Public bug reported:
I had a dist-upgrade to feisty a few days ago, and today update-manager
asked me to do another upgrade in order to be able to install more
updates and I agreed. Upgrade went all right and I was asked to
reboot... but after reboot, the splash-screen shows up and when X is
about to be started I get a blue screen with lots of funny signs and the
message:
"Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that is
not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose
the problem?"
I choose to view the output and it says:
-some version info (X Window System 7.2.0 as of 2007/01/22, kernel
2.6.20-9-386#2)
-some more info
-(WW) fglrx: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:1) found
FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx (EE) fglrx(0): GART is not
initialized, disabling DRI
-some errors stating /dev/wacom cannot be opened, no such file or directory
-Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
after that I can view "detailled output" that states basically the same
in a more lengthy manner. after that I am informed that X server will be
disabled and I should restart it after "(some completely broken text
telling something about gdm config)".
after that I am taken to a screen
*Starting [list of things started]
*Checing battery state
*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
I get cursor but I cannot enter any commands...
