Re: Grub2 and framebuffer

This doesn't work for me. Since the recent upgrade to 2.6.32.3-amd64 the framebuffer has been broken, I can't set anything except the default. The old method of setting it in /etc/grub.d/00_header & /etc/defaults/grub just leaves me with a blank screen, any workarounds would be appreciated. Thi...

Re: Grub2 and framebuffer

Yes I'm using them. But I have older intel desktop hardware and even older intel laptop hardware.... So I'm only able to offer hints as to what might be going on with your nvidia setup...especially if you're using the nvidia kernel... And updates are coming so fast that what I posted yesterday, mig...

Re: Grub2 and framebuffer

All I get is a black screen, after gdm starts and doing Ctrl+Alt+F1 gets me a also a black screen, sometimes there is the Debian boot loader logo all distorted.
So, X starts fine, is just the frame buffer that gets unusable.
If I set al to defaults I get the normal 640x480 frame buffer. :(

Re: Grub2 and framebuffer

Hi, sorry for waking this old thread but it seemed there was no point in starting a new one. So, unfortunately none of the above works for me, I used to set my FB resolution by editing /boo/grub/grub.cfg with: set gfxpayload=1680x1050x32 now it does't seem to work any more.

Re: task blocked for more than 120 second hung_task_timeout_secs

I have the same issue on Squeeze with kernel 2.6.32 i386 and amd64, for me the
task that gets hung is "mount" Can't figure out why.

Thank you very much for the howto Julian, much appreciated. Still, the pam authentication isn't clear to me on how exactly I should set up things, another thing that bugs me is that all the files inside Private got their name messed up, I'm using testing, so I wander if there is some sort of bug on ...
