CentOS 5 Hardware :: No Graphics On Dell Optiplex 780?

Apr 2, 2010

I have a brand new OptiPlex 780 from Dell, I downloaded CentoOS x86_64 from [URL]. The installer runs the graphics mode OK, when I reboot into normal, the graphics doesn't work.

The last messages I see are:

Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
starting clock,
starting UDev

then the display goes away, the montior says "Not Support" The monitor is 1 day old and supports VGA to 1680x1050.

I try pressing "I" (and/or "i") when Red Hat first starts, but the interactive menu doesn't show.

I have two idenical machines, the other is running XP (the CentOS was also before I loaded CentOS), WinXP is allowing screen resolutions of

- 800 x 600 @ 60Hz, 72Hz, or 75Hz
- 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz, 70Hz, or 75Hz
- 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz or 75Hz
- 1680 x 1050 @ 60Hz
...all working on the same monitor.

During Bios boot, the monitor shows 600x800 @ 60Hz, during the text-only start of CentOS, it shows 720x400 70Hz. After CentOS boot shows starting udev, the montior breifly shows 720x400 70Hz, then "Not Support".

So....
Why isn't CentOS using the same graphics mode it used during installation (that worked fine)

Ubuntu :: Graphics Very Slow On Dell Optiplex GX240

Feb 21, 2011

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex GX240, it has an ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF (from lspci output) and all the graphics run very slow (I'm assuming because OpenGL and hardware acceleration are disabled). I Googled the issue and found several solutions but non of them worked. I tried installing the ATI Catalyst driver but it doesn't recognize the graphics card. I also tried to install the fglrx drivers but when I run fglrxinfo I get a segmentation fault. So the X server is running with the open source (r128) drivers and it's really slow.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Dell Optiplex 960 Screen Blanking ?

Sep 8, 2010

I've just installed 12 new Dell Optiplex 960 computers with Dell 2009W monitors. They are identical hardware and OS installs. Some of them are exhibiting a weird problem with their screens: They boot up and run just fine, but then the monitor goes black for 2 or 3 seconds, and comes back, with the small DVI icon popping up in the upper left corner to show which video connection is active. This repeats at random intervals continously; sometimes just a few seconds between, and sometimes many minutes.

The problem initially happened on just one machine so I had Dell swap the motherboard thinking it was a hardware issue. That did not fix it. Soon after that, I got reports from several users of the same problem on other of the new machines.

I've done a very basic install of CentOS 5.5, skipping all of my local configuration management stuff, and it still happens. Then I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and over the last few hours the machine has been rock solid. No video issues at all.

Here is the output of lspci:

General :: GUI Not Working After Changing Resolution In Centos 5.4 On Dell Optiplex 280 / Fix It?

Mar 2, 2010

After installing a Dell Optilex 280 desktop with Centos 5.4, I configured sendamil, squid and all the extras I needed for a proxy and email server. All was fine until I switched the machine off. I had changed the resolution before and all was working fine. Now I have lost my gui , the system starts O.K but goes blank after "starting udev". I can use webmin to administer the server from a nother desktop/laptop but the monitor is totally blank. I tried most configurations on the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file even tried to create a new one using X -configure but still nothing changed. I cant afford to reinstall because of the time it takes to update the box, our broadband connections are so expensive this end of the world (Zimbabwe) and not so efficient. I have looked at the logs and tried to google but the solutions wont work for me? I suspect there could be an issue with the intel graphics adapter?

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Dell Optiplex 320 And Kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.i686.rpm Hang

Sep 17, 2010

I have read all of the articles I could find on the problems. I am using the lilo bootloader as grub doesn't work. I have also added pci=nomsi to my lilo.conf and ran lilo -v. I can get the system to boot with kernel-2.6.18-8.el5. However I can't get the system to boot with kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.i686.rpm. When I boot with kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.i686 the system hangs after it prints bios data check successful. I tried adding suppress-boot-time-BIOS-data to my lilo.conf (I ran lilo -v after the change) and the system still hangs. The Optiplex 320 is running bios 1.1.12

Why won't newer kernels work? Is there a way to get more information to print before the hang to aid in debugging?

