Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
When starting the normal way, I never get the gdm screen, as X seems wrongly
launched. Screen stays black without cursor nor alphnumeric characters. No
activity seems present on hard disk. Leaving the system in this state many
minutes don't produce changes at all. Every thing seems blocked.
But when starting with the same kernel but using recovery grub entry, getting
the recovery menu and selecting 'root command line' (third menu line), I get
the root single user command line, where I type 'telinit 5' and then every
thing works properly: X starts correctly, gdm open the login window and I can
get into the system as usual.
It seems to me that the init process does not start X the same way as 'single
user+telinit 5', and it fails on this machine.
On all other 8 computer I manage, there is no such problem using the same
kernel and normal start procedure. This bug occurs only with this particular
hardware. In all computers I use the same Ubuntu 8.04.2 with all packages up to
date.
Additionaly, in this computer I don't have Opengl direct support as states
'glxinfo' . My graphic subsystem is therefore poorly recognized.

Recovery start+telinit 5 is the only way to start correctly
