Re: [Bug 68433] Re: X in 6.10 ISO Cd installer doesn't work for ATI card
Hi Dominik. Thanks for helping with this. Yeah I installed from the Desktop CD iso. All the logfiles attached were generated from the livecd environment. I was able to install once I altered my xorg.conf driver line from ati to radeon. Also, I had assumed /etc/init.d/gdm stop would actually stop gdm, but someone suggested that you need to pkill gdm. This was true, and why the radeon driver didn't work in my first attempts. I'll try the Debugging XAutoConfig stuff in the meantime. Let me know if you would like any other information.

[Bug 68433] Re: X in 6.10 ISO Cd installer doesn't work for ATI card
I think this is problem is not related to #28925, changing xorg.conf to use the radeon driver instead of ati would not have helped otherwise. This seems to be related to not properly detecting the gfx chipset in the first place. The Xorg.0.log suggests that something goes wrong when detecting the gfx chipset. It might be useful to checkout bugs.freedesktop.org in order to find out whether upstream knows about this or not. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info = Confirmed -- X in 6.10 ISO Cd installer doesn't work for ATI card https://launchpad.net/bugs/68433 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 68433] Re: X in 6.10 ISO Cd installer doesn't work for ATI card
Thanks for that reply. I'm quite sure your problem is not related to #22985, However, your system seems to be affected by https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/59618 , that's why safe graphics mode won't work, either. Ubuntu CDs/DVDs come in different flavours: 1. Desktop CD: ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso This contains a LiveCD environment with a graphical installer run from X/Gnome 2. Alternate CD: ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso This contains the old-fashioned text-based installer that runs from console and not from X. 3. ubuntu-6.10-server-i386.iso Similar to 2, but won't install a desktop enviroment nor X. It's designed to install server systems that don't need X. 4. ubuntu-6.10-dvd-i386.iso DVD iso, basically a combination of the three above. The boot menu lets you choose what to do with it. Which version did you use to install? I guess you ran the Desktop CD and used the graphical installer, right? Are the logfiles you attached the ones created by the livecd environment? Just want to be sure before I go on with bug triage. I'd appreciate if you could have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TriagingXBugs and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXAutoconfiguration and try some of the workarounds mentioned on these two webpages.

[Bug 68433] Re: X in 6.10 ISO Cd installer doesn't work for ATI card
Your bug original bug report contains inconsistencies and ambiguities: 1. The title of the bug report suggests that you were running the desktop CD but then you say it was a clean install. What do you mean with that: Did you run the desktop CD first? Did it work? Did you then use the installer and the installation on the hard disk would not work anymore? 2. 1280x1024x32: Are you sure your monitor can display that resolution? What kind of hardware to do you use? Is it a laptop/desktop? We'd need more data here. 3. Once X was started up, were you able to go back to the VTs using Ctrl+Alt+F1 ? If yes, the computer probably never froze up. 4. Try disabling the kernel boot options quiet and splash. This will deactive the bootsplash and enable the output of more diagnostics. I will mark this bug report as rejected. Even if the report really refers a new bug, it duplicates at least to other bug reports: 59618 and 22985. The BTS cannot cope with a bug being a duplicate of more than one bug anyway. Btw, #67405 is a dupe of #59618 , mea culpa. If the problem with the computer freezing really/still exists, feel free to re-open the bug report and edit the bugs description. -- X in 6.10 ISO Cd installer doesn't work for ATI card https://launchpad.net/bugs/68433 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am seeing a similar problem with a ATI Radeon X600 card. I cannot perform the install due to the X failure.

Re: [Bug 68433] Re: X in 6.10 ISO Cd installer doesn't work for ATI card
Dominik, Yes my display hardware can support that resolution. I had no problems seeing the splash screen. The native resolution for my monitor is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a 2 x 17 LCDs. What do you mean desktop CD? I used the official ISO image available at the mirrors. The Desktop CD contains the installer. I never said my computer locked up. I said that I was unable to switch to a VT due to video card problem. I was only able to switch VT's when i had selected the resolution settings from the boot menu as stated earlier. When trying to switch VT's, i had a green line horizontally accross the screen that seemed to get wider when i switched back to VT 7. On any occasion, X failed to start. X never started. I never even saw the Blue screen, until I selected the vga mode from the boot screen. My guess is the boot splash interfered with me accessing the VT's when I did not select the resolution settings. ATI Support in each Ubuntu release seems to be getting worse and worse. After a lot of mucking around, and editing xorg.conf files i was able to get into GDM, but only at 800x600 and run the installer from there. After installing, I have decided to switch to the fglrx driver which i was previously using in all other releases of ubuntu. In this release however, I am unable to geth the fglrx xinerama mode working. This not meant as a criticism, but just trying to get some answers, or at the very least, provide some data that helps to diagnose what is happening. On each release, I have chosen to install from the ISO images to run through the installer. Dapper and now Edgy have left me with a broken setup that I have to fiddle with just to get into the installer. What other information would you like?

You mix up three different problems here: 1. freeze during boot 2. X not starting in the internal display but on the external VGA output. 3. safe graphics mode not working. 1. try adding the options irqpoll or noapic nolapic to the boot line in the CDs boot menu, check for bugs that relate to that. 2. that's https://launchpad.net/products/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/22985 unless you don't have a laptop, or a gfx card with only one output port. 3. that's https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/67405 I suggest marking this one as closed and add comments to the bugs already filed. For number 1. check if there's bug reports for that already. I used to have a similar problem, but that was fixed in the past. Changing the driver in xorg.conf from ati to radeon usually doesn't help. You might want to utilise adding the MonitorLayout option in xorg.conf as described in the original bug report though. Alternatively, installing the non-free fglrx driver is a workaround likely to work.
