No terminal with CTL+ALT+F1...6?

MerlinElMago · 2016-06-29 11:11:34

Hey guys,
as you know, I'm running BL on my Asus 11" Cloudbook and so far I have been extremely happy with it. Yesterday (for the sake of just trying it) I decided to switch to a terminal. To my surpise, the screen flickered a little and threw me right back to the login screen of my DM. Funnily I was absolutely unable to recover any of the running programs of my existing session. I was as if my X session just got killed and OB started over again. So having a closer look I found out that I had no framebuffer device. So I tried switching over to a plain old terminal without framebuffer, but so far I have not been able.
I already tryed several boot options from Grub2 bort none of them could help me with my problem. The screen has a resolution of 1366x786.

Regards
Merlin

Just found out that light-locker exhibits the same behaviour.

Hi MerlinElMago,

I can not reproduce this.
I suspect this behaviour might be caused by your relatively new hardware.
Try installing the graphical stack from backports, or, if you have time and inclination, try the 'stretch' or 'sid' repos.

BTW.
Thanks again for you contribution to bl-exit.
If all developers agree, I will integrate the changes in the official bl-exit version.

Cheers

Those things use http://ark.intel.com/products/87257/Int … o-2_16-GHz with a non-HD Intel integrated graphics card. Not that new; perhaps it's a driver issue. Can you look if there is something interesting in the syslog and the Xorg log? Also please post the output of lsmod and lspci.

Two suggestions: Upgrade to a kernel from jessie-backports. There are threads on this already.

Or try uninstalling the xserver-xorg-video-intel user space driver and reboot; this will use Xorg modesetting instead.

When you say Light-locker exhibits the same behavior, do you mean that running the light-locker-command -l command and try to log back into that very session, it shuts down all of your programs running through openbox?

Some additional info on mode setting for those interested..:

That is only recommended for use with newer Xorg versions than Bunsenlabs has, performance would be poor with the modesetting driver in BL.

@OP: Try editing /etc/default/grub and un-comment this line:

GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console

Then save the file and update your GRUB configuration:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

This will disable the graphical console; there may be an incompatibility with the resolution set there and your graphics card.

Alternatively, try adding "nomodeset" as a kernel command line parameter:

First of all... thanks for your help.

@xaos52:
Of course you are allowed to use my code for bl-exit. After all, that's what I postied it for

I have tried booting with terminal output to console... and that is the strange thing. I'm absolutely unable to get any console, be it regular text mode or framebuffer.

I will try and upgrade my kernel version. I was reluctant to do this because of the warning titled "don't break bunsenlabs"

Yep, exactly. Whatever I run, bl-lock or directly light-locker, throws me right back at the login promt. When I log back in, it's like a newly rebooted session, no trace of my open programs or whatsoever.

Merlin

Anything in your systemd journalctl logs?

bamfdaemon

??

Installed from ubuntu?

Try removing it again and see if it solves your problem

Cheers

EDIT:
Sorry. I may have jumped to conclusions. I did not know bamfdaemon, so I presumed it was from Ubuntu.
But I now see it is in Debian too.

You're getting bounced to lightdm? What if you remove lightdm temporarily, what happens?

sudo apt remove lightdm lightdm-*
