you will love the results of this testing :)
Gutsy on Non Nvidia machine using Via-Rhine video
Installed Gutsy
Boots and runs correctly every time could not find any problems wth via-rhine
video
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hardy on Non Nvidia machine using Via-Rhine video
Installed Hardy
First boot after install failed after login
killed gnome-keyring
gnome desktop comes up and runs fine
poweroff machine by selecting Shutdown from Quit menu
poweron boot
login succeeds
gnome desktop displays
select restart from quit window
machine reboots
login succeeds
gnome desktop displays
poweroff machine by selecting Shutdown from Quit menu
poweron boot
login succeeds
gnome desktop does not display
kill gnome-keyring
gnome desktop displays
the above tests performed about 7-8 times in various order.
conclusion: My Non Nvidia driver machine will boot into gnome desktop about
80% of the time
the rest of the time killing keyrind lets the gnome desktop
display
--------------------------------------
Hardy on Nvidia (ubuntu restricted drivers, not from Nvidia web) machine
Installed Hardy
First boot after install failed after login
killed gnome-keyring
gnome desktop comes up and runs fine
poweroff machine by selecting Shutdown from Quit menu
poweron boot
login succeeds
gnome desktop does not display
killed gnome-keyring
gnome desktop displays
select restart from quit menu
soft reboot occurs
login succeeds
gnome desktop does not display
killed gnome-keyring
gnome desktop displays
conclusion: any combination of poweron boot or soft boot never displays gnome
desktop unless
gnome-keyring is killed, then the desktop displays and
operates properly.
-----------------------------------
overall conclusion for my machines
in all cases the gnome login screen is displayed and the login succeeds
in all cases killing gnome keyring allows the gnome desktop to display
and perform normal tasks
normal tasks does not mean that every icon on the desktop was
executed/tested
the Non Nvidia machines have somewhat random success (80-90% success rate) at
displaying
the gnome desktop after poweron boot w/o killing the gnome keyring
the Nvidia equipped machine will not display the gnome desktop
after login unless the gnome-keyring process is killed, then the desktop
displays
and appears to function properly, terminal windows are created with
titles, etc. etc. etc.
