apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected natty ubuntu
** Description changed: This problem was fixed in 10.10 with an update. While not using nomodeset, sometime incorrect commands would be sent to the display causing errors such as entering low-power mode, flickering or simply going blank. In particular, my Samsung television enters a standby mode that is otherwise inaccessible by the consumer. It turns on and off repeatedly as a result of a command being sent by the display driver. Honestly, I didn't know it was possible, but you may want to look at the fix for 10.10 as the solution for 11.04 and maybe exploit this error to gain a little more functionality of HDMI televisions. I consider this bug a security vulnerability because it causes otherwise inaccessible functions of the display hardware to become accessible at the hardware level. + --- + Architecture: amd64 + DistUpgraded: Fresh install + DistroCodename: natty + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 + DistroVariant: ubuntu + LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) + Package: xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 + PackageArchitecture: amd64 + ProcEnviron: + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 + Tags: natty ubuntu + Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: + + version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2 + version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A + version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu6 + version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 + version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A + version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 + version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 + version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 + version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7 + version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110107+b795ca6e-0ubuntu7 ** Attachment added: "Dependencies.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754284/+attachment/2098657/+files/Dependencies.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754284 Title: Modeset code fixed with update in 10.10 regressed in 11.04 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
