Thank you. Adding "nomodeset" to the linux boot line via editing GRUB, worked 3 out of 3 boots. That is excellent. Not using "nomodeset" failed 4 out of 4 times. (just making sure I the problem still exists)
Aside: when I initially moved the machine that I just tested from its directly attached monitor/keyboard/mouse to my cube with the 4-way TRENDnet KVM, it actually booted up fine for the first time. Then failed on subsequent times as expected. I may have seen that phenomena on other occasions. I felt like mentioning it may be important. Also, when the first problem occurred, and I may have said this way above, I think, I booted up the 2 previous kernels that were available to me on the GRUB menu and those failed as well. That's why I always thought it wasn't a kernel problem, but I know nothing about all of this and who knows what I did so long ago. I will grab the BETA1 kernel, if possible, since I know the BETA1 LiveCD works and see if the older kernel amongst all the newer packages works or not. -- gdm fails to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554023 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
