Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
If for any reason xorg fails to start, you get caught in a loop as gdm
repeatedly tried to start xorg
At some point it should fall back to a console to allow a fix or even have some
console based menu
to allow none technical people to select possible solutions - some kind of
"safe mode" xorg config would
be useful...
As it stand I was forced to boot from cd and manually mount and fix the
problem boot media
How on earth is a non technical Ubuntu user supposed to deal with xorg
problems?
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
--
no fallback for failing xorg
