| hwilde | hello my resolution unexplainably downgraded to 800x600. I get a warning when I login about low res mode. I have reinstalled the nvidia drivers and they are enabled. I have restored my xorg.conf. http://pastebin.com/m4253e049 | 03:13 |
| hwilde | I would like to report a bug with the last xserver update | 03:14 |
| hwilde | it was previously working fine at 1680x1050 for the entire time of 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 | 03:15 |

| hwilde | it was previously working fine at 1680x1050 for the entire time of 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 | 04:27 |
| crimsun | hwilde: 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.2 from hardy-security? | 04:27 |
| hwilde | crimsun, how to get that version number | 04:27 |
| crimsun | either check the changelog or dpkg -l | 04:27 |
| crimsun | dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core|awk '/^ii/ {print $3}' | 04:28 |
| hwilde | lol | 04:29 |
| hwilde | yes the version number you listed is what I have | 04:29 |
| hwilde | this was working until yesterday | 04:29 |
| hwilde | is that what changed | 04:29 |
| crimsun | can you confirm that reverting to 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9 resolves the symptom? | 04:29 |
| hwilde | !downgrade | crimsun | 04:30 |
| ubottu | crimsun: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 04:30 |
| crimsun | (yes, I'm well aware. I used to be core-dev.) I'm asking for testing purposes. | 04:30 |
| hwilde | how can I revert? | 04:31 |
| crimsun | first we need to find which packages need to be reverted. | 04:31 |
| crimsun | dpkg -l|awk '/2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.2/ {print $2}' | 04:32 |
| hwilde | xserver-xorg-core | 04:32 |
| crimsun | ok, so you need: sudo apt-get -thardy --reinstall install xserver-xorg-core | 04:32 |
| hwilde | ok but it might take me awhile to get back to this 800x600 to confirm... cya on the other side | 04:33 |
| crimsun | ok. | 04:33 |
| hwilde | crimsun, that didn't take long | 04:36 |
| hwilde | now it says I am not using the nvidia x driver and to run nvidia-xconfig | 04:36 |
| hwilde | doing this has no effect | 04:37 |
| crimsun | did you reboot? | 04:37 |
| crimsun | or at least restart gdm? | 04:37 |
| hwilde | ctrl+alt+backspace ? | 04:37 |
| crimsun | well, that will zap (kill) the X server, but there's no telling whether it restarts properly | 04:37 |
| hwilde | since when do you have to reboot linux | 04:38 |
| crimsun | there are quite a few instances. This may not be one, hence my recommendation that you at least restart gdm. | 04:38 |
| hwilde | yes I did this | 04:38 |
| hwilde | twice | 04:38 |
| crimsun | with the resulting symptom as reported? | 04:39 |
| hwilde | it is still in low res mode, and it says it not using nvidia driver | 04:39 |
| crimsun | can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 04:39 |
| hwilde | is there a command line pastebin package? | 04:39 |
| crimsun | yes | 04:39 |
| crimsun | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 04:40 |
| hwilde | (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 04:40 |
| hwilde | that is probably a place to start :/ | 04:40 |
| crimsun | need more from the log, but yes, that's one thing. | 04:40 |
| hwilde | http://pastebin.com/f9ddf71a | 04:44 |
| crimsun | sec | 04:45 |
| hwilde | (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GTS | 04:46 |
| hwilde | that is the correct video card line 163 | 04:46 |
| crimsun | right, but you're using the vesa driver. | 04:47 |
| crimsun | I don't have a non-Free graphics card, so I don't know offhand if you need to rerun System> Administration> Hardware Drivers | 04:48 |
| hwilde | !nvidia | hwilde | 04:48 |
| crimsun | regardless, I don't think it has anything to do with the most recent xorg-server security update | 04:49 |
| crimsun | err, functionally, that is. | 04:49 |
| crimsun | package-wise, it may; there have been older reports of xorg.confs being clobbered, etc. | 04:49 |
| hwilde | I dunno it says nvidia-glx-new is already there | 04:50 |
| hwilde | but nvidia is not enabled | 04:50 |
| hwilde | nvidia-xconfig says it writes the xorg.conf but it has no effect | 04:50 |
| crimsun | please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:51 |
| hwilde | Bug #91292 | 04:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 91292 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 "[nvidia-glx] Resolutions lost on upgrade from Edgy to Feisty [nvidia-glx-legacy][nvidia-glx-new]" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91292 | 04:52 |
| hwilde | /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f3735bc5b | 04:53 |
| crimsun | right, so you've been bitten by that bug | 04:54 |
| hwilde | but I didn't upgrade from edgy to feisty, or nvidia anything... | 04:55 |
| hwilde | lspci output: http://pastebin.com/f46b73c6c | 04:56 |
| hwilde | also, I have the hsync and vsync specified in the xorg.conf | 04:57 |
| crimsun | is there a reason the server insists on using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe? | 05:00 |
| hwilde | on startup there is an error about it cannot detect monitor and graphics card and it is failing back to low res mode | 05:00 |
