nvidia 6150 display failure

[Glen Ditchfield]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Mythbuntu, Maverick Live CD 20100928.

I booted from the live CD. The purple "Mythbuntu" screen showed itself properly for a few seconds. Then the (plymouth?) Mythbuntu-with-dots loading screen appeared, but it was rolling vertically. When that finished, the "choose your language" screen appeared, also rolling. I switched to a console via ctrl-alt-f1, and it also rolled.

The computer has an nVidia 6150 integrated video chip. Normally it runs Kubuntu Hardy Heron using the proprietary nVidia drivers.

Hey Glen,

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at.

I tested the computer with a Natty Narwhal image http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20110202/natty-desktop-i386.iso during an alpha release's QA testing, and found that the video output still rolls. I reported it as separate bug 712280 for QA purposes.

I hope to run apport-collect against the next Natty. I don't suppose there's much point trying the Maverick release, given Natty's problem.

I have added apport-collect information from a live session using http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20110302/natty-desktop-i386.iso to bug 712280.
