Title:
GTK mini-iso can't start X
Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When I boot the GTK version of mini-iso
(http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/20101020ubuntu111/images/netboot/gtk/mini.iso),
X server keeps crashing/restarting.
The same problem emerges when I build debian-installer package
manually.
The X.log.0 errors with:
(EE) Failed to load module "Intel" (on real hardware)
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (on a VirtualBox VM)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
The driver related messages are expected to be there - the mini-iso
does not contain all the Xorg drivers, but is expected to start with
FBDEV. However, it seems that either FBDEV has some issues, or there
is something else that crashes the X server.
The problem is not hardware related, as I managed to run the X server
on a fully-installed system with the fbdev driver. Also, the Debian
squeeze/wheezy GTK mini-isos work flawlessly (aside from the fact you
can't install Ubuntu with that).
So, I believe that the debian-installer package or some of the udebs
it pulls has a bug that causes this behaviour. I can try some more
digging, but I would need to know where to dig.
