To make it the default, edit /etc/default/grub and add the options to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= then run update-

@Jason: from a live CD, type F6 on the boot screen to select advanced options, 
change the kernel cmdline to add i915.modeset=0 after --, so if it was e.g.:
... boot=casper -- 
change it to:
... boot=casper -- i915.modeset=0

that should be preserved upon install

I'm booting from USB. In Windows, I opened the USB drive, then I opened
the syslinux folder, the oped the file syslinux.cfg with notepad, and
what is written is exactly as follows:

include menu.cfg
default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 300
gfxboot bootlogo

So where do I enter that boot=casper -- i915.modeset=0 part?

2010-02-28 Thread Jason Alan Graves
So I made a little more progress.

In that syslinux folder, there is a file called text.cfg. I opened that
file with notepad, and found some lines which looked similar to what you
described. In the first 2 instances where I saw the boot=casper, I
highlighted the casper part and pasted casper -- i915.modeset=0 and
then saved the file. (Just to note, only the Fedora LiveUSB creator
worked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick .
Other USB programs produced what seemed like an identical set of files
on my USB, including the USB creator included in the .iso itself, but
only the Fedora one makes this work for me.)

And this almost worked. I booted once again from the USB, chose the 2nd
option, which was to install (first option was to just run the system
off of the USB), and it progressed fully through the installation
procedure, all the way through to the final reboot, upon which I was
prompted to remove the USB. I did, and the system booted from what I had
installed on the hard drive. But during the boot process, the same
problem. The change was not maintained in the installation.

Now, I am running just the live USB, and will try the installation
option from the Ubuntu desktop itself instead of the installation
directly from the USB. I will post again if doing it this way will work.

But if that does not work, please tell me where I can find that text.cfg
file on the fully installed system. This way, I could run from the USB,
and then browse through the files on the hard drive and edit the file
that way.

I think the args from the boot cmdline are supposed to be copied on the
installed system, either the ones before -- or the ones afterwards.

The installed system probably uses grub2 which you can configure in
/etc/default/grub; run update-grub to update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg
generated file

2010-02-28 Thread Jason Alan Graves
Didn't see anything that looked relevant in the grub.cfg :-(

Well, I think I have to throw in the towel on this one. It's pretty
frustrating. On the one hand, the UI in Ubuntu is far superior to that
found in Windows or Mac for that matter. On the other hand, each time I
try to switch to some Linux distroeach and every single time issues
like this come up forcing me to stay with Windows :-( If it's not the
touchscreen, it's the fingerprint reader, and if not that then it's the
3G GSM connectivity, if not that something else. How is it that the guys
at Microsoft can at least get their system to work?

I'm not happy to stay with Windows, but I spent the entire weekend
trying to get this f'ing thing installed and no dice:-(

Thank you for your help, but I think this is a hopeless battle. Once
this PC dies off, I'm getting a Mac.

:-)

OK, OK, I made a bit more progress. I found the following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 , which tells me to edit the
grub options, I should hold down the shift key from the time I start the
system until the time the grub command line appears. And I did this
using the system installed on the hard drive which wouldn't go before.

So it did as pictured in that website, and I highlighted the first
option on the list shown, and pressed the e key which took me to a
screen to edit text or options for that item.

After the ro quiet splash I added i915.modeset=0, or in other words,
after my addition, that part looked like ro quiet splash
i915.modeset=0 .

Then, I pressed control x which booted the system.and it worked.
But, I must do this each time I start up the system. So how do I get
this to be permanent?

I too have encountered the same problem in my desktop PC running Kubuntu 9.10 ,
 everything was working fine and suddenly on one day I got the error saying 
failed to restore crtc configuration -22 and then drove me to the console 
login .

When I tried to boot using an Ubuntu 9.10 live CD , then also the same
error appears , but now I'm not even getting the console login, instead
the error appears on all consoles 

I'm getting the GUI login when the safe graphics mode is selected in
Ubuntu 9.10 live CD .

There is no /dev/fb0 (framebuffer device) in my system when running in
the safe graphics mode ...

The error might be caused due to some erroneous /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file .

was able to boot usb installer by appending both vga=792 and i915.modeset=0
i have tried using modeset alone, doesn't work, so i tried both.
maybe vga=792 alone is sufficient, but haven't tried it yet.

