[Bug 1121503] Re: Alienware AM17xR4 can't enter installer on 12.10
Hey, I returned the pos a while ago, but I forgot to mention that while I was doing more searching, I found out the ATI card I had was an 'AMD Enduro' card which meant the system was able to switch between using the discrete AMD graphics card for intense application and then back to the built in CPU integrated GPU while idling. That's a cool idea, but yeah... It's probably best to avoid gaming laptops that are using AMD graphics cards for this generation. Maybe in a couple years from now they'll have the bugs worked out on the vendors end =/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1121503 Title: Alienware AM17xR4 can't enter installer on 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1121503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1121503] Re: Alienware AM17xR4 can't enter installer on 12.10
I googled a while back and the noun x.org came up. Maybe there's a package I could attempt to upgrade to that's in Ubuntu 12.10 or 13 that isn't in 12.04, then after the upgrade of that single package (and thereafter other candidates until the culprit is found)? Once everything goes foobar, we'd know which package to blame. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1121503 Title: Alienware AM17xR4 can't enter installer on 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1121503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1121503] Re: Alienware AM17xR4 can't enter installer on 12.10
I just checked and it doesn't give the same error/ crash, though it's not functional. It boots me into some kind of a UI with a menu bar at the top and the buttons on the right side of that bar. But in the middle of the screen, where I'm supposed to see a fancy orange desktop, I only see black. And the dialogue menu for install never loads (whereas it does get that far on an older desktop I have handy here). The issue on the daily build may be unrelated to the issue on the 12.10 given the stark differences in behavior. I'd be more than happy to try out any other testing ideas if you have them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1121503 Title: Alienware AM17xR4 can't enter installer on 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1121503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I might be able to get that command to work in version 12.04, but wouldn't that only mislead debuggers into thinking that those specs came from the versions of software being tested? Please get back to me, in the meantime I'll set this to confirmed. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1121503 Title: Alienware AM17xR4 can't enter installer on 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1121503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1064098] [NEW] Wired NIC doesn't allow internet connection over PXE
Public bug reported: When booting a machine into Ubuntu via PXE as a LiveCD, the booted machine will not beable to ping google.com or any other domain. It will be able to ping the IP addresses of local machines. So I guess this is a DNS resolution problem? Trying to fix the situation through the GUI isn't possible because it says Wired Network: Device Not Managed. Things will work fine if you connect to a wireless network though (that's how I'm able to post this bug report). Here's the PXE menu line that I used for booting: LABEL Ubuntu LiveCD 12 32bit MENU DEFAULT KERNEL boot/ubuntu/ubuntu32/casper/vmlinuz APPEND root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.11:/tftpboot/boot/ubuntu/ubuntu32 initrd=boot/ubuntu/ubuntu32/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- IPAPPEND 3 This bug is present on both 32 and 64bit versions. It occurs across two systems that I have hear (and ancient desktop, and an this oldish laptop). If that boot configuration pasted above is correct, then I would assume you'll find this bug VERY repoducable. You can find a full tutorial on setting up a PXE server on a straight debian server here that I wrote, which includes at the bottom the procedure of adding Ubuntu booting to the PXE selection: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/blog/1662/entry-3955-setting-up-a-pxe-server-and-booting-a-client-tftp-pxe-dhcp-nfs/ The odd thing is that LinuxMint seems to boot fine with access to the wired port.
