[Bug 194187] Re: livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog
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 is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04?

I installed the RC on a D630 this morning. It has the 135 Nvidia and 1440x900 display. It worked seamlessly and without incident. The install process and post-install exhibited no failures.

[Bug 194187] Re: livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog
I believe this bug is fixed. I just tried a daily livecd build from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily- live/current/ (specifically http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current /hardy-desktop-amd64.iso dated April 9 8:34AM) and my laptop comes right up in its native resolution with no operator intervention at all. I haven't done an install yet, it was enough to see the splash screen and get to the desktop at 1440x900. Please try a daily livecd build and see what it does for you. -- rec -- -- livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 194187] Re: livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog
This is how I managed to get Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 Beta 1 installed on my Dell Latitude D630. Boot live CD, selected UK, Pressed F3 to select keyboard layout, selected UK. Pressed F6 to specify boot options, added 'vga=769' (without the quotes) to the end of the line and pressed enter. It then booted perfectly into the live CD. I was then able to perform an install normally. However, after the install completed, it rebooted into a black screen. So I rebooted again (ctrl-alt-del) and selected recovery mode (the second item in the grub boot menu). When it had booted into the recovery menu I selected 'xfix' from the list. When that had completed I selected 'resume boot' and was able to login. I then enabled the proprietary nvidia drivers and rebooted. Everything has been fine since. -- livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I would suggest that the importance be raised and the bug be opened in Xorg or the relevant driver. This basically stops people in their tracks from using the AMD64 CD on MacBook Pro, unless you know how to switch VT and force GDM to reload. -- livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Exactly the same with Hardy Beta AMD64 on MacBook Pro Santa Rosa.

Re: [Bug 194187] Re: livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog
The beta was set before the fix to the usplash was done, and I believe the usplash bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147623) interfered with the autodetect. If there were a simple way to update the packages on the beta livecd then I'd test this hypothesis, but apparently livecd's are built using Gentoo. So I'll wait for the developers to release rc1. The work around is to do the install in safe graphics mode. Then after booting into the newly installed system and updating to most recent packages you should get a prompt from System Hardware Drivers saying that there's a restricted driver for your hardware. Enable the nvidia driver and you should be all set. Doing an install in low graphics used to be impossible, but the installer has been made to use windows that fit on a lowres screen. -- rec -- On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 2:50 PM, Daniel Ellis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am also unable to install Ubuntu 8.04 Beta AMD64 on the Dell Latitude D630 because of this issue.

I'm sorry, perhaps the point of my report got lost in the details. The Hardy Alpha4 amd64 livecd fails to boot to the desktop and dumps the user into limbo. I expected the livecd to boot to the desktop or explain why it wasn't possible. In what sense is this not a bug?

The ticket has been closed because your description is rather confusing and seems to describe different issues you had and workarounds rather a specific bug on the software. The revelant part there is that gdm is not restarted after using the xorg low graphic mode configuration tool right?

Re: [Bug 194187] Re: livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog
It happens using the CD reliably. (I suspect the same thing has happened after install, because I have been put into the low-graphics dialog since installing. But I don't have a way to reproducibly get to the low graphic mode configuration tool after install.) I've just finished verifying the exact same issue using the amd64 desktop CDs for Gutsy, Hardy Alpha3, and Hardy Alpha4 and captured /var/log onto a thumb drive for each of them. In each case: I took the default boot path, Start or install ubuntu. No splash was displayed. X started in low resolution presenting the Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. I configured to use the nv driver and the 1440x900 display. I tested the configuration successfully I then clicked the [OK] button on the config dialog. The result was to drop me into a VT with the boot progress text displayed. The last boot progress message displayed was: --- * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK] --- At this point, the boot has aborted and I switched to VT1 and tar'ed /var/log onto a thumb drive. The last entries in /var/log/daemon.log from the Gutsy boot are: --- Feb 22 17:50:10 ubuntu gdm[8683]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Feb 22 17:50:14 ubuntu gdm[8829]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Feb 22 17:50:18 ubuntu gdm[8843]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Feb 22 17:50:18 ubuntu gdm[8682]: CRITICAL: gdm_config_value_get_bool: assertion `value-type == GDM_CONFIG_VALUE_BOOL' failed Feb 22 17:53:08 ubuntu gdm[8979]: WARNING: GDM already running.
