I have just reproduced this bug in ubuntu jaunty alpha 6. I will check if the system lock also happens in xubuntu, to see if not having compiz does indeed provide a workaround. -- jaunty alpha 4 live cd hangs on macbook when starting gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329039 You received this

The Xubuntu jaunty alpha 6 live cd boots without problems. This seems to confirm John Dong's statement that compiz is causing the hardlocks. -- jaunty alpha 4 live cd hangs on macbook when starting gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329039 You received this bug notification because you are a m

When booting verbosely, the text scrolls by too fast to read. I can only tell that no errors are reported after "starting gnome display manager...". Shortly thereafter the login screen appears and after automatically logging in and hearing the ubuntu startup sound, the system freezes. If you really

Some additional info: I can confirm compiz is causing the lockup. I installed compiz under the xubuntu jaunty live cd. When I ran "compiz --replace" compiz gave the usual "Checking for ..." output, followed by the error: /usr/bin/compiz: 455: /usr/local/bin/compiz: not found exec: 455: /usr/bin/

Perhaps an alternative to the "fake compiz" script is to edit ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/%gconf.xml and replace "compiz" by "metacity" (occurs twice, once as default and once as current window manager). -- [i945] jaunty alpha 4 live cd hangs on macbook when starting gn

I can confirm this on my macbook 1,1 with an intel GMA950. X broke after some update: I also had only stripes on the screen and this even affected all tty consoles. I could only boot back into a console by first chrooting from a live CD and removing kdm. The problem seems indeed xorg/driver related

Just a follow-up, for those who are interested. The problem was fixed in the release version of Jaunty, but I could reproduce the exact same lock-up be enabling UXA video acceleration in my xorg.conf.

I have a similar problem. After upgrading my ubuntu 11.04 to kernel 2.6.38-10, the nvidia-current driver stopped working. I upgraded my system with the normal software updates. I had to remove the driver (with jockey, over ssh) to get my display back. Before that I could not even get into a tt
