I have been running relatively stable Xubuntu AMD64 Jaunty with compiz
etc... Today I realized there was a number of updates in my update-
manager... I installed them all and upon reboot gdm complained that the
current greeter was corrupt/unavailable. Only way for me to login in is
to edit the gdm conf file and set auto-login to enabled. That lets me
get logged-into my xfce session but upon boot everything seems fine at
first.. the mouse changes to my set icon theme and then eveything turns
into garbled random collage of pictures, mouse reacts to input
(moves)... but everything else is locked up... like the xserver is
freezing, however I really have no clue. To get my computer temporarily
working... I dropped down CTRL-ALT-1 to CLI.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
(gives me a vanila xorg.conf and backups the one nvidia created)
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
Then I able to login and use my computer... if I try reconfigure the
xorg with sudo nvidia-xconfig it leads me back to my initial problem.
I have tried reinstalling nvidia*, gdm, xfdesktop4, xfce4
ctrl-alt-delete which should take me to gdmgreeter screen of course does
not work.
just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this... if i should wait
out for an update or just reinstall. wouldnt be so bad I can easily
backup my home partition.
I not sure what logs I should look into for necessary debug info... but
I can reproduce it easily so if you let me know I will post up any log
output.
