Possible solution: I may have found a fix to this problem - in /etc/rc2.d, I changed the symlink S13gdm to S90gdm to delay startup of gdm. ( S90gdm -> ../init.d/gdm)
I have only rebooted once since changing this, so more testing is necessary. Some concerns are that whatever the race condition is WITH may not be something started at the same runlevel, and that reordering gdm startup in this manner may cause a problem with other daemons started at this runlevel. This problem did not occur in starting from the CD most likely because the slow speed of loading from the CD delayed gdm startup more than sufficiently. Hopefully this will also fix the old occasional low-resolution startup with this motherboard. (I have 2 systems with this kind of motherboard, and I'll try this solution on the other one, too - still running 8.04.1 on that one). I'll revisit this if any further problems occur of this nature, and also if the problem seems to be solved by this hack. -- [intrepid] X server fails to start properly on Jetway https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297927 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
