** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg This is new to Karmic. I have not had this problem before. I first tried to go into a virtual console using Alt+F1 etc. The system froze. It could not be contacted by another machine on the network. I reformatted twice and performed a clean install. After a few successful boots, X server would stop loading. The screen would go blank and the system would freeze leaving no option but to do a hard reboot. I was able to do a startx from a recovery console (by getting into it using the shift key during the bootloader stage). The attached Xorg.0.log.old captures the problem when the X server gives up. After some attempts, it may randomly decide to load up again. No reason that I can make out I have experienced some screen freezes in jaunty (32 bit *not* 64-bit). I have never experienced this with Hardy *ever*, in which I installed the proprietary fglrx drivers. But Karmic has been unstable in this respect from Day 1. I have no choice but to go back to jaunty, or look for another distribution or hope that someone advises me how to get around this, since work is severely affected. I am also attaching a gdm log of today just in case it helps.
