[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 429419] Re: xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot
Last update until the problem is solve ... I think i found something worth interest. Today, i installed the fglrx driver from the repositories of Kubuntu 9.10 RC and it installed well. Then after i reboot i logged normally and then i had to setup the correct screen resolution. No big deal so far but when i reboot same problem as before. But i reboot again and choose the normal boot instead of the recovery mode i wanted. During the boot, a routine file system check has been performed automaticly (i think it is performed automaticly after a certain amount of boot) and then resume to the rest of the boot process. SURPRISE ! I had my graphic back !!! But my joy was short because when i had to reboot the problem shown up again. I wanted to see if it was just a lucky shot or it was something else so i reboot lots of times until the file system check was performed again and guess what? Yes, i had my graphic back again ! There is something in that file system check that seems to repair somehow the problem but not permanently just until the next reboot. I don't know much about programming but i'd bet it has something to do with the use (or no use) of the xorg.conf file by Kubuntu 9.10. Maybe it's a good clue or maybe not, as i said i'm not a programmer but the fact everything return to normal after the automatic file system check, even if it only solved my problem until i reboot, i think it might worth investigating.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 429419] Re: xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot
Update ... I installed ATI Catalyst 9-10(8.661) on a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Release Candidate. The driver installed well but during the driver installation a xorg.conf has been created by the ATI Catalyst installer(because there was no xorg.conf file present in /etc/X11 folder) and when i reboot i had no graphic so i reboot again and choose the recovery mode. I had to delete the xorg.conf file and create a new one again and configuring it with aticonfig --initial -f then reboot again to have it work correctly. When i finaly got in the desktop i had to reconfigure the screen resolution using sudo amdcccle. Note if i just reboot after that everything stays ok but if i shotdown my computer and restart it instead of just doing a reboot the problem shows up again and i have to reboot in recovery mode to do the same process. So to be short, the problem is the same i had with Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 4 with the previous driver of ATI Catalyst. My guess is Kubuntu 9.10 does not use xorg.conf the same way the previous versions of Kubuntu were using it. The problem is the ATI driver NEEDS this file to be installed and configured correctly. However, the xorg.conf file seems to become corrupted or obselete after shotdown but seems to keep its integrity after a reboot. P.S. : The recovery mode of kernel 2.6.31-14 is buggy, sometimes it's unusable because it's showing strange rendomly placed messages when i using the arrows to move between the options. I'll check if there is a bug report for that. -- xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 429419] Re: xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot
An other update ... I made the update this afternoon and it asked me to reboot. I reboot and no graphic, what a surprised you'd say but the problem is my little workaround isn't working anymore. I had to uninstall ATI driver to regain access to the login screen and then to the desktop environement. It's no big deal but i'd like to know why it worked and now it's no longer working. Sorry to multi-post like that but i think it might be a good idea to post any changes about the problem in order to have a better idea of how to solve it. -- xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 429419] Re: xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot
I just want to mention that the very same driver (dowloaded from AMD website) worked perferctly on Karmic Alpha 4 and despise the xorg.conf bug i had in Alpha 5 everything was working fine after the login and the problem was only during the boot. Bug now even with the restricted drivers from the repositories i can't even reach the login screen because my computer crashed. I guess i will not be using compiz for a while lol. I hope the new version of the ATI Catalyst driver will be the good one. One more thing, in the make.log file it is mentioned something like this You must be logged in as root to run this script. but i was in the terminal with the root@ so it's not making any sens to me. How can i get this while i'm logged as root. Sorry to double post but i think it might be important to mention it.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 429419] Re: xorg.conf needs to be reconfigured at each reboot
I made the updates this morning (Wed, 16 sep. 6h10am Quebec time) and i had a major bug. During the installation of the update of the kernel 2.6.31-10, i had lots of lines with SEGV messages saying somthing like process interrupted by SEGV signal and the next line ending with respawning and those line repeated endlessly till my computer stalled and i had to reboot and when i did it, i had a message i had to run fsck manually. Thats what i did and after i ran this command, i reboot with CONTROL+D. Unfortunatly, the ploblem was still there and it keep asking me to run fsck manually and i had to reinstall Kubuntu 9.04. Obviously the problem is the kernel 2.6.31-10 because since that kernel is out, i had all kinds of bugs. So i guess i'll wait for Alpha 6 before upgrading my Kubuntu again. Lets hope Lady-luck will be with me lol. If the problem with xorg comes out again after the upgrade to Alpha 6 i will post the output you asked. Of course if in the Alpha 6 xorg is ok i will let you know as well.
