[Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

Hi guys,

I install bunsenlabs in a new laptop, however there are four issues: very small font, no sound, no wireless, image is nor render propperly. So I install the new kernel according to https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=1257 However after installation the system hangs.

the output of the command lshw -short:

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

@Naddan - if you would like people to read through hundreds of lines of text, then make it easier for them and use [ code ] tags please.
Forum formatting help is in my sig wink

I'm not a hardware guru, but it looks like you may be using Intel/nVidia, in which case have a look at https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers/Optimus

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

Try disabling irqbalance.
in /etc/default/irqbalance:
ENABLED="0"

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

I really don't think BunsenLabs on Skylake hardware is going to work very well sad

Even with an updated kernel & graphics stack from jessie-backports, Xorg will still be too old & crusty...

There is always testing/unstable but that isn't really for mission-critical applications.

Have you considered Windows?

I'm sure stretch will run great on it when it goes to stable next year big_smile

Hi damo,

Yeah, sorry by the missing code tags.

My nvidia card is not optimous.

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

Did you install the package 'irqbalance', or was it automatically installed for you?

Did you get the same 'oops' as reported before?

Windows?! WTF?!!!!! :-D

Well the thing is that it is not just about BunsenLabs, I have tried BunsenLabs, Debian, Centos7 and Fedora 23. I get the best results with Fedora and the default kernel (sound, wireless but the only problem is that the display renders (?, shows?) is very small), however after upgrading to kernel 4.5 Fedora "hangs" with a very interesting behaviour http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/showt … ost1763412

I really like BunsenLabs Linux

Switch to a TTY with <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F2?

That boot log seems to show a normal boot...

Just tried and yes, it promts the login in text mode and I can login... BUT I can not start the X server and it keeps displaying lines as if the system were booting

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

OK, lets try disabling kernel modesetting:

At the GRUB menu, highlight the BL entry and press "e" then add this to the end of the line that starts with "linux":

nomodeset

Then press <Ctrl>+x (at the same time) to boot the modified entry.

As you have both Intel and NVIDIA cards, you can also try these variations:

nomodeset i915.modeset=0

Or:

nomodeset i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0

I would recommend disabling the NVIDIA card in your firmware (BIOS) options to eliminate that for now until we get the desktop working.

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

I set the kernel option as you said:

nomodeset i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0

It works!!!... Almost :-D sound is back but still not wireless... I want to disable NVIDIA card but unfortunatelly the BIOS is kind of crappy... it just has the basic options and non of them are about the video card...

For that, sir will be wanting the backported firmware package:

sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi/jessie-backports

https://packages.debian.org/jessie-back … re-iwlwifi

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

Wonderfull, sound and wireless working!!

Just checking again the BIOS, and I confirm, it is a crappy one (no options for video card)... How can I choose between NVIDIA and Inter video cards? I think I can live without NVIDIA for the moment.

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

Excellent news! smile

You can try PRIME if you want:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME

I have never owned a system with a non-integrated graphics card so I have no idea if it will work.

EDIT: Or is that only for Optimus systems?  :8

I would think that you are using the Intel card at the moment but I'm not sure.

What is the full output of:

lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

I think you're running the modesetting driver.

How is the performance of the desktop?

Do you have hardware acceleration?

glxinfo|grep rendering

Also, there is no need to full quote me in your reply if it directly follows my query -- it makes the thread more difficult to follow.

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

The performance is good.

Output for glxinfo:

# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

I set

Xft.dpi: 96

in ~.Xresources and the graphics render much better however everything is very small, and if using a bigger setting things gets gigantic proportions.

This image is using the setting: Xft.dpi: 96 (or 120, 130)

fullsized image redacted -HoaS

and this image is using the setting: Xft.dpi: 150

fullsized image redacted -HoaS

There is nothing in the middle.

In case it is not too visible the difference:

http://212.67.221.142/Test/image.png

http://212.67.221.142/Test/image2.png

Observe that in the second image the ghraphic in  the taks bar is blur.

Re: [Solved] System hangs after installing new kernel

With the "Xft.dpi" line commented out, what is the reported and actual DPI of your screen?

xdpyinfo|grep -A1 dim
