I have a Gigabyte motherboard with integrated AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4200:

And I'm using a Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8 GHz CPU with 8GB of DDR3:

With Trisquel 5.0 (and now 5.5), when I shutdown or restart, about half
the time, I get an unending series of errors which don't stop. It refers
to something about a radeon memory allocation error, and just repeats
forever. The other half it does that for about 5x to 20x screen pages,
and then reboots like normal.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Best regards,

I noticed similar end behavior (shutdown not completing) when using Trisquel 5.5 on my Gateway LT4004u. I don't know that machine's specs off of the top of my head, but I will post them later tonight.
I will also try to track down what is causing this behaviour for me and post that as well.

Does this work for you guys? http://trisquel.info/en/issues/5285#comment-20187

I used to have similar issue.

Besides that, you could try adding the nomodeset kernel parameter to /etc/default/grub, i.e. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"

Whoa dude you must have something weird going on with your system because that page (rrhistorical) is not at all what he linked. He linked to a trisquel bug page.

My fault, that's the link I originally erroneously pasted.

Sorry for the hassle. I guess I should read what I write... :)

I'm seeing this thread and responding to it on the email list, not the
forum. He must've edited it after the initial posting.

That makes sense. I thought you were getting man in the middle attacked or something.

LOL! Well, that's not to say I'm not. :-) But, probably less likely
that I am. :-)

Of course, now I cannot replicate the issue.
