Hi,
I've downloaded th openmamba livedvd-2.0.11 but i cannot get the live session to work!
Here is the synopsis:
1)from the boot screen of 3.4mamba i cannot get a live session: after getting the first few dialogs of setting up I cet a black screen with a little green. This happens for both default 3.4mamba & default mamba-64GB !
2) If i select the no modeset option of vga 1024x768 then when i try to boot the screen justs hangs at that first screen
3) If i choose default openmamba & use tab to add the 'nomoseset' option to the kernel arguments then also I am stuck at that screen!
I've booted different linux distros, i've had to select 'nomodeset' and 'no splash' for both Ubuntu & fedora but that doesn't seem to work!
Details about my system:
AMD A4 dualcore processor
AMD Radeon 6xxx series graphics cards
3.5Gb Memory
any other information u need i am ready to furnish !
Thanks
Bhatta
Hi,
can you access a console by pressing CTRL-ALT-F2? If so you might try to generate a system report with the openmamba-makereport command, copy the output file outside someway and attach it here or send to reports @ openmamba.org for me to check.
sorry for the late reply..I have been trying to get a console finally got it using the following kernel args:
1) 3.4mamba 64Gb- no splash & nomodeset (quiet splash doesn't work, just like in fedora)
Attached image-1426 gives a screen while the system is booting, i uploaded that just in case it give any insight.
2) Also, 1024x768 'no splash & nomodeset' gives a console and i've generated the openmamba-makereport
Both the 1) & 2) consoles gave the same results to openmamba-makereport which is attached in images 1424 & 1425.
Is there anything wrong with the iso burnt? i didn't do a checksum, BTW !
Since the attachments are large I'm sending them to reports @ openmamba.org
Hi Bhatta,
thanks for taking the time to report the problem and taking the pictures.
Unfortunately the report couldn't be created because the computer serial number contains '/' which are not escaped by the openmamba-makereport (now fixed for future releases). You may want to retry running openmamba-makereport after editing or deleting the file /etc/sysconfig/machine.
BTW image-1426 shows a X crash while detecting the video driver, this may be caused by the ATI proprietary driver, the report should give further details on the problem by including /var/log/Xorg.*.log files.
Also you might try booting the devel (snapshot) livecd or livedvd releases which contain more up-to-date user-space drivers.
what is the major difference between the livecd & livedvd? Will i get a DE in the livecd from where i can add individual apps later on ?
I want to give the livecd/dvd a try before i try booting up 2.0.11 & delete/edit /etc/sysconfig/machine !
Also, link please for the devel-livecd/dvd.Will downloading 'weekly snapshot livecd ' give me the devel version?
Glad to be of any help in tinkering the project!
