:-) OK, OK, I made a bit more progress. I found the following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 , which tells me to edit the grub options, I should hold down the shift key from the time I start the system until the time the grub command line appears. And I did this using the system installed on the hard drive which wouldn't go before. So it did as pictured in that website, and I highlighted the first option on the list shown, and pressed the e key which took me to a screen to edit text or options for that item. After the "ro quiet splash" I added "i915.modeset=0", or in other words, after my addition, that part looked like "ro quiet splash i915.modeset=0" . Then, I pressed control x which booted the system.and it worked. But, I must do this each time I start up the system. So how do I get this to be permanent? -- "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404421 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

Didn't see anything that looked relevant in the grub.cfg :-( Well, I think I have to throw in the towel on this one. It's pretty frustrating. On the one hand, the UI in Ubuntu is far superior to that found in Windows or Mac for that matter. On the other hand, each time I try to switch to some Linux distroeach and every single time issues like this come up forcing me to stay with Windows :-( If it's not the touchscreen, it's the fingerprint reader, and if not that then it's the 3G GSM connectivity, if not that something else.

I think the args from the boot cmdline are supposed to be copied on the installed system, either the ones before "--" or the ones afterwards.

[Bug 404421] Re: "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915
So I made a little more progress. In that syslinux folder, there is a file called text.cfg. I opened that file with notepad, and found some lines which looked similar to what you described. In the first 2 instances where I saw the "boot=casper", I highlighted the "casper" part and pasted "casper -- i915.modeset=0" and then saved the file. (Just to note, only the Fedora LiveUSB creator worked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick . Other USB programs produced what seemed like an identical set of files on my USB, including the USB creator included in the .iso itself, but only the Fedora one makes this work for me.) And this almost worked. I booted once again from the USB, chose the 2nd option, which was to install (first option was to just run the system off of the USB), and it progressed fully through the installation procedure, all the way through to the final reboot, upon which I was prompted to remove the USB. I did, and the system booted from what I had installed on the hard drive. But during the boot process, the same problem. The change was not maintained in the installation. Now, I am running just the live USB, and will try the installation option from the Ubuntu desktop itself instead of the installation directly from the USB. I will post again if doing it this way will work. But if that does not work, please tell me where I can find that text.cfg file on the fully installed system. This way, I could run from the USB, and then browse through the files on the hard drive and edit the file that way. -- "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404421 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

I tried pressing the key in grub, and adding a new line with "i915.modeset=0" and then using + key combination to boot, but I'm still getting the problem, so apparently this does not cause grub to pass the command to the kernel. Can someone please tell me where I went wrong and what I should be doing differently?

[Bug 404421] Re: "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915
I have a similar problem with a G33: boot begins normally and at some point it is in text mode and (I think) flickers a lot with the error message: failed to restore crtc configuration -22. I was able to switch between text consoles (I could see the ttyX and login prompt briefly) and finally by playing between consoles it finally decided to start xorg (it might be completely unrelated though). I attach the dmesg if it can help. ** Attachment added: "drm-error-fialed-to-restore-crtc-config-22" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34705951/drm-error-fialed-to-restore-crtc-config-22 -- "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404421 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

I'm seeing the same problem on an IBM/Lenovo Thinkcentre M52 (Model 9210-KGB) small form factor desktop with an LG L1800P monitor attached to a Belkin 4-port ps/2 KVM. Original description: Based on 9210-D1U: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 630 with HT Technology, 512MB, 80GB 7200RPM S-ATA HDD, PCI/PCIe Small Form Factor (2x3), Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 16x DVD-ROM, Intel Gigabit Ethernet, POV. It says the GPU is an Intel 950 but Karmic identifies it as an 82945 so I think I see a pattern forming. I don't know if it's relevant but I have got a problem with Jaunty on this machine too. It worked fine when I installed it but now (after a full set of updates) it comes up offering me low graphics mode saying that there are no modes available then says display :0 is busy and has to open a display on :1. -- "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404421 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

I also have this problem, but I'm using a Samsung Q1 Ultra. I get the problem when I upgrade to Karmic 9.10 from regular ubuntu, from ubuntu netbook remix 9.04, and from xubuntu 9.04 32-bit versions in each case. I also get the problem when trying to do a fresh install of Karmic 9.10 with Wubi, even if I specify safe graphics mode during the first run. I have noticed this with alpha 4 and alpha 5. I can't remeber if alpha 3 worked or not, but I did not have this problem with alpha 1 or alpha 2. -- "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404421 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
