As the subject states i have a desktop with a radeon 9200 card, when i install the firmware-linux-nonfree the system hangs when x starts(sometimes you can see the login manager, sometimes not, but you cant login at all) and i cant access any of the terminals ctrl+alt+f(1-6), after removing the firmware-linux-nonfree package the system boots, but the graphics are under software render...

I have an older computer and I did a fresh install of Jessie
Procesor AMD, Graphic card ATI Radeon 9200 PRO / RV280
After instalation my computer boot into black screen. I have no problems with wheezy.
I installed manually firmware-linux-nonfree (in case) module R200_cp is loading correctly.
When I configure Xorg, my log file says something like that:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x0
Fatal server error:
(EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a Radeon graphics chip and upgrade to Jessie, install firmware-linux-nonfree, before rebooting.
My dist-upgrade to Jessie seemed flawless until I rebooted and couldn't get into X.
Seems Jessie boots into Gnome by default, but Gnome now requires 3-D acceleration. For my Radeon graphics chip (ATI Radeon 3100), this requires firmware-linux-nonfree, which I didn't need before and was not installed as part of the upgrade.
A boot message alerted me to this need.
I was able to get X going with xinit. I used FVWM; for XFCE I believe the command is:
xinit /usr/bin/xfce4-session -- :1
and from there I installed the package firmware-linux-nonfree.
I changed my graphics card from Nvidia GeForce 2 MX200 (drivers I used were nouveau) to ATI Radeon 9200SE (now drivers should be radeon). Unfortunately I couldn't get X to start. It leaves me to black screen with white cursor blinking. Both cards are AGP on old Slot 1 motherboard. Reason for change was that GeForce didn't support interlacing on VGA. There are no updates installed to Debian (Squeeze), because there is no internet connection on this computer currently. I tried few things but they didn't work:
* I tried to reconfigure xserver-xorg, didn't help
* I tried to make xorg.conf with X -configure and then moved it to correct place, didn't help
* I tried radeon.modeset=0 option, but it didn't help, I had some other problems with this but I think it's not important (I'll tell later if needed)
I tested Fedora 15 Alpha XFCE LiveCD, but it didn't boot because of my CPU I guess (VIA C3 1 GHz, Nehalem core). I also tested Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD, but it told that there was an error with radeon and low graphics mode is needed or something like that. So it was as bad as Debian. I took few logs and stuff to pastebin.

Did anyone try to get ATI Radeon 9200 working on Maverick? For me, the DVI flickers all the time like crazy and is totally unusable.
frglx doesn't seem to support it anymore, adding Option "NoAccel" partially solved the issue
I would like to upgrade from Win8.1 to Debian 8. This post might require some Wind expertise as well. I have to deal with the dreaded UEFI interface.
I got the iso with the added firmware from here: [URL] ....
The i386 download and it appears to be 334 MB. I pretty got it because I don't want to mess with the wireless controller (been there done that.)
As far as the Wind side goes I disabled secure boot. Just whenever I get to the fancy blue screen, I select boot from EFI DVD. Then it just says it can't load it and asks if I want to continue loading the OS. This might be useful I used the default Desktop Burning Gadget to burn the disk image.
Just wanted to check, would the kernel in Jessie blacklist queued trim for the Samsung 840 EVO for compatibility with firmware EXT0DB6Q as per similar situations that have occurred with other drives?

