different boot failure today, never made it to the low graphics mode screen. It stopped with the following text on the screen: process 422: arguments to dbus_server_disconnect() were incorrect, assertion old_refcount 0 failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-server.c line 786. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. process 422: arguments to dbus_server_unref() were incorrect, assertion old_refcount 0 failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-server.c line 749. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. I found this in the boot.log Nice of D-Bus library to blame something else, but not bother to name that something else. -- 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/1071101 Title: nearly every other boot I get Low Graphics Mode message.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1071101] Re: nearly every other boot I get Low Graphics Mode message.
I have stripped out the timestamps so I could do a diff of the two log files (there is probably a way to skip the first n charactors of each line in diff, but I did not see it in a quick look at the docs). Attached is a diff of Xorg.0.log files between a good boot, and a boot where the graphics dropped into low graphics mode. The first thing in the log that shows an error is the setversion 1.4 failed. Things go south from there. What is setversion? What is it trying to do? Why would it fail? ** Attachment added: Diff of good boot log bad boot log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1071101/+attachment/3423152/+files/good_vs_bad_diff -- 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/1071101 Title: nearly every other boot I get Low Graphics Mode message.

Text of the error message: The system is running in low-graphics mode Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself. Usually before I get the error window, it switches to a text screen where log information is displayed. Near the end of the log are a bunch of [stopping] (or something to that effect) messages these come after a bunch of [starting] messages Both types have an indication of success on the right end of the line. there are no indications of failure. At least twice after rebooting, when I log in, I get a message about xorg crashing (which I allowed it to report). The notify has been crashing with some regularity as well. -- 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/1071101 Title: nearly every other boot I get Low Graphics Mode message.
