[Bug 491483] Re: Since failsave-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error)
The solution by Philip at post 51 with modifications suggested by Steve at post 54 worked for me (latest updates, 2.6.31-16 kernel). I'm using Kubuntu Karmic Netbook on an Acer Aspire One netbook and I couldn't even see a low graphics mode: there were only random pixels as if I was trying to set a bigger resolution than the one supported by the screen. -- Since failsave-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used.

So whats the final solution? Philip Muskovac? Post #51 Michael Ummels ? Post #52 Steve Langasek? Post #54 As per Kevin Christmas at Post #55 the fix mentioned are not working. Lets arrive to conclusion for this issue. ** Summary changed: - Since failsave-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error) + Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used.

[Bug 491483] Re: Since failsave-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg Using Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.10 on Toshiba Laptop with ATI radeon HD 3650 Today morning I did updated the system with updates available. Following is the recent log entry in the Software update module in KDE. Installed: ureadahead, ureadahead Updated: x11-common, sreadahead, xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg-input-all, xserver-xorg, xorg, x11-common, sreadahead, xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg-input-all, xserver-xorg, xorg After this update I get Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode error at the boot time and If I press cancel it boots me upto the normal login screen. How to get rid of the this error? Also I loose the com positioning (desktop effects), I need to manually resume the same. (ALT+SHIFT+F12). Please resolve urgently. Thanks, Manish Edit: check this post as well for various experience on this particular issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343261 + + Edit: this is caused by failsave-x starting if kdm is used and gdm is disabed since gdm will fail with exit status !=0 and thus triggering failsave-x. So this affects all users that use kdm while having gdm installed as well and kdm starting slower than failsave-x (they both race to start X first). + To fix this make sure that failsave-x checks that gdm is enabled before assuming that X is broken. -- Since failsave-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 491483] Re: Since failsave-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used
I think this is the wrong fix - the gdm job shouldn't exit non-zero when
it's configured to not run, it should instead stop cleanly using '|| {
stop; exit 0; }'.
