box ... boot- live enviroment-install and that distro is Manjaro Linux, probably thanks to their own Hardware detection tool MHWD. Would it help, if i run those commands from Manjaro system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264835 Title: Low graphic mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1264835/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.

[Bug 1264835] Re: Low graphic mode
I would encourage you to try the latest upstream kernel as requested by Joseph. If this still does not work, the commands I mentioned can be run from Ubuntu 12.04.3 Precise Pangolin. Given that the issue does not occur on precise, it could also be due to the subsequently introduced support for DRM PRIME rendering, but to check that we will need the boot dmesg, xorg.log and glxinfo output from trusty (to run glxinfo you will need to install the mesa-utils package).
