I have just done a fresh Jaunty reinstall on one of the two systems, and installed all updates. The issue is gone now.
I do wonder how it might get triggered, though. Once a system develops this issue, is appears to be irreparable (at least to the best of my knowledge), short of a fresh reinstall. -- [Intrepid, Jaunty] Boot process switches from graphical to character mode midstream https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480350 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
