[Solved] AppleTV Screen turns pink during boot

I got my AppleTV and a Broadcom Crystal HD card, but everytime Arch boots the screen turns pink (...). It happens when it starts loading the modules (there's a flicker on the screen). I have tried all three nVidia drivers - the OSS nv and nouveau ones, and the proprietary one. Adding 'nomodeset' to the GRUB config doesn't help any (and I understood xf86-video-nv doesn't have KMS support at all anyway). I tried both the 190 and 173 series of the nVidia drivers. Since the AppleTV software works fine (and the atv-bootloader environment and Arch boot sequence until it starts loading kernel modules are the regular white on black), I think it is a driver problem. However, Google isn't telling me anything specific. I know the chip is a GeForce Go 7300.
Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks. After taking the plunge once more - Ubuntu 9.10 netboot - I found out the pink hue disappears somehow... Don't ask what happened :-/. When I saw that I put Arch back on and behold, it works fine now . Maybe it was something HDMI-related.

  • Screen turning pink during graphic intensive apps

    Recently my 2011 MacBook Pro has been acting up. Sometimes when Im using it the white of the screen will turn pink and fuzzy, but still operate like normal. Today I realized that this only happens when Im using an application that depends on graphics, like photoshop, iphoto and the like. After running a hardware test all I got back was that a sensor has gone bad. Any tips? Im deciding if it might be easier just to outright buy a new system. Thank you!

  • [SOLVED] USB Harddrive via fstab turned off during Boot - Error

    Hello^^
    I'm trying to mount my external USB Drive.
    I put the following line in fstab:
    /dev/sdb1 /media/Musik ext4 noauto,user,default 0 1
    I only want to start the Harddive occasionally.
    The problem is, when the drive is completly turned off during boot I get the following error:
    No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1
    Possibly non existend device?
    I thought that the noauto Option should prevent fstab from mounting the hdd???

    Let me give you a hand then. The following I have in my /etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules, and what it does is:
    -- pick the name of a drive,
    -- create a dedicated /media/mountpoint name (certainly, "mountpoint" is replaced by the name of your drive),
    -- mount the drive on boot,
    -- unmount the drive on shutdown and delete the /media/mountpoint.
    KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
    # Import FS infos
    IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
    # Get a label if present, otherwise specify one
    ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
    ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"
    # Global mount options
    ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"
    # Filesystem-specific mount options
    ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002"
    # Mount the device
    ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"
    # Clean up after removal
    ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/%E{dir_name}"
    # Exit
    LABEL="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
    Plenty of handy examples you can find in /lib/udev/rules.d/ and modify them so they meet you needs. I hope it clarifies the matter a bit.

  • IPad's screen turned pink and flashing

    All of a sudden, my iPad's screen turned pink. Tried resetting but did not help. The screen is now red/pink-ish and flashing. I, of course, did not drop it or anything like that.
    Is this a hardware problem? is it fixable by a user?

    I just had mine replaced and it is betterr than the original.
    Holds the 3G signal better.
    i bought one as soon as they came out, so there is probably a bit of a higher failure rate for the first models.
    You are basically getting a new one and you have a year from the purchase to extend the warranty.
    I would not give up my Ipad.
    I look at laptops now and they seems like dinosaurs.

  • MBP 2011 - Ext. Screen not detected during boot

    Hey everyone,
    I got a new MBP 15" (2011) and I'm having issues with my screen (Acer X243HQ) during boot. It just doesnt get recognized when I boot the machine. Everytime I need to unplug it and plug it back in - which gets kinda annoying as the MBP mainly serves as desktop-replacement for now.
    Anyone else having these issues?
    Edit: Seems to apply to standby-mode as well: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2783561&tstart=30

    Alright, I will definitely give it a try.
    I´ve read on various sites and forums, that gnome-shell has some problems with the catalyst driver - Any expericence with that?
    So far I didn´t even get to start a X session, but I tested gnome-shell with ubuntu some while ago, and now want to use it witch arch.
    Besides I would love to see the intel-card running, as it gives me way better batter-life and I don´t really need the power of the Ati-card.
    Is there any way to, at least narrow down whats causing the problems with the intel-gpu?
    Anyways, I really appreciate that you take the time to help me with my problems

