[Bug 62230] Re: Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv
Thank you for reporting this issue about xserver-xorg-video-nv. Starting with Lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning to using the -nouveau video driver by default instead of -nv. The reason for this change is because upstream development for the -nv driver has been quite slow. We are quite pleased with the upstream development speed for -nouveau, and hope this will translate into swifter bug fixes as well. Because of this, I'm closing this bug report at this time. I'm marking it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue, but we do not have further plans to work on it in Ubuntu. If you would still like to see this issue investigated, I would encourage you to file it upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62230 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've had the same problem. My work around was to drop to tty from the login prompt (clicking the login window corrupted and froze the system) and then remove the current nvidia drivers: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-* Install the latest: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 and then run nvidia xconfig nvidia-xconfig After a reboot everything worked. -- Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62230 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

In the end I installed Ubuntu 9.10 using the alternate installer, first installing the "command line system", then installing the Ubuntu Desktop using tasksel, and in the end installing the NVIDIA drivers (nvida-glx, ...), and finally copying the xorg.conf from my working 9.04 system. -- Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62230 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 62230] Re: Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv
I can confirm this bug in Karmic Koala. I've got a similar videocard, namely a 7800 GT based one: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT] (rev a1) My motherboard is the same too: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe The Ubuntu 9.10 final LiveCD won't boot with either default settings nor safe mode. With the default settings, before X starts, the graphical output is fine. When X starts, the screen is filled with seemingly random coloured dots. In safe mode, when X gets started no graphical output is seen whatsoever. But, more annoyingly, the non-graphical screen keeps flashing (text gone and back and gone and back...), and while the text output is gone, characters typed don't appear to get through to the system. Meaning that you basically can't type anything meaningful: I tried to start creating a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, but only 1 out of 30 characters typed appeared on the screen. The only useful thing I could do was reboot. -- Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62230 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

The fix for bug 385658 redoes how card detection works with -nv and may solve this bug. Please test Karmic-beta or newer and let us know whether it resolves the original issue. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62230 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 62230] Re: Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv
** Description changed: With every version of Edgy (including the latest Knot 3), the graphics has been corrupt upon bootup of the LiveCD. When you enter Start/Install Ubuntu the system appears to start and then it gets to the GNOME splash screen (the oblong rectangular one). Once it's at this point, the graphics of the splash screen will get all corrupted and artifacted as if the video RAM had been damaged. Then the whole system will completely lock up hard (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE does not stop X server). This happens in both regular and safe graphics mode. With Dapper, it only did this in the regular mode and the safe mode was fine, but this is not the case with Edgy. This has been a bug for quite a while and I am not the only one affected. I can imagine the number of gamers with the same card as me (GeForce 7800GT). I would like to see this fixed soon.

[Bug 62230] Re: Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv
I can confirm through my own experiences that this problem is still present in both the Feisty (7.04) and Gusty Tribe 5 (7.10) live cds In either version: With two monitors turned on and present, Screen 1 will appear fine for a few moments while Screen 2 looks like its stuck in 80x25 text mode only with flashing colors and high-ASCII characters on the screen. When the splash screen appears (Xsession splash screen, not the boot screen) it gets squished down into a few lines on top of Screen 1. In my case I'm able to at least move the mouse--but I have nothing to click on (or nothing changes); my keyboard is also unresponsive and I can't attempt to kill X or switch to a virtual term. I'm able to boot both live cds in safe graphical mode (using the vesa driver) Nvidia's binary driver works perfectly after install ** Attachment added: "lspci output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9286001/lspci -- Corrupt graphics on boot with 7800GT/nv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
