[Bug 272463] Re: Blank screen before login ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6
For those who see issues like these, and that have an AGP bus like phil does, it is possibly you just need an AGPMode quirk. Please see this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks/#ATI AGP Mode Quirk If the workaround listed there solves the issue, please follow the directions and post the PCI details into a NEW bug mentioning AGPMode in the subject line. phil, please test the above and let us know whether there is an AGPMode that solves the issue for you. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- Blank screen before login ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I still experience this bug with the now officially released Intrepid, and I can't update to this version because of this. Getting to a console when the screen turns blank, stopping gdm, executing the command sudo chmod a-x /usr/bin/compiz and restarting gdm makes no difference. I will attach the relevant logs here. I have no file called /var/log/gdm.log but I have one called /var/log/log/gdm:0.log which I will attach. ** Attachment added: /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19460040/Xorg.0.log -- Blank screen before login ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After further poking around, I strongly suspect that what I'm seeing is a problem with the interpretation of the EDID info in my monitor (Acer AL1916W, which many others - including users of NVidia's binary driver - have reported trouble with), so there's a good chance that my data is unrelated to the original reporter's bug.

I experience the same with Ubuntu Intrepid KDE Beta. When I stop kdm and do startx manually there are many messages as those that can be found in the kdm.log file I attached (Blank CRTC 0 success, Disable CRTC 0 success). When I swith to TTYn and back several times I get corruptions - text is almost unreadyble (sorry for typing mistakes, I can's identify most letters). I will upload a photo when I have clear sight again. PS: Corruptions occur when using VESA, with radeon display remains black. But maybe it has to do with this bug. ** Attachment added: kdm.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18232560/kdm.log -- Blank screen before login ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 272463] Re: Blank screen before login ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6
I experienced something like this, which was resolved by disabling compiz (I just did chmod a-x /usr/bin/compiz and rebooted). Can you try to see if disabling compiz is enough to make it work with the -ati driver? Also, anyone who is seeing this issue and has not already done so, please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log when running with -ati enabled, and the output of `lspci -vvnn`. Also look in your /var/log/gdm.log to see if there are any error messages there, and if so please also list them. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Blank screen before login ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you try doing the following? I want to see if the bug I've reported (Bug #272877) is a duplicate of this bug. Basically, when the black screen appears you try to get to a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, stopping GDM, then changing the driver to vesa in xorg.conf, and starting GDM again. Here's a more detailed description: You can change the driver to vesa by getting to a console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 (do this when the black screen appears). Then shut down GDM by typing: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then you edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf with for example 'nano' by typing: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf There should be a Device-section that looks like this (there might be more lines of text between Section and EndSection, but mine just looks like this when using the Intrepid Alpha 6 Live CD): Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device EndSection In this section add a line with the text Driver vesa. Doing so with the example above would make it look like this: Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Driver vesa EndSection Save the file and exit nano.