| crimsun | meaning, what happens when that file does /not/ exist but /etc/X11/xorg.conf does? | 05:00 |
| hwilde | if I choose configure and specify everything correctly it doesn't help | 05:00 |
| hwilde | i've done the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg too | 05:01 |
| hwilde | crimsun, it seems to be generating .failsafe by itself | 05:07 |
| hwilde | is it possible for a graphics card to fry in such a way that it provides lower resolution only? | 05:07 |
| crimsun | not that I'm aware | 05:08 |
| hwilde | bc my monitor is popping up a warning that says for best results change resolution to 1680x1050 | 05:08 |
| hwilde | and the monitor seems to be displaying fine | 05:08 |
| hwilde | 36 minutes until the livecd download finishes | 05:09 |
| hwilde | then I will either be buying a new video card or reinstalling | 05:09 |
| crimsun | I highly doubt your graphics card is fried. | 05:09 |
| hwilde | well I've built and troubleshot a lot of systems and i've never seen a config borked like this | 05:10 |
| crimsun | do you have a known-working copy of xorg.conf backed up somewhere? | 05:10 |
| hwilde | yes | 05:10 |
| hwilde | that is what I pastebinned | 05:10 |
| hwilde | that is what I am using | 05:10 |
| hwilde | but on boot it goes to low res mode | 05:10 |
| hwilde | it says to configure and that generates a generic xorg.conf but no better | 05:11 |
| crimsun | ok, so try removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe then forcibly symlinking it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:11 |
| crimsun | if you're really, really hard-pressed, you could even chattr +i the affected files | 05:13 |
| hwilde | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-06-15 00:21 xorg.conf.failsafe -> xorg.conf.20080613223821 | 05:14 |
| hwilde | crimsun, /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/f67e3168a | 05:21 |
| crimsun | ok, so it keeps regenerating failsafe? | 05:22 |
| hwilde | yeah it took over | 05:22 |
| hwilde | xorg.conf.failsafe http://pastebin.com/f1816c340 | 05:23 |
| crimsun | forcibly copy the correct one as failsafe, then chattr +i | 05:24 |
| crimsun | that's definitely a bug somewhere, but I haven't experienced it | 05:25 |
| hwilde | it won't boot with the 'correct' one | 05:26 |
| hwilde | well | 05:26 |
| hwilde | it will boot but x will not start | 05:26 |
| hwilde | gdm will not start I mean | 05:26 |
| hwilde | it won't even give me the login prompt | 05:26 |
| crimsun | ok, this may sound silly, but I presume you do have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic installed? | 05:27 |
| hwilde | umm aptitude status p | 05:28 |
| hwilde | != i | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Factoid i not found | 05:28 |
| hwilde | sry bot :/ | 05:28 |
| crimsun | ... | 05:28 |
| crimsun | well, that could be at least one reason why it fails ;) | 05:28 |
| hwilde | The following extra packages will be installed: | 05:29 |
| hwilde | linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic | 05:29 |
| hwilde | nvidia-kernel-common | 05:29 |
| hwilde | there are a couple more reasons | 05:29 |
| hwilde | but why? do I have to just lock down my system and not to apt-get upgrade ? | 05:29 |
| hwilde | bc I have an old laptop on 5.10 that works perfectly and i'll never upgrade that | 05:29 |
| hwilde | but this is my desktop and it's got new stuff so I like the updates | 05:29 |
| crimsun | I wonder if you have linux-generic installed. | 05:30 |
| hwilde | nope | 05:30 |
| crimsun | ok, try to keep that installed :) | 05:30 |
| hwilde | well | 05:30 |
| hwilde | wtf | 05:30 |
| hwilde | ... | 05:31 |
| hwilde | i linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic | 05:31 |
| crimsun | unrelated. | 05:31 |
| hwilde | i linux-headers-2.6.24-17-generic | 05:31 |
| hwilde | i linux-headers-generic | 05:31 |
| crimsun | both unrelated. | 05:31 |
| hwilde | i linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic | 05:31 |
| hwilde | i linux-image-generic | 05:31 |
| hwilde | how could linux-generic disappear | 05:32 |
| hwilde | this has all been working since 7.04 | 05:32 |
| hwilde | through 7.10 and 8.04 | 05:32 |
| hwilde | 8.04.1 boom | 05:32 |
| hwilde | I might as well go to intrepid | 05:33 |
| hwilde | if the updates are going to break everything atleast then I could be contributing to the beta test | 05:34 |
| crimsun | well, at least we managed to rule out the xorg-server security update as the culprit. | 05:35 |
| hwilde | yay | 05:36 |
| hwilde | only about 1400 packages remaining | 05:36 |
| hwilde | ok i've got linux-generic and restricted-modules-generic | 05:36 |
| hwilde | any last wishes before I go on a ctrl+alt+backspace/delete cycle | 05:36 |
| hwilde | 15m til I get a livecd and reinstall. | 05:37 |
| hwilde | lol now it just boots to the tty and I have to /etc/init.d/gdm start | 05:41 |
| hwilde | and it's still in low res mode | 05:41 |
| hwilde | but i've got all those generic packages now | 05:41 |
| crimsun | did you undo the chattr and symlinking? | 05:42 |
| hwilde | no | 05:42 |
| hwilde | 487 cp xorg.conf.20080613223821 xorg.conf.failsafe | 05:43 |

