Intel poulsbo drivers. Unfortunately, also only sudo kdm start works.

[Bug 434361] Re: gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge
Today I reinstalled all my latest kernel packages (2.6.31-10). I did this just to make sure it wasn't broken somehow. You see, everytime x started, I did get a crash report informing of a serious kernel issue and suggesting a restart. After that my Karmic started to behave like it should: booting: grub (hidden menu) - xsplash - gdm - xsplash - x shutting down: usplash - power down.

[Bug 434361] Re: gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge
Here I can't reproduce it anymore. I know for sure that this bug is usplash related. I found that workaround few days ago, I just boot the system without 'splash' argument, and all works just fine. Now usplash is loaded from initrd, so maybe a kernel update fixed that. -- gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 434361] Re: gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge
Mike, I do have a NVidia video card, but please note that I did also try booting without restricted NVidia drivers, using only the community nv-driver and the problem did not go away. So I do not think it is a dkms issue. But reinstalling all kernel packages did fix it for me. Also the warnings about having serious kernel issue disappeared. Obviously my problem had something to do with the kernel.

[Bug 434361] Re: gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge
My Karmic Ubuntu 64-bit system seems to be affected by this one too. For me this happens on every boot. It started on 22 September after the updates. Before that I could always enter xsplash. Now my Karmic never enters xsplash. Instead after the grub I always get usplash, with a new look as from today. I do not have cryptsetup installed. I have tested this with Karmics nv-driver and also with NVidias 185 and 190 drivers. My videocard is GTX285. Now, after usplash the screen stays black. If I hit any key, I can then see tty1 and login the prompt. From there I can get to xsplash (and gdm and x) by logging in and typing sudo restart gdm or by changing to tty7 (ctrl+alt+F7), when the xsplash and gdm and finally x start automatically. But yes something goes wrong when booting and the system is set to tty1. -- gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 434361] Re: gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge
I have very interesting results. I found out that in fact, gdm doesn't 'fail to start' in fact it starts just fine. What happens is that somebody switches console to VT1. Then if I switch back to VT7, gdm starts its work, and in few seconds I see login windows. -- gdm sometimes fails to start after new upstart merge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
