Bug description:
I've been testing the Ubuntu GNOME Vivid daily images in anticipation
of Alpha 2 and I noticed that with this specific hardware I get no
graphics at all other than a blank screen (see attached photo):
AMD Sempron Processor LE-1250 @ 2.2 GHz
nVidia C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2)
nVidia MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
nVidia MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2)
2GB DDR2 RAM
In fact I never even get as far as the screen offering to Try or
Install, but I can enter the Advanced Boot Options screen and select
either Try or Install from there, but with both options I still get
the same blank screen.
Further testing reveals the same results with Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME
but I found that both the Xubuntu and Lubuntu images will boot
properly on this box so I installed Lubuntu and then installed the
ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-gnome-desktop, and gnome-session-flashback
meta-packages just to try some things.
After doing so I found that the Unity, GNOME Shell, Gnome Classic, and
Flashback w/Compiz sessions produce broken graphics just as the Ubuntu
GNOME and Ubuntu live images do. So basically Compiz and Mutter both
fail to display any usable UI. OTOH both the Lubuntu and Flashback
w/Metacity sessions work just fine.
I next opened the Additional drivers UI and chose nvidia-304.125
(current) and all DE's perform quite well with the proprietary drivers
so I deduced that nouveau might be the culprit.
The last known working Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME live images are
14.04.1. I hadn't tried Utopic on this box yet but it's also a fail.
I'll try the proposed 14.04.2 images ASAP (probably after Vivid Alpha
2 is released).
But I see no point in trying to fix this for Utopic (or even 14.04.2
if it's effected) because of the 9 month life-cycle for Utopic and the
continued availability of the 14.04.1 images. In fact I'd be cool with
this not being fixed until 16.04 as long as it's documented so people
know what versions will and will not work.
I'm probably forgetting something but that's all I can think of ATM.
Sorry in advance if I did this totally wrong.
