** Description changed: - Mythbuntu installs with an NVIDIA graphics card generally have a - modified xorg.conf that sets the DPI to 100x100 so that it looks correct - on a Television set. + [Impact] + * Upon upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 from an earlier LTS release the user's xorg.conf is renamed. Any custom settings they've made will be removed. - Upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 the xorg.conf was renamed and the display - did not look correct at all. + * Specifically for Mythbuntu 12.04 LTS users with NVIDIA graphics, they + have a custom DPI setting that gets removed upon upgrade to 14.04. - This is the xorg.conf that was on the system + * This has been fixed in utopic by testing if it's the first time that + ubuntu-drivers has ran. If so, it sets a first boot flag so that no + settings are removed. - Section "Screen" - Identifier "Default Screen" - DefaultDepth 24 - EndSection + [Test Case] - Section "Device" - Identifier "Default Device" - Driver "nvidia" - Option "DPI" "100x100" - Option "NoLogo" "1" - EndSection + * This can be reproduced by installing a 12.04 based release, creating + an xorg.conf and upgrading to 14.04. If the xorg.conf is renamed then + the bug is hit. - Section "Extensions" - Option "Composite" "Disable" - EndSection + * This can also be reproduced directly on 14.04 by removing /var/lib + /ubuntu-drivers-common/last_gfx_boot, creating an xorg.conf and + rebooting. This would simulate the same behavior. + [Regression Potential] - After upgrade it was renamed from /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.04142014 + * Part of the intention of ubuntu-drivers-common is to prevent problems + on people who have upgraded and now have hybrid graphics supported + cards. This won't make their situation any worse than previously it + would have been before ubuntu-driver-common existed. - Renaming it back fixed the problem. - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 - Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:0.220.2 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 - Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic i686 - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu2 - Architecture: i386 - CrashDB: ubuntu - Date: Mon Apr 14 09:31:36 2014 - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader - Symptom: ubuntu-release-upgrader - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-14 (0 days ago) - VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: + * Any functional users in the field should still remain functional. + This only affects the first boot scenario.
