Debian Buster 10 screen upside down now

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster main non-free

Wrong man. You need to learn how to edit a text file, or you did not understand what I explained.

To make it simple, backup your sources.list, and create this one /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free

Code: Select all

apt update 
apt install firmware-misc-nonfree 

thank you

Then you need an expert. May be some boot options are necessary. I cannot test.
That's all for me.
and reminder... you can remove firmware-amd-graphics.

thank you very much for all your help really.
I did remove firmware-amd-graphics with apt-get remove firmware-amd-graphics command not installed it says

Side question, what is your idea of best full backup software for a noob like me

[L_V]

First, to be consistent with the thread, is libgl1-mesa-dri installed ? A bit surprised of your problem with i915 module.

May be what you describe needs some clarification:
"Now my laptop screen is upside down. I have try to change it in the display options but there is not a option anymore. "

At least, you have now a working light and clean sources.list.
==============
Concerning backup tools, it really depends on the real need.
I never backup a system, because I found this totally useless, ... for my use, and even dangerous.
You need to save your /home partition or directory.
May be too late, but important to install with home on a separate partition.

Now which program.....
In command line: rsync. You need some time to learn it. Powerful, but ..... not immediate.
In GUI mode, could be luckybackup , or borgbackup (Debian package), with its GUI (it exists somewhere) [ vorta ].
The specificity of borg is to not only sync efficiently, but also to keep history, if needed.
All this needs real time for investigation. No obvious solution.
And ... this is not the subject !
==============
Now back to i915....

When I turn on the laptop and welcome screen there. I see my username is and background picture debian 10. it is upside down
I press enter to type my password and I get into the system no issue.
The activities icon that is normal right side up on the left top area is now, bottom right corner.
To move my cursor or arrow keys have to do the opposite way you would if your screen is right side up.
When I plug in a vga cable into the vga port on the side of my laptop. Everything is right side up(aka normal screen you would see when starting up any pc)
I can pull out the vga cable and sometimes the screen will flip upside down again or the laptop will go back to login screen for me to login again also anything that was open will be closed. Or the nothing happens until I reboot the system.

rebooting now


Same issue

[L_V]

No, you don't understand.
1 - install inxi => "apt install inxi " (not with -G , and I did not request this output).
2 - give the ouput of "inxi -G"

The purpose is not to "solve" anything, but to get the ouput of a command.

thank you !!!

Maybe to be investigated ... Wayland

I have => Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4

You have => Display: Wayland server: X.Org 1.20.4

Is Wayland the cause of your problem ... don't know. I have never used Wayland.

L_V you have done a lot on this thread and you have do a lot helping me learn here too.
No worries, I read a few places that Wayland is replacing X.Org for buster.

Thank you very much for all your help, really thank you

[L_V]

I read a few places that Wayland is replacing X.Org for buster.

Yes but you cannot jump to conclusion that Wayland is not a problem for your configuration.
I use Buster.. with Xorg and even don't know if I should switch to Wayland.
I never make "default" installation.
I have installed Buster a long time ago, and had some preference for Xorg ... at that time.

Then good luck, hoping you will find useful help.

This tells me you installed an "official" Debian without any non-free firmware and you probably need that for your screen.
Edit as root /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure they contain (for Buster:)

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org buster main non-free

Then do apt update followed by apt upgrade and apt dist-upgrade followed by (if all was successful without any errors) apt autoremove.

Don't use deb-multimedia, they don't know how to package and have a history of dependency-related problems.

The corrupted sources.list issue has been solved on 2019-07-26.
No need to modify a sources.list 3 times a day.. I never change mine, and it works fine.

The subject is "screen upside down now"
We have investigated firmware: nothing found for the moment.
I have raised Wayland vs X11 : don't know.

What is absolutely sure is that adding a "deb-multimedia.org" (???) which is not recommended, not necessary is just adding extra mess which is not a request of HappyGilmore, and will create future problems, more difficult to track (said by experience), ant that HappyGilmore will not be able to solve.

Wish you good luck to solve HappyGilmore issue.
