** Description changed: + [Impact] + An excessive number of duplicate and/or invalid bug reports are being filed against xorg via checkbox's 'system test' functionality. Most issues being reported are unlikely to warrant SRU updates; in any case there is insufficient information provided to troubleshoot them. This feature should be disabled for the Karmic release. + + [Patch] + Attached to this bug report. It simply removes the X source package names from the scripts. + + [Reproduction] + Go to the 'xorg' or 'x11-xserver-utils' source packages and do an advanced search for bugs with 'checkbox-bug'. This will display a large number of bug reports about the same problem (limited resolution availability). Click on any of the bugs will show they typically have only 1-2 line descriptions. Xorg.0.log is attached, but no xrandr, ddcprobe data, or other information documented as necessary for troubleshooting this class of bug. + + [Regression Potential] + The video tests in apport are new in the karmic release (in fact they were enabled only briefly before the release), so disabling the functionality is not a regression. + + [Discussion] + The procedure for analyzing common X bugs such as reduced resolution availability are documented in detail at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/. + + If we wish to expose test suites to end users that they can use for + sending bug reports for these kinds of issues, at a minimum the test + suite ought to at least include the information recommended by the + appropriate troubleshooting guide. A well crafted test could also test + out some of the analytical approaches or work arounds suggested by those + guides. + + Many of these resolution issues are monitor-specific or caused by + limitations inherent to the hardware or drivers, whose fixes may not be + widespread enough or severe enough or safe enough to warrant an SRU. + Thus, while having the test allow filing bug reports for the distro + under development may make sense, it will be less so for the actual + release. + + + [Original Report] Binary package hint: xorg Model number: PP19S # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 # lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07) # lswh: - *-display UNCLAIMED - description: VGA compatible controller - product: System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller - vendor: Intel Corporation - physical id: 2 - bus info: p...@0000:00:02.0 - version: 07 - width: 32 bits - clock: 33MHz - capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list - configuration: latency=0 - resources: memory:d8100000-d817ffff ioport:1800(size=8) memory:d0000000-d7ffffff memory:d8380000-d839ffff + *-display UNCLAIMED + description: VGA compatible controller + product: System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller + vendor: Intel Corporation + physical id: 2 + bus info: p...@0000:00:02.0 + version: 07 + width: 32 bits + clock: 33MHz + capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list + configuration: latency=0 + resources: memory:d8100000-d817ffff ioport:1800(size=8) memory:d0000000-d7ffffff memory:d8380000-d839ffff ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CheckboxCommand: resolution_test CheckboxDescription: - This display is using the following resolution: - - $output - - Je toto pro váš displej přijatelné? + This display is using the following resolution: + + $output + + Je toto pro váš displej přijatelné?
