[Bug 734996] Re: [STAGING]Cannot access the text console.

 

PKduck, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Description changed:

  During a booting process, there should a "kubuntu" logo with 5 blinking dots since I am using Kubuntu. But it shows a black screen instead after loading the kernel and before Xorg started. Disabling modeset can get back the boot splash but lost accelerated 3D.
- After Xorg loaded, it shows a normal composited desktop with full hardware acceleration. But pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 will hide the mouse cursor and cause the screen to freeze. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+7 can switch back to Xorg.
- It is also true for live DVD or a fully updated(as of today) system.

- My hardware:
- Dell Vostro 3400
- Intel Core i3
- Hybird graphics Core i3 GPU + nvidia GeForce 310M
- 2GB RAM
+ WORKAROUND: I get back the text console by doing the following:
+ 1) Blacklist nouveau
+ 2) Rename "/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko" to something else.
+ 3) sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
+ 4) sudo update-grub2
+ 5) Reboot.