  • [SOLVED] Screen turns off on boot at "Loading ACPI Modules"

    So, I have been using arch for some time and am really liking it so far.  It has replaced Windows on my desktop and am planning to install it on my laptop when I get a chance.  I showed my parents some audio apps that run under Linux, and they suddenly wanted arch too!   I decided to install arch on their desktop, so after migrating Windows to a larger hard drive, I installed arch onto the remaining space...  Everything seemed fine until I tried to boot into the new system.  Once it reaches "Loading ACPI Modules" the screen turns off and refuses to turn back on.  I have tried everything I could think of (booting into the LiveCD again and running pacman -Syu on the new install, swapping the monitor to a different video port, reinstalling arch) and some solutions I found on the forums (adding acpi=off, noapic, nolapic_sound to the boot line.)  The latter made the boot skip ACPI, but the the screen blanks on "Waiting for udev events to be processed"!  I'm thinking it might be something to do with the video card (an old Radeon X1300 AGP) but I don't know what to do to fix it...  The system doesn't lock up, as even after it blanks I can log in and push Ctrl-G to make a terminal beep!  I've tried everything I can think of...  If this doesn't work I'll probably try another distro on that machine.  The system is:
    Intel D845WN Motherboard
    1GB PC133 RAM
    2.2Ghz Celeron Processor
    Radeon X1300 AGP card
    Sound Blaster Audigy PCI card
    USB 2.0 PCI Card
    PCI NIC
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    EDIT:  Actually, I think it does lock up, as I don't have to hold down the power button to turn it off after the screen blanks.
    EDIT AGAIN: Thanks, adding "radeon.setmode=0" worked like a charm!  I knew that card was a bit wacky, but I didn't think it would stop the system from booting...

    ok, seems it's the  automatic kernel mode setting (KMS) that causes this see:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … _.28KMS.29
    to get the system to boot, go into the grub menu, edit the boot option (i.e. press 'e') then edit the line that looks like
    kernel /vmlinuz26 root=...
    and add
    radeon.modeset=0
    at the end of it. Then your system should start fine. Now add this to the corresponding line in /boot/grub/menu.lst

  • Screen turns pink and flickers

    Hi everyone,
    I've got a little problem:
    My screen randomly turns pinks and then starts flickering and then a few moments later it stops for a few minutes and then begins the process again.  I have no idea how it began. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
    It would be great if anyone knew how to solve this answer.
    With regards,

  • After download of os 8.2 screen turned pink and blue and flickers

    After downloading os 8.2 background screen turned to pink and blue and flickers.    resetting ipad2 does not solve problem.

    Hey there Harold499,
    I understand that you are experiencing some issues with your iPad screen. I have an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203039
    Since you have already reset the iPad, I would recommend that you start by restoring the iPad, then proceed from there. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • MBP turns off during boot

    Hello!
    My mid-2010 MBP is having some issues. It is no longer under applecare. Last year, when it was still under applecare, I had a problem of the display going black many times per day while doing even simple tasks. I believe they replaced the logic board and everything worked just fine after that.
    However, last night my laptop suddenly went black while viewing a PDF. I tried opening and closing the cover, nothing could get the screen back. At that time, the keyboard was still lit up and the caps lock button still worked (light would turn on and off when pressing).
    I did a hard-reset.
    The laptop screen lit up like it was starting, and then died. Tried again, nothing. So, I waited about five minutes and tried again. The screen lit up, the apple appeared, and then the laptop died.
    After many attempts, I have seen it do many different things. Sometimes it dies before the apple appears. Sometimes it dies after that, but before login screen. Sometimes it dies on the login screen. Usually the longer I wait, the further it will go - however, even when stone cold and not warm at all after waiting hours, it will still only run for ten minutes before it turns off. Sometimes if I can get all the way through startup, it will run for a minute, or five minutes, or ten minutes, but it always fails. Sometimes it turns completely off, but sometimes only the display goes black and the keyboard stays lit. I can even change the keyboard illumination up or down when this happens. Its about a 50/50 chance whether the display will die or the whole laptop will die. Whichever one it is, though, it still requires 10-15 minutes before I can try again, or the machine will just fail halfway through startup.
    I have also tried starting into bootcamp. It worked for five minutes in Windows and then died.
    I have tried booting up while holding shift, but it was taking a very long time for the progress bar at the bottom to fill, and halfway through the laptop shut down.
    As I said at the beginning, the logic board is one year old.

