General :: Kernel 2.6.34 - No Graphical Console

Aug 8, 2010

I have been running kernel-2.6.33 (gentoo) with a graphical console which appears after the grub screen. My kernel parameters include `vga=0x317'. Since I upgraded my kernel I have only been able to get a 80x25 text console. If I use `vga=0x317' I get a black screen after the grub prompt. I have tried using `vga=ask' and choosing a number of resolutions - with no luck.

I've tried a "vanilla" 2.6.34 config and also a bootable Sabayon Linux disk with 2.6.34 - with the same result. Interestingly Sabayon Linux eventually fired up X successfully - after a black screen while it was booting.

Its looking like 2.6.34 doesn't like my hardware.

Here is some info about my hardware:

Here is my kernel config (relevant bits):

General :: Instruct The Kernel To Use A USB Keyboard And FB Device As It's Boot Console?

Jul 8, 2010

I'm guessing the answer to my question is in manipulating the kernel command line. But with what arguments? (and does the kernel have it's own fonts to be used on a FB device?)

The host is a ARM9 based embedded system with a 1-bit LCD screen.

This is a prelude question to: Naming a Frame buffer Device

General :: Kernel Mode Setting Sets Wrong Resolution On Console/Intel GL40/several Kernels

Feb 21, 2010

Basically, About 50% of the time, the system boots and sets the console resolution to something strange, and the console renders in a small box in the top-left hand corner of my screen. This causes problems not only with the display of the console, but with the display of X as well.

I have an Intel GL40 chipset on this laptop, with an integrated GMA4500 GPU. I am using the latest stable Intel video drivers (2.10.0-1), and have tried using the git drivers. In addition, the problem has been occuring since December, when I install Arch linux on this machine, I have just now had the time to address it. So basically, the issue has persisted with all driver versions since mid-December to the latest releases.

In addition, I have tried using several kernels, including:

But the problem persists with each.

I wish I could give you relevant diagnostic information for this issue, but if I had any idea where to start...

I will gladly post any information necessary. I was going to post a copy of everything.log for a successful and unsuccesful boot, but unfortunately they put me over the posing limit by about 100,000 characters each.

I guess, on second thought, that my Intel video driver really wouldn't have anything to do with my console, now would they?

Red Hat :: Disabling Kernel Messages On Console?

May 17, 2010

is there any way to disable kernel messages on the console? The problem I have is that it is almost impossible to work on the console due to a flood of file system errors from the kernel.

I've checked /etc/syslog.conf and disabled kernel logging to the console. Even with syslog turned off the messages still flood the console.

Programming :: Writing To Console From Kernel Module

Mar 2, 2011

I'm currently doing a tutorial for writing kernel modules. Right now I'm still at the very beginning, i.e. writing my helloworld stuff.

But what I like to do now is to write stuff onto the console, and I don't get it. According to my tutorials I can print stuff on the console using the printk()-function as long as the priority-level of the macro used in printk() is lower than the console_loglevel (how can I find that value out btw?).

But it doesn't work for me. Even if I use KERN_EMERG it still gets only logged, but not printed on the console and I thought KERN_EMERG get always printed...

Here's my code:

Code:

Code:

Everything works fine. But as soon as there are any blanks in mystring, e.g.

Code:

I always get

Why do I get this error and how can I insert string with blanks?

OpenSUSE Install :: Autologin - Syslog - Kernel Messages - Console

May 9, 2010

What i'm trying to accomplish seems rather silly but is needed for my little project here.

I'm using OpenSuSE 11.2 as a media center PC and need it to login automatically(console not X). That one i accomplished without problems.

However, after login i can see all the info about the services that were started and that needs to "go away".

One could do a "clear" in the .bash_rc and or .bash_profile but it will still show the login prompt which i don't want to see either (i don't even want to see the blinking cursor as well).

Question: How do i accomplish that so that the login console shows only the "splash screen" without any output of the kernel,rc.status nor the "issue-file"... just a plain blank screen ?

OpenSUSE Install :: No Bootsplash/console Background After Kernel Update

May 16, 2011

Recently I did a kernel update (compiling it manually with help of SuSE Automatic Kernel Compiler). Everything works fine and I am happy with my own settings, however there is one thing that I would to enable. On the stock kernel there is a openSUSE bootsplash on startup and a nice looking openSUSE background image in console mode. On my newly compiled kernel there is no such a eyecandies. My question is: How to enable them on my own compiled 2.6.38 kernel?

P.S In the attachment you can see what i mean with that background image in console mode, so you get my point. This is the image found on the internet, my system is openSUSE 11.4 (64 bit)

Hardware :: Radeon Kernel Modules Blanks Console Terminals?

