It seems to be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/431166 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/464591 - but I don't think it's a duplicate, since none of them mention the "Failed to get channel info for channel 140" error message...
I tried booting into kernel .28 (instead of .31), and that worked. I then changed xorg.conf from nvidia driver to nv driver, and booted into .31 - that worked! But using the Proprietary Drivers dialog to activate NVidia didn't seem to work (it would say downloading and installing, but afterwards still show it as inactive - even if xorg.conf had been updated to use the nvidia driver). Rebooting .31 with the nvidia driver gave the same problem as described above. So, while it clearly is related to xorg and nvidia, I need suggestions to get any closer to a solution... ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => xorg-server (Ubuntu) -- iwl3945 "Failed to get channel info for channel 140" after upgrade to karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/467236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
