[Touch-packages] [Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected
These bugs started with a Ubuntu update just prior to Sept 14 (see post 103 above). By the 14th, there were initramfs problems on startup and the hang on spinning circle which forced hard power downs. Then on Sept 24, more updates installed including updates to grub, *nvidia drivers*, and some other things. Immediately following these Sept 24 updates, the suspend after entering login password started. That first machine affected subsequently became so unstable that I tried to reload Ubuntu; but that failed due to this bug. So that machine is now completely sidelined. These 4 bugs are devastating my Ubuntu machines. PLEASE fix these (again, this bug and the other 3 mentioned in post 103)! And please NOTE that the updated nvidia driver packet DOES seem to be one of the bad actors in all this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871268 Title: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected Status in GLibC: New Status in Ubuntu CD Images: Fix Released Status in apt package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in apt source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in glibc source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in glibc source package in Focal: Invalid Bug description: Test Case 1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected
I am seeing much better stability of the Ubuntu distro today. I am working with a reinstallation from a 20.04.1 image from late August; I loaded it about a week ago hoping to recover from the 4 bugs I've been dealing with but still had problems. Today I ran Ubuntu Update AND went back to the open source nVidia driver (this is a T570 with both Intel and nVidia graphics). I urge working with nVidia: their driver update near the end of September seemed to be the final straw in all of this, and making sure that driver is stable seems important to ensure that the installer is able to deliver a stable system.

The fix for 1872159 (spinning logo hang on startup) has allowed me to turn the splash screen back on; and this error is not visible.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails due to useless immediate configuration error when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected
With reference to post #132 above: If this is relevant to this issue I also am experiencing problems with switching drivers for the device on my systems that uses (or can use) a Ubuntu third party driver. Specifically nVidia for the GeForce 940MX. Changing between nVidia driver versions (all within the selections provided by Ubuntu's Updater) appears to succeed but driver performance is not correct. I restart after each driver change. I've seen screen tearing, freezing, video stuttering, etc while playing locally stored videos. I've used the same video file to test and the results remain unpredictable. Even going back to the generic xorg driver does not seem to fully stabilize performance of the 940MX. None of these issues were present prior to the mid- September Ubuntu updates associated with 20.04.1; and the nVidia driver(s) provided performance superior to the xorg version. Trying to reload Ubuntu in an attempt to squash these bugs triggered this crash bug. I obviously managed to work around it by NOT selecting third party drivers on install, but that necessitates changing the driver after install; and that has not worked well either. If this is not relevant to this particular bug, then please disregard in deference to other bug reports. I provide this here only to assist by providing anecdotal observations in hopes that this may help in trying to resolve this third party driver related issue. And in the event that several of these bugs may be inter-related, please refer to also posts #84, 97, and 104 above regarding a group of bugs that all appeared following the mid-September Ubuntu LTS 20.04 updates; and note that there is a bug number (not listed above here) for the suspend on login issue, it is 1897185. Again: if this is not relevant to resolving this issue then disregard here.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails due to useless immediate configuration error when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected
Additional observation: I've tried using Ubuntu LTS 20.04 download images from July and August, selecting the option to install third party drivers. These images worked flawlessly at the end of the summer. But since the mid-September updates, even these earlier iso's of Ubuntu LTS 20.04 Desktop failed with this same install crash.

Continues to occur even once the bug 1871268 install crash has been dealt with (installing from latest daily-live current image). So affects even a fresh install.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected
Sorry to say that I tried to install from images from both May and June of this year, obviously 20.04. Both failed with the same crash. And, like you, I need nvidia and other specific drivers. Even if you can get past the crash, other changes that have been made since mid-September are wreaking havoc also: -there are problems with the new compression algorithm for initramfs -there are issues with startup hanging with a spinning Ubuntu logo, forcing hard power down -there are issues with startup going into suspend as soon as the login password is entered I too hope that this gets solved soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871268 Title: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected Status in GLibC: New Status in Ubuntu CD Images: Fix Released Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in apt source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in glibc source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in glibc source package in Focal: Invalid Bug description: Please use the latest daily installer images if you would like to enable third-party drivers during installation: http://www.cdimage.ubuntu.com/focal/daily-live/current/ [Original Bug Text] Test Case 1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected
I already used the daily image; and yes I got the (re)installation to complete without crashing. BUT the freshly (re)installed Ubuntu system remained unstable and therefore unusable due to other bugs that were introduced or re-introduced by the two Ubuntu Updater packages pushed out since mid-September. Even with the fresh re-installation from the daily image, I still have: -there are problems with the new compression algorithm for initramfs -there are issues with startup hanging with a spinning Ubuntu logo, forcing hard power down -there are issues with startup going into suspend as soon as the login password is entered These were why I did a full erase and re-install of Ubuntu to start with: these bugs had, in the week or two prior, made Ubuntu frighteningly unstable. I too hope that this all gets solved soon. There are bug reports on all of these: see bugs #1872159, 1835660, 1897185. There are related and/or duplicates of some of these also. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871268 Title: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected Status in GLibC: New Status in Ubuntu CD Images: Fix Released Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in apt source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in glibc source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in glibc source package in Focal: Invalid Bug description: Please use the latest daily installer images if you would like to enable third-party drivers during installation: http://www.cdimage.ubuntu.com/focal/daily-live/current/ [Original Bug Text] Test Case 1.