| hwilde | it is using the nvidia driver | 05:46 |
| hwilde | but it detects the monitor as DFP 640x480 | 05:46 |
| hwilde | could my monitor be fried?? | 05:46 |
| hwilde | it is popping up the onscreen menu begging for 1680x1050 | 05:47 |
| hwilde | crimsun, so when it says no valid modes on line 531, the graphics card is trying to output 1680x1050 but the mode for the screen does not exist? | 05:48 |
| crimsun | well, the server does minimal sanity checking, and there's no valid reported mode from the EDID | 05:49 |
| hwilde | xorg.conf Modes "1680x1050" line 122 http://pastebin.com/f6a2dbc0a | 05:49 |
| crimsun | you can either hardcode the definition as in the other xorg.conf | 05:50 |
| hwilde | as far as I can tell, it is hardcoded. | 05:50 |
| hwilde | I wish I had another video card that could output 1680x1050 to verify this monitor isn't fried | 05:51 |
| crimsun | no, it doesn't appear to be hardcoded as in http://pastebin.com/f3735bc5b | 05:52 |
| hwilde | where did yo uget that from | 05:53 |
| hwilde | well I should be able to nvidia-xconfig now | 05:53 |

| hwilde | ok I hardcoded it /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f51db186d | 05:57 |

| hwilde | ffffffff i've never had any problems with this setup | 06:02 |
| hwilde | wtf happened | 06:02 |

| alex_mayorga | Hi, is here the right place to "talk" to someone live to confirm I'm seeing an actual bug and not file a bogus bug report? Thanks in advance | 19:49 |
| darthanubis | alex_mayorga, check launchpad, and google | 19:50 |
| alex_mayorga | darthanubis, done already, just wanted to rule out "user error" | 19:51 |
| darthanubis | well I googel to see if someone else has reported already, if not I feel free to report | 19:52 |
| alex_mayorga | not sure where to assign, the problem is that a bunch of KODAK_, KODAK__ unreadable folders under /media | 19:57 |
| alex_mayorga | are created and retained forever whenever I insert an SD card on my laptop | 19:58 |
| techno_freak | alex_mayorga, is it a SD card you use in your camera? | 19:58 |
| alex_mayorga | yes | 19:59 |
| techno_freak | alex_mayorga, the camera might be storing some of its own files in the SD card, which it might not allow you to read | 20:00 |
| techno_freak | files, folders, etc. | 20:00 |
| techno_freak | so when you mount the SD card, it's also there but not readable | 20:01 |
| alex_mayorga | one icon is created on the desktop and I can read he files from there | 20:01 |
| alex_mayorga | I was just wandering on the file system and found the bogus folders | 20:02 |
| alex_mayorga | techno_freak what component should it be the bug filed against? udev? | 20:02 |

| techno_freak | alex_mayorga, i still wonder why you call it a bug? | 20:03 |
| alex_mayorga | techno_freak, probably related to Bug #199215 | 20:04 |
