Just to follow up. I repeated the test with slightly different starting conditions.
Attempting a test upgrade from kubuntu hardy kde4 to intrepid. This test was performed in a completely clean fully up to date kubuntu virtual machine in virtualbox. This machine had the kde-members kde4 ppa enabled and was fully up to date This error was reproducible in 2 seperate tests. I started the upgrade by running kdesu adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel. Update-manager showed a message saying it had disabled some third part repos, presumably the ppa. The upgrade proceeded successfully to the point where I was prompted to restart the machine. When I did this the machine booted as expected. Then displayed the error shown in the attached screenshot. When I hit ok on that messagebox I was left at a text terminal. I was able to login successfully. I ran sudo startx from the prompt. X tries to start and fails with the error in the second screenshot. I have attached Xorg.0.log as well as full upgrade logs just in case they provide any useful information the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA was 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter [80ee:beef] ** Attachment added: "error_message.jpg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17698282/error_message.jpg -- Kubuntu hardy-kde4 -> intrepid upgrade test X server fails to start after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
