> The bug upstream has a new patch to test. Should we test it? Yes, that would be nice. Note however that this is a patch to the kernel and not the intel driver, since for a while now, screen detection is done in the kernel. A kernel cannot be easily tested using a LiveCD as far as I know, so you would have to have an installed system, preferably Karmic or Lucid.

[Bug 379157] Re: [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens)
With a LiveCD you lose all changes when you reboot, but you don't need to reboot to activate the changes[*]. It is sufficient to restart X, and you can do that by simply logging out (on a LiveCD you will be logged in again after 10 seconds IIRC). Alternatively, you can switch to a VT and do a `/etc/init.d/gdm restart`. The easiest way to get the log files when your computer has a black screen is to ssh in from another computer. For that you need the computer to be connected via cable instead of wireless and you will need to `apt-get install openssh-server` and since it is a LiveCD you will need to set a password for the ubuntu user to be able to log in with `passwd`, or alternatively for the root user with `sudo passwd root`. If you don't have another computer available to ssh from, you can also save the Xorg.0.log to a USB key. Before you restart X, insert the USB key and see where it gets mounted (should be /media/something). Then from a VT before you restart X, write `sleep 60; cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /media/something` where you replace something with the appropriate directory. That should wait 60 seconds and copy the log file. If you restart X during those 60 seconds, a new Xorg.0.log will be created and despite your black screen you will get the log file on your USB stick.

[Bug 379157] Re: [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens)
Jordi, I have made a PPA and built a package with the upstream patch there. This is the first time I build and publish using a PPA, so I'm not 100 % sure I did it correctly, but at least on the third attempt I didn't get any error messages, and on the fourth I'm pretty sure I got the patch in before it was built. https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/ppa/ In order to build the newest driver I had to make the PPA depend on the xorg-edgers PPA. This is because the newest driver will not build without limdrm-dev is >= 2.4.11 and the version in Jaunty is 2.4.5. In practice this means that you must use the xorg-edgers PPA and then replace xserver-xorg-video-intel with the one in my PPA. With a Jauny LiveCD/LiveUSB it is probably easiest to use the xorg-edgers-live-test script from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/xorg-server/xorg- pkg-tools/files (you can include it on the USB stick, or simply download it from the LiveCD session) to install the packages from the xorg- edgers. Then the driver from my PPA can be installed to replace the one from xorg-edgers. Try if this works for you first. Another option is to use a Karmic LiveCD with KMS turned off at boot, verify that the issue is present (there's no reason it shouldn't) and only install intel driver. That avoids using the xorg-edgers PPA, but I think I will have to rebuild for karmic then. -- [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Jordi, I saw the path upstream. I am on a conference this week, so I'm not sure I will have time to follow up right now (but maybe). It should be okay to test this with a LiveCD. I use a USB stick, so I don't have to burn CDs all the time. It also faster, since a CD is quite slow to read. With the USB Creator utility it is also really easy. I seems to be in intrepid and up by default, but has also been backported to hardy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/usb-creator . With a USB stick with 2 GB or above, it could be useful to allow persistent storage. That should allow you to upgrade some packages and they will still be there the next time you boot. The latest patch will dump all driver registers to the log file before and after the load detection, and I hope that it should be enough for Ling to find out what is going wrong. Both you and I, and probably also Ling, has put so much time into getting this fixed that it would be a shame if it wasn't fixed. -- [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Geir, Did you see the upstream new patch? Recently after an update the Xserver didn't want to start (too much updates I guess) and I installed Hardy.

Thank you. The two logs are about as equal as they can be. The only lines that differ are the timestamp and one memory address in the backtrace. Although you don't write it explicitly, I assume that after the reboot, the ubuntu2gomyhr version performed just the same as the ubuntu0sarvatt version. I see you haven't reported this upstream, so I'll do it in a minute. The driver version in karmic alpha-2 is 2.7.99.1 and I think this is actually a little bit older than the one you have been testing (2.7.99 from early June). The main difference in Karmic is that it also has a newer linux kernel, and for some tasks that the kernel handles (typically accelerated stuff) the fix may actually be in the kernel. Actually, after alpha-2 was released kernel mode setting has been enabled in the newer Karmic. This means that the code responsible for detecting monitors is moved to the kernel (but it is ported from the -intel driver so this bug is probably present both places). If they find the underlying problem upstream, they can probably fix it in both places, but it would be nice if you could verify that after a fix is released. -- [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Did you use the 0ubuntu0sarvatt that I compiled or the one from the PPA? I'm asking because I want to be sure it is the patch and not anything else that accounts from the bad behaviour. To get a better idea about what is going wrong, you can start ubuntu without the splash screen by pressing Esc to get the Grub boot menu on startup, e to edit the command line for the default menu item and then remove the options splash and quit from the parameters.

