dmesg with the latest Xorg packages and with systemd
Hi All,
Xorg 1.17 doesn't start on PowerPC computers (Power Macs, NG Amigas
etc). I figured out that I have a lot of signal 11 error messages with
systemd. With Upstart I have only 4 signal 11 errors:
[ 9.371697] lightdm-gtk-gre[2731]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 6f4e61c4 lr 6f4e619c code 30001

[ 20.591891] lightdm-gtk-gre[3219]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 6f4e61c4 lr 6f4e619c code 30001
[ 26.831432] lightdm-gtk-gre[3533]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 6f4e61c4 lr 6f4e619c code 30001.
With systemd, X11 starts again and again with a white screen. With
Upstart I have a black screen with a blink cursor.
The temporary solution is to downgrade Xorg:
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.16.0-1ubuntu1.3_powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
I created a package with all debs and Mesa libs for the downgrade three
weeks ago.

There's no sign of a crash in the attached Xorg.0.log files. Are you
sure it's Xorg that's crashing, not e.g. lightdm?

Actually, it says right here that the crashing process is lightdm-gtk-
gre, not Xorg. Please file a bug against lightdm.

Quote Adam Smith (ubuntu MATE google+)
Since downgrading the xorg fixes it, then surely that makes it an xorg
issue? Since a lot of applications are giving the same unhandled signal
error then it has to be a common library or something else in common so
again that points to the xorg.

I installed the display manager "slim". It started and I could login.
But I have the same errors with the MATE desktop like on QEMU. Some
colors are wrong on the ubuntu MATE desktop. I can't use the mate-panel.
If I click on the panel (menu, icons etc) then nothing happens. The mate
panel and the mate taskbar starts again and again. And there is a blank
error message in the middle of the desktop. I installed lightdm again
and I downgraded the Xorg packages again. Everything works without any
problems again.

Same for me on PowerBook6,5 after upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 as well as on live 15.04-beta2 boot.
Error messagebox appers after Mate start and then X restarting in a cycle.

Bug description:
Hi All,
We updated ubuntu MATE 15.04 and Lubuntu 15.04 on our PowerPC
computers (Power Mac G5 Quad and AMIGA one X1000) last week. Synaptic
told us that it want to remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-
xorg-video-ati. But there are new versions available (xserver-xorg-
video-radeon 1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2 and xserver-xorg-video-ati
1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2). Synaptic removed both old packages and Xorg didn't
work after that. I selected both new packages and updated them
manually. After a restart I had a black screen with a blink cursor.
There aren't any error messages in the log file '/var/log/Xorg.0.log'
but I found some error messages in the log file '/var/log/syslog':
. Exiting.

I installed Upstart again but unfortunately it didn't solve the
problem with the black screen and the blink cursor.
The temporary solution is to downgrade Xorg:
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.16.0-1ubuntu1.3_powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb

I created a package with all debs and Mesa libs for the downgrade last
