 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Bug 277411] Re: no desktop; kinit: name_to_dev_t (/dev/sda6) =sda(8,6)

2009-01-24 Thread peter b
after the 810 full release it appears that the problem was solved on
this account.

I can install (and installed) 810 with no glitches and work with it
except no BIOS enabled crossfire. I don't mind about that

and now  

 a new issue popped up as reported on 320746. and again, it appears,
is about having good response on hardy - the pcmcia mentioned on the
320746 WAS recognized immediately; it works fine on an acer laptop ;
why not in intrepid?

still investigating  why dynex pcmcia works fine on hardy but not on
intrepid; I'll report results on 320746.

[Bug 277411] Re: no desktop; kinit: name_to_dev_t (/dev/sda6) =sda(8,6)

2008-10-16 Thread peter b
for all interested with same hardware

- x is not able/smart (so far) to use CrossFire enabled BIOS setting;
that is it can not BIND to ANY screens in spite of the fact when an
attempt is made to start it, it lists all interfaces - internal and PCIe
- but then it comes down with 'no screens found, giving up' message.

- so, to get a desktop in intrepid on this hardware, THE CROSSFIRE
setting in BIOS MUST be set to DISABLE then x binds itself to the PCIe
interface (graphic adapter).

- it is v interesting though, HARDY can live v happily with the above
BIOS setting enabled.

regards,
peter b

Hi Peter,

I agree with you. I wanted to get the 2.6.27 kernel for a specific fix
which allowed me to use my laptop unplugged. So I thought I'd be
adventerous and try the beta release. Big mistake so far.

Hopefully things will be cleaned up soon.

Best wishes,

Vinod

 - kinit issue - why when reconfiguring swap its size is decreased by 4KB than 
 what the fully functional hardy reports ?
 - xorg.conf issue - why when using vesa driver on xorg.conf there is still no 
 desktop ? isn't it supposed to be fail safe ? my hardware supports it.
 - on the same x issue - why did hardy have no problems configuring it 
 correctly and intrepid apparently fails on this account?

 there are too many unanswered questions, each and every one have the
 potential to disrupt the desktop being functional. for sure there is a
 bug hidden somewhere in the code that comes to life on my hardware setup
 - and here again the question comes up, why did hardy install with no
 problems on the same hardware ? I'm writing this in hardy; never had a

I also tried to reconf swap

swapoff /dev/sda6
mkswap /dev/sda6
update-intramfs -u

result, no joy, same situation.

also used xorf.conf.failsafe (vesa driver) as xorg.conf - result, no
joy, same situation.

there is something wrong during install - I'll see what the full release
brings about. just a note in closing - Hardy is fully functional without
any problems on same hardware; it detected the wired network at install
time right away.

peter

I had the same problem. I didn't keep track of exactly what I did, but
it seems to be fixed.

I redid my swap like you did. I then restarted and booted into single
user mode from grub. From the single-user menu, I did the reconfigure-
broken-packages option and the fix-xorg option and now things seem to
work. Sorry for not documenting my steps better...
