Sounds right. I just assumed that there wasn't any users of releases < Trusty any more, as all those releases are EOL. But actually there may still be, indeed.
Bug should stay Confirmed until Trusty itself is EOL. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132736 Title: Xorg fails to start after installing the Hardware Enablement Stack due to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in xorg-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in xorg-lts-vivid package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Bug: The bug happens whenever the remaining configuration files of the original X stack is removed, ie purging. It does not happen for users who do not explicitly remove those. Workaround: For example, if upgraded 14.04 LTS to the 14.04.2 HWE stack (=14.10/utopic): sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-lts-utopic This restores the symlink /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg --- After installing the hardware enablement stack on precise by running: sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal Xorg fail to start. There is no error message or anything, just a black screen. Switching to a vt i possible and lightdm/x-0.log shows that a symlink is missing: X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting. I updates two computers running precise x86_64 and both had the problem. Just recreating the symlink fixes the problem and then precise runs perfectly fine with the new stack (in fact, it's more stable so far).
