Thanks Robbie. This problem shows up more often on faster systems. every quad phenom/nvidia box I have put together does it. all quad opteron servers (NO GUI) does it regardless of video card. Sometimes on the servers bind9 will fail. ddclient also fails vboxdrv also fails to start on boot and sometimes the login screen fails to show up
Some slower intel boxes with intel video cards do it. on some systems with GeForce fx5200 you get a black screen and login fails to load sometimes while other times you get a console login but X fails to load. on some systems with integrated intel 845G same problem with X not starting and login on console not starting sometimes while other times login starts at the console. list of services known not to start because of this problem on various machines: cups X bind9 vboxdrv console login ddclient. nmbd just about any other 3rd party service. This problem did NOT show up on any boxes I setup during the Karmic release. It does not matter whether the runlevel command shows N 2 or (unknown) I have had services fail to start on regardless of the output of the runlevel command. Usually shows N 2 -- system services not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 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