CentOS 5 :: Ver5 On Desktop (DEll OptiPlex), Power Cut Oops!?

Sep 10, 2011

I no expert and this was a bit of mucking around. Installed Version 5 dot something on a desktop (DELL OptiPLex) with a couple of extra HDDs, for a server to play with (samba to Windows). I used the drives as a single logical drive via LVM.

We had a power cut, now it doesn't work. In fact it's been hanging around for a couple of years and before I dump it I wonder if there is any chance of getting some of the wife's letters, pictures, etc that I promised I try and get off.

The /boot partition seems to be there and I've attached a photo of what happens at boot, and I admit....I haven't a clue what it all means. Also I did not think ahead and did not create a recovery disk. I know, I know heap damnation on me for being so reckless, but any chance I can get myself back in the wife's good books?

Red Hat :: Graphics Very Slow With CentOS 5 On Dell Laptop

Apr 28, 2010

I am using CentOS 5, I have recently installed it on my Dell LATITUDE laptop but the resolution was 800x600. I've tried to put it on 1680x1050 and it worked out well I guess but the graphics had become very slow. For example I have to wait 5 to 6 seconds to scroll from page to page in a pdf file. Minimizing a window takes also a lot of time. I have a NVIDIA card in my PC.

Fedora Installation :: Install F8 With DELL Optiplex 755?

I have a Fedora 6 in DELL Optiplex 755. When I installed Fedora 8, I got the following error message:

"An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please
save a copy of the detailed exception and file a bug report against
anaconda at http://bugzilla.redhat.com"

This error message is from action of screen: "Installation requires

chosen which is reasonable for most users. You can either choose to use
this or create your own."

I chose: "Remove Linux partitions on selected drives and create default

Then I switched to a new HHD, but I still got the same error message.

Ubuntu :: Using A Dell Optiplex 270 With A Penium 4 Processor 3 Ghz?

Nov 7, 2010

I have learned something that I wanted to share with everyone. I don't know if this has been posted before. I was using a Dell optiplex 270 with a penium 4 processor 3 ghz computer 4g RAM dual processor. I tried to put the new Ubuntu on it because everyone was raving about it. Everytime I put the 10.04 on it, it slowed down and became very sluggish. I then had to reformat it back to 9.10.

I had an extra computer here that I was not using. It was also a Dell but it was an Inspiron 530 with an Intel Celeron CPU 2 ghz and 2g RAM. Well, to my suprise, it works GREAT with Ubuntu 10.04. I have not had one issue with it since I installed the new Ubuntu. In my opinion, it is a processor issue. I don't think that Ubuntu 10.04 works with a Penium 4 processor. It does work GREAT with a Celeron CPU processor.

It has been my understanding that Ubuntu (Linux) was made and has been made for older and new computers. It does seem that the new releases have been made only for the newer computers. Has anyone ever had these types of issues or come to these types of conclusions?

Hardware :: No Sound On Dell Optiplex 980 After Update

I recently switched my computer over to Fedora 12 from Win7. When I booted off the Live CD everything worked great, but after I installed and ran a yum update, I have no sound!

Ubuntu :: Kernel ACPI Bugs With Dell Optiplex 320

Dec 21, 2010

I'm trying to get WOL (Wake On Lan -suspend and hibernate don't work either) working in Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 on the above computer for a family member but seem to not be getting anywhere! WOL is enabled correctly I verified that after shutting down in windows XP that the computer came on with WOL. I have tried the following:

Enable wol
Code:
ethtool -s eth0 wol g

The computer shuts-down but won't wake up by WOL packet. Make sure the Ethernet (MAC0) can wake up PC
Code:
echo "MAC0" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
The computer shuts-down but won't wake up by WOL packet

Kernel parameters:
Code:
acpi=off
Code:
apm=power_off acpi=off
Code:
acpi=nopci

With all of the above, the computer doesn't not power down after shut down. The power button light is still on and has to be pressed to turn it off. Here is the strange thing: WOL works after manually tuning it off! I tried inserting apm module but it is not available.

