Fatal server error: (EE) cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specif

I did a long overdue update the other day after maybe 4-6 months of not updating (sudo pacman -Syu) and restarted this morning only to find this error when I try to log in to an account that runs startx (then goes back to the login prompt):

Fatal server error: (EE) cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices (EE) (EE)

I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log, as it suggested and I see the same error and a bunch of data I don’t know the relevance of. I had to add the ‘-f’ flag to get the pacman update to run as one of the updates required it, and I wonder if it didn’t change my video libraries from like AMD to Nvidia. I see some GeForce mentions in the Xorg.0.log file, which I don’t think I was using any Geforce libraries before the update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We can’t possibly know the relevance either unless you show them to us.

You forced the entire upgrade instead of reading the news. There’s no telling what damage forcing the entire system update could do.

Debian10 framebuffer

Подождал почти год и обновился до 10-ки.

В X-ах получил: «Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices»

До обновления всё работало мно-о-о-го лет. Пытался загружать с 4.9.0-8 — результата нет.

Машина очень старая, карта VESA

В консоли (screen) всё хорошо.

телепаты на самоизоляции 🙁

именно обновился с 9-ки до 10-ки?

В X-ах получил: «Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices»

Xorg.0.log что говорит? логи смотри или показывай.

Пытался загружать с 4.9.0-8 — результата нет.

ядро откатывал или что?

Debian10 framebuffer

Да, Вы всё правильно поняли.

Re: Debian10 framebuffer

можешь перезалить на другой ресурс? в моём интернете блочат яндекс-диск.

Всё непросто, это машина жены 🙂

Re: Debian10 framebuffer

видимо из-за старой карты и возникают проблемы. насколько я понял.

до этого всё было ожидаемо, вот тут «нежданчик» всплыл

дальше крах и то самое сообщение

Поэтому я предлагаю озвучить имя карты и уже по ней искать решение… И возможно появится кто-то кто более эксперт, чем я.

Re: Debian10 framebuffer

Внимание! Далее вся ответственность за применение советов и последствия их применения лежит исключительно на Вас.

Пакет xserver-xorg-video-openchrome установлен? Если нет, установите его штатным образом, должно решить проблему.

Debian10 framebuffer

Re: Debian10 framebuffer

всё не просто с вашей картой. насколько я понимаю, основная причина не самоустранилась – файл /dev/dri/card0 по-прежнему не появляется

неожиданное заявление (для меня так точно)

в их git-е есть 0.6.224 (самая свежая версия на сегодня) от 2020-04-20, в установленном пакете версия от 2017-03-07

// хроника; комментарии лишние

В исходном коде имя Вашей карты упоминается, но её PCI ID в исходниках я не увидел

Что делать

В теории собрать свежую версию пакета* должно помочь. Но в этом процессе моя компетенция стремиться к нулю. Могу предложить только создать новый топик с описанием текущей ситуации (как вариант отредактировать или дополнить текущую тему):

• X-не стартуют, приложить (указать ссылки) 1-й и 2-й лог с указанием «до» и «после» установки пакета xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (прошу прощения ранее я указывал ссылку на пакет для Ubuntu; надеюсь Вы устанавливали штатными средствами)
• указать полный вывод lspci для вашей карты (возможно и модель ноутбука затребуют)
• описать предложенное мной решение – сборку из исходников
• изменить/добавить теги (не могу проверить есть такие или нет) «Xorg» «X» «Via» «DRI» «DRM» «KMS» «драйвер»

One more «X won’t start» issue (X cannot run in framebuffer)

One more «X won’t start» issue (X cannot run in framebuffer)

#1 Post by EIKA » 2021-01-01 16:47

My issue might look simple for Linux gurus. And there are a lot of similar threads here on board and other boards. But I spent 2 days working on it, and still no progress

Could you please, guys, look into and help me? I believe that we will be able solve this issue.

