| britt | hey guys | 01:14 |
|---|---|---|
| britt | I was getting a black screen at boot again today | 01:14 |
| britt | after 3 attempts booting it finally worked | 01:14 |
| britt | any ideas? | 01:14 |
| darkxst | britt, next time it fails grab the gdm logs | 03:43 |
| britt | where are the logs held? | 03:48 |
| darkxst | /var/log/gdm | 03:48 |
| britt | there are a lot of them in there? Is there any one in particular? | 03:49 |
| darkxst | actually they appear to get rotated, so if you can find the one the corresponded to the black screen | 03:49 |
| darkxst | start with :0.log.* (they are the X server logs) | 03:49 |
| darkxst | grep "(EE)" * | 03:50 |
| britt | i'm reading through them now trying to find any mention of the black screen | 03:52 |
| darkxst | well you should be looking for just "error" and/or "(EE)" | 03:53 |
| britt | I think I found the ones with the errors | 03:54 |
| britt | yeah the one I am looking in has lots of errors reported, whereas the other log files do not | 03:55 |
| darkxst | probably they will all have errors, so make sure they where from about the right time | 03:55 |
| britt | they dont have time stamps though | 03:56 |
| darkxst | the file does | 03:56 |
| britt | yeah it's the right time | 03:57 |
| darkxst | paste it | 03:57 |
| britt | the whole file? | 03:57 |
| darkxst | yeh, to pastebin or something | 03:57 |
| britt | kk just a sec | 03:57 |
| britt | http://pastebin.com/yA3e91WS | 03:59 |
| britt | it took 3 attempts for me to get my computer to boot this last time, and the current log and the 3rd log and greater do not have any noticable errors | 04:02 |
| britt | 1 and 2 are just about the same, and I believe each cooresponds to one of the failed attempts to boot, based on the time stamps | 04:02 |
| darkxst | but it looks like that error is occuring on shutdown of the server | 04:04 |
| darkxst | perhaps look in corresponding (via file timestamps) -greeter and -slave.logs | 04:04 |
| britt | http://pastebin.com/WJZZZG9W this is one of the logs for a successfull boot. Look where it talks about "Allocate new frame buffer" | 04:05 |
| britt | on the failed one it says (II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 3840x1088 stride 3840 | 04:05 |
| britt | (EE) RADEON(0): failed to set mode: Permission denied(EE) RADEON(0): failed to set mode: Permission denied(II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 1864278K | 04:05 |
| britt | the successfull one says: | 04:05 |
| britt | (II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 1920x1088 stride 1920 | 04:05 |
| britt | (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 1872054K | 04:05 |
| britt | on successfull boots it tries to allocated 1920x1088 stride 1920, on unsuccessfull it tries to allocate 3840x1088 stride 3840 | 04:07 |
| britt | wait actually nevermind they both allocate the 2840x1088, however on successfull ones it does get the permission denied error | 04:08 |
| darkxst | except this means something has told/caused the xserver to shutdown, (II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch | 04:08 |
| britt | 3840* | 04:08 |
| darkxst | X server appears to be loading fine | 04:09 |
| britt | it does. It shows the blue background for about 2 seconds. It then goes to a solid black screen about the time gdm would normally load | 04:10 |
| darkxst | any errors in the :0-greeter.log and -slave.log | 04:11 |
| britt | it looks like a lot of errors actually | 04:13 |
| britt | http://pastebin.com/55RByh6x | 04:14 |
| darkxst | that is definately an openGL issue, its trying to fallback to the old gtk2 greeter | 04:16 |
| britt | it didn't do it until I upgrade to the staging ppa though... | 04:17 |
| britt | no other files have changed | 04:17 |
| britt | This is a greeter file from a successfull boot | 04:21 |
| britt | http://pastebin.com/qSmAnYfu | 04:21 |
| darkxst | its not even trying to load gnome-shell, due to this failure (gnome-session[2287]: WARNING: Session 'gdm-shell' runnable check failed: Timed ou | 04:25 |
| britt | yeah on the successfull boots that line isn't there | 04:25 |
| britt | which would make sense lol | 04:26 |
| britt | on both boot failures it is there and on all successes it isn't | 04:26 |
| darkxst | file a bug against gnome-session | 04:30 |
| britt | what should I put in the report? | 04:30 |
| britt | damn it wont let me use apport to report it | 04:32 |
| britt | is there a manual way to file a bug via launchpad? | 04:33 |
| darkxst | yeh just go to project page | 04:33 |
| darkxst | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session | 04:33 |
| darkxst | attach that greeter log | 04:34 |
| darkxst | and include the WARNING in the report | 04:34 |
| darkxst | I have to run, will be back later | 04:34 |
| britt | ok thanks for the help | 04:35 |