View 3 Replies View Relatedi had recently loaded squeeze and had an issue with the 2d performance.i.e when being prompted for the root password, the shading slowly draws down the screen several times before stopping at the final darker shade. i then added the linux-firmware-nonfree package. all worked extremely well, even compiz, but i don't really care about compiz. i just loaded it to see how it performed. i then distro-hopped a bit and when i came back to squeeze the first thing i did was add the package, but the video is acting like i haven't added the package. i've searched for an answer, but have not found anything recent to indicate if xorg was upgraded or what.stable lenny works fine, but i'd rather have the nice console fonts when not in x and more up to date apps like gimp and xsane in squeeze.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just lost my weekend trying to install Xubuntu 10.04 on my pc I made the ps a while back - its built on a ASUS P4S800D-E motherboard and it has an ATI Radeon 9200 LE graphics card. It has a PS/2 keyboard and mouse, 1Gb of memory and a 160Gb PATA/IDE hard drive (I unplugged the SATA drives) Every time I installed or made a tweak to the config it failed in the same way. It showed its failure by continually repeating the first character typed. Regardless of whether this was the password screen for synaptic or just the first character typed into a terminal. Until the first character was typed the mouse seemed to work ok but then it would stall too
I've tried most things, running Xorg with/without an xorg.conf file, loading the ppa kernel and tweaking loads of bios and grub boot parameters all to no avail. So I think I want a more linux friendly graphics card and I fear I may need a new motherboard. Can someone recommend a replacement graphics card for this motherboard? Can anyone reassure me that my motherboard is ok with linux?
I can't my system because of this error: Code: linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin exists in filesystem Note that in the beginning, it asks:
Code: :: Replace kernel26-firmware with core/linux-firmware? [Y/n] There are so many updates by now that the list fills in a few pages in the terminal! Also, I wonder why so many Arch updates get stuck or broken compared to almost any other distro? Is it poorly designed packages? Is it a design flaw in pacman/the package format?
Is this card supported in Squeeze by either the non-free firmware or the proprietary driver? I just got one to stick into an older box that will be going to a college girl that wants the 3D desktop in KDE. The built-in video was a joke and wouldn't even work without compositing. It was one of those crappy, non-standard pieces of crap known as a "Unichrome" (not the pro).
View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Debian Jessie on my computer with M2A-VM motherboard and Radeon X1250 graphics card. The problem I am having is some games are running extremely slow, Torc and Mame64. I ran glxgears and it displayed gears running nicely. I ran glxinfo and it said direct rendering yes. It also displayed a lot of lined ending with none or slow. How I can make the graphics card run faster?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Debian Jessie. All the firmware packages are properly installed, and so are the radeon free driver packages.
However, Gallium falls back to llvmpipe, which from what I understand is a software rasterizer and not actually hardware rendering.
Everything works fine except some specific things like KDE's cube animation, which says it can't be enabled because it requires OpenGL.
How do I get Debian to run Gallium properly?

I am running a small Debian Jessie installation on my Zotac Nano AD10 (based on AMD's E-350, Radeon 6310). I use it as an MPD server, it outputs to my receiver over HDMI.
Up until kernel 3.11 that works fine. My GRUB command line looks like this (default grub.cfg file):
Code: Select all$ grep radeon /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet elevator=noop radeon.audio=1 radeon.dpm=1"
Up till 3.11, this worked fine. The available outputs in alsamixer are unmuted [00]. Aplay reports this:

I've tried fixing this repeatedly (3.12, 3.13, 3.14) but everytime i find myself returning to 3.11 because that keeps working.... Some posts suggest running xrandr could get it working, but this is a headless installation, so I cannot use xrandr.
For reference, OpenELEC works on this same system (separate install), and they're up to 3.14 as well. Never had a problem with OpenELEC and the audio not working.
I keep most of my files on my server, but fiddle with them using NFS from one or another of my laptops - so they all have static IPs assigned by my router. If I want extra speed I plug in an Ethernet cable. My old DI524 wireless G router seems quite happy to have two MAC addresses (Ethernet and wireless) assigned to the same static IP, so long as I don't try using both simultaneously. However three Wireless N routers I've tried won't allow this, nor will dd-wrt.
I really don't want to have to set up every laptop as two separate hosts on my network. 'orrible complications.
Best solution I can think of is to get the Ethernet card to spoof the wireless MAC address with e.g. macchanger, as per this excellent page here: [URL] ....
I don't mind running a script manually to do that on each occasion.
This works perfectly on my old R50 Thinkpad running Debian Squeeze, but on my R60 (running Wheezy) and T400 (running Jessie), macchanger works initially, BUT as soon as I hit 'enable networking' in the Network Manager applet, the ethernet card reverts to its original setting. So of course then my router allocates a random IP and so NFS won't work.
Exactly the same goes for the iproute method 'ip link set dev eth0 address [fakemac]' - ifconfig shows it's worked, but it reverts as soon as NetworkManager goes back up.
I don't know where Network Manager (if it is that) is getting the Ethernet card's original MAC from, it seems to be listed in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, so on the T400 (Jessie) I've even tried creating a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/75-mac-spoof.rules along the lines suggested in that archlinux page I mentioned -
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="[original MAC]", RUN+="usr/bin/ip link set dev %k address [fake MAC]"
but it seems to have no effect.
Short of reverting to Debian Squeeze on all my laptops, I don't know what else to do. Or getting into my router and reassigning the IP / MAC address by hand every time (!).
(If there's a better way to swapping easily from wireless to Ethernet when required, I'd like to know.)
Using x11vnc server on Debian host, and TightVNC viewer client on Windows 7. All was working fine until a server host upgrade, from Wheezy to Jessie. Now, when I try to connect, TightVNC retrieves the certificate as normal, compares and accepts it, and starts stunnel. The next step would normally be to prompt for the VNC password.
Instead it gives an error:
ReadExact: Socket error while reading.
I'm guessing that some thing is missing or misconfigured after the Jessie upgrade, which broke many other things too, as Debian upgrades always seem to do. I have removed and reinstalled the x11vnc package, no effect.
The errors in the log file don't mean a lot to me.
The server is started with this command:
Code: Select allx11vnc -ssl -display :0 -usepw >>vnc-log 2>&1 &
If I start it up without the -ssl flag, and connect from the Windows system with a different client (Mobaxterm) it all goes well.

