This bug just had me locked out of my workstation for more than 30
minutes. I couldn't get into recovery mode and I couldn't get to a
terminal (F1-F6). In the end I mashed ESC, got a root prompt before X
started, and managed to type
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
quickly enough that when X leapt in it
Why is this marked as low? It happens quite often when you have a
strange setup (vmware and native for example) and it leaves your system
completely unusable... This is a clear regression from Jaunty and a very
very anyoing bug

Sorry srg84, it looks like one of the features of launchpad is that you
can't edit your posts after so many minutes. I didn't realize that
replying through email would post your address and all that other stuff
--again, sorry about that.

karmic gdm restarts X infinitely when video driver
@srg84
Could you please be a bit more specific about what to temporarily change in the
/usr/sbin/gdm line? Also, how were you able to edit that when X keeps
restarting. I ask because I couldn't even log in when I had this problem.

klemperal: Select one of the recovery kernel options at the grub boot
menu, at the next menu select the root shell, then run telinit 3.
You'll get a console login.

You could also boot one of the install disks.
And I would guess that srg84 was suggesting removing the /usr/sbin/gdm
line, I haven't even looked at this file.

A workaround for this bug is editing /etc/X11/default-display-manager and
temporaly change the line /usr/sbin/gdm.
Flickering stops and you can login, remember to edit the file again.

Carl: You should open a bug for the nvidia driver failing to install
properly. This bug is for X's poor behavior under such circumstances.

I'm getting this too. My nvidia driver failed to load, my fault, but
the failure mode is terrible.
Previous releases would fall back to a low resolution driver / X server,
probably using vesa, and then ask you if you wanted to reconfigure your
video. And if you said no it would let you just use
I'm opening an upstart task on this bug; I think init is supposed to
have rate limiting in place to prevent jobs from respawning endlessly, I
don't know why it's not taking effect here.

Dkms failing to build a module is not so rare occurrence, so it would be
nice if this issue was addressed somehow.
Earlier in Ubuntu, when a display driver failed to work, a failsafe mode
was entered. This would still be useful.

noticed this when installing a kernel update, so it doesnt just affect failing
drivers
1. have nvidia dkms installed on kernel
2. install a kernel update
3. reboot
4. dkms hasnt build nvidia module on kernel but...
5 gdm restarts repeatedly since X will fail because dkms hasnt finished
building

X should just fail miserably if it can't find the specified driver, no?

This bug is about the (mis)behavior of gdm when X has already failed,
with no stipulation as to what caused X to fail in the first place. So
your bug is not really related.
