| 02:59.10 | RichardBronosky | I did an update-rc.d -f gdm remove trying to stop it from booting up into a GUI |
| 02:59.48 | RichardBronosky | but now it boots into a non-terminal |
| 02:59.55 | RichardBronosky | just a black screen |
| 03:01.31 | RichardBronosky | I can ssh in from a remote machine, but I really need to boot into a terminal only environment so I can test some frame buffer code I've wrote. |
| 03:25.27 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: After booting X11 server is not started but other virtual terminals are not visible either? |
| 03:25.48 | RichardBronosky | correct |
| 03:26.10 | RichardBronosky | I was able to blindly log in and touch a file |
| 03:26.19 | RichardBronosky | then verify via ssh. |
| 03:26.28 | RichardBronosky | but I just don't see anything. |
| 03:31.42 | RichardBronosky | are there any known difficulties like this on PPC? |
| 03:41.26 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Are you sure that it is not just background light of internal display being turned off? |
| 03:41.48 | RichardBronosky | yes |
| 03:42.12 | RichardBronosky | in the top left corner there is acually a cursor-looking underbar |
| 03:43.08 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Have you checked out external display? |
| 03:43.23 | RichardBronosky | looks to be 2 pixels tall 8 wide. |
| 03:43.25 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Maybe console accidentally ended up in there |
| 03:43.38 | RichardBronosky | I don't have an external display to use. |
| 03:44.00 | RichardBronosky | any idea of how to configure that? |
| 03:44.40 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Which Linux kernel version? |
| 03:45.41 | RichardBronosky | Linux imac 2.6.25-2-powerpc #1 Tue Sep 30 14:49:00 UTC 2008 ppc GNU/Linux |
| 03:46.35 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: I think I might have had similar problem with some Linux kernel 2.6 version on some PowerPC host |
| 03:47.36 | RichardBronosky | well, my ultimate goal is to test some SDL framebuffer code I wrote... |
| 03:47.50 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Does your kernel show boot-up messages at all? |
| 03:48.00 | RichardBronosky | is there another way to get access to the framebuffer that you know of? |
| 03:48.11 | RichardBronosky | well, I get the boot prompt... |
| 03:48.30 | RichardBronosky | and I could list boot images... |
| 03:49.14 | RichardBronosky | but after I chose Linux, it went to the black on grey screen, and think there was some info... |
| 03:49.17 | RichardBronosky | then to this. |
| 03:51.02 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: I assume that you see OpenFirmware console boot messages, but after Linux kernel initializes framebuffer, it fails |
| 03:52.18 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Build another kernel version until you find one that your hardware accepts? |
| 03:53.27 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: That is simple and easy solution |
| 03:56.09 | RichardBronosky | now, was I clear in communicating that I had a full working xorg and gnome? |
| 03:56.44 | RichardBronosky | until I took gdm out of the rcN.d it was working correct. |
| 04:01.02 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Are you able to see virtual terminals after X11 server has been started or is running? |
| 04:01.02 | RichardBronosky | I was. |
| 04:02.49 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: Framebuffer driver on Linux kernel failed to complete initialization but X11 server succeeded doing it, after which other framebuffers are also visible... Just my guess |
| 04:02.58 | RichardBronosky | http://dpaste.com/117683/ |
| 04:03.03 | RichardBronosky | that's my dmesg |
| 04:06.02 | RichardBronosky | I see nothing mounted |
| 04:06.10 | pahartik | RichardBronosky: That looks acceptable |
| 04:06.15 | RichardBronosky | I'm running fsck |

| 04:18.11 | RichardBronosky | after a reboot, everything is mounted |
| 04:18.57 | RichardBronosky | still no display, but mounted is good. |
