Public bug reported:
I helped my friend Roger setup five systems running ubuntu with boinc
running in the background for the Einstein@home project. One has a AMD
Phenom 9950 CPU, and the others have AMD FX-8320E, FX-8150, FX-8350, and
FX-8370 CPUs. All have the X64 version of ubuntu installed. In an
effort to speed up processing, we install NVidia GTX 1060 graphics cards
in three of them.
We added the nvidia-367 kernel driver to two systems that were already
upgraded to 16.04 LTS (they use Lightdm and Unity with Xorg). They now
use the GPU for one of the processes without problems.
This problem system (with the FX-8150 CPU) was originally using Ubuntu
Precise Pangolin and running Enlightenment instead of Unity. It was
using Trusty when we installed the new graphics card. It still used the
Nouveau video driver. I had problems installing the NVidia kernel
driver on that, so I gave up and used the 'do-release-upgrade' script to
do the upgrade to 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial). Everything seemed OK until I
added the NVidia driver to the system. Now, after every reboot the
display goes thru the text boot sequence, and flashes briefly when
loading X, but then the screen goes blank until rebooting again.
Fortunately, I found I could open a ssh session (or use scp to copy
files) to the system. The NVidia GPU is being used by one of the BOINC
jobs, even with the blank screen on the console!
After a lot of horsing around, I moved the file failsafe-x.conf from
/etc/init to /root, so I could try various hacks to get the display to
work. It took me a long time to find the error message in file
/home/roger/.xsession-errors. It says:
openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
main init win: 1920x1080 for 1d4
screen region screen 0x6e4140: 0 0 1920x1080
CRI: modules/evas/engines/gl_x11/evas_engine.c:2511 eng_image_native_set()
eina_log_print() unknown domain -1, original message format 'GLX Pixmap create
fail'
action halt 3
action reboot 3
action suspend 3
action hibernate 3
The 5th line (starting with 'CRI') led me to the efl source package
associated with enlightenment, (which I installed in /usr/src). It
seems to have source for a number of DLLs for e17. I found the line
from the message in file:
'/usr/src/efl-1.8.6/src/modules/evas/engines/gl_x11/evas_engine.c'.
I don't know how to proceed from here. I assume the apport-bug job gave
most of the system state information. Is there a way to look at the
various X processes that are running? Please advise..
