Public bug reported: After upgrading from qantal to raring on a HP Pavillion DV6-3030TX, using the open source radeon drivers, X fails to start. Once I reboot the machine it asks me if I want to start a failsafe X session to see if I can debug the issue. All the logs required should be attached, please let me know what I can do to help resolve this issue, and if you require any more information.
What you expected to happen: Get a working Unity X session What happened instead: Given the option to log into a failsafe once off X session $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) Release: 13.04 $ dpkg-query -W xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 $ dpkg-query -W xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 $ sudo lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-13.23-generic 3.8.3 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-13-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.1: ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Fri Mar 22 10:49:03 2013 DistUpgraded: 2013-03-21 20:54:37,262 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: raring DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: vboxhost, 4.1.16, 3.2.0-30-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:144a] Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] [1002:68c1] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:144a] InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-07-02 (993 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC MarkForUpload: True ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-13-generic root=UUID=0c0ea442-d3be-4905-bf58-8e2d4c4ac6d7 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-video-ati UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-03-21 (0 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 03/10/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.bios.version: F.03 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 144A dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 65.16 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnHewlett-Packard:bvrF.03:bd03/10/2010:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPaviliondv6NotebookPC:pvr049F100000243010000020000:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn144A:rvr65.16:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: 049F100000243010000020000 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.9~daily13.03.20-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.42-0ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 9.0.3-0ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 9.0.3-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu2b2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.21.5-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.6-0ubuntu3b1 xserver.bootTime: Fri Mar 22 10:41:21 2013 xserver.configfile: default xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu3 xserver.video_driver: intel ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug compiz-0.9 raring ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158590 Title: X server fails to start after upgrading to raring on a HP Pavillion DV6-3030TX To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1158590/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
