Re: Seeking some advice

[Greg Faith]

Thanks Phill.. I think the Xserver-Nvidia issue is the problem.
I was not having the problem on live sessions and iso installs
on say 20120817 or there about.

20120820
The first time I tried the USB everything went fine plymouth
finished and I was expecting the session to start normally.
But I got a graphics mess that I could do nothing with.

Second boot same USB I picked nomodeset as I had heard it
works on some graphic issues.  I get the low graphic plymouth
and low resolution live session but installs worked well.

I will continue to check this from time to time... Maybe even drop
a bug against xorg/nvidia

Anyway Thanks again for asking around for me.. you r da-man

Hi Greg,

After some questioning, this is the result...

(12:29:44) phillw: Hi folks, could some one please advise as to against
what this bug should be reported...http://pastebin.com/SRLnr5fB
(12:30:21) tjaalton: the kernel
(12:30:52) phillw: tjaalton: thanks!
(12:31:41) tjaalton: although
(12:32:04) tjaalton: what does "get live session working" mean
(12:32:06) tjaalton: ?
(12:32:46) phillw: it means that the tester has to insert nomode to get it
to run?
(12:32:58) phillw: In my distinctly amateur opinion I'd suspect
nvidia-graphics-drivers since it could well be fallout from the new X
stack.
(12:33:04) tjaalton: no
(12:33:11) tjaalton: you don't have that on a live-cd
(12:34:03) phillw: okies, so it is a kernel regression?
(12:34:17) tjaalton: phillw: not necessarily
(12:34:54) tjaalton: is there a boot splash? does X start but hang later?
(12:36:43) phillw: I'm surmising from the tester that he needs to alter the
boot sequence to get X to actually run. Once he knows where to file the
bug, he will be able to give more information. He's an experienced tester,
just unsure as to what to report this one against.
(12:37:04) tjaalton: ubuntu-bug xorg
(12:37:14) phillw: thanks.
(12:37:18) tjaalton: that's a good place to start..

When filing the bug, please do answer the question about the presence, or
lack, of the splash screen.

Thanks,

Phill.

Seeking some advice

[Greg Faith]

Here is the situation.

I am using a live persistent USB of the Lubuntu quantal desktop amd64
20120819 to

run live and install test cases. Presently I using a Dell D620 and
Lenovo T61p to do full

hardware installs.  The Dell D620 boots up live with no problem, but
the Lenovo with

nvidia graphics requires me to set F6 "nomodeset" to get the Live
session working.

Now with all that said a week ago I did not have to set the
"nomodeset" on the Lenovo

to get the live session working.  It is not really a big problem for
me as I have worked

through the issue, but I can see where a new user with a Lenovo kit
with nvidia graphic

might have a difficult time.

I guess I am wondering should a bug be filed against the kernel as it
appear to be a

regression?