    After sitting for a day, I started up the laptop and made it all the way through login. I let the machine sit without touching anything for about twenty minutes, nothing happened.
    I then opened Chrome, and as soon as I began typing into the search box, the entire computer shut down, and restarted by itself.
    Halfway through restart, the screen turned black. I waited, and after a minute the keyboard lit up so I knew it was at the login screen, though I couldn't see anything. I typed the first letter of my name, pressed enter, typed my password, and pressed enter again.
    I presume the computer is logged in and sitting at the desktop now...I have the laptop set up so that if I move the cursor to one corner, it puts the display to sleep. When I do this with the track pad, I can see the keyboard lights dim, then light back up again when I move the cursor back out of the corner.
    Anyone have any suggestions? How can I get my screen back?

  • Satellite P300 with screen turning pink

    Hi
    My Satellite P300 is model PSPCCA-OC6O1Y. The problem I have is a lot of pink on the screen. This has been reoccuring over the last week with this morning the worst. Presently I have two distinct pink pencil lines running down the screen just right of middle, and I also have many other random pink pixles jumping all over the place.
    Earlier today what would normally be white on the screen is pink and moving which made it almost impossible to see the screen and use the machine. A shut down and restart has bought it back to a useable position, although the problem has not gone away. On restart no sign of pink on the screen during the normal bootup - no sign of pink on the log in page and pink started as soon as either the browser or email apps were activated. It does go across all programs - I cannot isolate it to any one program, so I suspect it is not a program specific issue.
    I am not a techie, just a user, so if the reply can be in simple to understand language that would be appreciated. The machine is under warranty, however I am trying to avoid downtime for repair which is critical if possible.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Fletch,
    Did you connect an external monitor to your notebook? With this external device you can identify the reason of this issue. That means if the external monitor works properly, it seems to be related to the internal display that must be changed.
    As Jeka-IL wrote, contact nearest authorized service provider in your country. The guys will try to help you and if your notebook is under warranty, the repair is for free.

  • Screen turned pink

    the monitor of my laptop has turned pink. I can see the pages and videos and everything but not in the normal resolution, its as if there is a transparent pink curtain is placed on the monitor. i hav recently put a new 1tb HD while previously it was installed with 500gb HD, which crashed, so the replacement was done. has this by any chance affected the display?

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-2226tu Notebook and issues with the pink screen displaying after a HDD repair. Here is a link to a document that will help you troubleshoot the image on screen flickers, has lines or distorted colors. Have you connected a monitor to the Notebook to check if it happens there as well?If this does not display on the Monitor it could be a connection issue with the LCD screen. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

  • 5-day old iPad screen turns Pink & more

    Hi,
    I've just bought 2 iPads 3G, 64GB while on a trip to London, UK. I now came back to my country and one of the iPad just turned pink.
    Because of the bulk, I discarded the iPad packaging/boxes before I flew back, and wonder if I can return the defective iPad without its box?!
    Any thoughts on this is greatly welcomed!
    (To be honest, I would expect a working product when it cost 700 GBP, and has an Apple logo...)
    Cheers,
    Z0A2010

    As far as I'm aware the warranty is worldwide. Whilst in the Apple store in Regent Street here in London several times recently I've seen a lot of foreigners buying iPads which I doubt would be the case if the warranty was country specific. I think the only exception when it comes to Apple products is the iPhone which has a warranty only valid in the country of origin.
