[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 747729] Re: fglrx crashes X server on startup
That looks like there is no fglrx kernel module installed for the -pae kernel. Normally DKMS should build the kernel module automatically when you boot your -pae kernel. If that's not happening for some reason, that may be a bug in DKMS. You can manually tell DKMS to build the fglrx kernel module for your -pae kernel with: sudo dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.840 -k 2.6.38-8-generic-pae sudo dkms install -m fglrx -v 8.840 -k 2.6.38-8-generic-pae Then reboot to the -pae kernel.

I already deleted my PAE kernel, therefore I reinstalled the removed packages: apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae These are the interesting lines: run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 2.6.38-8-generic-pae /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic-pae * dkms: running auto installation service for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae * fglrx (8.840)...

You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located, or you could install the linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae package. Then I added the PAE headers...: apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae ... which built and installed the missing driver automatically: ... run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 2.6.38-8-generic-pae /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic-pae * dkms: running auto installation service for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae * fglrx (8.840)...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 747729] Re: fglrx crashes X server on startup
Thanks, Beat, for following up. Your problem seems to be solved, but it's different from the problem originally reported by Vladimir. @Vladimir: I saw the same problem when I updated my developer system from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 earlier today. After running sudo aticonfig --initial -f X could start successfully on my system. Please try if this solves your problem as well. @Ben: your log file doesn't show any useful information regarding fglrx because you were using the Radeon driver at the time. Please also try sudo aticonfig --initial -f, which will fix up your xorg.conf and wipe out any stale settings from the previous driver version. If that still gives you problems, please attach an Xorg.0.log produced with the failing driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/747729 Title: fglrx crashes X server on startup ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 747729] Re: fglrx crashes X server on startup
After some more trying I found the following facts: Default kernel is vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic-pae, but when I use vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic (i. e. without this physical address extension) it works perfectly. Are there boot option which prevent a fglrx crash?

Yesterday I updated from 10.10 to 11.04 on my Lenovo T400 with a Radeon HD 3400 graphics card. When I boot with the shipped kernel 2.6.38-8 the X server crashes, with the last kernel 2.6.35-28 it works fine. (See attachments) I ran aticonfig as suggested but , alas, at no avail.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 747729] Re: fglrx crashes X server on startup
Your Xorg log shows that you're using some unusual fglrx options in your xorg.conf. Looks xorg.conf was originally created by a really old version of fglrx. Could you try the following steps to reinitialize the fglrx configuration: 1) Reboot the system, in the boot loader select Recovery mode 2) When prompted, select netroot Drop to root shell prompt with networking 3) In the root shell run aticonfig --initial -f 4) Reboot normally See if that solves your problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/747729 Title: fglrx crashes X server on startup ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
