Title:
Xorg Segfault on boot of latest kernel ( ATI drivers )
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Came to work today to be greeted by the classic gray screen with the
"X" cursor.
I did a hard reboot, as none of the typical key combos were working.
On reboot, I was given the message "plymouth main process (###) killed
by SEGV signal 1
This booted me into a root terminal.
Exploring the logs I found a number of messages in multiple logs
related to an Xorg segfault ( kern.log, messages, Xorg.failsafe.log,
syslog)
After reading a related bug item, I tried removing quiet splash from
the boot config, but this did not work either. It looked like
everything booted fine, but I only saw a black screen. The mouse was
not present and the system did not seem to respond to key presses.
Also was not given a login screen.
My next step was to boot to a previous kernel, which worked.
