[Bug 817444] New: Completely blank screen after GRUB
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817444 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817444#c0 Summary: Completely blank screen after GRUB Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dfaour@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1290.0 Safari/537.13 SUSE/24.0.1290.0 Computer is hooked up to a TV through HDMI and running xbmc-standalone. Everything was working fine until I rebooted. BIOS and the GRUB menu show up on the TV (so the connection is obviously working), but after that I only get a blank screen (I'm not dropped to command line, there's just nothing). The TV is not saying that there is no input. I don't believe I had updated any major system components or installed anything new. I am able to SSH into the machine and everything appears to be functioning normally, I can start programs and daemons no problem. If I attempt to start X (default behaviour is boot to command line) over SSH as I normally do, I get no errors, and top shows that xbmc.bin is running and active; but of course, nothing shows up on the TV. I have tried starting GNOME as well as XBMC-standalone, but there was no difference. My noobish opinion is that it seems as if my display is getting routed to another output port, but I have no idea how to check or change that. This had happened once before, but I got an error message related to Openbox on starting X (which is odd since I don't use Openbox). I removed Openbox with zypper and that seemed to fix it (note: this was a few weeks ago and I may have done something else to try and fix it, but I can't remember doing anything else). However, I am getting no such error this time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in HDMI cable 2. Boot computer Actual Results: BIOS and GRUB menus show up on the screen during boot, but screen is totally blank after. Expected Results: Screen should show openSUSE boot, command prompt and I should be able to start X on the monitor. dmesg output: http://susepaste.org/91108524 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
