New ISO's up: ftp://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/pub/vectorlinux/Uelsk8s/test/VL6.0-SOHO-A1.15.iso ftp://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/pub/vectorlinux/Uelsk8s/test/VL6.0-SOHO-A1.15-CD2.iso CD2 is an exact copy of VL6.0-SOHO-A1.14-CD2.iso so if you have that iso still you can save the bandwidth and rename it. we have a new installer in this with a few more bugfixes, and new grub and os-prober packages. let us know how it works for you. when reporting bugs please give as much info about the hardware and install type(from cdrom or ISO) as possible. Thanks, Uel |

Hello, Testing 1.15 on home built system: AMD Athlon 1800+, Abit Siluro FX5200 Nvidia 128mb agp, 2gb ram, msi mb w/ nvidia chipset Hit enter, go through bootsplash, config monitor resolution, 'testing X... hold tight' goes by, ~9 lines of text with the last being 'logging into root' - at this point my monitor goes out (no signal; as if the computer shut off) but the computer is still running. I can switch between TTYs and regain monitor but going back to TTY2 (jwm/gui) monitor goes blank/no_signal. In case it matters: This system is connected via kvm, however the system runs VL6StdGold via kvm with no problems. And I test another system (p3/256mbram) same way - works fine. Is it possible to dictate which video driver to use at some point during the booting/initialization process? For instance, to pass 'nv' as the video driver to use when starting X.

It is not possible to specify video drivers Can you try booting that box with "gui vga=normal" On Aug 22, 2009, at 1:54 PM, Newt <gen...@gm...> wrote: > Hello, > > Testing 1.15 on home built system: AMD Athlon 1800+, Abit Siluro > FX5200 Nvidia > 128mb agp, 2gb ram, msi mb w/ nvidia chipset > > Hit enter, go through bootsplash, config monitor resolution, > 'testing X... hold > tight' goes by, ~9 lines of text with the last being 'logging into > root' - at this > point my monitor goes out (no signal; as if the computer shut off) > but the > computer is still running.

Hello, Thanks Uel. I did not think it would be possible but thought I'd ask. I have tried 'gui vga=normal' and have the same problem at the same place - just after 'logging in as root' when X should start. I think I still have 6StdGold installed on that system so I'll try updating xorg to use 'vesa' and see if the same issues occur. I'm sure that when I installed StdGold it was via the ncurses installer so I probably never ran across this problem back than. I'll let you know how it goes.

Xorg.0.log

Hello, Attached is a /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the problematic system below using the VESA driver on 6 Standard Gold. It also has the same problem of 'no signal' when using vesa. This log is from trying to start X on 6 Standard Gold using vesa driver. Hopefully something can be found out from this log. Fbdev, on the other hand, seems to work fine as well as the proprietary and open source nvidia drivers.

Hello, Quote-Newt> "Overall a very good install with new problems. Hope this is useful." You must all think I'm a real as*. That is not what I meant to write. That sentence should have read: "Overall a very good install with _few_ problems. Hope this is useful." Damn, one mistyped letter changes the entire feel of the sentence. Sorry about that. Cheers, newt |

Hello, I meant to add that there's a quick flash of black-and-white grub and a line that says something like - 'illegal command: terminal' - just before grub switches to the framebuffered mode. It does not affect any of the bootable choices though. Cheers, newt |
