Alberto, thank you for your reply. Did what you suggested - problem stays the same. But now I can state more clearly it *must* have to do with X: It runs through the init scripts normally, and right after the "battery check" (which is told to be [OK]) it stalls for about 20..30 seconds. Next message then is "Starting KDE".
What I meanwhile also did: Reset the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use "nv", rebooted. Removed the nvidia-glx using dpkg. Invoked jockey, which installed nvidia-glx-new (ah - different package). Rebooted - problem remained. Checking /etc/X11/xorg.conf - Ooops? Half of the stuff was missing (Keyboard etc.), so Xorg had to probe for most of it! Fixed that up and booted again, this time with your changes to grub. Problem still remained. I checked the Xorg.0.log and saw it still probed for the nvidia card and some other things - only a few, but it could be that probing the card alone ate most of the time. Is there something wrong with my xorg.conf? ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf of the last boot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16284059/xorg.conf -- X crashes on logout - takes long to come up on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250891 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
