Description of problem: When booting off the rawhide KDE 4 Live CD the screen goes light blue and the machine locks up. It turns light blue just after the "Starting udev" message on the console. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide-KDE4-i686-20080109.4.iso How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from the rawhide KDE4 Live CD 2. Wait for the "Starting udev [OK]" message Actual results: Screen goes light blue and the machine locks up. One time a white square about 80x80 pixels was visible in the centre of the screen. Pressing Caps Lock, etc. does not change the keyboard lights. Pressing Ctrl-F1 does not switch to a console. Expected results: The machine boots to the KDE 4 desktop. Additional info: Processor: Intel Pentium D RAM: 2Gb Video Card: Radeon X1300 Series
Does this still occur with the newer images which have been released?
What is the URL for the latest image?
I tried again today (with the original image) and you can move the white square around for about 2 seconds before it locks up so it looks like that's supposed to be the mouse cursor.
That looks more like a problem with rhgb -- could you please try in grub screen (where you select the style of booting), select the type of boot you want, then press key 'a' and in the editor remove rhgb from the kernel command line. Press ENTER. What happens?
The system boots OK until X is started then I just get a black screen.
Are you actually using the ati/radeon driver or is this with vesa? It looks like a duplicate of bug 427383 to me. Try booting with xdriver=ati or xdriver=radeon to force using the radeon driver, which only recently got experimental support for your card.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, this is LiveCD, please, try to run it in text mode (add 3 to the end of the kernel command line, available in grub after pressing a) and then try to play with starting X as startx from the runlevel 3. That way you can get all log files. Also, when running in text mode, try to add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you don't have one, there is a copy in /var/log/Xorg.0.log) Option "DRI" "off" to the "Device" section of for videocard. Does it help?
Re: adding xdriver to the kernel command line xdriver=ati + rhgb -> light blue screen - machine locked up xdriver=radeon + rhgb -> black screen - machine locked up xdriver=vesa -> light blue screen for a few seconds then black screen - machine locked up xdriver=ati + no rhgb -> black screen (after starting X) - machine locked up xdriver=radeon + no rhgb -> black screen - machine locked up xdriver=vesa + no rhgb -> black screen - refresh rate not supported by monitor - machine NOT locked up (can switch back to console) I will try to get a log file starting X with the default driver from run level 3 as suggested.
In run level 3 with no rhgb option: Running startx without doing anything else -> black screen + machine locked up (so can't get any log files) Removing xorg.conf, then running startx -> black screen + machine locked up Adding DRI=off to xorg.conf -> light blue screen with 80x80 square blue/grey mouse cursor for a few seconds then machine locked up Since the machine locks up every time I'm not sure how to get any log files. Is it possible to redirect them to, say, a USB pen drive?
I think this is enough -- sending the bug to developers, and let's see what wisdom they will be able to bring to the table.
This bug has nothing to do with KDE, it doesn't even get close to starting KDE there, removing from KDE4Live.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. 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 '9'. 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 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
