Public bug reported:
Basically, X doesn't load on boot-up of the live CD. I'm running a
Packard Bell laptop, with a ATI Radeon 200M graphics card, and a R61 ATI
wireless adapter.
After checking Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5 for defects, I loaded the live CD by simply
pressing enter on "Start or install Ubuntu".
The Ubuntu splash screen shows as is normal in feisty. After a while, the
screen changes to what I call terminal mode, you know, where what is being
loaded is displayed with an [OK] signal after each statement. The only abnormal
things I noticed were errors when loading the network, and errors when loading
cups. When you get to the point of loading GDM, the screen simply goes blank.
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesn't do anything.
If, I choose "Start or install Ubuntu in safe graphics mode", the messages get
a bit further than loading GDM. The screen goes blank, then returns to the
terminal, several times. Finally, still in what I call terminal mode, a message
box says X failed to load, and asks whether I would like to view more details.
I can do so if wish, by pressing enter on Yes. Otherwise, I return to the
terminal, similar to what you get when you press Ctrl-Alt-F2.
Like I said, I'm running a laptop, with a ATI Radeon 200M graphics card, and a
R61 ATI wireless adapter. If I load the official Ubuntu Feisty Live CD, X loads
correctly.