Today I installed a AMD HD4350 graphics card in my system.
The X started and showed a screen. The driver also reports the monitor 
correctly.
So I guess the problem is with the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver that does 
not detect the monitor correctly.

Could any one say where this would be better reported?

Same problem on a Samsung Q1 ultra, after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10
(yep, maybe I should have waited).  i915.modeset=0 did NOT work for me.

But adding nomodeset into the boot options worked. This disables Kernel
Mode Setting, i.e. video mode switching from the kernel. Clearly the KMS
is still rough. I had also problems with another GM945 based laptop
(external monitor could not be turned on). At least the X11 in 9.10
still works without KMS (not true for the latest ppa xorg-edgers!).

2009-10-31 Thread CyrusCT
I first noticed it on a Samsung Q1 Ultra when trying to upgrade a Wubi 
9.04 install to a 9.10 alpha.  I figured the problem would be fixed by 
the final release, but I am having this problem with a fresh Wubi 9.10 
install.  After usplash, the screen keeps flashing with

[drm:intelfb_restore] *ERROR* Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22

until inactivity makes the screen go blank.

I would like to apply the i915.modeset=0 workaround.

Can you please indicate how, and where to enter the workaround?

I tried pressing the e key in grub, and adding a new line with 
i915.modeset=0 and then using Ctrl + x key combination to boot, 
but I'm still getting the problem, so apparently this does not cause 
grub to pass the command to the kernel.

Can someone please tell me where I went wrong and what I should be doing 
differently?


Many thanks,

Chris

In the GRUB menu ('e' to edit the entry on boot), add the flag I mention
to the linux kernel cmdline, that is where you see splash quiet.

On your system, edit /boo/grub/menu.lst and read the instructions.  If
you're using GRUB 2 (unlikely), see /etc/default/grub instead.

2009-10-31 Thread CyrusCT
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was finally able to finish startup.

In the GRUB 2 menu, I pressed the e key to edit, used the arrow keys 
to move the cursor to the line that ended with quiet splash and 
changed it to end with i915.modeset=0 quiet splash then pressed the 
Ctrl + x key combination to boot.

To make the changes persistent, I modified /etc/default/grub

by changing the line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash

to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=i915.modeset=0 quiet splash

then saved and ran the command sudo update-grub to implement the
changes.


Thanks again,

Chris

I have a similar problem with a G33: boot begins normally and at some point it 
is in text mode and (I think) flickers a lot with the error message: failed to 
restore crtc configuration -22. I was able to switch between text consoles (I 
could see the ttyX and login prompt briefly) and finally by playing between 
consoles it finally decided to start xorg (it might be completely unrelated 
though).
I attach the dmesg if it can help.

I tried the workaround mentioned in the first post

Add i915.modeset=0 to the kernel cmdline args

The msg disappeared , yet Xorg didn't start, and the monitor went to
sleep mode, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL rebooted the system, I saw upstart
msgs of unmounting and stopping services ...etc which means it was still
up, but there was no video

2009-10-13 Thread Papfox
I'm seeing the same problem on an IBM/Lenovo Thinkcentre M52 (Model
9210-KGB) small form factor desktop with an LG L1800P monitor attached
to a Belkin 4-port ps/2 KVM.

Original description: Based on 9210-D1U: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 630
with HT Technology, 512MB, 80GB 7200RPM S-ATA HDD, PCI/PCIe Small Form
Factor (2x3), Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 16x DVD-ROM, Intel
Gigabit Ethernet, POV.

It says the GPU is an Intel 950 but Karmic identifies it as an 82945 so
I think I see a pattern forming.

I don't know if it's relevant but I have got a problem with Jaunty on
this machine too. It worked fine when I installed it but now (after a
full set of updates) it comes up offering me low graphics mode saying
that there are no modes available then says display :0 is busy and has
to open a display on :1.

I also have this problem, but I'm using a Samsung Q1 Ultra.

I get the problem when I upgrade to Karmic 9.10 from regular ubuntu,
from ubuntu netbook remix 9.04, and from xubuntu 9.04 32-bit versions in
each case.  I also get the problem when trying to do a fresh install of
Karmic 9.10 with Wubi, even if I specify safe graphics mode during the
first run.  I have noticed this with alpha 4 and alpha 5.  I can't
remeber if alpha 3 worked or not, but I did not have this problem with
alpha 1 or alpha 2.
