| [03:14] <hwilde> I would like to report a bug with the last xserver update | |
| [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 | |
| [04:28] <crimsun> dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core|awk '/^ii/ {print $3}' | |
| [04:29] <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? | |
| [04:30] <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. | |
| [04:31] <hwilde> how can I revert? | |
| [04:31] <crimsun> first we need to find which packages need to be reverted. | |
| [04:32] <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 | |
| [04:33] <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. | |
| [04:36] <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 | |
| [04:37] <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 | |
| [04:38] <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 | |
| [04:39] <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 | |
| [04:40] <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. | |
| [04:44] <hwilde> http://pastebin.com/f9ddf71a | |
| [04:45] <crimsun> sec | |
| [04:46] <hwilde> (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GTS | |
| [04:46] <hwilde> that is the correct video card line 163 | |
| [04:47] <crimsun> right, but you're using the vesa driver. | |
| [04:48] <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 | |
| [04:49] <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. | |
| [04:50] <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 | |
| [04:51] <crimsun> please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | |
| [04:52] <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 | |
| [04:53] <hwilde> /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f3735bc5b | |
| [04:54] <crimsun> right, so you've been bitten by that bug | |
| [04:55] <hwilde> but I didn't upgrade from edgy to feisty, or nvidia anything... | |
| [04:56] <hwilde> lspci output: http://pastebin.com/f46b73c6c | |
| [04:57] <hwilde> also, I have the hsync and vsync specified in the xorg.conf | |
| [05:00] <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 | |
| [05:01] <hwilde> i've done the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg too | |
| [05:07] <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? | |
| [05:08] <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 | |
| [05:09] <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. | |
| [05:10] <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 | |
| [05:11] <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 | |
| [05:13] <crimsun> if you're really, really hard-pressed, you could even chattr +i the affected files | |
| [05:14] <hwilde> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-06-15 00:21 xorg.conf.failsafe -> xorg.conf.20080613223821 | |
| [05:21] <hwilde> crimsun, /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/f67e3168a | |
| [05:22] <crimsun> ok, so it keeps regenerating failsafe? | |
| [05:22] <hwilde> yeah it took over | |
| [05:23] <hwilde> xorg.conf.failsafe http://pastebin.com/f1816c340 | |
| [05:24] <crimsun> forcibly copy the correct one as failsafe, then chattr +i | |
| [05:25] <crimsun> that's definitely a bug somewhere, but I haven't experienced it | |
| [05:26] <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 | |
| [05:27] <crimsun> ok, this may sound silly, but I presume you do have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic installed? | |
| [05:28] <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 ;) | |
| [05:29] <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 | |
| [05:30] <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 | |
| [05:31] <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 | |
| [05:32] <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 | |
| [05:33] <hwilde> I might as well go to intrepid | |
| [05:34] <hwilde> if the updates are going to break everything atleast then I could be contributing to the beta test | |
| [05:35] <crimsun> well, at least we managed to rule out the xorg-server security update as the culprit. | |
| [05:36] <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 | |
| [05:37] <hwilde> 15m til I get a livecd and reinstall. | |
| [05:41] <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 | |
| [05:42] <crimsun> did you undo the chattr and symlinking? | |
| [05:42] <hwilde> no | |
| [05:43] <hwilde> 487 cp xorg.conf.20080613223821 xorg.conf.failsafe | |

| [05:45] <hwilde> nvidia-settings works now | |
| [05:46] <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?? | |
| [05:47] <hwilde> it is popping up the onscreen menu begging for 1680x1050 | |
| [05:48] <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? | |
| [05:49] <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 | |
| [05:50] <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. | |
| [05:51] <hwilde> I wish I had another video card that could output 1680x1050 to verify this monitor isn't fried | |
| [05:52] <crimsun> no, it doesn't appear to be hardcoded as in http://pastebin.com/f3735bc5b | |
| [05:53] <hwilde> where did yo uget that from | |
| [05:53] <hwilde> well I should be able to nvidia-xconfig now | |
| [05:53] <crimsun> 23:51 crimsun > please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | |

| [05:53] <hwilde> hmm | |
| [05:57] <hwilde> ok I hardcoded it /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f51db186d | |
| [06:00] <hwilde> no difference | |
| [06:00] <hwilde> boots to terminal, /etc/init.d/gdm start, gdm is low res, x is low res | |

| [06:02] <crimsun> It has been years since I configured Nvidia settings, so I'm probably useless beyond this point. | |
| [06:02] <hwilde> ffffffff i've never had any problems with this setup | |
| [06:02] <hwilde> wtf happened | |

| [06:04] <crimsun> you don't appear to be using the correct newly defined mode | |

| [07:37] <hwilde> crimsun, switch dvi cables between monitors, resolutions follow | |
| [07:37] <hwilde> so both monitors can display 1680x1050... | |
| [07:37] <hwilde> I wonder if half of my video card is fried now | |
| [08:02] <hwilde> ok I would like to file a bug about using nvidia with two separate xscreens | |
| [08:02] <hwilde> the main screen goes to lowres 640x480 | |

| [08:03] <hwilde> everything is defined correctly in the xorg.conf | |
| [08:03] <hwilde> both video card dvi outputs have been made to output 1680x1050 and both monitors accept | |
| [08:03] <hwilde> also switched the dvi cables just for fun | |
| [08:04] <hwilde> it's either nvidia or xorg | |

| [19:58] <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? | |
| [19:59] <alex_mayorga> yes | |
| [20:00] <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. | |
| [20:01] <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 | |
| [20:02] <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] <askan1> Hi, how is bug 219684 fixed? Can I help? | |