I'm just trying to install a Jessie i386 image in Oracle Virtualbox.
My host specs are:
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Wheezy is installing correctly, but Jessie is not. It fails during the partitioning of the disk, and gives an error message like: unable to write to disk, start = 236342 length = 0. This is not the exact message but I'm unable to try again at the moment.
When I install Wheezy and apt-get update / upgrade to Jessie, I get a black screen after reboot..
I am using Jessie with XFCE and I tried to write a service which executes a script to change my wallpaper. When I try to start the service with systemctl start wallpaper.service it fails and I get the outout below from systemctl status wallpaper.service
I don't think it to be a permissions issue, they are -rw- r-- r--
This service is called by a timer that goes off daily. Below is wallpaper.service
I am trying to clean install Jessie 8.3.0 onto an old PC, where I already have wheezy 7.7 working. I am using the 3 DVD- i386, which passed the integrity check.
Installation goes on smoothly till completing the "Select and Install SW" stage from 1st and 2nd DVD. At this point I get the warning that "Installation step failed, ..", giving the choice to repeat.
When repeated, the process gets completed (without asking for 2nd DVD), the new installation boots normally, but the KDE desktop opens irregularly, with some basic applications missing, and some flaws during certain operations.
The APT does not show any missing/broken link. I tried and repeat the installation with different choices as for kernels and/or desktops, but got the same result. I cannot guess where the problem originates, nor whether it is a known bug of the installer.
I'm just completing an upgrade from wheezy to jessie and get the following error

Is this somehow related to the change to only update the microcode on boot as reported earlier in the upgrade?

View 2 Replies View Related I have been happily running Wheezy on the Chromebook Pixel with little or not issues. Recently I needed to re-install and decided to try Jessie. Again I was following the excellent instructions at [URL] .... except with the Jessie image.
However everytime I went to install it (after adding in the mem=4G line) it just rebooted and brought me back to the same install screen again. I just downloaded the Wheezy image again and it is installing now perfectly.

I find the next one. When I boot into jessie my RAID device (just a data partition not /) is not found causing the boot to fail as per problems reported here
[URL] ....
After booting I can mount my RAID device but if it's in the fstab when booting it fails. Also, I notice that some of my lvm device names have changed. After a bit of hunting around I found a couple of solutions pointing to running dmraid as a service during boot and changing the entry for the RAID device in fstab to use the UUID.
[URL] .....
This seems to work. However this seems to be a workaround and as the lvm device paths for my / and /usr partitions have also changed, I'm wondering if there is a bug here as mentioned in the second link?
The / and /usr paths changed to /dev/dm-2 and /dev/dm-3 from the /dev/mapper/ form.
I have did a clean installation of Debian Jessie today on my laptop and my computer.I use the Gnome 3.14.1 Desktop environment.
I installed Spotify-Client via PPA, and i installed the gconf-editor, gufw and Google Earth. Those 3 applications are not visable in the Gnome applications menu.
If i run then via the terminal, e.g. spotify-client, gconf-editor, gufw and google-earth, the applications are started. They seem to be installed correctly. I tried either running apt-get purge spotify-client gconf-editor google-earth-stable gufw, and reinstalled those applications, to no avail.
I even tried installing another desktop environment, mate-desktop. The shortcuts to the applications do exist in /usr/share/applications. Only not in the Gnome 3 menu. It's strange, because this problem happens both on my desktop and my laptop computer.
I run:
Debian Jessie 8.2.0 with Gnome 3.14.1.
Kernel 3.16.0-4
amd64 architecture
I also tried reinstalling Gnome-Shell and GDM. But it doesn't work.
Before, Debian Wheezy 7.9 was installed, and there was no problem. My Debian installation is fully up-to-date.
I am running Squeeze on an older Compaq EVO laptop with radeon graphics.
A few months ago, after an upgrade, suspend and hibernate stopped working. The suspend or hibernate worked fine, but the resume just hung with a black screen. I finally got around to looking into it and found a workaround.
The workaround is to disable Kernel Mode Setting for the radeon. This can be done by adding the boot parameter "radeon.modeset=0" or by editing /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf so that it includes the line "options radeon modeset=0".
If you are interested in the details, you can search for problem reports related to radeon kernel mode setting.
