Basic graphics mode / 'nomodeset' testing request, round 2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks!

A few weeks back we asked for testing of 'basic graphics mode' /
nomodeset booting - the feedback from that was very helpful in
establishing that we had a generic issue which dated back to Fedora 29,
thanks a lot. We have now established more or less what that initial
issue is, and work is ongoing to get it fixed entirely. However, it's
already been fixed *partially*, and that revealed a subsequent bug.

The initial bug is fixed for the case of UEFI native boots (it is not
fixed for BIOS native boots yet). However, in testing, I and others
found that several UEFI test systems still do not boot successfully to
GDM, because they run into a *different* bug later:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693409

This bug can be identified by the presence of the following string in
the journal:

"(EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs        for
all framebuffer devices"

(yes, with a bunch of spaces - but just the first part of the line is
sufficient to identify the problem, I think).

It would be great if folks with UEFI-capable systems could try booting
a recent Fedora 30 Workstation live image on them, e.g. this one:

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-30-20190408.n.0/compose/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-20190408.n.0.iso

ensure you boot in UEFI mode. Please report back whether it works. If
it doesn't work, please check the logs - you should be able to log into
a console on tty3 (ctrl-alt-f3 to get there) as root with no password,
then run 'journalctl -b' to see the logs - and report if that line is
present or not. If it isn't, it'd be useful to know if some other error
message is present.

Thanks a lot, folks!
