on Nov 24-27 I log in 15.10 Wily 1 T Western Digital produced the following note, which hasn't been solvable; I don't see a way to restore bug's behavior; amid this posting on 11-27th 8am cst, the flicker error pest took over; it close the monitor then w/mouse clicks, the screen achieved sanity, allowing me to post this sentence and hopefully more info below.
immediately after booting OS says: "Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes: Trying modes for CRTC 63 CRTC 63: trying mode 1440x900@60Hz with output at 1280x1024@75Hz (pass 0) CRTC 63: trying mode 1440x900@60Hz with output at 1280x1024@75Hz (pass 1) Trying modes for CRTC 64 CRTC 64: trying mode 1440x900@60Hz with output at 1280x1024@75Hz (pass 0) CRTC 64: trying mode 1440x900@60Hz with output at 1280x1024@75Hz (pass 1) Trying modes for CRTC 65 CRTC 65: trying mode 1440x900@60Hz with output at 1280x1024@75Hz (pass 0) CRTC 65: trying mode 1440x900@60Hz with output at 1280x1024@75Hz (pass 1) earlier -- on 11-25/26th the following was accumulated: 11-27th Bug #1520583 created. Flicker err bug #1520583 ? Is it anything like a Nvidia bug? My PC's screen looks like a Venetian blind being mismanaged by swift wind. On P5GC-MX, BIOS 0314, 5/27/2007 1510 Wily Ubuntu. A report I can't find says “unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000008 Am running 1510 Wily Ubuntu on My used 1 Tbit WD in Mirus PC clone runs a newly installed OS great for hours; then screen flips into a fluttering blind affect mode; and for all practical purposes, during the crash, it looks unmanageable. like it crashes amid a fluttering Venetian blind. OS can be retrieved if I'm patient but at times I must power off & login. OS did not produce a reportable error/crash description. What work around could be used to solve/smash bug #1520583? I'm baffled by bug #1520583. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1520583 Title: flicker err w/out monitor config compatible modes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1520583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
