Graphics corruption and Failure to boot on Iris pro graphics #27

Open froyo-np opened 10 years ago

froyo-np commented 10 years ago

On a gigabyte brix pro (intel i7 4770R, Iris pro GPU 5200), This installer hits several problems. On install (power-user, dual boot scenario), The "select and install software" stage fails. after completing the install, I booted via recovery mode, and ran the post_install script, re-booted. Now after the initial steam splash screen, the screen goes mostly black except for some corruption / noise, and then hangs until restarted.

Thanks for your installer, it seems like its excellent work - I realize it may be hard to support this due to the difficult-to-come-by hardware, but any suggestions you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having the same exact problem with the following hardware:

Intel i7 950 @ stock clock Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 22GB RAM DDR3 @ 2000Mhz Gigabyte 560 Ti OC Generic USB mouse and keyboard

According to the logs, it fails when trying to install tasklist since it cannot find one of the dependencies (The PC was connected to the network during the whole installation)

Hey there, I think I've corrected the issue, I think it was my fault to begin with? anyway, here are the steps I took:

  1. after installing steamOS, login in recovery (terminal only) mode.
  2. run the post install script, restart.
  3. boot in normal mode. if you come to the corrupt screen, press ctrl+alt+f2 for a while, until it drops into a terminal.
  4. run sudo apt-get update - I think this is the thing that gets the drivers and such? sorry, Im not a linux pro.
  5. run startx, which works fine, then I run steam, which also work hooray!

if you get to step 5 and startx doesn't work, then you should be able to use the recovery mode of the yeOldeSteamOS installer to re-run the "select install software stage" of the installation process, then go again from step 3?

anyway, thats what worked for me, good luck!

I'm not gonna be able to diagnose Iris Pro issues unless I get my hands on a Brix or something.
