Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Not sure whether it applies to xorg or rather some installation
scripts...
After upgrade from Feisty to Hardy, X takes very long to startup after
boot (user just sees the black screen with the last boot messages, ended
with "No resume image, doing normal boot...", and already starts to
thing something is broken). Logging out (or doing a reboot) brings X to
a crash:
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x7e) [0x80c780e]
1: [0xb7fa5420]
2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so(_nv001216X+0xe5) [0xb71b2711]
3: [0x1]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
I suspected something with the display managers, and in fact I found:
The upgrade added gdm to the rc.* folders (I use KDE). Checking inside
the /etc/init.d/gdm script I found:
# To start gdm even if it is not the default display manager, change
# HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER to "false."
HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER=true
Maybe that explains at least the long startup time? What is to be done:
a) changing that line in /etc/init.d/gdm to "...=false"
b) removing the links to gdm from the /etc/rc.?/ folders?
Advice welcome!
1) System information:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
2) last updated yesterday - whatever package is guilty :)
3) starting X immediately / shutdown X without error
4) waiting at the black screen, such confusing the user ;) / Crashing
with above error message
In case it matters: Update was done via the update-manager (as described
in the Wiki). I updated 2 machines this way - only one is affected by
described bug. Both have NVidia graphics.
