Re: [Bug 67826] Re: Boot starts with: "setting mode nnn x nnn failed"
I don't think this is a driver problem either. If I'm not mistaken, the nVidia (or whatever) drivers aren't even loaded at this point, which means it's still using the standard VESA driver until X loads up. It's also interesting that this is affecting everyone with 1440x900 screens, which is a 16:10 (8:5) resolution; however, the screenmode we are being told has failed is a 4:3 resolution, as is the fallback 1024x768 (which is a standard SVGA resolution I had never heard of 1152x864 before this issue came up). -Original Message- From: Gabe Gorelick Subject: [Bug 67826] Re: Boot starts with: "setting mode nnn x nnn failed" Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:19:25 - @kris, I agree this doesn't look like a driver issue, especially since I still get this without using the nVidia driver. Can anyone confirm this on non-nVidia hardware? -- Boot starts with: "setting mode nnn x nnn failed" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67826 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
Re: [Bug 67826] Re: Boot starts with: "setting mode nnn x nnn failed"
I got frustrated and decided to give Linux Mint a try. So far, I love Linux Mint more than Kubuntu. Now I don't have to worry about manually installing mp3, flash, dvd, support etc. I haven't gotten this error since I switched to Mint. www.linuxmint.com Linux Mint is Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu with 3rd party stuff already added.

I ended up installing Linux Mint 5. I'm not sure why Mint is working better since it's based on Ubuntu.
