1. Alpha 4 CD Live boots to the point that the desktop should load then all activity stops and nothing on the keyboard works. I've downloaded about three different daily builds of Alpha 4 Ubuntu with the same result. The CD's do run on my Compaq and my Via motherboard systems. When CD Live stops, of course, can't read any files or logs or anything else since the keyboard is dead except for power off. Note the screen background is either black or brown, and the cursor may move or not. The desktop background never loads.
2. Alpha 3 runs O.K (for an alpha). I've installed it several times. Upgrade everything results in 1. above. I've done that several times. This Thinkpad has run Dapper, Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy, Hardy, and Intrepid Alpha 3. 3. Alpha 3, upgrade everything else except Gnome 2, which is to say at Alpha 4 level for everything but Gnome 2, runs O.K. (for an alpha). I've done this twice. 4. Add just the upgrade for Gnome 2, nothing else, results in 1. above. 5. Alpha 4 CD Live Xubuntu runs O.K. for an Alpha. Kubuntu Alpha 4 runs O.K. for an alpha. No Gnome 2, no problem. 5. I'm dual booted from an Alpha 4 image for everything but Gnome 2 as I enter this comment. Browsing the other install, the one that stops when the Gnome desktop should load, the end of .xsession-errors follows. Looks to me like X found the desktop, which then never appears on the screen: ** (x-session-manager:5263): DEBUG: GsmManager: Looking for: gnome-settings-daemon.desktop ** (x-session-manager:5263): DEBUG: GsmManager: Found in: /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop ** (x-session-manager:5263): DEBUG: GsmAutostartApp: setting desktop filename to /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop ** (x-session-manager:5263): DEBUG: GsmManager: read gnome-settings-daemon.desktop ** (x-session-manager:5263): DEBUG: GsmStore: Adding object id /org/gnome/SessionManager/App1 to store ** (x-session-manager:5263): DEBUG: GsmManager: Looking for: gnome-wm.desktop ** (x-session-manager:5263): DEBUG: GsmManager: Found in: /usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-wm.desktop Let me know if I can look for anything else.
