Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
I can't start the lucid beta 2 liveCD on a computer with a Nvidia GeForce 6200 SE (NV44A rev A1) : the screen stays blank after booting. It works properly with a lucid alpha 3 liveCD, and with a karmic liveCD. I managed to install the beta 2 on this computer through the alternate CD : the behavior is the same when booting on the hard drive. I installed all the updates (as of 16th april 2040) : same behavior I experience the precise same behavior with Fedora live : Fedora 12 live boots correctly (but relies on "nv" driver), Fedora 13 beta live gives the same blank screen (and also uses "nouveau" driver). I think this is a regression in the "nouveau" graphic driver : the version bundled with lucid alpha 3 works, the one with lucid beta 2 (or fedora 13 beta) does not. Here is an excerpt of the dmesg on beta 2 : nouveau 0000:03:00.0: RAMHT space exhausted. ch=0 nouveau 0000:03:00.0: Error referencing VRAM ctxdma: -12 nouveau 0000:03:00.0: gpuobj -12 This error message does not appear when using lucid alpha 3. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Regression : no image when starting lucid beta 2, with Nvidia Geforce6200 NV44A. "Error referencing VRAM ctxdma: -12". Worked in alpha 3 and in karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 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