I installed Debian 10.7 from «firmware» distributive (at first I tried «netinstall» one, but lately switched to distributive that includes non-free firmware). I chose Desktop environment at tasksel tool at installation stage, as well as KDE Plasma. But system starts on console mode. And if I try to run it by entering X or startx, I am getting a lot of errors:

I googled a lot and found out 3 main directions for this or similar issue:

1. Installing ATI non-free drivers ( accordingly to this manual https://wiki.debian.org/AMDGPUDriverOnStretchAndBuster2 ; played with 20.45 version).
2. Installing free drivers ( accordingly this manual http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? . 93#p720067 )
3. Updating kernel headers.
4. Installing xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package.

But sadly nothing helped. But I am not Linux specialist and probably can do something wrong. I need your help and guidance, please.

Here is how exactly I did method # 1 (installation of ATI proprietary drivers):

Also, it can be important, I skipped patching. Because patch tool failed (it was unable to locate target file «amdgpu_bios.c»). Even after cd to /usr/src/amdgpu* dir.

Here is more data you will probably need:

VGA adapter data:

So it’s AMD Athlon Gold 3150U CPU (codename «Picasso») containing GPU (probably Vega 3). Under Windows GPU recognizes as AMD Radeon 530 Series / AMD Radeon Graphics.

And here is Xorg logs taken from brand new / just installed system (recorded BEFORE installing any drivers / before any actions taken): https://pastebin.com/MWqEEYn2

Now I am ready to start from scratch. I re-installed Debian OS 10.7 and ready for new experiments.

Describe the bug
Hi there,

I am in the process of setting up an Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 2021 laptop with an Intel Tiger Lake Graphics and an Nvidia RTX 3070 Mobile.

I followed the advice of the README to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, however I do not get a picture without letting xorg generate something itself using sudo Xorg :0 -configure.

Even then, switching only results in a black screen with a blinking cursor.
I have tried switching between TTY’s, but it doesn’t help, the screen stays black.

Let me know if you need further details, thx.

Hi all!

My issue might look simple for Linux gurus. And there are a lot of similar threads here on board and other boards. But I spent 2 days working on it, and still no progress

Could you please, guys, look into and help me? I believe that we will be able solve this issue.

I installed Debian 10.7 from «firmware» distributive (at first I tried «netinstall» one, but lately switched to distributive that includes non-free firmware). I chose Desktop environment at tasksel tool at installation stage, as well as KDE Plasma. But system starts on console mode. And if I try to run it by entering X or startx, I am getting a lot of errors:

Fatal server error:
X cannot run in framebuffer mode
Please specify BusIDs for all framebuffer devices.
xinit: saving up
xinit: Server terminated with error (1).
xinit: Unable to connect to X server: connection refused
xinit: server error

I googled a lot and found out 3 main directions for this or similar issue:

1. Installing ATI non-free drivers ( accordingly to this manual https://wiki.debian.org/AMDGPUDriverOnStretchAndBuster2 ; played with 20.45 version).
2. Installing free drivers ( accordingly this manual http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? … 93#p720067 )
3. Updating kernel headers.
4. Installing xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package.

But sadly nothing helped. But I am not Linux specialist and probably can do something wrong. I need your help and guidance, please.

Here is how exactly I did method # 1 (installation of ATI proprietary drivers):

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
tar -xvf amdgpu-pro-20.45-1164792-ubuntu-20.04.tar.xz
cd amdgpu-pro-20.45-1164792-ubuntu-20.04
dpkg -i amdgpu-dkms-firmware_*.deb
dpkg -i amdgpu-core_*.deb amdgpu-dkms_*.deb

Also, it can be important, I skipped patching. Because patch tool failed (it was unable to locate target file «amdgpu_bios.c»). Even after cd to /usr/src/amdgpu* dir.

Here is more data you will probably need:

VGA adapter data:

05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso [1002:15d8] (rev ce)

So it’s AMD Athlon Gold 3150U CPU (codename «Picasso») containing GPU (probably Vega 3). Under Windows GPU recognizes as AMD Radeon 530 Series / AMD Radeon Graphics.

And here is Xorg logs taken from brand new / just installed system (recorded BEFORE installing any drivers / before any actions taken): https://pastebin.com/MWqEEYn2

Now I am ready to start from scratch. I re-installed Debian OS 10.7 and ready for new experiments.
