Discussed at 2012-10-04 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-qa/2012-10-04/f18-beta-blocker-review-2.1.2012-10-04-16.00.log.txt . As this looks like a single-system X showstopper, we reject it as a blocker and accept it as NTH, by established precedent (X bugs that affect only a single system or small range of systems are not considered to be wide enough to be blockers; we don't have the development capacity to commit to fixing all such bugs). I think I am also hit by this on Beta TC2. I have an iMac12,2 (27" 2011 model). USB will not boot, all I get is a black screen. @Valery Pipin Does the black screen show up if you wait 2 to 3 minutes? Is the cursor visible? I ran into a very similar situation with my ATI FirePro V4800 during this last Radeon test day. I initially thought X would not start at all after boot (I had a black screen), but after I waited about 2 to 3 minutes, the GDM login screen appeared. See my bug report below. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861755 I waited for 10 min. Cursor is not visible. The problem, perhaps, due to hybrid graphics management in the fedora kernel. I don't know. On my laptop, I also use mageia 3 with no such issues. Similarily to fedora 18 I run the latest xorg, the latest kernel, etc [vv@redwood ~]$ more /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 30.072] X.Org X Server 1.13.0 Release Date: 2012-09-05 [ 30.072] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 30.072] Build Operating System: Linux_3.3.8-server-2.mga2 Mageia [ 30.072] Current Operating System: Linux redwood 3.6.0 #1 SMP Sun Oct 7 18:52:04 CST 2012 x86_64 [ 30.072] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=3.6.0 root=UUID=3882351a-571e-4085-9133-776efac2d5f1 splash quiet resume=UUID=38e58e8e-e72c-4e11-b081-b9b7 7c01905a vga=788 ....

If I do nomodeset on the command line in grub I come here, but not any further in the boot process.
Before this gets any more confused: 'fails to boot with a black screen' is a very general symptom and could be caused by multiple underlying bugs. Just because you also see a failure to boot with a black screen does not mean you are seeing the same bug as Valery. In general, for this kind of bug, unless you have the same hardware - at least the same or a very similar graphics adapter - or convincing evidence from logs etc that you're really seeing the *same bug* and not just the *same symptom*, please assume you're seeing a different bug and file it separately. We can always close reports that turn out to be the same bug as duplicate later. Having five different black screen bugs in one report just leads to a large amount of confusion, so please, keep this report for Valery's hardware - the HP ENVY 14 1210NR , or at least, the "ATI Technologies Inc Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series]" adapter. Neither Andreas' nor Adam's system has a graphics adapter the same as or similar to this one (the iMac12,2 has either a 6770M or a 6970M), so please, keep them separate. Thanks! OK, I added Bug 865031. Valery you confirm that this is a dual gpu laptop you have ? Also i would need a kernel log without the nomodeset option. I am guessing you have vgaswitchero issue. (In reply to comment #8) > Valery you confirm that this is a dual gpu laptop you have ? > > Also i would need a kernel log without the nomodeset option. I am guessing > you have vgaswitchero issue. That is it. I have the dual gpu laptop. Nomodeset is the only option when I was able to collect the logs. I could not open the virtual terminal when I started with the default options. If you have suggestions (except like alt f1 etc) how to get it I can try. (In reply to comment #8) > Valery you confirm that this is a dual gpu laptop you have ? > > Also i would need a kernel log without the nomodeset option. I am guessing > you have vgaswitchero issue. About vga_switcheroo. I use this option on mageia3 to switch off the ATI card. The only problem is that I always has to switch ATI card on before suspend or hibernate (otherwise the ati's fans started after resume). Another problem is that when I switch to ATI (with help the vga_switcheroo), I found that the energy consumption and temperature inrease about 1.5 factor. The tests shows no big difference for the perfomance between ATI and intel cards. The best what we can do is to correctly switch off the ATI card 865031 was fixed for me in TC8. Maybe you can check if this is fixed as well? (In reply to comment #11) > 865031 was fixed for me in TC8. Maybe you can check if this is fixed as well? Could you give me a link for the image, please. I did not see an announcement. Sorry for bothering! Created attachment 643219 [details]

I have tried https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/18-Beta-TC8/Live/x86_64/Fedora-18-Beta-TC8-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso The result is exactly the same as before, i.e., black screen and no virtual console for the default boot. For the troubleshooting mode I was able to login to virtual console (no X !)and collect some logs which are attached to the previous message. > (In reply to comment #12)

I have tried the other images too.
1)LXDE, the default boot, the screen is not black it is very dark I would say,
I could see the borders of windows, but it is on the very dark background, so I could not manage the session
2)KDE!!! It starts sometimes! I could log in, the system went to invitation login and then just login with Enter. I could use vga_swithcheroo to switch between intel and radeon. I started the installation process, but anaconda complain about partitions errors, don't know the exact reason. I have 3 linux partitions, 1 swap and 2 from win7. Suspend does not work in the live session.
Well, that look very promising! The problem is that Live session does boot from time to time, not always.
I have similar problem on dell inspiron 15rSE with core i5 (intel hd400 + radeon 7700m + fullhd display) Log attached. I fixed it removing ati drivers. Created attachment 666227 [details]
log xorg i5 (F18 beta)
Valery and JAlberto, are you able to reproduce it on latest Fedora 18 or 19? I confirm that I have it on fedora 19 beta Live KDE. The screen remains black, though the brightness varies during the run, having short maximum at the end and then drops to black. I can run in the basic graphics mode with low resolution. Perhaps, after installation in the basic graphics mode I can manage to run the system on the integrated Intel card. However I don't see any sence, because vga_sweetcheroo broke support for A+I in the new kernels starting ver 3.8, so I will not able to swithch to ATI in any case. See, e.g., https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8718 This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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. Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 617413 [details] log information, including Xorg.log, boot.log etc Description of problem: I boot to black screen with 20120924-test_days-x86_64.iso How reproducible: I have the HP ENVY 14 1210NR with intel& amd graphic cards. Normal boot gives the black screen. I could not login to VT in this kind of boot. The failsafe boot. The so called troubleshooting mode (nomodeset) also does not start X. However, in this boot I was able to use the virtual terminal and to log in the system I save some log information from var/log. It is in attachment.
