Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
On my favourite (and only) little computer, a Dell Latitude C400, at boot up the Ubuntu splash screen flashes then ends with an unresponsive blank screen, the CPU heats up and the fan starts racing. This started after an upgrade from Lubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and continued after a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. Out of frustration, I attempted the following fix that I was using in 10.04 for a similar problem with the computer locking up and getting hot, but only when the lid was closed. With the xorg file edit, the splash screen flashes a bit, but settles down to a fully functioning system. I haven't tested closing the lid yet. Maybe after this bug report. # /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Fix found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/138256/comments/79 Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true" EndSection ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: xorg 1:7.5+6ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.35-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic i686 Architecture: i386 DRM.card0.LVDS.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1024x768 edid-base64: DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: Date: Mon Nov 1 19:46:54 2010 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub MachineType: Dell Computer Corporation Latitude C400 PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=61bef5cb-7f3b-4b99-8477-13a9d5d47950 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xorg XorgConf: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true" EndSection dmi.bios.date: 03/01/2004 dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation dmi.bios.version: A12 dmi.board.name: Latitude C400 dmi.board.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation dmi.chassis.type: 8 dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellComputerCorporation:bvrA12:bd03/01/2004:svnDellComputerCorporation:pnLatitudeC400:pvr:rvnDellComputerCorporation:rnLatitudeC400:rvr:cvnDellComputerCorporation:ct8:cvr: dmi.product.name: Latitude C400 dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation glxinfo: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory system: distro: Ubuntu codename: maverick architecture: i686 kernel: 2.6.35-22-generic ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick -- During boot Ubuntu splash screen flashes ending with a blank screen, the CPU heating up and the fan racing; on a Dell Latitude C400. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
