Public bug reported:
Attempting to install Hardy Alpha4 amd64 on Dell Latitude D630, NVIDIA
Quadro NVS 135M, 1440x900 screen.
If I allow the default "Start or install ubuntu" entry to run, with or
without specifying a VGA mode of 1440x900x32 using F4, I arrive at a
dialog titled "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" which offers me a
choice of configuring, continuing, or rebooting.
If I reconfigure at this point, choosing the nv display driver and the
correct screen resolution, a test succeeds perfectly, but nothing
happens when I continue from the dialog.
Switching to VT1 and examining logs, I found that gdm had exited because
there was already a gdm running. Ps axuw revealed two gdm processes
running at this point, one sleeping the other in state T.
Killing the existing gdm processes and running /etc/init.d/gdm start
brought up the desktop, but other parts of the system start had
apparently been skipped -- I couldn't get the NetworkManager deskbar
applet to respond.
I'll be happy to rerun this and retrieve any log information I can.
** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
