I'm also seeing this in ubuntu 12.04. As a workaround, I added a "sleep 5" to the top of the "script" section in /etc/init/gdm.conf and /etc/init/lightdm.conf
Like other posters on duplicate bugs, according to /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg, X bombs out a bit under 5 seconds after boot (after the kernel module starts loading), and the kernel module finishes loading at a bit under 6 seconds. It looks like X needs to wait for the kernel module to come up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865111 Title: X quits, instead of waiting for kernel module to load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/865111/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
