Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
When installing natty on this hardware [zotac geforce 9300 motherboard] with onboard nvidia chipset, the [recommended] driver causes the system to hang during boot. It goes to a purple screen with no logo, and the HD continues activity as if the boot occurred, but the screen never comes alive to login. [auto login was selected, not stop in login screen]. The 173.14.30 drivers continue to work fine, but an upgrade to the recommended driver version [whatever that is because it is not reported in the dialog] causes the freeze on boot. This condition occurred on 10.04, but cleared itself with an additional reboot. I will attach the "additional drivers" screenshot. - ww ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 173.14.30 Sat Apr 16 21:49:29 PDT 2011 GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Tue May 31 10:58:58 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: nvidia-173, 173.14.30, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 270.41.06, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9300 / nForce 730i] [10de:086c] (rev b1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:cb79] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) JockeyStatus: xorg:nvidia_173 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use) xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) MachineType: NVIDIA MCP7A ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=06bee02f-8d93-477e-8a49-6a54590a6e78 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 Renderer: Unknown SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display Title: Xorg freeze UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XorgConf: Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Option "NoLogo" "True" EndSection dmi.bios.date: 01/06/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD dmi.bios.version: 6.00 PG dmi.board.name: MCP7A dmi.board.vendor: NVIDIA dmi.board.version: 2 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: NVIDIA dmi.chassis.version: MCP7A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologies,LTD:bvr6.00PG:bd01/06/2009:svnNVIDIA:pnMCP7A:pvr2:rvnNVIDIA:rnMCP7A:rvr2:cvnNVIDIA:ct3:cvrMCP7A: dmi.product.name: MCP7A dmi.product.version: 2 dmi.sys.vendor: NVIDIA version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs 20090808ubuntu13 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu6 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 version.nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-graphics-drivers N/A version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110107+b795ca6e-0ubuntu7 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug freeze natty regression-update ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790822 Title: Xorg freeze during boot after upgrading driver _______________________________________________ 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
