Bug Description

The daily build of Lubuntu "20150316" failed to boot into the live session, and fails to install. During the boot session, the Lubuntu splash screen appears indicating that Lubuntu was loading. What follows next was a blank screen.

Unfortunately, I cannot sumit the exact version of syslinux since the daily build could not boot into an interactive session.

So I also tried the Ubuntu images and the screen displays different text but still refuses to boot to the live DE or install on that specific hardware. I did try using both the acpi=off and i915 modeset=0 boot parameters to no avail.

Is your hardware similar?

Not sure if this was the problem or a complete x stack overhual. Right now the 64bit spin works.

It seems the issue is with Xorg version 1:7.7. This is the version that the 64bit spin of 20150317 is using. Could not get the version from the 32bit system. During boot, and after pressing ctrl+esc, the boot procedure stopped at "acounts-dameon.services and the screen started blinking. I pressed ctrl+alt+f4 to get to the shell. After logging in, typed "startx" and the system tried to load the Xserver. It only displayed an "internal error message" and notification of available wi-fi networks, nothing else. Moving this bug to confirmed.

Not only this problem, but I also crashed a third L15.04 installation (i386) after update. This update causes the system not being able to restart or shut off, not even in terminal mode with commands halt, shutdown or poweroff. After a hardware shutdown the system no longer boots upon selection in grub.

I've spent some more time in tracking this down.

If you have a video adapter that is 3D capable and supports KMS, such as the aforementioned AMD E350 APU, you shouldn't have any issues. IF you're running some... older hardware, then this might bite you.

Here's the change that made this occur:
http://files.sllabs.com/files/long-term/screenshots/kamikazi/vmware-broken-for-lubuntu-and-this-is-the-culprit-commit.jpg

On march 16th, xserver-xorg-video-all was moved from Depends to Recommends in the xserver-xorg package.

This bug happens to us for two reasons:
One: lubuntu's seed specifies no-follow-recommends.
Two: We do not have an explicit dependency on xserver-xorg-video-all.

I propose that an explicit dependency is added in either lubuntu's seed, or in one of the metapackages, to follow suit with the rest of the crowd. They all have the packages installed, one way or another, and we are the odd-man-out.

ubuntu-mate seems to have added their explicit dependency in the vivid cycle.
edubuntu had the explicit dependency in utopic, so they never noticed.
Xubuntu does not have no-follow-recommends, so they never noticed.

The others (ubuntu+Unity, kubuntu, etc) are all primarily based on GL compositors these days, and simply barf on the simple 2D cards that most of these remaining packages support.

Specifically:
xserver-xorg-video-vmware
xserver-xorg-video-vesa
xserver-xorg-video-mga
xserver-xorg-video-cirrus
xserver-xorg-video-mach64
xserver-xorg-video-trident

MGA is required to support the Matrox G200e-compatible VGA adapter found in Nuvoton and ASPEED baseboard management controllers on various supermicro X8 and X9 series motherboards.
Mach64 is required to support some older supermicro X7-series on-motherboard VGA adapter.
cirrus and trident are required for some emulation environments like qemu.

Most of the pieces of actual hardware that these drivers were built for are no longer used; but they are old enough to be "the popular virtual devices to emulate".

I am not sure if these drivers will ever be updated to support DRM or KMS, or even if it is worth it for them to be changed, with the progress on wayland+pixman.

This comment is found in several of the seeds, and no longer seems to apply as of the march 16th commit to xserver-xorg.
# this includes xserver-xorg->xserver-xorg-{input|video}-* (no need to add specific drivers manually)

Here is my factual corroboration of the above set of opinions.

[code]
ubuntu@kamikazi-builder:~/seedfinder/seeds$ grep -r "xserver-xorg" | grep -v "xserver-xorg-input" | grep -v "dbg" | grep -v "geode"

Your milage may very, do not rely on this ISO for production purposes, ONLY TESTING!
IF you're gonna install, use the official alternate ISOs instead and add the "xserver-xorg-video-all" package (and it's dependencies!) before rebooting.

If it breaks, you are advised to keep both pieces.

Thanks a lot Kamilion,

for this promising contribution to squash a nasty bug. I'll try in my

'Kamikaze-15-04' works also in a desktop computer with AMD Athlon processor and on-board (old) nvidia graphics - Lubuntu used to work in the following computer, where the current Vivid i386 desktop iso does not work,

It needs SysRq REISUO to shut down both computers.

I should check if the "xserver-xorg-video-all" package helps in the i386 version (I should be able to test that myself).

I installed a system into a USB 3 pendrive from the current Lubuntu Vivid i386 desktop iso in the Toshiba. It works there but not in the desktop computer with the ASUS mobo. Then I installed the "xserver-xorg-video-all" package.

The kernel is kernel 3.19.0-13-generic #13-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 23 ... i686 in this case and I updated/upgraded it to the bleeding edge. This installed system reboots nicely in the Toshiba. And now, tadaaaaaa, it boots nicely and works with the ASUS mobo too.

@ Kamilion,

You found the solution :-)

@ gilir,

I hope you can squeeze this new package into the desktop iso without making it oversized for CD. There should be some package with lower priority.

What a happy feeling that this works again in typical target computers for Lubuntu 32-bit systems :-)

I got one single core machine with a 1 GB Geforce GT 210 (nvidia) and one dual core machine also with a 1GB Geforce GT 210. These are cards of only a few months old. Both fail to load Lubuntu vivid beta i386 20150413.

Now Lubuntu Vivid i386 desktop iso works in my old Dell with P4 and nvidia Riva too,

The installed system with this extra video package boots and runs well.

Confirmed this is a bug in the seed. Julien is on it and it should be resolved in time for release. This doesn't affect X but I can't remove that it seems. Alberto? I'm going to dupe this against the other bug and change the description a bit.

no longer affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
Changed in lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu):

Thanks for the checksums. I tried your iso file before getting the checksums, and it seems the download was successful, as was also the application of the iso file.

Congratulations to a good job finding this bug :-)