[Bug 379157] Re: [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens)
Hi Jordi, The packages you need are all in the xorg-edgers PPA. To install all the dependencies, after you have added the lines to /etc/apt/sources.list you have to run `apt-get update` and `apt-get dist-upgrade` (dist- upgrade is stronger than upgrade in that it also installs new packages if needed). If you want to revert back to standard Jaunty later, you should write down what packages are installed and upgraded, so that you can remove and downgrade later. But you mentioned above that you will reinstall later anyway, and in that case you can just go ahead. > I attach the output of dpkg -i Would you mind prepending commands with LANG=en when uploading their outputs? My catalán is a bit rusty... (it's sufficently close to castellano that I could understand this one, but in general...). Not exactly sure how it works with sudo, maybe `export LANG=en` is necessary.

As you probably have seen, there is a patch upstream against the newest driver. The easiest way to get the latest -intel driver with all it dependencies is to use the xorg-edgers PPA. Like last time, I have built two packages for you and put them at http://www.kvante.info/LP379157/ . The 0ubuntu0sarvatt package is just the same as what is in the PPA right now, included so that we make sure the different to the other package 0ubuntu2gomyhr is only the upstream patch. Keep in mind that this is a debug patch, which means that whether it works or not along with the Xorg.0.log with ModeDebug enabled is going to give the developers some answers they need in order to find a final solution. -- [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What I'm not sure about is wheather disabling that patch or just changing it is the right thing to do. I will hopefully have time to look at it tomorrow. If you want to give it a try with disabling it, you can do that by commenting it out in the "series" file in the debian/patches directory (if I remember the file name correctly - it's the only file there which is not a patch).

Assuming that we may patch the 2.7.1 driver installed and the x-updates entries in /etc/apt/sources.list (from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/) , this is how to do it (the ubuntu/debian way): 1.

Install the packages that xserver-xorg-video-intel needs to build: `sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-intel` 3. (Optional) Make a subdirectory for the source code `mkdir intel-testing; cd intel-testing` 4. Get the source package xserver-xorg-video-intel `apt-get source xorg-server-video-intel`.

[Bug 379157] Re: [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens)
Thank you for the additional information. A few more questions: 1. You say this worked in Hardy. Did you use the "i810" legacy driver that was available in Hardy, or did it also work with the "intel" driver? If you don't remember, it would be nice if you could test a Hardy LiveCD and upload the Xorg.0.log here. 2. Do you have the possibility to attach another monitor to the VGA connector and see if it works? This should tell us if it is something particular with the TV that triggers this or if it is a generic problem with driver and your VGA adapter. 3. It would be interesting to see if the monitor is detected using other programs than xorg. Could you try `sudo get-edid >edid.bin 2>get-edid-errors.txt` and upload the files here? (edid.bin is binary, but if the monitor isn't detected it will be empty) You will need the read-edid package for this. Another program that does this is ddcprobe (run `sudo ddcprobe` and attach the output here). This is in the package xresprobe. With the above questions answered, I think this bug is ready to be forwarded to the intel developers. If you want to give the xorg-edgers repository a try, I would wait until you have done that and create the upstream bug report with the logs from that release. If not, it is okay to forward it with the current information. However, you may be asked to test the latest development version later to test any proposed fixes. So this gives the final question: 4.

Didn't have time today to try more things... ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27151336/Xorg.0.log -- [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 379157] Re: [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens)
Jordi, a crash is what happens when a program performs an illegal operation and is terminated by the operating system. In your case this is not what happens, so I have removed the crash tag and changed the title. What happens (see bottom of the last Xorg.0.log) is that the driver doesn't detect anything on the VGA connector, gets a bit confused and says "no screens" (because it doesn't know where to display an image) and the exits gracefully. I have a few more questions: 1. What is the exact model of your Samsung TV? 2. Exactly how is it connected to the computer? Is there a VGA cable attaching them directly or are there any adapters involved? And I would ask you to try the following: 3. Try the 2.7.1 driver from the x-updates personal private archive (PPA) at https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates . Is the bug fixed there? 4. If it isn't, could you add the line Option "ModeDebug" "true" to the "Device" section of your xorg.conf, log out and in again and attach the resulting Xorg.0.log here. The ModeDebug option should give some more information about what the driver is up to. If you are ready for some hard-core testing, you may also try the xorg- edgers PPA which have the very newest drivers from the development tree. This has a higher chance of breaking something, but if you don't mind reinstalling afterwards it should be fine. https://launchpad.net/~xorg- edgers/+archive/ppa ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- [i945G] Samsung TV not detected on VGA output (no screens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
