** Tags added: apport-collected has-workaround reproducible trusty

** Description changed:

  ...But not always. Sometimes the boot-up gets to a normal greeter
  screen. Often as not, though, I get a blank gray greeter screen. I can
  type my password blindly and get in to the GDM, usually. But sometimes I
  can't -- because I can't see the underlying screens and have to guess
  what field I'm typing into, etc.
  
  I can go to a console via Ctr+{[1-6]}  and restart the GDM and then the
  greeter screen is normal and I can log in normally.
  
  Also, between screen modes at boot-up and on entering the GDM, there is
  ugly flickering and screen garbage that lasts a good second or so.

I couldn't even install Trusty, btw, without booting the Live ISO with
nomodeset; otherwise, I had no panel or menus, as described above.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1251165] Re: Boot-up typically opens to blank gray greeter screen

2014-02-04 Thread Dallman Ross
The bug is still there in a new installation of Trusty GNOME Ubuntu
daily built (updated fully) and is still there in my always-updated
Saucy installation.

It's discouraging to submit a bug report, hear nothing for three months,
and then get an email that since nothing has happened on the bug report
(ahem!), I should download and install the current daily build of the
next release (Trusty). Nevertheless, I finally did just that.

The bug is the same. GNOME Ubuntu, whether Saucy or Trusty, is nearly
unusuable on my computer because of it. I have to reboot multiple times
and sometimes can succeed in logging in. I can go to a console and
restart gdm and sometimes successfully get in. Once in a blue moon the
greeter screen actually shows up normally. Otherwise, it is gray and I
have to try to type my password in blind. Sometimes that works. I have
to hit the Enter key first (to set focus on my username, I presume).

I can load the OS with nomodeset and get to the greeter screen, but
that is really ugly and pretty much a useless approach for my daily
needs.

Right now in Trusty I have no panels and no menus. If I boot to Saucy
and then boot back to Trusty I might have panels again. If I apply
nomodeset I might have panels again. I can't find the terminal command
to restore the panels, and I haven't had sufficient google-fu to find
out how online.

My video card is a Radeon HD 4350. I'm pretty sure that's the source of
the trouble.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1251165] [NEW] Boot-up typically opens to blank gray greeter screen

2013-11-14 Thread Dallman Ross
Public bug reported:

...But not always. Sometimes the boot-up gets to a normal greeter
screen. Often as not, though, I get a blank gray greeter screen. I can
type my password blindly and get in to the GDM, usually. But sometimes I
can't -- because I can't see the underlying screens and have to guess
what field I'm typing into, etc.

I can go to a console via Ctr+{[1-6]}  and restart the GDM and then the
greeter screen is normal and I can log in normally.

Also, between screen modes at boot-up and on entering the GDM, there is
ugly flickering and screen garbage that lasts a good second or so.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 106060] Re: [r128 1002:5446] Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze. It is completely unresponsive.

2010-05-07 Thread Dallman Ross
My computer running Lucid -- and before the upgrade -- Karmic -- on a
64-bit AMD platform has locked up twice with the screensaver under
Lucid.  It only does it once in a while.  Another time it almost locked
up but I was able to get it back after repeated slaps at the Esc key.
Unfortunately, I did not look to see what the screensaver is named.  It
was the one where columns of green text-like figures slide vertically
down the screen on a black background.
