*** Bug 599167 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The image displayed contains data from the VRAM that may contain residual output from previous renderings. To see this, start some program that renders to the screen (may have to be something that goes fullscreen and uses OpenGL) and reboot (hot reboot -- i.e. don't shut down the machine entirely). The severity of the bug should be elevated. xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-7.20100423git13c1043.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-7.20100423git13c1043.fc13 xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-7.20100423git13c1043.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update xorg-x11-drv-nouveau'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-7.20100423git13c1043.fc13 xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-7.20100423git13c1043.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I can confirm the problem still persist,with the following package installed (and the system is currently up to date): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86_64 1:0.0.16-7.20100423git13c1043.fc13 @updates You need xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.8.0-16 also. Installed Packages xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 1.8.0-17.fc13 @updates The problem seems a little different: I can confirm that the behaviour described here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582489#c4 - i.e. doing a "hot-rebooting" - doesn't occur anymore (no more scattered frames from the previous session). I am actually referring to normal booting (i.e. start the machine from a off state). I see again garbage passing from plymouth to gdm.For garbage I mean something as in the attached screenshot. So I am assuming this bug still persist while a different one (see comment #4) has been solved. The bug for both cold and warm booting is the same bug, so it doesn't make sense that one is fixed whilst the other isn't. The difference between the two cases is that for a cold reboot, you have whatever VRAM is filled with when the system is first powered on, for a warm reboot, the previous session is left over rather than random contents. Well, so indeed: I can confirm that for a cold boot the problem persist, with a nvidia quadro nv140m. When warm booting,I almost not see the bad "screen" because the switching is very fast. If other users report this as solved, probably the issue is related to the specific used video card. This has recurred in f14. On rebooting, for a few seconds before the gdm login screen comes up, I see a pristine copy of what was on the screen before I rebooted. Then the gdm screen is shown.... and the backlight level is set to zero. And now it's even stranger. On rebooting I get a garbage screen made up of shuffled tiles from what was on the screen before... and it *stays* there. A libnotify window just appeared, warning me of an "install problem": The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. It asks me to contact myself. And the garbage screen is still *there* behind it. After I SSH in and kill Xorg, it restarts and then I can see the login screen. It doesn't actually *work* but I suspect that's a different bug. David, can you please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above? This bug is pretty dry on the current data. Thanks in advance. This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
