This is no surprise...but I am able to get xorg to work by removing the package xserver-xorg-video-vmware (Ubuntu's video driver for VMware guests). It seems that the problem may be specific to the package xserver-xorg-video-vmware. Of course, with the generic driver X11 is extremely slow.
(Unfortunately, even after xserver-xorg-video-vmware is removed, VMware Tools will still not attempt to install its version of the driver, because it expects Ubuntu to provide it.) -- X11 (xorg) fails to start in natty on vmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676759 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
