[Bug 129910] Re: tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy
This bug almost made Xubuntu uninstallable on my machine (reformat and clean install) since the installer did not recognize my hardware properly, and not all of the options that I passed to the installer were honored by it. And since Xfce-terminal has a bug too (crashes GDM) and I could not bring up Xterm at first, I was left with NO command line interface at all to fix it!! I had to fish around my apartment for a *known* compatible network card to download a few different terminals until I fould one that would work (most just said "task completed... exiting" and closed down) and "menu" for a Debian system menu and then get it running by: Deleted my vga= argument in /boot/grub/menu.lst Ran update-grub Corrected resolution in /etc/usplash.conf Enabled fbcon and vesafb in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules Commented out fbcon and vesafb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer Desperately enabled every possible repository in hopes of a fix in the works Ran upgrade Ran depmod -a Ran dpkg-reconfigure usplash My TTY's are back! but they look funky, and my power-down splash screen is horribly garbled... but it is functional at least. My hardware for this machine is older VESA 2.0 compliant Intel. (Not to get off topic, but in case it helps and/or is related, Gusty did not recognize my touchpad, network card, and APM, ACPI, LAPIC are not functioning properly even though I had them working in Debian sarge, Etch, Lenny and Sid.) -- tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 91849] Re: i810 + xorg = xfce crashes when opening terminal
I can confirm this also. I reformatted and did a clean install from the most recent .iso. Even with the raw, unaltered install, Terminal crashes gdm and sends me back to the login. Also, I cannot bring up a text console on any other tty via ctrl+alt+(function key). I get a blank black screen with a blinking underscore cursor. Hitting alt+f2 to bring up "run" and them launching xterm works, but typing "xfce4-terminal" has the same effect. I am running an S3 card as well. It appears to be an Xfce problem, and switching to 16 bit is not acceptable, so I am going to switch to another distro until this driver gets sorted out. -- i810 + xorg = xfce crashes when opening terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
