[Solved]Snapshot w/Intel driver bug

#1 Post by TauTsar »

Edit: The snapshot iso testing is done in VirtualBox.

My snapshot made while the Intel video driver is enabled doesn't start past the top left flashing cursor. After keying alt+F2, logging in and typing startx that fails with errors. Is this a known problem?

I tested a snapshot made without the Intel driver enabled which works.

not known by me. the intel driver shouldn't even be loading with VB running.

I don't know what's relevant. I'm burning a usb now to test.

That sounds like the expected result if you force X to use the Intel driver without any Intel GPU being available, as in VBox. That's what the Intel tweak does. A workaround could be to have something detect an Intel GPU at boot and add the 20-intel.conf file on the fly only if it's present.

The snapshot works when burned to usb. Sorry I didn't realize what was happening.
Thanks everyone.