| britt | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1133120 here is the bug report for when you get back | 04:41 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1133120 in gnome-session (Ubuntu) "gnome-session failing to load dude to timeout error on random boots" [Undecided,New] | 04:41 |
| britt | jbicha are you around? | 04:55 |
| darkxst | jbicha, just out of interest have you test gdm fallback mode recently? | 05:10 |
| jbicha | darkxst: no, it's harder to test now that we've enabled llvmpipe | 05:17 |
| darkxst | jbicha, I think it might be broken | 05:17 |
| jbicha | darkxst: I'm surprised they didn't remove it yet; it seems they tried to remove every bit of integration with the old fallback mode this cycle | 05:19 |
| jbicha | I don't maintain a project but it seems that deprecating and removing all in the same short cycle is moving a bit too fast but anyway... | 05:21 |
| darkxst | yeh well the fallback stuff ties into a lot of different packages | 05:23 |
| darkxst | hmm it still works when I force the session | 05:32 |
| darkxst | but is failing when britt 'fallsback' to it | 05:32 |
| jbicha | does lightdm work in those cases? | 05:33 |
| darkxst | jbicha, in my case it did, but I had a mesa bug that only affected clutter | 05:34 |
| darkxst | don't know if it works for britt | 05:34 |
| jbicha | because if it lightdm fails too, I blame his drivers | 05:35 |
| darkxst | well it could be many things, but X is starting up fine according to the logs | 05:37 |
| britt | ricotz: hey can I ask you a question about fglrx drivers in raring? | 07:54 |
| ricotz | britt, #ubuntu-x is a better place to ask that ;) | 07:55 |
| britt | hah yeah, but I specifically wanted to ask you a question ;-) | 07:55 |
| britt | and I know you hang out around here | 07:55 |
| britt | (and me too lol) | 07:55 |
| britt | I can switch over though if that is better | 07:55 |
| ricotz | britt, if you are asking about the xedgers packages, i am not using fglrx i am just updating those to give people a "safe" way to test/use them | 07:56 |
| jbicha | darkxst: ok, I uploaded the gnome-shell/mutter sru, when you get a chance could you add the extra SRU description to bug 1067265 and bug 1132308 | 17:23 |
| ubot5 | bug 1067265 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu Quantal) "gnome-shell (3.6) notification bar disappears" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1067265 | 17:23 |

| darkxst | jbicha, thanks, updated those 2 | 20:15 |
| jbicha | darkxst: thanks, also for SRUs they want the version number to use a decimal point so that it doesn't conflict with versions in the development release, i.e. 3.6.3-0ubuntu0.1 | 20:16 |
| darkxst | ah right, I should have realised that! | 20:19 |
| SpaceA | anyone around? | 20:26 |
| darkxst | yeh | 20:31 |
| jbicha | darkxst: and I copied bits from the NEWS file since some people pick & choose stable updates based on the debian changelog | 20:42 |
| spacea | darkxst: sorry - what was the last message you got from me? | 20:43 |
| darkxst | spacea, "<SpaceA> anyone around?" | 20:44 |
| spacea | darkxst: i was about to intall gnome remix on my new PC. Is the development still going on? | 20:45 |
| darkxst | spacea, yes, however no ISO's for raring version just yet | 20:46 |
| spacea | darkxst: would you have any idea what size of updates I am looking for a fresh install of gnome remix 12.10? | 20:46 |
| darkxst | spacea, nope | 20:47 |
| spacea | darkxst: this might be a very stupid request but could you check via a VM if you have a fast connection? My connection takes 9-12 hours to download the iso | 20:48 |
| spacea | yay third world country internet | 20:48 |
| darkxst | I have very fast internet, not sure how that will help you? | 20:49 |
| spacea | If its too big then I will have to go with something else unfortunately :( | 20:49 |
| spacea | I just need to know the update size after install | 20:49 |
| spacea | darkxst: Your help would be really appreciated | 20:51 |
| spacea | darkxst: should I wait around or is that too much to ask? :/ | 20:57 |
| darkxst | spacea, can't check right now | 21:05 |
| spacea | all right sir | 21:05 |
| robert_ancell | jbicha, nice work on the tech board email btw | 21:10 |
| gonyere | jbicha: any idea when iso's for 13.04 will be out? | 21:19 |
| gonyere | also I'm super happy to see that 13.04 will have libre office & firefox by default xD thank you!! :) | 21:20 |
| jbicha | gonyere: if we're lucky we'll be official and we can get daily builds without too much work | 22:53 |
| jbicha | otherwise, whenever someone gets around to building the 2 images and checking that they work and then we'll call it an alpha | 22:53 |
| jbicha | robert_ancell: thanks, not much response yet, I'm guessing they'll have questions at Monday's tech board meeting though | 22:54 |
