** Description changed: Binary package hint: gdm using the LiveCD of Wednesday 3/31/2010, Thursday's or Friday's, the machine does not display anything. The screen goes blank/black. Similar, if machine that was working, is updated with the lastest and greatest packages. The grub menu comes up, then monitor goes blank/black. In the latter case, I can still ssh to the machine. This was in the /var/log/syslog, but not sure if it has any meaning: Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 acpid: client 1784[0:0] has disconnected Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 acpid: client connected from 1958[0:0] Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 acpid: 1 client rule loaded Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 gdm-binary[875]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.269835 seconds Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 gdm-simple-slave[2107]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 acpid: client 1958[0:0] has disconnected Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 acpid: client connected from 2114[0:0] Apr 2 11:12:52 bee60 acpid: 1 client rule loaded Apr 2 11:12:53 bee60 gdm-binary[875]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.291561 seconds Apr 2 11:12:53 bee60 gdm-binary[875]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors Apr 2 11:12:53 bee60 init: gdm main process (875) terminated with status 1 Apr 2 11:12:53 bee60 acpid: client 2114[0:0] has disconnected Apr 2 11:12:53 bee60 acpid: client connected from 2137[0:0] + --- + Architecture: amd64 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 + DkmsStatus: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha amd64 (20100313.1) + MachineType: Dell Inc.
