Source: xorg-server Version: 2:21.1.3-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
[I'm reporting this against the source because I'm not sure which binary is at fault, but this presuambly related to the bits of xorg that gets put into a udeb and it has been seen while testing on amd64.] Daily Debian-Installer images made after Feb 9 are failing to start X, as seen here: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/42033#step/_boot_to_debianinstaller/4 which conicides with 2:21.1.3-2 hitting unstable, which suggests that is what is responsible for the change. Here is that same test, using the version of D-I built at 2022-02-09 22:16: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/41989#step/_boot_to_debianinstaller/3 which, as you can see, gets to run X. If I set things such that it uses `-vga std` instead of `-vga virtio`, and do a BIOS boot, it is again able to start X: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/42370#step/_boot_to_debianinstaller/3 However, a UEFI boot still fails (with `-vga std`): https://openqa.debian.net/tests/42416#step/_boot_to_debianinstaller/4 BTW One can reproduce this behaviour by running kvm thus: kvm -cdrom debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso -m 1G (which works, because it's defaulting to: -vga std ) and: kvm -cdrom debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso -m 1G -vga virtio (which fails for recent versions, and works for versions produced up until Feb 9) If you need an earlier copy of a daily image, for comparision purposes, I have copies at present, and can put them somewhere you can get them. Cheers, Phil.
