Confirming this bug report. There should be enough information for the
developers to work this issue.
Changed the summary to reflect correct description; added WorkAround to
description.
Thanks for helping to improve Intrepid_Ibex.
** Summary changed:
- Intrepid Alpha 4 Gnome freezes Thinkpad R31
+ Intrepid Gnome freezes Thinkpad R31
** Description changed:
Gnome on Intrepid Alpha 4 freezes IBM Thinkpad R31
- Alpha 3 Gnome Ubuntu ran O.K. (for an Alpha)
- Alpha 4 KDE runs O.K.
- Alpha 4 Xubuntu runs O.K.
Alpha 4 CD Live boots until brown screen with cursor, then locks up
about the time Gnome should load the background. Keyboard dead, can't
do anything, display is either brown with cursor or black with cursor.
Installed Alpha 3 20080812 and put on 234 updates. Fails the same way
as 20080818 Alpha 4.
Installed Alpha 3 and put on 217 updates, omitting 17 Gnome updates.
Runs O.K. (as I enter this bug).
Conclusion (after lots of installs and trying different updates) Gnome
updates cause Ubuntu fail on Thinkpad R31.
Let me know if I can try anything or look up any logs. I spent quite a
while around /var/log and didn't see anything useful. Method is to
install Alpha 3, put on 234 updates (takes quite a while), re-boot which
fails, then bring up CD Live and try to find some evidence left on the
hard drive.....
Thanks, Jerry

+ WORKAROUND:
+ get CD Live to boot by watching for when X windows initiated, quick do a
couple
+ Ctr+Alt+F1 for command line, then
+ sudo apt-get remove compiz
+ sudo apt-get remove compiz-core
+ Ctrl+Alt+F7 to continue.
+
+ On install, check to see if it failed. It did. Boot in rescue mode
+ select root command line
+ sudo apt-get remove comp;iz
+ sudo apt-get remove compiz-core
+ exit
+ resume
+ then boots to Gnome desktop. After removal, then the install just normally
boots to desktop O.K.