Sep 8, 2010

When I load the radeon module, from initscripts, the commandline, or when Xorg loads it, it makes all my consoles go blank. They are still active I can type into them then cat /dev/vcs* from X, and I see what I typed. I am using vga16fb as my framebuffer console driver, and am on PowerPC so I don't think I can use plain VGA consoles.

this is my /etc/modprobe.d/video.conf

Code:
install radeon /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install radeon modeset=1 tv=0
lspci | grep -i radeon

Code:
0000:04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 0x3e50 [Radeon X600]

Debian Configuration :: Squeeze Backport Kernel 2.6.38 - Only A Console Login Prompt No GUI

May 22, 2011

I installed 2.6.38 from backports. It boots OK, and among the start-up messages it says it has started kdm, but then it offers only a console login prompt, no GUI. I assumed (perhaps optimistically?) that newer kernels would be backward-compatible, and that any dependencies on other software would be enforced by the package mechanisms. Running amd64, Squeeze, KDE.

Software :: Line-drawing Characters Not Longer Drawn In Console After Kernel Upgrade?

Jun 24, 2009

I upgraded in Ubuntu from 2.6.28-13 to 2.6.30 and now I get no line-drawing characters in applications like alsamixer; instead they are replaced by 127-bit chars like 'lqqk'. As a coder, I'd really like to understand what happened - what changed (file in /etc?) affecting terminal capabilities, and what does the kernel have to do with it .

PS: the distro is Jaunty and I used the debs at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-mainline/:

Code:

linux-headers-2.6.30-020630_2.6.30-020630_all.deb

Debian :: Automatically Start Graphical (SDL) Program As Root On Non-graphical Debian?

Mar 3, 2009

I'm not a Linux noob, but I am far from guru. I'm running a single board computer with a slightly customized Debian Etch (customized by the SBC vendor). No Gnome/KDE/X installed. My application is a control application which uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to paint some basic graphics on the VGA. I need to run it as root because the application calls iopl() to access an IO port.If I run my application manually from the command line, life is sweet. From Googling around, I found http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28, and hence I:1) Created a script in /etc/init.d2) Executed "update-rc.d scriptName defaults" to link the script into the boot sequenceAll very straightforward. My application starts at boot. But when I try to SSH/SFTP into the SBC, I get "Connection refused". So I can't manage the SBC anymore, and this is a big problem. I am not sure if it's relevant, but my application starts before the SSH daemon.My script looked like:

case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting my application"

[code]...

General :: Graphical Display Appearing Very Blurry

Feb 23, 2011

I have installed fedora 8 on my cPCI based system [URL]. It seems to have 256MB RAM. Once I login as root in text editor mode, I typed init 5. But the graphical display appears very blur. I changed the monitor, but still same result. One more observation I made is, after 10mins it used to enter into screen saver mode (blank screen), but when I pressed some button, the graphical display appeared with full colors. But now even this is not happening. The system just goes into some state after init 5, where my the display goes blank and even the keyboard doesn't work.

General :: Xorg - Set Environment Variables For A Graphical Login?

I am not talking about starting a terminal and exporting environment variables within the terminal, because those variables only exist within that one terminal. I want to know how to set an environment variable that will apply to all programs started in my graphical session.

In other words, what's the Xorg equivalent of ~/.bash_login?

General :: Graphical Configuration Left By Removed User

Jan 31, 2010

I recently had a problem with one and only one user on an Ubuntu 9.10 desktop system.

[URL]

The user who installed Ubuntu eventually could not log into the desktop (Gnome) without getting a small X-term appearing in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. I have since fixed the problem by reinstalling and using frequent logouts and reboots to see if the original problem could be re-created.

Other users, most of whom were also admin who could use sudo and were created after the installing user, could log into Gnome just fine. The installing user was fully deleted and re-created (home directory) and not installed with its backed up information. This still did not fix the problem.

My question is this. What could be left behind and possibly in which files by the installing user that would still affect this user even after that user was completely removed and re-created?

The only thing I have not done on the re-installation, is I have not installed Konqueror. I have installed konsole, which installs some KDE components, and that was done the first time.

I don't want to install Konqueror and have the same problem occur again at least without a place to look, so I don't have to re-install. I did make the classic mistake of not looking in the logs, specifically xsession errors. I won't make that mistake again.

I need to display a message graphically using a messagebox or textbox through bash script. However the message should be keep changing every 4 secs . I input the message from a file and use "gxmessage" to display it .

I do not like this solution and it looks ugly too , because it is visible that the message box is getting killed and forked every time..Can't I use the same gxmessage message box for all the messages just by putting new messages and hence refreshing the same box.Any idea , anything other than gxmessage will do , if a solution is somewhere else.
