| marjo | apw, Sarvatt: happy new year | 16:25 |
| marjo | apw, Sarvatt: please see cjwatson's comment on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/693093 | 16:26 |
| ubot4` | Launchpad bug 693093 in linux (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "[i945gme] 2.6.37-10.24: Black Screen on Boot (affects: 8) (heat: 50)" [High,Confirmed] | 16:26 |
| apw | marjo, yep so things work with old grub and not new ... what graphics h/w is this? | 16:30 |
| apw | marjo, this probabally means newer grub is leaving the display initiailised differnetly and the kernel is not coping | 16:31 |
| marjo | apw: Intel 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 16:31 |
| apw | marjo, as this is intel graphics we need to get an intel_reg_dumper output from both working and not working cases for comparison | 16:31 |
| apw | preferably at the same spot, say at gdm just after the drums, remotely logging in to get it | 16:32 |
| marjo | apw: please provide specific instructions | 16:32 |
| apw | marjo, and as we have just released a new -12 kernel i recon you should test with that | 16:34 |
| apw | as for instructions: | 16:34 |
| apw | install intel-gpu-tools | 16:35 |
| marjo | got it | 16:35 |
| apw | run sudo intel_reg_dumper on the old grub and on the new grub | 16:35 |
| apw | preferably at the same place | 16:35 |
| marjo | apw: how do i do that with the old grub when i can't even get to any ttys? | 16:36 |
| apw | marjo, i thought you could hear the drums | 16:37 |
| apw | which means the machine is up, so you can login over the network | 16:37 |
| marjo | apw: yes, so run it using ssh login, after the drum is heard, right? | 16:37 |
| marjo | apw: will do | 16:37 |
| apw | marjo, yes in both cases, working and not | 16:38 |
| marjo | apw: ack | 16:38 |
| apw | then the setup is the same in both cases, so any register differences are likely the problem | 16:39 |
| apw | marjo, but do upgrade to -12 beforehand | 16:39 |
| marjo | apw: ah yes | 16:39 |
| marjo | apw: bad news | 17:03 |
| * apw listens | 17:03 | |
| marjo | apw: with latest grub-1.99~20110104 and kernel-12, kernel-11, i don't even hear drums any more! | 17:04 |
| marjo | apw: but i have intel_reg_dumper output for old grub & kernel-12 (which works) | 17:05 |
| apw | marjo, ok so boot -11 on both | 17:06 |
| marjo | apw: will do | 17:06 |
| apw | or whatever kernel works on both | 17:07 |
| apw | boots ok on both, not with working graphics obviously | 17:07 |
| marjo | apw: ok, i've got two dump files, how do you want them? | 17:21 |
| apw | marjo, on the bug please, label them appropriatly with kernel and grub versions in both | 17:21 |
| marjo | apw: oh wait; i need to get you -11 and old grub, sorry | 17:22 |
| marjo | apw ok attached two intel_reg_dumper outputs | 17:47 |
| apw | marjo, will this machine be in dallas next week? | 17:54 |
| marjo | apw: yes, it's my "travel netbook" | 17:54 |
| apw | marjo, cool then we can look at it some more then | 18:00 |
| apw | i think we need to get an intel_reg_dumper before X starts which is somewhat complex to descrive | 18:01 |
| apw | marjo, is 1126 the first one which works going back, ie. have you tried the ones in between | 18:04 |
| marjo | apw: 1126 was suggested by Sarvatt based on his analysis of when the breakage occurred | 18:06 |
| marjo | apw, i.e. before Alpha-1 release, since I confirmed that the Alpha-1 worked, remember? | 18:07 |
| apw | maxb, be handy to confirm exactly which version triggers this, the changes between the two grubs may help us understand | 18:07 |
| * maxb *blinks*, pays attention | 18:07 | |
| apw | maxb, soz stupid xchat (or stupid apw) | 18:11 |
| apw | marjo, ^^ | 18:11 |
| maxb | Heh. I have a i945 too :-) | 18:12 |
| marjo | apw: what do you want me to look at?! | 18:12 |
| apw | marjo, never mind we'll look next week | 18:13 |
| marjo | apw: ok thx; i'll bring an extra netbook, for backup | 18:13 |
| apw | cool | 18:13 |
| qoelqast | hi | 20:48 |
| qoelqast | I got: error setting MTRR when trying to load X, there's only X installed. What does this mean/how to fix? | 20:48 |
| bryceh | qoelqast, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Glossary#What%20are%20%22MTRR%22s? | 20:50 |
| qoelqast | bryceh:I read something on gentoo wiki, but is there a way to fix that? | 20:52 |
| qoelqast | bryceh: cat /proc/mtrr gives outpu: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB),size= 128MB, count=1:write-back etc | 20:55 |
| qoelqast | Well, I guess the problem isn't X based? I'll try in default channel, thanks | 20:59 |