Ubuntu Installation :: No Sound In 10.4 LTS Fresh Install - Dell Optiplex 380MT

May 5, 2010

I'm a Dell Optiplex 380 MT Workstation user which have a Intel HDA Integrated sound controller. I was using Ubuntu 9.10 32 Bits Karmic, and all works fine, but, two days ago I did a fresh install to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 32 Bits Lucid. In Ubuntu 9.10 I didn't do nothing to make work all features of my workstation, but, in 10.4 LTS the sound don't work. The hardware appear in "Speaker Icon" and in the alsamixer menu, but nothing works. It's happens in the Live CD, Installation in Hard Disc, 32 Bits Version and 64 Bits version.

Here is the output of the command, in Ubuntu 9.10 & Ubuntu 10.4. The only difference that I see is the follow in lspci (bold text):
lspci
Ubuntu 9.10: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Ubuntu 10.4: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

At both version this is the which use (same output):

Ubuntu Installation :: Dell Optiplex GX270 Boots To Blank Screen

Aug 16, 2010

My next door neighbor has a dell Optiplex gx270 and wanted Ubuntu installing.
Hardware:
1gb RAM
P4 2.4
Intel 82865g Onboard Graphics.
40gb HDD

I tried the live cd and it froze on bootup, so I thought it might not be enough ram as the case sticker said 512mb ram. So I booted the minimum install cd and installed ubuntu desktop on it and then rebooted, when it boots i get grub and then screen will either do 1 of 2 things.
1. I get another flashing cursor in top left corner and then cursor stops flashing and then nothing happens at all.
2. Then screen will go black and nothing will show at all.

I have tried updating the BIOS, adding i915.modeset=0 to grub, didn't work either. Also couldn't find the xorg.conf under /etc/X11 to change driver to vesa. After several reboots atleast 30 since the check disk think showed and then it froze again. it booted correctly so I tried the latest intel driver from xorg edgers ppa. Rebooted and still the same thing happens. tried 2 different installs now and get same results. I have had to put winxp on it so he can atleast use it, but this will run out in 30 days unless he decides to buy it.

Ubuntu :: Dell Optiplex 960 With NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 - Blank Screen With No Cursor??

Oct 5, 2010

I have just bought a Dell Optiplex 960 with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450. Everything works out of the box with the 10.04.1 Live CD. It suggests to install and activate NVIDIA proprietary drivers, but you need to restart the machine afterwards.The problem is that, after that, all what you get is a blank screen, with not even a cursor.The same happens when you install Lucid: blank screen with no cursor.

Ctrl+F1 does not show anything, but Ctrl+Alt+Prnt Scrn+REISUB works and the PC is reset.In the var directory the logs show that the NVIDIA module is not loaded.

Ubuntu Servers :: Dell PowerEdge 2850 Graphics?

Jan 8, 2010

I have been trying to convert our backup web server, Dell PowerEdge 2850, from Windows 2003 to Ubuntu.The box had been hosting a couple of web sites for the past 4 years. It was light stuff, PHP/Joomla on Apache 2 and DotNetNuke on IIS. There was also Apache Tomcat on there. Recently, we also added Subversion and TeamCity for version control plus continuous integration. All of the .NET stuff has been moved over to another server that we acquired. Right now I am trying to get Sun Glassfish 3 and Alfresco WCM to run on Windows on the old server, but it is a major pain in the butt. I could use OpenSolaris, except there are a couple things that are easier in Ubuntu. The box must also be able to run FreeNX properly so that my boss, who is a GUI guy, will be able to log in to a desktop. That leaves Ubuntu, since I am somewhat familiar with it.

