[ 9.718090] fb: conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs VESA VGA - removing gen I was not able to start a tty trying Ctrl>Alt>F3 so I rebooted and this time I replaced the boot parameter "single" with "text" thinking it may provide additional info but then it just booted to the desktop. I imagine that's saying something about "framebuffer" and I do have Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436936 Title: gdm upstart job checks /proc/cmdline for single user mode, won't start on post-boot runlevel change -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
