This bug was also in Dapper 6.06LTS
It seems not much has been done about this problem.
This was a CLEAN install.
Firstly. I just selected the default install option.
Got the bootsplash (though it looked like the wrong colour mode was selected).
I got the bouncing status bar, then it started loading till it was 1 segment from the end.
Then it just stopped there...eventually I heard the CDRom spin down.
I couldn't switch VT's, it was just stuck on the bootsplash, but i did notice a green line accross the center of the screen that seemed to change when i hit alt-f7 or alt-78.
I tried rebooting, this time with safe graphics mode.
Same problem again!
I reboot again, this time selecting vgamode 1280x1024 32bit.
Ok, bootsplash looks right.
I get to the last segement, then my VT draws correctly, but I got the X blue screen "X failed to start".
At least I could see this now.
I also tried the safe graphics mode using the vgamode option but got the same results.
This seems to me to be a show stopper! Its very bad for ATI users.
I feel a bit left out in the cold.
Attached are a bunch of logs I grabbed on my USB memory stick.
PLEASE SOMEONE ATTEND TO THIS!
IT LOOKS REALLY UNPROFESSIONAL! |

It doesn't just work. It's a very frustrating for ATI users.

I really applaud the work everyone has done in Ubuntu...it has really come a long way.
Just the odd issue here and there though.

Thanks for that reply. I'm quite sure your problem is not related to #22985, However, your system seems to be affected by https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/59618 , that's why "safe graphics mode won't work, either".
Ubuntu CDs/DVDs come in different flavours:
1. Desktop CD: ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
This contains a LiveCD environment with a graphical installer run from X/Gnome
2. Alternate CD: ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso
This contains the old-fashioned text-based installer that runs from console and not from X.
3. ubuntu-6.10-server-i386.iso
Similar to 2, but won't install a desktop enviroment nor X. It's designed to install server systems that don't need X.
4. ubuntu-6.10-dvd-i386.iso
DVD iso, basically a combination of the three above. The boot menu lets you choose what to do with it.
Which version did you use to install? I guess you ran the Desktop CD and used the graphical installer, right? Are the logfiles you attached the ones created by the livecd environment? Just want to be sure before I go on with bug triage.
I'd appreciate if you could have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TriagingXBugs
and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXAutoconfiguration
and try some of the workarounds mentioned on these two webpages.

I think this is problem is not related to #28925, changing xorg.conf to use the "radeon" driver instead of "ati" would not have helped otherwise. This seems to be related to not properly detecting the gfx chipset in the first place. The Xorg.0.log suggests that something goes wrong when detecting the gfx chipset. It might be useful to checkout bugs.freedesktop.org in order to find out whether upstream knows about this or not. |