I was able to get FreeNX, Glassfish and Alfresco (up to a point) to run using a Turnkey Linux image. The problem is the server is proving to be difficult. I tried starting with the desktop 9.1 CD that I downloaded; however, there is massive graphics corruption on the desktop. It'll boot fine to the Gnome desktop, but the system will become really slow and the windows disappear, leaving just a border. Switching to another VT shows blurry, shaky text. I suspect there is an issue with the graphics driver, but I can't even type in any commands to find out what is going on.

I also downloaded 9.04 Server edition and it installed fine with no shaky text. How hard would it be to build on top of that for XWindows and FreeNX to work? Why is the text shaking in the first place?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Upgrading Old Dell - Best Graphics Card

Oct 25, 2010

I have an older Dell Inspiron 4550 w/ 2G memory and 38G HD. I believe I have GE440 graphics card. I am running 10.04, but the graphics are slower than I would like and when I tried to upgrade to 10.10, my card was not supported and I had to re-install 10.04.
- Can anyone recommend a good graphics card to choose for an upgrade for this machine?
- Is changing graphics cards pretty much the same as installing a memory chip, What is the best way to do the upgrade?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get Nvidia Card To Work On Dell With Integrated Graphics?

May 25, 2010

I have a PCI graphics card, Nvidia Geforce FX 5500, but can't get it to work. I have 10.04 installed on a Dell Dimension 3000, P4, 1Gb RAM, integrated graphics. I installed 10.04 without the card in the machine, then shut down and plugged the card in and booted it up again (BIOS setting is 'onboard' for integrated graphics, 8Mb; only other option is 'auto'). Checking the hardware drivers I can see the recommended Nvidia drivers (v173, not yet activated) and lspci gives me the integrated as well as the Nvidia listing:

01:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Nvidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 8286G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

So far so good, but that's where it ends. Changing the BIOS setting to 'auto' turns the screen off on reboot, both for the monitor connected to the VGA port of the Nvidia card and for the monitor connected to the VGA port of the motherboard. I have to shutdown, take the card out and set the BIOS back to 'onboard' to be able to boot again (and shutdown, plug the card back in and boot up again to get back to where I was).

Activating the recommended hardware driver and rebooting (still with BIOS set to onboard) gives a blank screen (screen is still on and there may have been a flash of the purple screen with the ubuntu logo); nothing else happens no matter how long I wait. Rebooting doesn't help, it turns off the screen; same result for booting in recovery mode. I can get to the GRUB bootloader and when I replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' I manage to boot again with the monitor connected to the VGA port of the motherboard, but am not anywhere closer to getting my monitor working on the Nvidea card.

Hardware :: Finding Dell Dimension 3000 82865G Graphics Driver?

There were two drivers available for Linux for my adapter:

the i915graphics and a intelgraphics driver. Both were tar.gz. When I try to install them, it can't for some reason. I tried "sudo sh" in terminal, I tried extracting the package and executing it...etc. Nothing works. It does give me a message in terminal though.

OpenSUSE Install :: DELL Latitude E6410 - Core I7 M620 With Integrated Intel HD Graphics - Blank Screen

Aug 19, 2010

I have been unable to get both opensuse 11.2 and 11.3 32 bit versions work properly on my DELL Latitude E6410 laptop. With both 11.2 and 11.3 KDE Live CDs I get no graphical display when I attempt to boot into the Live system. VESA mode does not help either, only text mode works. So I installed the system in text mode but during the first boot the screen went blank again.

One peculiar thing is that 11.1 installs and boots fine, what gives? Is this even supported or I shouldn't even try to bother getting this setup to work? Has anyone been able to run opensuse 11.3 on a Core i7 integrated Intel graphics system with X system working?
