Hi Vikram, I thought I'd made it clear in my description and forum thread, but I guess not.
This behavior applies to an upgrade install from Intrepid to Karmic. The only way to check if it exists in Lucid is to do an upgrade from Karmic to Lucid, which I plan to do when Lucid is released, but not until then. As is the case with MANY of ubuntu's problems, the behavior doesn't happen when booting from live disks - including Karmic live disks. It happens immediately after log in when I use my normal user account. It does NOT happen immediately after login when I use a clean test user account, but it DOES happen with a test account when switching the screen via Fn-F7, and when docking / undocking, playing video, etc., as described in my forum post. I do understand the reasoning behind backporting bugfixes. On the other hand, my sad little two-post forum thread about this is the TOP HIT out of over 1400 when you google "ubuntu karmic thinkpad X40." When I filed the bug against Karmic, I included all the necessary attachments. I don't believe a bug should become "incomplete" just because everyone ignored it so long that it might have been fixed in a different release. -- Invisible Pointer at boot - fixed by locking / unlocking screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475665 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
