Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 9.04 beta on my notebook. It's not so old machine
- HP nx6110.
I have been using Ubuntu on it since Dapper Drake (6.06) and all in all it was
rather good experience.
Having tested some Alpha releases from previous versions (from 8 series), I
found Ubuntu Beta release quite stable...
until yesterday update!
The installation was a breeze until I decided to update the system. After
downloading 197 MB of updates I installed all of them. Before restarting the
system the screen became striped displaying a lot of vertical stripes in
various colors.
After the restart the error message appeared:
"Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode
The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration
to solve this.
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(EE) [drm] drm open failed
(EE) intel (0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI
(EE) intel (0): Couldn't allocate video memory."
The build in graphics is Intel 915 GM Express Chipset (or Intel 910 GM,
I'm not sure).
I was trying to fix it using xfix option from the Recovery Menu, but I didn't
succeed.
The bug is so serious that I couldn't restart the system and installed another
Ubuntu 9.04 beta side by side.
I made another update and installed all the same 197 MB of packages except for
xserver-xorg-video-intel.
After installation everything have been working great so far.
So I found the package that caused a serious bug and made my Ubuntu 9.04
unusable!
Reading the description of the changes of the package I found that the buggy
versions of the package are:
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu4 or ubuntu3.
The package provided with Ubuntu 9.04 beta works great for me. So you have
managed to fix tree bugs [(LP: #317457) (LP: #322646) (LP: #304614)] and
make another one extra.
I hope my report will help You to fix that bug which makes Ubuntu
unusable on my HP nx6110 notebook.
For more info see the attached logs.
