Short Story: Kernel 2.6.32-11.15 is a kernel that causes the problem on my LucidLynx machine with all updated packages. Kernel 2.6.32-10.14 is a kernel that boots fine on my LucidLynx machine with all updated packages.
Attached is the Xorg.0.log file from booting with the latest 2.6.32-21.32 kernel with "nomodeset" and with ModeDebug. SideNote: the Beta 1 LiveCD boots fine on my machine, and that release used kernel 2.6.32-16.25 (so that part doesn't make sense to me, since that kernel as of today does NOT work, but I'll let you deal with this conflicting information. (Unless the Beta 1 LiveCD used "nomodeset" to boot up and Betat2 LiveCD did not?)) Longer story: I did this testing today: 2.6.32-7.10 Boots fine. 2.6.32-10.14 Boots fine. (2 tests) 2.6.32-11.15 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" (2 tests) 2.6.32-12.16 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-12.17 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-14.20 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-16.25 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-16.25 in the form of the Beta1 LiveCD boots fine. <-- does this make sense? 2.6.32-17.26 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-18.27 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-19.28 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-20.29 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" 2.6.32-21.32 Fails but works fine with "nomodeset" The infromation in the previous posting had a syntax error, the word Device needed quotes, as in: Section "Device" and thank you again for your time on this. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log_nomodeset_ModeDebug" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/46691474/Xorg.0.log_nomodeset_ModeDebug -- 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
