[Bug 756818] Re: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable
No real change in effect, Unity, GNOME 3.x, and Cinnamon still unusable. Hardware was changed to a BioStar N68S38 motherboard/Athlon II x3 processor/8G RAM/Graphics: Card: NVIDIA C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] X.Org: 1.15.1 drivers: nouveau (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1280x1024@60.0hz GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on NV4C GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.3 Monitor: Etronix 1701B 17 1280x1024 LCD display does not give proper edid I can now sometimes get a stable display on one of the three above DEs.until I attempt to actually open menu items, then the display freezes or goes for repeated pattern of dots on the screen, in either case the display freezes after a few seconds, requiring hard reset or power cycling Knoppix with LXDE Compiz works fine, as does Bodhi 2.x and 3.x and Xubuntu and Mate have remained working with no problems. I am thinking that all three of the above do not handle the case where the edid is not returned from the monitor to the computer acceptably. My only other monitor had been an old NEC Multisync II (800x600), but I obtained a Sansui model SLED 2900 I television/monitor and seeking confirmation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756818 Title: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/756818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 756818] Re: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable
The Sansui monitor trial reminded me that there are other outcomes beside the freezing and repeating pattern of dots. This trial set ALMOST worked from the trials of the LIVE disks of Unity, GNOME, KDE Plasma, and Cinnamon desktops, but random patterns made the display still unusable. The graphics did not freeze, and the nVidia proprietary driver may have worked, did not try in this set of trials. The other outcome which happened on Unity, GNOME/GNOME Classic and Cinnamon was to have yellow and white on white background for the screen text and other graphic elements, rendering most text onscreen unusable. BTW, the Sansui SLED2900I model was capable of 1280x1024. I tried Ubuntu 14.04 for Unity. Xubuntu 14.04 14.10 worked fine, as is PCLinuxOS LXDE. Next test would be to check using the nVidia proprietary driver and/or installed system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756818 Title: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/756818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 756818] Re: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable
With the Sansui monitor, I was able to install the nvidia-current package and get a stable display. nvidia-current had not helped with the Etronix 1701B monitor on which the edid was not read correctly. I am typing this on a Unity desktop on 14.04, so my problems seem to have been solved. I also tried on GNOME desktop with similar results. My problem seems to have been a combination of hardware (edid not reading properly) and driver (nouveau) not working together, and I will so report publicly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756818 Title: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/756818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I forgot to add to my previous comment, the desktop default seems to be GNOME, not Unity, for this download Live session. When I go to a terminal session, I get a nouveau error: DDC responded, but no EDID for VGA-1 As noted in my original report, my Etronix 1701B LCD display does not respond with a valid EDID, which I have been using /etc/X11/xorg.conf or xrandr to fix since Ubuntu 7.04. The default 1024x768@60Hz display is a valid mode for this monitor, which is 1280x1024.

thank you for your bug report, is that still an issue using the current version? could you copy your .xsession-errors log to the bug? ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: unity Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: unity Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756818 Title: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
