Hmm, this may have been fixed now in the upcoming 14.04.3 LTS HWE upgrade, can anyone confirm?
That is, after purging the configuration files of -utopic packages, the link /etc/X11/X is removed but system continues to work. I upgraded by temporarily enabling trusty-proposed updates and sudo apt install --install-recommends libgles2-mesa-lts-vivid libglapi-mesa-lts- vivid xserver-xorg-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-vivid libegl1-mesa-lts- vivid libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid:i386 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132736 Title: Xorg fails to start after installing the hardware enablement stack on precise due to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1132736/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
