Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati
I couldn't ever get to the desktop on the LiveCD with gutsy BETA - gnome would
try to login, crash, retry, crash, etc.
Finally, I tried a failsafe X session, that worked, so I tried a failsafe gnome
session, and that worked. I installed onto the harddrive, then observed the
same behavior after rebooting off the HD. I had to choose gnome-failsafe for
the session type before I could login.
Figuring that it was a problem with the ati driver, I used the
restricted driver manager to install fglrx, and after I rebooted, I was
able to login with the normal full gnome session - no problem. Just
thought I'd report this, as the behavior on the live CD will definitely
confuse novice users - as they probably won't know to go and choose
failsafe session.
