KDE Neon: Blank screen on Live USB boot, white power LED **NOT** on #58

Open leledumbo opened 7 years ago

leledumbo commented 7 years ago

I'm respinning neon-useredition-20170907-1018-amd64.iso using prebuilt gpdpocket-20170826-kernel-files.zip. After burned to USB using etcher as suggested, it boots to GRUB and I can select OS. However, after a short log the screen goes blank (or black, as I can still see the screen is lit), the fan runs a little then nothing. Can't open any virtual terminal either so I can't see any log.

I already got KDE setup from the pre-respinned Unity ISO, after removing all unity related packages and install kubuntu-desktop. But I'll give another try, just to see whether this issue can be marked as solved for future references.

leledumbo commented 7 years ago

Done. Same result, no change.

I can confirm, KDE Neon does not boot from live usb for me either. But for Kubuntu everything is working.

A little update: I get the GUI appear with nomodeset kernel param. However, the display cannot be rotated even from the system settings. Will it work after installation? I'm not experienced enough with this.

leledumbo commented 6 years ago

Another update, the situation doesn't change after installation. BUT, I find one interesting fact: the kernel doesn't get replaced by respin, uname -a still shows 4.10 instead of 4.14. That explains the blank screen and every other non-working stuff.

Analyzing the filesystem.squashfs reveals vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-37-generic, but the boot directory has all 4.14 files! So the problem might be only because of this.

The latest (master) appears to install the kernel correctly and it seems to work, the UI + KDE in general on Neon is just a lot slower than Kubuntu for some reason.

leledumbo commented 6 years ago

vmlinuz still points to boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-42-generic (newer Neon than the last time) in filesystem.squashfs. I guess the best way to use Neon is to wait for next stable base (after Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) release, that will be based on kernel 4.15 with hopefully Hans patches included.

for me kde neon stucks at boot logo while booting with live USB

Recent KDE Neon is still broken for respin, but at least it uses kernel 4.13 so booting is fine without the need to change any boot option. From there, just install the system, clone this repo then run update(-kernel).sh. After that battery indicator and fan starts working. The graphics is kinda glitchy, though. I'm yet to find out why, but I'll stick to this system, just need to overwrite my existing-no-longer-supported 17.04 based Unity->KDE mod.
