[Bug 205019] Re: black screen randomly (hardy heron)
I've got a Shuttle SG31G5 barebone system with Intel G31 Express (Bearlake-G) + ICH7 (according to the manufacturer). I also get X crashes, two or three times on an ordinary day. Switching to a virtual console doesn't restore the graphics. However, I can restart the computer blindly by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. After some time, I can also see the usplash shutdown logo which displays correctly. So it seems that this is not an non-recoverable error as usplash works correctly. My xorg.conf is quite the original one, I've just added a few lines to make my 5 button mouse work correctly. This bug makes working with my computer quite an adventure. I have to save my work every few seconds to be sure not to loose too much. I know that this is an dev release. However, hardy is already in beta stage so this bug should be fixed until release of the final version. I would be glad to help to debug this further. However, I might need some advice of what to do. ** Attachment added: xorg.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12824861/xorg.conf -- black screen randomly (hardy heron) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug contains enough enough information I think for the developers to decide what's the isse. But I'm not sure that the second bug reported in the comments is the same. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Assignee: Sense Hofstede (qense) = (unassigned) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- black screen randomly (hardy heron) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm the bug ... i have the same randomly It seems to be caused by fbc (framebuffer compression) My card is a 945gm. Here is the diff between two Xorg.log, one when the problem occurs, the other when it doesn't. Tell me if you need more information as above. ** Attachment added: log.diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12828290/log.diff -- black screen randomly (hardy heron) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for reporting this bug, However, we still need some more information before we can pass it on to the developers. Can you please attach the output of the following commands and files: lspci -nn | grep VGA /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.0.log (complete) lspci -vvnn sudo ddcprobe xrandr Thanks ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Sense Hofstede (qense) Status: New = Incomplete -- black screen randomly (hardy heron) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 205019] Re: black screen randomly (hardy heron)
It seems to me that your xorg.conf is very short and incomplete. Please run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. If you don't know which option to choose, just press enter to choose the default option. By the way, please attach the files next time in separate files instead of pasting everything in a comment. This makes the bug report a lot more readable. It doesn't matter if you post more comments to place all attachments. -- black screen randomly (hardy heron) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
