Two friends of mine recently had the same problem post-upgrade. I'm beginning to think this is something that needs to be filed as a bug. It seemed for them that vital input/graphics drivers where not brought across in an upgrade. Your error log says X can't find a driver to match your graphics card. The fix that worked for both of them was the following (each command is one line, prefixed by "$" representing your command prompt). I've used "ubuntu-desktop" in the following. Replace with xubuntu-desktop/kubuntu-desktop as you require. ******************************************************** $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-input-all -y $ sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ******************************************************** What all of that does is ensure that Xorg, (X|K)Ubuntu-Desktop and all the necessary drivers are installed. Then it moves your config to the side and applies the new 1.5/7.4 Xorg ultra-minimalist config that does a lot of autodetection. (My xorg.conf is 11 lines, and works perfectly on my Toshiba laptop). Give it a whirl and see how you go. -Dan -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
