That the problem now happens already on xorg startup suggests what is happening is different from before. I think what is most efficient for all of us would be if you report this as a new bug once you are able to get the logs. That way we may skip the more than 30 comments that are now more or less obsolete when handling your problem.
You should be able to get logs even with a LiveCD if you have another computer to ssh from and install openssh-server. If you have a USB stick with 2 GB or more you may use that as a LiveUSB and enable persistent storage, so that log files (and other files) will be kept when rebooting. System -> Administation -> USB Startup Disk Creator lets you do this on an installed Ubuntu system. I have a separate Karmic partition, which also works (except that it got corrupted this week when I was testing out some xorg-edgers stuff - but that might be unrelated). -- [i830] black screen after intrepid login intel graphics unless 3d/compiz disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
